When looking to date someone in a professional position, you should know that most executives are leery of joining traditional on line dating sites. You likely will not find many eligible executives listed on those sites. However, there are dating sites that actually cater to executives that you can join and develop a relationship.
You may also be surprised to learn that many executives are not really looking to date another executive. Many are primarily looking for someone to go to dinner with, maybe a take in a show or have a night out on the town just for some fun and relaxation. Being an executive can be very stressful and a date with someone who is not a fellow executive is preferable because it eliminates "shop talk" and focuses on just having fun.
That said, it does help your chances of getting a date if you are a professional person who can match up as far as education and intellect. You should not be in the same profession, however, just to keep it interesting for both of you. For example, a Wall Street type might fit well with a professional concert musician or photographer.
Executive online dating sites operate much the same as mainstream online dating sites. You will be required to create a personal profile. You should keep your profile accurate and honest. Honestly share your likes, dislikes, education, and so forth so a potential date can decide whether to pursue you further. Post your best head shot and perhaps some snapshots or video of you having fun doing your favorite things.
Executive online dating sites, like traditional sites, allow members to view the profiles of potential partners easily. This allows you to search for a particular type of professional you hope will be your perfect date. You can search the database using a wide range of criteria to narrow the field.
Of course, it is not unusual for some executives to be seeking a marriage partner. Executive dating sites are an easy way to narrow the selection of potential mates. If getting married is your goal, you may want to state that fact in your profile. Don't hide the fact. It will eliminate prospects who are only interested in a platonic relationship.
Another aspect of executive online dating sites, that is quite popular, is the ability to meet other executives with similar business interests or hobbies. This can lead to joint business ventures or just simple friendships which can broaden experiences and knowledge of shared hobbies. Using an executive dating site does not have to be only about dating or marriage.
As with all online dating services, caution is strongly advised, especially if you are seeking to date an executive with a highly visible position in their company. Most executives are careful whom they choose to date to be sure they will not jeapordize their company or put themselves in a compromising position. This is another reason to choose someone who is not in your profession. It eliminates conflicts and doubt. Executives are aware that it is not unusual for competitors to troll executive dating sites looking for an advantage.
While executive dating sites were established to cater primarily to the time and schedule constraints of busy executives, executives are not 100% immune to persons who might try and exploit them financially. This is why it is a good idea to use mainly executive online dating sites with an established reputation rather than newer sites. Of course, if you find a site that has good testimonials from other members, sign up and check it out to see if it fits.
When evaluating which site to join, review the number of executive listings. Look over some member profiles, if they allow it. The more executives listed, the better chance you will have of finding someone in their database that matches you.
Another way to check out potential executive dating sites is to simply do an Internet search for "reviews". Use the name of the site and the word "reviews". You will likely find comments from folks who either like or dislike the particular site and their reasons. You may also find reviews by people who are experts at evaluating such sites. However, make sure the reviews are not pushing a particular site. The review writer may be getting a commission if you sign up through their review.
How much are membership fees?
Well, the best executive dating sites do charge a membership fee and will require that you fill out an application form of some kind, perhaps, even require that you answer survey questions to be sure your motives are honorable. That said, you will find the cost very reasonable for the value they provide.
Some sites have various plans from which to choose and they are priced accordingly. To get a feel for the whole on line dating process, look for free on line dating sites and those that offer a free trial period before you actually commit to a membership fee.
Many people have found companionship, love, and marriage through online executive dating sites. So, go ahead and give it a chance. You just might become one of the success stories.

Relationship Ebb and Flow
Relationships are supposed to be peaceful, rewarding, and fun! They're not supposed to be boring, difficult, or distant. If your relationship with your lover has turned a little chilly, lost its excitement or is now just plain boring, when did it begin to lose its spunk?
Maybe your relationship with your partner just gradually lost its sparkle over time, stressed by the demands made on you by children, business, finances, diverging interests or just by the sheer boredom of familiarity.
All our relationships, as too, our business success, sporting prowess and flow of life generally, begin as a thought in our mind. Remember when you first fell in love with your partner; you thought of them day in, day out. Life was a joy because you were united in loving another person deeply and completely. And you knew you were being loved in return – and this, by the way, is a bonus. Essentially, love is about giving.
Those early days of infatuated, romantic love were wonderful, invigorating and deliciously pleasant. And that is what love is meant to be like; compelling, joyous, energizing and filling your thoughts with desire to be with your lover, to hold her and be held by her, close, intimate, one, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
But life is an ebb and flow of energy. It comes in and fills up, then it pauses, breathless for a moment or two, before releasing its tension and flowing away. That’s polarity, a fundamental condition of life. You may remain in love, but the feeling of intensity will vary, just like the ocean tides. The moment you stop waiting for the incoming wave is when you start forgetting to care, and love begins to dim a little. Continue on this path of imperceptibly waning interest and your love will starve for want of emotional energy.
Union in love, as with union in anything, means joining to become one. It means looking into your partner’s eyes with a twinkle of joy and a smile, just because you see and appreciate her uniqueness and beauty of soul. It means knowing you have a special, unique and intimate connection with your partner that grows richer and more lively every day.
And it means you have to consciously and deliberately cultivate that way of seeing, of feeling, of smiling with your eyes, of expecting (and thereby empowering) the best of your partner, of loving unconditionally.
You will know your love is growing stronger and deeper daily, when she is always with you in thought, in energy presence. Sensitivity to each other is love in action; passive action sometimes, but none the less real. This is part of the inevitable ebb and flow in your relationship: giving, receiving, allowing, asking, responding, speaking, listening, being vulnerable, strong, honest, lovable and always, no matter what, offering unconditional love.
In giving love you will always end up receiving more than you gave. That is the nature of love. If you find your partner unable to give you the love you desire in the moment, that is your opportunity to love unconditionally through allowing her space to be as she is. She will do the same for you in your moments of low energy, pain or stress. Reciprocal understanding and forgiveness will forge a bond of love that will withstand the test of familiarity, of tension and stress, of sadness, of divergent growth.
And finally, if perchance you find your relationship is irrevocably over, and this may happen, know that love is still your essence. In every moment, love is seeking expression in your life. When you step out from one relationship, believe that step is taken in the direction of love waiting for you afresh, with open arms.
