PROFNET WIRE: ENTERTAINMENT & LIVING: Online Dating. Aug. 12, 2005 ROUND-UP Online Dating (continued, 3 experts) LEADS
ROUND-UP: ONLINE DATING (continued) We've added the following to items posted previously at http://profnet.prnewswire.com/organik/orbital/thewire/lst_leads.jsp?iLRTopicID =10459 1. APRIL MASINI, relationship expert, author and advice columnist for ASKAPRIL.COM, LLC: "Once a refuge for the socially inept and desperate, advertising yourself and searching for Mr. or Mrs. 'Right' without ever leaving your computer is now a way of life for singles of all ages, persuasions, levels of attractiveness and financial status. Why? Advantages, like the all-important delete button. We may all wish we had one in 'real life,' but the only place you can actually edit yourself is online. Access -- immediate and 24/7 real-time dating doesn't allow you to date 30 people a night, and online dating does. Affordability -- $25 a month allows you to meet hundreds of potential dates. Anonymity -- cyber-connecting allows you to be as honest, or as dishonest, as you like. Both a business and social phenomenon, it's revolutionized dating and forever changed the way we meet and mate." Masini: april@askapril.com (8/12/05) 2.

KERI WILLENBORG, co-founder of SUPPER THYME USA and mother of five, can discuss the advantages of eating dinner as a family: "National Eat Dinner Together Week is coming up. Here's the challenge: eat dinner together as a family for one whole week. It's not as easy as most think. Studies have shown that when we eat together as a family unit, we eat healthier and communicate better with others. Also, people who eat dinner at home are twice as likely to eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables each day. If parents could sit down and see what their kids are eating for dinner, childhood obesity levels would surely drop." News Contact: Jodi Hoatson, jodih@ervinandsmith.com Phone: +1-402-829-8044 (8/12/05) 2. RELATIONSHIPS: EMOTIONAL INFIDELITY AND EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. RUTH HOUSTON, infidelity expert, author of "Is He Cheating on You? 829 Telltale Signs" and founder of INFIDELITYADVICE.COM: "Jennifer Aniston's Vanity Fair interview has focused attention on emotional infidelity or emotional cheating, as it's sometimes called. Inappropriate friendships with members of the opposite sex can lead to emotional infidelity, which often precedes sexual infidelity. I accurately labeled the Brad-Angelina relationship as emotional infidelity in January when the rumors first began and predicted that, left unchecked, it would undermine Pitt and Aniston's marriage. It can happen to any couple." Houston can discuss how emotional infidelity develops, how to recognize it and how to keep it from becoming an extramarital affair. She has been quoted in the New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Newsday, First, MSN Lifestyle and others. Houston: ruthhouston@gmail.com Phone: +1-718-592-6039 (8/12/05) 3.
