Jennifer Aniston Finds Her A New Brad...

That's right... and good for her- kind of. Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper were seen together and not on set. They're not actually a couple...yet... but the “He’s Just Not Into You” co-stars were seen out for a late night din-din Thursday that came off as a bit suspicious on the romantic tip.

Jenn and Brad-ley (I love it) had dinner at Il Cantinori in Manhattan. Both of them arrived to the restaurant around 11 PM and stayed for almost two hours. Jen and Bradley drank San Pelligrino water and dined on pasta, salad and filet mignon. According to the source, Jen is a regular at the upscale restaurant.

I'm just diggin the fact that it's another Brad!!! Although Brad Pitt is hotter, Bradley Cooper ain't too far behind!!! Look at those eyes??? Either way, they both have something else in common and that's the names of their exes. Jenns: Brad & Bradley: Jennifer. NICE!!!

When Is It Too Soon To Move In Together?

Traditionally speaking, it's been somewhat taboo for couples who are only dating to move in with one another. Moving in together is a major issue with most couples once the relationship begins to get serious. It's more of a big deal with men than it is with women. Men begin to wonder what things will change for him; Will he have to come home at a certain time? Will he be able to hang with the fellas like normal? How much cleaning will he actually have to do himself... you know, the typical male stress factors. For most couples, the choice of whether to move in with one another is already decided for them. That is, if they have certain religious or cultural beliefs. But nine times out of ten, the reasons for moving in together aren't for the right reasons.

You've heard the saying, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" right? I'm sure you have. So if you're just dating and haven't taken the next step in the relationship such as engagement or marriage, why do you need to move in together? Some couples do it because they practically spend every free moment they have together already. Others do it for economic reasons. And with the way the economy is going right now, I wouldn't doubt it if we seen an enflux of cohabitation going on. For couples who may be engaged, they may feel that prolonging the evitable is a waste of time, so they go ahead before the big wedding day and move in together, only to find out that they can't stand being in the same household, let along same room for more than a day together.

I think I'm straddling this fence on this subject. On one hand, it makes sense to move in together before you're married because it let's you really get a good look at the person who you're dealing with. You pretty much get to know all of their quirky habits and flaws. When that day comes and you get super serious in the relationship, you can look back and really think about everything that you've seen in the last few months, years, etc... and ask yourself, "do I really want to spend the rest of my life with this person?" If you answer yes, then I think moving in was just what you're relationship needed to convince you that he/she was the one for you. Now, on the other hand, if you and your mate move in together and you start arguing every 5 minutes, and you can't stand to hear the key unlock the door when they come home, then no, moving in together was a bad decision. Maybe it means that you aren't meant to be together, or it just might be that the timing is off. There are a number of things that could play into this.

But when is it too soon to move in together? If you just met the guy/girl a few weeks earlier and already you have a key to his/her apartment and he/she wants you to move in with them, you may want to step back a little bit and think things through. Sure, some couples meet, get married in a months and live long and happy lives, but these cases are very rare and far and few in between. If you are having second thoughts about moving in so quickly, always go with your first mind. Listen to your gut and wait a little bit until the initial dating has waned a bit and things have started to settle. At that point you can decide whether or not moving in together is a good idea. If at any point you feel that moving in together is not a good idea, then you might be right!

Is Internet Dating Still Dangerous?

Years ago, if you told someone that you met your mate online, you were looked at almost as if you had lepracy or something. Those days are long gone, but are there still dangers in internet dating? I used to think that finding someone online was no different than finding someone at the grocery store, in church, or getting gas. Rationalizing it out to be the equivalent to not truly knowing those people either. Honestly, that dude that you met in the club... how much do you really know about him? You only know, what he tells you right? So how can internet dating be any different?

We can now talk to people online, who, we would never probably talk to in a bar or a club, and dating sites and personal ads no longer have the "stigma" that they once did. Of course, you may still feel a twinge of embarrassment when telling your friends or family that you met your new boo online, but do people really care anymore? Internet dating has gained popularity by leaps and bounds, and unfortunately, so have the dangers and horror stories some have encountered.

With the anonymity that internet dating has afforded, con artists have found themselves a new playground for scams, which has also allowed people to be anyone they think you want them to be because they are engaging you primarily through the written word. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that you can't find a good mate online, but just be a little more wary when meeting them in person. Internet dating is still a relatively new way of people connecting with people from all over the globe, and people need to understand the dangers out there so they can make their search a safe one.

There are many scams that prey on lonely, older women/men. I remember watching Dateline NBC one night, and there were covering a scam from all the over in Nigeria. These men would go into the online chat rooms, meet older, white women, and scam them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They would send pictures of some model looking guy, and they would tell them that they were stuck over there, because of some reason or other and they were hoping to get back to the states so that they could get back to their "business". Needless to say, these women were bilked for tons of money. Most of them really believing that they had a relationship with these men, only to find out that the man that they fell in love with "long distance" isn't even real.

Internet dating has been portrayed mostly with "success stories", because many of those who have had bad experiences are too embarrassed to talk about them openly, thinking they are the rarity, or the "unlucky one". Movies and T.V. have also focused on the lighter side of internet dating as opposed to the darker side. What's tricky here is people WANT to believe they are going to find what they are looking for (nothing wrong with that) and DON'T want to believe someone may be lying to them or playing games. They think they are "too smart" to fall for b.s., and it is that attitude that leaves them wide open to be proven wrongInternet dating has proved to be successful for some, but statistics show it is not always successful for many. The numerous horror stories of bad internet experiences can range from the humorous, to the deadly. If you have decided that you really want to try internet dating, remember to take it seriously, and play it safe.
