Relationship Advice: The Law of Reconnecting

December 31st, 2007

Country singer Jeff Bates sings about trying to reconnect with his wife in the song "Long Slow Kisses."

In the song, he turns around after leaving for work and comes back home because his wife had said she was lonely. One of the lyrics implies that they may talk all day or "maybe we won't talk at all…."

Sounds like a reasonable and perhaps even fun way to reconnect, doesn't it?

<b>One way to not reconnect</b>

Well, as I so often do, I learned a lot from a client this week who used that song as an example of what not to do.

Working with a couple in my office one day, the wife went on what could only be called a rant about the misleading messages in "Long Slow Kisses."

According to my client that song is not the way to reconnect with a woman.

<b>One way to reconnect</b>

After she got done with her rant, I asked her, since she was the only representative of the female gender in the room, what were some way to reconnect.

At first she said communication. Then she said no, communication could be just saying that the sky is blue.

She went on to say that the way to begin reconnecting is with conversation. One example she have would be if her husband were to simply say that he did not like it that they seemed so far apart.

Amazingly to him, she said this would be more effective than a day of lovemaking.

I think there is something for all of us to learn here.

Online Dating Advice On Using Personals Sites

December 30th, 2007

Dating Advice - One cannot take too much effort in preparing a profile. It is something that should be viewed in all seriousness. Please do not treat the subject lightly. Imagine that you are preparing for a job; won't you spend a lot of time getting your resume ready?

Well, most of us take up jobs for how long, four or five years? And how about a relationship, definitely we do not embark on a relationship with the expectation that it would last for just a couple of years.

We have to understand that a relationship is really worth much more than a job, because it is probably the most important decision in your life. So now let us discuss ways in which you can spruce up your profile.

You can of course get a professional to do the job for you since it saves you the effort. You may have to dish out a small amount of course, but it could be worth it. There are many people who have qualms about including a picture in the profile. Well, I don't want to press the issue. It certainly does look better to have a picture in your profile, but due to privacy issues you can refrain from including a picture.

The best thing you could do is once you are comfortable chatting with a person and are convinced that this person does not have any devious intentions, you could send your picture over as an attachment or a file. But this, too, is best done a mutual exchange basis. It would be unfair if you know what the other person looks like but the other person is kept in the dark and vice versa.

Dating Advice - The Face In The Mirror

Now, coming to the picture as such, if you are sending over a picture of yourself, for heavens sake, send over a decent picture. It should be a recent one and please do not make any compromises about the quality. Get a professional to do the job for you and with the digital techniques of today, they can do a very impressive job.

At the same time do work on your expression before the photograph is taken. Stand in front of your mirror and try out various expressions till you get something that you think is the best for you. And remember that it has to be a picture of you smiling. You should not have the classic hang dog expression, or the butter-will-not-melt-in-my-mouth expression. Smile, it costs you nothing and it really lights up a person's face.

Now, the first thing that you should do is take out a pencil and paper and write down the raw details about yourself. By raw details we are referring to things like you age, your height and your weight.

This is the skeleton of which we are going to work on. And when we have added enough flesh and blood to this back bone, why even you will be impressed by your profile! But first let us steer clear of certain pit falls into which most people fall.

Dating Advice - The Modesty Pitfall

Most of us have been trained to be very modest. When it comes to saying something good about our selves we feel very queasy about blowing our own trumpet. Right, no body is asking you to do any trumpet blowing but facts have to be stated as facts.

If you are a music lover and have a good voice too, I can't see why you can't put it down like that itself. Why can't you declare simply without sounding very proud that you have good voice? A pointer that you could bear in mind would be to add something like, My friends think that I sing rather well.

There now, you can't feel too bad about something as simple as that. It is as good as saying some people think that I sing well, but it is for you to decide whether I have a good voice or not. Similar statements that you can work on and even add are given below.

Lots of people appreciate my cooking.

I am no Rembrandt, but I enjoy painting.

I like decorating, and many of my friends think that my tastes are not too bad.

So go ahead, if you really have a talent, you might as well as let others know about it, after all a talented person would any way like to be appreciated by a partner.

While we are talking about modesty, there is one question that I want to address right now. It is something that all of us are familiar with. If you have chatted with a stranger with whom you are trying to build a rapport you must have been confronted with the question before. The question is what do you look like?

I have often wondered about the sense of this question. The best answers that I could come up with are I look like a cross between an orangutan and a Tasmanian devil or I have my mothers teeth, my fathers nose, my uncle's eyes and my roommates shoes.

But of course we cannot give such answers which funny though they might sound, might just rub the person in the wrong way. What the person actually means is, are you good looking or not?

Dating Advice - A very tricky question indeed! How can you answer such a question with out sounding either super modest or extremely vain? The answer to that is not to tell them the answer directly. You can say something like:

I am as fresh as peppermint.

I look like a bunch of fresh lilies.

I have the appeal of a bowl of fresh fruit.

If the person still does not take the hint, then give them a detailed description of every inch and let he or she decide for himself or herself.

What Does Cognition Have to Do With Dating?

December 30th, 2007

Why on earth would something like cognition have anything to do with dating and success with women?

Well, with relational dynamics there are many things that are covered that actually help to explain the meaning and truth behind male and female behaviorism and mating practices.

And once you have cognition of the root meaning or directive behind any female's behavior, you can understand your relationship to it instead of letting it overwhelm you. You'll be able to appreciate her for who she really is, instead of being intimidated and losing power.

Dictionary.com defines 'cognition' as: "the act or process of knowing; perception"

And American Heritage Dictionary defines 'cognition' as: "That which comes to be known, as through perception, reasoning, or intuition; knowledge"

Consequently, the antonym of cognition is 'Ignorance'; "the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc."

Now, let's apply this to male and female behaviorism and start realizing some fast breakthroughs that can lead to pure physiological change so that a man can actually be 'comfortable in his own skin' around the beautiful women that he desires.

In order to do so, we have to go deep and look at the root elements or powers of influence.

Most men today are ignorant to the true relational reality that exists.

Mating, and sex is essentially a natural function that can clearly be seen throughout the Animal Kingdom. Social standards and marriage have created a different form of influence on mating and on who a woman chooses to sleep with.

Most men will take the courtship route of dating women, showing extreme interest for one reason; it's what they have been socially conditioned to do. Ironically, that's exactly what it is; 'social'.

It's not primitive and natural yet it's influence now has been too strong so that men have lost touch with their own natural ability to make women swoon.

So many women can't stand this courtship approach of men coming after them (unless they're a gold-digger or looking for marriage) but the social influence is so strong that they can't override it..they will just choose men who aren't ignorant to their needs.

Up until now in mainstream, no one really teaches men about their hidden natural power to make women swoon while still ultimately respecting women.

It's at the point now where men start finding out about their own independence and power in relation to women because that's what women are looking for.

Instead of more social dogma which edifies women into the stratosphere, it's time for men to realize what's going on and to be able to treat women like real people instead of like goddesses.

His cognition of a woman's natural, inner and social character will allow him to look beyond any level of development in the most desirable women and bring out the part of her that wants to be seduced with respect.

If you could solve one of the remaining mysteries on earth for your own lifestyle (women), wouldn't that cognition and power be more worth it than job success even?

Cognition is power and ignorance is not bliss (unless you like getting rejected and being confused about women).

How To Win Back The One You Love

December 29th, 2007

It is completely normal to make mistakes, feel jealous and have outbursts of temper. We are humans, not robots and therefore can't push an "off" button and stop being angry or irritated.

However, when we first meet an attractive person we try to show all of our good sides, by being gentle, funny and caring. But as soon as we win his/her love, we consider a goal accomplished and for the most part let the romance fade. Gradually we may start to reveal our weaknesses and try to control the person that we have relationship with, thinking that he/she is our "property". This is the main reason why most relationships end with a breakup.

If you found yourself in such situation, but still want to win back the one you love, don't despair! Your situation is not completely hopeless, even if your ex started to date someone else.

To win back your ex boyfriend/girlfriend you have to re-establish friendly relationships with him/her. It is a lot easier now, when it used to be some twenty years ago. You can start a conversation by sending your ex an email, dropping hints that you are sorry and that you understand why he/she broke up with you. Don't whine or beg your ex to forgive you. It makes you look weak and depressed and all you can get by acting this way is pity.

You want to become his/her trustful friend, that your ex can always rely on and share his worries or problems at work. But at the same time you want to get your ex's interest back by being a little mysterious. Make the person that you want to win back, think that he/she hasn't learned everything about you.

Under no circumstances sit at home, sulk with your lonely life and feel sorry for yourself. You have to keep yourself busy, by going out with your friends, signing up for a foreign language course, jogging in the morning or doing some volunteer work. First of all it won't give you time for depression, second, you will have interesting stories to tell to your former boyfriend/girlfriend and let him/her know that you are taking a conscious action to improve yourself and moving on with your life.

After you have a feeling that your ex wouldn't mind to go out with you, invite him/ her to watch a movie or have a cup of coffee. Plan this day in advance. What does the person that you love enjoy doing? If he/she likes horror movies, book two tickets beforehand. If it is bowling, make reservation for the bowling alley. Let your date have fun, by keeping the conversation light, reminding him/her some funny moments that two of you have shared, complimenting on your ex's sense of humour or appearance and listening attentively to what he/she tells you. If your beloved wants to meet you again, consider it 90% of the success. After that all you have to do is keep moving in the same direction and try not to screw it up!

Timeless Dating Tips That Works: How To Impress A Girl No Matter Who You Are

December 29th, 2007

There are many articles available on how to impress a girl, and many books as well. But how, really, do you get and keep her attention, and keep her coming back to wonderful you? Do you follow the men's versions of The Rules, that say you wait x number of times, you avoid a, b, c, and you be sure to always do d, e, and f? Do you follow the special advice on how to impress a girl you are attracted to or who is wealthy? Do you go with the psychology of genders, and follow the generalizations that all girls want Brad Pitt, are on diets, and love to shop?

If you do try to abide by any of the above "rules," are you not eliminating a number of options to meet and maybe get involved with a girl who loves cars and can drop an engine, rebuild it, and replace it in three weeks? Won't you be leaving out the girls who have no money but are potential moneymakers, as they are working two jobs and taking classes at night to become a veterinarian or a geologist?

You get the idea. Following some common advice on how to impress a girl might in fact have the opposite effect: you may offend her when you were trying to intrigue her, make her laugh when you intended to make her swoon, or you may make her scream when you meant to make her giggle or laugh.

So how about this? Try following a few righteous and fair methods that work almost every time.

Be real, and be realistic. If you deliberately lie once, you have just changed everything. You now have to keep track of the lie, never forget it, and know that that lie is what part of your potential relationship is now based on,, if she believes you. One day, if you start dating, she will find out and dump you, or at least be very hurt and have a reason to mistrust you.

If you will be yourself, meaning that it's okay to be nervous if you are nervous (some girls find that adorable), and clumsy if you are clumsy (some girls find this endearing). Remember that the girl you seek to impress might not be the one for you,…no matter how close a next-door neighbor she is or how many years you all went to the same football games and movies. Look for someone else if you are just not each other's type.

Be confident and self-reliant. Do not think yourself unworthy of every woman who walks into study hall, either. Try to strike a healthy balance between "morose doom" and "nauseating cockiness." We do not know how to handle either of you, other than to giggle nervously and then run in the other direction as fast as we can.

Be interesting and interested. Cultivate an interest in her hobbies as much as you expect her to develop an interest in yours.

Be as healthy as you can be. Studies show that we are attracted to bodies and faces that represent optimum reproductive abilities and features. Doing whatever you can to achieve this will be very helpful, so take care of yourself. Not everyone can look like Brad Pitt, but you can keep yourself properly groomed, eat a healthy diet, and get in better shape if you have been a couch potato.

Be fair. Do not put the girl you are attracted to on a pedestal or cut her down unfairly. She won't make love to you constantly. She is also not your mother, so do not expect her to clean up after you or cook for you whenever you demand it. If you are just meeting her, do not tell her how much you adore your mother.

Finally, have a positive attitude. You do not have to fake joy and happiness if your favorite pet just died, but try to see something good in every person you meet. And try to see some good in yourself. Offering a smile and a joke if appropriate can help you bond with her. So can simply saying, "Hello."

Dating Through Online Chat Rooms

December 28th, 2007

Internet or online dating is a fantastic way to meet someone without having to face the bar or club scene. Going into a chat room you can get to know someone and talk to them, so that you can determine if you want to meet with them or date them in the offline real world.

You are able to communicate and get to know quite a bit about someone, without even having to leave your home. The physical appearance aspect is thus very much played down, giving both a chance to base attraction on deeper values.

The first impression you give, will be based totally on how you present yourself and communicate online through the words that you type. You need to be aware of some things for your own safety though. Luckily these are very easy to accomplish by being an anonymous computer user. Just use some common sense before meeting people in real life.

Always use a fictitious online name or "handle". Try and use an email address that can be easily changed or deleted. Never give out your work email address or your physical address over the Internet. This is not only to protect yourself from the person that you are chatting to, in case they have less than honest motives, but also from online lurkers. There are people out there, some very clever people, that will eavesdrop on your chat, and use any information they get to their advantage. This often happens without either chat partner even knowing about it. Use a "Hot mail, Yahoo or Gmail" account for this.

You should of course be honest about the information that you do put online. Your gender, age and city that you live in, are general enough, to be useless to hackers, but obviously important to your chat partner. Just avoid handing out phone numbers, addresses etc

Be honest when you're chatting with someone online. This is particularly important if you're chatting trying to find a potential date. Starting to lie about how you look, what you do, your interests, or any other personal information, would not be a great start to a potential relationship. Always think, what if this person is the one, would you like them to be interested in something that you are not, or the real you? Remember, you will eventually meet in real life if this goes further, how would you feel about someone that had lied to you? Give the same courtesy that you expect.

Also don't expect too much from someone that you meet in a chat room. Remember, you don't know what they are really like so it's best to wait and not arrange an offline date after the first chat. Set up online dates a few times, for Internet chatting before you agree to meet in a public place for something innocent like a cup of coffee. Always leave yourself a way out at a first meeting.

Should you swop pictures with a potential date that you met online, do use a current photo that actually shows what you look like now, and not one from 20 years ago when you were prom queen. They want to know what you look like now.

So to sum it all up:

Avoid surprises, don't compromise your integrity in any way and get to know someone anonymously before venturing further into a potential relationship.

Remember keep on loving

Getting Along

December 28th, 2007

Some people seem to have a talent for being agreeable. They are labeled as being friendly persons with wonderful personalities. I, myself, have to concentrate on what is being said and consciously back burner my personal strong beliefs that run counter to the opinions aired. I find it difficult to give the speaker the benefit of the doubt so that I can hear his (or her) opinions to the end without interrupting. I know that in the past I have been known to run off at the mouth with my long winded diatribes. Some of this tendency was caused occasionally by the Benzedrine component in my allergy medication, but not all.

Once, to prove a point (to myself) I mimicked the style of the group of radio personalities on the Imus in the Morning Show. Imus himself is a personable raconteur of considerable fame. He sets forth his emphatic opinions, taking the underdog's cause every time. Of course he uses the humor element to tease anyone he deems pretentious or fake in any way, lighting into them unmercifully. But the point of this example is the attitude of his minions. They invariably take up Imus' cause and amplify it with expressions of full support - even exaggerating to the point of ridiculousness. Imus' response to this vocal agreement is to use it to further his cause. His radio comrades are the 'Yes men" of the air, becoming furiously indignant when Imus is slightly annoyed and violently angry when Imus had his feelings hurt. This show of empathy is what binds different people together and what I would like to emulate in order to 'get along' in the world.

I did try it on my wife one day. She was suffering from a form of depression where everything takes on a negative aspect. So in order to neutralize these black feelings, I attempted to use the methods I observed on Imus' show. It really did work. My wife immediately felt better, sounding more positive in her conversation and appeared far less argumentative. I also felt the positive vibrations in reaction to my vocal support. Since then I have tried to be less obtuse in my daily conversations without undermining my true feelings and to listen better.

We all have to get along in this world and there is little room for my unsympathetic attitudes. Now I know one of my resolutions come New Years Day. I might even start now.

Relationship Advice-Schedule Time

December 27th, 2007

The key to a happy relationship is being together with each other. The closer you are to your partner the better relation you inculcate. What so ever the relationship, whether it is parent child, husband wife or girlfriend boyfriend, all need to spend time together to know and to understand each other well. Less time spent together widens the gap between the partners. You feel lack of communication when you don't meet often resulting in lack of intimacy with your partner.

In your daily hustle and bustle you have to set time accordingly amongst work, children parents and partners therefore Time Management is very important in our lives to keep our work and relationship going.

24 hours in a day seem to be very less in busy world of today. You have to keep pace with time as is just runs away without you realize. You have to distribute time between your work, family and relationships. For all this, time management is a must.

Be organized! Try to complete your work on time, never keep it for tomorrow. The first step in the process of time management is to be organized! If possible make a time table to jot your work and try to complete it on the given time period. Not to forget to keep time for personal relationships. Secondly you should try not to make commitments with the loved ones when you are not sure, let it be more of a surprise. It will definitely improve your relationship. When you make a promise and break it embitters the relationship, especially when it becomes a daily routine. Relationships tend to worsen when you commit to spend time together with your loved one and land up in a disappointment.

Setting priorities is an important factor to get going in a smooth way. You have your priorities set and you know exactly which way to go, off course you have to be unbiased in setting your priorities between your work and relationships. Work comes first! There is no denying the fact but relationships are equally important. Just think of a situation

Change Your Life By Dating An Asian Girl.

December 27th, 2007

Imagine the joy of finding the love of your life, an exciting romantic liaison or a rewarding friendship when you are looking and feeling your worst.

You had a hellish time at work the previous day, you feel as though you haven´t slept a wink, your skin would be a voyage of exploration for a dermatologist and a crow would be more than happy nesting in your hair.

You feel tired and fed up and your self-esteem is at an all time low. You long for someone special with whom to share your life, but right now you feel that even Quasimodo wouldn´t consider you as a romantic option.

In this moment of self-deprecation, how is meeting Mr or Mrs Right possible? By taking advantage of online dating, of course.

Amonrat is 38 and works for a prestigious law firm in Thailand. Her dating track record since the tragic and premature death of her husband five years ago has been poor.

Although the majority of Amonrat´s work colleagues are male, she says, "The majority of them are married and even if they were available, I would not be interested.

I also don´t think I could cope with having a relationship with someone involved in the legal sector. I imagine that we would find it very hard to leave our work behind.

Socially, where does one go to meet likeminded men who are genuinely interested in a relationship as opposed to a one-night stand?"

Amonrat went onto explain that she met her late husband whilst at university in Bangkok and, during the many contented years of her marriage, she had a fairly blinkered view of Asian dating agencies.

"I viewed them with suspicion, assuming that they were frequented by people who either had major personality flaws, or else had some ulterior seedy motive.

I never once stopped to think about how difficult it is in this day and age to meet suitable companions in mainstream environments.

Of course, about two years after Wissarot´s death when I began thinking that I didn´t want to spend the rest of my life alone, I realised that meeting other people was not that easy. Clubs and pubs really didn´t appeal to me.

I tried going with friends to wine bars, but found that I was largely on the receiving end of unwanted attention from thai men in whom I had no interest. It was also obvious that the majority of them were just after a quick thrill."

Amonrat quickly began to view Asian dating agencies as an attractive option, but didn´t really like the idea of being computer-matched with someone.

After all, that removed personal choice and she made it clear that she was not the sort of person who liked having choices made for her! Her decision to try Asian online dating as an alternative was made whilst awaiting a dental appointment.

"In the waiting room, I came across an article on Asian online dating as I was idly perusing the obligatory stack of well-thumbed thai women´s magazines.

The article must have been particularly well written, because I was instantly sold on the idea. The concept of being able to peruse a database of potential suitors whilst still in my dressing gown was extremely appealing.

At least I knew that when I did dress up, it would be because I actually had a date, rather than putting a huge effort into preparing for a night cruising around social clubs, with no guarantee that I was going to meet someone.

After my appointment, I couldn´t wait to get home and begin checking out some of the sites that were recommended."

Amonrat spent a long time researching the plethora of Asian online dating sites before she found one that she felt catered for her needs, which of course included a level of security.

"I wasn´t particularly drawn to totally free sites, because I felt that they were more likely to attract members who weren´t particularly serious about the process, or whose intentions weren´t entirely honourable.

I was more interested in sites that allowed you to peruse profiles, but which required you to pay for full membership before allowing you to contact other members.

That way, I knew that those I contacted were probably more serious about meeting someone special and not just after a quick fling.

I wanted to sign up with an Asian dating site where I felt totally in control and also secure in the knowledge that none of my personal contact details would be divulged to anyone unless I specifically chose to give out this information.

I was also more impressed by Asian dating sites that offered a range of relationship advice and articles."

"At first I felt rather embarrassed admitting to even my closest friends that I had chosen this route, but when I did, I was amazed at how many of them had also considered doing the same thing.

One of my friends, whom I assumed had met her foreign husband at the gym, admitted that she had actually met him via an online message forum. Although this wasn´t the same as an Asian dating agency, essentially it was no different.

She had found someone with whom she shared common interests, but whom she had not previously met face-to-face and that is exactly how I began broadening my male social circle, except via a dedicated relationship facility."

Amonrat says that she found the search process "exhilarating".

"It was like being an invisible fly on the wall in a room full of interesting foreign men from all walks of life with their personal profiles attached to them I could look, analyse and weigh up the options in a way that would be impossible if all those men were in one room.

The best part was the convenience and the fact that it didn´t matter one iota what I looked like or how I behaved!"

"I also liked the idea of initially being able to build the foundations of a relationship on friendship and mutual interests, before actually meeting someone and being blinded by lust, which of course never lasts with the same intensity as at the beginning of a relationship!"

Has Amonrat met her match?

"Very possibly", she laughs.

"I´ve had tremendous fun and I´d like to say that I believe I have found a relationship with future potential, but you´ll just have to wait and see……!!"
