 Do not lose your life

Don't lose your life when you're in a relationship. After all, if you don't have your whole, own self, you've got nothing to give and share with anyone else. So, even when it's brand-new and shiny, keep on doing the endeavors, like work or hobbies that have always been important to you. Keep up your platonic friendships and family relationships, and be sure you also get some quality time all by yourself, at least a couple days or nights a week.

Is She Attracted to You?

Many guys wonder whether women are attracted to them, mainly because women are much more subtle than guys when it comes to showing their attraction towards someone. However, once you know the secrets, spotting the signs is easy. Just one of these actions is enough to act on; more than one - then go for it! Here are the ways women may show that they like you:

1. When She Wants to Speak to You:

·      She will point her feet in your direction when standing up.

·      She may smile, or look away embarrassed, when holding eye contact.

·      She jerks her leg in your direction if sitting down with legs crossed.

·      She adjusts her posture - sitting up straighter and holding in her belly.

·      She faces you with her hips/legs towards you while sitting.

·      She opens up her body language to you while standing.

·      She brushes up against you unnecessarily when she passes.

·      She looks at you twice before approach.

·      She touches her hair when she notices you.

If you receive any of these gestures, definitely move in and begin conversation with her. The next aim is to move the interaction along to a point where the girl actually wants to continue pursuing a conversation with you. This may happen instantly, or it could take a while. If you have jumped straight in without any of the above signals, look for some of the below to know if she is interested.

2. If She is Interested in Extending the Interaction:

·      She asks your name.

·      She asks you other questions.

·      She responds with extended answers to your questions.

So those are the signs that she likes you enough to want to talk to you, but how can you tell if she actually wants to get physical with you?

3. If She is Sexually Attracted to You:

·      She strokes her neck when talking to you.

·      She gazes at your mouth.

·      She tilts head to the side when speaking to you.

·      Her pupils dilate.

·      She laughs at your jokes, even if they aren't funny.

·      She is happy listening to you even when you are talking nonsense.

·      She holds eye contact with you and doesn't look around the room or at her friends. (Note - if she is nervous and it is just not her character to hold strong eye contact, she could still be interested.)

·      She is doesn't mind you touching her and entering her space.

·      She is willing to leave her friends and stay with you.

·      She laughs and hits you on the shoulder when you tease her.

·      She looks at you in a dreamy way.

·      She asks if you're single.

·      She uses your name in conversation.

·      She leans in towards you.

Knowing the signs that a girl is attracted to us is very useful, as it not only tells you whether or not to make the move but also helps to avoid missing crucial opportunities. Your success rate with women will increase significantly, just by knowing how to read them.

Simple Facts About Falling In Love

We are meant to live a life of love. However, no matter how successful some are in other aspects of their lives, they don't feel it's realistic to have the same success in love.

But being in love is the most realistic thing you can do. It energizes your life, fills you with positivity, creates generosity and makes every moment beautiful. The body heals the heart is happy. The real question is, why aren't we in love all the time? What keeps it away?

The following steps will show you how easy it is to open your eyes and find love wherever you go.

The one right besides you

Most of the time we are searching for the right person and don't take a moment to stop and see who is right in front of our eyes.

Look at a person who is close to you right now, anyone it happens to be.

Notice the ways in which you push him away. Stop doing that.

Allow the two of you to be together in whatever way you are.

Do the same thing tomorrow with someone else.

We dismiss so many people who are in our worlds, while waiting for the "right one" to appear. The more we can be "right" with everyone, the sooner we'll find just what we're looking for.

Playing at love

So many complain that they are not loved. The reason for this is they are so busy playing games their partner never knows who they really are.

Notice what games you play in relationships, and what games you demand others play. See if you are in love with the person, or with the game you are both playing right now.

Become aware of the difference between who you are and the games you play. Let the games and be who you are. Who you are is always loveable. Itâ€s the games that get in the way.

Letting him come and letting him go

One obstacle to falling in love is the tendency to hold on to what is wrong. We grasp and cling to whatever we have, preventing the right one from coming to us.

When someone comes into your life (or day) practice letting him come.

Enjoy him/her for whoever he is.

When it is time for a person to go, practice letting him go. Do not turn this into an experience of rejection or loss. It is simply time for him to go.

Do this with yourself as well. Let yourself come and go freely, not tying yourself in chains. The more we free others and ourselves, the more easily we fall in love.

Putting your baggage down

Many feel that love is not possible unless all their demands are met. They can be quite amazed to discover that these demands don't lead to happiness. They may even be obstacles to falling in love.

Take a look at what you feel is absolutely necessary in relationships. Realize this is baggage you are carrying that may be keeping all kinds of people and possibilities away.

Let one of these demands subside. At first let it go for just one day. (Remember you can always take it back again). Now try another day. The more you do this the more lighter and happier you will feel. And the more space you will make for all kinds of new people, possibilities and situations to come your way.

Giving gifts

What gifts do you give others in relationships? And what do you hope to receive in return? It's important to give openly as well as to receive.

Find something new you can give to somebody. Give it. Do this everyday. It does not have to be fancy or expensive. Do this with all kinds of different people. Do it quietly without fanfare and without expecting something in return.

Do this with yourself as well. Each day take a moment to find out what kind of gift you would like today. (A walk in the park, new lipstick, time with someone you care for.) Give this to yourself each day. Although this exercise is simple, it is extremely powerful. Doing this daily in your relationship can turn everything around. By living with this open, generous mind, all kinds of other gifts come to you naturally.

Making friends with yourself

Many say they are lonely, even with a partner at their side. This is simply because they have not yet made friends with themselves. Once they make friends with themselves and are able to be who they are, loneliness disappears.

Make friends with yourself. Spend time noticing who you are. Accept all parts of yourself. Stop judging and rejecting what is going on inside. Understand you are perfect just as you are. Then choose to do the same in relationships. Choose to have relationships with those who want and appreciate just what you are.

What do men want?

What are men looking for in a relationship with a woman?

I mean the average man. The man you will fall for – fall in love with him.

In my opion and according to my own experience, this is what a man want. Really want!

Men want someone they can be crazy, madly, deeply in love with— and they want someone who feels the same way about them. 

Men do not want to be alone. For this matter, nobody wants to be alone. We were created to be with someone.  Men want to be part of a home and family and they want to belong somewhere.  Women are much better at making a home for themselves than men are.  When a man has a broken heart, he goes to another woman.  When a woman has one, she usually goes to her girlfriends.

Generally, men want to be with someone who is physically appealing, but what they really want is someone who takes care of herself, has some pride in her appearance, shows some style and taste in her clothes, makeup, and hair, and spends a little time making herself look as good as she can.  What he doesn’t want is someone who is so self-absorbed in herself, obsessed on her looks, and shallow in her outlook, she has no time or depth to notice him.

Men do not want to be with someone who is angry, yelling, and acting out.  They do not want a woman with a cold, edgy, or negative attitude.  They want to be with someone who is not a doormat, but who chooses to see more of the good in them than the bad.

Men love feminine women.  They love women who smell good, wear soft textures and who are truly woman!

Men are also sentimental creatures, just like us.  They desperately want to trust the person they give their heart to. 

Women who have charm, wit, and a deeply developed sense of humor are irresistible. Being with a woman that they can share laughter with makes men feel fearless.

Lastly, men want physical intinacy – but deeper than that – they want someone with a healthy, happy attitude about sex.  Combine that with the above and what do you have?  Men in love.  What men really want—is to be in love.

Twelve smart strategies to keep your relationship thriving.

Why do some couples seem so head-over-heels? It's not that their lives are any easier or more perfect than yours-- but they do know how to keep the daily grind from eroding their relationship. Get some of what they have by incorporating these happy-couple strategies into your love life.

1. Fall in love all over again. Make a conscious decision to be in love. The more you act as if you are in love, the more you will feel like you are.

2. Remember the good times. Treat your partner like you did at the beginning of your relationship. Make a list of all the things you used to enjoy doing together and add any new fantasies to the list. Plan for them and make them happen.

3. Help your partner feel more loved and secure in your love so that he or she can open up to you and express feelings and ideas without fear of being attacked or judged. Compliment, praise, and give a hug. Small gestures make the grandest statements.

4. Don't make unilateral decisions. You're a team in many ways, so act like one. Check in and make decisions together about things large and small. Be willing to compromise.

5. Be present. Train your mind to stay in the moment -- not at work, thinking about the new colour you want to paint your kitchen, or how it's time to take the dog to the vet.

6. Pay attention to your physical appearance. Take the time to stay in shape and look good for each o

7. Boost your compatibility. Couples in crisis focus on all the ways they are different, whereas those who are in love zero in on their similarities and think their differences are cute. Build compatibility by taking turns planning activities to do together. If you don't like your partner's choice, don't complain; it's your turn next.

8. Do not place blame. Replace blame and criticism with solutions and tenderness. Problem-solve together -- sit close, hold hands; touch each other's face or hair. Be playful. When was the last time you laughed together? Rent a comedy movie to tickle your funny bone.

9. Plan for sex. Spontaneity is great but smart couples know that good sex doesn't just happen. Like everything else, it takes time and planning.

10. Fact-find -- don't mind-read. You may think you know but you can't assume. You may believe he should know, but that's not fair, either. Always clear up misinterpretations and misunderstandings to make sure they don't throw you both off course.

11. Fight fair -- and by appointment only. Schedule a limited time to discuss a problem and confine your comments to that issue only. It's easier to relax and feel free to enjoy each other when you know you won't be ambushed by a litany of complaints and criticisms.

12. Prepare for checkouts. Even in the closest marriage, everyone needs time alone. Don't take it personally and don't make each other feel guilty if you need to spiritually and emotionally regroup. Just be sure to tell each other when you are checking out (max, one day) -- and when you're checking back in.

WHAT IS PUPPY LOVE?

To be very blunt about it, Puppy Love can also be referred to as "false love". Puppy love usually happens to younger couples that are inexperienced and/or very naive, although it has been known to happen to mature couples as well.

A relationship based on puppy love always involves lots of cute pet names for one another as well as an extreme need to make the relationship general knowledge; this is often achieved by, although not limited to, sitting on each others' laps and kissing in the public eye.

It is called puppy love because the feelings associated with it are similar to those you would have for a puppy dog. Soon enough, the novelty wears off.

Ways to Sharpen Your Sense of Humour

Adore your mate

Love, care, attraction and affection are what come to our mind when we talk about a relationship. Well a relationship is much more than that. It is admiring and adoring your mate, adoring beyond the physical appearance.

A relationship is about two individuals coming together in union for an everlasting bond. It is accepting one another with all their positive and negative aspect. When you are in a relationship you should adore your mate for what he or she is. Adoring your mate is appreciating the complete persona of a particular person. A relationship is accepting a person for what they are, all the good and bad qualities. You have to accept the person for his or her flaws. That is a true relationship.

Most of the relationships in today’s world end in a separation due to lack of adjustment and acceptance for each other. Many couples are unable to cope up with the faults of their partners. They only admire them for their good qualities and reject them for their negative characteristics. Should it be the way, certainly not? We should remember that no person is perfect. If people are good at certain things and have some positive traits they also have negative qualities. We should learn to accept and acknowledge both the positive and negative points of our partners. This is true love. If you really love your mate you are going to love him or her for each and every quality he or she has.

Most of us come into a relationship when we get acquainted to a person’s positive attribute which is very normal. But it is in later years that we come to know about a person’s negative trait. It is here we need to understand that no person is perfect and should take that person as he or she is. None of us are perfect. You should keep in mind that you too have faults and are being accepted as you are. So why can’t you be the same.

If you feel it difficult to take in the bad part of your partner just keep in mind the good part about him or her. And it will become very easy for you to take in the unpleasant portion of the relationship.

10 Steps to a Healthy Relationship

Follow these 10 tips and reap the benefits of a healthy relationship.

1.    Use your head, not just your heart, when picking a man and look at the whole package before making your choice.

2.    Know the difference between lust and love – it will save you a lot of heartache.

3.    Learn to voice your desires: Your partner isn't psychic and he can't make you happy unless you let him know what fulfils you.

4.    Work at your relationship: A close bond is forged through hard work and constant attention; it's not automatic.

5.    Don’t let yourself go: You don't have to bring sexy back but being clean and presentable goes a long way.

6.    Understand that your feelings may change over time: you won't stay drunk with joy forever but that doesn't mean you don't love each other.

7.    There is a difference between sex and intimacy: Sex is one avenue to intimacy. Intimacy involves talking and revealing every facet of yourself – the good, the bad and the ugly.

8.    Communicate, communicate, communicate! Talking about everything is the only way you'll deal with problems, maintain intimacy and know if you're on the same wavelength.

9.    Understand that you're a unit, but you're both also individuals and your partner is not responsible for your personal happiness – you are.

10.  Have a life outside your relationship.  Learn to apologise – even if you don't always say "sorry", making up after an argument is crucial.
