How To Tell If He Likes You, Or Just Wants A Fling

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 10:32:31 +0000

How To Tell If He Likes You, Or Just Wants A Fling ? Listen ladies take your time and have self control, do not jump in bed with him and then expect him to commit to a real relationship. If you want a relationship then take your time and demand a relationship. When you jump into bed to early, the relationship starts with sex instead of deep connection or love. I wish I could get every woman to stop believing that if they behave like a man then they will land a man. This is insane, they want a woman and they know deep down that if you had any self worth you would not just jump in bed with anyone, especially if you are wanting a committed relationship.

How to maintain independence in your relationship

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 11:00:25 +0000

Remember who you were
Don’t drop the friends, hobbies or lifestyle you had at the start of the relationship in order to fit in with your man. If he doesn’t share these, there’s no need to abandon them; if they fulfill you, keep them in your life.

Be more self-reliant
Don’t ask your man to do things you’re unsure about, whether it be changing a plug, calling room service or challenging a stroppy waiter. Bite the bullet, and even if you fall flat the first time, it will reinforce your idea of yourself, and his idea of you, as an effective and independent woman.

Project yourself as independent
When with others, make an effort to say ‘I’ instead of ‘we’. Offer your own point of view rather than letting him speak for both of you. Fix work and social arrangements without always checking back with him first.

Keep developing
Do things you find emotionally or physically challenging. Why not try bungee jumping, public speaking or even a fire walk? Building your confidence this way will reinforce the idea that you can cope even in a crisis, and that you don’t need your partner to rescue you on a daily basis.

Take breaks
It’s great to be together but 24/7 bonding creates dependence. At least twice a year, take a weekend away, either with friends or on your own, to gain a fresh view that you can share when you reunite.

Watch for deeper dependency signals
If you need constant reassurance, let him make every decision, feel your world would collapse if he left, then it’s possible that your dependency may be rooted in childhood problems. Log on to www.bacp.co.uk and find a good counsellor to help you.

Dating Etiquette – The 7 Inch Lean

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:00:58 +0000

Should the guy pay the bill? Being a woman and having all the insight with women, I can tell you guys that women are always turned off by a man who does not pay the bill. A woman will never feel romanced by a guy who does not pick up the bill. I had a personal experience before with a guy who just took me for a glass of wine and then had the nerve to say something to me about him paying for it. I basically dumped him on the spot. The truth is guys, most women are raised by fathers who teach her that if a man can not pay for your dinner nor wants to then he is not worth dating. I know that if I went out with a guy who did not provide and romance me in this way my dad would never approve of him, therefore there is no hope for relationship.

Do men like “the chase?”

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:00:52 +0000

Do men like “the chase?” Of course they do! Ladies remember that men love competition, that is why they enjoys sports so much. Trust me, you do not one to be the one initiating the relationship. I have noticed in my dating life that the harder I was to get the more they wanted me. I even had a boyfriend, literally bring me a box of special chocolates every time he came to my work, and these were not chocolates from the local drug store either. Guys like to know they had to prove themselves worthy of your affection. After all if you are truly special, wouldn’t you expect to be treated as so? I know a lot of guys wont admit it but I believe men feel the best about themselves when they are in a position to act like a prince. It is not just women who like this fairy tale, boy’s from the youngest of ages like to play the hero. So ladies let him be one and then you will find your prince!

Ladies, follow these rules

1) With online dating, don’t initiate a flood of emails. Some women email multiple times a day which makes them appear demanding, needy, or high maintenance. Frequent contact can cause him to feel crowded. Initially, let men set the pace.

2) Don’t Call to Say Hi, Check in, or Discover Why He hasn’t Called. This is seen as pushy and desperate. If you don’t like the slow pace, perhaps the guy isn’t the right one for you. If you feel compelled to call when you haven’t heard from him, don’t make more than one light-hearted and friendly call. That’s it. Either he’ll pick up the ball or not, but leave that ball in his court.

3) As horrible as this old saying is, “There’s no reason to buy the cow if the milk is free.” The double-standard is still alive! While all men don’t feel this way, it’s pretty hard to know who does and who doesn’t before it’s too late. The best course of action is to hold off on intimacy to insure you’ll get the respect you want and deserve.

Do all men have wandering eyes?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:30:59 +0000

To put it plainly, I think men and women still notice attractive people even when they are in a relationship. There is a difference however on how much time you take noticing them. Make a effort and be respectful with the one you are dating to not look around and keep your focus on her/him. Also this is to the guys, DO NOT GAWK at women, it makes you look pathetic!

She says she needs space. What does this mean and what can I do?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:00:27 +0000

What does it mean when she ask for space? In my opinion, when a girl asks for space this usually means that she has made a decision to move on but is not sure enough about that decision to make it a final break up. Basically, she needs space to see if she can be without you. It could also be that she is having a lot going on and needs to get some things together as well, but ultimately that means that it was not the right timing to get in a relationship.

Rule of thumb, if she ask you for space then give it to her and get busy trying to get over her.

Dealing With Interracial Dating

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:30:21 +0000

I was actually asked to write about interracial dating. The truth is, I have dated outside of my race and I know lots of people who have so it is not really a progressive idea anymore to me. I feel like there are plenty of interracial couples out there that it is not a big shock like it might have been like 15-20 years ago or so.

If you are going to decide to date outside of your race there are some things that you will need to be prepared for.

#1 There may be some cultural differences that you will need to give some serious thought on if you can deal with.

#2 Are you going to be able to have a proud attitude, walk with your head up and not go around with a chip on your shoulder?

#3 You will need to give thought that if you have children with someone outside your race, questions will arise about where they fit in like why is mommy white and daddy brown? Or why does my brother look white but I look brown? Basically be prepared to deal with issues of bi racial children.

Honestly, I don’t believe in color but I do see an importance on background and if the two of you will have enough in common to deal with issues together that will not divide. As with any relationship, it is important to take your time and get to know one another. Talk opening about deeper issues and the issues that will arise in your courtship. This will help the two of you in your communication and know exactly where you stand when it comes to your somewhat controversial relationship.

My biggest bit of advice is to be proud of who you are with, don’t let yourself get into a hole of self pity or go around with a chip on your shoulder. Be confident that you chose your mate and let backhanded comments slide off your back just because you know deep down that they are ridiculous and you would not even give any attention to such ignorance, it is after all below you!

10 signs of emotional abuse

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:30:09 +0000

It is so important that we know the signs of emotional abuse. If you do not know what it is then there is the danger that you can end up in a relationship with emotional abuse and already be in so deep that when you finally do notice that you are in one, it will seem too hard to get out of. One way to know that you are in an emotional abusive relationship, is if you feel like you have to walk on eggshells for someone. Also, if your partner puts down your family, friends and your beliefs you can be sure that you are in an abusive relationship. Having someone part of your life should never take or hurt the others in your life. Take care of your heart by never letting someone destroy it!

Ask yourself these questions

Do you feel that you can’t discuss with your partner what is bothering you?

Does your partner frequently criticize you, humiliate you, or undermine your self-esteem?

Does your partner ridicule you for expressing yourself?

Does your partner isolate you from friends, family or groups?

Does your partner limit your access to work, money or material resources?

Has your partner ever stolen from you? Or run up debts for you to handle?

Does your relationship swing back and forth between a lot of emotional distance and being very close?

Have you ever felt obligated to have sex, just to avoid an argument about it?

Do you sometimes feel trapped in the relationship?

Has your partner ever thrown away your belongings, destroyed objects or threatened pets?

Are you afraid of your partner?

Signs of an Abusive Relationship

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:50:00 +0000

Signs of an Abusive Relationship

Does the person you love…

• constantly keep track of your time?

• act jealous and possessive?

• accuse you of being unfaithful or flirting?

• discourage your relationships with friends and family?

• prevent or discourage you from working, interacting with friends or attending school?

• constantly criticize or belittle you?

• control all finances and force you to account for what you spend? (Reasonable cooperative budgeting excepted.)

• humiliate you in front of others? (Including “jokes” at your expense.)

• destroy or take your personal property or sentimental items?

• have affairs?

• threaten to hurt you, your children or pets? Threaten to use a weapon?

• push, hit, slap, punch, kick, or bite you or your children?

• force you to have sex against your will, or demand sexual acts you are uncomfortable with?

I have personally experienced abusive relationships more than once. The first one, was with a man who controlled everything I did, he allowed me to have relationships with my family but did not allow many friends. Throughout the relationship, he controlled everything about me. It started out with he just loved me so much that he was scared he was going to loose me, this being his excuse for anytime he manhandled me or cursed me into submission. I became such a different person, and didn’t even notice it. The only thing that I knew was I had to live my life in a manner to keep him from going nuts. It was horrible. Thankfully I got to my senses, because there was one thing that I knew to never accept and that is a man cheating on me. So I got out of it and felt freedom that I lost with him and started to see all that was so wrong with that relationship.

The other relationship that was abusive, was with a boyfriend who put me down and everything I believed in. I was not sure what he was doing because he would also counter act it with how in love he was with me. It didn’t make sense! That relationship finally ended and I am so happy that I escaped that relationship as well.

When I say that I have been through a lot, I really mean it. I have had enough relationships and enough experiences to teach others how to see the signs before getting in too deep. Girls and Boys look at that list and pay attention. Abuse not only hurts but it steals the very you that is so valuable. Never let anyone control or abuse you. Your life is worth more than any lover,and if your lover is doing anything that would make you feel less valued or taking away relationships that are valuable to you then they do not deserve to share your life with you. Ultimately you want someone who loves exactly who you are and has no agenda to rule over your life.
