The Benefits of Waiting to Have Sex With Him

by Sarah Love

New relationships can be a real delight - but they can bring up some very tough questions for a woman. One of the first questions women ask is “When is it ok to have sex with him?” It’s a question we all want an answer to - but the thing is, there is no real answer.

What you need to steer clear of are circumstances that allow for many women to be hurt. There are of course, innumerable situations that women can be hurt in regarding sex, but here are some of the most common reasons women fall into this trap.

1. Fooling yourself into thinking that sleeping together means the same thing to him that it means to you.

2. You don’t tell him what is means to you, you just assume he knows, or you are too squeamish to talk about it with him.

3. Not knowing exactly know how you feel and what sleeping with him will mean to you until AFTER you sleep with him and a whole wave of feelings hit you like a tidal wave.

The thing is, there is something wonderful that happens when a man must WAIT to have sex with a woman he is interested in. In doing this, you are forcing him to evaluate his FEELINGS for you and his readiness for a relationship.

Having sex in the beginning of a relationship may just allow him to value you only for that, and not even get IN to the rest of you. He may see you only as a great time, and you will never know otherwise because some people can be very charming when they want something.

Of course, something similar can happen to a woman as well. If the sex comes too early in the relationship - you may begin feeling like you are ALREADY I a relationship with him - when he may be feeling no such thing.

This is the biggest reason WHY women should wait to have sex until the relationship has been established. Otherwise, a very big chasm may develop between what you THINK is happening with your “relationship” and what HE thinks is happening. You may think you are in a relationship because you have had sex, but more than likely, HE does not. That leaves you hurt, angry, and possibly alone.

Or - if you still want to begin a sexual relationship with him - talk to him first about what this means to you. TELL him how you feel - that having sex means that you are in a bonafide relationship. If he does not feel the same way, or he freaks out because you said the “R” word - you know he is not the man for you.

Waiting to have sex with a man has many benefits. It helps to ensure he is interested in you for YOU, it helps shield you from the hurt of misunderstanding, and it helps to weed out the wheat from the chaff. So be patient, grasshopper, and wait for it to be apparent that your new beau is on the fly before you give yourself to him completely.

Being careful with Online Dating is Your Best Bet

by L.Buck

We all hear how every year, tens of thousands of people get married as a result of meeting that someone compatible or special from an online dating service. Do you ever wonder how they went about finding that out? Well now it’s your turn to do so.

The guy or gal you just met from an on-line dating service really wants to meet with you in person. You share in the same feelings and think your really compatible so why not just meet where ever he or she wants to in person?

Well all you have to do is follow a few of my own personal rules and which can help teach you all about the basics of safe internet dating and where to go from there. After spending sufficient time talking, emailing,and even talking by video cam with that special someone, you have finally reached a point that the two of you want to meet.

Common sense is my first rule of thumb. Trust works both ways. You should never let anyone you’ve just met from an online dating service make you feel uncomfortable. Try to read his or her whole body language not just what is coming out of their mouths.

Look for something that might indicate if your online dating partner might not be telling you the whole truth about themselves or with some experiences they may have shared with you. Rehash a conversation you recently had to see if any details may have changed. If so, they may not be trustworthy.

I believe that most people who actually invest their time and money into a online dating site are really looking to meet that someone special. Dating sites try and insist the information you give about yourself be as true to actual as possible. Its the screening process that makes you attractive to someone so don’t blow it by falsifying who you are.

Security comes from being smart about putting your self into compromising situations. You can never be to careful with trusting others from online dating services. Its important to discover as much about a person as possible and for a serious length of time before you actually meet in person.

Also some online dating services offer “background checks” and when you are signing up for their services. How do you know for sure how thorough it was? With this claim you may find that subconsciously you may have let your guard down but please don’t do that.

Not every state follows the same rules and guidelines when it comes to performing background checks on people. When you sign with a online dating service and they offer this service to you, take this as part of the whole equation of your assessing who a person really is and what they are truly about.

Their is no need to rush into any relationship with anyone you meet through an online dating service. Your guard and apprehension is your only weapon of defense. Be logical and smart about the position you are putting yourself in. If you feel you have honesty in the person you have met then keep moving forward and slow.

How to Give your Partner the Right Gift

by Wendy Bridger

Giving gifts to your partner is not as easy as it seems. Many of us enjoy showing our love in the form of a gift. After much time, thought, and often money, you happily give it to them. Sometimes, things end up just as they do on the diamond commercials with a passionate kiss and expressions of love. But often, the giver is disappointed in the receiver’s reaction, and the receiver is either indifferent or hurt by the gift.

How can this possibly happen when both the giver and the receiver love each other very much? The answer: there are several different types of gifts, and each of us has a preference to what we choose to give and what we’d like to receive. It is important for our partner to know what type he is and what type we are, so that he gives us type of gift we value, and we give him the type that he appreciates.

Some people prefer traditional gifts. These are the stereotypical types of gifts that lovers give to one another. A dozen roses, jewelry, or a spa gift certificate are all good examples of a traditional gift. Traditional gifts usually cost money, the pricier the better, as this is how the receiver often judges it’s worth. The traditional gift receiver feels valued by how much is spent on them.

There are those who love sentimental gifts. A love letter, handmade gifts, or dates created uniquely for the receiver are all examples of sentimental gifts. Often this type of gift costs little money. What the sentimental gift receiver is interested in is the time and heart you put into what you are giving them.

Some like unseen gifts. These gift receivers aren’t interested in tangible gifts. They prefer the unseen devotion their partner could give them every day. Unseen gifts include financially providing for them, regularly doing housework, or saying how much you love them every day. This type of gift receiver appreciates what you add to their lives each day to improve it.

Finally, there are some people who love to get gifts surrounding their hobbies or life passions. An avid runner would love a pedometer. A musician would love tickets to see their favorite band play. A computer techie would love the latest and greatest gadget to go on their computer. A hobby receiver will value the gift on how well it will allow them to enjoy their passion even better.

By finding out what type of gift receiver your partner is, you can always choose the right gift and stop getting gifts that are unappreciated. For example, a gym membership would be the perfect gift for the right kind of hobby gift receiver, but it might hurt the feelings of a traditional gift receiver. Knowing your partner is key to connecting with them in gift giving and in so many other ways.

The Laws of Attraction - and How to Use Them

by Chris Benjamin

Why does it seem like every time you are nice to a woman, gicing her flowers, buying her dinner, rubbing her feet, even walking her dog - you end up getting the line, “I only want to be friends”? Why is it that nice guys always finish last? Well - here is some news. There are rules in attraction and dating. You could - just maybe - be breaking some of them if your results are less than stellar.

There are rules to every game, and the game of attraction is no different. Each rule is important in itself - break them all and you will fail miserably with women. Learn them all - and you will party like a rock star.

Rule one - attraction is not, actually, a choice. the first time I heard someone say that, I think it was David Deangelo, I was like wow - that is so simple but its so true. You cannot choose who you are attracted to, and neither can a woman. That can be used to your advantage.

The second law of attraction - the attractive people have the pick of the pack. In particular - the hot women. They can almost any man they want, right? They know it. Men tell them! All the time! Beautiful women are approached CONSTANTLY. Every day - several times a day. So try to see this from HER point of view - if she gave her attention to every Chuck Schmuck that wanted it, she could not get through a day. So if you want her attention, you better earn it.

The third law is the one that takes the cake. Attraction does not make sense. Ok - so every girl you have ever been friends with dreams of Prince Charming who will sweep her off her feet, shower her in jewels and flowers, and treat her like a Princess. BUT - who is she dating? The jock with no neck that treats her like she is covered in pigskin. Why? because she is attracted to him, and attraction is not a choice!

The last law - law four - is that status actually does matter. She is not going to be attracted to someone she perceives to be beneath her. She wants the alpha male, not the follower licking his heels.

The thing is - women are on the lookout for the man that sparks that attraction in her. She may not even know what that “thing” is, but I do. That thing that women want is the man to be a real MAN. Not a wuss, not a wimp, not a “nice guy”. That may seem counterintuitive - but let me ask you this - how’s your current game plan working out for you so far?

What can you do to stop the attraction killing behavior? There are a few simple steps you can take to get your cajones back and get the girl. One - stop being NICE to attractive women. No compliments, no pleasing her, no gifts, no crap just to make her like you. As a matter of fact - bust on her a bit. Tell her she is a brat. Tell her she is being bad and you won’t talk to her until she can be nice.

Two - tell an attractive women no at least once every single day. Doesn’t have to be big - but when some hot woman asks you to hand her the newspaper at the coffee shop - tell her no. Of course, you can wait a few minutes while she grabs her jaw off the floor and then give her what she was asking for, but just bust her bubble if you can.

Three - respect YOURSELF and grow a pair, you know what I mean? Remember that you are YOU, and do not put aside your personality, your beliefs or your wants and needs for any woman. Or anyone, for that matter. Respect yourself and you will get respect.

How To Get A Girlfriend In 5 Easy Steps

by Tyler Moss

Getting a girlfriend isn’t easy for most guys. Most men don’t know where to go to meet women, what they want from a woman, or even what they want from a relationship. But once you do find a great woman the advantages are great. You will be able to stop all this time waisting on women who aren’t suitable for you. Were going to take a look at a 5 step system that will help you find your dream girl.

Step 1: What Do You Want From A Relationship?

The first thing you need to decide is what you are looking for in a relationship. What would your ideal relationship be like? How will this relationship effect your life? What are your relationship needs? If a woman doesn’t meet your needs then she won’t make a good girlfriend for you.

Step 2: What Kind Of Woman Do You Want?

Some guys like short-term flings so that they don’t have to worry about what to look for in a woman. But for a good relationship you do need to worry about what you want in a woman.

What you should do is come up with a list of things that you want from a woman. It helps to even look at your own behavior. If your a neat freak then you may want a woman who is a neat freak. If you want a family type girl then you wont want to date a woman who hates her own family. Write a list of things you like or don’t like then be aware of those things when dating.

Step 3: Where Can I Meet Her?

Just about anywhere. However, some places are better then others. If you hate party girls then don’t bother going to bars. If you like dancing then taking dancing lessons will be great. If you like outdoorsy type women then get outside. If you prefer to meet women in the day then go to the mall. Basically, you want to go to places that make it easy for you to meet women. You don’t have to go to tall the normal places.

Step 4: How Do I Approach Her?

When you know what kind of woman you want, and where to find her, approaching becomes much easier. You simply talk about things that you can both easily relate too. At the beach you could ask her if she wants to play volleyball. At the bookstore you ask her for an opinion on a good book. This gets gets the conversation started easily.

Step 5: How Do I Get Her Contact Information?

You can get her number fairly quickly if you want to. However, I recommend that you try to keep the conversation going for awhile. This pays off later when you are trying to make plans with her. In short it helps reduce flaks. You can try something like this. “I want to see you again. Put your number into my cell.”

Where To Go From Here

At this point moving forward you should be repeating the process. You don’t put all your effort into one woman until you are at the relationship stage. This is why it is called dating. You need to see what is out there and what your options are. Feel free to let the women know that you are dating other women at this time. This shows them that you respect them and that you are a man of integrity.

How to Deal With Breakup Pain

by Erik J. Michaels

When the love of your life leaves you all of a sudden, the pain can at first seem unbearable. Decisions are impossible to make, and just getting up each day seems almost too much. Stop it! If you just deal with it properly and think the right way, it’s not only possible to move past the hurt, but also to even get your ex back!

As a warm-up, consider the following things carefully:

1. Letting the pain keep you on the couch is a bad idea. Get up and go out with your pals, it’ll do you a lot of good and just might show your ex how strong a person you are…which usually brings up a question of if it was smart to leave you.

2. Don’t have TOO good a time, so to speak. Avoid drinking to ease the pain, because the more alcohol you have in you the more likely you’re going to destroy your chances of reunion with a 3 AM “lonely phone call.”

3. Sever contact directly after the breakup, for about a month’s time. This time and space is essential to the healing process for both people involved. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so give it a chance to happen!

4. Come up with a process or plan and do not deviate! Use your mind, not your feelings, when making choices. If you act too much with your heart, you’re more likely to make poor decisions that will hurt the outcome of all this.

5. If things don’t look like they’re going to work…don’t be afraid to move on. It’s a big world, and you true love is out there somewhere. Make it a goal to find that special someone, and be willing to accept that your ex may simply not be that someone.

There are more things to know of course, but these are the basics that’ll start you on the right road. If you’d like a few more valuable tips and tidbits of advice, you can check out the site below for free videos and relationship advice just for people in your situation.

Return To The Game Of Dating.

by Pam Baldwin

If you have just been through a divorce, there are some things that you should keep in mind when you start to date again. After a divorce, it can be rather intimidating to start dating again. It may be pretty hard starting to meet other people again. Some people say that after a divorce they no longer know how to go about dating, or perhaps the thrill of the hunt is gone.

Usually, insecurity is the force behind this. If you’ve suffered a broken heart by your former spouse, then it can be really difficult to start over again. You no longer have the confidence you once did, and you may be concerned that you no longer have the ability to find someone new. With some work, however, starting again is really possible.

First, though, it’s crucial that you’re getting back into the game for the right reasons. Don’t let your good intentioned family or friends talk you into doing it before you’re ready, and don’t feel pressure to start seeing other people just because your former husband or wife is doing so. Rushing back into it before you’re ready is almost a guaranteed way to ensure that it won’t work.

Remember that there will always be some kind of nervousness when getting back into dating. This is not a reason to avoid it. Not being ready to date is not the same as being nervous. Nervousness is a normal feeling in this case. Keep in mind that the more you get out and date, the easier it will become.

You might be concerned that you are clueless as to where you should go to meet new people. The bar scene is not really appealing at this stage in your life. You may also think that your social circle contains no love interests, and you are probably right. Usually couples who are married find company from other couples of the same type.

But, don’t despair. There are alternatives to hitting up bars or relying on your friends set you up on blind dates. For example, online dating is becoming increasingly popular. It gives you the opportunity to meet potential partners without a lot of the hassle that is typically associated with putting yourself out there. Sometimes people who are getting back into dating after a divorce find this method to be the least threatening, as well.

Let things go slow and keep your expectations low for now. Your final goal is probably to find the perfect someone, but it will make matters worse if you become obsessed with this objective. Dating is supposed to be a fun activity where you are trying to meet lots of new people.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. This holds true for dating as it does for other areas of life. There will always be bad dates, but you can either learn from them or at least tell your friends the funny stories of them. You are a special person and the right partner is out there for you. Never settle for less than you deserve. Dating after a divorce is not hard or scary. With a good attitude and the right approach, this could be the most enjoyable time of your life.

Why You Should NOT Call Him First

by Chris Benjamin

Picture this - you are out having a great time, you meet a GREAT guy who you just click with. The end of the night rolls around, and you exchange phone numbers. And the panic sets in. “Should I call him? WHEN should I call him? How long should I wait for him to call me?”

As a woman you are entitled to certain things. One is the right to change your mind at any given moment. The other is the right to RECEIVE the first call. So let me make that clear. You do NOT make the first call. Men chase - not women.

It’s actually innate - take a look at nature. Who does all the display work to attract a mate? The male. Women let the men display their wares and then pick from the finest. Turn the tables, though, and allow the woman to be the pursuer, and no matter what your intentions, you can come off as needy or worse.

The second reason to let the man be the one to make the first call is “the chase”. If a man has to put NO effort into chasing you, you are totally giving him the advantage. He will know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he has you where he wants you, and he can call you, see you, or NOT - at his leisure.

But there also another side effect to becoming the pursuer. It will completely KILL the chances of attraction growing, for you AND him. Like it or not, dating is a game at first. It’s a fun game of chase, cowboys and Indians, cat and mouse, whatever you want to call it. But if you lay down and surrender before the game has even begun, do you think he is going to want to play? No.

Thirdly - you are in demand, baby! You need to show him, or let him believe that you are in demand, you are a sought after item and you are not going to be on the shelf for long! Do not, under any circumstance, let him think that you are sitting by the phone eagerly awaiting his call.

Want to take it a step further? The first time he calls - PRETEND you are not sitting by the phone waiting - and let him get your voicemail. And yes, you can listen to it right away, but give it a few hours before you return his call. After all - you are a busy, in demand woman!

The fourth reason to wait for the man to call is simple. Security. If, for the first month you are going out, he is always the one calling for the date - you will KNOW that he wants you. You will know that he is interested in YOU and thinking of you. You won’t have to wonder if he is just being polite, killing time, or whatever. Security in yourself will breed attraction, as well, and he will see it, and he will like it!

As a woman, you should always let the man do the calling at the beginning of the relationship. So the next time you get that phone number - snuggle it, kiss it, tape it to your fridge, but do NOT place that call. Let him be the man and do the chasing. You will feel better for letting him!

Finding Your Perfect Dating Match

by http://juble.com/

Your Blueprint for Dating

Over sixty percent of first dates end without one of the individuals involved accepting or asking for a second date. It is extremely difficult to pair two people together that enjoy each others company enough or even have enough in common to bother going out more than once. Usually, one of the two people spot something about the other on the first date that spells the end of any hope for a relationship. This is largely due to indecision. Neither of the individuals have a set schematic for what they want in a long term dating match. Therefore, one little thing is enough to scare them off, as they are uncertain to whether they can handle this quirk in an ongoing relationship. Unfortunately, a lot of relationships that could have worked out and even ended in a lifetime relationship are ended due to the uncertainty. The individuals did not prepare themselves.

Preparation is simple enough, but not so simple that it can be overlooked. One has to search within him or her self to find the proper schematic for the perfect match in the process of dating. Fortunately, there is an overall blueprint for finding the exact questions to ask yourself to find your perfect date.

Question 1: Am I physically attracted to this person? If there is no physical attraction, there can be no emotional attraction. Attraction is the key aspect of building a relationship. It is a process that starts with physical attraction and inevitably leads to emotional attraction. It’s not love at first site, but it must be attraction at first site. http://juble.com/

Question 2: Why am I interested in this person? There has to be more than simply physical attraction in finding your perfect dating match. What is it about them, beyond the physical realm that catches your attention? Physical attraction alone simply leads to a one-night stand. The wise dater will be physically attracted, but look a little deeper beyond the surface.

Question 3: Are we compatible? Are you compatible with this person? Do you have similar interests? Overall, are you interested in hearing this person’s opinion on things? Do they offer anything to a communication? What do you have to offer them that would make them want to be with you?

Question 4: Can I handle their quirks? Everyone has something about them that gets on other peoples nerves. For some, it might be finishing someone else’s sentences. For others, it could be biting nails, vanity, or even a nervous twitch. You have to ask yourself if you can look beyond this and quickly learn to not even notice it at all? Does it really even matter to you or does it drive you insane?

Question 5: What am I in this for? This is the overall ultimate question. This is the one that will decide the future of your dating with this, or any particular match. Are you in it to find someone to hang out with, to share your thoughts and feelings with? Are you in it to find a friend, a lover, or a one-night stand?

In the end, your motives are the only aspect of dating that you can control. Utilizing the above blueprints, you can make a noticeable difference in your dating life. However, it is important to remember that you control only one half of the overall equation. It takes two to make it work and you have no control over the other person. However, if you know your own schematics, you are far more likely to find your perfect dating match and to kept them. http://juble.com/

How To Double Date Successfully

by http://juble.com/

There are multiple pros and cons to double dating. The pros are that there is less tension and less of an opportunity for uncomfortable silences and moments. The cons are that there is less chance for intimacy and getting to truly know your date beyond the veil of outward appearances. Though double dating isn’t always the best solution, it is an uncomfortable start. There are a few ways you can even maximize your double dating experience. http://juble.com/

A double date can be the perfect solution in the case of a blind date. Blind dates are always initially very uncomfortable, as the individuals have never even met. This usually leads to a lot of moments lacking in conversation. Most blind dates originate when a same sex friend has a female relationship that knows a single person. The two get together and arrange the date. If you can talk your friend into taking his or her mate and turning the blind date into a double date, the first date can be far more comfortable as both of you know someone there and can always talk to them in moments of unease or silence.

Double dating is also a great way to show your potential significant other that you know how to have a good time. Double dates are almost always fun-filled adventures. They are rarely a boring dinner and take the date home experience. Usually there is an event involved, such as a circus, fair, amusement park, theatre, etc. Without going overboard and getting too wild, it is a good opportunity to cut loose a little and lose some of your inhibitions. This will put the two of you at ease around one another on the second date.

A double date can equip you for the next date. For example, if you are a man and are on a double date, you can nonchalantly pay close attention as the two girls converse. While talking, you will pick up a few clues on what kind of food your date likes, what her favorite activities are, favorite movies, and tons of other helpful information. Be careful not to make it too obvious that you are listening to the conversation. Try to make small talk with the other person present as the two friends arm you with all the ammo that you will need for that next date.

Lastly, it is unfortunate, but all dating experiences will not work out. If the person that you have just been on a date on isn’t someone that you would like to go out with a second time around, you have an easy out. Instead of avoiding phone calls and hiding out, or actually having to tell the person that you aren’t interested in another date, you can always have the other couple that went on the double date with you tell them. This may seem cowardly, but once you realize that the friend of the date knows them very well, it will become apparent that this person will know how to let them down gently.

Ultimately, double dating has far more positive aspects than negative and generally results in a good time to be had by all involved. It also makes the act of the second date far more comfortable and easy. http://juble.com/
