Dating Diet Tip: Share an Entrée, but Get Two Plates
My friend DearSugar offered some great tips on keeping your diet in check while dating, and here's another one. When dining out with your significant other, a great way to prevent consuming a day's worth of calories in one sitting is to order one entrée and share it. But before your meal arrives, ask your server for two separate plates.

How to Avoid Gaining Weight While Dating
Being in a relationship is so exciting, but when you spend so much time together, your healthy lifestyle can fly out the window. You may even adopt some of your partner's unhealthy habits. That can add up to some extra pounds on the scale, so here are some tips to prevent weight gain while dating.
Dating Diet Tip: Have a Glass of Wine, Not a Bottle
When out on a date, sharing a bottle of wine can be quite romantic. But drinking half a bottle means you'll end up drinking over two glasses of wine. Although red wine does have many health benefits, remember that it's recommended that women only have one alcoholic beverage a day.
Fit Tip: Schedule a Fitness Date So You Can't Skip Out
I'm a fan of early morning workouts because they make the rest of my day better. The problem is, once your alarm goes off, it's so easy to roll over, hit the snooze button, and skip out. You wouldn't be able to sleep in if you knew someone was counting on you to show up though, right?
How-to: Find Someone Online
The debate whether or not to Google potential lovers is a tricky one, but the truth is, there's no harm in it. Finding friends, acquaintances, or even strangers online is a simple and discreet way to learn a little bit — or a whole lot! — about them.

While a great date can lead to something really special, most of the excitement of going out with someone new comes from the anticipation that we build up beforehand. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that much of a date’s magic begins building in the early stages — when you’re home getting ready. To see some of my ideas for this important dating ritual, read more
Before Your Big Date, Part II
Getting ready for a big date can take some extra effort, but can also be a ton of fun. Even if the date isn't so great, at least you've been able to pamper yourself a bit beforehand! I've already come up with a few suggestions when preparing for your night out, but to see my final tips, read more
Do You Cover the Receipt When You're Tallying the Total?
Something I've noticed when dining out with particular friends and was a constant when I was dating, is the tendency for many people to cautiously guard the receipt when filling out the tip.
I always wondered if dates treating me to dinner were trying to cover up the total or the tip, but with friends signing their separate bills I can only conclude they're shy about that tip line. Some people are definitely more private than others when settling the bill — are you one of them?
Get Hot (Pink Lips) Like Eva Mendes
We here at Sugar HQ have decided that Eva Mendes never looks anything but absolutely beautiful. At a recent Calvin Klein event in Milan, Eva proved that the rules are meant to be broken. While her skin and hair coloring are more in the warm-toned family, the actress still managed to pull off a traditionally cooler-toned hot pink lip that had just the slightest glimpse of a coral undertone.
