Survey: Not all young men want more sex

2011-05-05T17:10:00.000-07:00

Unbelievable as it may sound, not all young men want more sex.

According to a survey on Australian men, 12 per cent between the ages of 16 and 24 said they wanted less sex - the highest proportion of any age group.

"Although it's a minority, it's still interesting that it's more of them (than any other age group), which is not that sort of myth, boys not getting enough sex and dying to get it," Dr Juliet Richters, Associate Professor in Sexual Health, University of New South Wales, told Reuters.

Dr Richters and a team of researchers from around Australia surveyed some 4,300 heterosexual men and 4,400 women between the ages of 16 and 64. She said another survey five years ago showed similar results.

Only 31 per cent of men in that age group said they wanted more sex, the lowest of any other age group as well.

"It may well be that they are being overwhelmed by girls of much the same age who are madly in love and very keen," she said. "It also takes men of that age about a year or longer to commit to a relationship."

More predictably, the survey found that 57 per cent of men between 35 and 44 wanted more sex compared with only 28 per cent of women, while 14 per cent of women said they wanted less.

Half of men aged 55 to 64 wanted more sex, while only 27 per cent of women in the same age group felt the same.

Why you should have sex everyday

2010-12-25T02:04:00.000-08:00

Heard that song called Sexual Healing?
It's not just a metaphor. Sex can actually heal. It can heal your body and mind and also prevent lots of diseases.

Some say it's the first medicine ever known to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too good to be true? Let's discover the five reasons to have sex each day.

Great form of exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories.

If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes you'll burn about 7.500 calories in a year.

That's the equivalent of jogging 120km! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.

Pain relief
The "Honey, not today, I have a headache" cannot be an excuse any more.

During sex, both male and female bodies produce endorphins, hormones that act as weak painkillers.

A study conducted by reknowned sex theraphist Gina Ogden showed that during sexual stimulation and especially during orgasm, we don't feel pain.

If she finds another excuse, remind her that sex is good for her entire reproductive system, because it trains the PC muscle, which keeps the reproductive organs in shape.

In women, sex can also increase fertility, postpone the menopause and relieve PMS symptoms.

Prostate protection
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems.

Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.

Prevents ED
Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won't be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is...sex.

An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.

Stress relief
It's a scientific fact: sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels.

During sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka "happiness hormones" and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

Top Ten Types Of Men Women Ned To Stay Away From

2010-12-10T15:33:00.000-08:00

10. Men Who Are Always Pissing On Everything:

You know the type; for him nothing you do is good enough. You’re too stupid, you’re too fat, you’re too mouthy. Well, the truth is the guy is an idiot trained from birth from his Neanderthal dad to piss all over you and everything you do. Avoid him like you would a pounding headache.

Here are top ten tips for women to avoid ten types of men while starting new relationship.

9. Men Who Are Damaged and Like It:

He’s the guy that seems so sensitive and caring when you first meet. He’s able to share with you the heartbreak of a broken relationship. You only find out after a few more encounters that he’s still nursing a broken heart from the relationship he had with someone over ten years ago.

You slowly realize that he’s not so much heartbroken but already committed to never caring about someone again. No matter how much time you spend together, you can never get through. Face it, you never will. The padding around his heart (and his skull) is so thick a neutron bomb won’t pierce through it. So give up and get going. He’s like a drippy faucet that slowly wears you down with false hope until you just want to smash it.

8. Men Who Love Sports Way Too Much:

There’s a fine line between a great guy who loves sports and the raging maniac that loves sports way too much. How can you love sports TOO much? men would ask in befuddlement. For most women, it’s obvious. A guy loves sport too much when they would rather watch a game than spend time with you.

I realize that ALL men fall into this category after several months of knowing you, but they will occasionally submit their whipped butts to taking you out or holding your purse as you shop, just to stop your fussing. But the sport fanatic won’t care that the house is falling apart, that the baby is crying or that you haven’t been out of the house in 4 months. All he’ll want is a beer, a TV and “some peace”. They are hard to tell apart from the normal healthy male but look out for the signs of obsession, or you’ll be stuck watching every lame game the sports channel has to offer and feeding his burping buddies as your friends go out to dinner and to see the hottest new movie every weekend.

7. Men Who Thinks He Knows You:

These are the guys who think they are Freud. They spend all their time thinking and little time actually doing anything constructive. They have put a big label on you after one date and a night of conversation.

He’s the guy who sits there watching you, with that stupid smug “I knew it” look on his hound dog face. He’s clearly thinking that by putting a label on you, he has you all figured out and knows just what to do to fix you. He looks at you as if you were some broken piece of pottery he’s going to glue back together. What’s sad is that he still can’t figure out how to get someone to actually like him, so how is he going to fix you?

6. Men Who Are Prettier Than You:

It’s one thing to date a sexy honey who looks like Brad Pitt, it’s quite another story to be with someone who makes you feel like a manly cow just by standing next to him. You know the type, don’t you? He’s the “metro man” who spends more time fluffing his hair just so and takes more time doing it than you would spend painting a barn door.

Ladies, the secret to feeling pretty and feminine is to never date a man that’s more beautiful than you and more delicate than you. So stop feeling like the turd that’s drying out in the sun, and dump the whiny narcissist.

5. Men Who Think They Are Better Than You:

Have you met him? He’s all about feeling superior. Nobody is good enough for him. He has a laser sharp tongue and can shred anything in sight until it lies in tatters in front of him.

This cold dead fish is unable to break into a smile for fear of splitting his face. He simply takes comfort in feeling that he is better than everybody else. After spending enough time with this guy, you will grow to despise the human race as he does, and crawl around feeling unworthy. Throw him away like you would a mold-filled potato.

4. Men Who Are Way Too Paranoid:

Something about these green-eyed goblins drives them to think you are cheating, even when you are with them.

They are the ones who seem so confident at first, flirting with you and attracted to your ability to flirt back. You date them and find they really don’t like your clothes (too revealing), your car (too flashy), your friends (sluts), your family (too nosy), your job (too demanding), until you wake up one day to find the only thing you have left in your life is a miserable paranoid weird violent man who can’t stand you out of his sight but can’t stand the sight of you. He needs you to have nothing in your life but him, and you will have nothing unless you wake up and get out.

3. Men Who Refuse to Grow Up:

Well, my opinionated wife says that if you need to avoid all men who are children, there would be no men to date. Haha. Not funny.

I mean other than the normal guy who wants to have his ego stroked constantly and only do what he wants to do , there are those guys who really are babies. Selfish, spoiled, useless little boys who don’t understand the concept of responsibility or self-respect.

These men are the ones who can’t keep a job, who blame everyone else for their own stupidity and laziness, who are constantly outraged that the world is not giving them the respect they deserve. Clueless, they never realize that they are in fact, getting the respect they truly deserve. Hanging around with this type of loser is like having 10 screaming kids hanging on your legs, asking for ice cream when you can’t pay for bread. Lock the doors, throw away his book of excuses and get a spine. Avoid him like you would a …blood sucking leech.

2. Men Who Think Only With Their Sticks:

Well, as we well know, the streets to the courthouse are littered with broken marriages caused by men who think with their sticks and not their brains. They see something they want to poke and it does not matter if they have Halle Berry, Christy Brinkley or Pam Anderson, and their 2 kids, 3 dogs, and 4 fishes waiting at home. These men will do what they know they shouldn’t do, go get the forbidden poke.

It does not matter that you are the hottest thing since freshly baked pie, a man like this is going to give you a few diseases and mess up publicly right when you are being voted “Happiest Couple” at the Lodge. You know he’s the type to cheat as that’s how you got him from his first wife. Know that you got a weasel in your arms, and throw him away before he puts you on the front pages of the daily newspaper for murder.

1. Men Who Are Cruel:

Simply put, there are certain men who are monsters hiding behind a thin veneer of charm and sanity.

There is nothing in the world as ugly or as damaging as a cruel man. For some reason, there are men out there who take only joy in seeing someone in pain (I don’t mean like in a dull headache kind of pain – I mean like a big kick in the nuts pain). People say that it’s a power thing, but I know it’s a sickness thing. It’s sick to be you if you are with someone like him.

Don’t be distracted by the sexy grin or the bulging pecs (or bulging other stuff) on the outside. Look at the inside. Fire is beautiful but it hurts when you get burned. Stay away from these creeps as if your life depended on it, as it surely does.

Why you should have sex everyday

2010-12-10T04:09:00.000-08:00

Heard that song called Sexual Healing?
It's not just a metaphor. Sex can actually heal. It can heal your body and mind and also prevent lots of diseases.

Some say it's the first medicine ever known to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too good to be true? Let's discover the five reasons to have sex each day.

10 places where women want to be touched

2010-12-10T04:04:00.000-08:00

Forget a woman’s cleavage, there are more erogenous spots that you can explore to get your lady sexcited. Read on to discover her ten most sensuous body parts.

What guys often mistake is that they go straight for the woman’s breasts or other private parts, without concentrating on her nine other moan zones.

So, if you want to get your girl into the mood, stimulate some of her often-neglected body parts.

Tresses

All guys like women with gorgeous locks. But what you need to know is that women love being touched on their head. It’s quite a stress reliever.
Running your hands sensuously through her tresses is likely to send shivers down her spine. Massage her temples to the nape of her neck and she'll be game to your desires.

Nape of her neck

In ancient Japan, the back of a woman’s neck was considered extremely attractive by men as it was one of the few zones that were not covered by the elaborate kimono.
Today, very few men focus on the nape of the neck, but we suggest you build up the pleasure by gentle touching and kissing your lady love from her hairline down to her shoulders. It will make her reach dizzying heights of pleasure.

Collar bone

A well-defined collarbone is what men find irresistible. So, why not touch and kiss her there. Unbutton her shirt just a little and stimulate her collarbone with your touch. Create circles with your tongue and give her love bites right there, just to remind her of how much you want her.

Small of her back

Most women love it when their guy places his protective hand against the small of her back as it shows that he feels very strongly about her.
So, why not incorporate this gesture into your foreplay routine, by kissing or licking down her spine to end up with a kiss on the small of her back. It will definitely get her into the mood for more!

Behind her knees

This area is a power house of sensitive nerve endings. You can gently caress the back of her knee under her skirt while the two of you are in an open public space as it is sure to get her excited by the time you reach home.

Palms of her hands

We use our hands to please our partners, but have you ever thought that you could arouse a woman by stimulating the palm of her hand? Run your finger along her palm as that will make her feel relaxed and ready for a sexy rendezvous ahead.

Her earlobes

This is one of the most erogenous moan centers of a woman’s body. Touching, kissing and even gently biting her earlobes will send her into a sexual tizzy. If you are getting extra adventurous, simply nibble around the outside of the rest of her ear as well, but don’t put your tongue inside her ear. That’s a major turn off!

Happy feet

There’s nothing more sinfully seductive than a foot massage. It will help her relax, especially if her job requires her to be on them all day. Get yourself some aromatic massage oil or lotion.
Pay extra attention to the pressure points such as her toes, ankles and the sides of her feet too. Some women love enjoy having their toes sucked, but others find it repulsive, so ask your babe what she would have you do before putting them in your mouth.

Soft thighs

Touching a woman’s inner thighs without touching her private parts is the most sensual tease that is sure to get her all charged up.
Employ your hands and mouth to caress and kiss the insides of her thighs but remember to pull back before going all the way.

How To Love Again...

2010-08-09T17:42:00.000-07:00

Once your heart has been broken, it can be very difficult to love again. Some people never move past a broken heart. However, you can learn to love again, even after being emotionally wounded by a failed relationship or a lost love. To deprive yourself of love is to miss out on one of life’s biggest blessings. Here is how to love again.

Step 1

Grieve your losses. Before you will be ready to love again, you need to heal the pain that your lost love has inflicted. Whether you lost your love through a failed relationship or the death of a loved one, your lost love left emotional wounds. Grieve your losses so you will free yourself to love again.
Step 2

Recognize the need to love again. Loving others is one of the most basic needs of human existence. Without love, life is meaningless. While you might need to take some time to lick your emotional wounds, closing off your heart to love will make your life seem empty.
Step 3

Decide that loving again is worth the risk. While you are still in the grieving process, your heart might feel too fragile to take the risk of loving again. However, as you grieve your loss and become more emotionally healthy, you will move toward being ready to open up your heart again.
Step 4

Love yourself. The more you love yourself, the more likely you are to attract a person who is emotionally healthy. If you go out looking for love to fill a hole in your heart, then you are much more likely to attract someone who wants to take advantage of you. However, if you come from the perspective of having lots of love to give, then you will attract a similar person.
Step 5

Think about what you want in a new relationship. Set a standard for what you are seeking in a new relationship. Make it a point to progress in this relationship, and don't fall into old patterns just because they are comfortable.
Step 6

Let the love come to you. Don’t go out looking for “Mr. Right” in places where singles congregate. Instead, get involved in activities which you enjoy that bring you into contact with people who have the same interests. Whether you do this through a church, a bowling league or a city tennis club, get involved in your community in a positive manner.
Step 7

Ease into a new relationship slowly. Do not try to replace the lost relationship. Instead, allow a new one to grow and blossom in its own way

EVEN GOD GAVE UP

2010-08-04T08:28:00.000-07:00

A completion manager walking along a California beach was deep in
prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish."

Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord
said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will
grant you one wish."

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the
bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take. I can do it,
but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little
more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honour and
glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that
I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are
thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean
when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"

Is Love at First Sight a Real Thing?

The Debate Over Love at First Sight

By Holly Ashworth, About.com Guide

Listen to enough pop songs and watch enough romantic movies, and you're bound to start believing that love at first sight happens all the time. But does it exist in the real world, between real people?

Like so much about love, the question of love at first sight can't be answered objectively. But I'll do my best to answer it here in the most helpful way.

Is Your Mind Playing Tricks on You?
Have you ever seen someone and instantly felt attracted to every part of them, including their personality (even though you haven't even talked to them yet)? You might be quick to call it love at first sight, but it's probably what psychologists call the attractiveness halo effect. When you see someone who looks great, your brain sometimes jumps to the conclusion that their personality must be great, too.

We all know that not everyone's looks and personalities match up. Some attractive people are total jerks, and some of the best people in the world aren't what you'd necessarily think of as hot. So the halo effect is really just an illusion. Your sudden feelings of love might go away as soon as you get to know the person better.

Love: More than Just Looks
Everyone's got a different take on what love is, but few people believe that's made out of stuff you can find just by looking at someone. Love (at least if you ask me) is made up of compromise, empathy and patience. You can't give or get those sorts of things at first sight.

That doesn't mean that your initial feelings can't turn into love. When you first see someone, you might instantly know that you want to get close to them and learn about them. As your relationship progresses, those feelings might eventually grow into love. But is "love" really the word for your gut reaction? Not unless your definition of love is kinda superficial.

When Couples "Just Know"
You might meet couples who say that when they saw each other for the first time, they "just knew." What did they really know? Probably that they liked how the other person looked and acted, and that they wanted to take things to the next step and get to know each other better.

If they want to call it "love at first sight," that's okay by me. But keep in mind that there are lots of other couples who get the same feeling when they meet each other, and it ends badly or doesn't go anywhere at all. It's not the first glance that makes it love. It's the stuff that comes later - the commitment and caring that makes a relationship last.

The Danger of Believing Too Strongly in Love at First Sight
You might be wondering why I'm giving love at first sight such a bad rap. It's not that I don't think the idea is sweet, or that I don't love me some romantic movies. (My favorite love at first sight scene's gotta be this one from Romeo and Juliet.)

But it's wrong to think that if you don't have intense feelings right away, it could never be love. Some of the best and strongest relationships started out in totally unromantic ways.

More importantly, though, the halo effect can be dangerous. If you see someone hot and assume that what you feel is love, you'll overlook qualities in them that could end up hurting you. You might let them get away with abusive behavior because your heart has taken over your better judgment.

So What's the Answer?
Whether or not you want to believe in love at first sight is up to you. Just don't go out there expecting to find it and get upset when you don't.

And when you meet someone you instantly swoon over, be aware that there's a whole lot about them you haven't seen yet - including some stuff that might not be so deserving of your love.

10 Easy Flirt Tips

2010-08-01T06:50:00.000-07:00

How to Flirt With a Girl or Guy

By Holly Ashworth, About.com Guide

Flirting's a language - and just like with any other language, no one's born a fluent flirt. If you want to know how to flirt like a pro, you've got to learn the signs. Follow these flirt tips and practice till you're an expert flirt.

1. Choose Your Targets

You don't have to have a crush on someone in order to flirt. Practice flirting with random people you see every day - people who might not even be on your dating radar - on order to hone your skills. That way, you'll have some flirting experience under your belt when you approach the people who really matter.

2. Have an Opening Line

Find a reason to talk to the person. If you're in a class with them, come up with a question about an assignment. If they're standing in line behind you at a concert, ask about the band. Get creative, and be ready to respond to whatever they say.

3. Make Eye Contact

If you don't make eye contact, you'll look bored or uninterested, and that's not an impression you want to give. Too shy to look them right in the eyes? Here's a trick: look at the spot right between their eyes. It'll look like eye contact to them.

4. Come Up With a Compliment

Pick one thing you like about the way they look - like their hair, their smile or an article of clothing. Let them know in a friendly way how much you like it. It'll make them feel good and will open them up to you. (If you can't think of an opening line for tip #2, a compliment will do.)

5. Smile

You don't have to go all Bozo the Clown, but the idea is to look like you enjoy talking to them. So be sure to throw them a smile whenever it makes sense. If they shoot one back, you'll know that they like talking to you, too.

6. Flirt With Your Body

The body language you use when you flirt is just as important as what you say. Use good posture, point your body towards the person and try to find excuses to touch them. For more on how to do that, check these body language flirting tips.

7. Keep It Light

You'll get a way better response if you chat about fun, happy stuff (like your new puppy) than serious or sad stuff (like when your puppy got hit by a train). The point of flirting isn't to bare your soul or share your honest opinions about everything. It's to open the door to lots more conversations down the road.

8. Beware of Awkward Silences

Once the convo drags, it's probably gone for good. Fill an awkward silence by asking the other person a question. Can't think of one? Ask them about something they're wearing or something in your environment (like a painting on the wall, or the music that's playing).

9. Wrap It Up

If you're not interested in talking anymore, politely find an excuse to head off into the sunset. If you are interested, give them a way to get in touch with you - like your phone number or Facebook name. This is (hopefully) just your first convo of many, so save some of that charm for the next time.

10. Practice, Practice, Practice

No one's perfect at flirting the first time around. If the idea of flirting still gives you butterflies, don't worry - it just means that you need more practice. The more you flirt, the easier it'll get.

Please Hear What I'm Not Saying

2010-05-27T07:19:00.000-07:00

Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear for I wear a mask,
a thousand masks,
masks that I'm afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.

Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,
but don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure,
that all is sunny and unruffled with me,
within as well as without,
that confidence is my name and coolness my game,
that the water's calm and I'm in command and that I need no one,
but don't believe me.
My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,
ever-varying and ever-concealing.
Beneath lies no complacence.
Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.
But I hide this.
I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.
That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,
a nonchalant sophisticated facade,
to help me pretend,
to shield me from the glance that knows.

But such a glance is precisely my salvation,
my only hope, and I know it.
That is, if it's followed by acceptance,
if it's followed by love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,
from my own self-built prison walls,
from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.
It's the only thing that will assure me of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.
But I don't tell you this.
I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,
will not be followed by love.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me,
that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing
and that you will see this and reject me.

So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,
with a facade of assurance without and a trembling child within.
So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I tell you everything that's really nothing,
and nothing of what's everything,
of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
do not be fooled by what I'm saying.
Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,
what I'd like to be able to say,
what for survival I need to say,
but what I can't say.

I don't like hiding.
I don't like playing superficial phony games.
I want to stop playing them.
I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me
but you've got to help me.
You've got to hold out your hand
even when that's the last thing I seem to want.
Only you can wipe away from my eyes
the blank stare of the breathing dead.
Only you can call me into aliveness.
Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,
each time you try to understand because you really care,
my heart begins to grow wings--
very small wings,
very feeble wings,
but wings!

With your power to touch me into feeling
you can breathe life into me.
I want you to know that.
I want you to know how important you are to me,
how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--
of the person that is me if you choose to.
You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,
you alone can remove my mask,
you alone can release me from my shadow-world of panic,
from my lonely prison,
if you choose to.
Please choose to.

Do not pass me by.
It will not be easy for you.
A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.
The nearer you approach to me the blinder I may strike back.
It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man
often I am irrational.
I fight against the very thing I cry out for.
But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls
and in this lies my hope.
Please try to beat down those walls
with firm hands but with gentle hands
for a child is very sensitive.

Who am I, you may wonder?
I am someone you know very well.
For I am every man you meet
and I am every woman you meet.

2010-05-27T07:06:00.000-07:00

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me

Taylor Swift - Love Story

2010-05-27T06:59:00.000-07:00

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts,
I'm standing there,
On the balcony in summer air.

I see the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.
See you make your way through the crowd,
And say, "Hello",
Little did I know,

That you were Romeo,
You were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
Begging you, "Please don't go".

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.
You be the prince, and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

So I sneak out to the garden to see you,
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if he knew,
So close your eyes,
Escape this town for a little while.

'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me,
Begging you, "Please don't go".

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.
You be the prince, and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

"Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it of this mess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

Well, I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading,
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,
"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you, but you never come.
Is this in my head,
I don't know what to think,"

You knelt to the ground,
And pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress,
It's a love story, baby just say yes."

We were both young when I first saw you...

Ten Girl Secrets Revealed!

2009-11-21T18:34:00.000-08:00

Sure women are the fairer sex, but that doesn't mean they're all sugar and no spice.

As a member of this mysterious team (and at the risk of being banned), I have the inside scoop on the strange and mischievous things women do and the reasons they do it. Just be warned: these tips are meant to inform and aren't pretty. Below are our top 10 best-kept secrets, tricks and techniques for keeping you around (or, in this case, totally alienating you).

1. We never "accidentally" leave our underwear at your apartment.
Aside from the stray hair tie here and there, no woman ever "forgets" to put on her panties before she leaves the next morning. Unless you're about to get busted by your parents/girlfriend/priest and little Miss Booty Call must crawl out of a second story window, that bra lying innocently under your bed was left there on purpose. We like planting things in your home because we want you to think of us, but also because our dirty panties are like little landmines that we hope the "other woman" will step on then freak out and leave you forever.

2. We like to Google you, but never mention our discoveries.
It gets worse: we will then ask leading questions that pertain to what we found as a way to tease out some dark, dirty secret. You see, we respect your privacy, which is why we would never come clean and tell you that we know about the time you tried out for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. We want you to tell us because honesty is important.

3. We are talented when it comes to acting.
Think about the number of times you've brought your girlfriend to orgasm. Now take that number and minus the times you thought she was faking. Take THAT number and divide it by 1000. That is the number of times she actually came. I'm really, really sorry. We like having sex with you, but not when it cuts into Conan.

4. We will go to great lengths to find out what your ex-girlfriend looked like.
We'll begin with an image search. Then we'll graduate to Webshots, class pictures from her ten-year high school reunion, Flickr.com and a hazy group picture taken in a bar and posted on someone's Myspace. We will then judge her, call our friends and send them a link so they too may judge her. The consensus will always be that the current girlfriend (us) is way prettier than former girlfriend (fat, ugly hag).

5. We booty call ex boyfriends and old flings for sex to keep our numbers down.
Doing so helps us from feeling like sluts. But that doesn't mean when you ask how many guys we have slept with, we won't lie through our teeth. Add ten to the number we give you and it's still too low.

6. We are way more insecure about our jobs, intellect and education than our looks.
But that only applies if we're more attractive than you; if you're more attractive we're insecure about our looks in addition to our jobs, intellect and education. If we're hot and make more money than you, tough shit, you'll never hold the remote.

7. We count the condoms under the sink.
But you already knew that, which is why we're well aware that it's a decoy box. We count that one too. You weren't prepared for that one were you?

8. We equate sex with love.
We think that if we fuck you hard enough, we'll knock something loose and you'll fall in love. This is why we have sex with you first and expect a commitment later. This never works, yet we will lie and tell you that we're only interested in having fun. We don't want to have fun; we want a boyfriend.

9. We lie to you about who we are with.
More than once. There is fairly high chance that a woman has lied about having a date to make you jealous, but in essence, it isn't really lying because although she spent the evening alone at home eating chocolate and watching old episodes of Melrose Place, she did have plans, with someone, of an ambiguous gender, and food and beverages could have been consumed had she not cancelled, hypothetically. Ok, please don't judge us.

10. We are evil.
We are evil for three days before our periods. PMS is a legitimate condition and now that a drug for PMDD is available, we all have that too. Some of us cry as a result of PMS, sometimes we need to talk about our relationship and why you won't just commit, while we're crying, of course. We feel fat during this time and we hate you. Your job is easy: Just try not to piss us off more. We sincerely believe that you enjoy seeing us in pain.

Sadly, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows, maybe now that we've been exposed the madness will stop. But probably not.

Men's top sex secrets revealed!

2009-11-21T18:27:00.000-08:00

According to Fox News, here are 10 things that you didn't know about men and sex:

1. Trapped Sperm
Not all sperm go racing for the egg at once. Once sperm has been deposited into the vaginal canal, some of them are temporarily trapped in a semen coagulate or clot. Eventually, they are decoagulated by enzymes, which set them free to swim about a female''s reproductive system. This clotting, according to scientists, is meant to pace the release of sperm into the uterus, increasing the chance that one of these sperms will reach the egg and fertilise it.

2. Oxytocin affects males too
It is believed that oxytocin affects females during sex (and breast-feeding). But this cuddle hormone, released by both sexes during intimacy, is also found to influence males. Research from Switzerland found that oxytocin is associated with increased feelings of trust in males.

3. High testosterone = Less sex
While higher testosterone levels is typically considered a good thing for men when it comes to their sex drive, still researchers continually found that males with higher testosterone levels marry less often, are more abusive in their marriages and divorce more regularly. In fact, married men see more action than single men.

4. Death during sex has a prototype
While examining the incidence of death during sex, a 1975 study discovered a unique pattern in males: the "deceased is usually married; he is not with a spouse and in unfamiliar surroundings," and death usually occurs after "a big meal with alcohol." Another study in 1989 found further evidence supporting the extramarital sex bit. Fourteen of the 20 cases of "la mort d''amour," or coital death, happened during an affair.

5. Orgasm ... or lack of ... may prevent breast cancer in males
A study in Greece found evidence that the frequency of adult orgasms

may have an impact on the incidence of breast cancer in men. In fact, it was also revealed that males with breast cancer had experienced fewer orgasms on average than men without the disease.

6. You can tell a guy's size by his fingers
A University of Liverpool research cited that if a man''s ring fingers are longer than his index fingers, this means there were healthy testosterone levels in the womb. If the ring fingers are the same size or smaller than the index fingers, then the male received lower levels of testosterone, implying that one can estimate the length of his organ by the length of the ring finger.

7. Men fall in love faster than women
It's not the women, but men, who get out of control after a glimpse of the right attractive face and fall head over heels in love immediately, claimed love researcher Dr. Helen Fisher.

8. Family affects testosterone
As a man becomes increasingly attached to his family, his testosterone level goes down, according to a 2001 Mayo Clinic study. Particularly, fathers experience a significant decline in levels of testosterone with the birth of his child, especially when he holds the baby.

9. Can a bowel movement make for bliss?
In a 2002 study, it was mentioned that a male had a history of orgasmic-like feelings after going to the bathroom. After he answered nature's call, his body went through the rest of the male sexual response cycle. His pulse rate increased as he reached climactic state, followed by relaxation, then extreme fatigue.

10. Males like 'unusual' sex
Men have a 20 to 1 likeliness against women to practice an "unusual" and often socially unacceptable or illegal behavior, for example exhibitionism.

Why do We Always Hurt The Ones We Love

2009-08-02T07:49:00.000-07:00

Here we go again,
Hurting each other for no reason
Wondering why we keep committing the same mistakes.
Sometimes I'm feeling
That it's more than just illusion
Tell me why we keep pretending
Are we so scared of give and take?
Ohh...

CHORUS:
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
(Why?)
Just when it seems we've finally made it through
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

BRIDGE:
When you cry, the tears were falling like raindrops
From my eyes...why do we do hurt each other?
Tell me why we shouldn't try, are there some things we didin't share?
Why do I see you walking out right w/ me,
I see you standing here?

-INSTRUMENTAL-

Tell me why... do we hurt the ones we love? (Why?)
When we've finally made it through why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love...ohh...

Dating Secret Exposed: Why Nice Guys Finish Last

2009-07-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

Found this article and I can't help but to include it in my blog because I know some of us may need to read it. So, for the benefits of them, and maybe even you, here's the article. To be fair to the original author, I've to include the author's name.

By Dating expert April Masini Special to Yahoo! Personals

Are you a nice guy who has always wondered why the cocky guy -- the one who barely appears interested in the girl -- is usually the one who gets the girl?
Have you suffered from hearing the words, "You're a really nice guy, but I only like you as a friend," from a woman who you would do (or may, in fact, have already done) just about anything and everything for -- only to turn around and watch her date (or even chase) a guy who treats her like she's nothing special? And are you stumped wondering why she would date a guy who treats her like that when she could have you who would treat her like a princess and give her everything she wants? Well, you better brace yourself because I'm going to tell you a couple of secrets that you might not want to hear.

First, "nice" equates with boring and predictable. Look up "nice" in the dictionary and you find: pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory. In other words, average -- not exceptional, not exciting, and not sexy.I'll bet you've never heard a woman say she didn't want to date a guy because he was too confident, too passionate, or too exciting -- have you? But, I'll bet you have heard women say things like, "He's such a nice guy. He's so sweet and he's always there for me, but I only like him as a friend." Or, "He's such a good guy -- kind, thoughtful, generous, honest, loyal -- but there's no chemistry. He just doesn't turn me on." Sadly, I hear it all the time. The fact is, Mr. Nice Guy, you cannot bore a woman into feeling attracted to you or into wanting to date you. And as obvious as that sounds, if you are one of those guys I described that is exactly what you are trying to do. And it won't work.

Please understand that I am not suggesting that you mistreat women or disrespect them in any way. What I suggesting is that you value and respect yourself more.

To illustrate what I mean: The answer to the question, "Why does the guy who doesn't appear to care as much about the girl get the girl?" is simple: The nice guy cares too much, too soon. He has made the woman too important and too valuable and it shows in everything he says and does. He is too available, too eager to please, too accommodating, and he gives too much -- all without getting anything in return. By doing so, he has made himself appear desperate, insecure, needy of this woman's attention, affection, and approval -- and he has stripped himself of any value in her eyes. After all, if he's already doing and giving everything, without her doing or giving anything - why would she value him? She won't. She is not going to value him any more than he values himself. What she is going to do is look for someone else, someone who she perceives as being more worthy, more confident, and more valuable.

It works like this:

Once you need something, or you want it too badly, you forfeit your strength and lose all power of negotiation. You are in a position of weakness and you are perceived as weak. Someone (or something) else is in control of you, the situation, and it's outcome. Men in this situation appear to be anything but confident, strong, and exciting. More, they are perceived as being unworthy and as lacking value.
Translation: Things that are easily acquired, obtained, or maintained, without any effort or sacrifice, lack value... it's human nature.

The secret to why the cocky guy wins with women, over the nice guy, is that he is perceived as being a stronger, more confident guy with more value. How? He never invests everything -- his entire being, ego, and self-worth in what one woman's response or reaction to him is. He doesn't gush with compliments; he isn't always available; he doesn't give too much; and he knows he isn't going to die if a woman says "no" to him. More, his attitude is, yeah, I'd like to go out with you, but if I can't, that's OK -- I'm a busy guy, with exciting things going on, and lots of other options.

An Eventful Day

2009-07-17T05:08:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was an eventful day for me.

It started with a friend, CYM. He had his gallstones removed. This is considered a minor surgery considered today's advanced medical technology. What the doctor did was to cut a few incisions, then insert a tiny camera (For looking around) and a vacuum tube to suck out the stones.

Fairly minor and safe. But CYM died due to complications from this surgery. Somehow, a few hours after his surgery, he complained of heart palpitations and difficulty in breathing. The doctor noticed that his blood pressure was dropping and blood sugar level highly levitated.

Another surgery was performed because the doctor suspected internal bleeding as the cause of his dropping blood pressure. Sure enough, he detected my friend's liver was slowly bleeding. A majority of his veins from his liver were slowly bleeding.

Later, CYM's kidneys started to fail due to lack of blood flowing to the kidney. Then failed totally and the doctor had to order dialysis.

Somehow, to cut the story short, he died within hours later. I'm so sorry for his entire family. Especially his frail mother whom his family members said did not know how to break the sad news to. I just hope his mom would take the news calmly.

Yesterday too saw another friend,LSF, a girl, entered a mental asylum due to double personality. As her old self, she would be pleasant and gentle. Once another personality take over, she would become very aggressive and violent. She would even beat up her boss! Something in the fantasy of some of us. Right?

All's not that bad when I stumbled upon a long lost friend, YYS. At the same hospital where my first friend had his surgery. His wife bore him a baby girl. His second child. Both girls.

And while in the hospital too, I've received another news of yet another friend who delivered a baby boy this time, at another hospital. So yesterday was an eventful day for me.

Strangulated Feeling, the poem, now, the Video!

2009-06-18T16:55:00.000-07:00

A few posts below, or here, I posted that The Best Websites Around sent me a poem via email, of a physically disabled friend, who was in love with a girl, but whom dare not confess his love for her.

I've promised to make a video out of the poem and here it is, the poem titled a Strangulation Feeling.

Being physically challenged is not a sin. They have their rights too, and a place for living. And that includes love. They have a right to love and be loved. Rather to suffer in silence, its better to express your love. Yeah, the fear of losing her is great. Its better to not have her love than entirely not have her as a friend anymore, you may reason. At least, you'll still be a ble to see her from time to time.

But don't you think if you continue to live like this, you will suffer even more? The pain of yearning for someone but not being able to have them? To cut the pain short, confess. If she accept, its your dream come true. If not, move on. Its easier to handle than you think.

But then, its only my humble opinion. Do what you deem best for yourself.

Meanwhile, enjoy the video.

If You Love Someone . . .

2009-06-05T21:47:00.000-07:00

Received this e-mail from a friend, Kevin. Thanks, bud! Now, I've something for my blog :)

If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous…
then it’s not love…it’s – Infatuation

If you love someone because you think that you shouldn’t leave him because
others think that you shouldn’t..then it’s not love…it’s – Compromise

If you love someone because you think that you cannot live without his touch…
then it’s not love…it’s – Lust

If you love someone because you have been kissed by him…
then it’s not love…it’s – Inferiority Complex

If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings…
then it’s not love… it’s – Charity

If you love someone because you share every thing with him…
then it’s not love…it’s – Friendship

but if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable, and you cry for him, that's -LOVE!

Maxence, a young French singer

2009-05-08T04:27:00.000-07:00

Introducing....Maxence, a talented singer from Paris, and is only 13 years of age. He was 12 when he sang the song (Please view embedded video).

The song is written by Anthony Johnson from UK. I love to expose talented people to encourage them to perform even better and better. Here's the video. Enjoy! Translated lyrics at the bottom of video.

V1:
Ooh, I sit here all alone
No-one to hear my distress
I feel so abandoned

And you, do you ever feel it too?
The innocence and recklessness
Give way to the suffering

CHORUS:
Another day, another night
I'll wait forever
Until you come here

V2:
Yesterday, to me, seems so far away
All those games we played
Seem to fade awy

MIDDLE PART:
I cling to my memories
That fill my heart
And help me to cope
There is too much love I have to share
then I see that nobody is there
Just my thoughts of the past
the fear visits me once again

CHORUS:
Another day, another night
I'll wait forever
Until you come here

ENGLISH PART:
I just wait here every day
I just wait here every night
There's no sense in what I do
I just sit and wait for you
To take me home

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Strangulated Feeling

2009-05-03T08:21:00.000-07:00

The Best Websites Around messaged me and this is what she wrote:-

Hi, I would like to submit a love poem to you so that you can post it on your site. The resembles your blogpost "Life is short" to some extent. Let me know how can i send the poem to you. Thanx for your nice blog. Keep it up.

Of course I'll post it on my blog if its good. A day later, I received an email from her. This is the content of the email:-

Dear Friend,

The Poem that I want to submit is written by close friend who doesn't want to disclose his name. He is actually Physically disable & is in love. So he has written the poem.

The poem is about a Secret Feeling which he can't express to his near & dear ones and even to my beloved. The Poem is as follows:

STRANGULATED FEELING

A secret feeling I can’t express,

Without expressing I can’t repress

To express it is really hard

While repressing it- I’ve become a bard.

Wanna express my love to her all the time

But it’s so hard to express even a single time.

Don’t know the way to vent my love

The only hope is God above.

There is no medium, no outlet

To call my love for a simple date,

Can’t say my love to my love,

Though she is gentle like a dove.

Social bounds- so hard to break

So many barriers- tough nut to crack

Circumstances- never went my way

Could see the hope just fading away

All because I have no right

For I’m disable, I have no might.

I'm sorry for your disabled friend. I don't know what disability he suffers. But I feel he should not look down on himself merely because he is physically challenged.

Physically challenged people have rights to love and to be loved, to make friends and have a normal social life. In order for people to accept us, we must first accept ourselves. In order for people to love us, we must also firstly love ourselves.

As I've promised, I'll make a video out of this poem. Hope your friend will love it. Stay tuned!
Please give me some time to make the video. I want to make this video a good one!

Life Is Short

2009-04-17T03:30:00.000-07:00

Okay, this touching mail was sent to me by my cousin brother. Its hard to resist not to post it over here. Love can be great. Love can be blind. And this is love at its best!

Beautiful Lesson !!!!!!!!

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US .
Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medications.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.

In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care
of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.

At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests.The pain do not let her to be standing up for long periods.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.

Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
kiss passionately, love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

What About love...

2009-04-15T07:49:00.000-07:00

I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I cant tell you what you're feeling inside
I cant sell you what you don't want to buy
Somethings missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

...and the video that caused all the ordeal....Million Dollar Lesson

2009-04-02T06:52:00.001-07:00

My ordeal didn't actually end after I got hold of a new laptop and modem. I stubbornly upload the 'cursed' video again to Metacafe.

After the fifth or six try did I manage to successfully uploaded the entire video to Metacafe as the internet connection kept disconnected by its own. Imagine the frustration of having to wait for 15 mins (upload speed was so slowww...zZzzZZ) and nearly halfway through, suddenly the internet was disconnected! Not once but up to five or six times!

At long last, my video was uploaded and a the following day, my internet connection went completely dead! I thought it could be the modem, so I kept resetting the modem. Nah, it was working fine. It could be the wireless router. Nah, I directly connected the broadband jack top my laptop. Still no signal. Lastly, after fumbling, through trial and errors for a few hours, I connected the phone line to a phone. No dial tone. So, my line was dead! The lightning killed it too. Only, it died a slow death.

A quick call to the telephone provider solved all the problems, albeit a few days later. My schedule was tight so I delayed calling the provider. And they arrived the next day after my call.

Ah, so, all's well for now. Here's the video that caused me all the trouble and ordeal. With time, I hope to polish up on my skills. While watching this video, do me a favor guys. Please try not to fall asleep ;)

Especially to all my Entrecard friends who consistently dropped by my blogs to drop their cards. Yeah, I've been missing for a week. You know, I love to make videos. Just when I've made a video, chose the right audio, pictures and story line (Motivational Video), and was in the process of uploading it to the web (Metacafe), then the rain starts. Just when the video was successfully uploaded and was awaiting confirmation, the sound of thunders could be heard far over the horizon.

Patiently, I waited for the confirmation message when suddenly, a deafening claps of thunder roared, the sound so near, I thought I was struck by lightning in my very own bedroom. Luckily, God didn't want me to be with him in Heaven so soon (He must have feared that I would cause havoc in Heaven :) But he didn't spared my modem. And PC. So, I've lost both my PC and modem to Mother Nature.

Now , I've got hold of another PC, how, you may ask, that's easy. I enter a shop, and asked for a new PC, and then PAY UP! That's all. That's real easy right? . Poor me already so poor. Now, I'm made poorer by Mother Nature. On the bright side, I'm still able to bash away at the keypads. The lightning didn't get to me. If it did, it won't be that easy to replace, my delicate body against lightning. Life must go on.

I Think I'm Falling

2009-03-06T03:47:00.000-08:00

Speaking of randomness, I was browsing youtube when a video caught my eyes. This music video was 'recommended' to me by Youtube. This is one of their features, to recommend videos to you based on your browsing habits. And this video was recommended to me.
I haven't heard of this song b4 this, and hey, this is interesting...so, I decide to share it here. Enjoy!

The Invitation, the poem...

2009-02-28T01:43:00.000-08:00

I received a message from Sushi Freak (link) the other day.

"...wanted to share something with you that you may enjoy.

This is my favorite love poem. It speaks to your posts on crushes and unreturned love and I think you will like it."

Well, nobody send me a poem before. Its too good for me to enjoy myself, so I'd decided to share it with all of you out there. Enjoy! And, thanks for visiting my blog !!!

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Sushi Freak includes the following link to the original author of the poem.

Having a Crush?

2009-02-20T08:12:00.000-08:00

Crushes can turn up at any time and reduce you to a nervous wreck. Here's how to cope.

Crushes are addictive - they make life exciting, and give you hope and focus. This is why we let ourselves make the same mistakes over and over again, it is the thrill of the chase, except it is often more of a loiter!

The Symptoms:

You love them yet you don't even know them;
All you can think about is them and what if...;
You've planned your whole future;
You follow them round like a puppy on your lunch break;
You go red whenever you see them;
You lose the power of speech and co-ordination in their presence;
Butterflies in your stomach;
Pounding heart;
You stammer/stutter something like "have you got the time?" at them;
You imagine hours of conversations with them.

How to cope

Try not to tie yourself up in knots about this - you've set yourself up with a fantasy relationship, but that's all. The emotions feeding this fantasy can seem very real, but the advantage is you don't have to deal with the actual person. It's like a sexual encounter without the real-life hassles.

It is fairly unlikely to turn into reality as often crushes are formed on the unobtainable; they may be attached, a famous film star or totally unsuitable. You have to accept that this romance will never exist outside of your own head. Often, just confiding in someone you trust will help you get things in perspective.

If things get too intense try to limit your time spent in their company. In time, you'll get a grip on this fantasy, and see it as a learning experience about some powerful emotions. If anything, it'll work in your favour when it comes to dealing with real life, realistic relationships.

Unobtainable crushes can hurt like hell - the object of your affection may walk past like you don't even exist or, perhaps worse, notice your drooling and laugh about you with all their mates. If this happens, deal with the rejection - treat yourself, see your mates or curl up at home with a DVD of your choice.

On the practical side, try to fill the time you would otherwise spend thinking about your crush. Plan your day. Promise yourself some crush-free time, and set up a reward afterwards. Once you've defined the boundaries, a crush like this can be a positive experience. One that can set you up to deal with the emotional side of future, more realistic relationships.

Don't Look Away: A Child Abuse Awareness Video

2009-01-04T07:13:00.000-08:00

*I happened to stumble upon this vide on youtube, was deeply touched, and decides to post it here for the benefits of all the children of the world, particularly those who were abused and felt unloved. I encourage those who felt the same way to also highlight this video in their blogs to spread the message of love to those innocent victims. And those adults that abuse children to please stop it.

**For The Children**

For all the children who've lost their innocence...
Because of unthinkable cruelty and ignorance.

For all the little ones who cannot sleep...
Because of the horrible secrets they have to keep.

For all the ones who find it hard to eat...
When their angel face has been broken and beat.

For the tears that fall steadily when nobody sees...
And the child in the corner hugging her knees.

For the infants who are beaten before they can talk.
For the babies who know pain before they can walk.

For all the smiles that have been stolen away...
For all the children who are afraid to play.

For the adults who carry around their childhood bruises...
And the many abusers with their heartless excuses.

For anyone who acts out to suppress the grief.
For the ones who damage themselves to find relief.

For the ones who only want love and receive hate.
For the ones who suffer when the hour is late.

For every punch, bite, or burn...
And everytime a child "has to learn..."

For the sparkle of hope in a child's bruised eye...
When he looks up at the sky and feels he can fly.

For every hour, for every lie...
For every heartfelt plead or cry...

For all the blind eyes that pass them by...
For every young heart that has to die...

I pray for the pain to be forever a forgotten nightmare.
I pray that every child can be safe, and without a care.
I hope you find courage through everything life brings you...
And I mourn those who've died before the world even knew.

There is no amount that can add up to what these lives are worth...
May God condemn the ones who injure his angels on Earth.

How To Show Someone You're Interested

2008-12-30T04:15:00.000-08:00

by Mike Hardcastle
for About.com

All you need is an attraction to another person and the desire to show them how you feel.

Here's How:

1. Create opportunities for you to see each other. This might include secretly waiting in the hall or sitting near him/her at lunch.
2. Make eye contact and smile!
3. When you pass him/her in the hall, say 'Hi!'
4. Get to know some of his/her friends
5. If you have a class together, ask him/her a question about it.
6. Ask him/her about something you know s/he is interested in.
7. Ask if s/he wants to hang out sometime.

Tips:

1. If you're like me, sending these signals can be scary. Start small and work your way up to the tougher steps.
2. Don't set yourself up to get hurt, make sure you haven't put your entire self-worth into whether or not s/he responds to your signals.

The Wallet ...

2008-12-28T07:42:00.001-08:00

When I was little, I had wanted to write a love story, and I had wanted it to be the most romantic love story ever.

One day after school, I sat down and began my mission, my masterpiece was going to be a reality, I remember thinking.

The story was of a young school girl. One day, after school, she walked home. Unlike most afternoons, on that day, she stumbled upon a wallet. Picking it up, she opened the wallet and in it was a picture of a boy, about her age, and very smart looking. She tried to look for an address, and flipped the picture over. A love poem greeted her. I was determined to pen the most romantic poem to match the picture, but alas, till this day, I am still 'looking' for the most romantic poem of all...

Anyhow, the poem warms her to the boy. There was something in the boy that caught her fancy, was it his eyes, or was it the poem he penned at the back of his picture? She couldn't tell.

Soon, she caught herself staring at the picture all the time, even during lessons. How could she find him? Where does he live? What's his name?

One night, something strange happened...

The boy in the picture appeared in her dream, told him his name was Joseph, and he lived a few blocks away. And he asked her in her dream, would she mind meeting him at a park nearby their homes?

Her reaction was of course what you guess it would be, she waited for this Joseph after school the following day and hoped that her dream the night before was for real.

She couldn't belief her eyes when soon, this boy did walk by the park! She was so excited she drop some books she was holding. The boy, being a nice gentleman ( the way I wanted him to be), stride up to her, gave her the warmest smile ever, and helped her with her books. Oh my! Her heart were pounding, she felt so sure he could tell she was flushing. Could he hear her heart beat which was beating wildly too?

I then proceeded to make the two characters met regularly at the park, in the evening, after school. And the fun times they had together, helping each other with the home works, and playing games together when there were no homeworks.

Like some other love stories, I was going to drop the bombshell...if the readers haven't guessed already. How come the boy only appeared in the evenings? Why can't he come out on Sunday mornings?

All fun things, sweet things, romantic things, great things must come to an end...oh so sad! One night, Joseph appeared in her dream. In it, he looked so smart, his eyes sparkled like diamonds, there seem to be an aura of light about him and he flashed his sweetest smile on her, as usual. Then, lowering his head, he told her he need to make a confession. Its time for him to leave. The door to Heaven is opened and a guardian angel was there to guide him back to the Lord... The wallet she found that fateful day. He did not accidentally drop it. He was cycling home after school one day, and a car suddenly appeared from nowhere and rammed into him. His wallet flew off at the impact. He got up, but discovered to his horror that the people nearby could not see nor hear him. Later, he discovered he had died in the accident.

Joseph then told the young girl he saw her picking up his wallet and caught her staring at his picture all the time. He thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he felt 'honoured' each time she looked at his picture. Somehow, he learned to enter the dreams of the living, and that was how he entered her dream. But, it was time for him to say good bye.

Yeah, I was guilty of making the same scene, the girl pleading for him to stay, she was crying tons of tears, and all that stuff. And that was my unpublished love story that I wrote when I was very young.

How To Cope with Unrequited Love

2008-12-16T06:54:00.000-08:00

Sometimes the person you're in love with doesn't love you back. Believe it or not, it happens to almost everybody. In any case, unrequited love is painful: It can even feel like torture. Find out how to make the best of it with these tips.

Limit the amount of time you spend with the person who doesn't love you. If you can, don't see them for a while.
Come to terms with the fact that they don't share your romantic feelings. You need to accept that it's just not meant to be so you can move on with your life.
Try writing a mantra such as "It's time to move on" on a slip of paper and placing it in your jacket pocket. Every time you reach into the pocket, pull out the slip of paper, recite the words in your mind, and put it back into the pocket. This will help reinforce your commitment to getting on with the rest of your life.
Stay busy. Take up a new hobby such as painting, skateboarding or playing the drums. Join a sports team or work your frustrations out through exercise. It doesn't matter whether it's running, swimming or squash: Find something you like and commit yourself to it. Both your body and your heart will feel better.
Surround yourself with those who do love you. This could be your parents, grandparents, siblings, other friends or even pets. Don't be afraid to ask them for a little bit of extra moral support.
Hang around with friends who make you laugh. Chances are, at least one of your friends is brilliant at getting your mind off of the person who's causing you pain. Let them help you not take life too seriously.
Take some time each day to focus on a few of your good qualities. Remind yourself that you're a great person even if someone out there doesn't like you in a romantic way. Think about what other qualities you'd like to have -- more confidence, better taste in music, better dance skills, etc. -- and set some goals about attaining them.
Remind yourself that it would not be any fun to be with someone who didn't feel as strongly about you as you did about them. Think about what love should like and notice how equality plays a big part. You deserve to be treated the way you want to be treated!
Remember another emotionally difficult situation you've been through and how you got through it. Adopt some of the strategies you used in that situation to help you heal from this heartbreak.
Take a little time to nurture yourself, whether it's with a good few good books or movies, some extra time with friends or simply getting a bit more sleep.
When you're ready, start hanging out with other people you'd consider dating. Give yourself the chance to fall in love again and you undoubtedly will.

How To Know When It's Love

2008-12-16T06:40:00.000-08:00

Found this piece of article on the web. And decides to publish it here because some of the advices are what I'm using. What irony!

You feel very strongly for another person and want to know if what you're feeling is the real deal. Ask yourself these difficult questions.

Here's How:

Ask yourself: 'Would I be willing to let her/him go if I believed it was the best thing?'
Ask yourself: 'Am I willing to wait for this person if s/he is not ready to have sex?'
Ask yourself: 'Would I feel the same way if s/he gained weight?'
Ask yourself: 'Am I willing to sacrifice my dreams to allow her/his dreams to come true?'
Ask yourself: 'Do I respect and admire her/him?'
Ask yourself: 'Would I feel the same way if s/he got sick?'
Ask yourself: 'If you two were in an argument, would you feel the same way?'
If you answered 'No' to any of these questions, think about why you gave that answer. Is it a lack of trust? Is it because you're afraid? Is it selfishness? Do you need more time to get to know each other?
If you answered 'Yes' to all of these questions, wow, you feel very strongly about this person. It sounds like you're in love!

The Wife That Comes Back Alive

2008-11-13T03:41:00.001-08:00

A funeral service is being held in a church for a woman
who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pall-bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan.

They open the casket and find that the woman is actually still alive. She lives for ten more years and then dies.

A ceremony is again held at the same church and at the end of the ceremony, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket. As they are walking, the husband cries out, " WATCH OUT FOR THAT WALL !"

"I now pronounce you man and wife ".

Love Thoughts

2008-09-23T09:29:00.000-07:00

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.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Marriage Passbook

2008-09-15T03:06:00.000-07:00

Received this inspired story from Kevin. Thanks bud. Worth a read.

Marriage Passbook

Jocelyn
married William this day. At the end of the wedding party, Jocelyn's
mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With $1000
deposit amount.

Mother: 'Jocelyn, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your
marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in
your new life, put some money in.
Write down
what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the

more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do
the others with William.
When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've

had.'

Jocelyn shared this with William when getting home. They both thought
it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit
can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for William after marriage
- 1 Mar: $300, salary raise for Jocelyn
- 20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: $2000, Jocelyn got pregnant
- 1 Jun: $1000, William got promoted
.
.
.
.
..... and so on...

However,
after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.
They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most
nasty people in the world.... no more love...
Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Jocelyn talked to her Mother:

'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine
how I decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother:
'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you
really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember
the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day?
Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record
of such a poor marriage.'

Jocelyn thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the
queue and planning to cancel the account.

While
she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record.
She looked,
and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and
happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears.
She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to William, asked him to
spend the money before getting divorce.

The
next day, William gave the passbook back to Jocelyn. She found a new
deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I
notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much
happiness you've brought me.'

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

Do
you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not
ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone
thru all the good years in their life.

How can i tell if she is attracted to me?

2008-08-21T04:19:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-21T04:04:00.000-07:00

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?

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.

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

2008-08-20T05:05:00.001-07:00

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

2008-08-17T09:57:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-17T05:46:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-17T03:44:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T05:31:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T05:07:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T04:40:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T04:16:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T03:50:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-15T16:09:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-15T07:38:00.000-07:00

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.

To Put It Simply, I Want You

2008-08-15T07:10:00.000-07:00

by Iloveit
I want to be your companion
and walk hand in hand,
your strength enveloping mine.
Autumn leaves falling,
scuffing feet and laughter,
sharing nights, not finished by the dark.

I want to be your confidant
as you pen your deepest
thoughts, as your heartaches
bleed and finally break free.
Your dreams, I keep as if my own.
I want to smile as you smile
and giggle with you
at nothing at all.

I want to be your lover
and find the passions
that move you to action.
I want to be the softness
that induces you to trust.
I want to be the naughty
that makes you come back for more.
I want to please you.

I want to share your breakfast
and your dinner,
I want you in the shower
and in your bed and
with soft steps to bring you coffee
(I take mine black)
Your strong arms, the legs
that power your thrust,
your lips of pleasure,
these are the fuel of my desire

no it is no secret, my love,
and to put it very simply,
I want you.

Sweet Romantic Things To Do For Your Sweetheart

2008-08-15T06:02:00.000-07:00

By Kathryn D'Imperio

1. Leave little love notes or piles of candy when you visit each other. Stash them away where your honey will be sure to find them, whether in the car, under his/her pillow or in a travel bag.

2. Call just because you are thinking of him or her leave a cute message in the voicemail or send a text message with a sweet or seductive meaning. If you prefer to leave a message as opposed to talking, call when you know he or she is unavailable so a little something sweet is waiting upon return to the cell phone, home or office.

3. Send an email, or better yet, get old-fashioned and send a letter or a card through the mail to express your love. After all, who doesnt love getting mail (well, except for bills!) as a surprise?

4. When you are getting together for an evening or even for just a few minutes, pick up his or her favorite treat or snack, a specialty coffee or dessert as a sweet surprise. If you are going to rent a movie or spend some quiet time at home, get a few snacks to enjoy with a flick or some television.

5. Speaking of renting movies, surprise your sweetheart with a movie you pick out that you know he or she would really enjoy. I often have a difficult time making up my mind about which movie to rent, so it would definitely be a huge but much appreciated step if I brought one over that I knew he would like.

6. You know those sweet things you think of when you are together or just thinking about your honey? Well, next time a thought pops in your mind, voice it! Girls especially love to know what wonderful things go on in the inner workings of their guys minds, so chances are, guys may also enjoy a few catch phrases.

7. When you spend time together, help each other out with chores to free up more time to spend together. Sometimes lending a hand can even be fun when you are both working together.

8. Swap massages, or simply give your partner a massage if you get the idea that he or she has had a long day. Foot massages and back rubs can do wonders for relaxing people and alleviating stress. Many males seem to enjoy having their backs gently scratched or rubbed softly as a means of helping them to relax.

9. Bring home take-out from a favorite dining establishment after a long day so the two of you can enjoy some food in the comfort of your own home. It isnt quite as romantic as cooking it yourself, but it is definitely a nice gesture.

10. Pick wildflowers or give a single rose or carnation for no reason. I even found a four-leaf clover once to give to my sweetheart.

12. Do something you may not want to, simply because it is important to him or her. This can be anything from attending a show or an event to doing a chore, giving up a bad habit or just trying something new. Find out what is important to him or her if you dont already know, and make it happen.

13. Spend time with his or her family. The seriousness of a relationship can sometimes be gauged by how one interacts with his or her partners family. Spending time at your honeys familys home can also serve to strengthen your relationship.

14. Spend extra time getting readydress up or wear something that you know your sweetheart loves to see on you.

15. Snuggle up and take a nap together. There is nothing quite like falling asleep and waking up in the arms of the one you love.

16. Play romantic music and dance together. Slowly dancing around the room to a favorite song can mean so much more when it is completely unexpected.

17. Go on a picnic! Gather your favorite foods, drinks and desserts, a comfortable blanket and some utensils, plates, cups and napkins and head out for the park on a beautiful day. Go for a walk in the park while you are there and enjoy all of the nature around you.

18. Carry his or her photo in your wallet. Keep your sweetie present at all times by putting a photo of him/her or the two of you together in your wallet, at work, in your car or wherever you think you would most like to see it.

19. Bring your sweetheart to visit places you came to know and love in your childhood. Parks, playgrounds, the zoo, pumpkin patches, museums, amusement parks, beaches, boardwalks and any other attractions that you enjoyed as a child can bring back happy memories to share with your significant other.

20. Share your daydreams. Whatever makes your heart soar at thoughts of the future, consider sharing those ideas with your special one. Daydreaming together can be a very romantic and emotional experience, whether it is fully in jest or in a degree of serious contemplation.

21. Spray a little bit of your perfume or cologne on his or her pillow. You will be on each others minds to begin with, but the lingering scent after you have gone separate ways for the night will bring sweeter dreams than usual.

22. Send romantic ecards to your sweetheart. If you are already intimate, send sensual ecards!

What Is Love?

2008-08-15T05:39:00.000-07:00

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."

"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."

"Love is hugging. Love is kissing. Love is saying no."

"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more."

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them."

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

"I let my big sister pick on me because my mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her."

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."

"God could have said magic words to make the nails fall off the cross, but He didn't. That's love."

Tell Tale Signs of Guys Interested In You!

2008-08-15T05:15:00.000-07:00

1. Examine his body language. If he likes you, you may see that he leans towards you. Notice if he shows off in your presence. For example:
* He may approach you and try to impress you, or get your attention by getting in your personal space. If he likes you, and you like him, neither of you will step back. If he ever says, “hey watch this” or something else there’s a big chance he likes you. A bad habit that people sometimes do is tried to put other boys down to make them look good.
2. Notice his eye contact. If he likes you, he’ll try to catch your eye and hold it. This can be uncomfortable if you don’t like him (or vice versa). If you feel like you have held eye contact just a fraction of a second longer than you would with anyone else, or if he looks away quickly, then there is something there.
* His pupils may dilate if he likes you, but this is quite hard to pick up on, and you might come across as acting strangely by looking that closely into his eyes.
3. Be aware of touching. He might put his hand on your arm when he laughs, or not move his legs if it happens to touch yours, or he may hug you for small things - all are good signs of a guy liking you.
4. Watch for him showing interest in things you like and do. Notice the way he treats you - does he playfully tease you, or call you names, just to try and get your attention? It’s natural for a guy to tease when he likes a girl, but remember, someone can still tease someone, even if they aren’t attracted to them. But remember, some guys simply will not tease you.
5. Check for signs of nervousness. Nervous laughter, sweaty palms, fidgeting, looking away quickly when you notice if he is watching you are all good signs of an attraction towards you and that he is nervous about making an impression on someone he fancies. Also notice if you call his name, does his head snap around right away or does it turn gradually?
6. Smile- A big smile in return is a good sign. See if he always ends up in the same part of the room as you; perhaps he keeps going out of his way to bump into you and to flash his smile in your direction.
7. Pay attention to his friends. If they know he’s interested in you, they might tease him subtly when you’re around, hint to you that he likes you, or even try to find out if you like him. Study their reactions to your presence - do they smile? Do they turn to him? Do they smirk in a way that suggests they know something that you don’t? If so, then there’s a good chance that they know that he really does like you.
8. Have a friend ask him. Try to get someone who is basically unknown to the guy ask him what he thinks about other girls - the conversation doesn’t necessarily have to involve you, but you could ask your friend to drop subtle hints, or try in any way possible to find about anything they can about his feelings towards you.
9. Be open! Give him room to approach you and talk to you - it can ruin the situation if he hasn’t got any opportunity to do so, for example if your friends are giggling in the background, or you are never on your own.
10. Pay attention to how many times he uses your name. If you talk to him often, watch how many times he uses your first name. People tend to use your name to get your attention, and it shows that they think about you! For example, if you say something, and he replies with “haha, nice, so-and-so” it means he thinks about what he is saying more than if he replies with “haha, nice.” The second doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you, but using your name is usually a tell-tale sign.
11. Notice his behavior in conversation. Sometimes when guys ask you questions and other people distract the conversation or cut him off, he’ll just forget about it. If you notice that he keeps asking or changing the subject back to the question until you answer, then he may like you - but if the topic is something serious, he may just want to know out of curiosity.
12. Notice these tell-tale signs:
* If he wants to talk to you all the time,
* If he starts acting nicer when you’re around him,
* If he says yes to all the things you ask him to do,
* If he treats you differently to other girls,
* If he looks at you a lot every time you smile or laugh.
* If he acts immature around you, like poking, teasing or playful flirting,
* If he seems to always want to hang out with you,
* If he gets closer with a body part, or if he tries to touch you,
* If you catch him peeking at you and he smiles,
* If he tries to make you laugh, or if he tries to copy you,
* If he walks up to you out of the blue and hugs you,
* If he tries to keep you in view for as long as possible, or tends to look around and stop when he finds you,
* If he subtly looks at you but makes it look like he is looking at the girl next to him,
* If he goes out of his way to talk to you, for example if he goes to the other side of the school to talk to you because he knows you have a class there.
* If you block him on instant messenger and stop talking to him, and he finds a way to talk to you,
* If he invites you to his birthday party or any kind of party,
* If you flirt with a friend of his when he can see, and he looks jealous or automatically flirts back,
* If he talks to you and wants to know how you’re doing,
* If he is nicer or tries to talk to your friends.
* If he asks about you to your friends when you’re not around
* If he asks you to dance with him at the dance.

Tell Tale Signs Of A Girl Interested In You.

2008-08-15T04:30:00.000-07:00

1. She will act differently around you depending on how confident she is. If she knows what she wants, she will be more agressive by talking to you more, staring you in the eye, touching you, and trying to be around you more. If she is the shy type, she will become quieter when you're around, laugh at your jokes more often, stare at you when your not looking, and overall just try to act cool around you while subtly flirting.
2. See if the girl acts nice to you and your friends, and if she laughs at your jokes often.
3. See if the girl squints at you when talking to you.
4. Watch if the girl stops conversations when you become in earshot. Also if she giggles a lot when you are around, she could like you.
5. Understand that some girls tease the guys they like; if she always has a snappy comeback for you and nobody else, or very few others, then she could like you.
6. If she starts to act differently or you catch her staring at you, she probably likes you.
7. If she lets you touch her, or tries to partner with you, it is a sure sign she is interested.
8. Consider if she seems to go out of her way to be around you.
9. Look her in the eyes, and see if she looks back at you. If she asks you why you were staring at her, its a sign that she doesnt really love you.
10. Try to note when shes talking to you, whether or not she is forgetful or notice.
11. See if she touches herself while looking at you. If she seems really turned on by something and you're the only one around, she probably likes something about you.
12. Some shyer girls might be too embarrassed to flirt with you. If this is the case, approach her yourself and try to build up her self-confidence with compliments. Don't get offended if she doesn't respond right away, she may be unsure of what to say.
13. If you catch the girl staring at you continuously, or glancing quickly up at you and looking away, she probably likes you but is too shy to speak her mind.
14. If she sees you staring at her and she turns around then she is probably shy and/or likes you.
15. If she starts spending a lot more time with you, or talking on the phone with you she's probably interested.
16. If she smiles at you when you see her and you don't really know her, this could be a sign she likes you (Always smile back)!
17. Both men and women may have what is called "Subconscious Mirroring". This means that she (and he too) will mirror your movements subconsciously while talking to you or just around you. (e.g, if you are sitting next to her in a school lecture, you cross your legs, and she does the same. You move your papers so that they are more on your kneecap then by your torso, she will rearange or reposition her papers in some way. You scratch your head, she twittles her hair.)

How To Tell That Special Someone You Love Them

2008-08-15T04:23:00.001-07:00

It might be hard to admit to a guy/girl that you are into them without giving too much away, and then they might take advantage. Well here is some ways you can prevent making a mistake and still be able to improve expressing you feelings

STEPS
1. You might want to do this in person...try to keep your eye on the person you are talking to. If you are the nervous type and might stutter or get sweaty and don't know how to express yourself too well, you might want to write an instant message/text but DO NOT MAIL IT.
2. When you start to talk make sure you guys aren't arguing, let them know how you feel about them, now don't over do and act like they are the last thing in the world. Let them know what is going on and why is it that you feel that way about them. Now don't rush and try to get them to get into a relationship.
3. When you're done expressing yourself, don't ask "now how do you feel about me?" that is up to them if they are willing to let you know or not.
4. If they have nothing to say to how you feel, move on.
5. If they do let you know how they feel about you, but it is not the same way you feel about them, don't stress it and don't make the mistake to take it back. Eventually they may feel the same way and if they don't, again just move on.

TIPS
* Do it when he or she is alone.
* Do it when he or she isn't busy.
* Do not just jump into that subject right away, wait awhile.
* Let them know that you guys need to talk.

CAUTION
* If he or she ignores the way you feel, too bad. Don't beg!
* Act like nothing happened if they ignore it, but yet act serious with them.
* Do not run away right after you tell them.
