Drinking is known as the number one ‘panties/boxers remover’ in the whole world. We all know that we should not drink and drive, but what about drinking and running to bed? We are not so sure about that, and those who have experienced having sex after drinking will probably agree and remember how big the mistake is.
Here are 7 reasons why not to drink and run to bed:
*The mature lover
The mature ladies love to have sex and like all of us they have that need. If we are talking about the ladies that are quite old, they have defiantly that need and probably have not done it for a long time. She will wait for you while you get drunk in the bar, and when you are done with you 5 th drink she will get you. Some of you will say: ‘great’. Ok, we all have are style.
* Unknown sexual background
She is blonde, she has a great figure and she is willing to get to bed with you after the second drink…but she will wait until you are done with the bottle, so it will be more difficult for you the notice the ‘extra’ body part she has.
* Your best friend
You always knew that he is a bit different, and every time you have looked at a great looking girl’s breasts, he was looking at her boyfriend’s ass. Even though he does not fancy you, he will after the 3 rd drink, and you start to have the ‘;I need some sex’ feelings. After your 3 rd drink you start compromising…and then you wake up in the morning! Now you need to face it.
* The Weight issue
She is sexy, she is pretty, she does not say no and she is about 15 sizes more then you when it is coming to fashion. The sex might be great, but you back aches will be there for years to remind you that moment when you said YES to her…when she asked you if it is ok if she will sits on you.
* From the outside and underneath
Yea, she looks amazing with that mini skirt and when you drink, you do not really get down to the bottom of the details, but the next day, just thinking about what you have been licking could make you sick.
* Act of force.
She looks great and she wants sex…but she is also very ‘active’ person. If you are into it – great, otherwise, you might find out that the woman of your dreams is a sado queen that wants you here and now as here little wick salve. You might find out that her meaning of sex includes cleaning the house and some other things that you do not really feel like when you are drunk.
*The sticky punch line
All went extremely well. You guys had an amazing evening, and you might even love her for that…but now you will have to pay for it for the rest of your life…as you were so drunk that you married her.

10 Tips for Winning at Custody

Jean Mahserjian

Winning at Custody is one of the most difficult issues parents confront in divorce. In many cases, both parents want custody and are willing to spend whatever it takes to win. Custody is all about what is best for the children – and that involves proving that you are the best parent – i.e. that the other parent is not as good a parent as you and/or that the other parent is just simply a bad parent.
My recommended tips for winning at custody are:
1. If you are not involved in your children’s lives now, you are not getting custody from a judge. If you are a working parent who lets your spouse handle all of the details of parenting, you are not prepared to win at custody. You must either change your objectives or change your parenting. If you really want custody, get involved now – in all aspects of your children’s lives. Get involved in your children’s schooling. Attend their extra curricular events. Take them to the doctor and dentist. Get to know what professionals your children see and be involved with them?
2. Make sure that you are not exposing your children to unsafe or unhealthy environments when they are with you. Are you involved in another relationship? Has there been more than one? Be very careful about exposing your children to your companion(s). Many judges, professionals, and other parents object to the children being subjected to other relationships too early in that process. More important, if you really want to win at custody, it should be because you want to spend time with your children parenting them. Spending time with someone else when you have the children is a recipe for losing at custody in court.
3. Do you put down your children’s other parent when the children are with you – either consciously or subconsciously? If you do, stop. One sure way to lose at custody is to hurt the children’s relationship with the other parent. A judge will consider whether a parent promotes or prevents the other parent’s access to and relationship with the children when seeking custody.
4. Winning at custody requires that you keep a calendar for everything. You need to be able to look back and remember details when it comes time to litigage custody. If you do not know when you had the children, what events you attended, where they were or you were or allof the times your spouse was not timely for a pick up or drop off, you will only hurt your own case. You can keep track on your own calendar, with your own journal, or with a professionally managed calendaring system. We do provide access to a professional calendaring system for custody cases on our web site at http://www.millenniumdivorce.com/custody-planner.asp.
5. Be on time…Be on time….Be on time. Few issues cause as much conflict as a parent who is persistently late in picking up or dropping off children. It irks the judges, it creates arguments with your ex or soon to be ex, and it stresses out the children. So, Be on time.
6. Be flexible. If the other parent wants to switch weekends or weekdays, do it if you can manage your schedule. When the time comes to tell the judge why you should have custody, you can tell the judge that you are the parent who makes sure that the schedule works. In a close case, this issue makes a difference.
7. Do not involve your children in the issues that are pending in court or with attorneys. Courts generally are very opposed to the children knowing the details of what are essentially adult issues. Children should be told that both parents love them and want to see them – that’s it. The children may see a psychologist and/or an attorney or other professional if the court directs that. The children can talk to those people about your case – you should not be giving them the details, especially if giving the details involves denigrating the other parent.
8. Winning at custody requires considering one other very important factor: where do the children want to live. It is not a good idea to coach your children on this issue. They will have an opportunity to tell what they want to either the court, their attorney or a psychologist. However, it is a good idea to know what they want. If they want to live with their other parent, you should not spend all of your time and money pursuing custody, unless you believe that it is unsafe or inappopriate for the children to live with that parent.
9. You do have to be willing to show why your children’s other parent should not have custody. So, you need to keep track of whether that parent is on time, involved, and flexible with the schedule. If that parent has any issues that affect custody, such as a history of mental health issues which impact his or her ability to care for the children or alcohol or drug addictions, you need to let the court know. Other issues that can and do affect custody determinations include the number and frequency of romantic relationships and the epxosure of the children to those relationship, the proper supervision of the children, and ensuring that the children attend school and see professionals such as a doctor and dentist when necessary.
10. Above all else, hire a good attorney and be open and honest with your attorney. Listen to your attorney, not some friend or relative who is sure about what you should do because they had a friend or a relative who got a better deal. If you are paying your attorney, listen to what he or she has to say.

How to be Successful in Life, Dating, and Business

A big question. I am sure that everybody on this planet would like to know the answer to that.
A few years ago, I worked for a British time share company. I am sure that right now there are many people twisting their faces: “time share? Oh. No! “. I agree – But this is not the point of this article.
While I was working there, I took some intern course in body language and “The art of sales”. Since then EVERYTHING i want to “sale”, I manage to. By saying everything, i mean business, things that I want from my wife, from my kids, from my friends and family and so on.
How do I do that, you ask? Well, here it is. You can try to use this method in every field, and I promise you it will work:
As an example, I will use my first date with my wife which eventually leaded to our marriage.
Picture this – My first date with her, nice restaurant, candle lights, wine and music (you do need to set the scene first).
She came; we said hello to each other, ordered some wine and then the “sale” started.
KISS – Which means: Keep It Simple & Stupid. This is a very important point in the whole conversation. The more info you give freely, them more they need to think about. You should give info about your self, but try to think about what you say as you can talk too much and give some info that should not be given…at least not right now.
WH questions – As the conversation roles, try to ask as many WH question as you can: why, where, how, what…You need to gather as much info about them as you can to understand who is sitting right now and talking to you, what is his/her type, what does she/he likes…Why is that so important? As I asked my future wife on that first date all the WH question, I found at that she is a “homey” type, love romance, love to coddle…If I would right away start talking about me and my “wild” life, I would probably missed her interest in me. I do not say you need to be someone else just to get their attention, but trying to “win” this meeting.
Tea or Coffee – Now you have gathered all the info you need, and it is time to start closing this deal. You are not about to close it now, but we need to get closer to the goal of our “sale”. Tea or Coffee questions are BASED on the info you got earlier and now you try to focus on the points. For example: “so what you are trying to say is that you rather be at home then go out to wild parties?” or “so… what do you prefer, Madonna or Jimmy Hendricks?” With this type of question you are now minimizing the info you got to more focused answers.
The Closing – You have now got the info, got the focused answers, it is time to “close” this ” Sale”. What you want to do is to get a yes or no answer (depends on you) from them. If you will get that answer – You have just reached you goal. Who do you do that? Very simple. Use ALL the info from the entire evening/meeting and concentrate on the particular questions you wan to get yes or no answers to. For example: “so what you are saying is that if I could make some nice dinner for you, just as you like, with candle and wine, could we meet again?” Of course, you are waiting for a “yes” here. It is EXTREMLY important to use finishing statements at the end of your questions, like: “so you do like coddling, don’t you?” Use you head to nod as you ask it..it gives a “mirror effect” on people and they can’t help not nodding back.
As I mentioned at the beginning, you can use this technique ANYWHER on EVERYBODY…trust me it works, but as everything in life, you need to practise and a lot.
Hope you can and will use it in your life.

How to solve relationship problems.

Fatimah Musa

25 7

Relationship problems either with your spouse, family, business partners or other people affect your personal growth, success and well being. If you value your relationship, you need to make better decisions and take specific actions to make them work.
Here are some ideas to help you avoid or solve relationship problems.
Understanding personal values.
What are your personal values? Misunderstandings and conflicts happen when your values conflict with those of others and when expectations are not met.
You can let others know what your values are by telling them about your ideals. You can find out about others by asking questions and observing their decisions and actions.
Knowing what’s important to others and yourself will avoid breaking each other’s rules and unnecessary conflicts.
Learn to listen.
People want to be heard and appreciated. When you listen attentively without interrupting and probing, you are showing courtesy and respect.
Give time and make yourself available. Allow people to talk and tell you things; the books they have read, the things they did and how they feel.
Listening to others will also give you the opportunity to know how a person thinks about his world, values and expectations.
Show kindness.
Other than listening, you can show other acts of kindness. Smiling is the simplest act to show friendliness.
Make others feel your warmth by offering help and kind words. Acknowledge their talents and achievements. Give praise and appreciate their efforts.
Show it in your tone of voice, your posture and your actions.
Avoid arguments. Remove ego and pride.
In an argument, each person wants to prove a point and defend her opinions. Using force, threats and intimidations rouse resentments and ill feelings that will then cause more relationship problems. In the end, no one actually wins and benefits.
Remove your ego and look at the situation from a different point of view. It does not mean that you are submitting but altering your perception. You can alter by asking questions or break the issues apart. It will enable him to see it differently too.
Forgive people. They could have been ignorant or unaware. If you have made a mistake, admit and apologize sincerely.
Give more than you take.
Don’t wait for others to give and show their care. You can give your love and appreciation even when others are not treating you right.
Contribute your time and effort without expecting anything in return. When you do good deeds for others, you feel more worthy.
Learn to ask and to share your feelings.
Ask for what you want and expect but don’t demand. People can’t read your mind and understand your hints. Make your request lightly and with a smile.
Communicate and share your thoughts and feelings with them. Open up and allow them to understand you.
Develop the trust.
Trust is the foundation of relationships. Do what you say you will do. Keep to your promises. Once people trust you, you can influence and persuade because they will listen and pay attention.

Letting them know you care with the perfect gift

‘Actions speak louder than words’ is a familiar phrase to many of us and is especially true when choosing a gift to show somebody how special they are. Flower deliveries are an excellent common choice as they can be organised from a distance and the giving of flowers has long been associated with romance, success and many other positive things. Sending flowers by post is becoming increasingly popular as modern transport and packaging ensures they arrive at their fresh best. Giving to one person can also provide an opportunity to share that gift, particularly with such items as food. Hampers offer the chance to combine a series of favourite items into a single gift which can either be enjoyed alone or provide pleasure to the friends and family of the recipient as they combine not only delicious ingredients but also the inherent option of the pleasure provided by sharing them.

It is very rare that unexpected flower deliveries and hampers arriving fail to bring delight. To receive something unexpectedly lets us know we’re in somebody’s thoughts; bringing joy in relation to a happy event and comfort regarding something sad. Flowers provide instant colour and fragrance whilst hampers arriving immediately spark intrigue as to their as yet hidden contents. Selecting the range of items which make hampers personal to any occasion and their recipients can be huge fun. Hampers come in all shapes, sizes and materials to accommodate the widest range of delights, each of which can be individually wrapped to maximise the length of time it takes to open. Hidden messages can be included and hampers ‘themed’ to convey the same wishes in several different ways. Hampers can be terrific and considerate gifts for birthdays or at Christmas, retirements, loss of a loved one, impending arrival of a baby or simply as a thank you; especially when repaying someone financially is not an option.

What makes the perfect gift? Whether it’s a birthday bouquet or a mothers day gifts hamper it is the combination of the consideration given by the sender in terms of what the recipient most loves to receive, the fun in choosing, with which it is sent and the joy with which it is received and treasured. Everyone no doubt has their idea of a ‘perfect gift’ but the scope offered by flower deliveries from a florist, flowers by post or hampers full of edible or other delights all provide great and rewarding opportunities for the potential sender.

6 Things Not To Do While Making Love

Lovemaking should be the ultimate feeling for both of you, but sometimes it can feel less than special. To help you get the most from the moment here are six things which you should avoid doing wile making the beast with two backs.
1) Calling out another person’s name.
Unless you have both agreed to role-play beforehand this is a definite no-no and it’s very likely to get you into trouble with your partner. If you are extremely comfortable together then dropping it in could bring some extra kink into lovemaking as part of a spontaneous role-play, but no matter how close you are, if it comes out too naturally it will always hurt your partner emotionally.
2) Ask if he’s cum yet.
This can upset men for two main reasons; firstly that it immediately gives the impression that you are just waiting for the experience to be over (If you are he’s not going to finish any faster if he knows that, it’ll deflate his ego), and secondly because for a man much of the sexual act is based around orgasm, and the idea that you don’t even know his intense moment of pleasure can take from the moment.
3) Excessive groaning
There can be few things that bring greater pleasure than hearing your lover groaning with pleasure, but if you make too much extra noise to try to make your partner feel good you risk the opposite – giving the impression that you are purely putting on a show and possibly removed from the act.
4) Continuing watching TV / Reading a book
Come on, your lover wants to feel you are shaking their world, not that you would rather be watching your favourite soap opera.
5) Pretending they are a specific character.
Role-play can be fun for both partners, and many couples enjoy enacting their policeman/woman, nurse or other fantasies with their partner. You may find your partner isn’t quite so comfortable if they think you are imagining them as your childhood pinup or ex-partner, though.
6) Taking it too seriously
If you accidentally do any of the above then make sure you do not do this! Nearly every situation in bed can be laughed off. Which of us has never tripped or fallen over during lovemaking, if you take it too seriously it’ll spoil the mood, laugh together and sharing the laughter will make you feel closer.

Balancing Cost and Appearance When Searching for Wedding Rings

Tim Moore

You’ve decided to get married and tie the proverbial knot. Now comes the part where you and your future spouse must choose the symbols of your imminent union, your rings. To simplify this task, keep these thoughts in mind when you begin shopping. After all, with your wedding date fast approaching, finding the right rings at the right price will simply be one of the worries you’ll have to contend with.
Your first decision will be the type of material you want for your bands, which may be yellow gold, white gold, platinum, titanium, or even as unusual sounding a material as tungsten. The metal you choose will be very important. Not only will the metal used to make a ring determine its appearance, it will also go a long way toward determining its strength, weight, and durability, as well.
It goes without saying, of course, that yellow and white gold wedding bands are still the most commonly worn rings today. But, with regard to durability, they are also among the weaker choices, as gold is softer and less dense than many other metals used for ring construction. Here’s a tip: if you really want gold bands, but also want your rings to hold up over time, choose a 14k or 10k ring versus an 18k ring. A lower karat number indicates a lower percentage of true gold mixed together with a higher percentage of added metals, which makes, nicely enough, for a stronger ring. Ironically, when it comes to gold rings, the less expensive the ring, the stronger the ring actually is.
Of course, if you are looking for real strength and durability, consider a platinum band. Platinum is incredibly strong due to its metal density, so if you want the ultimate in precious metal strength and durability, platinum is for you. However, platinum is even more of a precious metal” than gold, due to its rarity. And that brings us to our next consideration: cost.
Rings, like any type of traditional-event purchase, fall into pricing categories that cater to high-end buyers, mid-range buyers, and lower-end buyers (typically, this covers young soon-to-be-marrieds who are just starting out and may barely have a roof over their heads after the reception is concluded). Gold rings of various styles and karat weights are certainly available to buyers in all price ranges. Platinum, though, may bring up cost issues that are not advantageous for many young couples starting out.
However, if you are looking for rings that are “different”, very durable and strong, and, at the same time, are not particularly expensive, you may wish to consider bands constructed of titanium. Titanium is an extraordinary metal that, by weight, is stronger than steel. It is an also an inert metal that is impervious to corrosion or decay. And, nicely enough, despite the fact that it is so very strong, bands made of titanium tend to be fairly inexpensive. Yet titanium may be a perfect choice for those who work with their hands, such as mechanics and carpenters.
Once you’ve decided on the type of bands you want (material, appearance, durability, and price range), your next step will be to decide where to make the actual purchase. In some regards, this is very similar to car shopping. As with buying a car, you consider first what you want and then consider where you should go to get the best deal in terms of quality and cost.
Where should you go to buy your wedding bands? Well, there are a large number of franchise jewelry stores to choose from. However, a local and “locally-owned” jewelry store may offer better service, and, potentially, a greater willingness to “bargain” (though, it should be said that chain stores can often use an economy of scale to drive prices down considerably). Also, though chain stores may feature financing arrangements on ring purchases, locally owned stores may offer financing that is more flexible.
But, regardless of the type of wedding bands you ultimately decide on, or even where you decide to buy them, you will, without a doubt, save a considerable amount of stress and, perhaps, money, if you simply consider, beforehand, what it is that you truly want and can be satisfied witZZZZ

How to Catch a Cheating Partner

David Tavares

25 7

If you think your partner is cheating on you and feel that you have a reason to be suspicious you may be able to do a little creative detective work on your own and find out the truth. If you don’t want to do this on your own you can also look into hiring a private investigator to follow your partner and let you know definitively whether or not your partner is cheating on you. Hiring a private investigate can be costly though so if you can do a little investigating on your own you might be able to avoid this cost. While you may be able to investigate on your own to find your answer you should make sure that before you begin your investigation you are prepared for the answers you may receive. If you have your suspicions about your partner, you probably already realize that the relationship is in trouble but you also need to be ready for a revelation that could put an end to the relationship.
If you share credit cards or phones, these statements could become part of your investigation. Review the credit card bill each month to search for suspicious charges. Repeated hotel charges or charges to flower shops can be an indication that your spouse is cheating especially if you haven’t received flowers from your partner lately and haven’t spent nights in a hotel recently. The phone bill can also give you some clues as to whether or not your partner is cheating. Be wary of frequent calls to a phone number that you do not recognize. If you find these suspicious phone charges either call the number yourself or have a friend do it. You may find that it’s a friend or relative who must have gotten a new phone number unbeknownst to you or you may find that it is someone with whom your partner is having an affair. If you call the number and find that it belongs to someone you don’t know, try to get some information about their involvement with your partner without being judgmental about them. It is important to remember that this person may not even know that the person they are seeing is involved in another relationship. Another way to use credit card and phone statements as investigative tools is to ask your partner straight out about suspicious charges. If they have reason to be ashamed about the charges, their reaction will most likely give you the answers you were seeking.
Another deceptive way to catch a cheating partner is to ask questions about where they are going and take note, without their knowledge, of the mileage on the odometer before they leave and after they return. If you know where they are going you can use the Internet to determine the mileage to the location where they said they would be. When they return, make and excuse to go into the car and while you are there check the current mileage. If it doesn’t match up with what you expected from your earlier investigation, confront your partner about it. If they seem to have trouble explaining where they have been, it may be an indication that they are cheating.
Asking a lot of detailed questions can be another way to catch a cheating partner. If your partner is going somewhere without you, ask questions about where they will be and who they will be with. After they leave, wait a few minutes and then try driving to the place where they had told you they would be. If you don’t find their car parked where they had said they were going, this may also be an indication that your partner is cheating. Again confront them on this and see if they can offer a valid explanation for not being where they said they would be.
Still another way to catch a cheating partner is to pay careful attention to details. This will allow you to pick up on inconsistencies in what your partner tells you. If you often catch them in seemingly little, white lies or if they frequently offer contradicting information about where they have been, you may have a partner who is cheating on you.
Catching a cheating partner may not be a pleasant experience but it is better to find out the truth sooner than later. As unpleasant as it may be, if you have your suspicions about your partner cheating there is a very good chance that you have a reason to be suspicious. Whether you investigate on your own or enlist the help of a private investigator, catching a cheating partner may not be a difficult task.

Choosing a Wedding Photographer – Photojournalist vs. Traditional:Vicky Williams_26l-2517s:

Is your Wedding Formal, Semi-Formal or Informal
Haven’t thought of it yet? Well get going! What are you waiting for? Knowing this will give you a better indication on what to look for in a wedding photographer.
Traditional Photographers for a Formal Style
There is no law written in stone, but if you are having a formal wedding, you would probably want to hire a more traditional wedding photographer. Almost all pictures are posed for and perfect down to the last detail therefore accentuating dignity and grace. The downside to this is that the those spontaneous and special moments may not be captured, because candid shots are less likely to be taken.
A Traditional and Photojournalist Balance
If you are having a semi-formal wedding you probably should look for a photographer who has a balance of both traditional and photojournalist styles. That way the photographer can capture the light-hearted moments while still creating that elegant feel with traditional classical photography. Take a good look at his portfolio. Is he equally good at both or does he lean strongly towards one or the other?
Photojournalists for an Informal Style
Are you having a informal wedding? More likely than not, you’ll have more light-hearted fun than in a formal setting. These rare moments are captured far better if you hire a wedding photojournalist, because he is capturing your day as it happens. The down side is that he may catch you at an awkward not so pretty moment and its more expensive. Being that you chose an informal wedding, this may not bother you as much.
Check the Photographer’s References
This cannot be stated enough. Going by a portfolio is not enough. Call up his references. You’ll be surprised at how many wedding vendors give references of clients who were not that happy with their service! Research the national Better Business Bureau. Is there a multitude of complaints? If there was one complaint, was it resolved? (Well at that point you might want to look elsewhere regardless. Why take chances.) Please ask a lot of questions.
Choose the Photography Style You Want
OK so what was the point with all of the above? These are guidelines. It is perfectly legal to hire a wedding photojournalist for a formal wedding and vice versa. If you are looking to capture more candid shots at a formal wedding you could still go with a photographer who has a mix of skills. Your photographs may give off a more semi-formal aura as a result though. Just remember to take your time.Z

Ideas For Wedding Reception Table Arrangements You Want To Know

The trick with making floral arrangements for your reception and other areas is that you need to have either some advice or some professional help. Looking in bridal magazines and in floral magazines is all well and good, but those are pictures of no-budget arrangements. You, on the other hand, can’t necessarily spend your entire budget on the flowers.
On the tables
At your reception is where the majority of the flowers will go. Each of the tables, as well as the head table, will need a variety of arrangements to add color and style. And while there really aren’t any rules for what arrangements you can have, you will want to keep a few things in mind.
If you’re thinking about what kinds of arrangements to put on the head table, think about what pictures will be taken there. If your arrangements are so complicated that they will be distracting in a photo, then you may want to rethink your plans. Again, a florist can help you out with this kind of logistic problem, especially if they’re local. Many will already have experience in any reception hall, so they know what they need to do.
And for your guest, though large floral arrangements can look great in the reception hall, you have to consider that they will be sitting down at one point. Having larger floral arrangements blocking their view of the other side of the table or of the dance floor or head table is not a very good setup.
Think about where your guests will be sitting and what they will be able to see. They may have brought cameras to take pictures themselves, so you don’t want to hinder their view.
Ideas you can use
When it comes to creating drama and yet realistic floral arrangements, you will want to think about the height above all (no pun intended). A newer trend in floral arrangements is to have tall, think vases with a few stems of flowers in each, creating a larger bouquet at the top of the vase. This looks like a garden from the overall perspective, while giving your guests the ability to talk to each other.
On the other hand, you may also choose floral arrangements that are lower to the table. Some couples like to choose a combination of floating flowers and candles to add a little warmth to a table. And they also serve as conversation pieces as well.
Floral arrangements don’t have to come from bridal magazines or shows in order to be useful at your wedding. Look around and see what kinds of arrangements can be done. Talk to florists about what you need and see what they suggest.

Are you Blind Dating !

So, going on a fist date, a bit excited or should I say nervous or having fear of facing the unexpected or unacceptable. Well it happens and can be avoided too if you prepare yourself accordingly. Over a period you become more mature and know how to handle situation and react. You may get many sites advising you like www.freedatingguide.com, giving you tips on dating, but how if I share my personal experience with you?
Make sure you make a right selection of outfit and accessories, as first impression has a very big impact. The first impression last forever in most of the cases or till you meet next time with a much notable change in you , well I don’t mean you wear your best party gown or suit in a outdoor lunch meet. This will be too loud and uncomfortable to both of you.
I only grow my Socrates beard and stay in the same pair of denim for 15 days, the time I am single and not looking. You can’t afford to be lethargic and cut down on toilettories and laundries once you initiated the divine hunt of ideal partner or already planning a honeymoon. It’s a universal fact that most of the women in the whole world, irrespective of their culture and upbringing crave for beauty and cleanliness, it’s one of the basic instincts they have.
Women need more mental preparation for the first date as they start judging a man with his presence and visible personality to judge a man which is like interiors by the great looking window pane. Man exhibit more patience then they have on the first date, I would say it is natural and they tend to loose the same patience as relation goes stronger.
The male and female basic attitude developed over ages will come to better terms slowly, it will take some more time for men to understand the sensitivity women possess, and women will understand the aggressiveness men live with. Am I elaborating it too much, well knowing the basis behavioral characteristics is the first important thing , the same principle of life will let you overcome common misunderstanding arising from the basic difference of attitude and behaviors of man and women around the world.
A first date with known person of not much known always have surprises waiting for you. If all goes well and there is an ideal partner as a pleasant surprise in front of you then you need remember the following not apply the and you have a gala
A Wrong date
If you make a date and then realize it’s a mistake, don’t be afraid to cancel, as long as it’s not at the last minute. Better to be honest and disappoint the guy or the lady than subject yourself to an evening you’ll hate.
A Blind Date
If it’s a blind date set up by friends, or for some other reason you’ve never actually met the person you’re going out with, keep your escape options open by meeting in a public place for “just a cup of coffee.” Be “on the run” when you show up, to be pre-excused for a fast getaway if you don’t like him or her. If you can tell in the first fifteen minutes that there’s no way you ever want to see this person again, don’t prolong the agony. Say something like, “Look, something tells me we’re not a match made in heaven. I’m glad we met, but I really don’t want to waste your time. Let’s both get back to our busy lives.”
Eassssie….
If you are meeting someone you know than do some informal outing instead of a full-evening first date, enjoy some lighter moment by having a coffee at river-side in the afternoon or maybe some popping corns in a nearby multiplex watching your favorite actor in action. If it’s a holiday then start with breakfast or at least lunch to have an open-ended date for the day.
Qualifying round
Make a genuine effort to know each other, ask question with good eye contact and sincerity. Do not throw your intro thru riddles, make is simple and to the point. Show interest in knowing each other but don’t make the conversation too
A white trail to talk
If your date asks you about your ex, and you can’t avoid the subject, talk in a gracious and kind way. If you badmouth your ex, (or exes), the person listening thinks “Why were you so stupid as to be with someone who was such a jerk?” Or, “Were they that awful when you met them, or did you drive them to act that way?”
Start fresh, reap good thought
Men and women both are drawn to people who are enjoying their lives. Your date is not your therapist. Don’t go into your troubles. As I’ve explained elsewhere, no one wants to be around a depressed man or woman, unless they themselves are too sick to have a good relationship with.
No, let’s be friends
Don’t be shy about cutting a first date short if you don’t think you’ll get along. If you just know that the person isn’t right for you, and you’re having a terrible time, you aren’t stuck. Say something like I suggested above, then, as you’re leaving, be friendly and offer to help each other. “You know, I do have a friend who might be right for you, and I’ll be happy to fix you up. Maybe you know someone who would like to meet me.”
Well if everything goes in right direction conforming to the general or exceptional laws of attraction, then you don’t need to follow the versus of L’Omens,
Guys I am getting late, its my first date today with Ms. Reporter (We met online on www.wheresinglesmeet.com ) and I am preparing for the interview, interview, guess what she may ask!

4 Questions You Must Ask Before You Say “I Do”

David LeVine

“How do you know when you’ve met the right one?”
Almost everyone asks this question at some point in their lives; unfortunately, there are not too many who get a concrete answer. But if you’re reading this article, then you’re one of the lucky few.
Interestingly, the criteria for choosing a spouse can be boiled down to just four characteristics. If you can find somebody with all four then it’s highly likely that you’ve found your life partner.
1) What is This Person’s Core Values?
Before you decide to marry someone, make sure that they are fully committed to some kind of objective moral and ethical standard. Whether we realize it or not, everyone has some kind of core value that is central to their personality. And when push comes to shove, that value is going to be the most important thing in the world to that person.
For example: Jerry’s core value is adventure. When Jerry starts to date Diana, he happens to be volunteering at the local Emergency Room. He goes there every night, holds people’s hands, calms them down. And Diana’s thinking to herself that Jerry must have a heart of gold if this is how he’s spending his spare time. Now, Jerry might really have a heart of gold. But he’s volunteering because of his love for adventure. The ER is filled with action, it’s exciting. So right now,
Jerry’s adventurousness happens to be expressing itself in a kind way. But that could change. Jerry might stop volunteering, and start trying other adventures that Diana may find unpleasant, dangerous, or even unethical.
However, if Jerry’s core value is a commitment to goodness and caring, then everything he does will rotate around that, including his marriage. And Diana will be a very lucky woman if she marries him.
So how do you get to know the true Jerry? Surprisingly, it’s not that difficult. No matter what a person’s core value is, you will see him or her sacrificing for it on a daily basis. If Jerry’s core value is adventure, then he might risk an accident in order to speed through an intersection or arrive late at work because he followed a police chase. If Diana follows him carefully, she’ll see that he places adventure above other important things on his list of priorities.
But if Jerry’s core value is goodness, then Diana will see him give up on certain things in order to be kind. If the waiter mixes up his order, he’ll say thank you and eat the dish anyway. He’ll let the other guy cross the intersection first, or he might be late to work because he drove a little old lady home with her groceries. If Diana follows him carefully, then she’ll see him let go of some of his own desires in order to take care of other people.
So look for someone who is committed at the core to a higher set of values that you can appreciate.
2) Does This Person Treat Others Well?
Number two is obvious: You want to marry someone who is going to take care of you and treat you well. How to figure it out?
Simple. Spend time with this person, and pay attention to how they treat others whom they don’t necessarily care about because they’re not trying to charm them. Do they thank the attendant who pumped gas for them? Are they courteous to people at checkout counters? Do they curse out people who don’t deliver on time, like telephone operators or overworked waitresses? Do they tend to drive aggressively, as if there’s no one else on the road?
Ask yourself questions like these and take note of the answers – because they reflect characteristics that will come out down the line. Most people don’t guard themselves so carefully that they’ll hide how they treat others. So watch them, and you’ll know how they’re going to treat you after you’re married.
3) Do We Communicate Well With Each Other?
In other words, make sure that you understand each other. This may seem obvious, but it’s not. Sometimes you can see a couple in a fight and they argue for an hour, two hours, maybe even overnight. And then, at the end of round 16, it turns out that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding: “Oh, I thought you meant that…That’s not what you meant? Oh, then we agree.”
Although on an occasional basis this can happen to anyone, if it’s happening constantly then it’s not a good sign because that may not change. If you’re constantly misunderstanding each other, then you might want to put this relationship on hold for a while.
4) Are We Physically Attracted to Each Other?
Physical attraction is an essential part of marriage. You cannot marry someone if you aren’t physically attracted to them. And while men arrive at this conclusion somewhat quickly, women should give themselves some more time. Very often, a woman may not feel attracted to a man initially, but after she gets to know him she finds him much more attractive than before.
A word of caution: Although physical attraction is essential, you can’t base a marriage on physicality. Whatever is going on physically is meant to be an expression of something deep that is happening on the emotional and spiritual level.
The rule is – make sure that physical attraction is there, but don’t get swept away by it. The other three characteristics are just as important, if not more so.
So there you have it. The next time you date someone, put what you’ve learned here into practice. It’ll save you a lot of time and heartache, and you might find yourself walking down the aisle faster than you think.ZZ

Discover Your Secret Hidden Talent Which You Have Been Using Since Age Five – Part 1

Rex Andrews

Many of us are born into this world with talents and
abilities. Some have the ability to work with numbers,
others have talents to hit a ball and run, while still
others are good caretakers. Many people get into various
jobs and careers. Some times we look at other people and
think, “Boy weren’t they lucky to be gifted with that
talent or that ability.” We look at the sports stars who
are earning mega-million dollar contracts and inside we
wish we were able to do the same thing.

Well the great thing about being born into this world
is that no matter where we were born, where we grew up,
what we are doing now for a job or career, we ALL have
within us a Secret Hidden Talent. Let’s look closely at
where that talent came from and how it was developed.
Many of us do not really remember things that occurred
in the first five years of our lives. However, right
around age five, we start to interact with other people
outside of our families. It is this interaction that
causes this secret hidden talent to start to develop.

We go to school and hear the teacher read us a story
about Jack and his dog who helped stop a fire. We go
home and we tell our mother and father about the story.
Or maybe we hear a funny joke and we just have to tell
every one of our friends at school or in the neighborhood.

As we are watching our favorite television show, we see
a commercial on the latest, hottest new toy. We just have
to get that, so who do we tell? That’s right, Mom & Dad.
Do we tell them about this toy ONCE? No, we continue to
tell them over and over and over about how great it will
be if you had that toy. We tell them that we will clean
up our room or take out the trash for the next kazillion
years if they will ONLY buy that toy for us. Sometimes
this works, many times it does not. But the interesting
thing is that during this whole time we have been
developing our secret hidden talent.

Now that you understand how you developed this secret
hidden talent, you are probably asking, “What is this
secret hidden talent?” Well if you look at what was
briefly described above, you will see that every one
of us on the planet have been recommending or referring
things to our family and our friends. You see as you
grew older the types of things that you recommend and
refer change. You no longer are telling your friends
about a toy you saw on the Saturday morning cartoons.
However, you are telling them about a great restaurant,
a special sale, or a great movie.

In fact, if you are an NFL football fan, many people
are aware of “The Catch” that occurred during a game
between the Steelers and the Raiders. If you watched
that game, guess what you talked about on Monday morning
at work. That’s right – The Catch. You told everyone
you knew about how lucky or talented Franco Harris was
when he grabbed that ball and ran for a touchdown.

Maybe you went to a friend’s wedding over the weekend
and you loved the arrangements and decorations, the
brides maids dresses and especially the bride’s dress.
You run into a friend who was not able to attend and
you tell them all about it and how they should use this
in their upcoming wedding.

What has occurred in each and every case? You have told
someone about a product or service or event that occurred.
This is your secret hidden talent. The more you tell others
about products, services, or events, the better you get. In
fact, most people use this talent every day of their life
from age five.

Amazingly, most people use this secret hidden talent every
day of their lives but they do not realize that they could
actually get paid for it. That’s right, you heard correctly.
You can get paid for this talent. Here’s is an example that
my friend, Michael, shared with a taxi cab driver. As he
was riding from the airport to his hotel, he asked the cab
driver where was a good place to eat. The cab driver told
him the top eating spots. My friend asked the cab driver
his name, which was Oliver. He then asked Oliver if he
went into the restaurant and told them that Oliver sent
him to the restaurant, would they send Oliver a referral
check at the end of the month. Oliver said “NO WAY!” My
friend then asked Oliver if he would like to find out
how he could get paid for his secret hidden talent.
Oliver wanted to know more about getting paid for what
he did every day.

You see, my friend, Michael, is one of the few people who
have been able to utilize his secret hidden talent and get
paid for it. In fact he has been doing this every day for
over 20 years. Amazing, isn’t it? The fact is many people
around the world are recommending and referring and getting
paid for it. They are recommending various products and
service such as soap, air filters, water filters, nutritional
products, cosmetics, computers, telecommunication services
such as long distance, pagers, cell phones, Internet, web
pages, shopping malls, and the list goes on. These people
told others about the products and services that they
purchased and at the end of the month they received a
referral check.

Here is another story. I have another friend, who worked
very hard for over 30 years and decided to retire from his
job. Someone told him about his secret hidden talent and
told him that he had a choice of getting paid for using
it. He decided getting paid was a better option. The
interesting thing is that in ten months, he was able to
match his salary at his former job of thirty years. Why?
Because he decided to use his secret hidden talent and
get paid instead of being like most people who use it
and don’t get paid.

Would you like to know how you can get paid for something
you are already doing every day?

Would you like to discover how to fully utilize your
secret hidden talent TODAY?

Remember, most people use this secret hidden
talent every day, they just don’t get paid for it.

If you are ready to learn how you can get paid for using
your secret hidden talent, I will be happy to show you how to get started TODAY. http://www.coachme-mentorme.net

Dating Mistakes Females Make

I used to have a friend named Amy. If I needed anything – whether it was advice or a pink shirt to match my new pants – Amy was there for me. We went on shopping trips to New York City and Philadelphia at least once a month, gossiping about people we knew while we drove. We had “Girl’s Night Out” dinners at our favorite Mexican restaurant, and many giddy times after a few too many margaritas. Every weekend we went to the local bars and clubs hoping to meet “Mr. Right”. Even if we didn’t meet him, we always had a good time dancing.
I had dated quite a few guys, but no one seriously in the three years Amy and I were friends. Going out with Amy was fun, and something I could count on to keep the boredom of single life away. She became like a sister to me. Then something happened.
I got a boyfriend.
Suddenly, “Girls Night Out” turned into “Do You Mind If We Meet Up With Matt While We’re Out Night?” You see, my new boyfriend and I wanted to get to know each other more, as expected. However, in the delirious excitement of having this new person in my life, I committed one of the worst dating sins a female can commit: I let my friendship with my best girlfriend slip.
At first it wasn’t very noticeable to me. I still chatted on email and spoke on the phone with Amy almost every day. But the truth is that when she asked me to go out, I first considered if there was a chance I’d be doing something with Matt that night. As my relationship with Matt grew over the months, going out with Amy to bars and clubs became a bit boring – I wasn’t looking for “Mr. Right” anymore. To top it off, my “Mr. Right” was not very happy at the prospect of me going to bars and clubs without him. “Clubs are dens of sin!” he half-joked one day, when I mentioned how often I used to go. “They only exist because people go there to hook up with each other.” So I stopped going to my dens of sin.
The last time I saw Amy was on the weekend after my 27th birthday. As a gift, she had bought me a ticket to go with her on a bus trip to shop in New York City. Just like old times, I thought as I stepped off the bus into the springtime New York sun. I had to hold that thought, though, because my cell phone began ringing. It was Matt, making his usual morning call. This time he asked if I got there safely and told me to have a fun day. I didn’t think much of it until I looked over at Amy’s disgusted frown.
“Can’t you even go one day without talking to him?” she fumed. “This is OUR trip, it’s a Girl’s Day. Why does he need to call?”
Equally annoyed, I told her that I liked when he called, that it made me feel he cared and thought of me. It was the truth – I enjoyed the fact that he thought to call when he woke up every morning. But looking back on it now, I realize Amy wasn’t angry that he’d called. She was angry that I appreciated how much he cared about me, while ignoring the fact that she, too, cared for me. For months she’d been asking me to go out, calling me, writing me email, and now taking me on a trip for my birthday. But I had not shown her any appreciation for being a good friend.
Amy and I haven’t spoken much after that trip.
As the months passed and my relationship with Matt became more and more familiar, I started to notice something interesting. During our relationship, he had not given up any of his friends or hobbies that he had before we knew each other. He still played basketball every Sunday morning with his friends. He met his friends for dinner and drinks when I was busy and couldn’t make it. He made it a point to find time for them, even if it meant saying no to making plans with me once in a while.
Slowly but surely, I thought back about how I had given up things to spend time with him. And from time to time, I threw those things in his face to make him feel guilty if he wasn’t going to take me out on a Saturday night. “I could be at my den of sin,” I’d yell at him, “but now I don’t have a friend to go there with. Have fun tonight with Jim and Mike. I’ll just be here reading a book.”
Ironically, the less Amy was in my life, the more fights I had with Matt. Why, there was no one to call and vent to about my problems with him or with life in general. So who heard all of my complaints? He did. And like guys do, he tried to tell me how I should solve all of my dilemmas, which annoyed me to no end. A female, like Amy, would have just listened to me and consoled me while I had my personal pity party.
As much as I wanted to place the blame on Matt for the fact that I gave up so many things I used to enjoy, the truth is that all the blame lies on me. No one made me give anything up. I volunteered it to chase the fairy tale relationship that depicts man and woman alone, together against the world. I overlooked the friends beside, behind, and in front of man and woman, protecting them, helping them, and loving them.
Amy, check your email… an old friend is sending you an arthe wrote.

Are you having trouble thinking of the right Valentine’s gift for your signifcant other?
Have you planned what to do and where to go for the romantic evening on Valentine’s day?
Well, if you already have something in mind, good for you but I guess plenty of the guys out there are having a hard time. Me too, having a hard cracking my brain for more ideas and thinking what to give for my significant other. I am sure that for most of us, we have been giving little gifts here and there and all the romantic ideas and gifts seems to run out. Here are some of my ideas to help you to create a romantic and memorable Valentine’s Day.
Number 8
Personalized Photo Locket
A very sweet and personalized gift for your loved ones. You can engrave your photo on the metal itself. A precious gift your loved ones will keep it close to them and a memorable gift that will last a long time.
Number 7
Lingerie
Buy a sexy, beautiful, exotic lingerie that she always fantacizes for. If you watch desperate housewifes, there are lots of ideas you can draw from.
Number 6 – a crazy idea
Yourself
Putting yourself in a huge, gift box that you can fit into and hiring a group of friends to deliver yourself to a place where you will meet her. But first wear something out of the ordinary so when she opened the box, she’ll be surprised and laughing at the same time.
Number 5 – My fantasy idea
Words in the sky
Perhaps you have seen this in the movies, the air planes smoke the sky with the words “I love you, (their name)”. Of course it’s not going to be cheap nor environmental friendly but I’m sure she is going to remember this for life.
Number 4
Candle Light Dinner
You may think this is too tradition but if you are not a good chef, this is going to be tough for you. Because you are going to learn to make the dish within this few days. It’s the effort and sweat that you put in and show that counts! Do not just spend some money and go to restaurant, start to learn now!
Number 3
Rose Petals pathway
Lay rose petals all the way from your door steps to the bedroom to form a grand welcome while you lie in the bed waiting for their arrivals. Prepare a champagne beside the bed to enjoy.
Number 2
A warm fragrant spa
Enjoy a romantic spa with your loved ones.
Number 1
What’s the Number 1 thing that your loved ones love and dreamt of in a relationship? It’s up to you to find out without letting them know. It’s not about the money nor how creative the idea. It’s about the effort, the time, that you put in to love your significant other, that I think will truly give more juice and happiness to the relationship.
