How to Spot Genuine Signs of Female Attraction

By katie George

Determining whether or not a woman is attracted to you can be a challenge. In fact, sometimes you may feel like you're solving a mystery. So, how can you know when she is attracted to you?

Well, studying a women's body language is one of the bet ways to figure out female attraction. Keep in mind, though, that body language does not always provide the entire story. For example, a woman's body language may suggest that she is interested in you, but it often will not tell you if she is available or not.

Here's why...

Many women with boyfriends display the same signs body language that single women do, much of which suggests an attraction. Such signs might be direct and maintained eye contact, playing with her hair or smiling at you.

The problem is that men are conditioned to respond to such body language signs indicating female attraction. Hence, it can become quite frustrating when an unavailable woman displays these signs because we have wasted time that could have been applied to women who are available.

Why do unavailable women still display these signs toward other men? I will not get into that here, as that would be an entirely separate article. But, what you need to know at this point is that it happens and can cause significant frustration to you when you are genuinely trying to meet a nice, available woman.

I bring you good news, though. There is some body language can only available women use. So, you are trying to meet women, specifically look for the following signs of attraction, among the others:

* "Blushing" somewhat when you look at her directly

* Trying to get you to notice or look at her

* Keeping a slight "isolation" from her friends in an attempt to get you to approach her

* Turning her body towards you

* Showing the inside of her palms and hands to you.

* Finding a reason to keep in close proximity to you

Distinguishing between the different signs of attraction and the variety of body of language women can portray is very important. It can save you a lot of frustration, time and wasted energy.

If you can learn to identify the genuine signs of female attraction, you'll be able to spend your time on available women who really do want to get to know you. Then it'll be easy to increase your overall dating success! - 15784

A Guide for Men on Buying Jewelery for Women

By Blue Lily

The fact is that we're guys and guys don't always know exactly what women want for jewelry. The good news is that thousands of guys figure it out and survive the jewelry purchasing ordeal daily. To get it right, you'll need to plan ahead. You can't wait until the day before.

The variety of options will make your head spin. There are earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and many different categories of each. As for metals, your choices include silver, platinum, yellow gold, white gold and more. Let's talk gems for a second. Anytime you have a choice, pick a small authentic gem over a large fake one. Have doubts? Ask a woman.

To figure out what she wants, listen when she talks about jewelry. Some women like to drop hints. Think about her personality and lifestyle. If she's conservative, she might like simple, classic jewelry. Does she enjoy handmade or artisan items? Consider something unique and handcrafted made with fine materials. Does she line frills and lace? You get the idea. Do any of these styles show up in her jewelry box?

The quickest way to determine her sizes is to friends and family. Another option is to measure the pieces in her jewelry box. If none of those options work, consider taking some of her jewelry pieces to the jewelry store so they can size them for you.

To figure out how much to spend, look at the occasion from her point of view. A first anniversary is very important. The 5th, 10th, 25th, 30th, are also important occasions. On these milestones, consider a nice piece of jewelry that conveys the importance of the occasion.

Bring yourself up to speed before you're ready to purchase anything. Do your homework online. The knowledge you gain will help make the shopping experience a lot more comfortable. The goal is to make a thoughtful, personal purchase. You certainly don't need a piece of jewelry that turns her finger green. The bottom line is: Learn about jewelry quality. It will save you some grief in the long term.

Shopping doesn't come naturally to many guys. We often avoid it. There's a saying: women shop, men buy. But you'll have to do at a little shopping this time to find the right gift. If you've done your homework, you'll be fine. Visit several jewelry stores and compare value and quality, not just price. Buy from an established company.

How should you present the gift? Will it be in a romantic setting? How about as an unexpected surprise? You want her to remember it for a long time, so be original. - 15784

Get Your Love Back With 5 Proven Tips

By Millard Scott

Just about everyone has been through a break up in their life at some point. Many things in life become easier, the more you do them, but break ups never get any easier to endure.

A lot of people will desire to get back their ex, especially if there were strong feelings, or love in the relationship. If you were exposed to physical or verbal abuse in a relationship, then you would be better off to let it end and not seek to get back with that person again. To go back into a situation like that would just invite the same treatment all over again. Consider yourself lucky to be out of the relationship.

The Majority of relationships seem to follow a predictable pattern. When you first meet, everything seems to be so wonderful and new. It seems that your love can do nothing wrong, nor can you in their eyes. Later on a certain amount of comfort settles in and you adjust to each other. This is when the troubles usually starts. When the freshness of the relationship has faded and the comfort is still there, then things will start to change. The little things that used to not bother you now become harder for you to overlook.

Remember the saying: "Familiarity breeds contempt." Truer words could never be spoken for relationships. After a couple gets comfortable and familiar with each other, the trouble usually follows. This is the thing that tests the strength of a relationship. It takes some effort and work to keep a relationship going. Sometimes when things go wrong, instead of fixing things up, the other person wants to get out of the relationship completely.

If you have just went through a break up in a relationship and you think that it is worth as effort to save it, here are 5 tips that can be of help.

1. Make an apology

If you are at fault in any way, then you should go ahead and apologize, but don't over do it. Just make your apology once and then move on.

Sometimes admitting fault can lead to another argument with your ex. Don't let them bait you into another fight. If your ex happens to bring something else up, just keep your cool and try not to get defensive. Keep your emotions in check.

2.Talk things over

Take some time to sit down with your ex and have a good talk with them. Avoid getting emotional when you are having the discussion. If your ex does not want to do this, just move on to the next step. If they do agree with this, just make sure that you stay calm and do not get emotional. Be sure your ex knows that the purpose of the discussion is not to level any blame against them.

3. Give some space to your ex

This will likely not be easy to do because it is counter intuitive to what your emotions may dictate you to do. It is critical that you allow your partner some space and a brief time away to collect their thoughts. This will give them a chance to start to miss you again. If you are constantly in contact with them they will not have the chance to miss you and appreciate you.

4. Show your ex you care about yourself

Don't just sit around home looking and feeling sorry for yourself. Show your ex that the break up is not the end of your life. Keep up your appearance, go out with your friends, go to movies, concerts, or whatever. Do things that demonstrate to your ex that you are not just waiting around for them like a knot on a log. Don't ever give the appearance of being a charity case waiting around for them all the time.

5. Don't be always available to your ex.

It is best to not be there sometimes when your ex calls. It will make them think about you and wonder what you are up to. Don't jump all over the cell phone when your ex calls. Let it go to the voice mail and then call them back the next day. Make it appear that you are busy and not jumping out of your shoes whenever you see their number show up on your phone. This is a counterintuitive, psychological tactic, but it can do wonders to make you look more attractive to your ex. This will increase the chance of you getting your ex back. - 15784

Be your best

It's always good to prepare a few topics before going out on a date. But do not over-rehearse what you are going to say. Most men who fail in the dating game are the one's who forget what to say.

Listen to what she says- Do not be a chatter box. Show active interest in what she has to say as well. Paying attention gives her the impression that you are interested in her & would like to continue dating.

10 Dating Tips For Guys

By katie George

Dating has been observed lately as more relaxed and informal. As a part of the male species, this is a sign that dating has opened its doors for you. Now, dating would be less difficult to do. To make thing easier for you, here are the 10 Dating tips for guys. Read on.

1. Try to look your best

Remember that a date, especially the first date, is the time for fist impressions, which they say, will last forever. Try to achieve a cool, confident look by knowing what to wear. The casual look is the first choice of many, but it really depends on the clothes that you are comfortable wearing. Be it a t-shirt, polo or jacket, what matters most is the fact that it is ironed and not wrinkly, has zero dirt stains and looks perfectly good on you. Now that you have an idea on what to wear, let's go to the scent.

According to dating experts, a guy's smell will either increase your points or turn-off a girl. Be it a cologne or perfume; make sure to spray on the right amount and at the right places! Spray a moderate amount on the sides of your necks, wrist and chest. Brush your teeth, style your hair (or get a descent haircut), bring a handkerchief (especially when you're eating out), cut your nails and check your face in the mirror. Now, you're ready to go!

2. Be on time

Patience may be a virtue, but being late is rude and a sign of being uninterested. Have a list of "things to do" to be aware of time. If the girl is late, try telling her to make up for it by buying you a drink, bit in a teasing and gentle voice.

3. Find the best place

You and your date should agree where to go beforehand. As an alpha male take control and have a plan where to meet. Suggest a coffee shop, the fair or even a local eatery that is cheap but serves good food. If it seems that the two of you have different ideas, try to compromise. Let her decide and the next date will be yours. Just remember to find a place where the two of will be comfortable while having fun at the same time.

4. Mind your manners

All the things that your mom taught you about etiquettes are helpful during a date. Show her that you are a gentleman by opening the door car, pulling a chair for her to sit down. Use your utensils properly and eat with grace. Believe me; all of these will matter to her.

5. Make sure you can spit good game

Nobody likes a boring date, so make an effort to communicate with her. Remember that you are not here to impress her, but to get to know each other. Ask her questions and let her ask you the same things. Say the right thing at the right place. If it's your first date, then try avoiding topics like your ex, her ex, politics and other embarrassing questions.

6. Be spontaneous

The best dating tip for guys that I can give is to be spontaneous. Don't be too conscious and keep thinking about what will happen next. Stop asking yourself if she's having fun.

Be laid back and most of all be relaxed. Everything will fall into places, as long as the two of you are having fun.

7. The payment method

Usually, the men pay the bill. But there are always instances where girls prefer to shoulder the expense. On a first date never take her to the fine restaurant and spend gobs of cash. A cup of coffee and a cheap lunch is the way to go. When the bill comes just say, "Don't worry I got it's no big deal". You only take your girlfriend to a nice restaurant and even then only take her once and awhile.

8. Make the Best of your date

Every date should be memorable, so try to make the best out of it. How to do it depends on you and your girl. Make her feel special, as it will guarantee a follow-up date.

9. The Kissing game

Now, here's the most asked dating tip for guys, should I kiss my date? The answer still lays on you, my friend. You must look for some signals she may be transmitting such as; she's looking at you with an intense gaze, she licks her lips while looking at you, she laughs as everything you say, or she does the hair toss. These are all signs she is interested and a kiss is right around the corner.

10. The Phone Call

There are some rules that say you should wait two days. There is nothing wrong in calling her the following day but don't make a big deal out of it. As a confident man you move through life at your pace. As far as what to talk about simply pick up from the last conversation you had with her the day before so it's still fresh in her mind. - 15784

3 Easy Ways To Attract Love Like A Magnet

By Mary Bush

If you are still single and yearning for that someone special to come into your life, to share your life, and to share all the laughter and joy of being together, there is something you could do to attract your true love like a magnet!

(1)You must believe you are able to attract true love.

This is important! In order to attract your true love, not just any type of lovers, to come into your life, you have to believe you are able to attract the right person into your life. True love comes to you not because of chance. Instead, it comes to you because of who you are. It comes 'through' you, it does not come to you. You attract the people in your life because of who you are. If you are someone who is always cheery, generous, kind, and hardworking, then it is very likely you will attract people who have one or more of your positive attributes. Whoever you attract into your lives is a reflection of who you are at that moment. Thus if you are someone who is always doubtful of your own ability and capability to meet the right person, then it is very likely you will attract the wrong person into your life!

(2)Love others who come into your life at this moment.

Being loving to others is perfect love, not just wanting love. Open up your heart and give your love to others as well while you are waiting for your someone special to enter your life. When you open up and give more love, more love will return and be given you too. This is the law of give and receive. When you go outside and socialize, do not go with the intention of only wanting to find love, or to find your Mr/Mrs Right. Instead, take an interest in all those that you encounter, be aware of their welfare and needs as well. If you start to take an interest in other people's welfare and needs instead of only your own, more people will be attracted to you. So, detach yourself from the feeling that you want to find that someone special. The right person will definitely come to you one day and be attracted to you because of who you are. He or she might must be around in a corner thinking : "Hey, I want to get to know this person who has so much magnetism and optimism. How can I approach him/her?"

(3)Expect less from other people and give more instead.

As you give more and more love to others, be careful not to become too much focused on your own wants and needs. In wanting or expecting to experience the love we want, we suffer. We crave, and we cling to what we do not have and we even refuse to let go what we have clung to. Your giving should not come with any conditions. Instead, the love you give should want less and less. As your love wants less and less, ironically you will find more love coming your way, even without you asking for it.

Give true love, so that it opens up and embrace the world. Very soon, you will find that someone special entering your life. It is not by chance that this person has entered your life, but you have cultivated the 'seeds' to bring him/her to you, not just any type of person, but the right and true one for you. And after he/she has entered your life, continue to cultivate even more 'seeds' of love for everyone around you, and you will find that you can easily create the 'magical' relationship that you desire effortlessly. - 15784

4 Steps for a Good Relationship

By katie George

We live in a very mathematical world. I know it doesn't seem that way but science has shown us even the most random things in the world, like growing leaves, have distinct patterns that, although unique, follow very specific steps to get where they are. Those who look for the steps in any process will find them and benefit greatly from the search. It is a foolish mistake to imagine there are no steps to be taken when it comes to matters of the heart, although many would like to believe it's just sort of natural.

Forming a beautiful relationship is more than just falling in love with someone you find attractive. Taking your time to understand the character traits and history of the person who is your current crush will give you much needed insight into your potential future. Therefore the first good step for a good relationship is to learn as much as you can about the person you wish to love.

1. Investigate your future partner

Everyone has flaws. Some flaws can be deadly to a long-term happy relationship while other flaws are rather innocuous. For some people one kind of flaw may pose no problem whatsoever and not even be thought of as a flaw. Some individuals, for instance, are very chatty. For certain people who need their space to be very quiet, a chatty partner would make their life a living hell. But for others a chatty person may be just what they need to fill a quiet void.

2. Be honest about your compatibilities and incompatibilities

More often than not marriages that end do so because both partners became over-familiar and stopped behaving in a gentlemanly or ladylike manner. The temptation to test your partner's love by behaving poorly is not unusual. Some individuals figure they should be loved enough so that they can be "themselves." They somehow think immature and rude behavior should be acceptable to someone who loves them. Perhaps they're thinking back to when they were little children and their parents thought they were cute regardless of how they behaved. This foolish thinking is the perfect way to destroy an otherwise harmonious and loving relationship. Use your wisdom and discrimination before you act,or say something that will hurt your partner or offend them. Just because you don't act out whatever is going on in your mind at the moment doesn't mean you're not being yourself; you are just choosing to be your nice self. It is not phony to control yourself but it is destructive to not do so.

3. Constantly remind yourself to behave with love and consideration

Most people get into a relationship out of need, and there is nothing wrong with that. We must take care of ourselves and it is not unusual to wish for someone to take care of us as well. But it is too easy to forget the other person also wants to be cared for and loved and got into the relationship with the same intention you had. Thinking about yourself in order to fulfill your needs is not selfishness but forgetting to satisfy the needs of the one you love can only be described as selfishness. Even if your partner is not the "needy" type don't assume everything is OK. The need for love is universal and your expressing love is critical to a healthy relationship. So even if your partner doesn't express a need it is safe to assume it is there anyway.

4. Look for ways to express love on a constant basis

By following the four steps outlined above you almost certainly have a fulfilling and loving relationship - it almost can't be helped. Don't take relationships for granted. Until 'how to live' programs become the standard curriculum in our schools we must look elsewhere for accurate knowledge that will help us in our day to day lives. Lessons For A Happy Marriage will probably not be necessary for the coming generations because the information that is contained within it will probably by then be universally known. But for now it's a good idea to thoroughly read and understand the lessons so what is likely to become the most important relationship of your life will also be the happiest aspect of your life. You deserve to have a great relationship and a great marriage as well as a wonderful family. - 15784

Restoring the Charm of Life on Adult Dating Sites

By Mary Bush

There are some people in life whose presence or absence makes a great difference to us. With their presence they make us forget time and time never make us forget their absence. My granny used to be my best friend till last year she died of heart attack. She left a space blank in our household which can never be fulfilled by anyone else. I missed her a lot after her death, of course I'm still missing her, and my parents too miss her a lot. But with our self pity we probably forgot about grandpa, he was the person worst affected by the incident. The long-term relationship he had shared with granny was the best phase of his life, and he was feeling low since granny passed away.

Life has to go, anyway. I used to think of grandpa's loneliness more than I did of my studies. His gloomy face horrified me more than anything else in this world and every time I would plan out something interesting like picnic or a flick to cheer up grandpa. But they were temporary solutions One morning, while flipping the pages of the newspaper, I was suddenly stuck with a piece of ad that read: Adult Dating Site. It was a piece of information about an adult dating site that has largest number of members and was the most popular one. Now, thinking of something special about my grandpa, the advertisement was a silver line around the cloud.

I hoped to the computer to do a research on adult dating sites. I was surprised to find that more than 50% adult in the world are members of adult dating sites. 7 out of 10 members in these sites are single adults- either divorced, or unmarried or have lost their spouse. I thought it would be great if grandpa joins one of these sites. Adult dating sites form a great community for the adults who are out there to meet people and socialize in an age when they really require a good friend. I shared the advertisement with grandpa and suggested him to join in one of the adult dating sites, particularly the one that was mentioned in the newspaper. Initially, he was hesitant as he was skeptical about function of the dating sites. But I knew he needed it badly and I managed to convince the old chap to enter into the dating scene.

Grandpa was not that much used to handling computer, it was my responsibility to teach him everything - starting from managing computer to visit different adult dating sites to create profile and start chatting. After 3-4 days, grandpa was an expert. These days, whenever he is getting time- after morning walk or evening tea- he is logging in to one of the adult dating sites and getting busy in talking to them. I think he is having a blast on those sites. Now I'm quite relaxed.

I feel the adult dating sites are doing a great job as they are proving a wider space for the elderly people to make a community and share their feelings. - 15784

Materialistic Girl stay away from this kind of girl because she will dumped you after she spend all your money. She expects that a man should finance her entire life just because she is biologically female.

What You Need To Know About Your New Baby

By Ferdinand Mekinsy

Once the baby shower is finished, take stock of what is already there and not. For those items still missing from your list, make the necessary arrangments to have it readily available once the baby arrives.

Fourth, post baby bash activities. After all the food, the favors and trimmings gone, it is time to clean up. The most convenient way to finish all the food left is to ask mothers to take home a portion of the food served. This not only minimizes food spoilage, it would also keep the kids occupied during the drive home, in case they start asking for food. Because there are kids who play all throughout the party and do not pay attention to the food. But once they have settled down, usually during the ride home, then they start to feel hunger pangs. Thus, you would be helping parents keep the kids behaved during the ride home.

Hunger. Yes, your attention-hungry baby is craving to let you know that his tummy is grumbling. This is the most common reason for a baby to cry, especially, during his early months. The pattern of the hunger howl could be characterized as being persistent, demanding and almost rhythmical. But that rhythm is not at any rate close to becoming musical, of course.

This baby game shower is for those who love baby trivia and the like. Play Baby Truth or Dare by writing down some baby trivia, some correct and others purposely written incorrectly. During the baby game shower, ask randomly if the baby facts are either true or false. Those who guess correctly gets a prize while those who don't will be dared to perform in front of everyone else.

Discomfort. Pain is another precursor of the baby's crying. Who won't cry when in pain, right? Babies are not Major Paynes to endure the most excruciating discomfort they could undergo. They are little, vulnerable beings that need to be attended to when injured or when in an inconvenient situation. This cry could be more persistent, louder and more demanding. Shrieking and screaming, those are words that better describe the crying pattern roused by pain. - 15784

Compatibility in a Relationship

By Mary Bush

Two people meet, they fall in love - that occurs, in a multitude of various ways, thousands of times all over the world. Then, if they're good and everything goes well, they determine that since they love each other so much, they want to stop together and share a house.

Now, for wedded as well as divorced couples, they have to set to a new situation: Every-day-life decisions count on two people's opinions, preferences and wants alternatively of one before. In single life, one's the only instance of conclusion on what party to go to, when to clean the place, what to wear, what to eat and where to go on vacation.

And this independence, being an advantage in the situations portrayed above, can turn into a trouble when it comes to living together. Suddenly, determinations need to be checked upon by both parties, and compromises have to be made. Especially in the first time of living together, those incompatibilities can lead to the actions described above.

In the adaptation point, both need to be conscious of those attainable dangers and honour each other's difficultness in getting along with the new place. Some Other, the feeling of love and closeness that started the wish to live together is bit by bit replaced with a feeling of rejection.

The brilliant response on being criticized, misconstrued or in any other way "attacked" is to defend oneself. If you're habituated to make decisions alone, without considering another, maybe divergent opinion, you might feel assaulted when your partner doesn't share your line of thoughts or wishes. The worst, but unfortunately most common, because instinctively made, reaction is to "fight back".

For example: You need to go to a party. Your mate wants to go out for dinner. So your premier feeling is being "attacked": Why does your partner refuse your proposal, what's wrong with it? So the instinctive reaction, from a feeling of defeat and defiance, is to "fight back": A pointed remark, pointed at the partner's proposal and aimed to hurt, seems to be the proper answer.

In order to head off a situation where the only choices are professional person advice or divorce, some guidelines can help keeping things from going that far to the bad side.

Control yourself. By discovering your reactions and the resulting stress between you and your partner, you'll be able to easily isolate the kind of feeling that makes you respond sharp and offending. So once you know where your weakness lies, keep yourself from responding at once upon those triggers.

Think twice, and consider if your ego (nothing else you're pleasing with a sharp reply) is worth suffering your beloved one. In most situations, a second of silence is enough to make you regret the answer you would have given. Don't get it wrong, it doesn't mean you always have to step back. There are situations when a confrontation is needed - you just have to learn how to separate them.

Think Over on your words. Suppose the same situation, just with transformed roles. Of course, you have to be so common to admit if you would be hurt in your partner's place. Now that you imagined the affect your reaction would have on yourself, think twice again if it's worth it.

Remain cool. The worst things are said and done in angriness. If you focus on what you want to attain, there is mostly a better way than a bad verbal or even physical reaction.

Be ready to share responsibility. Especially for single parents, it's difficult to get used to unsuspecting someone else again. But without trust, your relationship won't last.

Be realistic. When you move together with another person, that means that your way of life will radically change. Your Independence will be replaced by interdependence: You'll be less on your own, but generally with our spouse.

Take this cautiously, and if you think that you're not prepared for it, tell your partner - before it's too gone. - 15784

How To Become Successful In Speed Dating

By Mary Bush

Speed dating is becoming more popular by the day with more benefits and less failures. This method is for people who have busy work schedules and have no time to on regular dating sessions.

In speed dating a group of people who are interested in dates are brought together in a room and each one of them is allowed to interact with every candidate within that room. The time allotted for each member to get to know each other may be 5 to 10 minutes.

This way every individual in the room gets to meet each other and they make notes about each other. Once the speed dating session is over, these candidates hand out their preferences to the speed dating organizer based on the notes that they have taken. Later the organizer matches the notes and contacts the prospective partners for a second meeting.

Though speed dating makes some wonder the utility of this kind of dating, for 10 minutes is not enough to know someone to make you decide on a second meeting with that person. However for some people this method has proved convenient and beneficial. Here are some tips on how to become successful in speed dating.

Be punctual

These speed dating sessions are entirely time based. As you know each candidate is allowed only a specific time after which they have to move on. If you arrive late at the venue you may miss your opportunity of getting to know some good prospective dates as your time is allotted to someone else due to your late arrival.

Have your questions ready

Since there is a shortage of time and you might not be able to think of immediate questions at the venue, try and prepare yourself with some good questions like their hobbies, their interests, their goals, the type of relationship they are interested in, their religious beliefs etc.

It would not be a bad idea to memorize these questions so that you do not waste any time. Also keep in mind the other person may also be having similar questions. Thus be ready and prompt with your answers. Give truthful answers to your partners questions.

Appearance is important

Though these speed dating sessions are meant for you to judge the other persons overall personality other than their physical appearance, looks do matter. People do not like to interact with those who have a shabby look or a dirty appearance. Thus make sure that you too pay attention to your physical appearance to create a good impression.

Work fast on the second meeting

Once you are done with the speed dating session and your organizer gives you details of your prospective dates after matching your notes do not toy with the idea of calling your date.

Since both you and your partners have met many others and made notes on them, there is a chance of both of you forgetting details about each one. So before you forget things about your partner dial the number without wasting any time. - 15784

The Basics of Long Distance Dating

By katie George

It used to be that your dating prospects came from a very narrow geographic range, and forced separations were very stressful on the fabric of the relationship due to slow and infrequent communication. Today with chat rooms, instant message, email, cell phones, unlimited long distance plans, and even web cams, not only has that geographic range expanded to worldwide, but communication has become instant.

Some of the time long distance dating occurs because a couple that met locally becomes separated by factors such as school, military service, or job assignments. Other times the dating occurs because the potential date lives far away when first encountered. Regardless of why the separation exists, the ability to communicate almost constantly gives the long distance dater as much chance for success as their local dating counterparts. Communication is widely viewed as one of the essentials of a successful relationship, and there is no reason why this should be neglected.

One pitfall of the long distance dater, especially the one who first meets the potential date with the separation already in place, is the tendency to think of the long distance partner as somehow less important than the date down the street. This is expressed in the world of internet dating by the use of "online" relationships as opposed to "real life" relationships. Rest assured that considering your dating relationship as a little less than real life will ensure that it will not flourish, nor will it last long.

We have shrunk the world with our technology. No longer need we look around our own neighborhoods for dating partners. The world has become our own private singles bar, but the cost we pay for this is the acceptance that long distance dating is going to occur, and it is going to cause a certain amount of frustration. While we are able to communicate, and this is good, it is not that comforting to lean our heads upon a computer monitor, or give a cell phone an affectionate hug. Although kissing a web cam lens might be as good a clue to feelings as a kiss on the doorstep after a date, it still is going to fall short of the real thing.

The secret to successful long distance dating is communication, and the thrust of a lot of that communication should be how to shorten that distance, all the way from many miles to a few inches. - 15784

On-Line Dating - Efficient?

By Mary Bush

The odds of finding your soul-mate online are a lot better than you may think. It doesn't happen for everyone, of course, but it can happen for you, as it did for me. The world of internet or online dating has exploded over the last few years.

It can be fun to meet and date a guy you've met out somewhere randomly, based solely on his looks. Unfortunately this could be a waste of your precious time. On-line dating allows you to examine a guys profile and picture and he yours, before initiating a friendship.

Before I was married, I circled the after work sets meeting successful guys and having a lot of fun. Unfortunately this good time did not result in my meeting a mate. It was not until I started using the on-line and newspaper dating services that I met my husband. Our profiles matched and we were both ready to settle down.

Below are some of the experiences I personally had with on-line dating:

(1) You can target exactly what you are looking for, the age, looks, income, social status, height, weight, talents, hobbies. You can be as specific as you would like in your choices. On-line dating is that secret weapon you have, that is not as much a secret anymore.

(2) You have the opportunity to get to know a lot about a man before you ever contact him for the first time. You will know his age, marital status, what city he lives in, whether he has children, his height/weight and his likes and dislikes all from his profile. You'll even see a picture of him.

(3) Video on-line dating services are good for us women too. We can put our best foot forward, by getting our hair and make-up done first. We can write-out and rehearse our script and take a couple of shootings if we need to. Our profiles can be written and re-written until it is just the way we want it before it is posted. Even audio and text ads can be revealing.

(4) Online dating is certainly a time saver. You can meet so many more men in a lot less time than you ever could out in the real world. If you are like me, you could find your future husband in the text ads. - 15784

Who Do You Love?

By Mary Bush

February, the month of love! The time when our culture sends messages of diamond jewelry, roses, chocolates and Victoria's Secret. Oh, to have all these things - well, to have one of these things - heck to even have a date, and we should be happy, right? That means we are loved. But many a Valentine's Day has come and gone with no jewelry, no roses, and no chocolate, and I personally like to shop at Victoria's Secret during a sale. Still, I believe our desire to be loved is THE thing we're all really after. Not just in February, either, but all year long.

Feeling loved takes different forms like acceptance, approval, and success. We want desperately to feel good about ourselves and for the world, especially a specific someone, to tell us we're loved. I know I've felt that way. I've also unknowingly absorbed the messages of our advertising culture that basically tell us to buy this, wear that and you'll get the love you want. It's all out there. Very few messages say look within, it's all in here.

But that's the truth: it is all inside. Like many, I have family, friends and a special someone who loves me. I've also had times of strained relationships where it was tough to give or receive much love. No matter my circumstances, I've learned that no one can give me love without me giving it to myself first. And no one can do that for me but me.

Being responsible for fulfilling our own need to know we're loved means not looking to other people in our lives to do the job. When they fail (which always happens in some way), hurt and blame often follow. At the same time, when we accept responsibility for loving ourselves we sometimes feel selfish. Filling up our tank means we need to spend time focusing on ourselves. The good girl inside says always give to others first before taking care of yourself. Well, again, the good girl isn't quite right. Instead, take some wisdom from the airplane safety message: "In case of loss of cabin air pressure, put your mask on first before helping others." Love yourself first and then you're best equipped to love and help others.

Take this designated month of love and like the song lyrics ask yourself "Who you do love?" Are you the first person who comes to mind? Perhaps it's time to make some internal adjustment. By loving yourself you give yourself and others the biggest gift possible. Now, that's bodacious. - 15784

In Tucson, Flowers for Valentine's Day Is best

By George Ramos

Amongst all the possible gifts for Valentine's Day, why choose something she won't like? Maybe you don't want your gift to be seen as cheap or not well-thought of. Well, besides being tried and true for hundreds of years, flowers are beautiful and well received by 99.999999999% of women out there. In Tucson, flowers are a big deal, as there are in most places, but there's not a lot of florists or stores that have nice ones. Ordering them on the internet seems best, fastest, and cheapest.

Maybe history can guide us as to alternative flowers to get for Valentine's Day...

Roses are the most popular valentine flowers, but did you know that in Denmark, people give pressed white flowers called snowdrops? Weird, I know. Roses, especially, pink and red ones, are the favorites of lovers on the Valentines Day since these color flowers have been the symbols of love for hundreds of years. I guess the 1st thing to consider is - why not get red or pink flowers, just not roses? Lillies, Orchids, alstroemeria, iris, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, freesias, carnations, and tuberoses are popular too. No, I didn't know what these flowers were either until I looked them up. Whatever you choose, watch out, because of the February heat in Tucson. Flowers here won't survive long if they sit exposed.

Tucson flowers are for the desert, where they belong. Check the link below for some great flower deals.

Not all of these types of flowers come in red or pink, but from what I've been hearing and seeing, geneticists have been splicing and dicing all kinds of flower species to make crazy colors and combinations, like fire and ice roses, etc. For some reason, yellow and blue seem to be this year's hottest colors, but go with what the woman in your life likes, as long as it's not black. well, actually, black flowers do exist, but the joke is that they're dead, just like your relationship will be if you send them.

If you're married or engaged, do you remember trying to figure out her ring size? Did you tie a string around her finger while she slept? Did you take her ring when she wasn't looking and quickly ran to the jeweler to size it? Well, have some creativity when choosing the type of flowers and color you want for your girl's Valentines Day Flowers. She'll appreciate it, big time.

Before you purchase your flowers, there's a couple of final things to think about. Should you get a big fancy display that costs a lot to impress her? Is she a practical person and would most like flowers in a vase that can be re-used or a mug or a basket? Will a huge bouquet fit anywhere in your apartment or house? Look at your counter space or where you think she'll put the flowers when she gets them. Choose wisely that way. Remember, the more thought you put into the flowers, the more you can explain what you thought about when you bought them and impress her, big time.

If you know what your woman would like, or if you need pictures of what I'm talking about, click below on the link to see dozens of real-life displays you can buy in minutes and ship to your door. - 15784

Learn Proper Dating Etiquette Techniques

By Mary Bush

The world of dating is extremely complex, with unwritten rules and regulations that one must follow if they are to appear mature and likable. Over the decades, dating has evolved incredibly quickly and transformed from something very formal and innocent in to an activity that is participated in at a moments notice.

Back at the turn of the twentieth century, parents of the female would often sit in on a date, as a man would only ask to go on a date with a woman if he was intent on marrying her. Nowadays, both the man and woman would feel awkward if either parents were present. The way dating functions currently is how people think it will work forever, but there is no telling what changes could happen in years to come.

When it comes to age, many people, specifically parents, disagree on how old someone should be to have their first date. Some kids go on their foremost outing as early as ten years old (yes, it is hard to believe). The primary reason parents forbid their children from dating is because they want to protect them, either from growing up too fast or getting hurt in some way.

Parents may be willing to let their children out of the nest early if they show signs of advanced maturity, but even that is usually not enough. America is notoriously overprotective, from sex, drugs, and violence. People forget that only four hundred years ago, citizens were having babies of their own at thirteen or younger. Human psychology and behavior has not changed since then, although the environment we grow up in has.

On the other end of the spectrum, dating when you are older (forty or higher) can be just as daunting as when you first start out. Sure, by then you know how to date and what to do, but the process is complicated by new factors such as your career and children. It is more difficult to set a date that fits both parties schedules. Utilizing certain dating methods, however, drastically simplifies the process for courting couples over forty.

Just meeting someone who is over forty can seem hard enough, let alone figuring out where and when to go on a date. Most people, by this age, are already married, which cuts out a large portion of potential candidates. Being that the divorce rate is at a record high, there are a lot of previously married folk to choose from. Instead of trying your luck in the real world, the virtual world may be more suitable in a situation like this.

Online dating has become a phenomenon, and is much more accepted and used than it was when the concept first originated. Special websites allow you to read profiles and view photos of likely prospects, and if you find someone you like, you can send them a message or initiate a chatting session. Chatting online is a good way to break the ice before going on a real date. Online dating websites are especially ideal for older people, and there are even some companies that focus solely on the over forty demographic.

If you decide to take the online dating route, make sure to join a membership site. The money is worth it, because the financial requirement weeds out most of the deceivers and scammers of the online world. Some still make it through the filter, though, so be careful with your personal information. - 15784
