How can i tell if she is attracted to me?


There are six clues that a woman is attracted to you. Here there are:

1.Eye-Contact

If you really want to know if she is interested in you, you need to check out her eyes. They tell the whole the story. It’s amazing that so many guys forget this, because deep down inside they all know it.

When a woman is truly interested, her eyes will be focused completely on you. You’ll be able to feel her attention. However, if she is not interested, her eyes will probably be scanning the room and the scenery.

Imagine if Michael Jordan was about to explain his biggest basketball secret to a 12 year old fan. How would the kid look at Jordan? Do you get the point?

Great eye contact will let you know if she likes you, and you’ll also want to look for dilated eyes, because they are a natural indicator and she has no control over it.

2.Nervousness

If the woman you are with seems to be nervous, there’s a good chance she is really interested in you.

Nervousness can come across in a variety of different ways, such as fidgeting, playing with her hair, or even biting on her lower lip. While many guys believe that her nervousness is bad sign, it can

actually be a “secret revealer” that exposes her interest level. Whenever people finds themselves in situations where they don’t want to screw up, there is a natural tendency to get nervous.

Nervousness is simply the emotional response associated with not knowing what to do + a fear of experiencing an undesirable outcome. For example, a woman may get nervous during a conversation with a new guy, because she doesn’t want to ruin her chances of getting the guy to ask for her phone number.

3.Opening up

If a woman starts to open up to you during the conversation, it’s a huge indicator that she could be interested.

After your first conversations go beyond the weather and other general topics, you’ll want to pay attention to “self-revealing” talk. If she begins to talk a bit about herself, particularly what type of woman she is, you’ll know that she is subtly trying to make herself more desirable in your eyes.

The next question becomes:

Why is she trying to make herself desirable to me? The answer is pretty obvious. People are incredibly predictable.

For example, if you were approached by a woman who was repulsive, ugly and fat, are you going to care about what she thinks about you? I’m assuming that you believe in being effective. People predictably desire to be effective at things.

4.Mirroring

Mirroring is another way that you can find out if a woman is interested in you. Usually, when a woman is interested in a man, she will subconsciously mimic the way he is standing or sitting, or mimic other body language as well.

If you see a woman that is mirroring your posture and your gestures, this is an instant clue that this woman is interested in you.

5.Smiles and Laughter

A woman that smiles at you and laughs with you is probably very interested in you and what you are saying, as well. Whether she shyly smiles as you are talking or she’s giggling at everything you are saying, this is a great way to tell that she is really interested.

If she never cracks a smile and looks unhappy and bored, she probably wants you to get lost.

6.Physical Contact

One way that you can quickly tell if a woman is interested in you is if she points to you with any part of her body.

If her face, or her shoulder, or even her leg is pointing to you, this is probably a good sign she is into you. If her body is pointing away from you, you’d better move on, because this woman can’t wait to get away.

If you can remember these 7 things, you’ll know without a doubt whether she likes you. Also I have no book to offer you. I have friends that continue begged me to write a dating guide because what I teach is totally different.



How to overcome insecurity when with girls


ITS ALL ABOUT THE WAY YOU THINK.

Is meeting women scary?

The answer to above question is... "if you think so".

If we train ourselves to respond negatively and feel negative emotions, when we feel good emotions, we become scared and find a way to retreat back to the bad emotions because they feel more familiar!

So, if you feel bad or negative or insecure about yourself, the following may happen:

  • When you get a compliment, you feel the person complimenting on you is lying or being insincere.
  • So when women express interest in you, you miss their signals because you don't believe they could find you attractive.
  • When you have an opportunity to have a great experience with a woman, you let it pass by because you believe it will end badly.

So, in the end you feel comfortable with your BAD feelings and loose the opportunity to experience GOOD feelings.

Here are some quick tips to help you in overcoming your insecurities:

  • Don't try making any situation perfect. But, try to learn from it. This will take out the pressure you unnecesarily built on yourself.
  • Go over your list of negative beliefs, and for each one, create a positive statement to counteract it. Include a reference from your life if possible. Be positive... like dont say "I am not shy", instead say, "I am confident".
  • Learn to rewrite your thoughts by replacing "can't" with "won't"!
  • Carry yourself confidently, do not hurry things up. Move slowly!
  • Remember most of your insecurities have no meaning at all. They only exist because you let them to exist.
  • In this entire Universe, only you have the power of what you think and feel. Don't give this power to anyone else.
And always remember, in your life at every step have the power to choose: Feeling bad, or Feeling good... so what do you choose?

Video-Trish Thuy Trang- Lovely

This is one of the more beautiful and soothing song I've ever come across. Posted here for all to enjoy. Scroll down to the bottom of the lyrics for the video. Originally sang by Michelle Tumes.

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
when I can't fall asleep.
You're the field
in the middle of the city.
When I'm rushing by
at the speed of light.

You're the strong resolution
when I find no peace.
You're the church bells ringing
in the evening.
When all is quiet,
Your whisper comfort
lifts my heart.
I get so weak.

Ohhh.... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... you're lovely. (lovely)
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain,
you're lovely.

You're the soft words that touch me
when I just can't speak.
You're the breeze on the ocean
in the morning,
reminding me
to greet the day.

You're the flowers I remember
seeing in Italy.
Colors through
a golden haze,
bright and radiant,
soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun,
it makes me sing.

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You're lovely.

I understand...
There may be grief
and there may be pain.
But I am aware
You blind the darkness
with who You are
because...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You're lovely.

Video- Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel


Is it a kind of dream, Floating out on the tide, Following the river of death downstream? Oh, is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon, A strange glow in the sky, And nobody seems to know where you go, And what does it mean? Oh, is it a dream? Bright eyes, Burning like fire. Bright eyes, How can you close the pain How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes. Is it a kind of shadow, Reaching into the night, Wandering over the hills unseen, Or is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees, A cold sound in the air, And nobody ever knows when you go, And where do you start, Oh, into the dark. Bright eyes, burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close the pain How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes. Bright eyes, burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close the pain How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes.

Difference Between Love and Infatuation


Are you really in love? Or do you think that you are in love?

There is a big difference between Love and infatuation. Some people can't tell the difference, thinking they are in love but really it is a deep infatuation. Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.

Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy.
There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.

Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away.

Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying.
But near or far, you know they are yours, and you can wait.

Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing them."
Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together, you hope it will end in intimacy.

Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship, which makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.

Infatuation lacks confidence. When they're away, you wonder if they're cheating. Sometimes, you check.

Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. They feel your trust, and it makes them even more trustworthy.

Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.

Love is an upper. It makes you feel whole. It completes the circle. It fills the empty space in your heart.
Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up.
It makes you a better person than you were before. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you don't have. If there is no love in your life, whatever else there is has a lot less meaning. The secret of our being is not only to live but to have something to live for.

INFATUATION

Infatuation is a feeling; real love involves a commitment also. Infatuation is just love of emotion. Real love, though, is love of devotion. Only the emotions are affected in infatuation, but in real love both the emotions and the will are involved. Next, a person "fall into" infatuation, but "grows into" real love.

Guys, have you ever seen a girl who was so beautiful that you thought you'd faint?
This is infatuation! It is based totally on physical attraction. often you don't know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. Thus, infatuation is mostly biological. Also remember, never tell a girl you love her, unless you are willing to marry her.

Then, infatuation is basically selfish where real love is basically selfless.Infatuation is more interested in satisfying yourself and the feeling than it is in the other person.

Real love is primarily interested in the other person. It seeks to give instead of get.. Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for the other person.

Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation.
This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if
you are truly in love.

LOVE

Now you know what is infatuation, we will go on to discuss about the details of a true love. Love is patient. The word translated "patient" means to wait patiently for the fulfilment of expectations.

When you have difficulty dating this girl and she does not want to come out, if you truly love her, you will not complain and blame her, you must look at the situation from her point of view - maybe she is having some problems which prevented her from coming out. You must react to it with patience and understanding.

Next, have you ever met someone you liked so much that you wanted to push the relationship and make it progress faster? Sure you have! Love, however, is willing to give a relationship time to grow at a natural pace.
It does not push but is willing to wait for the relationship to grow at a rate that is satisfactory to both parties.
Love is Kind Love seeks to encourage and build up others. It respects the feelings and emotions of others..
It finds its greatest satisfaction in making others happy.

You can do the following:

1. Give one another things such as gifts and encouragement cards.

2. Compliment one another. Magnify the other party's strength.

3. Listen to one another. Pay close attention to what each of you has to say and make each other feel that what each says is important.

4. Treat one another special in public. Compliment and encourage one another sincerely in the presence of others.

5. Love is Not Jealous. Jealousy usually indicates an insecure and immature heart. Love wants the best for others, but jealousy is possessive. Jealous is reflected in the childish statement, "If he is going to talk to her, then he can just forget
about me!" Often, one person wants to totally possess the other and to restrict her relationships with others.

6. Love is not about bragging. Love is not a windbag and is not anxious to impress. Often a guy will brag to a girl, trying to impress her so that she will like him. A truly great person, however, does not need to exalt himself! Others will exalt him.

7. Love is Not Arrogant. Love is not conceited, boastful,cocky, or stuck-up. Love, instead, is humble and has a servant attitude. Sometimes, a guy may come across to a girl with an "I can take you or leave you" attitude. His demeanour implies, "You ought to be thankful that somebody as neat as me is dating you." Of course, this is not love.

8. Love always covers. This word cover means to pass over in silence, to keep confidential.

9. Love is patient with the faults of others. It doesn't criticise and broadcast to the world the faults of others.
Love is there even when it knows the other is not perfect.

10. Love always Perseveres. Love always stands its ground and hold out. It will outlast anything. It will even love in the face of unrequited love. Real love will last though all sorts of trials, tribulations and stresses.

11. Love is Not Provoked. This means that love has a long fuse. It does not become irritated and angry. It is not easily offended.

12. Love does not seek its own. This is the heart of love. Love is other-centred rather than self- centred. Love says, "I love you, I want to give to you." Selfishness says, "I love you, I want you!"

13. Love does not act unbecomingly. This means that love does not behave disgracefully, dishonourably or indecently. It does not embarrass others by its action. It is characterised by tact and sensitivity. This also means that love should have good manner. Be sure to do little things like opening doors for your girl, or offering her your arm when you walk together.

14. Lastly, Love is forgiving. This is a MUST for a successful love story. If a guy is not willing to forgive and forget when his girlfriend is one hour late, he is not exhibiting love. Love doesn't hold grudges when it has been
wronged. It doesn't remain resentful.

** Remember this: Love forgets past failures and sins. **

Gain Some Insight Into A Shy Girl's Mind


Learn how to get insight into a shy girl's mind whether or not she's interested in you.

Steps
1. Walk up to her and ask her, or if she's just too shy for that, send an email to her, saying:
2. Say "Hi, I would like to ask you a question, can I? I should say that I want to tell you something, is this all right with you? Anyway, I will tell you later."
3. Give her time to think about that question. Once you meet her, just greet her but without any conversation. Smile at her, then walk away.
4. Be patient. Within a few days, if the girl works up her courage to ask what question you wanted to ask her, or what it was you wanted to say to her - it means she may have feelings for you.


Tips
* Be patient. Bide your time and just wait. Give her a couple of days, she is shy.
* Realize that many shy girls aren't really all that shy, once they've had a couple conversations with you, and others might turn out to not really be shy at all, but they're just quiet-natured. If they're in the second category, realize that it's a long-term thing that you have to be okay with.
* Treat her like she's a normal person, many people are not shy but are forced to be due to certain things like unpopularity
* Treat her like a girl. Just because she's shy doesn't mean you have to treat her differently.
* Be yourself she won't like you if you are trying to be someone your not

CAUTION
* If she suddenly replies to your email saying she doesn't want to know, or tries to stay away from you, that means she doesn't like you. Then you can send an email to her saying:
o "Actually one of your friends told me that you say I'm a weird guy. Did you? I didn't believe you'd say that..." In this way, you save face. If she asks which friend said that, just say, "I don't like to pass names. Just someone. Look, it's not important, never mind."

When We First Met

When I first met you,
I felt the strangest feeling ever
I know I never told you,
But it meant something

I kept thinking about you,
All the way home..
I didn't even know you,
I was acting cool & as if you were not even there

We talked and laughed,
But I didn't even know your name!!

I think I liked u that day,
You told me once that you didn't like me at all that day
Am not sure about that actually but..
That day passed.. it was so weird.. I told my friends about you

MONTHS passed..i had a close friend
He accidentally fell in love with me..

Then by coincidence I ran into you again,
Dont know why but my heart kept pumping heavily
My face turned REDDD,you smiled
And I turned my face away

I was kinda in a relationship
But that wasn't the reason I acted weird
I actually dont know the reason till now
I saw you many times later but I still acted weird

I knew you were looking at me and wondering
Days passed and we didn't talk..you said nothing and I acted cool..

Overcome That Loneliness


Overcoming loneliness can be a big problem for many people but often they can hide it so well you would have no idea they were lonely unless they told you. One of my Aussie friends who also lives in Bangkok was telling me over lunch last weekend how he is so lonely at the moment he is thinking about closing his very successful business and returning to Australia. It got me thinking about the concept of overcoming loneliness and I started to wonder what it is that brings on feelings of loneliness and why is it that people spend years being lonely while others rarely feel lonely. I think everyone at some stage in their life has gone through periods of dealing with loneliness so I decided to write an article about overcoming loneliness as it can really be a debilitating problem if not dealt with.

Although you may be around numerous people almost all day everyday overcoming loneliness can still be a miserable part of your life. When you are around a lot of other people who you may work with or go to school with but are not necessarily friends with, loneliness feels even worse. Why I think loneliness is worse when many other people are around you is because all those other people serve to enforce a fear in you that nobody cares about you. You see these people everyday and you probably have to interact with some of them but they do not even know the real you. You end up getting the feeling that most people although generally friendly are quite impersonal. This forces you into wanting to get away from this impersonal place as soon as the work or school day is over and retreat to your own safety zone like your home but sadly you usually get back to your thoughts about how to overcome loneliness.

After you arrive home you initially feel good to be away from all those people but then a horrible sense of loneliness sets in and then fear takes its grip on you. You may not even be a fearful person but the longer you let yourself suffer with your issues of how to overcome loneliness the more you have to be fearful of. Let me give you an example. You are cruising through life, having fun, socializing, you have a cool girlfriend or boyfriend and then suddenly your life is turned upside down when you lose your job. Soon after your girlfriend leaves and then you are alone. It does not take you long to find another job and suddenly you are surrounded by people again but you just do not seem to connect with any of your new work associates and your old work friends are too busy to spend time with you as you are both so busy with work and life. You may even go on a few dates but do not manage to hook up with anyone compatible and over a period of months you start spending more and more time at home and less time around friends or socializing. All of a sudden you realize you are lonely and the more you think about it the more the problem of overcoming loneliness grips your entire life and the more lonely you feel. After a while you begin to live on autopilot, you go to work or school but the rest of the time you are alone. Without even being aware of it you are suddenly waste deep in fear. You fear being alone, you fear going out to find a new partner as you just do not have the confidence you once had in yourself and you are fearful of other people since you have come to believe most people only care about themselves and are generally impersonal. Suddenly you actually give up on the idea of overcoming loneliness and you begin to accept it as just part of your life. You did not always feel this way but after an extended period of loneliness you do now and you cannot see it getting any better. So what has ultimately happened is, your fear has pushed away everyone in your life and as you remain in fear you remain in a state of loneliness.

This is just an example of one way loneliness can set in without you being completely conscious of what is happening before it is too late. One minute you are on top of the world and the next minute you are trapped in the void of dealing with loneliness. It can happen to literally anyone from all walks of life, from the young to the old or from the poorest to the richest. So who can help you? Well, you can certainly help yourself and turn things around by taking action.

Once you are fully aware of your loneliness and you want to improve your situation this is the perfect time to look at who you are, where you are in life and where do you want to be. The answers to these questions might be able to not only guide you towards overcoming loneliness but steer you in a more desirable life direction.

By looking at who you are you need to ask yourself what is making you feel lonely. Are you afraid of rejection and this is why you spend all your time alone. If so, this is a fear that needs to be tackled head on. Facing this fear is the only way you will overcome loneliness. There are numerous ways you can meet new people without having to go to bars or clubs which are not ideal places to meet partners or friends. Joining groups of like minded people is a real winner and even more fun if you can take a friend who shares your interests. Like minded people get on with others who like what they like, it is that simple and suddenly you might find that overcoming your loneliness is a thing of the past.

Where do you see yourself in life? Do you feel like you should be more successful? If so, you need to make a plan to work on that area of your life but don’t make the mistake of thinking you are not good enough or successful enough to make new friends or find a new partner. Most genuine people do not really care about the superficial things as much as they care about the real you. Overcoming loneliness requires you to be proactive. Be honest about yourself and where you are and have a concrete plan of where you are headed. Even if you are not there yet, people love to spend their time around people who know what they want and a new partner or friend might love to jump on board your motorway to succes and in turn help you to overcome loneliness.

Once you take a long hard look at who you are and where you are in life you might find that you feel lonely because you do not have a partner. At this point you need to access why you need a partner. Some people feel they need someone else in their life to feel complete, others are so tied up with partners they wish they were alone. You need to put things in perspective before you can make the right choices. Sometimes effectively overcoming loneliness requires another solution than just finding a partner. If you feel you need a partner to make you happy, then you need to ask yourself what a partner can do for you that you cannot do for yourself. I am not saying you do not need a partner, it is great having a partner, but you need to figure out what role that partner will take in your life. You want a partner for the right reasons and the right reason is not to be dependent on someone else because that can only lead to pain. You want a partner as a companion not as a security blanket.

Overcoming loneliness my involve taking some risks. You may have been emotionally hurt before and scared to take that risk again but the longer you fight it the harder it will be to get back. It is definitely worth taking a risk, a safe secure life alone will never be rewarding. The same thing goes for people who care too much about what others think or expect. If this is your fear you will never be free until you break those invisible chains imposed by the opinions of others. Forget about what other people think and live your life on your terms not theirs. The only people you ever need concern yourself with are not the ones who are judging you. People who judge are ultimately so insecure they are really only judging themselves.

You can overcome loneliness by taking action and you can take action on a number of levels. If you are not overly confident it is best to take small steps towards meeting people. Meeting through friends is usually one of the safest and easiest ways to meet new friends and potential partners. By joining groups, clubs or learning programs you can selectively choose to meet the types of people that like what you like and you may be surprised when you find what you have been looking for. In this infinite universe of energy, like is attracted to like, it is a scientific fact.

When Classic Games Meet With Romance

My partner and I love playing games. It's a great way to spend a few hours just being together and talking, having fun. Sometimes though the traditional games can get a little boring, so we thought a little spicing up was in order. This weekend when you're looking for something to do, try one of these romantic renditions of favorite classic games!

Romantic Word Scrabble
Play like normal except only words that are romantic can be used. If you are questioned about the "romanticness" of the word you used, prove it's romantic value by using it in a sentence. That part alone is half the fun!

Strip Poker
Okay, this one is a gimme, but it's great fun! Make the stakes higher by making the chips worth kisses, romantic treats and more when they're cashed in.

Risk
Rename the countries into body parts on the board and on the cards (so they correlate). You'll need to be pretty detailed as there are quite a few countries. When you take over a "body part" you get to have your way with it for 5 minutes. Or, if you'd rather, you can have your partner do something to that body part on you. Make sure to set limits on what is acceptable to ask the other to do beforehand and respect those wishes so it stays fun for everyone. If you don't want it to be too sexual, don't name any erogenous zones.

Chess
Every time you take over a partner's piece you are entitled to 5 minutes of a romantic "treat" of your choice. Whoever ultimately wins the game is entitled to special 2-3 hour romantic treat of their choice to be redeemed within 7 days.

Monopoly
Play the game as usual except change the payment of money into for every $100 you owe or need to pay you have to pleasure your partner for 1 minute. So, if you land on Boardwalk with all the hotels you'll need to pleasure your partner for 20 minutes. Winner gets a special romantic treat of their choice to be given within 7 days.

Rummy
Instead of playing until whoever reaches 500 first, play for a set amount of time. An hour is usually good for us. At the end of the playing time turn every 100 points into 10 minutes of time (500 points would equal 50 minutes) your partner has to do whatever you want. It can be anything from being your servant for the night, to giving you a massage, making dinner, hand feeding you, etc. Use your imagination!

If these ideas aren't enough for you, take a peek at some of these user-submitted ideas!

Hide and Seek!
One of our favorite games is hide & seek. It's best to surprise your partner with the game... Turn out all the lights and leave a note by the door for him to find when he walks in the door with something like "Hide & Seek: Find me if you can!"... or turn out all the lights after she goes into the bathroom and call out, "You'll have to search for me." (You might want to call this out and *then* find a different hiding spot. LOL For a little added twist to the game, one time I hid in the guest bedroom under the bed (I usually make my hiding spots more obvious). When my husband looked over the room and didn't see me he went on to the other rooms. After he headed downstairs to continue the search I snuck into our bedroom. I quietly picked up the phone and called his cell phone. I said, "Hey, honey... still looking for some fun? Meet me in the bedroom." It turned an ordinary evening into a playful and sensual one! =) ~Monica

Game of Love Cards
Take a deck of 52 cards. Assign each card a thing to do. For example, Aces get a kiss. Shuffle the deck and spread the cards out. You and your honey take turns drawing cards. Whatever card says to do your honey must do. Be creative with your ideas! Have fun! ~Anonymous

Another Game Of Love Cards
You can play cards game with your loved one, buy one box of cards (ordinary playing cards), when both are ready to sleep suggest that you play them. Here are the rules: 1. When one wins the other one has to take off his clothes, one per win until you are both naked then... Try it is fun. ~Sandra

The Alphabet Game
One person starts with the letter "A" and has to kiss a body part on the other person beginning with that letter. The other person starts with "B" and so on and so on. Some of those letters get awfully tricky, but you will be amused by what your lover will think of for a letter. It's very fun, and by the time you get to "Z" (if you do) you just might want to play again. ~Jennifer

Sexual Shoots And Ladders
Remember the old game of shoots and ladders? Make a board piece exactly like it and fill in the blanks with your own ideas. (sexual favors) You'll find your mate very aroused after a round of this game!!! ~Anonymous

Hide & Go Seek
Anywhere with big shelves is good for this (even the supermarket!) Shop with your person for a little while, and as they look at a particular item, say, "I bet you can't find me!" and dart over and enter another aisle. You can keep this up as long as you want. My boyfriend and I do this all the time at the bookstore and if nothing else it introduces a bit of friendly competition into the game. It sounds stupid, but try it- you'll like it! ~AntiSeptic

Play Othello with kissing rules!
Suggest playing the game Othello. Halfway through suggest making it a little more interesting. For the number of tokens they flip over they get to kiss you that many times where ever they wish. I don't think we have ever finished that game! ~Anonymous

A Love Puzzle
Buy a Puzzle (about 100 pieces) and assemble it. Turn in over and write a romantic message on the back. Take it apart. Have a candle light dinner and present it to her. Let her know that there is a message waiting for her. ~Carlos R Castro

Loveopoly!
Change the game of Monopoly. Change boardwalk into back rub, and Tennessee into take your shirt off. Every time you pass go, you get a kiss. etc. ~Anonymous

Hide And Seek
Play hide and seek outside in the rain...its fun and very sexy. ~Andrea

Pick A Number
If you like to be silly with your love sometimes, here's a fun thing to do: Walk up to them with a big ol' smile on your face, and say, "pick a number between one and ten"...don't explain why, just tell them to do it. When they make a guess at it, lean in close and whisper "Nope, you lose. Take off your clothes." :-)~Barbara Tilton

When You Love Someone -Bryan Adams

Beautiful song, sorry if video takes time to load, but worth every seconds in waiting. This video registered over 1.34 million hits! Plus lyrics, if you decide to sing along.

When you love someone - you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

You'll deny the truth - believe a lie
There'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
And nothin' else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you need someone...

When you love someone - you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
You'd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone


Love Thoughts


The beginning of love, is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not twist them with our own image -- otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them? The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of every-thing...they just make the most out of everything that comes their way.

The best kind of friend is the one you can sit on a porch with, never saying a word and then walk away, feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

Don't go for looks -- it can deceive.

Don't go for money -- even wealth fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile, because only a smile makes a dark day seem bright. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched their lives.

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance... and you find out you still care for that person. Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, those who still believe, even though they have been betrayed and those who still love even though they've been hurt before. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people, before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But, what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past ... you can't go on in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in Their hearts. But, if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. There are things that you would love to hear, but you never hear it from the person you want to. Don't be deaf to hear it from the person who says it with their heart.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are smiling and everyone around you is crying.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens. But often we look so long at the closed door, that we don't see the one which has just been opened for us.

Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. A sad thing about life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you ... only to find out in the end, that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone ... an hour to like someone...a day to love someone...but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear.

Love Questions


There was this guy who loved two gals at the same time but he didn't know which one he loved more. Someone taught him.

Ask yourself this question and answer it honestly :

"When you are happy, which gal would you want to share your happiness with?" The one you think of is someone you love.

Ask yourself another question and answer it honestly :

"When you are sad, which gal you want to share your burden with?" The one you think of is also someone you love.

If you think of the same gal when you are happy & sad, that's the most perfect. But if you don't think of the same gal, I would advise you to chose the one you are willing to share your sadness with.

In life, there are more sorrows than happiness. There are too many people that u meet that u can share your happiness with, not necessary your lover.

If you live your life happily, you can also enjoy it alone.

In sadness, however, there are not many people willing to share your burden with you. If you are willing to tell someone your happiness, I am sure that person has got to be someone close & an understanding person to you.

But it shouldn't stop there. If that person only thinks of you when she is happy, but looks for someone else when she is sad, this lover is too unstable, she doesn't treat you as someone she can spend the rest of her life with.

Of course, I will be very happy if I am the first person to share her happiness. But, if she is sad, I will be too willing to stay by her side & ease her pain. Only then, will I believe that I hold a very important position in her heart.

When you Love Someone

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them.
At that moment, you are in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh,
your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back, to let you know of their safe arrival,
your phone is quiet.
You are desperately waiting for the call!
At that moment, you are in love.

If you are much more excited for one short e-mail fromthat special someone than other many long e-mails,
you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the
messages in your answering machine because of one message
from that special someone, you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would
not hesitate to think of that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

You keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend", but you realize that you can not avoid that person's special attraction. At that moment, you are in love.

While you are reading this page, if someone
appears in your mind,
then u are in love with that person.

Maintain That Romance!


There is so much more involved in keeping romance alive than just candles, bubble baths, and foot massages. You each have to work at it in order to maintain and enjoy romance in your life. Here is how to feed the romantic fires in your relationship in a deep and meaningful way.

Steps

1. Tell the truth. Truth is the ultimate aphrodisiac and a great way to create connection with your partner. For example, you might say "I feel safe when I am with you" or "Sometimes I feel scared that we get so busy with other things that we forget about creating close moments together, but I really want to be close with you." Just share your true feelings and speak from your experience. If you are concealing in your relationship, you will not feel connected, so consider making truth an ongoing priority in your life.
2. Appreciate yourself and your partner. Appreciation means "to grow in value, or to be sensitively aware of." Take time to understand just what it is that you like about yourself, and your partner. Saying for example, "I am doing a good job as a parent by taking time to hug the kids in the morning before they go off to school." or "I really appreciate how dedicated you are to your job." Successful relationships have a 5 to 1 ratio of appreciations to criticisms, so if you really want to heat up your relationship, start appreciating!
3. Listen. All humans crave being seen and heard. Being with your partner, and really listening to them can be magical for you both. Often, we want to fix their problems, but it is much more powerful to listen. Saying, "Wow, I can understand you are frustrated." or "That must have been hard on you." Let your partner know you're hearing them.
4. Create romance within yourself first. We often try to "get" our partners to be more romantic by believing we need to change them in order to have what we want. The truth is that you are much more likely to have what you want when 'you' show up in that way. For example, create your own romantic mood--dress, put on music, prepare sensuous foods, take some time to love and appreciate yourself. It will not take long for your partner to join in the fun!
5. Ask for what you want. Let your partner know that you are deeply interested in spending some romantic time with them (You would be surprised at how often they are unaware of this.) Whining, demanding, and manipulating are contrary to creating romance, so do your best to ask using kind and loving words.
6. Bring play back into your relationship. Levity is a sexy thing. If you are stuck in thoughts of how much housework you have to do, or that you might wake the kids, more than likely you will not feel romantic. Laugh about the ways that you take your self out of a romantic mood, and soon, you will be back in it.
7. Speak your partner's love language. We often become confused and disappointed by expecting the other person to do such and such romantic things. Do to your partner the things they like as well as you telling them what 'you' like, want, and expect. When you fulfill their needs and desires, you will end up receiving the same in return!
8. Accept each other unconditionally, respect each others wishes and dislikes. Keep the mystery and fascination to each other. Love each moment as if it is the last.


Tips

* Communicate with your partner about what each of you wants in the area of romance, without making the other person feel wrong for their desires. One may want less romance, the other may want more, however by communicating, each can have what they want, it just may not look the way you think it is supposed to. For example, how could you create a romantic evening just for yourself? (This is a really powerful step to creating a life of joy!)
* Portions of this article are based on the works of Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks

CAUTION

* Many couples will subconsciously create an argument just when there is an opportunity for romance. This happens because we have conditioned ourselves to avoid intimate connection. We are afraid of being hurt when we are most open and vulnerable, thus we shut down without even realizing we are doing it. When this happens, take notice, without judging yourself or your partner. Instead try once more to spark a connection by using the steps above.
* Being sarcastic with the one you love is not romantic or funny, unless both partners realize the mood.

Attract The Opposite Sex Now!


For most people, there comes a moment where we wish we had been able to convert that fleeting moment with the mysterious stranger into dinner, a kiss or maybe just a conversation. Wherever it is, and whoever it is that you wish to attract, there's a lot that you can do to increase your chances out there. Here are a few basic pointers to help out... just apity it isnt as easy as it sounds for some.

Steps
1. Meet other people by going out in public. This begins before you even leave the house. Are you going to get some coffee at your favorite café? Walk past a full length mirror before you take off. You may like to lounge around in pajamas while at home, but that's not a way to grab someone's attention when you're out and about.

* Buy clothes that you feel comfortable in-- you don't want to look stiff. The whole point is that you show you care about how you look, but not too much.
* Dress appropriately; if tonight's plans are to go to the hip industrial dance club, then by all means, wear your Doc Martens and leather wrist bands. Just don't go from the club to the uptown bar unless you truly think you can pull it off. Being comfortable starts by not addressing stares. More importantly though, looking good often means feeling good and that definitely pays off.
2. Become a more self-actualized person. Aside from what you are wearing, always remember that the mind is the largest erogenous zone. Be culturally aware and interesting. Knowing a little bit of most topics. Truly knowing about the things that really interest you will genuinely make you a more interesting person.

* Music seems to link many people together. Knowing about bands you don't even listen to is a great social lubricant because "not knowing" shuts down avenues of conversation dead in their tracks. However, saying you've heard Joy Division and really like "She's Lost Control," but think it's a little monotonous shows the other person that you've already given something they like a try and don't like it; likewise, this gives you a little time to catch up and formulate a change in topic, thus steering the conversation into more familiar territory.
* Know yourself well enough that you feel comfortable disagreeing. Nothing is more boring and pointless than someone who always agrees. The other person could be so attractive your eyes glaze over, but listen to them really process what they are saying. Allow the words, "I totally disagree..." to roll off your tongue. This doesn't make you a jerk. It makes you a better person because you're putting yourself out there. Plus, it cuts down on your vulnerability to the other person and transfers it to them.
3. Develop a style. Any style will do, as long as it's your own. Uniqueness is crucial because it is what differentiates you in the sea of "other fish" this person has no doubt been told are out there. If you really like that goofy hat at the vintage clothing store and you think it looks good on you, wear it out. Don't be discouraged if people think you're goofy, chances are you wouldn't even want to meet those people anyways.
4. Mirror the other person's actions. This not only shows them that you're flattered with them, it also shows that you are noticing their actions.
5. Casual touches are a great way to gauge the direction of things. If the other person seems comfortable with you touching their hand or brushing their arm, then you have a good litmus for their attraction to you.
6. Look into the other person's eyes whenever talking. The eyes have been called the window to the soul. Admire them. Genuinely appreciate the other person. Just don't stare for too long. Studies have shown that a person generally will gaze into another person's eyes for about 4.5 seconds if they are attracted to them.
7. Eat. If you are self conscious about your weight, hashing out that insecurity by forgoing a meal in front of the person you like is not the right thing to do. It makes people uneasy when the person they are with is basically watching them eat.
8. Keep yourself clean and trimmed. Clearly, you wouldn't want a smelly trash monster in your bed, so don't be a stink factory. Also, if you find yourself a little less than fresh in the wrong place at the right time, freshen up in the bathroom first. Easily explain this to the other person by telling them to "wait" gently.

* If someone should joke about their hygiene, cut them some slack and joke with them about it to ease the tension.
9. Exchange phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Often the hardest thing isn't the "waiting three days" part, it's the time when you need to pop the question.
10. Ask the person out again, if it's clear you should take the initiative. You should gauge who needs to do this by your first meeting. Feel out what you have been talking about. Maybe the other person needs to get off the train at the next stop and you've been talking for the past 15 minutes on your way to work. In that case, ask them if you can call sometime. However, maybe you just bumped into someone at the bar and chatted for a few minutes; in that case give them your number and tell them you'd like to go out sometime. The difference is always in the comfort level you and that person have established. Obviously asking someone you barely know for their number is awkward for both of you, but if you've had enough time to build a decent connection then it's easier for the other person to give up those precious digits.
11. Make plans. This might sound totally crazy, but in the initial few weeks of dating it's nice to know there is a regular schedule that the two of you can count on. If you feel brave, call the person and ask them what they are doing a few days ahead of the "date day" and then tell them something came up and reschedule. Only do this if you need to build tension. Exercise common sense; but at the same time, this gets the other person stewing if they really wanted to see you in the first place.
12. Don't worry about dating. They say the first time you find someone is the time when you stopped looking. This is basically true. There is a lot to be said for someone who walks through the world with only one eye open -- and none of it is particularly bad.
13. Disobey at least one of these rules, you want to seem different, unique and a little like you don't care.


Tips
* Don't be afraid to tease the other person.
* Practice your facial expressions in the mirror a little. The right smile, or that cool smirk can make a big difference.
* Leave personal emotional matters out of meeting others, lest you draw them into a conversation better left to an actual relationship. These are best left for when you have actually begun that monogamous relationship.
* Exude confidence wherever possible. But don't brag either.
* Don't call for a few days unless you've agreed otherwise. This isn't as daring as rescheduling, and can build a little tension and excitement for your next meeting.
* Don't reveal too much of yourself right away. Future dates will include many opportunities for conversation, so you don't want the other person to already know everything about you. Having an air of mystery about you makes you more intriguing.
* Do what you know is right. Show respect.
* Enjoy yourself. The moment that your relationship or date isn't any fun, that's when you know this person might not be the best fit.
* Don't be too overzealous to declare the terms of the relationship- in the first few weeks or months it is ultimately more fun and relaxed when you don't try to place titles e.g. "boyfriend" and "girlfriend." This may actually scare the other person away whereas you are moving too fast.
* Finally, be yourself. A genuine person will love you for who you are.
* Don't show how nervous you are, if she likes you she WILL let you know.
* If you want to hold her hand, joke about it first, then maybe things will happen. Maybe you will just end up mutually holding hands.
* Never lie. Don't make stuff up about how much money you have, because before too long, they'll gonna go to your "mansion" and find that it's different than what they were expecting.
* The other sex is just as nervous as you are around each other at the first or second date.
* Don't flash your cash. If you really have money, you should just buy the right things for them try to make it a relationship.
* If you are both sitting at a restaurant and someone else insults them, drunk or not, stand up for them. Make them feel like they're very special.
* Though you want to stand up for him/her, don't fight for her; it looks like you're making up for something. If it comes down to it, obviously protect them, but don't stand up and ask them if they want to fight. It's immature. Really immature. Got it?!


CAUTION
* While saying a few fibs here and there seems harmless, make sure that large exaggerations and out-and-out lying are nowhere to be found. This is just childish.
* As with any venture into being unique, some are more hesitant to accept you and so, be ready for criticism.
* Some people are more flirtatious than others so expect that some roads lead nowhere.
* Don't be too generic. While most relationships strangely take about the same curve, telling someone you like their shoes to strike up a conversation is not interesting.
* Stick to what you know and don't talk about topics you know nothing about.
* Don't talk too much about any one subject. So you absolutely love the architecture of Munich, who cares? If you talk about it for seven hours, chances are the other person was just being courteous and letting you talk first.
* On matters of politics, religion and anything else that tends to be controversial, watch out. These things are a minefield, but don't be frightened to walk across minefields in the right situations. If these topics somehow find their way to the surface, don't be afraid to voice your opinions.
* In many situations, old adages just do not play out. For example the old adage that opposites attract is often incorrect; rather, people are very much attracted to like-minded souls and are polarized by those who are nothing like themselves.
* If in the first few weeks of dating, something doesn't feel right it probably isn't. Keep your eyes and ears open and by no means should one hesitate to simply walk out that door. Even if you're in a rut or have been for a long time, believe with all your heart that it is just better to keep shopping around than to be "stuck" in a bad relationship.
* Don't say lies that you can't get yourself out of, (e.g. being able to play the guitar when you know you can't play) unless you were blessed with extreme luck.
* Never mention your ex, particularly if the break-up was fairly recent. The person you are interested in will feel as though they are being compared, and it makes them think that you are not completely over your last lover. It also gives the impression that you are on the rebound and simply looking for someone to make you feel better.
