Oh my goodness - the analysing!! The appropriate reply is:

"I know, but I'm giving you a chance." You gotta say it in the right, melodramatic tone of voice of course :P

I havn't been in this

Mon Dec 07 2009 - 04:59 am Commented in Understanding Men : I am Stuck in a friends zone with ex!How do I turn this around?

I havn't been in this situation but I would suggest:
- keep up not initiating contact (that is working presently!)
- DO NOT sleep with him
- Don't assume that he has feelings, in fact don't assume anything!
- Start dating other men, if that is hard at the very least join a dating website and see what kind of response you get
- Don't keep your dating a secret
- Men want what they THINK they can't have! Don't keep your dating a complete secret although it... more

You don't want to lose a guy

Mon Nov 02 2009 - 12:05 am Commented in Understanding Men : my boyfriend doesnt want sex

You don't want to lose a guy who doesn't make you feel wanted....

That doesn't sound healthy. Is it just sexually? or is this how you feel in general around this guy?

Next time he's relaxing - maybe sitting on the couch watching tv or something. Sit next to him and put your head on his shoulder/cuddle up. Just stay there like that. He'll probably ask whats up or similar...there's your opportunity: 'Honey, I feel (insert how you feel) when we go for a long time without sex. ... more

I agree with the above

Sun Nov 01 2009 - 07:27 pm Commented in Dating : we went out. but things were werid. how do u get over first date jitters?

I agree with the above posters. Also, if you are worried about looking stupid - let yourself be ok with that and be ready to laugh at yourself if you say something that makes you cringe. Guys love a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. Also, don't think that the magic happens only during the date. Once you say good-bye and you are no longer with him he will be thinking about you - that is usually when a guy figures out if he likes you or not.

Keep it light, relax and let... more

Internet Dating

Sat Jul 04 2009 - 09:38 am

I love internet dating. Why? It's a fantastic networking tool and if used effectively I do believe that you could meet your life partner - it has certainly happened for others before. Having said that I have had limited experience but I'm super-glad I had a go!

I joined a match-making website a few years ago and received several 'flirts' from guys. I had no picture and was very casual with my profile - to be honest I was doing it for a lark and didn't really care about the outcome. more

Funny things men do.

Hi there and thanks for taking the time to read this:)

Í've been hard put to think of anything to write on this blog (on account of never having had a blog before) but here is my first attempt.

As I was reading over posts this morning I was thinking back to when my bf and I were first going out. Things he would do to impress me/keep me happy. I'm going to keep this short and sweet. more

Inspiration Story:

"I met a wonderful man 4 years younger who has been divorced for 14 years.

He just proposed to me! I was stunned. He said "it's not hard to find someone else I can live with but it's quite rare to find someone I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT. I've been wanting to find this person and it's YOU."

He gave me the diamond and..."
