Best Concerts For Daters

Making conversation during a date can be awkward. This, however, isn't a problem if you bring your date to a concert (unless one of you is one of those people who insists on talking during the show). If you are going to go for the concert date, however, a little planning is needed.

While you may be a huge Metallica fan, it may not be her cup of tea. At the same time, though, it might not be worth going to see Il Divo if you're going to snooze through the whole show.

With that in mind, here are some of the best concerts for daters that could make for a fun time for both of you.

BEST CONCERTS FOR DATERS #1

COLDPLAY

Coldplay's Chris Martin and co. certainly aren't strangers to the arena scene. Exploding onto the world-tour circuit in the early '00s with hits like "Yellow" and, later, "Clocks, Fix You," etc., Coldplay makes for one of the best concert dates because their music translates particularly well from studio recording to live performance.

Chris Martin in particular is the driving force of Coldplay concerts as he pounds away at his piano, calling to mind similar piano-heavy classic rock acts of the '70s.

FOR WOMEN: You will dig the Coldplay concert because of the overt sentimentality present in many of their songs and the high level of mushy romance that permeates their music.

FOR MEN: You will dig the show because, to be fair, a lot of Coldplay songs rock pretty good. Get past Chris Martin's pretty boy front man persona and let yourself appreciate the rest of the band's competencies, particularly Jonny Buckland's heavy guitar riffs.

BEST CONCERTS FOR DATERS #2

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

At the risk of offending Deadheads out there, the Dave Matthews Band is a little like a slightly more polished albeit middle of the road version of the Grateful Dead. Granted, A Dave Matthews concert may not have that same perpetual cloud that was always present over the crowd at a Dead show, but on a band dynamic level, both acts are united in their jam style.

In their live shows, Matthews and co. get to bust out their jam chops much more than in the studio setting, resulting in a constantly changing and evolving concert experience which is never repeated from town to town. Now if that isn't a best concert date, I don't know what is.

FOR WOMEN: You will thoroughly enjoy Matthews' softer numbers and the entertainment of it all.

FOR MEN: Long improvised numbers combined with a bevy of video and lighting effects and you will go nuts for the surprise covers that Matthews has been known to pull out.

BEST CONCERTS FOR DATERS #3

FOO FIGHTERS

The Foo Fighters have grown musically by leaps and bounds since their inception in 1995. Recognized initially as the solo project started by the drummer from Nirvana (Dave Grohl), the Foo Fighters have since become one of America's best rock bands.

While the Fighters may have started out by releasing heavily-charged catchy singles, they now tend to incorporate more acoustic material into their act. Their live show is no different. Often diving their concert into electric and acoustic sets, there's a little something for everyone.

Whether screaming his lungs out on songs like "Best of You" or "Pretender," or showing off his more sensitive song-writing abilities in songs like "Everlong" or "Next Year," Grohl is able to work the audience into a frenzy.

FOR MEN & WOMEN: The fact that Bob Dylan himself personally chose the group to open for him for a series of shows should be enough to let any man or woman know that this is a show which transcends the differences of appreciation between men and women.

Confidence is obviously very important if you want to be good at approaching women. One of the biggest challenges with maintaining confidence is that it is very easy to forget about all of the things which you might be doing correctly as soon as you make a single mistake. As human beings, we tend to be very good at putting the spotlight on things that are going wrong. We also tend to underestimate or undervalue ourselves when we do something right or when things are going well. It's almost like we never notice the things which are positive. But when something negative happens, even if it is something really small, we blow it out of proportion and focus on it.

Here is a useful exercise that can help you with your confidence, especially in the early stages of getting better with women: simply keep track of your wins for the day. In other words, list ten or twenty small wins that you achieved during the day. By doing this, you will get your subconscious to focus on positivity and recognize that you are building momentum and moving forward in your life.

The wins which you record don't have to be anything dramatic. It could be something as simple as getting out of bed in the morning when you weren't feeling like it, or finishing some work that you have been procrastinating about for the last few days. It's a very healthy and powerful thing to do. If you do this over two or three months, then I guarantee that your whole outlook on success will shift. You will definitely build a lot more confidence and that will be of great service to you when meeting women.

Another important point that I want to highlight is that we often set unrealistic expectations for ourselves. Interacting with other people is not fully within our control, and unrealistic expectations can put a lot of pressure on us to perform. Sometimes re-evaluating our outcomes can be a great way to cultivate success and build more positive momentum.

For example, there is a big difference between going up to a woman with the intention that she must like you and the intention of just starting a conversation. If you have a mindset of trying to make women like you, then you will find that you will start to over-analyse things. You will start worrying about factors that are outside of your control. She might not like you and it might have nothing to do with who you are or how you approached her. That's life. Not everyone is going to like you.

Unrealistic expectations will create negative momentum that will make building confidence a lot more difficult. If you make your expectations a bit more realistic, and focus more on the things which you actually can control, then you will find that success will come a lot more easily. If your intention is to approach a girl and talk to her, then all you have to do is go up to her and say something. What you say and how she responds won't matter since you will have achieved your goal.

By setting more realistic expectations, you will start to build positive momentum and be more successful. That will make it a lot easier for you to sustain your confidence and make more progress.

Anne Heche Trash Talks Ex Husband

On Wednesday August 26, 2009, ANNE HECHE was a guest on" NIGHT WITH DAVID "and took the opportunity to beat down her ex-husband COLEY LAFFOON, whom she divorced in 2007 and has a son with.

First, she called him a "lazy ass", then she went on to say that his mission is to coach a 7-year-old soccer team.

Then when DAVID LETTERMAN asked ANNE HECHE what he does, she replied, "He goes out to the mailbox, and he opens the little mailbox door and goes, 'Oh, I got a check from Anne! Oh my gosh, I got a check from Anne! Yay!'"

The audience cracked up, but it's obvious that she's quite bitter about the whole thing.

ANNE HECHE seems to be forgetting that she used ELLEN DEGENERES as a means to making a name for herself in Hollywood, then suddenly became "straight" again.

What makes it all so sad is that she seems real bitter about it and man, this is the father of her child. Is that any way to talk about her son's dad? What if her son sees it? I'm guessing she likely talks that way in front of her son anyway. Who's the real loser?
