This especially holds true for the older woman. If she really loved herself, would she get sucked in by the predators? I think not.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">As one of those older women, here is my story, using his actual words and misspellings. These are words from someone I had not met in person.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His first text: \"Hope you are having fun Pretty.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His second text: \"Please relax well; that beautiful picture looks 30 to me... can you send me any more pictures you have?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My response: \"Yes later, not able to now.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"OK Angel, I\'ll wait even&nbsp;<strong>till Christ resurrect</strong>.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His next text: \"Good&nbsp;<strong>morn</strong>&nbsp;and happy Sunday to you. Hope your night was good. Don\'t forget to have a cup of coffee. Joe cares.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My response: \"Thanks Joe... not a coffee drinker... have a nice day.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"You too, going to church?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My response: \"Not church goer.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"Oh, OK. Care to share some recent&nbsp;<strong>pix</strong>?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My response: \"No, am with a friend.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"OK-later then I\'ll be expecting.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"I\'d like to be the air you breathe and the sun that&nbsp;<strong><em>HEATS YOU, BUT THE MOST I WANT IS TO BE THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. GOOD MORNING SWEETHEART.\"</em></strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My response: \"Nice message... very poetic and very presumptuous. However, I am looking for the real.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His text: \"You found me baby... what\'s your plan 4 today?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His next text: \"How are you doing love?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">His next text: \"Hello sunshine hope you had a great nite rest. Love you.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Definitely you just witnessed some very smooth gesturing - those attempting to pull in the lonely lady who wants an instantly gratifying relationship. Meaningful relationships don\'t happen in this way. Victim relationships do though and how utterly ridiculous that many ladies fall for those seductive words. They actually send money to men whom they\'ve never met, fly to countries that are unsafe and risk losing their savings to these unscrupulous men. (And by the way, often these \"men\" are really women pretending to be men.)</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Please notice also the incorrect use of grammar. It often means that the writer is not from an English speaking country or not very bright. And what\'s so important about you sending more pictures? Well, do you think those pictures of you might be used to put a bogus profile on line to pull in some lonely men and scam them?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So... is there a moral to this story? Well, yes - it\'s put yourself first always, allow yourself to be lonely (it\'s simply a feeling and feelings can be reprogrammed), and join organizations to meet people so you can release those lonely thoughts and emotions.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Jyude Allbright is all about empowerment... \"Be the power that you truly Be,\" is her motto.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Unlike other sugar daddy sites out there, sugardaddyallowance is a legacy in the making for it was one of the first sites to cater to this specified narrow niche and has been doing a fabulous job of the same for more than a decade. Sugar daddy meet currently boasts of having more men than women which makes it one of the few dating sites to stand out on this count (52.4% men as opposed to 47.6% women). The site design is quite good and it focuses your attention to the main aspects of the site right away. Sugar daddy meet, as the moniker says, is all about older, financially secure single men and eligible ladies and this platform makes the connection happen. If you are planning to sign up, then you should know that the site comes with an easy to understand interface and the sign up process fairly easy; please note that this site does not cater to cougars, gay relationships or for that matter, those who opt to lie on their profile.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being single in your 40s can be a brilliant thing. Let\'s be honest, you\'re more daring, more intelligent, hotter and more observant than any time in your past. A pleasant advantage of being 40 and awesome is that you\'ve likely worked on yourself and are alright with what your identity is. If not, you\'ll need to set up plainly recognized dating esteems, inclinations and objectives.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dating in the modern landscape comes with questionable and confounding desires for gender roles. Many have varying perspectives and methods of reasoning particularly when both parties are financially stable. Not being in agreement can prompt hatred.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Open communication between couple is required to make a wide range of job divisions seeing someone work. Have a heart to heart talk with your partner. Reality is, you have different perspectives, you would then be able to choose if it\'s a major issue or if the both of you can be adaptable to one another.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Trust your instincts. Most relationship mix-ups happen on the grounds that an individual doesn\'t heed their gut feelings at an opportune time and stays figuring it will change. By your 40s, you have logged a few miles on your tires with a scope of human experiences, so trust your gut.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Also, by tuning in to your gut, you\'ll have the option to look past sort and push ahead dependent on sentiments and common qualities which is genuine foundations of effective connections.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dating motivation will in general be increasingly predictable when individuals are more youthful, yet when they arrive at their 40s, individuals might search for wide-extending objectives from union with easygoing hookups, fellowships, or even kids. At the same time having shifted lives with set up vocations, various types of money related duties because of families, homes, and that\'s only the tip of the iceberg.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You are never again a 25-year-old living with flat mates and with couple of financial ties. Since the scope of reasons and desires around dating might be more extensive, be sure about yours. In case that somebody isn\'t on a similar page as you, realizing your expectations can enable you to settle on choices that don\'t leave you angry not far off.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Individuals are occupied with numerous obligations in their 40s that require all the more planning and rest. Try not to attempt to find some hidden meaning if your date needs to reschedule or call it early. In many cases, it is a direct result of their own obligations, and you\'d almost certainly anticipate a similar sort of comprehension from them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When we hit 40, we\'ve had a lot of preliminary and blunders, however this needn\'t be considered things. You\'ve traversed any slip-ups you\'ve made and gained from them, so recall this when you\'re out on the town. You have carried on with a full life, no requirement for statements of regret.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Try not to make assumptions. You\'ve obtained a lifetime of experience already or two with regards to dating, and accordingly, it\'s anything but difficult to have existing convictions dependent on your past encounters-more than you ever would have in your 20s, or even 30s. In the event that you\'ve had adverse dating encounters, you may accept the individual you\'re dating has comparative characteristics or practices as somebody from before.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being single can some of the time debilitate, and your certainty may be shaken. In fact, you need confidence. If you are not confident with yourself and your circumstance, it\'s not appealing to somebody no doubt about it. You need to be the individual you\'re hoping to draw in.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, be simply the best during that moment and have a fabulous time getting to naturally know your date. Show an enthusiasm for them</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Even it feels like forever since the last time you dated; things haven\'t changed as much as you think. To avoid making the same mistakes twice, it\'s important to assess your previous relationship/s.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Rosemarie_Sumalinog_Gonzales/1972656\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Rosemarie_Sumalinog_Gonzales/1972656</a></p>\r\n</div>');

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Life, so they state, starts at 40. You may find that thought limited consolidation as your hair grays or diminishes, your paunch neglects to recoil following half a month of dietary somberness, and you wake up longing. These indications of mileage affirm that you\'ve been around long enough to have adapted some stuff, done a few things, gathered recollections and resources and cultivated and reinforced connections while increasing point of view on this brief and insane outing we call life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now is an ideal opportunity to take your past and use it to fuel the triumphs of all the life yet to come. Forty is frequently depicted in the more extensive media with diversion or pity, and infrequently mirrors the truth that solitary ladies at goop in their forties have discovered: Dating is still fun. There\'s nothing progressively amusing or pitiable about dating in your forties than dating in your twenties.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Many single ladies in their forties or more understand their genuine wants, enable themselves to appreciate the delight of dating, and draw in individuals who bring them more happiness. Underneath, her reviving viewpoint and guidance for all ages on making sense of what it is you\'re truly searching for when you\'re dating.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dating ought to be fun: The rush of awakening beside another sweetheart feeling their delicate breath against your body is fabulous at any age. In any case, dating at forty or more is time after time thrown in a miserable light by the media, so for a few, the idea of being single and forty or more seasoned infers what one doesn\'t have, or is losing, rather than what you do have-or are notwithstanding picking up.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being single further down the road can be extremely fabulous here and there: For some, an opportunity hits sooner or later in your forties. While more ladies in their twenties and thirties are searching for partners to have youngsters with, this turns out to be less the situation as we get more seasoned.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Another advantage of dating at forty is that you have the certainty that accompanies involvement. I see a distinction in how ladies in their forties stroll into a room, the manner in which they can make heads turn and heartbeats race. It\'s a brilliance, a power from inside. Consider it a sexual sparkle. Whatever it will be, it\'s appealing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For some, looking at and re-setting their feelings of trepidation and aims around dating encourages them to discover happiness in it that they probably won\'t have felt previously. What we anticipate and how we draw in others has everything to with what\'s covered underneath, regardless of whether interest or dread. Dating can be both astounding and hair-raising. Be that as it may, it tends to be uncontrollably energizing, as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">With regards to sentiment, we\'re frequently lured to pursue crazes or fit into social standards to consider dating sometime down the road as unnatural, there\'s a major issue with me. Our drive for flawlessness can supersede our feeling of self-esteem, and darken our wants, even to ourselves. Our wants can drive us at each age on the off chance that we let them. The advantage of being guided by want at forty, instead of twenty, is that you have more opportunity, in addition to the knowledge of twenty additional long stretches of life to go with you.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dating in your forties is fun because in one way or another, you are already emotionally stable.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Kissing a Parsi Girl can Lead to Exciting Possibilities<br /><strong>Zoroaster Religion</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The Zoroaster religion is perhaps the oldest religion in the world as it predates both Islam and Christianity by many centuries. It even predates Buddhism and is perhaps on a par with Hinduism. The religion has age-old practices and rituals and the believers worship the sacred fire that burns in all Parsi temples. The Parsi religion, however, is fairly rigid but has yet spawned liberalism among its followers. Thus Parsi women are greatly free and emancipated and it will not be an understatement that they are the peers of the western women in an eastern environment.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Parsi Women are Free</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">One of the ancient beliefs of Parses is the equality of women with men. Parsis give a great degree of freedom to their women in the choice of spouses and friends. Though, the priests may frown yet the Parsi girls will easily be friendly with men outside the Parsi fold. This we have a situation where the Parsi woman is generally more gregarious and outgoing than other Indian women. So in case a man from another religion or faith wishes to date and love a Parsi woman he will have to raise his mental level to that of the Parsi girl. Kissing is one aspect that represents affection between a man and a woman. Eastern manuals lay great stress on the kiss. Though Hindu or Muslim woman will never kiss in public, this is not so with modern Parsi girls. Also, bear in mind that Parsi girls are generally very fair and extremely beautiful.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Kissing a Parsi Girl</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Thus a man wanting to show his affection to a Parsi woman will have to play by the rules of the game. It is imperative that he builds up trust and confidence with the Parsi woman. It will not be a bad idea to be aware of the essence of Parsi religious thought and its scriptures. Once a Parsi woman is aware, that she is loved by a man though he may be outside the fold of the Parsi religion, she will open out to him. In that case when you do meet her see to it that you are presentable and well dressed.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">While taking her out for a dinner or a movie hold her hand gently and press it to convey your love for her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When you are alone with her, look her in the eye. Talk a lot and make good conversation. Remember that in case a Parsi girl likes you, she will not be averse to being kissed. But do not rush to do anything. Start by kissing her fingertips and then the inside of her palm. Continue soft kisses and move on to her cheeks, chin, and neck. Kiss her eyelids softly and whisper sweet words to her. Once the woman closes her eyes you can lightly brush her lips with your lips and then follow up with a chaste kiss lip to lip. It is more than likely that by now you will be able to get her to open her mouth and then you may interlock your tongue with her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Last Word</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Thus kissing a Parsi girl is an art by itself. It can be an elevating experience, in case you have some belief in yourself. This could be the start of an exciting foray into the world of bliss with your Parsi partner as a lot many Parsi girls are marrying outside their religion. You could land yourself an extremely beautiful wife.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Madan_G_Singh/148323\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Madan_G_Singh/148323</a></p>\r\n</div>');

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">At some point in life a man needs to realize that they are middle-aged or even at the end of middle age. Sure! I could discuss women. But for now, I am discussing Men. Why? Because I see it over and over and somehow feel relieved when I see a man who truly gets it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">There is a certain type of man out there who will never see themselves as getting old. They compare themselves to men half their age and they feel better about themselves by having a woman by their side who looks like the trophy prize. Look, I get trying to look our best but somehow these certain men want their significant other to be dolled up 24/7. They never can envision themselves aging. Much less needing someone to help them into their wheelchair, wiping food from their mouth or in many instances changing their diaper. Instead it is more of a relationship based on superficial factors.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Recently I saw a man, about 75 years old riding one of those Rascal scooters. As he drove by this attractive 30+ year-old woman, he slapped her butt and let out a cat call. The woman turned around looking mortified and began yelling at the man. She said something in the way of it being 2018 and he being a pig. She continued her brow beating as this little man puttered off on his little tractor. Sadly, many of these men never grew up and never pictured themselves sickly and alone. Bottom line is they were too busy never maturing and always looking for the next best thing. Guess what?! Age 50 arrives fast from age 45. There is only 10 years between 50-60. Before we know it we are old. If we are lucky we will live without too many health problems and if we are fortunate we will have a person who loves us unconditionally by our side. Remember, The last thing a woman needs is ol\' Harry and his shifty eyeballs comparing us to the lady at the Bingo Hall!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In the future... when you are looking for Mr. Right and he is still talking about the hottie he dated 20 years earlier or mentioning how you can lose that Freshman 15 from years earlier, or critiquing your body ever so nicely! Take a long hard look at that aging man in front of you and ask yourself... Do I want to be wiping this man\'s a** when he gets older?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Enough said</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Tina_Adams-Carter/2562929\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Tina_Adams-Carter/2562929</a></p>\r\n</div>');

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dear Dr. Romance:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I have been reading your article The fine art of squirrel hunting I certainly will appreciate any wisdom or guidance that you can share. I\'m a minister who ministers to congregations, and I was widowed several years ago.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">1. I\'ve pretty much stopped going to any singles group functions. I think you\'re right when you say that they are not too productive except if they are organized around a specific activity. I don\'t know of any of those focused activity singles groups going on though. I\'d appreciate any further thoughts you have.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">2. I\'m wondering if you have any further thoughts about friends introducing me to people. I\'m thinking that if I would have at least some prior contact with the person they are connecting me with, that would be good, but I\'m wondering about a \"blind date\" without having met the person before. One thing that concerns me is if I don\'t really pick up on someone whom a friend has fixed me up with that could jeopardize the friendship. I\'m thinking that would be a little different from my meeting someone at a friend\'s party and asking the friend about that person\'s availability. But if a friend goes out of his or her way to arrange a date, that\'s a lot of investment on their part. I welcome any thoughts you have about that.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">3. I really like the idea of getting involved in certain activities that I would enjoy anyway, and then getting to know a number of people in the group. I probably know the answer to this, but these things take time. I certainly know the reality that you need to spend time at a goal you want to reach, but I\'m wondering if you have any other particular thoughts about that.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">4. On an ongoing basis, I receive invitations to speak to various groups of caregivers and trainers. These invitations come from both the nearby area and all over the country. I\'m wondering if these would be good opportunities to meet people. Sometimes these speaking invitations also have a social time like dinner or even parties. Most of the time these are couples, but there are also times where single women are also present.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In the past when I have gotten invitations to speak in other cities, which typically are with individual congregations, I haven\'t accepted those because it has been much better that I use my time to speak with larger groups representing many congregations. But if my goal is to meet people and to have social connections, I\'m thinking it would be good to accept these invitations. For example, several months ago I preached and a couple of days later spoke to a group of current and former ministers and leaders at a church in another city. Then last week I got a note inviting me to a potluck that they are having next month. I\'ll definitely go. I know you said something in your book about not missing an opportunity for a party.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">5. I think my number one challenge at this time is meeting people. Part of it has to do with my schedule, part the fact that I had settled into a pretty comfortable life of work, family, and my late wife pretty much arranging social kinds of things. But this is something I do want to do something about.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dear Reader:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I\'m sorry for your loss, and I think it\'s the right time for you to find a partner. I think you\'re right, that the air of desperation in singles groups pretty much precludes meeting someone in a productive way. Because you are in the ministry, I think focusing on church-related social activities will be your source of success.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If your friends want you to meet someone, suggest they either bring her to a church activity where you\'ll be, or invite you over to dinner or a party. Blind dates are for teenagers, not for your age group. You want to meet new ladies in a group setting, where you can chat, but not feel committed to anything until you are interested.You\'re very interested in your vocation and in church, so that could be your social group. The key is finding something that allows you to see people repeatedly, so you can get to know them before you settle on a likely lady.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Yes, this is a good opportunity, especially the ones in your area. If this potluck is a regular thing, try to go several times. If you let the churches do the arranging, by inviting you to dinners and potlucks, I\'m certain you\'ll find someone. You\'ve done your grief work, you know how relationships are, and your goals are realistic. It takes some time to meet enough people to find the one you\'re looking for, but I\'m certain you\'ll do it. How to be happy partners: Working it out together will help you understand how to find someone you can really succeed with. Guidelines for successful dating will also help you with this new venture. I wish you the best of luck.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Tina B.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Most of us want to find someone special to share our lives with and, once found, want to keep that relationship protected.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being a farmer can make the process more complex as the need to work long hours, being unavailable, sometimes for days at a time, due to the vagaries of the weather and various farming commitments, can reduce the possibility of finding a relationship with a non-farming person.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Some farms are miles from anywhere, leading to isolation and loneliness. Those farmers may report not seeing another soul except for their co-farming mates for days or even weeks at a time.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">But it\'s not just farmers who sometimes struggle to find a relationship. Everyone has their own combination of stresses in life, things going on that distract or preoccupy them. If you want a special someone in your life it\'s important to appreciate, accommodate and work around each other\'s issues.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Making a relationship a priority allows the other person to see that you\'re committed to the process and prepared to really try. Here are some tips for when you\'re ready for that to happen.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Decide that having a relationship ranks high on your list.</strong>&nbsp;Whether looking online or going to a local sports, social or young farmers group, turn up regularly. Be consistent. Walk the walk and demonstrate that you\'re serious, but not desperate.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Invest in your appearance.</strong>&nbsp;Is it time for an update? Maybe visit a different hairdresser or barber and be styled by a fresh pair of eyes. Invest in new clothes from a high street store, modernise your fragrance. Make sure you look smart, show you care about yourself and about who you\'re wanting to meet. After all, I daresay you expect potential dates to look clean, smart and attractive!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Invest in your conversational abilities</strong>, listen to the radio, watch popular TV, be interested in what\'s happening locally as well as further afield. Then you can join in conversations and see your confidence blossom.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Listen.</strong>&nbsp;Be keen to know about the other person, their interests, what\'s happening in their lives. And remember what you\'ve been told so you can follow-up next time you meet.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Invest of yourself.</strong>&nbsp;Sometimes you may be too tired to go out, be preoccupied, have lots going on. But if you want a relationship you have to make the effort and suggest meeting up, even if it\'s for a quick drink, a simple coffee, and that way you\'ll get a break too. Suggest dates that you\'ll enjoy, perhaps a film or something quite different to your daily endeavours, like a quiz evening, especially if you\'re aware that you\'re letting your relationship focus slide.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Communicate your struggles</strong>&nbsp;and let the other person know what you\'re going through. Don\'t hide your challenges or pretend to be something you\'re not. You may even end up with a supportive ally in your life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- It\'s not all about you.</strong>&nbsp;If you regularly make excuses, have stopped making an effort and find yourself saying things like, \'this is me, take it or leave it!\', don\'t be too disappointed if you get left behind! Being authentic is important, but so is finding some balance and not being too jaded to enjoy life because you\'re constantly giving your all to work, leaving nothing for the rest.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you want a relationship you have to be prepared to put in the time and commitment. Reaping the benefits requires you to first sow and tend the seeds.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Susan Leigh, counsellor, hypnotherapist, relationship counsellor, writer &amp; media contributor offers help with relationship issues, stress management, assertiveness and confidence.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Whether you have just begun dating, or are ending a serious relationship, or even a marriage, a heartbreak can be difficult to deal with if you do not know what to do. You may experience different levels of heartbreak at different phases of your lives, but no matter where you are on the scale, dealing with it effectively, and moving on can not only save you a lot of misery, but also make you a more mature person. The three steps to effectively move on after a heartbreak are: distraction, observation, and introspection. Each step is a stairway to build a better you and get readier for the world out there.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><em>Distraction</em></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you have just broken up today, you might not be in a mood to talk, hang out, read, or do any of the things you liked to do. You probably just want to curl up under a blanket and brood all day. While it is perfectly alright to shed a few tears and expel the negative energy from the body and the mind, there has to be a check to ensure you do not go overboard in feeling negative, and consequently shut yourself up, resulting in heavy depression. The solution is to find a distraction. You may find the simple things such as cooking dinner, going grocery shopping, etc., help you take your mind off you ex. Daily chores can be the best form of distraction, do them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><em>Observation</em></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">A few days after your heartbreak, when you feel more like yourself, and have used your distractions to get back on your feet, start observing everything around you. For example, when you take a walk, observe the other people in the park as to how they behave, talk, walk, smile, or frown. Studying different characters may help you understand the true nature of human beings, and the broadness of the world. You start to realize through your observations that no one is perfect, and people change, which is only natural.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><em>Introspection</em></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Observation is key to understanding what else or who else is out there. The true readiness to face the world, however, comes when you begin to understand yourself. It always takes two people to end a relationship, and while it is okay to blame your ex, once you sit and think about your past relationship with a cool head, you might be able to identify some aspects where you went wrong, too. Note down those mistakes and think how you could have done those things differently. It may not revive your past relationship, but it will definitely help you handle your next relationship better.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Finally, breathe and look around. Take things slow. It takes time to heal from the pain of heartbreak, so do not rush. Give yourself the time and space you deserve and walk out into the world with your head held high.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Rinita_Sen/2176621\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Rinita_Sen/2176621</a></p>\r\n</div>');

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Getting hit by a love bomb feels glorious! The lavish attention and affection seems to answer our prayers. We\'ve found Mr. or Ms. Right - your soul mate; unsuspecting that we\'ve been targeted by a narcissist. The bomber abruptly changes colors and loses interest, and our dream comes crashing down. The rejection is excruciating, especially at the height of romance. It\'s a traumatic shock to our heart. We feel duped, betrayed, and abandoned. We\'re confused and try to make sense of the nightmare that was once a dream. What we thought was real was in fact a mirage. We search for answers, doubt and blame ourselves, often losing trust in ourselves and the opposite sex.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Sometimes, partners are ghosted by their disappearing suitor, are dumped by text, email, or a call. If they\'re rejected in person, they\'re bewildered by the coldness of the narcissist, who just recently expressed love and promised an amazing future together. They may discover that they\'ve been disposed of for a new prospect, cheated on, or two-timed all along. It\'s devastating and can be hard to let go, because all of their memories are happy and wonderful. It takes time to accept the truth of who the bomber really was. Protects victims from the painful truth that relationship was not what they imagined.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Love bombing and narcissistic supply</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Research shows that love bombers have low self-esteem and are often narcissists; although not all narcissists are love bombers, and some non-narcissists are. Despite a fa&ccedil;ade of confidence and independence, narcissists feel insecure and empty. They require constant reassurance or \"narcissistic supply\" from those around them, but, like vampires, it\'s never enough to fill their emptiness or satisfy their hunger. Rather than confidence, they actually fear that they\'re undesirable. Their sense of self is determined by what others think of them, they try to control what others think to feel better about themselves. Thus, love bombing is thus a means to seek attention, to boost their ego, and fulfill self-enhancement needs for sex, power, and control. When they\'re depressed, have suffered a loss, or are disenchanted with their last conquest, they look for new narcissistic supplies.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Many narcissists employ seduction, engage in game-playing and use relationships for self-enhancement. Dating is intense and moves quickly. The attention can be dizzyingly exciting to the recipient. There\'s frequently excessive communication, reflecting bombers\' neediness for affirmation, usually by text or social media, where they can exercise more control at a distance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Idealization and devaluation</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For a narcissist, it\'s not enough to be liked or appreciated. It only counts when the other person has status or highly valued qualities, such as wealth, beauty, special talents, power, celebrity, or genius. Narcissists idealize prospective partners to augment their own lack of self-esteem. The thinking is, \"If I can win over the admiration of this very attractive person, then I must be worthy.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">As reality creeps into the relationship, they discover that their partner is inadequate or fear that their flawed, empty self will be revealed as expectations for emotional intimacy increase. Any slight or imagined chink in their ideal image of their partner feels painful. As narcissists\' vision of their perfect partner deteriorates, their hidden shame increasingly causes discomfort. They in turn project this onto their partner, whom they criticize and devalue. This is particularly true of perfectionistic narcissists. When their partner\'s luster fades, he or she no longer provides a satisfactory object to boost their self-esteem. They discard their partner and look elsewhere for a new source of narcissistic supply. When relationships with narcissists endure, the partner feels drained, hurt, resentful, and lonely. Disrespect and lack of caring damage his or her self-esteem over time.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Attachment styles</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Narcissists have insecure attachment styles that are either avoidant or anxious, or some combination. People with insecure attachment styles feel a basic insecurity stemming from relationships with early caregivers. They doubt the reliability of others to satisfy their emotional needs, and base their self-esteem on the behavior and responses of others. One showed that people with an insecure attachment style were more likely to engage in love-bombing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Codependent partners</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Most codependents s also have low self-esteem and insecure attachment styles and seek relationships to validate their worthiness. Their unconscious belief is, \"If I\'m loved, then I must be lovable.\" Although some codependents may behave in ways that appear needy and insecure, narcissists hide their neediness and act self-assured, in control, proud, and even cocky, like a male peacock flaunting his feathers. To insecure codependents, this display is very attractive. They\'re impressed and attracted to the traits they wish they had. They, too, idealize narcissists, who soak up their admiration. Narcissists are skillful and charming communicators, adept at making people admire and like them. Both narcissists and codependents are able to adapt to the likes and needs of one another, but for the narcissist, it\'s a tactic of seduction; for the accommodating codependent, it\'s a way of relating and their personality style.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When codependents experience love-bombing, their low self-esteem is also raised. They finally feel seen and appreciated, unlike in their childhood. They imagine a future free of their inner emptiness and loneliness with this ideal mate who will always love them. In the initial phase of mutual admiration, they overlook or don\'t see differences or potential problems.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Solutions</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The good news is that we can change our attachment style. Meanwhile, it\'s important to go slow when dating. Rushing intimacy doesn\'t rush love, only our attachment. It\'s an attempt to gratify personal, psychological needs. It takes time to know someone. That is how trust and love grow in a healthy relationship. Mature daters won\'t use undue seduction, charm, or make premature promises and expressions of love. They take time dating in order to assess whether someone will be a good long term partner, and they won\'t want to disappoint or hurt him or her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Stay connected to your body and your feelings. In the intensity of a new romance, question whether your \"excitement\" isn\'t really anxiety about rejection and uncertain hope about a rosy future. Do you feel free to be open and honest and set boundaries or are you walking on eggshells? Are you complying to please your partner? In other words, can you be authentic, say \"no,\" and express negative feelings? That usually takes time and trust. Often codependents think, \"I trust people until they give me reason not to.\" Mature individuals know that trust must be earned. Love bombers lie, but it takes time to figure this out.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Watch and listen to how your date treats and talks about others and his or her ex. Does he or she heap praise on you, but orders, blames, or disparages other people? Your date may one day treat you that way.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&copy;DarleneLancer 2018</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Darlene Lancer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, expert in relationships, codependency, addiction and author of Codependency for Dummies and Conquering Shame and Codependency: 8 Steps to Freeing the True You.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dear Dr. Romance:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">This is something that\'s puzzling me for along time. I often do want the \"playgirl\", but they like the more of the \"bad boy\" type.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I know for sure I want sex without strings attached, many men get this, but I simply attract women who want a boyfriend, and I don\'t want this! It seems as if society is saying, cause I\'m a nice guy, I must be trapped into a commitment to get what I want which is sex.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The women that are attracted to me are not at my standard level. I know this for a fact. They are not equal to me. They are trying to get a \"catch\" and something out of their league. I simply can\'t accept this. However I\'m miserable and tormented. But I can\'t settle for what I don\'t want either.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dear Reader:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Men have fantasized about two categories of women for centuries: the \"good girl\" who is marriage material, and the \"bad girl\" who is fun but not worthy of commitment. Women are much more complex people than that, and they\'re now having their turn to reject those notions.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My question is, what do you want and who are you looking for? Your lack of clarity about this probably projects itself, and women react to the confusion. If you want a playboy life, I guess you\'ll have to be more like one, but I bet it won\'t make you happy. And the women you attract won\'t make you happy, either.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Are you looking for a long-term relationship? There are plenty of worthy women out there who are looking for the same thing. Are you looking for a good time and no expectations? Then you want a playgirl, who will probably be more attracted to the \"bad boy\" type, and more interested in what you can give her, materially. Don\'t forget, though, that you won\'t be allowed to have any expectations either. You\'ll find, if you take the time to sort out your priorities and look a little deeper under the surface, that as soon as you\'re clear about the kind of real woman and relationship you want, she will appear, like magic.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Well, a relationship with \"no strings\" is not a relationship, it\'s a one-night stand, or maybe several, with the same person. To get sex without strings, you pretty much have to settle for a woman who doesn\'t want to settle down, or grow up. Most stable women are looking for relationships. Almost any woman you have sex with several times in a row will think you\'re in a relationship with her. The best way to find a woman who doesn\'t want attachment is to find someone who is married, and wants an affair. Or, you might try someone who has a very demanding career, and just wants sex when she wants it. Try stating your desires online -- be very upfront about it, and see what you get. \"Friends With Benefits\" might answer some of your questions.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It\'s important that you know yourself, your goals, your needs and wants really well before you can find a great relationship that could potentially lead to marriage.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">And the best way to determine if your current or future boyfriend is marriage material is to know yourself, create a checklist of what\'s right for you, and then test him to see if he fits.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In this article, we\'ll break down what things you need to know about both yourself and him in order to even consider that next step!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Step One: Know There Is a \"Mr. Perfect for You\" and That You Can Design Him</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Are you still waiting for HIM? You know who I mean:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">\"Mr. Right\". The perfect man that will satisfy all your dreams and make your life worth living?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Yeah, that guy. Well, sorry to break it to you like this but...</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Prince Charming, riding on a white stallion, lost his way because men hate asking for directions.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Or he found Princess Charming and got married to her on his way to your castle... or, you know, your apartment.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">And by the way, even Prince Charming wasn\'t flawless. I\'m pretty sure he left dirty dishes in the sink and never made up the bed.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Anyway, the point is that PERFECT isn\'t showing up anytime soon.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Truth is... nobody is perfect. No man and no woman. Perfection doesn\'t exist in people. But don\'t feel bad if you have been looking for the perfect man.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I did that for a long time, deathly afraid that if I didn\'t get him exactly right, I\'d failed myself, my future kids, the planet, my Mama, and possibly God.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I was wrong. Don\'t even look for perfect, because the concept of \"perfect for YOU\" exists instead. You can plan the guy that may not perfect in the world, but is perfect for and fits YOU well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The perfect-for-you man of your dreams is not hiding under your bed, though. That would be too easy. Can\'t have that.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Nope, you are going to have to actively design and then look for him. But don\'t worry, the search can be fun if you want it to be, and the hardest part is done. You now know you won\'t find perfect, so the pressure is off!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">By the way, are you feeling the whole \"not pretty enough\" thing sometimes too? Wondering \"why am I still single\" even?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I did too. However, I learned that although I may not completely fit my society\'s \"standard of beauty\", I did meet quite a few men\'s individual standard of beauty... or was at least close enough!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">And that\'s all you really need. So don\'t worry. \"Mr. Close-Enough-To-Perfect-For-You\" might be just around the corner... if you\'ll give him a chance!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>You can plan him. Don\'t do this by default.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I\'ve noticed that we sometimes find ourselves dating or even married by what I call \"by default\". That means we find a man, decide that he is the best we can do, and latch on without really analyzing him to determine if he\'s really right for us or our lives.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t fall victim to default. This isn\'t the time for \"get in where you fit in\". You CAN plan him. When you do your research and work your strategy, you won\'t have to put up with the losers!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You\'ll have a way to know whether he\'s marriage material... or not!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now that you know that there is no \"Mr. Right\" or perfect man, the pressure is off, and you can now have fun looking for what I call your \"ideal male\". You\'re also aware that dating by default isn\'t the best way to avoid the pain of being with a dud. And you understand you can take the bull by the horns and decide what you want your ideal guy to look like.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now it\'s time to dive into YOU, determine your dating deal breakers, and decide what kind of guy fits you best.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Step Two: Get to Know YOU: Your Goals and Dreams, Needs and Wants, and Deal Breakers</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Did you see the first The Matrix (tm) movie? Remember that scene where Neo goes to see the Oracle?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">He is trying to figure out if he\'s \"the one\" -- a Messiah of sorts and the man Morpheus is searching for-- and thinks the Oracle can help him decide what to do.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Typical of a good mentor, the Oracle makes Neo find his own way. Before putting him out to find his own answers, she points out the plaque above her door that reads nosce te ipsum.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Know thyself.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You should know yourself really well before committing to someone else.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you ever taken time to really think about what YOU want for your life? I don\'t mean what you THINK you want -- which is usually what others want for you -- or what society wants for you -- don\'t get me started on that, but what YOU really, truly, want for yourself?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Why? Well, understanding yourself is the most important thing you can do before getting deeply involved with another person.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I\'m not saying you\'ll do everything perfectly even if you see yourself clearly. Problems can still happen, and you will make mistakes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">But if you pick a mate based on what you learn about yourself, you will have a much better shot at finding compatibility than if you have no idea who you are and just go into this blindly, hoping it will turn out okay.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you don\'t know yourself or your needs well, and hook up with someone before finding YOU first, you may end up realizing that the person you are with does not fit you or your life at all, or at least not enough for things to last very long. Relationship compatibility is CRUCIAL.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being badly matched could be disastrous, especially if you cement yourself to him by having a child or getting married.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Know Your Goals and Dreams... and Stick With Them</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When I think about it, I\'m so glad to have been born when I was. We\'ve got so many options now that women in my mother\'s age range and older just didn\'t have. We now have the tools and the right to decide what we want in terms of a career, marriage, and family just as much as men do.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, despite having goals and dreams, we sometimes get so caught up in a relationship that our own lives take a backseat. We end up giving up our dreams for relationships and marriage, children and family.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now, if you have a family with a man that\'s right for you then maybe these sacrifices are worth it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, they are never worth it with the wrong man, so always keep your goals in the front of your mind and don\'t let the wrong guy take them from you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>So what are your goals and dreams?</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Think about the things you want to do with your life. Your goals can be in any category, including career, travel, health, spirituality... anything at all. It\'s up to you. But to get you started, I suggest you look at these areas.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">What do you want to be when you grow up?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do you have a specific career in mind? Is there any special education you want to achieve? Anywhere in particular you want to work? Maybe even start your own business?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">What about fun? Have you always wanted to travel? Where to? How long? Don\'t be modest; anything is possible!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do you have any specific body or health goals? Want to lose a bit of weight? Gain weight? Gain muscle? Run a marathon?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do you feel a lack in your spiritual life? Want to attend church more? Study other religions? Memorize a holy book or two? Become a Buddhist? None of the above? Don\'t forget this is about YOU.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do you want kids? No kids, but more dogs? A cat or two? A llama? Plan your own family goals!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The point is that these are to be YOUR ambitions and no one else\'s. Let your imagination have some fun.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now that you\'ve considered your goals, let\'s look at what you want and need in a relationship.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Decide on Your Needs/Wants</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I hear some of you asking: \"wants or needs... what\'s the difference?\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Well, when I say needs, it\'s exactly that. Those are characteristics you can\'t really live without. Wants are nice, but not crucial. You can go on without them if necessary.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I have several friends who are single and looking for a good man. A couple of these ladies wanted to buck the trend of just dating whoever came along.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Instead they really studied themselves and then decided what type of man they want. They began to examine what type of guy complemented them and quickly discovered what they would and would not tolerate in a mate. I suggested they document their needs and wants to decide if the next guy would fit them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For example, one friend, Josie, decided her ideal guy would know how -- and be willing to - cook some of the meals. He had to be thoughtful, emotionally available and like to talk things out after an argument instead of hiding out and pouting.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">She also realized she needed him to be on the same page as her spiritually, and that he would have to be an avid church attendee. He also should love and want children like she did.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Clearly, getting involved with a man who had none (or barely any) of these characteristics would result in serious arguments and almost guaranteed problems in Josie\'s future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So she wrote her requirements on a checklist, and if potential dates didn\'t meet her minimum needs, she politely said thanks, but no thanks.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">By doing her work up front, Josie was able to avoid a lot of the painful frustrations of dating the wrong guy. She hasn\'t found the \"right one\" quite yet, but she\'s successfully avoided several really wrong ones.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>So what are your wants and needs pertaining to him?</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Like Josie, do you want him to be spiritual or religious? Look back at your goals list. Does it have any things on it that you want to do and he should match? For example, if your goal is to become a Buddhist, should he already be one, or be open to it?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Should he want kids? Should he want pets? Do you already have a pet and/or or kids and the \"children\" have to sign off on him?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Next, you will discover that some of your wants/needs will have nothing to do with your goals. They\'ll be all about his personality traits, which we\'ll cover in a bit.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Be Aware of Your Deal Breakers</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Speaking of wants vs. needs... deal breakers - like needs- are crucial. These are the characteristics you must have -- or avoid -- for a relationship to work.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">A huge deal breaker that I have encountered in my work has been the differing desire for children. If that\'s you, just be upfront about it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If he wants kids and you don\'t, that\'s okay, but you two aren\'t compatible. If you want them and he doesn\'t, then it isn\'t going to work. Children just aren\'t something you can compromise on.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Another deal breaker I recommend you consider is ANY type of abuse. Even if it seems \"mild\" or that he\'s \"just playing\", mistreatment is a red flag and it\'s better to be single than dead. Too many women have ignored the signs and ended up paying with their lives.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Are there other deal breakers on your mind? Then put them on your list.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Now That You\'ve Listed Them, Look for Your Needs, Wants, Dreams and Deal Breakers in HIM</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you\'re currently dating, does your current guy fit any of the items on your checklist so far?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Remember to be honest about this. Be aware whether you see these attributes because you want to, or if they are really there.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be honest with yourself, put the emotion aside, and find out who he actually is. Time out for the fantasies and soap operas. This is serious. If he really doesn\'t fit - even if you really want him to - strike him from consideration. Doing so doesn\'t mean he isn\'t a good guy, he\'s just not the right one for you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Step Three: Look for Generally Good Traits in Him</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Remember I said earlier that you also needed to consider his personality traits too?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now it\'s time to look into whether he has good personality traits or whether he shows some relationship red flags you need to steer clear of.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I\'ll mention my top three desirable traits just to get you started. It\'s up to you decide whether they are also on your list, or you can do without them. I know I\'ve said this a lot, but your checklist is always yours and should reflect you, not me or anyone else.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Trust</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Trust. I usually trust close family and friends, but are hesitant to extend it to strangers. It takes a while to gain my trust, and I suggest you do the same when dating.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you ever heard the expression \"measure twice, cut once?\". I think it\'s mostly for carpenters and woodworkers who want to be sure before making a permanent move. You can always take off a little more, but you can\'t always put it back.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Keeping that phrase in mind while dating wouldn\'t hurt. Why?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We have to be careful. A poor choice in a mate can have huge consequences in a woman\'s life, so we definitely have to measure our men multiple times before committing. One of the ways you should evaluate a man is whether you trust him, so be sure to do that carefully.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">To determine whether you can trust your partner, here are a few tips:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Rely on yourself first. Do you normally make good decisions? Yes? Then trust that you will make the right call.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Depend on your head and your heart. Look for signs. Is he checking out other women when you\'re together? Does he hang around with trustworthy people or does he deal with shadies?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Pay attention to what he is telling you AND showing you and then use that information to help you make informed decisions. Talk is cheap. Watch what he DOES.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Remember that if you have decided that you are going to trust him, then follow through and trust him! Don\'t sit and worry at night, wondering what he\'s doing or if he\'s being unfaithful.?If you feel you have to do that, then a relationship with this guy just isn\'t worth the stress.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Honesty</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Trust and honesty go hand in hand, so let\'s talk about it a bit. Find out if your partner is honest before getting too deeply involved with him.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">How do you know if your guy is honest?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Take the initiative.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You must be honest if you\'re expecting it from your partner. Don\'t hide things, mislead him, or tell little \"white lies\" that are so easy to rationalize: it\'s no big deal if I just hide this small detail, etc.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I know an otherwise really sweet couple who seemed to build their relationship on white lies. I think they were trying to \"spare each other\" from bad stuff, but it ended up backfiring on them. They didn\'t outright lie to each other (at least in their minds), but those little lies formed cracks in their relationship that eventually caused it to collapse.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do your homework.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Find out all you can about your partner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You don\'t have to be obsessed, but do your research within reasonable boundaries.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I don\'t think it\'s necessary to get the cops involved here, but say if you were introduced by a mutual friend or family member, ask that person about your partner. Are they trustworthy? What are they like in private? Find out those types of things and you\'ll quickly get an idea of their honesty.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You\'d ask for a referral and recommendations for anything else you\'re considering -from a plumber to a lawyer-why not get more information on a potential mate?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Last, make sure he knows upfront that honesty is an expectation and you won\'t tolerate anything less.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have conversations about honesty. Make it clear that you are going to be honest and ask him to do the same. It\'s funny how many issues in relationships can be worked out through simple communication. Just talk.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you start your relationship on a good, honest foundation, your chances of success increase greatly over those who choose to be dishonest or shady. And if you inform him upfront that it\'s expected, here\'s his chance to leave if he can\'t handle it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">As with anything else, there is risk involved. If trust is earned and then continues, awesome! But if it gets broken, don\'t beat yourself up and think you failed. You did everything you could.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We all make mistakes, you\'re only human. Learn from it, move on, and eventually you\'ll get it right!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Respect</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">I try to follow \"The Golden Rule\". I try to treat others as I would like to be treated. I want to be respected, so I try my hardest to respect others. It ain\'t easy all of the time, but it\'s worth at least trying!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you have tried giving plenty of respect to your partner, but are not getting it in return, don\'t forget that you have the right to fix that problem. Don\'t just take his lack of respect lying down!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Whether that means talking with him about the lack of respect and asking for changes, or deciding this is not worth your time, make sure you don\'t allow disrespect to continue too long.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">To figure out where you stand, ask yourself these questions:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&bull; Does he respect you? If he demeans, objectifies, or degrades you, you\'re better off leaving. As the investors say on Shark Tank (tm): \"I\'m out\".</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&bull; Notice the way he treats you when you don\'t agree with him. Can you appreciate each other\'s different views without him getting pissed off?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&bull; Find opportunities to be around his closest friends or family. When with familiar people, he will show his true colors eventually. Is he respectful around them?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&bull; How does his family treat you? If they treat you as their equal, not an inferior, that\'s a good sign. Hopefully, he learned good things from them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You also need to be honest with yourself regarding how you view your partner. Do you really value him, too? If you find you don\'t, you need to rethink your relationship.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Step Four: Tidy Up Your List</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">This isn\'t the end, it\'s just the beginning. Your checklist is always growing and changing along with you, so don\'t hesitate to add or even delete items that no longer fit you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The point is that your plan reflects you at all times and if used, will allow you to choose a man who is right for you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Good luck!</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>About the Author</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Nichole White is a counselor and survivor of countless mismanaged romantic relationships and one successful one that led to a happy marriage.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Nowadays, we can do a lot of things on the Internet. For instance, you can buy grocery, plan your vacation, or get a job online. In the same way, you can look for a date online. However, it\'s not as easy as it sounds. If you are looking for a dating partner online, we suggest that you keep a few things in mind. We have discussed some of them in this article. Read on to know more.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>1. Paid vs Free Sites</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">According to Marisa Meltzer, when opting for a dating site, you need to decide whether you want to pay or not. Both types of sites are quite popular. According to a survey done in 2016, over 9,000 people visited these sites in just two years.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you can afford to pay, we suggest that you check out the paid alternatives as well. But it\'s not a must.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>2. Consider Paid Services</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Here, it\'s important to note that the same survey found that the sites that offered services for free had a higher score as far as user satisfaction is concerned. Some experts argue that the sites that require a subscription are preferred by serious users.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We don\'t recommend that you avoid free services. You should check out the free sites to find out more about how people behave on those sites. So, it\'s better to give them a go.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>3. Know that Good Communication Matters</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When visiting subscription-free dating sites, you may want to find out the type of interaction happens over there. Before you meet that person in person, you have to find a site that can satisfy your expectations as far as communication is concerned.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>4. Try Several Sites</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Here, we don\'t recommend that you bounce around hundreds of platforms. What we mean is that you should give your short-listed sites a go before you make a choice. There is nothing to worry if you don\'t get your desired partner right away.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It\'s important to keep in mind that there is not a single dating site that you can give the number one tag to. However, you may want to choose a platform that has the highest rating. For this, of course, you may have to check out several platforms one by one.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>5. Consult Consumer Reports</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">With a quick Google search, you will find that there are a lot of free and paid dating sites. However, if you want to create a list of the most popular platforms, we suggest that you get help from Consumer Reports. The platform will give you enough information about the pros and cons of each site.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Aside from this, you can also read reviews on different dating sites. This will help you find out which sites most users are happy with.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Long story short, if you are in search of the best dating sites, we suggest that you keep the above pointers in mind. They will save you a lot of time when making a short list of good platforms. Just make sure you do your homework before sticking to a site.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you are looking for&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.dattingindia.com/man-seeking-woman/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">single women online</a>, Dating India can be a good platform to check out.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">How often do we hear people say that they never find anyone suitable to date? No matter how hard they try, regularly checking online dating sites, accepting invitations from friends, joining various groups they never seem to meet anyone with whom they really gel. Is there something else going on or are they really ready, available to date and simply unlucky in their quest?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>If this is you, what needs to happen for you to make yourself available to date?</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Work</strong>&nbsp;can place many demands and distractions on our being available to date. Being tired, preoccupied or over committed can mean that we have little free time or energy to enthusiastically make the effort to look attractive and be receptive to someone else\'s charms. Preparing to meet someone new requires a certain amount of effort, time and money and there\'s not always much left over if we\'re immersed in business demands, deadlines and family preoccupations.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We may not even be sure how free we\'ll be to wholeheartedly pursue a new relationship in the coming weeks and months. Working long hours or being regularly away from home can put a dampener on our desire to date. We\'re already so busy that even thinking about the early days of a new relationship can feel like too much effort to bother. Yet building a business or career is often done with one eye on our future expectations, looking forward to settling with a partner, having a family, building a home together.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Taking care to find a better balance in life often incorporates a shift in mindset where we include all areas of life and make ourselves available to date.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Friends</strong>&nbsp;know us well and may insist that they really want to see us settled and loved-up in a great new relationship, but is that really the case? Are you sure that deep down inside they\'re okay about the existing dynamics of your friendship changing, where your time and loyalty may begin to be influenced by the need to consider someone else?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You may notice a change in their behaviour as they start to need you more, or become negative or critical of any potential new suitor. Pay attention to that happening and try to discuss how you\'re both feeling. Provide reassurance that they\'ll always be important and determine to maintain regular contact, even if at times it has to be done by phone or online.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Family</strong>&nbsp;can be an interesting one, especially if you\'re very close to your siblings or parents. Siblings may be jealous at the prospect of their brother or sister dating, especially if they\'ve shared a lot, have perhaps helped each other through tough times, survived a breakup and spent many hours together sharing confidences and advice, checking in on a regular basis.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Daughters and mums</strong>. Girls will often say that their mum is their best friend, they call each other every day, discuss everything. But there\'s a saying, give your children roots to grow and wings to fly. Some mothers struggle with letting go and are over-reliant on their daughters for companionship. They may be possessive, loathe to lose their intense closeness to a new third-party.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If a mother refuses to let go she can hi-jack the possibility of a burgeoning new relationship for her daughter. Often in a position of influence, she may always be present with money, treats, inside knowledge of which buttons to press. She may phone regularly, constantly available to help out and provide support at a minute\'s notice. How can a potential new relationship compete with such an intimate, long-established bond?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Sons and dads</strong>&nbsp;too are often great companions, sharing hobbies and interests, maybe spending hours together over a joint love of sport, cars, etc. Some may work together and be best mates. A new girlfriend may be a major intrusion into the amount of time they usually choose to spend together. As with mothers and daughters, it can be tough to break away if the father is reluctant to step back and decides to come on strong with the guilt, loyalty or \'why bother with him or her\' card.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you\'ve started to realise how much you\'re struggling to make yourself available to date, accept that the change has to come from you. You need to determine what\'s going on or going wrong. Any new relationship requires effort, compromise and can sometimes feel like hard work.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you\'re ultimately wanting to settle down, perhaps find a longtime companion, maybe start a family, some things may have to change. Being firmer and more assertive with some of your existing relationships may well be a step you\'ll have to take. You need to be prepared to do what it takes to make yourself mentally, physically and emotionally ready to meet someone who could fulfill you and satisfy your relationship needs. Then you\'ll be available to date!</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Susan Leigh, counsellor, hypnotherapist, relationship counsellor, writer &amp; media contributor offers help with relationship issues, stress management, assertiveness and confidence.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">*Safety First - Before you go on this date, make sure you have thought about who will be in control at what times, and of what situations. You don\'t want to be caught fighting with yourself over a decision when you need to make one. Decide in advance what behaviors and situations will be acceptable to you and what won\'t. As long as you are comfortable and feel your boundaries have not been breached, you can relax and enjoy the moment. However, once a line is crossed, you must be willing to take control of yourself and not just go along with something you find uncomfortable, unacceptable, or dangerous.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Here are some ways to figure out what your boundaries are in advance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>First Date - or Later Dates</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Boundaries will be different on the first date than on later dates. The more you know your date, the more relaxed you can be. In the beginning, however, set the line pretty high. If your new date shows signs of rage, drunkenness, hysteria, rudeness, disrespect (such as leaving you alone and flirting with others) recklessness, or other embarrassing or dangerous behavior, do not be polite or tolerant. Remember, your date is supposed to be on his or her best behavior, and if you tolerate this, it will only get worse.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If your date\'s behavior gets seriously out of line, don\'t hesitate to leave. If you\'re driving for both of you, tell your date you will take him or her home immediately. If you\'re not the one driving, tell your date you want to be driven home (unless the driver\'s been drinking too much), and if that doesn\'t work get yourself home by taxi or public transportation. Yes, it\'s rude to leave your date, male or female, at the restaurant, in a bar, at a party, or at a movie, but your date makes it necessary if he or she has already been rude or out of line. If the date is your treat, leave enough money to pay the check, or see the waiter before you leave. If you stick to your limits on the first date, you\'ll find that your date will get the message, and either move on to someone else (good riddance!), or apologize and correct the unacceptable behavior.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Here\'s a partial list of limits you should mentally set in advance - there\'s no need to talk about them unless the lines are being crossed.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Your drink limit (driving and not driving)</li>\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Your date\'s drink limit (driving and not driving)</li>\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Behavior limits (rudeness, social acceptability)</li>\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Sexual limits (don\'t allow yourself to be pressured)</li>\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Territory limits (not going to dangerous places)</li>\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Distance limits (not getting too far from home)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n* Avoid Anxiety, Giddiness\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Your first date is exciting and energizing. Have fun and enjoy the moment, but be aware if you get too excited, anxious and giddy, you might come on too strong. Don\'t let your anxiety prevent your date from seeing the real you. Remember this is just a first date, and don\'t get too far ahead in your fantasies. This is a crucial time for learning about this other person, so take your time and allow the relationship to develop.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Be Charming</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t underestimate how powerful your smile can be - use it often, make eye contact and keep the conversation flowing. Pay attention to what interests you about your date, and show interest in his or her opinions, experiences and activities. Be complementary whenever possible, and respond intelligently to whatever is said to you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Have Fun - Don\'t Get Too Heavy</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Keep your date light and easy, and have a good time. Focus on being pleasant, having fun, and not getting too far ahead of the relationship, and you will be great company. Be careful not to soliloquize - don\'t talk too long about any one subject without inviting a comment from your date.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Keep Conversation Interesting, Light, No Deep Secrets</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You can talk about anything, including your personal lives, past relationships and love in general, but don\'t be the one who brings up the intimate topics first. Be wary of prying too deeply into your date\'s private life and secrets, unless the information is voluntarily offered.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Don\'t Talk Too Much about Yourself</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Keep your focus on learning about your date and don\'t talk too much about yourself. Dole out some information about you, especially if it relates to what your date is saying, but don\'t talk endlessly about your own life, opinions, experiences or activities. Punctuate your conversation with questions: \"What do you think?\" \"Has it been that way for you?\" And&nbsp;<em>listen&nbsp;</em>to the answers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* Pay Attention!!! You Have Things to Learn Here!</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The most important aspect of this date, in addition to having a good time, is to get to know each other better. No matter how excited, turned on or thrilled you may be about this date, listening to what your date says, watching what your date does and understanding how your date feels are still your primary objectives.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">* What Your Date Thinks of You Is Not Your Business - Your Business Is What You Think of Your Date.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">One of the easiest ways to lose your objectivity and balance in this is to worry about what your date thinks about you. If you spend your time essentially trying to look at yourself through your date\'s eyes, guessing what he or she is seeing when looking at you, or hearing when listening to you, you\'ll miss what\'s really happening. You\'re supposed to be evaluating the&nbsp;<em>other</em>&nbsp;person, not thinking, positively or negatively, about yourself.. Pay attention so you know what YOU think of your date.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Hopefully, because you\'ve thought about the serious issues in advance, you\'ll still be able to relax and have a good time - so good, that you decide to keep dating each other. Then, you\'ll need a whole new set of skills.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Tina B.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For many people being in a relationship gives them a sense of identity, purpose and belonging. They feel that having that special someone, no matter how much of a compromise is required, allows them to comfortably fit into their social group, especially if everyone in their circle is partnered. Being single can feel alone, lonely and an outsider.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Letting the pressure to be partnered build up</strong>&nbsp;can distract you into making bad decisions, feel impelled to hook-up with someone out of a feeling of necessity. That might be okay in the short-term as a temporary stopgap, offering companionship for a time, but it\'s important to recognise that for what it is.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So often people feel bereft when a relationship ends. Even the ending of a bad relationship can feel like a failure, generating fear, apprehension, anxiety. There may be concerns about the future; will I meet someone else, how long will I be on my own, should I have tried harder or stayed with the relationship I had?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- But there\'s nowhere more lonely than a loveless marriage,</strong>&nbsp;where one person stays because of financial reasons, a fear of being alone or of upsetting the children or family. The tension, underlying resentment, hostility or constant bickering can make for a very unhappy household. There\'s nothing \'special\' about a relationship that\'s missing love or mutual respect.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When we\'re desperate to find a special someone it can cause more problems than it resolves. Defining ourselves and others through our relationship status can miss the real point of having someone important with whom to share our life. That person should add value, not provide the sole reason for our existence.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- Some people may even enter our lives in a purely temporary capacity.</strong>&nbsp;As such, they may provide the impetus for us to move on from a bad situation, enthuse us to review our lives, change career, update our image, introduce us to new exciting hobbies and interests. But once that\'s on track they may well then fade from our orbit.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Other people may be fair-weather friends or lovers, great when everything\'s going well but not much good during stormy times. They can\'t or don\'t want to deal with any of our mess, troubles or complications. Conversely there are those people who love nothing more than to coach, problem-solve and fix us, the foul-weather friends and lovers who enjoy deep and meaningful sessions but don\'t much care to party or socialise.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Having a relationship with either may work well for a time, but is unlikely to be a long-term solution to your relationship status. But equally, not all special relationships have to be permanent.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- An important step is to ask yourself what you want from a relationship</strong>; do you really need a special someone, does your life literally revolve around having a significant other in your life, does your relationship status define who you are? What does that look like to you? It\'s important to know if you\'re prepared to wait for the right person to come along, no matter how long that may take.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Some people may be focussed on getting married or living permanently together, for others that would be too intrusive. Some may want a constant partner where they do everything together, discuss everything, share every aspect of their lives, but others like to keep some independence and separateness, enjoying specific times together, like holidays or weekends, but living their own lives at other times.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- To find our special someone</strong>&nbsp;it\'s good to first start working on yourself. Ask yourself who\'s the most important person in your life. Even if you still have young children it\'s best if the answer is you. When you feel good about yourself, healthy, happy and at peace, everyone in your life benefits.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Then you find that your quality of life improves and you realise that you\'d rather be alone that with someone who\'s not right for you, who\'s unsupportive or brings negative energy into your home. Being on your own is better than good enough or fine, once you\'re comfortable in your own company.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>- When you learn to love yourself&nbsp;</strong>you find ways to communicate your thoughts and feelings to others and are able to define appropriate boundaries of acceptable and unacceptable treatment and behaviour. Your desperate need to have a special someone abates and you\'re able to be more selective and discerning, able to find someone who complements you and adds value to your life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You become clearer about the things you will and won\'t accept. Sure, some things that bother others may be fine by you; that\'s good for you to know and can help you to become clearer about what you want from a partner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It\'s liberating to realise that a special someone is only special because they\'re right for you. The relationship then becomes a wonderful outcome and addition, rather than a necessity in your life.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Susan Leigh, counsellor, hypnotherapist, relationship counsellor, writer &amp; media contributor offers help with relationship issues, stress management, assertiveness and confidence.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It is not strange for a couple to discover that they are going to be parents, when that is the last situation they would have liked to face in life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">An unplanned pregnancy can cause psychological torture in the minds of some young people.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In this article, I want to share unplanned pregnancy advice with young people so that they can ride this storm, if they happen to find themselves in such a situation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, what should you do if you discover you are going to have a baby you have not planned for?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">1. The Boyfriend Should Support His Girlfriend</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The first thing to do when you get to know that your girlfriend is going to have a baby is to pledge your support for her. Assure her of your love and pledge to stick with her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Additionally, encourage her by telling her that all shall be well. Let her feel that she did not make a mistake by choosing to accept you as her boyfriend.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Avoid saying words such as, \"Are you a kid! How could you allow yourself to get pregnant! I am not ready to have a baby! You must abort it or else it is over!\" That is pride which you must swallow in the interest of the baby.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Understand that your girlfriend is going through emotional upheaval. So, say words that will soothe her spirit and calm her down.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">2. Accept the Reality</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You have to face the fact that you are both going to be new parents very soon. therefore, channels all your enegrgies and emotions into discussing what you will do now to salvage the situation, and not on blaming each other, accusing each other, and wallowing in self-pity.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">3. Forget the Past</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Focusing on the past and on the mistake you have made is like driving on a road with your eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Yes, occasionally think about the mistake you have made so that you can learn lessons from it--lessons which will help you to avoid this mistake again in the future. However, both of you need to concentrate on the road ahead. Try to keep your eyes fixed on the future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Furthermore, forgive yourself and forgive your partner. Remind yourself that as human s you are, you are bound to make terrible mistakes sometimes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Forgiving yourself will give both of you peace of mind so that you can both use the whole of your mental faculties to having brainstorming sessions to come up with constructive ideas to help resolve the problem.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">4. Choose to Be Resilient</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">An unplanned pregnancy can be very stressful for youth, especially if you are both teenagers. This is because you are already going through internal changes which you sometimes find difficult to come to terms with. So, when such a negative external change is added, it can make you feel that the whole world is coming to an end.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, you must choose to be resilient so that you will be able to weather the storm and get on with your life. Resilience is the ability to recover from shocking news or disappointments without going to pieces, or learning to adjust to change.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Choosing to be resilient will help you in three ways:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&middot; It will help you to endure the new situation so that it does not adversely affect your studies or your work;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&middot; It will help you to look at the seeming terrible situation and see an opportunity in it;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&middot; You are less likely to start taking drugs or drinking alcohol when you feel overwhelmed by your new situation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">5. Try to Be Patient With Your Lover</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">An unplanned pregnancy in a relationship can cause all sorts of emotions to rise in your partner. This will cause your lover to feel confused as he or she tries to decide how to feel about the whole situation and which option to choose to solve the problem.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Therefore, the man or woman who was so loving can suddenly start treating you as if he or she does not love you anymore.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, you will need to exercise some patience and try to understand that your partner may not be thinking straight at this moment. This will help to prevent misunderstandings and fights which will break your front as a loving couple. At this time, what you need is teamwork and cooperation, and not division.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">6. Estimate the Financial Cost of Taking Care of a Baby</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">One unplanned pregnancy in a relationship advice which you must consider is to find out how much you will need in order to take care of your baby from the website of the US Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. (cnpp.usda.gov).</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Consider taking up more jobs or starting a home-based job or doing online work. For example, working as a writer or editor online can help you to make about $61,240 a year, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Writing and editing are jobs anyone without prior experience can learn how to do easily.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">7. Choose Not to Abort the Baby</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Some young men and women choose to abort a baby because they feel they cannot cater for a baby financially, or because they feel they are not in a position to handle the responsibilities that go with looking after a baby.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, this contravenes God\'s command not to kill, for in God\'s eyes a fetus is a living being and so destroying a fetus is murder in His eyes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, have faith in God and believe He will provide ways for you to take care of the baby. Furthermore, remind yourself that the baby in the mother\'s womb can be a blessing for the two of you, if you choose to keep it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Additionally, do not forget that there are options you can consider. For example, you can give your baby up for adoption, or you can fall on relatives and friends to help you take care of the baby.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Conclusion</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">This is the&nbsp;<strong>unplanned pregnancy advice</strong>&nbsp;I have for you. The most important thing to remember in all of this is that you can outmaneuver the challenge and emerge stronger and happier if you adopt some of the tips in this article.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Isaac Nunoofio is a freelance writer and blogger for hire.

Or could it be something in&nbsp;<em>you</em>, which might hinder your ability to find the intimate relationship you so much long for?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Well, it is easy and \"comfortable\" to believe that it is all a matter of not yet finding the \"special one\". It is convenient to think that \"many out there\" are just inappropriate for you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">But is it really so? Could it also be that something in you, after all, hinders you from finding \"the one and only\"? And if this is the case, is there anything you can do about it?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Indeed, there is a lot that you can do about it. And this \"a lot\" can be summarized in one sentence: you need to get to know yourself better; to understand what it is that stands in your way from finding and cultivating a good intimacy; to realize what might have caused you to sabotage your relationships until now.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You can call such a process \"cognitive therapy\" that you will take upon yourself to pursue all by yourself; or you can call this process \"becoming aware\", which will bring to the surface thinking and behavioral patterns which might have stood in your way from having a successful relationship until now.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">What it all boils down to is: are you willing, truly willing, to find out how you come across to others; what are your needs; how you might stand in your own way from cultivating a satisfying relationship; and, finally, how you can go about becoming self-aware of the many ways in which you might have - unintentionally and unconsciously - sabotaged your relationships until now, and how to make a change for the better?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Taking responsibility is the name of the game. Taking responsibility for your failures, as well as responsibility to becoming self-aware and taking the necessary steps to change whatever needs change.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Becoming responsible and self-aware doesn\'t necessarily mean you need to stop \"meeting\" others on social media. The opposite might even be true: as you work on becoming aware, each and every person you \"meet\" can mirror something back to you and so \"tell\" you something about yourself. With each and every person you meet you can realize what projections you \"throw\" at them, and what causes you to project into them those aspects and parts of yourself: is it jealousy? Stubbornness? Stinginess? Shyness? Vulnerability? Insecurity?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The more self-aware you become the more you begin to observe yourself \"as if from the side\" and thus realize how you behave and think, and consequently what you need to change in your thinking, attitudes and behaviors in order to finally find and cultivate the successful intimate relationship you long for.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Doron Gil, Ph.D., is a relationships expert, a university teacher, workshop leader, counsellor and consultant.

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You are in a relationship, everything is in the open between you and your partner. There is nothing in this world that you can\'t do or ask between the two of you. But you are all human. There are deeper aspects of the relationship that you may need to ask about.<br />However way you choose to go about them please do not do this to her...</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t Be Unfair<br />She is he person whom you have decided to be exclusive. Always try to look at her in a positive light. She is the last person you would wish harm to come her way. Why do you want to be unfair to her?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Why do you want to judge your partner the same way you judge your friends! She is special that\'s why you chose her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you don\'t like something about her, don\'t you think it is wise to talk to her in a way she gets to know what you would have preferred be done.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Some habits are hard to shake off and if your partner makes an effort to fight off that nagging one, a rewarding kiss or a big hug would be a hood way to appreciate her effort. This small gesture will steer her in tune.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">No Blame Game<br />You do not want to create or increase the level of distrust. No heart can be warmed when you keep blaming instead of taking responsibility for your actions. You could be blaming her for something you initiated. Create a problem solving atmosphere in an open way that makes her feel included. This way of sorting problems will lead to a healthier relationship.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do Not Confront Your Partner in Public or Private<br />As you walk the path of love as one, Chances are that, whatever irks you will make her angrier. An honest communication between the two of you cannot create a room for unnecessary altercations. Focus on what she says before you respond. Your response should be void of criticism, blame or demands. when the two of you are angry chose to be with and steer the conversation in a less angry tone. She will only calm down when you show that you understand why she is angry and you trying to sort it out.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do Not Try to Change What You Don\'t Understand<br />What\'s upsetting her?... She looks unsettled and the first thing you want to tell her is \'relax sweetheart\'. Kindly try to understand what is bothering her first. If there was none she would be so comfortable on your lap. To show her your curiosity and openness on the matter is the biggest step in making her relax.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t Break up With Your Partner Twice<br />If you are in the habit of breaking in and out of your relationships, one of this days you will end up alone and sorry. If you want a break up, say it and get through with it so it doesn\'t look like a threat or an attention seeking antic.<br />Create a calm environment to initiate the break up conversation. Don\'t do this in the middle of an argument. Your anger may cloud your judgement on what she has to say about the breakup.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t Put Her on a Defensive Mode<br />You either trust her or you don\'t. If you don\'t please walk away because she doesn\'t have to explain to her close friends why it is difficult for her to believe in you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t be Silent on Difficult and Uncomfortable Things<br />Your partner is in the relationship because of what she believes in. What you believe in is an addition to her own self-worth and confidence in the relationship. Talk openly about your fears. She will feel involved and open up on the uncomfortable truths that initially you could not talk about. Doing this is more like fighting your own insecurities with the help of your partner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">A long, stable, and lasting relationship depends on how you view your partner, how you relate to your partner, how you communicate with your partner and most vital is how you listen to your partner.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Bill_Arigi/2560304\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Bill_Arigi/2560304</a></p>\r\n</div>');

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Adwoa Mansah wants to feel close to her husband. So one day after work, she said to him, \"Yaw, I do not feel that our relationship is where I want it to be. Incorporate me deeper into your life so that I can feel closer to you.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you also feel that your marriage is not what you want it to be and that you are not as close as you wish to be to your spouse, here are a few things you can do to help you develop that closeness.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">1. Continue To Develop Your Friendship<br />Make it a point to try to find out two new things about your partner every day. Ask probing questions about your partner\'s past and his aspirations and hopes for the future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When you bring out new things about your spouse or partner, you will continue to wonder what you are still yet to uncover about your spouse and your partner will continue to seem intriguing to you every time and you are more likely to enjoy his company as a result. So you will love to spend time with him and as you share moments together often, you will develop the camaraderie between the two of you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Additionally, getting to know your spouse better will make you find it easier to mindfully do for your spouse the things that will make him feel happy, and you will also find it easier to consciously avoid issues that can create conflicts.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">2. Communicate In Loving Ways<br />Make it a point to talk to each other for at least 10 minutes a day whether your partner is at home or not. Let him know how you feel about him and the relationship, what you fear about the future, what he does that you like and what he does that you do not like, hopes you have for yourself, and how you want your relationship to grow.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When you are communicating with your partner or your spouse, look into his face often, make eye contact, smile often, speak in a controlled, calm manner and let him feel the energy in your voice.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Additionally, learn to listen when your spouse has concerns that he wants to share with you. Do not say to him \"at another r time\" or \"I don\'t have time now.\" Saying things like these will make your spouse feel disrespected and he may get bitter and seek revenge, which will break the connection between the two of you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So, even if for a minute, try to listen to what your spouse has to say to you. If you are busy, let him know that you can give him only one minute and you will listen to the rest of the story at a later date.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Keeping the lines of communication open always will help to enhance the flow of information and feelings between the two of you so that you can always feel that you are a team.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You can resolve differences and misunderstandings easily and build trust and that can make you feel that you are on the same page.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">3. Laugh Together Often<br />It is true that fights and disagreements are part of any relationship. However, some couples focus on their differences instead of focusing on doing things that will make them feel comfortable with each other and that draws them apart and they keep moving apart until there is nothing left to make them feel that there is a relationship anymore.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, when you find time to generate positive feelings in your body, when you sit as a couple from time to time, recall funny incidents from the past, funny incidents from the days when you were dating, and when you recount witty comments your spouse has passed in the past and you laugh over them, it will help to foster unity. Consequently, the bond of love will continue to remain strong.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Conclusion<br />When your spouse says to you, \"Incorporate me deeper into your life,\" developing your friendship, communicating effectively, and laughing together often will help you to do that.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Isaac Nunoofio is a freelance writer and blogger for hire.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Do you really know yourself? I\'m not talking about superficial stuff like your favorite color or dress size. Know thyself is always the first rule because self-awareness is essential to everything, especially finding a soul mate. How can you seek to understand another when you lack a deep understanding of yourself? This article presents four tips to help you get acquainted.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>4 Tips</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Clarify your values.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nValues are strong beliefs. They say everything about you. With that said, what do you stand for? Someone once said, \"If you don\'t stand for something, you\'ll fall for anything.\" Is there a guiding philosophy directing how you think and behave? Moreover, what is most important concerning relationships? Can two&nbsp;<em>walk&nbsp;</em>together except they be agreed (Amos 3:3)?\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Likewise, do you know your limitations? Simply put, do you consider certain values to be non-negotiable? At some point, everyone draws a line. The point is to not lose sight of yourself and become blinded by emotions. Avoid unnecessary confusion and heartache; clarify what you believe.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Acknowledge your strengths.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf you\'re waiting for a<em>&nbsp;knight</em>&nbsp;in shining armor to ride in and save the day or sweep you off your feet, don\'t hold your breath; the chances are slim. Now I\'m not saying that God can\'t send a miracle your way. While you\'re in a holding pattern, nevertheless, take stock of your abilities. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Never forget that you\'ve been uniquely equipped with skills, talents, and special qualities. Yes, you are endowed with something to bring to the relationship. Furthermore, you\'re not looking for your soul mate to tell you who you are or what you have. He confirms what you already know.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Be honest with yourself.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIn addition to being aware of your strengths, take stock of your shortcomings. No one is perfect; you\'re human. At the same time, don\'t pretend to be something that you are not. Be yourself. If you must put on a performance to be accepted something\'s wrong.\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: inside;\">\r\n<li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>Understand your personality type.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis tip is priceless. You have a personality that clicks in certain environments, and it clicks better with certain people. Are you type A or B? Extrovert or introvert? A personality assessment will provide answers to these questions and more. You deserve to know.\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Hence, understanding your personality type benefits you in three ways. First, you gain insight about why you think and behave a certain way. Second, you discover the differences between the various personality types. Third, you uncover important information about your interactions with others.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">You\'re invited to visit&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.everythingleadership.store/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https://www.everythingleadership.store</a>&nbsp;to download a FREE Myers Briggs Personality Questionnaire.pdf.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Stephanie_Harbin/77858\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Stephanie_Harbin/77858</a></p>\r\n</div>');

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">A kiss can make a lasting impression. It can tell someone how you are truly feeling, how loving you can be, and so much more. It is so important to make sure that you keep the passion alive with your significant other, especially when it comes to kissing. Sometimes, all it can take is just a few basic moves that can help you get your kisses into \"pucker up\" shape once again, and that\'s why we are here. We are going to give you some tips and tricks to get your kissing techniques up-to-par and ready for whatever comes your way, whether it be a first date, or, rekindling the romance with the love of your life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>1. Be Clear of Your Intentions</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">First and foremost, it is crucial that you make very clear your intentions when it comes to where the kiss is leading, especially when you are with your significant other. It is quite easy to give the wrong impressions when you kiss someone. So, if you are waiting for a kiss from whoever you are with, there are a few clues that you can give to make the signal clearer. For example, when you are talking with them, begin to focus on their lips ever so slightly. The most effective way to do this is to look down at them every once in a while in the middle of the conversation that you are having. Another subtle hint to give your significant other is to lean in toward them slowly as you are talking. If your partner, or date, begins to lean in toward you as well, you will know that all systems are go for you to take the leap and give them a smooch.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>2. Soft and Slow</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you ever been on a date with someone, and your first kiss with them was aggressive, or just plain stiff? If you have, then this, of course, is a big no-no, right? Being too aggressive or stiff with your kissing can make things very awkward. So, when you lean in for the kiss, start off soft and slow. There is no need to get hot and heavy right away. Playing it slowly can intensify the passion between the two of you, and it will become clear if there is real chemistry between you or not.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>3. Meet Them Halfway</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you heard of the concept of going a small percentage of the way into the kiss, say 10 percent, and making your partner come the rest of the way? This has been played out in movies and shows for as long as we can remember, but it is totally true! When you are kissing your significant other, or date, you should only lean in about 50 percent of the way (sometimes less), and let your partner come the rest of the way into the kiss. Even if you feel as though you are the dominant person in the relationship, it may be time for you to hold back and let the passion make its way to you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>4. Other Than the Lips</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Now, don\'t go crazy here at the beginning, but this tip can really turn up the heat when you are kissing your love. Of course, you have already started kissing softly and slowly at the beginning, but if you feel as though this is starting to get boring between the two of you, it may be time to switch it up a bit. Take your kiss to their cheek, or even make your way down to the nape of their neck, and give them a few kisses and even a nibble or two. If you\'re feeling really daring, make your way up to their ear, giving them a kiss or a tug with your lips, and whisper a sweet nothing in their ear. You\'ll make your intentions and your love for them more than clear.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>5. Mix Things up a Bit</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">This tip coincides a bit with the tips we just gave you, but if you are feeling like you are in a kissing rut with your significant other (or just with dating in general), it may be time for you to switch things up a bit. Pacing yourself is always good, of course, in most situations, but if you are wanting to spice things up a bit, go for it! Show your love you are feeling more passionate by kissing them harder than you usually do. Intensify the moment.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>6. Practice Makes Perfect</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">This may seem like a silly, and maybe even an obvious tip, but practice does make things much better in this situation too! Try out some of these tips and tricks on your next date that you are on, or try it when you have a date night in with your significant other. Just remember that there may be instances when trying out new things is a bit awkward, and that\'s totally normal! It\'s different, and it\'s new, making it something that you have to get used to. That\'s why it\'s called practice, right?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>7. Take Advantage of Your Teeth</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you are really wanting to turn up the passion between you and your partner, or even your date, there is nothing that screams passion more than giving their lips a little tug with your teeth. Of course, don\'t bite down hard enough to cause any bleeding or pain, but gentle enough that it gives a bit of a tease. This is a very straightforward sign to your significant other that you are ready for more passion in that scenario.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>8. Put Your Head in a Different Position</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you ever been kissing someone you really care about, and notice that you always tend to lean your head toward one side, and keep it there? Then this tip is for you. It may do some good to change your head position a bit to create some movement and life in the kiss. Of course, you can\'t kiss straight on as noses get in the way; Instead, switch from one side to the other. It will give the feeling that you are more into the moment, and that you are taking in your partner wholeheartedly during your kiss.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Of course, it is important to remember that these are just some helpful tricks that we have come up with to heat things up with your love, but it doesn\'t mean that they are the right things for you and your relationship. Make sure that you feel comfortable with what is going on, because if you don\'t feel comfortable with the situation, then no one will be. Kissing is meant to be a sweet, compassionate, and loving aspect of our relationships that helps us to show our emotion in a different way. Take advantage of these tips, and even modify them to make them your own! We hope you enjoyed our tips; Now, pucker up!</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">BiggieTips - Tips and Tricks for your daily life (&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"http://www.biggietips.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http://www.biggietips.com</a>&nbsp;)</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We are dedicated to BIG TIPS to help you get things done more efficiently.

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">What is your expectation?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It is very important to know what your expectations are. Why? This is because it is the first step to bring clarity in a chaotic situation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">So before acting, you must ask yourself what your expectations are. Do you want her to be your girlfriend, a friend (with or without benefits) or you see her as your life partner. This step is of paramount importance because it will tell you about the authenticity of your emotions.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you done enough work?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">After finding the authenticity of your emotions you must ask yourself another question. And the question is- Have you done enough work?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Have you done enough work to get a positive response from her? Answer this question in yes or no. Ask yourself have you created enough chemistry and understanding? Is there empathy between you and her?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The reason I want you to answer this question in yes or no because whenever our mind is overwhelmed by the emotion of love then it starts playing tricks with us. It exaggerates situations in our mind and makes us believe that the girl also holds some feelings within her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">A lot of people fall in their mind\'s trick and as a result, they get a negative and cold response. To avoid this mistake be aware of your mind\'s tricks.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">How to tell if a girl likes you?</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The best way to tell if a girl likes you or not is to express your feelings to her. Some people will say what about indirect ways like taking the help of a mutual friend, reading her body language etc.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Let me tell you the one more brutal truth. I respect your feelings but still, there are many attention seekers and players around us. They give us false signals and forces our mind to play tricks on us. Such people just want attention.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">To opt out this possibility I will advise you to directly express your feelings to her.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The truth about getting success in love</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In my book Irresistible qualities which ATTRACT FEMININE, I have said that hygiene is of paramount importance in seduction. This is because a bad breath or body odor can literally end things before it gets started.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For a feminine cleanliness is very important. To move further we must at all cost qualify this requirement (cleanliness or hygiene).</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Like this, I have talked about many turn-ons and turn-offs in this book. I have also talked about few qualities which a feminine cannot resist. In any aspect of life namely finance, career, love etc success depends on our competence.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Ultimately the question which comes up is - are you competent enough to achieve it or not? The only thing which matters is our competence.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Pooja_Yadav/2554201\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Pooja_Yadav/2554201</a></p>\r\n</div>');

margin-top: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: \'Avenir Next\', Arial, \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<div id=\"article-content\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Being the best girlfriend doesn\'t have to be difficult. Simply being trusting, open and focused can go a long way to help you stand out. Let\'s take a look at a few things that can help to maintain the happy relationship:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be trusting</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Trust in very important in any relationship. Men aren\'t likely to like or appreciate the overly suspicious girlfriend. If you aren\'t able to fully trust your partner, you may not be in a relationship with the right person. Try to avoid the type of situations that lead you to searching his phone or questioning his whereabouts. You should instead have faith in your relationship. By showing that you trust your partner there is a much better chance that he will meet your expectations.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Maintain your focus</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t get in a position of letting your relationship be the sole focus point in your life. Beyond your relationship, you should also have your own interests and life. Whatever it was that you did before the relationship started is likely to be what made you interesting to your partner in the first place.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be open and honest</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If there is something going on in your life that is concerning you and your partner asks what the problem is, you should simply tell him. Try to let him know what you need and what you think. It will typically benefit to avoid a situation that leaves him making guesses to try to find you what the problem is.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be attentive</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">There is a very noticeable difference when it comes to being clingy and being attentive when out and about. It is best to avoid being overly clingy because this will give the impression that you are very needy. If you are in a happy relationship there shouldn\'t be any need to prove to others that you are together. Additionally, it is important to avoid flirting with your partner\'s friends.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t hassle or argue</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Make sure to avoid getting in a situation where you regularly hassle or argue with each other. In most situations the other person will simply tune out when they start to get nagged.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Respect each others space</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Most men don\'t want to be a constant companion or always be open to discussing their feelings. If you try to discuss his problems when he isn\'t ready or want him to be with you all the time, there is a risk that you may simply push him away. It can benefit to simply be patient and leave him the time to start a conversation that relates to private issues. Take things slowly to give the relationship the time it needs to develop naturally.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t attempt to change him</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It isn\'t likely to help a relationship if you want to change your partner. It is more practical to accept him as he is. If you aren\'t happy with things like his occupation, what he says, or the way he dresses, then he isn\'t likely to be the right one for you. When you partner accepts you without wanting to make changes, you should be willing to be just as accepting.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Get involved</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be more involved in what interests your partner. Whether it is craft beers, music, sports or politics, you should try to engage with him and at least listen when he talks about his day and what he has been up to.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Why not learn more about how to&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.helpwithmen.com/how-to-be-a-better-girlfriend/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">be a better girlfriend</a>.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992</a></p>\r\n</div>');

If you are able to feel naturally comfortable with yourself, you will have a much easier time getting a guy to notice you. There are likely to be many steps that you can take to help you feel confident.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Simply having confidence will increase the change of good things happening. For instance, if you know a lot about or good at something you will naturally feel confident.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you are feeling insecure at the time of trying to get a guy\'s attention, you may not be able to properly show your personality and the real you. When you aren\'t able to feel confident, you will find it more difficult to get someone to like you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">There are plenty of ways to help improve on your confidence. This can simply relate to things you are good at, things related to your personality, or your physical qualities.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Positive attitude</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Good things often come to those that have a naturally positive outlook on life because they are simply more open and accepting. If you are able to display a positive energy and a smile on your face, you will certainly appear more friendly and intriguing. Positive energy and optimism can be contagious and this can be an effective way to have someone want to find out more about you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, for those that are more negative in nature, this can easily push people away and they will be less likely to want to spend time with that type of person. A few of the negative behaviors to avoid are likely to include making mean comments and gossiping too much. Also, those that have a short temper can come across as negative as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Try to maintain a positive demeanor and have a fresh outlook on life to make you look and feel good.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Great impression</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Making a great first impression is certain to be helpful when meeting someone who you are interested in. Meeting someone for the first time is certain to be more successful if able to overcome any nervousness. If you are shy or quiet you will find in more difficult to get your personality across and can even appear quite indifferent.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If you really want to make that great impression, make sure to be nice and polite and even in the event of saying or doing something embarrassing, you should quickly brush it off and carry on. You want to give the impression that you are approachable, so make sure to stay casual and cool at all times.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Be unique</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The ability to show that you are different and special is certain to help to make a great impression. However, you should avoid doing something simply for the sake of it. That is more likely to make you appear desperate and less like a genuine person. Try to highlight the things that make you different to everyone else. Being unique is a really effective way to get a guy to notice you.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Discover many more things about&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.helpwithmen.com/how-to-get-a-guy-to-notice-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">how to get his attention</a>.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992</a></p>\r\n</div>');

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Most guys will make the effort to impress you at the start of a relationship. But over time and when things become familiar, the many things that were done to impress you may simply slow down or completely stop. If he starts to believe you will always be there, there is likely to be a lot less effort put into the relationship. When the relationship starts to show these signs, you need to show that you are prepared to walk away if he continues to neglect you. If he does really want to be with you, he will make the necessary changes and treat you better.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Let\'s take a look at a few things that can let a guy know he is losing you:</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Don\'t make so much effort</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If a partner starts to expect too much, it may be time for you to stop making such an effort. This may relate to simply taking you for granted for everyday things like doing his grocery shopping, planning dates, or cooking his dinner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Even if you stop doing the small things for a short period, this action is certain to make him realize he shouldn\'t rely on you so much and give a big wake up call. Basically, if you are able to treat him much the same way as he treats you, it will encourage him to stand on his own feet. This can be an effective way to let your guy know that he isn\'t treating you right.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">If he does start to complain about the way you are acting, you can simply say you are doing much the same as he is. You want to make sure your relationship doesn\'t become too one-sided, which can simply cause a lot of problems in the long-term.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Go out with friends</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Getting a regular break from your partner can be very helpful for a relationship. Many couples over a period of time simply spend their time together and rarely leave the house without each other. This isn\'t likely to make a healthy relationship for the long-term.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Make sure to go out with friends on occasion with your partner left at home. Try to have fun during this time and avoid thinking about what he may be up to or to check your phone in the evening.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Once you show that you are able to be independent, there is the likelihood that your partner with start to feel he is missing out and realize that he really needs you in his life. Also, if you spend all your time together, your presence in his day-to-day life is not likely to be something special. You want to make him feel like he is missing out on something, and will therefore look to get more involved with you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Suggest a break</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Taking a short break can either make you realize that it is time to be single or it could save the relationship. This can be a very effective way to make things clearer if you aren\'t entirely sure if you want to make a long-term commitment.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">For many couples, a break can be an effective wake up call that can really see one or both parties change their ways and be more considerate towards each other. Also, it isn\'t worth bluffing about a break. So, if your partner does agree to the break you will need to go through with it and cut off communication.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Discover more about the reasons a&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.helpwithmen.com/how-to-make-him-worry-about-losing-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">guy realizes he\'s losing you</a>&nbsp;and what can help when&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://www.helpwithmen.com/how-to-make-him-worry-about-losing-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">he worries about losing you</a>.</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Leo_Eigenberg/1776992</a></p>\r\n</div>');

padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">\"Goor mo bindoo nonou\" (That is How Men were created)<br />\"Goor la!C\'est normal\" (He is a Man! It\'s normal)<br />\"Goor mo mel nonou\" (Men are Like that)</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Seriously?!...</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">My sisters, my African sisters, time for a Wake Up Call.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In Senegal, these sayings about men are very common. And somehow, men have succeeded to imprint in our subconscious that it is OK for them<br />- to Cheat on us,<br />- to betray us,<br />- to beat us,<br />- to break our hearts,<br />- to behave like predators,<br />- to disrespect us and treat us as they wish because they are Men.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Who gave Birth to men? Women.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Who raised them? Women.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Who allowed them to behave like primates with other peoples\' daughters because they are Men? Women.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Unfortunately, We, Women, are the Enablers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">There are exceptions to the rules but African women have to STOP accepting to be mistreated by men just because they are Men. We, as a society, have given them a \"Lifetime Pass\" to treat us anyhow and any way they want.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When they cheat on us, we, tolerate it and tell ourselves, they are just Men, that is how they are.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When they beat us to death or close to it, we tell ourselves, they are just Men, that is how they are.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">When they abandon us and our children when we need them the most, we and our entourage say the same thing: they are just Men, that is how they are...</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Seriously...</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We need to start raising our sons differently no matter what society says. Let us raise them to treat women like Queens, to Love themselves deeply, to be Honest, to Love others divinely, to respect women, to become Heart-driven and not Ego-driven, to be kind, generous, loving, to learn how to clean and cook so that they may be appreciative when someone else does that for them.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Let us stop accepting the nonsense beliefs about \"men just being men\" thus giving them a lifetime privilege to be jerks, treat women like toys and take them for granted. This starts at Home, meaning that you should model this at home with your husband if you have one. If you allow your son\'s father to mistreat you, chances are the son will emulate his father.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The irony in Africa is that men do not allow anyone to mistreat their mothers but when it comes to other women, they have different standards. A woman raised them and took great care of them; they grew up and society took over their education. The subliminal matrix that they unconsciously submit to once they start hanging out with other men who influence them or women with no self esteem who allow them to treat them as they wish... they abide to new rules.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Still though we, Women, remain the Enablers and them, the \"Men who are Just Men.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Food for thoughts.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Queen Mari&egrave;me Faye</p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"article-resource\"></div>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Article Source:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #a30006;\" href=\"https://ezinearticles.com/expert/Marieme_Faye/1407638\">https://EzineArticles.com/expert/Marieme_Faye/1407638</a></p>\r\n</div>');
