Romantic Relationships

Romantic Relationships
By Ozie Kleine


Often people go into their first committed relationships during college. Romantic relationships can be magnificent, bringing out the best in two people. However, even the healthiest relationships will have times when things are confusing, complex, and challenging. Problems occasionally happen when two people have conflicting hope of what their relationship "should" be like, are diverted by other academic or personal problems, or have difficulty communicating in ways that their partner can really listen to and understand.

The early months of a relationship are often easy and exciting, but flourishing long-term relationships involve continuous effort and compromise by both partners. Because relationship abilities are hardly ever "taught," sometimes one or both partners just may not know how to begin and preserve a healthy and equally satisfying relationship. Some people say that relationships are a tricky business. It does not pay to enter in them unless you are being yourself. Accepting differences is important too, but most importantly is being yourself.

One first key aspects of healthy romantic relationships is falling in love. This is phase when people can construct a healthy relationship from the start. It is not strange for the first months of relationships to be full of promise and relatively free of conflict. While some people experience the excitement of meeting someone new and falling in love, other relationships build slowly or originate in a friendship that grows into love over time. Falling in love transmits our partner in the best possible light, and we often don't notice or are willing to overlook potential the bumpy spots. However, building a healthy relationship pattern early can establish a solid basis for the long run.

When you are just starting a relationship, it may be important to:

Build. Build a basis of appreciation and respect. Focus on all the considerate things your partner says and does. Happy couples make a point of noticing even small opportunities to say "thank you" to their partner, rather than focusing on mistakes their partner has made.

Explore. Explore each other's interests and passions so that you have a long list of things to enjoy together. Try new things together to expand mutual interests.

Establish. Establish a pattern of apologizing if you make a mistake or hurt your partner's feelings. Saying "I'm sorry" may be hard enough in the moment but goes a long way towards healing a crack in a relationship. Your partner will trust you more if he or she knows that you will take responsibility for your words and actions.

As the months go by it may be important to be familiar with that relationships change and that you should check in periodically.

Relationships change over time. What you want from a relationship in the early months of dating may be quite different from what you want after you have been together for some time. Changes in life outside your relationship will impact what you want and need from the relationship. Even constructive change tends to be stressful, but change is unavoidable. Welcoming change as an occasion to improve the relationship is more rewarding than trying to keep change from happening.

With this in mind, periodically give time to "check in with each other" on changing hope and purpose. These discussions are hardly free of unease, and it is tempting to put off them. Couples can find that if they overlook hard topics too long, their relationship has flowed into rough waters without their noticing. Managing together about changes can make stronger and make deeper the relationship you are building. Then, good communication is key for this period.

Online Dating-Do Not Tell The Truth

Online Dating-Do Not Tell The Truth by Vivian Johnson

I've been involved with online dating since...since forever! In the beginning, when I set up my profiles, I was totally honest. Over the years, I began to regret it!
When I state: Do not tell the truth, it is only to protect yourself. I tell the truth about my exterior, not my interior.

Being honest about your feeling, emotions, future plans and dreams is a huge mistake! Online, that is the equivalent to leaving a cash stuffed armored truck in a back alley, with the keys in it.

If you haven't discovered it already, the online dating sites are over populated with emotional con artists and leeches. They prey on your feelings and emotions. That is why I do not tell the truth.

Most of us think, by laying our feelings on the line...by letting it all hang out we will have a better chance at attracting someone compatible to our dreams, hopes, ambitions, etc. To be perfectly honest? It has backfired on me four out of five times! When I got tired of being emotionally abused, I learned; do not tell the truth!

Emotional con artists study you like a book. They will take your truth, ask additional questions, and then miraculously transform themselves into the person of your dreams! Your profile states: you love public displays of affection? So do they! you love spooning on a plush rug in front of the fireplace on a rainy night...so do they! you love to go to local carnivals late at night...guess what? So do they!

Soon you feel like you've found your soul mate. You haven't, but you gave him the key to your innermost thoughts, hopes, desires, and dreams.

Online, we give total strangers access to very private information. They in turn, can turn around and trash it! Because of this, I learned to not tell the truth...until that special one has earned his way into that secret place. And...not until then.

Thinking about Friends with Benefits?

Friends With Benefits - Beneficial or Superficial?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Vince_Groth]Vince Groth

In this day and age friends with benefits is becoming more and more popular. I've surveyed people of multiple age groups asking the same questions hoping to learn more about it myself. Suprisingly to me the group of people who were born in the 60s and 70s knew the least about these. I would've assumed otherwise but apparently one night stands were more popular back then. I've also talked to a bunch of college students, about an equal number of males and females and I came to one conclusion. Based on the numbers, males prefer friends with benefits where as females prefer relationships(statistic is based on my numbers alone of over 100 surveyed college students). Some of you are probably thinking, "Duh!" but do any of you know why that is? I think I've figured it out. When it comes to relationships, especially in younger couples, the female wants her man, one man, to fulfill ALL of her needs. Whereas men want multiple girls to fulfill one need...

Here's the kicker to everything I've just explained. When I asked the female show many of them has at least 1 friend with benefits or had one in the last 3 years almost 80% of them have. And i made sure that all one-nighters were rules out. So if females want a relationship and males want friends with benefits why do so many females give in? Are they weak and feeble minded? Are men just that smart? I don't want to yes to either of those questions, but at the same time I think so (and i capitalize) TO AN EXTENT. Based on my experience, when a female and a male connect they try to do or say things to keep the other party interested. Now if a friends with benefits type of thing is what the guy is looking for, and he knows this right off the bat, he needs to play his cards right. He has to keep her interested enough to want to be with him, but at the same time keep enough distance to make it clear that they aren't exclusive. And all to often, women who want a boyfriend will be interested enough that they fall for him and want him bad enough they think they are willing to wait for him. The problem with that is it is a false hope. Once the guy knows he's getting his physical desires met without the need of a relationship why would he change (im not saying all guys, just going with my numbers)? The simple answer is, they wouldn't. And rightly so.

To wander off track a little, think of it as a game. You have 2 players, the guy and the girl. Both teams have different objectives. The guy wants the physical needs met without the other relationship-like necessities, however the female wants it all. So, the guy starts out with his strategy and the girl starts with hers. (This is the part about the feeble minded females...sorry ladies) And going back to my numbers the guy generally prevails. Because the female has that false hope that he will change and want a relationship sometime in the future. Which he very well could, but one of the questions in my survey was, "If you were getting everything you wanted from a girl without needing a relationship would you start to date her knowing the kind of stress that goes along with a relationship." All but 3 guys said, "no". Which again makes perfect sense.

Personally, I am an advocate for FWBs, especially for the younger adults. From my experience, both personal and witnessed, heres how it goes: Guy and girl meet, they talk, they're attracted, they like what each other has got to offer and before you know it they're dating exclusively. And then before you blink they're broken up. Why? Because they really don't know the person and when they first meet they are blind to the other persons faults. So why FWB? you get a chance to really see if you are compatible with each other. You have time to BASICALLY act like boyfriend and girlfriend without all of the added stressors. If you can make it past the initial stressors then you know that there might actually be a fighting chance to a real relationship. Another reason I'm all for FWBs, I am 19, I'm working full-time. I'm taking 17 college credits, and I have issues with my parents (whom I live with). My plate is full. It isn't only not fair to me to have to try to make a relationship work, but it is really not fair for me to put someone through that. I can hardly talk, or hang out. I don't have money to buy her nice gifts(which shouldn't be and isn't necessary, but a nice gesture). And quite frankly, women=stress.

As men we always go out of way to please our ladies, even if it doesn't always seem that way to them, the fact is we try to hard and can't see the obvious. But thats for another day. the fact of the matter is when in a relationship, a real, exclusive relationship the most important thing is attention. I know it sounds weird, but it's not love, or compatibility no matter how much we wish could say it is. It is attention. How much attention do you pay to the other person. And I'm not going to lie, if I had an exclusive girl friend right now she would not get the attention she deserves and I'm sure a lot of guys would agree. i find it hard enough to pay attention to my FWBs with my crazy schedule.

Thats the beauty of FWBs though. And this is where it all comes together. Hypothetical situation: You have an FWB who you really like. Someone who you could even see yourself marrying someday. You have 2 choices. Ask the person for an exclusive relationship and take the chance that you ruin it because you can't accommodate to a relationship at this time. Or remain FWBs, keeping that person close to you so that when your life opens up you can have her all to yourself, but taking the chance that someone else doesn't get to her first.

My advice, if it isn't already obvious. If you're young and busy don't rush into a relationship. They really are stressful and you may have school, or a new career to focus on. Life is all about chances, but don't ruin that life over what could be. Take the time and devote your mind to what really matters right now. So basically, if you fit my description and you really like someone, don't put them through a sub-par relationship. And vice-versa, if they really like you, they'll wait.

Intimacy and Passion - we all need more. Don't we?

Relationship Advice for "Amping" Up Your Passion and Intimacy
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Susie_Collins]Susie Collins

It's pretty much a universal fact that deep down everyone just wants to be loved. What is often overlooked or taken for granted, however, is that the ways people want to be loved can be quite different. We are all individuals with particular likes and dislikes so it makes sense that when it comes to experiencing love; we are not all the same.

Believe it or not, part of amping up the intimacy in your relationship is exploring the differences between you and your partner-especially when it comes to how you each want to be loved. What it all comes down to is tuning in to your desires and listening with openness to your partner's desires. The results can be a more passionate, close and connected loving relationship.

Have you ever prepared a "dream date" for your love with the intention to treat him or her and show those deep feelings you share? Maybe it was a quiet evening at home with flowers, a special meal, and a movie. After the preparations are complete, your love arrives home for this surprise and while he or she expresses appreciation, just doesn't seem as jazzed about the whole thing as you are. So your "dream date" isn't quite so dreamy after all. You might even feel some irritation or fear that your partner doesn't feel the excitement of the moment as you do.

Does a "dream date" flop mean that this couple's marriage is in trouble? Probably not. It could just mean that they haven't taken the time to really get to know how each of them wants to be loved.

It might be that your partner feels more excited and special about going out dancing together than staying home. It could also be that there's something from his or her past that make this particular scenario not feel so special. For example, maybe your love had a past partner who gave him or her flowers frequently and insincerely. If this was the case, flowers would not have the effect you might be intending.

Take some time to answer these questions to avoid "dream date" flops like this and, to instead amp up intimacy....

1.) How do you want to be loved?

So how do you want to be loved? It seems like a no-brainer kind of question, but it may not be. Have you ever sat down and really thought about what you like and don't like in terms of receiving love? If not, do it!

When you spend some time tuning in to what really makes you feel good, you will be clearer about what you want (and what you don't want). You may not even realize that the ways you've been loved just don't feel as good to you as others that are possible. This can (and hopefully will) be a fun exploration. As you figure out what makes you feel fabulous love inside, share with your partner.

2.) How many ways can you think of being loved?

This may seem like a silly exercise but it can be quite helpful. We often place limits on the ways we express love. The "dream date" flop described above consisted of the traditional elements-flowers, food, a movie. What if there were more?

Make a list of all of the ways you might express your love to someone else and be sure to put your answers to question #1. on that list. Nothing is off-limits and try to keep judgments out of it. Some people like to fix or make things for the ones they love. Others spend money on gifts to express their love. Still others write poems or songs to show their love. From the very simple to more involved; it can be physical, emotional, or spiritual-love can be experienced in so many ways.

Now that you've made your list, you can expand on what you came up with in question #1. Love can feel deeper and richer still as you discover the variety of its forms.

3.) How does your love want to be loved?

The exploration continues! You might want to back up to question #2. and share the list-making with your partner. It's probable that you will each come up with unique ideas. And it's quite possible that you will find ways of loving that you hadn't thought of before. As a couple, you could choose some to consciously try out.

Encourage your partner to consider how he or she wants to be loved just as you did. Now it's your turn to listen with an open heart and (perhaps) an adventurous spirit. We do not suggest you express your love in ways that don't feel genuine to you however. As we all know, expressions of love that aren't heartfelt don't feel very loving. Instead, try to stay open to what your partner is wanting and always return to your feelings for him or her.

Come from your heart as you discover what makes you feel loved and as you expand your ways of loving by listening to your partner's desires. This process is all about exploring, sharing and connecting.

Bet you never tried this with your girlfriend!

How To Use Your Girlfriend And Have Her Love You For It
By Mac Mcmann

Gallagher, that icon of the eighties said it best, 'the difference between a male and a female is a male can walk by a shoe store, especially when he has shoes on his feet.' You have my permission to use it at those wonderful upcoming holiday parties; I don't know if you still need Gallagher's permission. But the truth of the matter is, women love to shop, women love to spend money, women love to buy things. I am not sure they like things more than men; in fact I am quite sure men like their possessions more than women, partly because the act of obtaining them is not a religious experience for them, but the possessions men own tend to be more revered. Men also tend to have fewer of them.

Men's homes are less knick-knackery, less cluttered, less homey. Men's homes tend to be stark compared to women's, tend to have better electronics, and perhaps one incredible chair or sofa. Some exercise equipment, and a coffee table. What they lack is stuff like, paintings, candles, pillows that complement the curtains, kitchen tables that weren't salvaged from some garage. Towels that complement anything in the house, and a bed that is meant to be a show piece instead of only for two things, passing out on, and you know what else. To that end men, you should keep it clean, and your room fairly decent. Keep your soiled briefs and tainted socks in a laundry basket, not left in a trail to your pass out zone.

So it occurred to me one hung over morning that a painting above my fireplace would be nice. The living room was let's face it, bland. Not only was it dominated by that ridiculously large TV I had to have for a Super Bowl party four years ago, that was now screaming outdated like a white Chevrolet Suburban, but my girl friend was right I needed some color in here. I liked the Aztec clay that my walls were painted; the trouble is everything else was some shade of brown or other. Even the curtains my honey special ordered from The Pottery Barn. In her defense my walls at that time were going to be painted blue, so everything she brought in was a hue of brown, and the rug I picked out, and the sofa my mother bought were all brown.. It goes unnoticed by me, most of the time, and my girl friend stopped remarking on it after the first seven months or so.

But on this dreary lonely, quiet morning, where even the soulful sounds of Lucinda Williams couldn't comfort the blues I was working up, I decided I needed art. Which meant a day, or a weekend, or a month of weekends, going through galleries being met by shopkeepers that were either pretentious or hovering, looking at one painting after another, until they blurred together like past loves.

I would have to take my girlfriend of course, I didn't always agree with her taste, but she knows my taste even better than I do. And going into a shop without her by my side, would be like letting people know I have moments where I am insecure. Neither of which is ever going to happen. Shopping with my special someone is fun, to a point. When it comes to shopping I just don't have that much stamina, those shop lights just tire my eyes, my head, and my feet. My favorite shops have comfortable chairs in a corner, where I can sit out of the way until my sweetie is ready to move on. She never buys anything with me, and it feels like when I take her to a ball game. The gesture is nice, but the energy to enjoy it just isn't there. Certain activities were created to be enjoyed with your gender. Men have sports and sports, both watching and playing. I would have added drinking, but there are times when drinking with a woman has its definite pay-offs. Women have shopping, eating lunch, going to salons, power walking, and going to the bathroom.

When my girl friend goes shopping with her friends, things are purchased, deals are made, and memories are created. Celebratory desserts and wine consumed, and she comes home pleased with life. Victory has been had. It is as if she took three strokes off her golf score.

So the prospect of getting art on my fireplace was not looking bright. Either giving up weekend after weekend thumbing through art, until succumbing to that hopelessness that would lead me to purchase the very next non-ridiculous thing I saw. Or just sit here in all my UPSness décor.

And then it dawned on me, I can give her my credit card, with the direction on buying something for over my fireplace. She can round up her troops, there is shopping to be had, cars will be filled, plans of attack made, and she has a credit card. They can have desserts, she can sneak on there a pair of shoes, and I get a nice piece of art to complement my living room, my tastes. And the next hung over morning I have, I can admire my wall above my fireplace, and then worry about the throw pillows.

Having problems holding on to your man?

5 Powerful Tips To Ensure Your Man Does Not Cheat On You
By Steve Ubah

Without wasting much time, here they are:

Keep him intellectually stimulated

Men are easily bored by women who lack ideas and are not up to speed on the affairs of the day. In order to hold the interest of your man, you must be able to discuss ideas that will expand his knowledge base. Teach him something he does not know, or share your opinion on a subject you know he is passionate about, and you can be sure he will want to have you around for a long time.

Look your best

Beauty and brains attract men like moths to a flame. If you keep him intellectually stimulated, and you also have the body that excites him, you have a powerful magnet that can keep him hooked on you for as long as you wish. Make sure that you do what you must to look good. Do your hair, nails, put on a little makeup, and whatever you do, stay away from layer and layers of makeup. Get clothes that accentuate the best part of you. Do not wear tight-fitting clothes, if you do not have the shapely body to go with it. Know what fits you and wear it.

If you have not enrolled in a gym, you need to do so right away. It is not enough to just eat the right foods and pop diet pills daily. You must eat a balanced diet and enroll in an exercise regimen to help increase your metabolism. Find a workout partner, or sign up for a personal trainer at your gym who can motivate you and design a workout program to fix your problem areas. You will certainly gain good health along with a positive mental attitude. Remember, when you keep fit and look good, you are not doing it just for your man. You are doing it for yourself as well.

Massage his ego once in while

Let your man know how good he is to you and how much you value him in your life. When your man feels that he is adding value to your life, when he feels appreciated, your are massaging his ego. Now you must be careful not to overdo this; otherwise it loses its impact, and your man may see you as a "brown noser".

Give him his space

Do not monitor how he spends every second of the day. Do not put him on a timer. Treat your man like an adult who has the ability to manage how he wants to spend his time. The more freedom you give him, more trusted he feels. And when your man feels you trust him, he is less apt to go out and cheat on you. Men will run away from you, if you try to cramp their style. If you keep tracking your where your man goes and who he is spending time with, you run the risk of alienating him.

Keep him sexually satisfied

A sexually satisfied man is like a dog that is well fed; you will not find it digging through the garbage. A sexually satisfied man is like an employee that works for a company that gives all employees full medical benefits, a great salary and excellent bonuses. You will not see an employee of such a company looking for a job elsewhere. I have used some analogies to attempt to paint a picture for you, but these scenarios fit the point I am making.

To find out the quickest way to make your man fall madly in love with you, visit http://smartwomansguide.com. You will get proven tips, tricks and techniques you can use to make your love sizzle and make your man fall head over heels in love with you.






Do you always seem to choose the wrong person to fall in love with?

Relationships - How to Choose More Carefully
By Scott Petullo and Stephen Petullo

Many people spend so much time and energy on their love lives, striving for the ideal relationship. While self-love is the only true love in our view, it's understandable why the feeling of being loved and accepted by another is so desirable.

Along the path to finding compatible love, everyone has their share of adverse relationship experiences and some people are fated to have more than others. Although challenging love connections seem to only complicate your life, in time it's easier to see how they've helped you learn and grow.

Sometimes the best path seems to be to go forward with a challenging relationship even if you are aware ahead of time that it could be problematic. Other times a relationship may seem wonderful at first, but then you realize you didn't know the person (or yourself) as well as you thought you did, you end up bringing out the worst in each other, or you simply grow apart.

Our research and work firmly indicate "negative" relationship situations are karmic. Even so, ultimately you do have free will to react to the situations and conditions in your life, and the more in tune with yourself you are, the easier it will be to choose and navigate your relationships with compassion and understanding.

Self-Exploration, and Relationship Traditions

If you avoid self-exploration and solitude at all costs, and you place great importance on relationship traditions, it will be much more difficult for you to avoid the bad apples and emotionally, physically, mentally, financially and, or psychically draining relationships. A fear of being alone and an avoidance of self-analysis will cause you to overlook obvious signs and become involved with or remain with people who, all things considered, work against you.

As discerned through astrological and numerological comprehensive charting methods, handwriting analysis, and psychic insight, some people are born much more relationship oriented, with scarce emotional independence (or are even prone to codependence). Hence, situations involving unhealthy relationships decisively manifest as part of their predestined path. Though even in these cases, they have the option of using free will to make the most of it all.

If you fit into this category, one possible remedy to help limit toxic relationships is having goals that supersede "The One" ideal. School, career, your children, fitness, volunteering, hobbies, or other such things on which to focus your time and energy could help you make better decisions in your love life by helping you to detach and view it all from a higher perspective. At the same time, we've found that people will do as they are fated to do time and time again, but at least awareness can assuage dilemmas and you can work within your destined framework for more desirable effects.

Knowing Thyself and Meditation

If you are one of the few who know themselves very well on levels other than conscious understanding, or meditate regularly to the point of consistently experiencing divine insights, you'll be able to perceive quite a bit about potential matches before getting involved with them. This will also give you a head start in how you approach and respond to people and situations in your life, allowing you to use your f.ree will more constructively.

For example, after meeting a new relationship, friendship, or employment possibility, you'll be able to more easily pause, step back, contemplate the situation, and consider if it's worth the time and energy and if it would be supportive of your goals. But maybe you're also wise enough to know that one's heart can interfere with decision-making.

Metaphysical Tools, Advisors, and Eremites

If you consult with a metaphysical advisor or even actively apply tools such as astrology, numerology, handwriting analysis, or tarot, or work with dream analysis, for example, you may know quite a bit about potential matches even before you meet them. Higher than average psychic abilities can also allow you to perceive the "good" and "bad," or at least what you need to know, about people and situations ahead of time. Unfortunately, this may often cause you to be forced to decide between the complexities of the connection and being alone, and remaining single may seem like the better choice more often than not.

This dynamic could partially explain why "wise women," "old sages," and other mystically inclined individuals are often depicted as living alone, such as in the forest or on a mountain top; they see beyond the surface, detect the spiritual reasons at the start, and opting out might seem more appealing. Of course, they may also be alone because they enjoy it, their collective natal and timing indications symbolically choose this for them, they are simply taking a break between relationships, or they have so many friends (guides, spirits, etc.) in the unseen dimensions that taking on ones in the here and now may seem unnecessary or pose too much of a burden.

There will always be "good" and "bad" apples in the barrel of your love life and in the rest of your life. Expanding your awareness will help guide you to make smarter choices, and when the only option is a connection that lacks a reasonable level of compatibility, use your f.ree will to accept where you are and navigate to a better place. Although due to your personal fate, you may not be able to manifest more desirable circumstances right away, but eventually you'll be able to make the best of even the most trying times.

Still trying to get over the loss of your girlfriend?

Recovery From Being Dumped By a Woman - 10 Quick Tips
By Chase Brooks


Being dumped by your girlfriend can be a very stressful thing. Sometimes you'll be over it in 5 minutes. Other times it'll feel like you're about to die. This article is for any guys having problems dealing with it.

Getting over it is by no means easy, but you can definitely reduce the blow and make the recovery smoother and less painful.


Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind - Every time you look at a picture of her, read her love letters or see anything else that reminds you of her you're going to rip open old wounds. You'll know you're over her when you can look at her photos and not feel the despair and sadness you may feel now. But until then, take it all away and either get rid of it or put it somewhere hidden.


Take a Walk - Every day for 20 or 30 minutes. The exercise will put some energy into you that you may be lacking. The fresh air will make you feel great and you'll have an easier time piecing everything together.


Get a Haircut - Find the coolest haircut that'll suit you and get it done. Better yet, get a whole new look. Not only will you feel more attractive, you'll reverse the self-confidence damage from being dumped.


Inspire Yourself - Remember that old book that always made you feel energized and inspired after reading it? Or was it a movie? Whatever it was, get it out and watch it/read it whenever you feel down.


Sweat It Out - A great way to get over being dumped is to start a new work-out plan. Exercise regularly. Do cardio once a day. The chemicals your body releases after an intense workout will relax you and you'll feel great. BONUS: Although they don't like to admit it, a toned and refined body is very sexy to women. Use this newly acquired power to your advantage.


Keep Busy - Is there anything you've always wanted to learn, but never did? Maybe a new language? Street magic? A new sport? A new musical instrument? Whatever it is, now is the best time to start. You've got no excuse! If there's no local clubs, you can learn just about anything online. By setting goals within your new hobby and working towards them whenever you have free time, you'll find yourself worrying about your ex less and improving yourself instead.


A New Companion - This'll make some of you guys cringe, but getting a new pet is an idea. It'll keep you occupied and busy. If it's a dog, you can spend time teaching it new tricks. If you're after a new woman, dogs (especially puppies) are irresistible to most girls and make great conversation starters.


Go Wild - Throw a party. Get all your friends together and go crazy. Doing this every now and then will do you a lot of good, but don't get addicted. You want to surround yourself with your friends as much as possible when you're feeling down about a relationship.


Don't Be A Wuss - Crying is okay. Constantly calling your ex and pestering her about getting back with you is not. Not only will she start to detest you, you're going to damage your self-esteem. No one likes a needy guy. If you want any chance at getting back with her, try changing yourself and not her. If she sees you in a new light maybe she'll regret her decision to dump you. I've managed this before, so it's definitely possible.


Say "Yes" - Someone offering you lunch? Say yes. Buddy wants to take you paint balling? Say yes. Friends want to meet up and go clubbing? Say yes. Keep your life busy and exciting.

Getting over a break-up is never easy. But there are good ways and bad ways to deal with it. I've experienced both, so however you feel right now I'm sure I've been there. Good luck, I wish you all the best!

Chase focuses on writing articles dealing with the stress related to break-ups and provides tips and advice on how to become happy again.

How To Find Your Online Soul Mate?

How To Find Your Online Soul Mate?
By Amatista Luna


Internet has meant the beginning of a new way of life for many people. A few years ago nobody would have thought that would be one of the most popular ways to meet people. After all, you need to leave the house to meet people, so how could online dating really work?

The reason is people have increasingly busy lives, making it hard to meet people, though the rage can also be blamed on the integration of technology into our daily lives. Whatever the reasons, online dating is a great way to meet people, you can meet the real love match if you follow a few online dating tips that are so easy and straightforward and anyone can follow them.

The main thing to keep in mind is that online dating is just like dating in the real world. It´s a numbers game, and the more people you contact, the better your chances of meeting that special someone.

• Having a good online dating profile.

Think of your online dating profile as a snapshot of your life. You may find it useful to grab a pen and paper and jot down some ideas on what to include before filling in the profile on screen Your online dating profile has to be appealing, but it also has to be accurate. Make sure you include some of your likes and dislikes, but keep it positive throughout. No one likes anyone who constantly complains! It´s worth remembering that a vital aspect of who you are is your outlook on life, try to provide a taste of who you are and what you stand for as a person. Remember to keep your profile short, and make sure you show some wit!

• Subscribe to a dating site

To increase your chances of meeting someone is to pay the subscription price, at least for a few months or look for a free site. When you subscribe, you are free to contact other members so that a dialogue can get started. It´s ok if you don´t pay at first, just to feel the site out, but if you don´t pay, it may lower your chances of a love match.

• Contact as many people as you can

Be realistic! not everyone is going to look like a supermodel or fit into a cookie cutter description. Give all people a chance and you will increase your chances at love. You don´t have to lower your standards and go meeting anyone who is in the site, just make sure you´re not discarding people who might actually be a good match.

• Never talk bad about yourself

Never! Never put yourself down and tell the person they probably won´t like you because.... This is very unattractive to a potential mate. People are going to be interested in you if they feel you´re happy, confident and secure with who you are. After a time you can say what you don´t like about yourself, if you get into a relationship. Until then, be mysterious and you will find many potential mates who want to know more about you, plant curiosity and collect.

• Make time for your online dating relationship.

Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? And do you do the same? Do you take online dating for granted? Neglecting (or not prioritizing) virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other's time with respect. If you are trying to find love online the least you can do is being serious about it.

Online dating is a great way to meet people; you have a tank full of profiles from which to choose. You get to know people on the inside before you get to know them physical and this way you will go to the certain. Just make sure you keep it realistic, be yourself and remember to have confidence in everything you do. So there you go this tips will take you close to meet your online soul mate.

What to Do When a Jealous Person Engages in Questionable Behavior

What to Do When a Jealous Person Engages in Questionable Behavior
By Lance W.


We have all known people who were jealous and exhibited jealous behavior, it is very unfortunate and totally disruptive. I hope you are not a jealous person and are going to hunt me down for writing this article? But, if you do, I know how to handle crazy people like you - just kidding.

Look, if you are the jealous type, or know some who is, then you need to do a little research on where this is coming from and how to mitigate its unfortunate affects on family, relationships and friends. Let me recommend a very good and interesting book to you on this subject:

"Jealousy" edited by Gordon Clanton and Lynn G. Smith - 1986

This book is a compilation of some of the best short works on the subject of Jealousy and if you ever meet anyone who is jealous to the point of rage or uncontrollable, then you will be so happy to own a copy of this book to understand what is going on. The first chapter is a story of the confessions of a jealous wife and also in the first section is an interesting peace on sexual jealousy. The second section has a chapter on the jealousy of children, which is quite relevant for parenting or understanding youth.

Part III is interesting and it is about the over all problems that are innate in humans and how jealousy impacts our culture, how it is used against consumers and how it hurts marriages. The Fourth Section discusses the reality of attempting to manage jealousy and its irrational and destructive nature. There is a whole chapter on "techniques for intervention" which is well worth reading.

I recommend this book for any man who is having problems with a jealous woman or several of them. It is good reading and relevant to all in society to understand how to deal with jealousy tendencies in our culture.

My name is Lance Winslow and I am a semi-retired entrepreneur, retired Franchisor and now I am a consultant brain-4-hire, internet writer and author. I got bored in retirement so I founded the Online Think Tank - http://www.worldthinktank.net If you would like to send me an email just to say hi, discuss an article, send me hate mail or need some advice you can find me at; http://www.carwashguys.com/history/founder.html Have a great day and thanks for reading - tell me about you?

Cunnilingus - Tips to Help Your Woman Achieve Mind-Blowing Orgasms

Cunnilingus - Tips to Help Your Woman Achieve Mind-Blowing Orgasms
By Susan Johnsson


Cunnilingus is a popular method for helping most women achieve orgasms with little difficulty. Here is a cunnilingus exercise, technique and position that you can use in order to give your woman mind-blowing orgasms;

The Envelope Lick

The vagina is an extremely sensitive area. This is due to the majority of the nerve endings that are located in the outer regions in the vagina. The nerve concentrations in the deeper areas are sparser. The clitoris and labial lips are especially sensitive to touch.

For this technique, the focus is on the labial lips. Here the man will use his tongue to stimulate the inner and outer lips in slow, deliberate motions, as if licking an envelope. Either the tip of the tongue or a flat tongue can be used, as these will provide very different sensations.

Cunnilingus Exercise

This exercise is designed to strengthen and improve the dexterity of the tongue.

Start by sticking your tongue out as far as you can. Now curl your tongue upwards and try to touch the tip of your nose with the tip of your tongue and hold it there for 10 seconds. Now swirl your tongue around in a clockwise direction always meeting back up with the nose. Repeat this 10 times, and then reverse the direction of the swirl, repeating it ten times as well.

When swirling the tongue, try move it as far as you can in the different directions.

Through the Gateway

Here the female lays on her side with a pillow placed under her arm for support. One leg is lifted so the male can come in from behind. He wraps one arm around her lifted leg, and the other arm under the flat leg. The male then moves into the vagina, once again licking in an upward movement while the arms can freely explore the rest of the female's body. The female has a clear view of the action, which in itself is extremely exciting.

Kama Sutra Orgasms - Best Positions to Give Her Orgasms Ecstasy

Kama Sutra Orgasms - Best Positions to Give Her Orgasms Ecstasy
By Crid Lee

Every man will want to get their partners to achieve orgasms while making love. When she does not reach orgasm during lovemaking, you will feel down and lousy. But with the help of the Kama Sutra, you will be able to discover some of the classic positions that will definitely send the both of you to climax.

1. The Doggy Position. This is a classic and highly stimulating position for couples to enjoy during lovemaking. The woman will go down on all fours, taking her weights on her forearms. The man will kneel behind her and penetrate her from the back. The position is very pleasurable for both partners as the deep penetration will not only stimulate the vaginal walls, but also the g-spot. However, some women may feel demeaning if asked to adopt this position. Therefore it will be wise for you to communicate with your partner beforehand and make sure that she is ok with it.

2. The Clip Position. This position will be very relaxing for the man as the woman will do most of the work here. The man lies down with both his legs outstretched. She will sit astride him and lean back, so that he can play with her clitoris while she is rocking. The man will have an ideal view of his partner making love to him, which will definitely turn him on greatly.

3. The Lotus Position. This is an extremely intimate and passionate position which I will strongly encourage you to try it out with your partner. The man sits with both his legs crossed on the bed. The woman will sit on him with both her legs wrapping around his waist. He will then help her to move her hips with his hands and can also caress her breasts with his mouth and stroke her buttock. Once the man has ejaculated, the couple should stay in this position and embrace each other at least for a few minutes, so as to enjoy the passionate, satisfying, intimate moment.

These 3 positions that I have shared with you are consider the best in the Kama Sutra manual according to my opinion. You may not feel the same. Do read up the Kama Sutra manual and discover the ideal position for you and your partner.

So He Wants Sex, But She Wants Romance - It's A Dilemma That An Exchange Of Gifts Might Solve

So He Wants Sex, But She Wants Romance - It's A Dilemma That An Exchange Of Gifts Might Solve
By Peter Crump


It's the age old conundrum. He's interested in sex, and she's interested in romance. It's difficult to strike a balance, and it's often the cause of stress in relationships.

From my perspective as a non expert in this area I think it's true. There is a fundamental mismatch between what men want and what women want from their personal relationships.

It's a shame it's this way. You can't blame men, that's how they are. It's how they're wired.

And equally you can't blame women, it's how they are. It's how they're wired.

Of course that's not to say that men don't like romance, or that women don't like sex, but when it comes down to it I think it's clear that men look for more sex from their relationships, and women look for more romance.

We can of course see this as a major problem in relationships. A stress point in relationships. A burden, a cause of friction and a cause of distress.

However I think we ought to look at it differently. If this is just how it is why not see it as an opportunity to celebrate our differences and accept them. Accept, if I'm a man, that she wants romance more than I.

Accept, if I'm a woman, that he wants sex more than I.

And do something about it, use it as a fulcrum to improve our relationships, not to allow it to destabilize them.

I write about gifts for men. I'm not a relationship expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. However I look at this from the point of view of gift giving.

I see an opportunity for gift giving to become a part of our relationships. That gift giving can celebrate this particular difference between men and women, and help to bridge the gap.

How? Just like this. A couple need to talk about their likes and dislikes in the relationship. There will be many of course, but I'm just talking about this particular one. And if he is more interested in sex, and she in romance, they need to recognise this. Then they need a strategy to overcome it, and make it a strength in the relationship.

In my view they can do this by gift giving.

So she accepts that he loves sex. She accepts that if the relationship is to run as smoothly as she would like she ought to pander to this a bit. By giving him some nice sexy gifts from time to time. Sexy gifts a man would love.

I won't go into details, I talk more about this on my site, but I'm not talking porn movies or anything like that, just some small and sexy ideas that any man would more than love.

Equally, and just as importantly, he needs to accept that even if it's not so important to him, she loves romance, and long walks, and flowers, and so on.

And he needs to pander to this. To bring gifts to the relationship that she will enjoy. Romantic gifts that he may not normally have thought of.

He needs to put in the effort to bring more romantic gifts to the relationship, and she needs to put in the effort to bring more sexy gifts to the relationship.

And in this way, in my view, it will become stronger for both, and they may even find that the romantic gifts and sexy gifts bring it all together so that the entire relationship grows and becomes more fulfilling for both. That their sex life improves and their romance life improves.

And then the fundamental conundrum has become a positive, and has strengthened the relationship for them both.

Dating and Relationship Advice - How to Keep Your Romance Alive and Well

Dating and Relationship Advice - How to Keep Your Romance Alive and Well
By Bj Moorer


If you have managed to weather the storms of life and still remain in a long-term relationship – Congratulations! Well done! Hopefully, you and your partner enjoy good communication, closeness, compatibility and the comfort of each other. You are familiar with each other and may often find one can start a sentence and the other can finish it. You flow well together.

You may be thinking, yes we did make it. Ok snap out of it. You still have work to do! Yes work! You have accomplished much but you have more work to do. Both of you must work to keep your relationship going in the right direction.

Here are five things you can work on beginning now:

1. Consider your love a privilege. Never take your partner for granted.

2. Have interests that are separate from your partner as well as doing things together. It is important that you find many things you enjoy together, and then continue to do them together. But, there should be things of interest you pursue on your own. If you play volleyball with your friends on Thursdays, continue doing that. If the two of you love to eat Seafood on Friday nights, keep that up as well. It is just as important that you have one or two hobbies you do by yourself, just to make sure that your individual needs are being met.

3. Take time to explore new things together. What have you two talked about but never got around to doing? Is it travel? A new sport? If you love to travel and play tennis, start doing just that. You could take day trips to different places to play tennis. Mix both activities together. You may want to take some classes together. Think of cooking or even ballroom dancing (Yes, that is one hot off my personal list).

4. Have conversations like you used to. Do you recall when you listened to everything your partner said? You know, hanging on their every word? If you find yourself having conversations while watching TV or half sentences over dinner, stop! Really listen and tune into your partner. This one change can make all the difference in the world.

5. Work on You. Yes you! Whatever extra things you did when you first fell in love, pick them up and start doing them again. I am not talking about wearing those old disco platform shoes. Keep those if you must only for old times sake. Take inventory and see if there are areas you can improve yourself. If there are, begin to make changes. Small changes will have big payoffs if continued.

The idea here is to broaden your horizons. Think of things you both like to do as well as things you would enjoy solo. Get busy working on keeping your relationship fresh.

Here is a Method That is Helping You Recover and Rebuild a Relationship After an Affair

Here is a Method That is Helping You Recover and Rebuild a Relationship After an Affair
By David W Richards


It must hurt so bad to be cheated by the one you love. A spouse, a lover. Some decide to cut the relation off. They file for a divorce. But, there are some who don’t want to end the relationship. They forgive the cheater.

People ask, ‘How can you forgive that easily?’, ‘What if it happens again?’

Those people asking have their reasons. How would you open your heart to someone who has betrayed your trust?

Is it possible?

It is possible for some people. It might be hard for you to imagine. But, there are many who could do it.

If you plan to keep your marriage, try these tips below:

• Make sure that the affair is really over

Ask your spouse to prove it. If it is not over yet, you’d better reconsider your decision to keep the relationship. However, if the evidences are certain, don’t try to look for more unnecessary proves. Your curiosity might lead to inaccurate facts.

• Find out the cause

There must be a cause. It could be the communication that has run dry, or sexual issue, or lack of appreciations. Discus it. Then, get a solution to that.

• Forgive and Forget

It is easy to say but it is the only way to succeed. Learn to forgive. Free your heart from revulsion. Clean it up. Empty it so that you can fill it in with a new chapter. And now, about your mind. Try to self-brain-wash. Discard any memory that might lead you back to the past related to the affair. This has also to be done by the cheating spouse.

• Rebuild Your Self-Esteem

Normally, after facing an affair done by your spouse, you would be lack of self-esteem. Being betrayed can do great damage to the way you feel about and look at yourself. But, remember that an affair does not change the fact that you are a wonderful person. You are still as beautiful, desirable, and intelligent as ever. This is important for a new start.

• Start it all over again

Create a new happier life together.

What to do when your spose says I don't Love You

Why Second Marriages Are More Likely to Fail - Second Marriage Pitfall #4

Why Second Marriages Are More Likely to Fail - Second Marriage Pitfall #4
By Richard Nicastro


“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Right? The same age-old wisdom that encourages so many of us to get back on our bikes (or horses or surfboards) over and over again in search of perfection should work like a charm when it comes to marriage, too. Shouldn’t it? Yet many people are surprised to find out that second marriages are more likely to end in divorce. Irving, a fifty-four-year old real estate broker from Austin, Texas said, “You’d think the second time around would be easier, that I’d be better prepared. Being divorced once was hard enough. I never thought it would happen all over again.”

When first marriages fail, many people feel that time, precious time, has been wasted and an opportunity for ever-lasting happiness has been lost. After all, wasn’t the desire for happiness why you decided to marry in the first place?

Understandably, the painful experience of divorce can change your attitude about marriage. It changed Irving’s. The ten years he dedicated to his first marriage now felt like years that could never be reclaimed. His altered mindset negatively shaped his second marriage: “It happened once and it could happen again. I’m not going to waste another ten years waiting to find out this time.”

Since his first divorce, Irving became overly aware of his age and the passage of time. While his second marriage proceeded smoothly, time wasn’t an issue. He enjoyed the worry-free days with his new wife and felt stable, secure and relaxed. But when he and his partner fought (like all couples do), his perspective shifted dramatically. Each argument left him wondering about the number of “good years” he’d have left to meet a new companion. He’d think, “I’d rather end it now and begin looking for someone else sooner rather than later. Why wait until I’m sixty-five?”

Irving struggled with a mindset many people bring to their second marriages:

Pitfall #4: “Are you the one? I need to know before it’s too late!”

Despite that pressured attitude, Irving entered his second marriage determined to make it work. Unfortunately, he also entered his second marriage with a focus on an escape-hatch he had ready and waiting—after all, the clock was ticking. This mindset had a powerful effect and decreased his level of commitment, especially when he and his second wife encountered the usual bumps in the road.

Look for and challenge this mindset

Ask yourself the following questions:

Does the following statement resonate for you?: “I’m not going to waste time the second time around to find out this isn’t working.”

What are the benefits of such a mindset? What are the pitfalls?

When is this mindset most prominent in your second (or third) marriage?

What impact does this have on your level of commitment? On your ability to work out differences with your spouse?

As with overcoming any potentially destructive attitude, awareness is key. A little self-examination can go a long way in helping you overcome the pitfalls of the “hurry up and fail, or hurry up and succeed” trap.

Is your relationship worth protecting? Are you ready to make your marriage everything it can be?

How To Know If He's The One For You

How To Know If He's The One For You
By Lucy Doyle


Marriage and commitment is about love, but it's also about compatibility. Two people can be deeply in love with one another, but their marriage will still fail miserably. The sad truth is that sometimes love is not enough. There comes a time when you ask yourself the ultimate question: Is he the one?

Why it's important to ask yourself this question?

The dismal statistics state that over 33% of marriages end up in divorce and there is a 50% infidelity rate among couples. Why is this happening? All these couples used to be in love, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten married. That's why you have to ask yourself this question. If you don't want to get married only to wake up years later and realize that you married the wrong man, you have to know that he's the right one for you. Otherwise, you may have a few years of love and happiness, but you're likely to see those years end in a bitter and expensive divorce.

Why are so many couples drifting apart?

The main thing that couples fail to do is ask each other the right questions before rushing into a commitment. I'm not talking about superficial questions such as how many brothers and sisters your man has or where was he born, but deep and penetrating questions. Most women wait until they are married to find out what their man thinks about the important issue in life such as:


Religion
The way to bring up children
Whether or not he even wants children
Does he believe in marriage
How he handles money
What are his long term goals
And many more important issues. It is the difference of opinion in these issues which causes couples to break up.

You wondering how to know if he is the one for you? Ask the right questions on the important issues and you'll find out.

It is estimated that 83% of divorces wouldn't have occurred had the couples asked each other the right questions. Don't allow yourself to become part of the many couples which end up in divorce and breakups. You have an obligation to yourself to ask your man the right questions.
