Did you hear about the poor woman whose date stole her car and left her with the restaurant bill?!!! Ladies, ladies, ladies! Please be careful! He could have been a rapist or murderer, not just a thief. Do NOT go out with a man that needs YOU to do the driving! As far as I'm concerned, he should have never been in her car on a first date.
As a matchmaker, I always arrange the two people to meet at an area restaurant. You do not know him yet, so he should not even know what car you drive. I don't share last names or places of employment until AFTER the two people have met and decided they like each other.
I'll bet this guy knows where this woman lives. She'd met him at a casino (see article below) and somehow the next week she ended up driving them to a restaurant, where he subsequently dumped the check on her and sped off with her car after she gave him the keys to 'get his wallet out of the car.'
Please use discernment in dating! Be safe!
Here is the article:
Man Ditches Woman On First Date, Steals Her Car
FERNDALE, Mich.
— Police in Michigan say a first date went from bad to worse when a Detroit man skipped out on the restaurant bill, then stole his date's car.
Police say 23-year-old Terrance Dejuan McCoy had dinner with a woman April 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale. The woman says the two met a week earlier at a Detroit casino and she knew McCoy only as "Chris."
The woman told police that McCoy said he left his wallet in her car and asked for keys. He then sped away in the 2000 Chevrolet Impala.
The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reports that police identified McCoy by a photo he'd sent to the woman's cell phone, and his phone number.
McCoy is charged with unlawfully taking the car, a five-year felony. He waived a preliminary exam and was bound over for trial Thursday.

Unlock Your Inner Diva for Dating Success
There's something sexy about a powerful, take-charge woman who knows what she wants and how to get it! To be an intriguing and sexy Decisive Diva you must develop within yourself the Three E's of Feminine Power: Erotic Power, Economic Power and Emotional Power. Learn how to unlock your own Inner Diva and power date your way to a great relationship.
Erotic Power means you constantly draw from the limitless reservoir of self-respect, serenity and sensuousness at your core. When you get this down you have a mysterious, self-contained air about you that's irresistible to men. They open doors for you and treat you like a queen or a goddess.
It has nothing to do with your size or shape. It's all about the attitude you exude. Self-confidence is just as sexy in a woman as it is in a man.
Economic Power means you earn your own income and responsibly live within your means. You do not depend on a partner to provide for you or rescue you. You must have the financial power to walk away from a relationship if it goes sour.
Emotional Power means you exercise a reasonable amount of control over your thoughts and emotions. You don't let your fears and weaknesses rule your life. You have the strength to live comfortably without a man until you find the right one who is worthy of you.
A woman who has awakened her Inner Diva is a woman who respects and values herself. She does not waste time on a man who will not be able to meet her needs. She uses her head to look at the facts about a man's character and behavior as she dates him. When all signals are a go, she then allows her heart to open and lead the way.
When you embrace the Three E's, you'll be able to date productively and be objective about the men you meet. Dating is not about you trying to please him. It's about him trying to please you. Let him audition for the plum role of co-starring with you in your already wonderful life.

Dating in the Dark tv show
Last night was the second time I watched the new ABC show called "Dating in the Dark" after one of my clients mentioned it to me. Surprisingly, I like it!
The concept is this: three guys and three girls move into a mansion for a few days but are not allowed to meet each other, except in the dark room. It starts out with the three women and three men having a meet/greet in the dark room together, so all of them are able to talk and interact with one another in the group setting. Based on that larger meeting, each person is allowed to then invite a member of the opposite sex for a 'date' in the dark room alone.
The participants have NO IDEA what their dates look like. So the initial interest is totally based on the person's voice and personality or the way they answered the questions in the group date.
In last week's episode, no one ended up getting together - even though they had had several 'in the dark' dates and thought they liked each other. After a couple of 'in the dark' meetings, the two people decide whether or not they want to meet face to face in the light, but it is still in the dark room! The lights come up on one of them for a few seconds (they are behind a glass booth) and then the other for a few seconds. It is just a short look at the person, and last week they were all disappointed in their love interest's looks.
It is kind of funny! In this week's episode, each person had to work with a sketch artist to try to come up with an image of what they THOUGHT their date looked like, based on their personalities and voices. They were way off, in most cases. They also got to go through the three cars of the opposite sex, to see what that would reveal about them.
It was interesting to see what the person would do once they really liked the other person until they SAW what they looked like. There was a larger woman in last night's episode that was hitting it off really well with a very slender, good-looking middle eastern guy. He was sensitive, artistic (poet and song writer) and they seemed to really like each other. They hugged in the dark room, so you knew that he could probably tell she was a larger girl.
When they decided to see what each other looked like, she looked really cute with her hair curled and a low-cut dress on. He looked like a cabbie! He was very handsome in person, but in that instant when the light came on with him standing there, I'll bet he looked like a New York cab driver to her. He was wearing black jeans, a yellow leather jacket and a scarf around his neck.
She decided she didn't want to go out on a real date with him. It was kind of sad, because he was willing to go out with her, even though she was bigger than the women he usually was attracted to.
Another woman from last's night show decided she didn't even need to see what they guy she'd been getting to know looked like! She said there wasn't enough chemistry for her to even pursue seeing his face! He was disappointed because he'd actually gone to the dark room to see what she looked like in the light and she didn't show up! He was staring at an empty room when the lights came up. Talk about rejection!
There was one couple that no only hit it off, but were attracted to each other when they saw their faces in the light. That was a happy ending.
One thing I've noticed about this show from the two weeks I've watched is that the MEN seem more willing than the women to give the relationship a try! Last week and this week, two of the three women decided not to meet the guys in person. I would have at least given it a chance in person, like the guys were willing to do. You never know how you are going to feel in person, face to face, with the lights on. I say give it a shot!

Dating VIA Skype
Well, there are several new forms of dating out there – from Dating in the Dark to Dating via SKYPE. What does the Diva Dating Coach think about this?
I say WHATEVER WORKS! Try anything and everything (short of illegal or immoral activity) to help find The One You Can Love. The whole dating in the dark thing is just for television. There is no way that situation would really play out in the real world. But dating via Skype is practical and useful, especially if you are open to dating someone long distance.
Here is how it works, one member of the opposite sex meets with three of the other sex over SKYPE to chat about various issues or topics to see if there is any chemistry. Afterwards the person chooses the one that he/she had the most interest or chemistry with for a real date.
I don't see anything wrong with this type of set-up. It saves you time and money and nothing is lost if you don't want a real date with the person. I think this will probably catch on and more people will start doing the webcam/skype type dates before they will agree to meet someone in person.
