One of the things you need to know about happy relationships is that it always has to move forward.
Both partners need to add new things into a relationship to keep it exciting and fun.

There are many ways to help a relationship grow, but nothing beats communication, especially in a new relationship. And perfect communication always starts with happy conversations. Also.if you know the right things to talk about with your girlfriend, your relationship will bloom into a better romance, and your girlfriend will fall more in love with you too.

Things to discuss with your girlfriend
Are you running out of conversations to have with your sweeter half?There may be times when you feel like you have nothing more to say to each other, especially when both of you speak for hours every day.
But if you want to say something interesting, and make her feel more connected to you, here’s what you need to keep in mind.

#1 Talk about your future. Talk about your life, the things you want to do, your future goals and aspirations and other things along that line. Girls always like a guy who sees his future and works towards it. You can be spontaneous, fun and live for the moment, but as long as you have a focused life, she’ll be awed by your determination and will like you more.

It’s an evolution thing. Men have a sub-conscious need to protect and hunt, and women need to feel secure and protect the young ones. It’s what evolution has taught us to do, and even though the roles have changed over the years, the things that attract girls to a guy hasn’t changed yet.

#2 Talk about her interests, her friends and her family. Ask her about her friends, her family and their lives, and have long conversations about her interests and the things she likes to do when she’s got time on her hands. Talking about your girlfriend’s interests will help her see that you’re genuinely interested in knowing everything about her and her life.

And beyond that, if both of you do share common hobbies, both of you will be able to bond better with each other. And if you do meet her friends or family sometime, you’d know everything about them which will help you make all the right conversations with them and charm them in the very first conversation!

#3 Talk about her views on life. All of us have our own individual views about life. But yet, we don’t share them with everyone in the world. By finding out more about her views on life, you’ll understand her better and know more about what she wants to do in future and what her real goals in life are.

#4 Gossip. Daily gossip is something that’s always interesting, and she’ll be able to talk for a long time about things that are happening in her own life. Ask her about her work and her colleagues and everything else that goes on during her work hours.Talking about movies and shows on the television can be great gossip too. If both of you like the same movies or shows, both of you will have a lot of opinions and things to talk about for hours on end.

#5 Talk about your secrets. Everyone loves a good secret. Do you have a few secrets that you don’t generally tell everyone you meet? Then share that secret with her. It’ll flatter her and make her see that you trust her enough to share your deep secrets with her.
And before you know it, she’ll start sharing her secrets with you, and become much more intimate with you.

#6 Your childhood and your past. Childhood memories are always fun to talk about and to listen, especially if it involves an embarrassing or funny incident. Talk about your first crush, your good looking teacher, the first time you got drunk or the time you did something silly. Your girlfriend will definitely have a good laugh and enjoy spending time with you.

#7 Vacations and date ideas. Talking about dates and holidays is always a fun time in a relationship. Most of us spend an entire year dreaming of the yearly vacation, or spend a whole week planning the next romantic date. So why not share your ideas with her?

She’ll love talking about date ideas that interest her, especially when it comes to new movies, restaurants, and fun things to do together, be it planning a vacation together or coming up with ideas to spend the whole of Saturday together.

#8 Compliments and romance. Compliment your girlfriend about her dress or something special she did for you. Every girl feels appreciated and loved when she hears a genuine compliment from the guy she likes. Talk to her about how beautiful she looked on the last date, or how sweet her voice sounds over the phone.

Good compliments always lead to better romance and more romantic conversations. Always remember to make your girlfriend feel loved and appreciated, and let her know just how special she is and how important she is in your life.


#9 Her passions. Talk about everyday things that interest her, be it shopping, cooking, gardening, blogging or anything else. Your girlfriend will feel wonderful to see that you’re really interested in talking about things that are close to her heart. But always remember to be genuinely interested in her passions, or you’ll just end up hurting her feelings.

#10 Naughty conversations. A big part of relationships is sexual chemistry and naughty conversations. Talk dirty to her or ask her a few naughty questions while texting each other or talking late into the night. She may blush or act coy, but she’d definitely love the sexual excitement you’re building in the conversation.

#11 Around the world. Be aware of the world around you, either by watching the news or reading the papers, and talk to your girlfriend about things that seem interesting.

You’ll always have new things to talk about every day, and at the same time, you’ll also be able to discuss a lot of fun things that’ll help both of you understand the world around each other better. But remember to keep it light and easy, and avoid anything that’ll get heated up like politics or religion.

#12 Your life for the day. Generally, it’s the girls who talk more about their own day while the guys just listen. Guys never usually go into details unless they’re really comfortable with their girlfriend or have something to nag about.But trust me, the more you go into the little details about what you were up to that day, the more options you’ll have to build new conversations and hear her views about it.

#13 Talk about your fears. Girls love a guy who can open up and talk about his fears. By talking about your life’s dreams and your fears, you’ll make your girlfriend feel closer to you because you’re revealing your vulnerable side to her.

If something bothers you or something has upset you, be it your friend or something at work, talk about it with your girlfriend. She’ll definitely be interested in it and would love to help you too.

Previous bad experiences have made guys change the way in which they relate with women. Now some can connect with them on a deeper level. They know what they want, and how to give it to them. In this article I want to share some ideas that will help you create the right impressions on your first date, and leave lasting positive effects.

#1. - Greet with a hug
You can't make a female feel attracted to you unless you make her feel comfortable around you, and you create sexual tension in the right moment, and in the right amount. And you can only achieve this through touching.There is a lot of power in touching; it will help you create comfort and tension at the same time.

Greeting women with a hug is a good idea for several reasons. First, it is not perceived as a threat. Second, it will build strong foundations for escalating your touching attempts in the future. And finally you can gain a general sense of how she is feeling.
So, as soon as you meet your date greet her with a hug. Just make sure you don't hug her in the same way you hug your grandmother or your pals. You want her to think of you as a potential sexual partner, not as a friend.

#2. - Don't try to impress her
Most guys don't realize it, but when they try to impress a girl they decrease their social value, and their desirability. You are basically saying to her: "I know my attributes can't be easily perceived so I need to point them out."
Instead you should behave in a playful way. Be open and honest. Don't qualify yourself to her. This will make her perceive you as an insecure man. Open up and drop the pretense. Fake nothing. Some guys even make the silly move of going as far as making the girl believe they (the guy) own all the money in the world. Lol . Y'all need to stop that. C'mon.

#3. - Choose the right topics to talk about.
Most guys try to talk about serious matters on their first date. After all, they are trying to show the girl they are intelligent and interesting guys. But, to connect to women on a deep level you need to keep the conversation casual and let her know your true self.

Act, like you would with one of your male friends. I am sure you wouldn't discuss about politics, or economics with your friends on a bar, would you? Let her guide the conversation, listen attentively and use the clues she throws at you when she is talking.
For example, if she says, "I was at the Elegushi beach (or the cinemas) with my family last week and I enjoyed it very much", you'll know that family is an important topic for her. You can answer, "What was so fun about it?" She will give you another clue on how to win her heart. Keep her talking and she will enjoy her first date, and you will build strong foundations for the future.

Do you have problems in your relationship? Do you really care about it? Do you want to save it? Most individuals encounter some problem in their relationship at some point of time but if the problem continues unabated, you will need to look at it and try to find an amicable and lasting solution. So how do you save your relationship?

Relationships are precious and if you are really intent to save it from disaster there are many simple steps that will help you win back the love of your life. Here are some simple tips in how to save your relationship :

* Most relationships start going downhill as we fail to communicate our thoughts and opinions with our loved ones. So first and foremost, you will need to open the channel of communication. It is one of the most effective ways to save a relationship from failing. However do remember to be kind and courteous while you communicate and avoid hurtful remarks and references.

* All of us tend to be charming and try to woo the loved one during the initial stages of a relationship but after we get over this phase we tend to take things for granted. Dress well and make the effort to create the magic again in your relationship.

* Learn to express your feelings. Everyone admires an individual who is open, frank and honest. There are various ways to compliment and express your admiration for your loved one.


* Keep the excitement alive by surprising each other. For instance you can organize a surprise party for her/his friends or get her/him something they love or just buy them some gifts (you don't have to wait for a special occasion) once in a while when they least expect.

* It is very common to commit mistakes in a relationship.
Accept your mistake and apologize genuinely. Most people tend to forgive past mistakes if the apology and repentance is genuine.

* Give each other space and let them do the things they love. Most people tend to interfere a lot in each other's decisions and life in general and this can cause a lot of frustration.

* Try and seek help if both of you are keen to save the relationship. You can seek the help of a counselor who will be able to identify the problems and offer simple solutions.

* Most of us tend to have hectic lifestyles and do not devote time and attention to the person we love. No relationship can survive if it is not nurtured and cared. It would be advisable to devote some time to things that you loved doing earlier.

* Do not be possessive and jealous as you will only stifle the relationship by displaying such emotions. Build trust and explore new horizons together or as separate individuals.

* Listen to your partner. There are many verbal and non verbal cues that we tend to miss when we do not listen in an attentive manner to what our partner is saying.
These simple tips on how to save your relationship will help you rebuild it and live happily.

Have you ever fallen in love with a girl only to find that you’re more lost and confused than ever? Gasp! Is she using you? Find out with these signs.

She may seem charming and cute.
She may even be flirty and just the perfect girl you’ve been waiting for.
But is this new relationship leaving you confused and low on confidence?
She tells you she loves you, but the way she behaves seems otherwise. Is she using you?
Every now and then, you may meet a girl who seems to fit snugly into the dream definition of a perfect girlfriend.

But if you ever feel a flicker of confusion in those first few weeks, chances are, she’s using you or she’s just put you on her waiting list until she makes up her mind.

Is she using you? – The signs

It’s frustrating to realize that you’re being used, even when you’re trying to be a great boyfriend or a sex buddy. [Read: How to be a good boyfriend]

She may try to convince you that she truly loves you and wants to be with you, but five minutes later, her behavior may change and she may just act friendly all over again.

Ever been there? Read these signs to find out if she’s using you.

#1 She wants her space… a lot!
Are you dating a girl who clings to you for a few days, and then completely ignores you for the next few days? While playing hard to get may excite a guy, this is pushing the game too far.

Every time she ignores you or pushes you away, you may find yourself falling more madly in love with her. On the other hand, she’s probably interested in a few other guys or sleeping with them, just to work out her options. When a girl claims to love a guy, and yet avoids the guy completely for a few days every now and then, there’s a good chance there’s another guy in her life.



#2 Behaves like a friend
Does your new girlfriend behave like a friend now and then? She hugs you and cuddles you, and then pushes you away and tells you it’s all happening too fast and she’s not ready for it? [Read: Why are women fickle in love?]

Ouch, any girl who behaves like a girlfriend but prefers to stay friends is obviously using your love and affection to feel better about herself.

#3 Her friends don’t know you
When a girl uses you, there’s a good chance you’re never going to meet any of her friends. But if you both do bump into a good friend of hers, does her friend even realize who you are?

And if you see her with a group of her friends and not one person recognizes your name, you’re in serious trouble of being played into a game of I’ll-suck-the-life-outta-you.

#4 You’re not introduced as a boyfriend
This is a no brainer here. But it’s something most guys in love almost always forgive and forget. Have you ever been introduced as just a friend? If she’s convinced that you’re the man in her life, she’d proudly display you like a primped up puppy in a dog show. But if she’s just using you, there’s a very good chance that you relationship status will remain as friends.

#5 She’s confused about your relationship status
Now she may be genuinely confused about the kind of relationship both of you share, especially if she’s just broken up with her guy or is still in a relationship with some other guy. But the point is she’s confused.

If she truly does love you, there’s nothing to be confused about unless she’s still in love with another guy. If that’s the case, you’re not the winner here. You’re the scapegoat filling up the blanks when her boyfriend or another guy doesn’t have the time for her.

#6 She talks about her complicated love life
Do you spend more time consoling her or telling her how the mistakes in her life aren’t really her fault? Girls who end up using guys are confused women who want to be reassured and loved all the time. She may be losing the love of her own guy, and may want you to reassure her about her own relationship and fill her life with happiness and extravagant gifts.

And yes, she wouldn’t mind cuddling up with you once in a while for all the nice things you’ve been doing for her. This is seriously messed up!


#7 She makes out but only when she wants to
You may sweet talk her and take her out to expensive dinners, all in the hope of getting some love and appreciation back from her. And of course, a little bit of making out too. [Read: How to make out with a girl]

But if you’re in love with a girl who’s using you, nothing really matters. She’d let you dance on hot coals almost all the time and make out with you only when she feels like it. She initiates it and she ends it, at her whims.

Her excuse: I’m still confused about my feelings for you/for my own boyfriend/the three other guys in my life.

#8 She dominates the relationship
Does she call you up whenever she feels like it, or asks you to meet her at her whims and fancies? A girl who throws her weight around a guy knows she’s already got him wrapped around her little finger. Don’t ever be that guy. You’d end up shattered almost all the time and you’d lose all the confidence you have.

Turn the table around and throw her around a bit. Two things can happen here. She’d take you more seriously, or she’s walk out of your life. Either ways, it’s a good thing for you.

#9 She wants you to listen, but not the other way around
Are you in love with a girl who loves talking about her own life and her little problems? Does she tell you about how bad her ex boyfriend was and why she had to cheat on him just to show him she has other options? Or does she confess to you about making out with a few other guys and wants you to tell her she’s not wrong and that she did the right thing?

And on the other hand, every time you try telling something to her, does she forget all about it or feign drowsiness?

A girl who only wants to talk and feel good about herself isn’t in love with you. She’s using you as a priest to feel good about her own shortcomings. If she did love you, she’d be more interested to know about you and your life than whining about her own guilty confessions. [Read: How to tell if a girl likes you]

#10 She’s in another relationship
Almost always, relationships where the guy is being used starts off with conversations about complicated love lives. The girl you like may already be in a relationship, and with each conversation you have, both of you may fall more in love with each other. She wants to go out with you, she loves to talk to you, and she can’t wait to spend time and make out with you.

But she doesn’t want to leave her own boyfriend or end her relationship with him. She tells you she’s not happy, but she doesn’t do a thing about it.

If you find yourself experiencing any of these signs that you’re being used, you better walk out of the confusing affair before you end up with a broken heart. After all, she’s probably got a few backups with whom she’s playing the same game anyways. [Read: How to get a girl with a boyfriend]

She may not do this intentionally just to hurt you, it’s just that she’s a selfish little cutie who cares more about her own happiness than anything else in the world.

Is she using you?

So what do you do about it now that you know she’s using you?

You have two options.

Walk out of her relationship drama before you get hurt.

Lose the love and just start using her back. With any luck, by removing love out of the equation, there’s a good chance you’ll behave more like a bad boy instead of a lost puppy and make her desire you a lot more.

We have found some ways that might help you spot a man who is in for the real deal and not just fun/fling.

1. He is interested in your life - If you tell him about how nervous you are concerning the next promotion at work or the next big move in your career and he calls you to check how it is going, asking every step of the way how you are feeling, then he is there for real.
Men who want something real don’t hesitate to know everything going on in your life.

2. He is never too busy to call - Face it, nobody is too busy to call someone special. An “I called to say I miss you” call won’t last more than a minute, so when you truly care, you won’t be too busy to call. A man who is never to busy to call you and who calls back when he misses your call or text is one who is serious enough. You know why? Because men know how seriously women take the calls they put through to their man. They know women get angry when a man refuses to acknowledge their calls. So when he calls back to say “I’m so sorry I couldn’t reply your message or call at the time…” Or makes it up to you?
Then he just might be for real.

3. He is willing to help - Whenever you need to get something done and you discuss it with him, if his immediate/automatic response is “so what are you going to do?” Without him offering to help in any way, then he just is not in it for the long term. A man who is into you and wants to start something serious would try to find out how he can help when you are in a fix. Not ask you without being concerned what you want to do. Men like to be men by helping their women and easing their stress. If he cares and is for real, he would offer to help. As simple as that.

4. He is interested in your career - A man who truly wants to be with you will be concerned about your career and your future plans. If he is serious about your future then it means he is serious about you.

5. He is proud of you - He takes you out and flaunts you whenever he has the chance. He does not leave you standing by yourself while talking to his friends in a party or an event, rather he stands by you and lets everyone know who you are to him.

The biggest turn offs for women
On a serious note though, there are a few girl turn offs that can pull the plug on a perfectly great date.
Turning on a girl isn’t easy, and we’re not just talking about tweaking any body parts here.

Getting a girl to like you is difficult business. It’s like playing a role playing game, where each move is unique and confusing.
But whether it’s making hay in the rain or just wanting to know how to impress women, the biggest turn offs for women are all the same.

Now, some women like big hands and some like small things. I can’t tell you every girl’s personal preference, so I’ll just tell you what you need to know to make sure you never find yourself in the middle of a girl’s turn off zone!

#1 Insecure personalities
One of the biggest turn offs for women is a guy who’s insecure about himself. If you’re not confident about yourself or are feeling nervous, trust me, it shows. This is one of the biggest reasons why guys get spurned on a date.
Are you happy being who you are? Do you think you make for great company? If you aren’t happy being who you are, what are the odds that the girl you’re with would like your company? Some guys have a great positive aura around themselves and some guys are just plain nervous and scared. If you’re an insecure guy, it’s time to change your behavior.



Or lose the girl! Hmmmmn.

#2 Oversensitive guys
All our lives, we’ve been taught to be nice and chivalrous. We know we have to help the damsel in distress, step aside in an elevator, hold the door open for women, and make sure she’s all happy and gay.

To sum it up, we’ve all been taught to think like a girl and experience what they feel. But somewhere along the line, some guys take the whole game of being chivalrous and experiencing the womanliness inside a man to a whole new level. Drum roll… welcome… "the sensitive guy".

Sensitive guys are really nice guys who’ve listened to their mama and have learnt their manners. They’re very much in touch with the feminine side inside them, but they’ve been so rigorously trained on connecting with their feminine side that they’ve crossed the line and have gone way overboard. Watching a mushy movie with a guy and crying on his manly shoulder is a great way for a girl to spend Sunday afternoon, but sharing tissues to wipe each other’s tears? Nope, that’s just not right. Same goes with guys who ask if a girl’s having a nice time a hundred times on a date.


#3 Being cocky or pompous
Some guys think they have it all. And at some point, all the attention and the smothering from their parents and buddies make them assume they own the world. They make idiotic statements and love talking about their own glorious deeds or misdeeds. Do you incessantly talk about how well you played a game or how many cars you own?

Well, say what you want, you’re just going to be a cocky pompous prick. Even gold diggers may get bored of you in no time. Learn some humility and you could still get back in a girl’s good books.

#4 The foot in the mouth
Now this isn’t a bad thing, but we’ve all experienced it. Here are a few instances. You’re kissing a girl, and all of a sudden, you stop and tell her you need to pee. You touch a girl on a date and excitedly tell her how happy you are to touch her. You’re having an affair with a girl, and you ask her if she feels weird about kissing someone other than her boyfriend.

You get the drift, don’t you? This is not always your fault, but nevertheless, it’s still a huge turn off for women.


#5 Boring guys.
Gosh, another big one on the list. Have you ever met a guy who was just too boring? Now I don’t mean nerdy or geeky, those types can be great guys and even better boyfriend materials. I’m talking about boring guys whose company can kill you in no time.

All girls and guys have experienced this at some point in their lives. We’ve all had to sit next to a guy, and his conversations were so boring that you would rather jump off a cliff. To avoid being a guy in this cliché, work your conversation around what your date wants to talk about. If you see her looking around while you’re talking, it’s time to change the conversation. If you see her eyes light up and her gestures getting animated, you’ve hit the conversation jackpot, baby!


#6 Dumb guys
Are you a dumb guy? Yeah, of course, you aren’t. But many guys are really dumb without realizing it. Now I’m not talking about being an idiot or the village simpleton. I’m talking about guys who speak their minds on a date, without thinking about how their date would feel. If she’s looking around while you’re talking, and you realize you need to change the topic of conversation, do it discreetly. Don’t ever say, “oh, you’re getting bored, aren’t you? You can tell me, I won’t mind…”

Unless you want your date to claw her nails into the leather of her seat or crawl her toes in awkward cringing desperation, avoid being a dumb guy.

Shout out to dem dumb guys.. LOL.. I pity una.

#7 Fidgety and touchy guys
Movies always portray an exaggerated version of the touchy feely guy. You don’t need to have sensitive nipples to be a touchy feely guy in real life. The worst part of being a touchy and fidgety guy is that most guys don’t know they’re that guy!

Let me give you a few examples here. Do you play with your hair, your pen, or start tapping your foot or drumming the table now and then while bobbing your head like a giraffe when you’re bored? Do you find yourself touching your chest a lot after working out for a few days? Bingo! You’re that fidgety and touchy guy. Don’t ever be touchy feely when you’re on a date, it can be annoying and at times, even creepy!

#8 Narcissists
Now we have the mirror cracking good looking boy. Any guy who spends more time in front of the mirror than his own girlfriend is a huge turn off. But we’re not stopping there. If you’re having dinner with your date, and the waiter accidentally spills a bit of juice on your silk shirt, wipe it away like a man. Don’t whine about how your silk shirt is ruined and behave like a drama queen.

In the world of dating, a narcissistic guy is one who’s overly bothered about his own things like his cell phone, watch, or just about anything else that belongs to him. Boy, you’re with a woman. Let her be the cynosure of your eyes!


#9 A unmannerly prick
Manner, manners. Girls like a guy who knows his manners. Now every guy should know his manners *though he should never push it and become the sensitive guy*. But that’s not it at all. There’s something even bigger.

You should be man enough to apologize or accept that you’re wrong. No guy’s a bigger sore loser or a turn off than a guy who just can’t accept his fault, but would rather throw tantrums and make a fuss and pout like a four year old. Learn to man up and remember, accepting that you’ve made a mistake is not a sign of weakness.


#10 The overenthusiastic fan
Are you into video games? Sports? Or perhaps, you like your well toned muscles that could put Brad Pitt in Troy to shame. Stop talking about it for a minute. It may be football fever or anything else. But going on about it when you’re on a date is a huge turn off, unless she’s very much into the same activity. And if she doesn’t like your favorite team or doesn’t share your interest, stop trying to rouse her interest by going on talking about it. It’s just boring! Just discuss and tell her things you know she'll love to hear.

Every couple at some stage or another want to know how to make a relationship work better. We all face up and downs in our relationship and we often may look back and remember how happy we were when we first met our partner and wonder why we have relationship problems now.

Whether or not we see it, practically everything changes in stages. Our personal lives can be broken down into stages as we age, go to school, start working and get involved in a significant long term relationship or even marriage. These distinct stages can also become stages within themselves as you advance through each one.

Our relationships are no different. There are 5 different stages of a relationship and you will be able to make a relationship work better once you acknowledge where you've been, where you are now and where you're going with your partner.

1. The Rose Coloured Glasses Stage.
The first of our stages of a relationship is probably the favourite for most people and is known by many names. You're head over heels in love with your partner and he or she can do nothing wrong. You're perfect for each other. It could be called the Rose Coloured Glasses Stage because everything looks rosy. You both are so happy and think this wonderful feeling will last forever as you're on your best behaviour and do sweet things for each other just because you can. It is very rare that you or your partner argue or fall out.


2. The Disenchantment Stage.
The second stage is known as the disenchantment stage. The rose coloured glasses have come off and you realize your partner is human and makes mistakes. He or she is not as perfect as you first thought. Little habits you hadn't noticed before become annoying. Romance is still there but is slightly muted. It's during this stage that common relationship problems can first occur. Good communication between you and your partner becomes very important because you're wondering where the fantasy went and what to do about it.

3. The Panic Stage.
The third stage is the panic stage as the disappointments grow and the relationship is not enjoyable anymore. There are many external pressures such as work, your partner's family, money and there may even be young children on scene now. You begrudge the fact that your partner doesn't see things the way you do. It's now that you really need to work hard on your relationship because if the problems cannot be settled in a nice way some couples threaten to leave and finish the relationship.

4. The Strength Stage.
If you can make it through stage 3, you progress into the strength stage. Greater feelings of love and trust are felt as you feel more self-confident and your relationship becomes more peaceful and meaningful. The extreme intimacy has passed into more of a friendship as you each drift into your own hobbies and interests. Even though you have mastered how to have a relationship that is more calm and supportive, avoid the temptation to become bored and enjoy the happy relationship.

5. The Love And Commitment Stage.
The last of our stages of a relationship is probably the best as you accept your partner for what he or she is, with all their faults and irritating habits. This is known as the meaningful love and commitment stage. True love has developed and you're both committed to working on how to make a relationship work. You're no longer struggling for individuality but functioning as a team that can enjoy life together.

What stage are you in? Let's know. *winks*

Romance is literally like a drug, it's rapturous. During the beginning stages of falling for each other, the brain releases chemical compounds that make us feel so great that there are really no words to explain it.

However, in the same way a drug abuser builds up a tolerance after some time, that warm and fuzzy love feeling starts to change as well. Sooner or later, the sizzling fire of love begins to burn down to a scarcely glowing ember.
What happened to the spark? Where is the heat you experienced so clearly in the beginning? It's still there, you only need to stir the fire.

What should you do when the butterflies in your stomach stop fluttering? All couples get to a place where their romance begins to get "comfortable" and the fire starts to die down. While you might feel like you're caught in a rut, it does not have to be like that. Here are some solutions to get the fire back in your love life:

1. Talk with Each Other
For your relationship to do well, both of you must be in a position to open up to one another on every subject in your daily life.
Even when you can't readily fix a problem, you're displaying great courage by unveiling what's happening with your feelings and thoughts. It demonstrates faith.

One of the biggest culprits in destroying a partnership between two people is closing the door to communication. How are you going to fix an issue if you do not know what it is?



2. Show Appreciation
It is the little things in your life that mean a lot. Recognize and value each and every little thing you do for one another whether it is pressing his trousers or holding the door open for her. Show one another respect and courtesy exactly like you would for a friend or stranger.

3. Keep Each other Guessing
It's always exciting to put a bit of mystery in the mix. Astonish your sweet heart by showing them another aspect of your personality they didn't know was there. How fun is that? That may really kindle a fire...

4. Carefully Tease Your lover
Whether the two of you take a short respite to cause you to miss one another, or send hot texts all day long, it is a method of teasing (pre-intimacy) that will lead to a wonderful enchanting night.

5. Become spontaneous - Don't Be Self Conscious
Nothing will stoke the flames of love faster than letting your inhibitions go wild. Men love this. In reality, most guys desire an angel by day and a devil at night.Do not be scared to show him this side of you - you know, your inner Goddess? Let it out, he'll never be the same. Just be yourself.


Some Few Extra Tips :
Reminisce
Remember the old days when you could not keep your hands off one another? Talk about that memory and discover what happens. Sit down, talk, and laugh about the times you spent in the beginning. When you were first falling for each other. Do not forget why you fell for him in the first place. *covers face* This part is always so interesting o.

Never Stop Dating
Reserve a special night a few times a month for the both of you to do whatever you enjoy but without distractions from anyone. It can be as basic as sharing some together at a nice spot/restaurant or going to the a movie together depending on your pocket/budget because you don't necessarily have to spend a fortune before satisfying and making your partner happy- so long as you are together and having a great time.

Always Be Intimate on Every Single Level
Intimacy isn't just physical, it's emotional as well. A standard, hectic day is likely to drain the intimacy from life. Put it back, it is critical. Staying close to your partner emotionally is just as critical as engaging in a physical intimate encounter.

Keep your Connection
Slow your way of life down enough to look into your partner's eyes and say a genuine "I love you". Take the time to hug and kiss and show each other genuine attention. Just when was the last time you looked into your soulmate's eyes and told them just how much they mean to you?

These tips are going to bring you incredibly closer to the one you love and get the fire back into your romance. Perhaps you should try them?

When boy meets girl a chemical reaction occurs that triggers the interest and emotions of each one - this is chemistry, which is a real response that fuels the fire of desire. Once they connect they begin the process of getting to know more about each other. It may even gain speed and intensify, feeling like the big "L" love, which is really infatuation. These first two steps are the potentials to falling in love.

If things go well for a longer time you actually get to know the real person you are spending time with. Not the things they want you to know, but all the important things about them beyond talking and enjoying a great physical bonding. You get to know who they really are, what really matters to them, their true feelings about the important issues in their lives and a wealth of information that may not fall into the important category.

Soon after, the bond includes trust. You begin to feel comfortable with the knowledge that you can confide in this person and that their response will be caring and guided to your best interests. Your response to each other will be equally caring at a deeper level than the first few weeks of getting to know one another.

Loyalty follows trust; it is earned through the process of trusting and learning that it was earned, it was real. The kind of familiarity that this close bond establishes leads to real intimacy. It is an honest sharing of the deepest parts of yourself with a person whom you trust completely. Very personal issues that once would have been horribly embarrassing become funny memories to share. You feel safe even when you are exposed at a private level.

It takes real time to develop trust, confidence and loyalty with another person. You have to be willing to peel back the layers of protection that you have been carefully safeguarding yourself with. It took years to put them in place; it is nothing shy of a miracle that you can remove them in a matter of weeks or months. When you feel safe to do this, you have crossed a line into intimacy and what could very possibly develop into the real thing; love.

Now you are in a relationship!

"Most people go into intimate relationships without having a knowledge of what they are going into no wonder there is a very high rate of breakups and disappointment in relationships. With my understanding and knowledge on the issues of relationships I'll give you 5 QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF BEFORE GOING INTO A RELATIONSHIP.

1) IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME FOR ME?: This question of timing is personal and it has nothing to do with what the society or your family demands, it even has very little to do with Age. It is a matter of you and how you can balance the demands of a relationship with the demands of your career or your present engagements or situations.

2) WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO THIS PERSON?: This question is very important because you attracted is most likely what will sustain you in the relationship if things don't go as planned. Are you attracted by his or her physical beauty? Physical beauty will always fade away and therefore not be a foundation in your relationship. Be attracted by the unseen (inner beauty) for they last longer than the physical things.

3) WHAT IS MY PURPOSE FOR GOING INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP? : In everything you do including relationships you must always define purpose. It is often said that where purpose is not defined, abuse is inevitable. Are you going into a relationship because you think you are old enough? Or you want to satisfy your deep hunger for love, affection or intimacy? Or is it because all your friends are in a relationship?. IF your purpose for going into a relationship is faulty there is a very high tendency that the relationship might fail.

4) AM I MATURED ENOUGH FOR A RELATIONSHIP?: Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to ask yourself this question. Maturity is not by age maturity is of the mind, it is by understanding. Ask yourself if you can manage the emotional feelings of a totally different person from you, have you even been successful in managing your own feelings and emotions not to talk of that of another person. Also character comes into maturity ( what are the values in you that make up who you truly are).

5) DOES MY PROSPECTIVE PARTNER ALIGN WITH MY FUTURE GOALS AND PLANS?: You wouldn't want to jeopardize your dreams and glorious future you picture for a relationship. This question is very important even before marriage. Even though the person is all you dream of in terms of physical and inner beauty, ask yourself if the person can be helpful and supportive for the fulfillment of your future goals or an antagonist."

When you've been dating a guy for a while, you probably notice that getting his attention isn't as easy as it used to be. Luckily there are four simple things that you can do to enjoy his attention once again. Check them out . Let's know what you think.

1. Stop texting him every waking moment.
Your boyfriend doesn't want to know your every move. He just doesn't. If a boyfriend does want to know your every move, he's probably controlling. You're going to drive him crazy and he's going to stop responding. When he stops responding, you're going to think he doesn't care, which he doesn't. Guys don't like to be bombarded with texts. He might intend to reply to your text when he has a free moment, but you text him four more times and overwhelm him. Lay off the texts and let him reply. The less you text him, the more he'll wonder what you're up to. He'll think of you more and be more likely to text you.

2. Be fashionably late for a date
It's not always a bad thing to be late for a date. You don't want to be consistently late or an hour late, but showing up a few minutes late, especially if you're always early, will get him to notice you. If your boyfriend is the one who is always late, arrive after him. You will definitely get his attention.

3. Send him a risqué, but not nude photo
Text your boyfriend a photo of your legs in fishnet stockings and you'll have his attention immediately. You don't have to send a nude photo to get his attention. Just a little hint of sexiness will do the trick. You can send a text with the photo that reads something as simple as "hurry home." You bet he will hurry home to you. Hmmmn.



4. Touch him lightly
A light, non-sexual touch can be very exciting. Stroke your boyfriends arm while he plays a video game or flips channels on TV. If he's washing dishes, sneak up behind him and give him a hug. This is not only loving, but shows your appreciation as well. A light touch can be distracting in a good way. Don't forget areas such as the head, neck, and ears. They are sensitive to touch and will definitely make him feel good.

Getting a guy's attention isn't as difficult as you think it is. Sometimes you just have to disappear for a while and make him miss you (Ha! For me, i don't like missing "her" for too long o) LOL! . Sometimes it's all about giving him a little shock or doing something that you normally wouldn't do. And most of all have something nice to say about him everyday. Try finding good things in anything that he does. He will always know that you are there for him.

Final word from yours truly *smiles* - I know there are some badt guys out there (naija bois una well done). But trust me, no matter how bad or how much of a flirt a man is, he definitely know a good lady when he sees one. Ladies, abeg make una play una own part too nah. It's not just about always expecting the guy to do all in a relationship. You want him to sort you financially, you want him to be romantic, you want him to take you shopping, you want him to always call you , you want him to always do this and that. You wan kill am ? Lwkmd .Abeg u nko? Maximum respect to all the good and supportive women out there.

I guess that should do. You have more to add? Let's us know by dropping your thoughts/comments.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. “Yeah right!” is usually the almost predictable reaction of anyone in a long distance relationship. But in truth, a number of advantages come with dating over distance. Check them out below:

Builds trust
Trust is vital to the success of any relationship and distance doesn’t make it any easier. Distant couples find themselves constantly worrying about what the other person is doing at the time, and friends are sometimes not helpful. Doubts begin to crop up, jealous rages become frequent and the couple find themselves asking if the effort is worth it in the long run. A long distance relationship tests the couple’s level of trust at its utmost and if the relationship scales through, the couple can survive anything.

Enjoy better communication
Communication may also become a challenge and long distance relationships help. It becomes easier to share more because looking forward to speaking with the person makes the heart skip joyfully, since one would not want to take for granted the fact that the person is miles away, especially with the erratic network services available in this part of the world. The available moments are a treasure for keeps.

The sweet joy of independence
Long distance relationships help an individual enjoy some ‘me’ time which is necessary to retain some sense of self so the person doesn’t get lost in the shadow of the partner. One becomes forced to take critical decisions and weather storms alone, and in the long run, become a better person. Also, there isn’t the constant need to be on your toes. Imagine a lady having a pedicure and speaking to her significant other via Skype as well. Almost impossible in a face-to-face situation!

Bask in the adventure of romantic fantasies
Celine Dion’s “I drove all night” couldn’t capture this better. Visiting a significant other becomes something to look forward to, a treat couples who see everyday do not enjoy. And that smile when you meet for the first time in weeks, priceless!

‘Only-for-sex’ concept becomes far-fetched
“If he/she is not getting it from you, they’re getting it elsewhere.” This statement has been made all too popular by the increase in partners resorting to ‘alternatives when the significant other is unavailable. Long distance relationship encourages discipline, which translates into integrity. Your partner can vouch for you anytime, any day.

Learn new innovative skills
Long distance relationships encourage partners to learn new skills, especially when one has to keep up with the ever changing antics of social media. Aside that, various means of spicing up the relationship becomes a compulsory lesson. Planning a welcome get together instantly perks up the spark in the relationship. Love letters, postcards, surprise gifts and even visits, in varying ways, contribute to the pleasant compulsory
activities of being in love.

nice one everyone.

1. We want men to take initiative
It is a very important thing. We do not like to take care, to plan and to do all sorts of things by ourselves. We want men to take initiative.

Though, we never tell about it, you should know that it is important that you carry out some difficult tasks or surprise us. When a man takes initiative it means that he is involved, that he is attentive and caring. Do it more often, no matter what kind of thing it is – list of stuff to buy, or prepare dinner, or plan your next holiday.

2. We want to be surprised more often
All women go crazy with surprises, so we secretly dream about our partner to show his creativity and to astonish us as frequently as possible. Even a small unexpected sweet trifle will make a woman feel special and loved. It shouldn’t be an expensive gift, simply showing your initiative, concern and deep affection are priceless. It is not difficult, just be open and careful to your lady. When she realizes the fact that some effort has been taken to make her feel happy, you will be soon rewarded.

3. We are afraid that another women attract him more
It is a hidden fear among most women that other women in their man`s life, coworkers or female friends, may attract him more. The reason for it is quite simple, we all want to have something that we can`t have. So women are afraid that their man`s heart may be stolen or he will start fantasizing about another woman. There is nothing worse for a woman than that.


4. We want men to be sincere
Every person wants his\her partner to be always open and sincere no matter what. Nobody likes being fooled. And, of course, women are no exception. We can forgive a lot of things but not lies.

Irrespective of the situation or how bad your fault is, a woman will always hear you out and even help you to solve the problem.

5. We notice and understand body language
Women are known to have a sixth sense, especially if it concerns relationships. We always notice and analyze all small details in another person, and that includes body language of our partners. So we usually are aware of his sympathy to a colleague, which we have never met. Once we notice something suspicious, it starts bothering us, though we may not be even aware of what exactly annoys us.

And if a woman suspects something, she will be very upset when her man doesn`t spend time with her but stays in the office.

@wharlzywee, lol , thank God for you though. It wasn't easy , i guess.... Anyone with a similar experience? Lets make it fun and interactive.

Most guys, if not every guy hates to be in the friend zone, especially when it is with a girl they are attracted to.

There is no need to define what the “friend zone” means, every one in five guys must have been “friend zoned” at one point or the other in their lives but for those who have no clue what it is, friend zone is that place where a girl puts a guy she considers more than a friend, but less than a boyfriend. She is polite to him, cares about him but won’t date him for whatever reason. It hurts abi. Lol ...

Here are five top signs to know if that girl you love has "friend-zoned" you :

1. She hardly returns your phone calls or worse, never returns your phone calls.
When a girl is attracted to a guy, phone calls are part of the numerous ways she shows it. Forget the emergence of blackberries and other social networking medium, she fancies you, she calls to hear your voice. When you call her every other time and she never returns any? You have been friend-zoned!

2. She cancels your plans at the last minute.
If she constantly puts an end to your plans together without any genuine reason, it means she doesn't really respect you or whatever you guys share and won’t want for there to be more.

3. She teases you
She hugs you warmly all of the time, sends “accidental” kisses, maybe even shares her bed with you, just so you don’t walk away and so you are always there to rescue her whenever she needs to be rescued.
4. She tells you how much of a fantastic boyfriend you’d be to another girl
She tells you how good you would be for any girl but her. It shows she can’t see you and her in any form of commitment either in the present or future.

5. She shares her experiences with other guys while you’re together
When a girl constantly discusses her attraction with other guys and asks for advice from you in getting them, knowing fully well you are interested in her, you have been seriously friend zoned. Chai ! Na this one dey pain pass. Guys, you know what i mean. *covers face*

True or Not. Which one hurts the most for you? And ladies, guilty of any ?
