ARC of Understanding

In relationship we all make mistakes and sometimes we are insensitive to the needs of others, especially those very close to us All this leads to disappointments and resentments. The answer to handling disappointments is understanding.

Relationships don't come about because people are perfect. They come because of understanding.

There is more gratification in being a caring person that in just being a nice person. A caring attitude builds goodwill which is best kind of insurance that a person can have and it doesn't cost a thing.

Being understanding is far more important than money and the best way to be understood is to be understanding. And the basis of real communication is also to be understanding.

Practice Generosity :- It is a sign of emotional maturity. Being generous is being thoughtful and considerate without being asked. Generous people experience the richness of life which a selfish person can't even dream of. Be Considerate, Selfishness bring it's own revenge. Be sensitive to other people's feelings.

Kindness:- Kindness is language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. It is better to treat a friend with kindness while he is living that displaying flowers on his grave when he is dead.

Act of kindness make person feel good regardless of whether he is doing it or it is done to him. Kind words never hurts tongue.

(Scientologist - Sir L. Ron Hubbard said - Affinity, Reality, Trust, Faith, Elegance & communication are the basic components of understanding. and Understanding makes people coexists, cooperate, correlate. Called as ARC of Understanding.)

People who are true friend in the real sense help one another, but these are not favors. they are acts incidental to friendship and if that don't help they'd be failing in their relationship.

RELATION & LOVE just don't happen, they take time to build they are built on kindness, understanding & self-Sacrifice, not on jealousy, selfishness, puffed up egos, and rude behavior.

Relationship never be taken for granted. Once relationships are established, they need to be nurtured constantly. Nobody is perfect. Expecting perfection is setting yourself for disappointment.

SYMPATHY & EMPATHY :- well Lets know the difference : Sympathy means "I Understand what & how you feel. EMPATHY is "I feel what and how you feel".

Quiz Yourself - Will You Survive Break-Up?

I did everything possible to save our relationship. I gave in a lot, but I could not save. We will be breaking-up soon. That has already broken my heart. This relationship was made brick by brick over so many years. What all we did not do to make it last? But alas, we are breaking -up. This is a typical statement from a person facing break-up. How to survive after a break-up? Will you survive a break-up? Why not quiz yourself about it?

The immediate effect of the break-up would be pain. Will you be able to take the pain? The pain would go away slowly over a number of years, but the initial impact will be high. You will have to gather all your energy and tolerate the pain.

The second effect would be bitterness and blame. You will keep thinking about the behavior of your ex partner and fix blame everywhere. You will recap all the arguments and fights and there will be a large amount of self-talk about how you were ditched. That will not be a pleasant experience. You will have to find way out of all this by spending quality time with friends, involving you in new activities, and keep yourself busy. Are you ready for that?

The major effect would be the temptation to join immediately with anew partner. This can work both the ways. Some people never wish to form a relationship again after undergoing the trauma, while some want to form a relationship as soon as possible to forget the earlier one. Both of theses choices carry danger. The best alternative is to wait for sometime and when you find your stability and self esteem back, try and form another relationship. Are you ready for this?

How to Use Competition to Attract the Attention of Women

The online dating world can be quite competitive. In order to gain the attention of interesting women, you have to compete with other men. What makes this difficult is the fact that most online dating sites have more guys then girls.

As a result, the competition is fierce for a fairly limited resource.

But you can use your competition to increase your success at online dating. By knowing what other guys are doing, you can take what's working for them and apply them to your own dating techniques.

Read on to discover how to do this…

The first way to check out the competition is to take a look at the profiles of other men. While this might seem a little strange at first, you can get an excellent idea of what you're competition is up doing.

When looking at their profiles, write down things that you could use for yourself. Look for the following on these profiles:

* What type of pictures they use?

* How much humor they inject into their profile?

* Do they reveal a lot about themselves?

* Are they upfront about what they want from a woman?

Another way to check out your competition is to talk with friends or acquaintances who utilize online dating services. Find out what tactics they use to get the interest of women. Also ask them how they "close the deal" and get a girl on a first date.

This information is extremely valuable if you're trying online dating for the first time. The advice from your contacts can help you avoid a lot of the mistakes which guys commonly make when trying out online dating.

The final way to check out your competition is to read through forums devoted to online dating. This is a great way to learn different techniques and read people's questions and comments. No matter what you've encountered, probably else has seen it before. So if you look through the forum and ask questions, other guys can help you out.

What is great about forums is while they're filled with your "competition", a lot of these guys are will to help you out if you have a question.

The dating world can be quite brutal and it favors guys who stand out from the crowd. If you take the time to look at your competition and implement what's working for them, you can improve your chances of attracting the attention of interesting women.

How Singles Succeed At The Personal Relationships Game

<b>One thing is certain</b> if you are reading this, you have, at some time in your life, found yourself single, alone and looking for someone to love. When you are part of the <b>Lonely Hearts Club</b>, you hope against all hope that you will finally meet someone who will fit the bill and bring you back to happiness again. So these days you are likely to go on-line and subscribe to a dating site, singles group or register in the personal relationships section of a newspaper or magazine.

<b>You start out eagerly</b> filling in your personal details and writing your profile. It proves to be much more difficult than you thought it would.

<b>How to </b>describe yourself without seeming arrogant, bigheaded, or just brash, is a nightmare exercise. The more modest amongst us struggle to write a paragraph not knowing what to put in and what to leave out, especially if they bring a sensitive, shy or self-conscious nature to the table. Sounding interesting can often turn into a list of dare-devil antics that could drive people away, so what is a person to do? Adding a photograph is fraught with dangers. Which one to choose? Many people are so self-conscious that they just leave them out. Others put up a photo of themselves which represents how they like to think of themselves, only you are left to find out that the photo was taken some twenty years ago when you finally get to meet.

<b>Then there are </b>those who fit the other extreme. Over confident, they sound so wonderful, have achieved so much. Secretly you feel that they just wouldnt want to know you unless you are able to match their characteristics and qualities. And yet, they look so good in their picture, So tanned, fit, and wonderful that you long to make contact, and do.

<b>You are not</b> surprised when they do not reply. This just feeds your feelings of low self worth and self-hatred and you give up trying for a while until the reminder that your membership is about to expire draws you back online again with the hope of better prospects ahead.

<b>So, how can you</b> shorten the odds and make meeting someone much more rewarding and successful? First of all, you need to build up your confidence by realising just what it is you have to offer someone, and learning how to get that across.

<b>Next,</b> you have to learn some rules about building charisma and developing rapport, so that every time you contact someone, every time you meet you can turn that event into a successful outcome, and your new found friendships into lasting relationships.

<b>For example</b>, when you put up your photo make sure that you are smiling. When you smile you show the most balanced aspect of your facial features and you look warm and friendly, do so with pride. It is very important, no matter what opinion you hold of yourself, to put a photograph up as part of your profile. Be proud of who you are. By putting up a photo you are showing that you are an honest, reliable person with nothing to hide. There are many people out there who look far worse than you do and have a lot less to offer. Make sure that your photo truly represents who you are today. It is a false vanity to use an old photograph and just not honest. You will drive people away when they meet you and give them a bad first impression of who you really are.

<b>When you write</b> your profile, offer honesty in what you say about yourself and your life. Remember, everyone is looking for love. If people are looking for a trophy they are just not the kind of person who will bring you happiness.

<b>Do not</b> be tempted to lie about your age. Some people may think they are shortening the odds of meeting someone nice and youthful, but mainly people will just think you are dishonest when they find out your true age (you are sure to give it away sooner or later) and dump you. Pity, if you really liked them for they will just not give you a second chance. It is better to get complements on looking younger than your true age, than it is for someone to find out that you are not truthful.

<b>Make a list</b> of things you do well and choose one favourite activity to talk about briefly. It is always better to make contact with people that you have shared interests with, and they will notice if you have interests in common. Mention hobbies and pastimes, things that you like rather than things you dislike (in case you step on their toes) and choose something that you think is special about yourself to make as your 'personal characteristic' or to include as your description highlight.

<b>Chat</b> to people online as if they are in the same room as you. Before you start, relax, play some nice music and think about something good that happened to you recently and your whole writing manner will improve. You will convey something of yourself, of that feeling and that moment to the other and you will seem approachable, someone who would be nice to be with. Do not go into detail about personal likes and dislikes too soon, because you may cut off possibilities for the future. Instead, find something fun, lively and lighthearted to say at every contact. You may just be the person responsible for chearing your contact up after a hard day or one of life's dissappointments. Keep sexy talk and inuendo until you know each others tastes better.

<b>If you are looking</b> for a sexual relationship, so be it. Enjoy your talk on line and treat it as a casual experience. Remember, the other person may just want to talk not do, or they may treat you badly when you meet thinking that you just want to play fast and loose and are in it for the sex. OK if that is what you want, but many people come to me when their relationship goes wrong because they could not get their partner past the first impression of them, a hot babe or dude looking for a casual romp. Be sure of what you wish for, you are likely to get it . . . even more than you bargained for.

<b>When you meet</b>, smile. Learn the secrets of building rapport and how to use non-verbal behaviour to the max. If you practice skills in knowing what to say and when to say it, what to do and when to do it, you will have a far greater success at building relationships. Everyone can learn how to choose a mate that is right for them, how to turn a conversation into a friendship and how to turn a friendship into a lasting relationship. All they need to do is know how.For detailed information on how to enjoy fantastic new relationships, read:<b> VALENTINES FOREVER - 50 Ways To Meet And Keep Friends</b> available at: <b>http://www.relationshiphotline.com/webstore</b>

Totally Free Dating Services: The Truth

There are many articles that will tell you to avoid totally-free dating services. You may well hear the argument that they are worth exactly what you pay for them! Are you wasting your time if you join a free dating service? This article attempts to answer that question honestly and truthfully.

Firstly, we need to look at what might motivate a web developer to put up a dating site for free. Can they make money out of it? Certainly they can. It has never been easier to make money on the web. People selling products and services on the web want traffic, and they are prepared to pay for it! There are various ways that any website can make money by referring some of its traffic to advertisers, or in some cases, simply displaying advertising. A site that has a free product generates plenty of free traffic, and if they have a lot of traffic then they can make a lot of money by advertising other people's products.

Secondly, we have to answer the question of why a web developer wouldn't automatically choose to design a payment-based dating site, as opposed to one that is totally free. The competition for payment-based dating services is so great that you would need a huge advertising budget to compete with a payment-based dating service. Also, you need a very large subscriber-base before you can say that you have a dating service that's likely to be useful to anybody! What's the good of finding that you have ten matches out of a possible 5,000 if they all live in the USA and you live in the UK?

Thirdly, why are there so many articles that tell you to avoid totally-free dating services? That's a fairly easy question to answer. These articles could simply be written by subscription-based dating services themselves. They are after your money, so to tell you that free dating services are worth as much as you pay for them is in their interest. However, that's not the only source of these articles! Websites can make money by referring people to dating websites through specially-encoded tracking links. If this is done and someone posts a free profile or subscribes to the service, the dating service will pay a fee for the lead or sale to the owner of the website.

It seems that on the face of it, dating services that are completely free may actually be worth using. However, you still have to have enough people using the service to make it likely that there will be potential datees of interest to you in your area. Companies with large advertising budgets are very likely to have more profiles for you to look at! That's quite straightforward to see. You'll probably learn about paid dating services more quickly than totally-free ones.

How many people who write profiles on payment-required online dating services are likely to be paid subscribers? In many cases, the number of paying subscribers could be quite low, so if you choose to register with a paid dating agency, it's best to make sure that it offers the ability to reply for free to any person who posts a profile. Otherwise you could be wasting your time sending messages to people who won't subscribe, and therefore will not be able to reply to you.

What's likely to be different about a totally-free dating service? Well, it won't have a huge staff to approve profiles. You may have to put up with some slightly worse language seen in some profiles as a result. Of course, such services will also attract people who aren't prepared to pay for the service. With so many internet communication services available for free or very low cost these days, can you blame them? After all, no human does the matching on paid or free dating sites; it's all done by computer. Once the website has been developed, it can be left to chug away at the search results, and the only costs borne by the dating sites are the costs of the computer hardware, the electricity, and the internet bandwidth.

On the plus side, anyone you send a message to will be able to reply to you! There's no wasting time with people that haven't subscribed to the service. You don't have to worry that 80% of the time, you could be sending a message to someone who won't subscribe to the service. It will also take you the same amount of time to develop an attractive dating profile, whether you use a free online dating site or a paid one.

In my opinion, it's definitely worth considering posting a profile to at least one totally-free dating service. See how you get on! After all, you are not wasting any money, are you?

Men Don’t Search - Be Searched For! Women - GO SEARCH!

<b>Why Online Dating can help you find Your Soul Mate</b>

I have a question for you . . .

<b>Do you really want to be happy?</b>

If you had to think about that for even a second I'm sorry but there isn't any help for you. You should crave happiness like air. It should be something that you feel so strongly about that you'll do anything, within reason, to get it.

So how can you get this happiness?

Well there is no greater feeling in life than the feeling of true love. Or the first kiss after that perfect first date. These are feelings that us mortals live for - feelings that everyone on this planet should be able to experience. So why shouldn't you?

<b>Hence the huge growth in Online Dating!</b>

Online dating has for some time had an aura about it that people who get involved in it are "losers" who couldn't get themselves a date in the "real world". Which is nonsense.

Many people just haven't the time due to work commitments to find that elusive partner. Others find the initial approach too hard therefore an email is a lot easier. Whilst some just love the buzz of excitement when an email from a potential soul mate comes through.

Whichever category you fall in, be it one of the above or another, you are not a loser. The truth is this:

<b>A survey showed that 83% of the people who thought that online dating was

Googling for Love

Google: (GOO.gul) v. To use an Internet search engine such as Google.com to look for information related to a new or potential girlfriend or boyfriend.

Have you Googled yourself yet? Can anyone resist? If you haven't had the pleasure, here's how:

Go to Google.com, type your name in quotation marks, and see what comes up.

A lot depends on how common your name is (like John Smith). I tend to get references to nobility (that's the Lord part), and the genealogy citations are many. But sure enough, there's my house in Maine (I rent it during the summer from an Internet ad) and stained glass courses that my husband Drew and I have taught. When I add my middle initial B, then the references are pure cyber romance. Yea!

Drew's name gets his scientific publications. If I had googled him when we were courting, I would not have made the embarrassing gaff of bragging about my publications (2). He had me beat hands down. But also, that Google search would have added to his credibility, because he is cited over and over as a scientist and connected with the Army Corps of Engineers. I would have been reassured.

But what if other connections had come up? Somebody with my name is a personnel expert. Also, it sounds as if my name is common in England. Maybe there is worse, buried under my name in the Net.

Seems like it is a good idea to be aware of what comes up if your name is Googled, sort of like keeping track of your credit report. If something negative comes up under your name and it's not you, you need to know that and be able to explain it to another. If it's not so good and IS you, you need to know and explain that, too.

While visiting some of my older relatives recently, they were quite interested in being Googled. My favorite uncle, who has an unusual spelling of his last name, shares that spelling with a rather well known gay porn star. Or at least, we assume the gay porn star and my uncle are not the same guy. The porn star does sound like he has some rather amazing physical attributes. That's the kind of Google citations associated with your name that it is good to know about!

There seems to be some embarrassment associated with Googling a prospective date or partner, but I can't see why that would be so. Unless it appears being a little too interested, like "I can't be bothered to check credentials, even though I have an easy way to do so. This person just doesn't matter that much to me." Why would you want to convey that message?

Especially if you are using the Internet for a mate search, it only makes good sense that you would use one of CyberSpace's best tools to help you make a safe and secure match.

But it also points out the need to keep one's cyber nose clean. It follows that if you are doing something that you wouldn't want anyone to know that you are doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

So Google away!

How to Survive Long Distance Relationships

One of the great obstacles to maintaining a healthy relationship these days occurs when jobs or other situations put physical distance between the two partners. This ultimately leads to what is called a long distance relationship that neither party may have been prepared for in the beginning. Long distance relationships require special skills to keep the connection strong and the communication flowing between the couple. The good news is that overcoming physical distances is a lot easier to accomplish than overcoming emotional distances between people. That is, if the two parties handle the situation correctly.

Even the most connected, loving couples need some extra skills to overcome the possible damage to the relationship imposed by long distance separation. To begin with, sex between them is gone as they have known it in the past. Without sex, and without the other partner looking over their shoulder, long distance relationships often meet a quick end as either or both parties find new sexual partners.

The key here is to practice abstinence. Perhaps a bit of risqu?onversation over the phone, late at night, might keep the partners from looking elsewhere to satisfy their sexual urges. It may seem a bit odd at first, having these sexual encounters over the phone with your mate, but it will help you make it over the rough patches of being separated.

The next biggest hurdle to overcome when physically separated is communication. Obviously, with today's technology, staying in touch is a lot easier than it was years ago. Cell phones, palm pilots and the internet make reaching out to touch somebody easy and simple. The key here is what is being discussed between the two separated partners. Complaining, whining about life, and otherwise badgering the absent partner will only make that distance seem even farther. Take the time to speak tenderly to each other, make the best use of your distance by reminding each other how much you love each other and the distance between you will simply disappear. These two easy tricks and a little common sense about your long distance relationship will help the relationship survive the separation.

A Real Man

Something I find 100% humor in is the fact that men are so quick to call women bitches. Well I will hold my " #1 Bitch " badge with honor! Because you know what that says to me? I Got You! I am a bitch because you can't handle something I have said or done, that you, more than likely caused to begin with. We women, the majority of us are angels. We are precious, we are great until we do something against you. Then guess what? We become bitches. It is so funny how we only become that when you can't handle us. We are not livestock to be handled my friend.

We are women, class acts, the mother of your children, your girlfriends, your sisters, and mothers, taking no crap and free, as you are, to have our own opinions and thoughts. If that makes me a bitch so be it. I will wear the badge with pride. If there are any real men out there with enough confidence to handle being with a woman, a real woman, who knows what she wants, I am looking. Not for the faint of heart, no weak men need apply, no mama's boys, or all about themselves boys, no abusers of any kind, no drunks or druggies, no arrogant boys, no flings or one- night stand boys, as a matter of fact, NO BOYS! Real men, who are compassionate, love kids, love animals, loyal, faithful, can handle others opinions, loyal, faithful, appreciative, romantic, loyal, faithful, passionate, intelligent. respectful, did I mention loyal, and faithful? That should do it for now. That is a start and would get your foot in the door, to become a friend, first and foremost, and than I will consider letting you become more, if you can handle it, take the step..

Take care all of you!
