Aviod Serial Dating


Some women get right out there and begin dating while their heart is still reeling from the shock of the failed relationship. Instead of jumping back in the frying pan, find yourself once more. There are plenty of ways to keep yourself busy while your heart is mending.

1.) Get out and enjoy a new hobby. This works wonders for your sense of well being after you experience a breakup. Crafts are always a good idea!

2.) Read a book or better yet write one! Anyone can write a book and once completed they can publish it online.

3.) Go to church if you like that sort of thing or begin to volunteer at a local organization, which needs volunteers. Food banks, libraries, habitat for Humanity, and local community agencies can always use volunteers.

4.) Sit down and write out your feelings. This not only allows you to vent but seeing your words in black and white will show you why the relationship failed and why it’s better to leave it alone. Venting also is good to keep stress levels down.

5.) Figure out what it is that you enjoyed pre-him and do it again. That will help heal your heart and help you get over him.

6.) Join an online forum to talk with others about a hobby, work or simply to make new friends. The Internet is full of forums on a wide array of topics that can help on mend a broken heart.

7.) Throw yourself into work. If that does not keep you busy, I do not know what will.

8.) Get out there and start dating when you feel like it, but take the time to find yourself and figure out what you want out of a relationship before you jump back in.

9.) Pack his crap if anything is at your house and set it on the porch. Give him a few days to remove it and if he does not remove it, take it to Good Will.

10.) Get out into the world and have some fun. Go parasailing with friends, take a class at a community college, or simply go out for a few drinks with the girls.

Do not sit and cry over that man. Chances are you’ve already cried enough over his antics and wasted enough time that way.

Romance, its the little things


Keeping the romantic spark alive when the one you love goes out of town on business frequently is a necessity. With so many personal relationships requiring work related time apart from each other, the necessity of inventive thinking comes into play.
While some of the tips and tricks in this article may seem silly, they could very well keep alive that loving spark that tends to fade when part of your heart leaves town. If you are ever faced with the prospect of your loving partner, leaving town on business these could mean the difference to your sanity.

Keeping the romantic spark alive by calling the one you love. Frequent calls back to the one you love are most welcome because it shows you care. These do not need to be long calls; during the day, a few minutes here and there will do the trick, but there has to be at least a long call once a day just to talk about how the day went and to catch up. It keeps the two of you connected, and in tune with each other, because if one of you should begin to feel neglected then problems begin.

Keeping the romantic spark alive by sending quick emails or text messages to the one you love. Emails about funny jokes or a quick email just to say hey I am thinking about you does wonders as does text messages on the cell phone.

Keeping the romantic spark alive by taking couple time with the one you love. Spending time with the family is nice but alone together is vital to any dating relationship. When a dating couple spends time alone together, catching up on the week's events it brings you closer and keeps the relationship strong.
 
Remember the most important way to keep the spark burning with passion is to take the time for each other and be there for one another. Keeping the romantic spark alive is always important no matter if you are dating or married.

How to Avoid Being Clingy in a Loving Relationship

Avoiding the urge to be clingy in a relationship is hard, at times but how can we figure out how not be the clingy type? We all tend to be a bit needy at different times within your relationships but it is not fair to the other person if we act like a spoiled brat.

I am going to discuss why it is very important in a loving relationship not to be clingy and overwhelming. There is a huge difference between loving someone and controlling his or her actions, and control should never happen in a relationship.

The first thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is trust the other person totally. They are not like your ex, and will not do the same thing to you. Not every man or every woman is out to break your heart or steal your money. Relax and do not blow a good relationship because you feel selfish.

The second thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is realize that the one you love is in love with who you are. That will not change unless you continue to be selfish and that will only serve to drive that person away. Be yourself, the person they fell in love with and not the person who clings and is selfish.

  The third thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is keep yourself busy. When you feel like being clingy usually, it is because you are lonely and keeping busy will eliminate that need. Find a hobby, read a book, visit a friend, or clean your house from top to bottom do anything you can do to avoid being selfish.

The fourth thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is realize that one you love has a life which you are a part of. You are not that person's whole life and you should not consume them, for that only brings heartbreak to both of you. Do not try to consume their every waking moment of their life; they have jobs and a life outside of you.

The fifth thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is allow the other person to be themselves. You fell in love with that person because of whom they were, and if you cling to them for life support then you are changing them from whom you love. You should never want to change someone you love.

The sixth thing you need to do in order to avoid being clingy is realize that if you try to control the actions of the one you profess to love, you will lose that person. Let that person be him or herself. For if you try to control they will high tail it out of the relationship, as no one likes to be controlled.
There are a lost of reasons not to be clingy or selfish in a loving relationship and I hope I have convinced you not to be either.

Fairy Tale Love

Falling in love is the most wonderful feeling in the world, but it has to come naturally, if we try to rush love along or make it into something it is not, then it cannot be a fairy tale romance.
 
Love is never resentful, arrogant, or self-seeking it just is the perfect sensation in the world. Those people, who have this type of fairy tale romance, work hard at communication between each other, never allowing another to come between them in matters of the heart. Those who do not have it, often wonder why they do not have it, the answer is simple my friend, you simply have not met your soul mate yet and once you do, you will see yourself falling in love.

When you do find your soul mate, you will no doubt spend hours talking about everything and nothing, perhaps you will just sit quietly together and contemplate life lost in your own thoughts. You soon learn that with a soul mate, life is beautiful once more, and the dark clouds have seemed to fall away, and you wonder how it is that you have made it through life thus far, without them. That funny feeling in your stomach when you make eye contact means you are falling in love.

   
To be in love is the great feeling in the world, but to find that one true love which is a fairy tale romance is an indescribable feeling of utter bliss. It is like having sunshine every day, and knowing that when you do have a bad day there is someone there to hold you as you cry. It is also wonderful just thinking that someone besides your children thinks you hung the moon.

Trust me a fairy tale romance is not a figment of someone's imagination it does exist, and once you find it you never want to let it go.

Importance of Saying I Love You

Do you know why it is very important to say I love you to those people you love? Too many times, we just take it for granted that those we love know we love them so we feel as if we do not need to say it.

Those people we love need to know it everyday, because there may never be another time to say it. How would you feel if someone you loved died tomorrow and you did not take the time to tell him or her today that you loved him or her?

Perhaps if more couples told each other daily that they loved them, there would be less affairs, or divorces. When spouses or partners feel loved, it only makes sense that they would be happier within the relationship and not feel the need to cheat or leave. Therefore, it is imperative that you utter those three simple yet heartfelt words every day in a marriage or any type of relationship.


As parents, we often tell our babies we love them and we watch their smiles, yet most parents forget to tell their children that, as they get older. Instead, some parents show their love by buying all types of material goods, which is just showing the children that your love has a price tag.

My children often tell me they love me, because I have done that through out the years with them. I choose to take the time to say I love you to each of them very night, because I felt the need to. As my children grew into the teenage years it became difficult at times, we know how teens can get. However, I choose to do it 'Walton's style', Goodnight Amber, I love you, and I repeated it inserting her brothers' names.

They also heard it as they walked out the door to go to school each morning; in public schools, you never know when the next chance to say I love you will come so it was important to me. This not only let them know they were loved, but it began their day a bit better perhaps because they knew someone loved them.

Perhaps my boys as they will grow up and say the same to their children as their families grow, as my daughter is doing with her children now. This is a wonderful tradition to help spread the love in families and perhaps if more people said those words it would strengthen families. Lord knows this world could use less broken families.

We are all guilty of not saying I love you enough to those we do cherish at some point or another. When you take the time to utter those precious three words, it shows those people you love that they matter in this hard cruel world.

Even if you tell those you love everyday how you feel, it is important to show them just how much you love them by giving them a pat on the back as needed but hugs are a wonderful way to say hey I love you as well.
