Keeping your relationship alive!
by Alan Murray on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 | Dating, Love, Relationship | No Comments
Meeting somebody and falling in love is a special time in your life. It can be easy to fall in love but how do you keep this going? Many couples fall into a routine and take each other for granted. You think you know what your partner is thinking and rely on that. Hidden feelings or resentment can linger in any relationship.
1. Keep your promises – Not following through on commitments is something that can be a source of anger. If you can’t keep a promise then talk to your partner about this. Don’t just let it lie and assume that will not bother about it.
2. Don’t push your partner away – Share your feelings, explain any dreams or fears you have to your partner. Explain to them what you want out the relationship and were you want it to head.
3. Don’t run down your partner either in front of them or behind their back. Everybody moans about their partner, but be careful as this can be a destructive thing in a relationship. Try to keep any criticism as constructive and remember if they do change make sure you appreciate it.
4. What hidden expectations has your partner got? You need to understand what they are, some people don’t like to share them but it’s all best out in the open. Do they want children? Do they expect you to earn more? Do they expect you to get married? Talking about subjects like this will help you understand your partner more.
5. Touching and kissing – Don’t let this two very important parts of a relationship go.
6. Sex! There is no way round it sex is very important to a relationship. Getting you to talk to each other and understanding what turns them on is really important. Talking about sex can be difficult especially if it is about something that is not right. Find a tactful way of mentioning something. Remember to praise the good parts of your sexual relationship.
7. If your relationship has hit a bad patch – think about the reasons for this – can you make changes to relive the pressures that are causing the problems? What are the things that initially attracted you to each other? Go back to the basics and go on from there. If you have had children try to make sure you have time with just you and your partner are together. Get the kids off to the grandparents and go out for a special dinner. Do you have a favorite restaurant that you went to when you were courting?
8. Your partner should be your best friend – What are your partners dream and hops for the future? If your partner is down and needs picking up then this is what you need to do! Be there for them when they need you.

Top 10 Signs of a Guy that you Should Date
by wildcherry on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 | Dating, Love, Relationship | No Comments
Most of the time when we date someone, we only look at their shortcomings. So here’s a list for those of you that’s looking for a good guy!
1. He is open to sharing his bad traits
He doesn’t appear to keep any secrets, he is willing to tell you things that might make a lesser man uncomfortable. A man like this has learned that complete self acceptance means your “flaws” define you, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
2. Love kids and is a good father figure
This not only shows quality of character but a level of commitment to others beyond himself. I know a guy that has three kids in two countries and doesn’t care about any of them. A good father figure means the kids can learn and listen to him how to be a good adult.
3. Is passionate but not angry
Passion and anger is often a mixed trait, you want a guy that is passionate about his life and dreams but not angry! Since it is often hard to identify passion from aggression, some businesses conduct interviews during a game of golf, and nothing brings out emotional outburst more than a nice slice. If you don’t happen to have a golf course handy, make him sit through a drama movie like “Dear John” and if he doesn’t punch something you might want to bet on this horse, if he cries too much then he might be a cry baby LOL!!
4. Respectful enough not to look at others while with you
Any guy that is out with you but can not control his eyes is a sorry excuse for a man.
5. Is Open to communication
Good communication is someone that not only is willing to listen but to truly “hear” your meaning. Don’t you just hate those people that don’t listen and are only waiting to talk!? Now, what did you say again?
6. Doesn’t get jealous, except when appropriate
It is important for him to show he actually gives a shit when you go to the “Chippendales” male strip show in Vegas, he may not even care but at least he has the wits to fake it well enough so you feel cared about.
7. Is different from you, expands your life
Being with someone different is crucial to growth because all of us need to push the boundaries of our innermost fears. Maybe, you love numbers and always get you taxes in months before they’re due, maybe he is an artist that hasn’t filed taxes in 10 years. This is a good match, you may need to relax your sphincter a bit, and he needs to stop hugging so many trees.
8. Able to grow with you
The ultimate gift is being with someone that is moving at the same speed you are. It doesn’t have to be in the same direction nessesarily, but there has to be growth. If one partner is stagnant and you are reaching for the stars there will inevitably be a time when you will grow so much, that one of you will be sabotage the relationship out of intimidation/frustration. Relationship balance is something we can control if aware of, although there is a limit and this is why, income gap, career gap and attraction gap, are potentially so dangerous. Don’t marry a gardener if you aspire to be a doctor.
9. Likes to exercise
Maybe you don’t exercise and if that is the case, damn it! You should!! Guys and girls that work out regularly are radically different than people that don’t.
10. Works to live not lives to work (unless it is his passion)
There is a fine line between someone that is a workaholic or has passion for their work. A workaholic is someone that works for works sake, the same reason an alcoholic drinks. It is a way to escape life, as long as they are “busy” or “drunk” life can’t “get them.” Someone with a passion for their work is someone you want to be around, someone that can inspire you!
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE out of the list is he should Accepts you the way you are
This is super important, he doesn’t like the way you look? Doesn’t like your job? Your clothes, Sister, or dog? Big problem, that will probably be reconciled by you picking him apart as well. Unfortunately, a lot of men and women will be fully accepting of their partner when the are in a good space themselves. The second they feel uncomfortable with their own life situation they will project this frustration upon you in a displacement maneuver. This when you maneuver them over to a mirror and force them to take a good long look!
Top 10 signs of a Woman who’s interested in You!
by wildcherry on Friday, February 26th, 2010 | Dating, Love | No Comments
Here are the top 10 signs a girl displays when she’s interested! These are in no particular order:
1–CONSTANT ATTENTION–If she’s taking every opportunity to go see you, in class, at work, or wherever, it usually means she’s taking time out of her day to check you out. Even if it isn’t 24-7, if she does it rather often (i.e., more often than your buddies go to see you regularly), it’s a good sign of interest. She usually makes it look casual, really; almost hard to tell that she had to blow off other responsibilities to see you. The only thing she WON’T blow off to see you for is to hang out with her girlfriends (unless she’s insanely in love with you). Calling is also indicative.
2–LOOKING–Dead give-away. If, as she walks by you, or you go by her, she sneaks a glance at you, and does this pretty often, she wants you. If it happens almost all the time (in mathematical terms, at least 80% of the time), it’s that she’s craving that attention mentioned above.
3–TOUCHING–Another good give-away. Now, there is friendly touching, which is an ocassional pat on the arm, back or shoulder. Friendly touching is usually quick and has very little contact. This is so the girl doesn’t give you the wrong idea. But if she’s interested, the time of impact will be greatly increased. She’ll keep her hand there for a good long while, and ocassionally will rub your back or arm.
4–PROXIMITY–If, when you hang out or are just talking, she stands/sits really close to you, that’s another good sign. Most girls who are just your buddies won’t do this, unless that’s their way. But, for my experiences, all the girls that were interested in me got up close and personal, some to the point that I could smell their breath (”You had tuna for lunch today, right?”). They love to get near you when they’re into you.
5–SUGGESTIVENESS–When a major social event comes near (parties, dances, get-togethers, etc.), they’ll waffle around the issue of going, but not having someone to go with. This isn’t all that common, especially if nothing happens in your town, but I’ve had this one used on me. Also, they’ll try and hint around getting your phone number or giving you theirs. One girl I knew asked to borrow my electronic organizer; when she gave it back, it said, “Call ” and had her number on it. She told me, “Just kidding.” Duh–if she was kidding, she wouldn’t have done that. The point is that they’ll usually be waffling around this issue. Some are more direct about it, though.
6–MIMICKING–Oftentimes, they’ll try and act the way you act, or do the things you do. For instance, with some of the more, shall I say, academically-challenged girls I’ve met, I’ll act totally different than they do (i.e., I don’t use “like” every four seconds). I am usually very formal and educated in my speech. Gradually, they became this way, too. I’ve said this before, ’cause it’s my greatest achievement–getting one of those inner-city gangbanger chicks to say “hypothesis” and “egotistical.” Now, THAT’S interest! Also, if you do something physical, and she does it often and consistently, it’s also a good sign. Speech patterns are better indicators, though.
7–BODY ORIENTATION and MOVEMENT–Kinda ties in with “Proximity,” but different. When the girl’s talking to you, she’ll lean towards you and try to really follow your conversation with body movements. Leaning is really common; movements that follow your conversation aren’t as common, especially with shy, uptight girls. But the majority will exhibit some enthusiasm. Such movements include changing facial expressions a lot (to avoid looking bored or fazed out), hand and arm flailing (looking interested), and shaking legs (not so common).
8–PUPPY EYES–Dead-give-away. If they give you the look, you’ve won the battle already. You know the look–when they look at you, wtih a smile, their head tilted downward and to the side, and look at you with those big eyes, with a “come-hither” look. It may be accompanied with a request to go to a social event or to her/your place.
9–TALKING ABOUT YOU–Good give-away. If your friends or her friends tell you about how much she’s talked about you, it means she’s interested and wants the world to hear it, for approval. And if she gets it (which she almost certainly will, unless you’re a real bastard, and even then she may still go for you), you’ll usually hear about it.
10–DRESSES NICELY ON OCASSION–If you’re going out, or are meeting her at a time you don’t normally see her, or if you only see her once every so often, an interested girl may dress nicer when seeing you. Kinda hard to tell when you’re in school, since she could be trying to attract others. But on those ocassions that you may see her outside of school, or outside of work, she may try and get some extra attention. Also, putting on a fragrance is greatly indicative. You’ll know it when she has it on–believe me, it’ll be everywhere.
How To Make A Girl Fall In Love With You
by wildcherry on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 | Dating, Love, Relationship | No Comments
The first tip for any man is to make a good impression. In your doing so, you don’t have to talk, dress or do the common things that all the Toms do to get a decent girl’s attention. Be unique, that’s all you need. Be a man of his own style. Dress decently - indecency can make one be mistaken for arrogance; watch your language - obscene language gives the impression of immaturity, being uncultured and cheap; be a man of good habits - don’t drink or smoke like any other loser.
How to make her fall in love with you? Take your time. Add some romance to your dating style.
Befriending and understanding the girl you are out to get is the next important thing. You have to understand that as a lady, she loves to be loved, adores to be adored and needs to be needed. This will move you closer to the girl and you’ll get to know what she’s into, what she likes and dislikes, and what her style is. Love is built upon friendship and it always leaves individuals better off having known each other should they break up.
A shoulder to lean on and a good friend that she can always turn to is all that a lady wants. Please don’t hesitate to be helpful and supportive. Be that friend who rekindles her zeal of hardworking and restoring hope back into her life when she looses hope. This above all other things will make you her daily vitamin simply because you bring out the best in her in terms of personality and character. In you, she’ll have found that friend whom she can open up to, share with and advice each other on the rights and wrongs, the dos and don’ts of life. Don’t forget to always be there to celebrate the good times, and to lend an ear when the girl needs you to listen as a friend.
Make the girl feel special; because she’s someone’s friend - your friend, and let her know that she too has touched your life in a unique way like no one else could. Compliment her for her company and for being there when you needed her, when you felt sad and all alone. Show appreciations for the comfort the girl offers you and for making you smile.
In your day to day talks, share your dreams, your world, and every aspect of your life with your girl. Always dream with her, build with her, and always cheer her on and encourage her. Tell your girl how you always think about her even when you try not to think about her. Let the girl know that she’s your first thing in the morning and the last thing when you go to bed at night.
Her knowing that you were thinking of her when you slipped beneath the softness of your blanket and gave in to the bliss of sweet dreams, will make her go ‘my my’ and her heart will sing your name all the year round.
Never fail to phone her, even when she least expects it. I once called some girl that I was interested in at four o’clock in the morning. When inquiring of what I was doing up so early, I told her I was in thirteenth heaven, where people think of their loved ones when they can’t sleep. Wow! First thing early the next morning, she was at my door with a king-sized hug for me.
No matter how many dates you take her, don’t make any elbow - exceeding moves after any date, just drop her home and with a friendly handshake, wish her good night. Don’t kiss her when she expects you to. Your respect as a gentleman will be earned on how patient you are with her when it comes to such matters as kissing her and accessing her inner graces.
The writing is on the wall that you want her, but you can’t have her just yet. Increase your demand. Try to show her that men are also hard to get at times. Make her realize that when she feels a little dizzy, a little tired, a little sad, a little sick, a lot bored and very much cold, she’s actually missing vitamin you. By this time, she’ll be so much into you and since love is truthful and is characterized by open and honest communication, honestly promise her your everlasting devotion, loyalty, respect, and your unconditional love for a lifetime. Prove to her that you’ll always be there for her, to listen and to hold her hand, and that you’ll always do your best to make her happy, and feel loved.
Remember, patience is the key to her heart; be like that gardener watching a fruit as it hangs on the tree, day after day admiring it, but, exercising tremendous self-discipline, neither feeling the fruit, nor pinching it, nor testing it to see if it is ready. And then, one day he holds out his hand and the fruit simply drops into it, ripe, warm and eager to be eaten.
The patience and self-control which you practice will make you more attractive and charming. This will qualify you as her daily vitamin and win you that heart hers.
I wish you to meet the girl of your dreams ASAP, make her fall in love with you, and make her feel the happiest girl in the world!
What If you Fall in Love With Two Men at Once
by wildcherry on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 | Dating, Love, Relationship | No Comments
It is possible to fall in love with two people at the same time. When you find that you are having feelings for two people at the same time, this can be a very difficult time. You may be having some feelings of love in the same way for these two people. This is going to be something that you will have to lay out on the table in front of you so that you can see where your feelings are coming from.
It is possible to be in a loving relationship and still find yourself having feelings for someone else. This is completely normal and it may just be temporary. Maybe this other person has done something nice for you or has shown you some kind of interest for one reason or another. This may trigger some emotional feelings towards this person and you may not understand why or how you can stop them.
There may be two people that are so very different from each other but for some reason they both have caught your attention and you like them for separate reasons. This is possible and you will have to come to terms with which one is going to be better for you. You must think about your feelings for both people and why you are having these feelings.
How do I determine which one is the right mate for me?
You may wander how you are ever going to decide between the two people. You will have to figure out which person is right for you. This will take a lot of thinking on your part. You will have to figure out what it is you want to have in life. What type of life do you want and which person will be better for you. You will have to spend some time with both of the people so that you can better determine which person you have more of a connection with.
Attraction is the main reason why people want to be together. They may have some sort of physical or emotional attraction for the other person. When this is the case, you have to dig down deeper and find out if there is another reason why you are so infatuated with this person. You will need to spend time together talking and finding out about one another so that you can better determine who is going to be best for you.
How do I make a wise decision without hurting both of them?
If you think that it is best to be open with both of the people that you are attracted to, you may find that this will end both relationships. Some may not take the news that you are in love with two people very well and they may decide to make the decision for you by ending it. If this is the case, you may have some relief knowing that the problem has now been solved and even though it is over, you may feel a little more relieved. This feeling may be one that you have anticipated for a long time.
There are some people that just decide it is impossible to choose between the two and it is a wise choice to let them both go. This is going to be a hard decision to make; however, in some cases, it is the only possible outcome. You cannot string someone along and make him or her wait for you because you cannot make up your mind. You may have a strong connection with both partners, but you know that it is wrong and you have to do the right thing.
The main thing that you need to remember is that you have to do what is best for you. It is important to make sure that you have your best interest in mind. You need to put yourself ahead of anyone else so that you can have it all and make all of your dreams come true.
Top 10 Chocolates for Valentine’s Day
by wildcherry on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 | Dating, Love, Relationship | No Comments
Here are the top 10 choices for the dark chocolate treats certain to make your Valentine stand up and applaud.
Dr. Dave’s Mega-O: Without a doubt, these small, square truffles (in mint, mocha and ginger flavors) were the surprise of the night. The packaging — which everyone agreed was funky — does not do justice to these intensely flavor-infused treats. “All were wonderfully true to taste,” said one guest. “The fresh mint leaf truffle. I never tasted anything like it!” And if the taste is not enough to entice you, each one contains 200 milligrams of vegetarian DHA omega-3. Eat, enjoy and be healthy. www.o3foods.com $12 per box of seven.
Theo Chocolate Bars: One of only a handful of bean-to-bar chocolate makers in the States, the Jane Goodall dark chocolate bar was ranked by the group as one of the highest quality all-around bars tasted that night. And just to inspire the socially conscious among us, they also happen to be certified Fair Trade and organic. Of the Spicy Chile bar, one guest said, “The spice erupts like a volcano as the chocolate lava rolls down the sides or your tongue.” Another called the 70 percent dark chocolate bar “smooth, sexy and full of melty goodness. Like warm butter.” www.theochocolate.com $5 per bar.
Mademoiselle de’Margaux: None of us were quite sure what to expect when we opened the powder-blue box, with French writing declaring, “Le Raisin Fruit entire au chocolat” on the outside. But once unwrapped, a box of 16 elegant, whole grapes, each individually coated in dark chocolate, soaked and surrounded by rum, was our reward. “These had the most dynamic mouth feel and were fun,” said one of the tasters. Dean and Deluca SoHo market 212-226-6800 or www.amazon.com $24.50 for a box of 16.
Xocolatl de David: A favorite among the tasters for both the quality of the chocolate and the simple elegance of the packaging, this bar was an all-around hit. Flavors tasted included: Piment d’ Espelette and Orangette Bar. “The Piment starts earthy and warm,” says one guest, “and finishes with a strong salty overtone.” Tasters also commented on how experimental and refined the bars were. As one guest said, “These are wonderfully complex, strong and assertive in nature.” www.xocolatldedavid.com $9 per bar.
Vosges Haut Chocolat Exotic Truffles: Voted by many in our choosy group as the best quality of all the truffles, they were also highly rated for being prettily presented in an elegant deep-purple box. With fives across the board (one meaning “yuck” and five “to die for”), they scored high in taste, smell, appearance, mouth feel and inventiveness. Flavors such as Wild Tuscan Fennel Pollen with Floral Anise and Ginger plus Fresh Wasabi with Black Sesame Seeds made them some of the more interesting dark chocolates of the evening. “If I were buying for true foodies, I would choose the Vosges,” said one guest.www.vosgeschocolate.com $26 per box of nine.
Oliver Kita Fine Confections: These handcrafted artisan chocolates were rated by many guests as some of the prettiest of the bunch. The unusual flavors, such as Passionfruit/Lychee and Marzipan Grand Marnier, make for an elegant and inventive box of dark chocolates to give as a gift or serve at a dinner party. One guest called the Salted Carmel “big and buttery,” while another taster said of the lot “These are dark, earthy and robust.” www.oliverkita.com$40 per box of 16.
Alter Eco Dark Chocolate Quinoa Crunch: If, like most people, you envision quinoa as a healthy grain designed to go with a nice veggie stir fry — but not in a bar of dark chocolate — think again. One of our tasters called this Fair Trade chocolate bar “Masculine, textured and luscious.” With an average rating of 4.5 for inventiveness and taste, this was one of the highest rated overall brands. As a bonus, it’s gluten, soy and GMO free. Go forth, buy one and crunch your way to happiness. www.altereco-usa.com $4.39 per bar.
Dean & Deluca Origin Collection: Created by Fritz Knipschildt, using single-bean cocoas from around the world, the dark truffles in this collection were highly rated among the tasters for their creamy texture, intense flavors and rustic appearance. The Italian Sambuca, Italian Truffle Oil and Mocha Gianduja drew declarations of “totally amazing” and “excellent flavors where the chocolate is the backup, not the star.” www.deandeluca.com $34 for a box of nine.
Gail Ambrosius: With a 5 for taste across the board, these exotic dark chocolates, such as Sweet Curry with Saffron and Shitake Mushroom, made our tasters’ mouths water. “The Lemongrass with Ginger starts earthy and ends warm and soft on the mouth,” happily exclaimed one guest. While not as pretty as some of the other truffles sampled, these gems hold their own in terms of rich taste and meltability. www.gailambrosius.com $25 for a box of 12.
Divine 70 percent Dark Chocolate with Raspberries: The happy black, red and gold packaging surrounding this bar offers a hint of the perky chocolate to come. “The raspberries are fresh tasting and upfront,” wrote one guest. While another said, “The aroma promises, and the taste packs the punch. They are coordinated like a symphony.” Abundant with raspberries in every bite, this Fair Trade chocolate bar was judged as a great all-around chocolate experience by the group. www.divinechocolateusa.com
