The month of June is filled with a lot of emotions for singles. There is the flurry and excitement of June Brides, with a guest list that may include an invite for a "plus one."

During the month of June, my friend and relationship expert Lisa Steadman is celebrating all month long with her 30-day challenge to help singles find love.  As part of this month-long celebration, I was featured with my dating advice on How to be Single and Ready to Mingle.

If you're newly single and you're waiting for your friends to fix you up, before the phone starts to ring with potential dates excited about meeting you, you need to get in shape. Just like exercising before the summer to lose weight and fit into that bikini, you need to get ready to go out there and shine like the star that you are.

Here are some of my favorite pre-dating tips on how to get ready for your hot date.

1. Leave the Baggage Behind. If you are still pining away for your ex, have a conversation with yourself about why you are no longer together. Better yet, take a piece of paper and write down some of the negative traits to remind you it's time to move on. Was he controlling? Did he have a roving eye? A bit too jealous? You need to dismantle him from the pedestal he was on and get ready for a new and exciting beginning. No guy is going to want to hear about the one who broke your heart. I have a saying, "Every Relationship Serves a Purpose, But is Limited." Stand in front of the mirror and repeat it. It truly works.

2. Dress the Part. How you dress tells a story. Men love to unwrap the package, so don't reveal too much. A man will undress you with his eyes, even on your first date. It doesn't mean he's ready to jump into bed with you. Be subtle, and it's still sexy. It's just not an instant invitation to the bedroom.

3. Embrace Your Girlfriend Network. Let everyone you know you would like to be fixed up. Mention it at the nail salon and hairdresser. Have a conversation at the post office with someone you might recognize. Find a supportive network of women who are single and can understand what it's like to be in between relationships. Create a "Girls Night Out" which could include a movie with pre or post film cocktails. Dress flirty and smile. Let the men wonder, "Who's that Girl?"

After years of being on and off her favorite online dating site, a young attractive woman finally found a keeper. At least that what she thought. She named her new beau, "Tech Guy."

The two had been dating for about four months. They enjoyed romantic dinners, wonderful day-outings and Friday movie nights on the couch.  They were a true couples and things were going well.

Like many couples, they were definitely moving from the honeymoon stage into a real relationship. Tech Guy loved soccer and decided to take his date to one of the season's big games. Read just what provoked this date at the concession stand to make them eligible for the Peril of the Week.
