My situation is probably one like many. I met a guy after a 13-year marriage, and thought I had finally found love again. We dated for 8 months and then he had to go back home to finish his term in the Navy. When he was done he would either come back for me or I would go there. When he left, he called me and told me he was married and separated, and was finalizing a divorce. I accepted that, but later got a phone call from his wife, who had a very different story. Since then his wife and I talk a lot over the phone. According to her, they have been separated over a year now, and the divorce is still not final because of him being sent overseas and such. The problem I am now having, is the day he left and called to tell me he was married, he went to her, stayed with her, and slept with her. He told her of me that night only because his wife found my stuff in his truck after he fell asleep and then called me to find out who I was. After all of this, I am having a hard time forgiving him even though I love him. And over the last year, I feel like I can’t trust him. Did he love me or am I just the only one of the two who stayed around for him? -Doubting His Affection

First of all, I think you need to look at your situation clearly. What is your ideal definition of a loving relationship? For most, it means having an open and honest line of communication, an ability to undoubtedly trust each other, equal levels of affection and sharing the same goals and dreams in life. If you take an honest look at your situation you’ll find it clearly lacks in comparison to this ideal. Just because you’ve found someone who shows interest in you doesn’t mean they are actually good for you. If you doubt him, it is understandable. The lies he told you are pretty significant. Do you really want to see yourself in this type of relationship for the rest of your life? Do you want to raise children with a parent you don’t trust? Be honest with yourself and you’ll find the right answer to your problem.

Have you ever met someone and then had the nagging suspicion that they might have more than “friends” in mind? There aren’t always clear cut signs, but there are some not so obvious clues that people give…even when they aren’t aware of it. The next time you need help determining a potential partner’s interest level, use these seven tips as your guide.

1. Their pupils are enlarged when talking with you.
The human pupil dilates when someone is excited or is having strong feelings about something. You can gauge a lot about their interest by paying attention to their eye contact. We often reveal far more than we desire through our eyes.

2. They seem to share a lot of common interests.
If someone is engaging in activities that you like to do, or making an extra effort to be a part of them, chances are they’re doing it just to spend more time with you. Take notice of how often they are asking or desiring to do things with you. If it seems rather frequent, it’s a good sign they are in to you.

3. They want to spend time with you over weekends and holidays. With schedules the way they usually are for people, spending time on special days like weekends and especially holidays is a very clear sign that they are interested in something more than just hanging out together. All weekend invites are not only a great way to get to know someone on a deeper level, they are also a pretty open message that they want to see if this relationship has any potential.

4. They give you a pet name.
Pet names are usually reserved for someone you have a sweet spot for. If your potential interest has decided to call you by one, you’re in a pretty good position interest wise.

5. They send gifts without a reason.
This is probably the most obvious sign on this list. If they’ve sent you flowers or any small gift, they are trying to let you know you’ve gained their interest. Now the ball is in your court to signal that you want to take things a little further.

6. They do little things for you.
Do you find your potential interest going out of their way to do favors for you? Maybe they offer to run an errand or go grab something for you. You can especially tell if they are interested when you are within a group of friends. Are thet only doing the little favors for you?

7. They tell friends and family about you, or they introduce you to them. If they have talked about you to their friends and family, you can be assured you are on their dating radar. If they feel comfortable enough to introduce you to the family, you’re probably looking at a potential romance. With this sign you have to gauge each situation individually. If they have a really open relationship with their family, it may not mean anything special. However, if they are usually closed off with them, they are definitely ready for something more.

There are many different ways someone will show you they are interested. You really need to take the whole situation into perspective and be aware of which method they are choosing to communicate their interest

If you’re nervous, as most of us are, prepare for your first encounter just as you would when vying for a promotion at work. Practice ahead of time! Make up a little 3×5 flash card set with subjects you are comfortable talking about or questions that are conversation initiators (forget about the weather, that’s a dried up subject).

Here are a few you can use that are sure to spark some interest:

* Read or watch the news ahead of time and discuss current events. Stick to positive uplifting ones and stay away from politics and religion. Example: Recently in the news there was a story about an autistic boy whose lifetime dream was to play basketball. To be close to the sport he did all the dirty jobs for both the boys and girls teams at his school. The last game of the season he was allowed on the court and scored a slam dunk.

* Talk about your family (positively). Example: I have two brothers and one sister. Growing up we…

* Liven up the conversation with topics of any recent travels. Example: Recently I traveled to Washington State to see the Fish Market in Seattle. Talk about your experiences there and what you saw.

* Ask about their career and how they happened upon it. Example: What do you do for a living? What made you decide on that career path? Did you go to school for your career choice?

* Ask about their family (if they shy away, you need to also). Example: Do you have brothers or sisters? Does your family live close?

These are just a few topics. If you can’t think of any yourself pour over the Internet for resources on topics of conversation. While I gave you a few suggestions above, there are many more I am sure you can come up with.

In the dating world, it seems that everyone expects the love of their life to fall from a tree and knock them dizzy with bliss. The facts of the matter are hardly as hit-and-miss as our secret desires would like them to be. When someone has a spell of good luck, it’s rarely because of some undeserved, haphazard gift bestowed upon them. If you look back to the period prior to any favorable happenings, you’ll discover a lot of hard work and planning were most likely involved. There is truth in the belief that the effort you put into something will be equal to the result you receive. Where people usually go wrong with this formula is extending the wrong type of effort. The same is true for finding a life mate.

If you don’t discern what you want or expect from your life, you’re never going to get it. You wouldn’t expect a business person to start a new business without researching the field and discovering if it’s a suitable fit. Yet, people consistently dive into the dating pool without first making sure of what they want. The fact that someone shows a bit of interest does not mean they are a suitable match for you. In the end, it isn’t just strong affection or love that makes a relationship work. It’s how compatible you are and how you deal with the little day-to-day things that count. The only way to truly discover what you need from a relationship is to actually plan and research exactly what you want.

When you are ready to seriously begin your quest for finding your life mate, use the following steps to help you get started.

Step 1: Do Your Research No great plan or endeavor can really get off the ground without research. Applying this to your love life may seem strange, but it really only takes a new perspective to get things going. First, analyze your past relationships. What traits or qualities did you really like about your previous partners? Write them down. Then take a look at what aspects of their personalities or your relationship that you disliked. Write those down as well.

You’ll probably get a fairly clear idea of your ideal mate at this point. However, don’t just stop with looking into the past. You’ll get an even more complete picture if you take a look at the people around you who have influenced your overall concept of the ideal relationship. Your parents or other family members’ relationships will affect your opinions greatly. Do the same comparison of likes and dislikes for them. If there are other friends or role models, be sure to analyze those as well.

Step 2: Understand Your Desires
Truly knowing yourself allows you to understand all of your strengths and weaknesses. Once you’re comfortable with what those are, you can find ways to make them work for you. For instance, if you’d rather eat dirt than clean, you know you’ll always need a housekeeper. You also have some more insight on what traits your perfect partner needs to have, in this case a high tolerance for sloppiness. For some of you, the weakness may be an insecurity issue. In this case, while eventually you may get over it, you probably don’t want to get involved with a social butterfly. You’re going to be a lot happier with someone who is a little more reserved in public. Some traits or qualities wouldn’t be considered deal breakers, while others are must haves. Each person is different, so these qualifiers will be unique to each individual. Your job is to figure out the must-have characteristics of your ideal partner.

First, define what you want and need. You did most of this in step one. Now it’s time to expand on your discoveries and get a complete picture of your ideal relationship. Make sure to include small snippets of things you’ve always envisioned doing. For instance, do you imagine someone who enjoys cuddling on the couch while watching scary movies with the snow falling outside? Whatever it is, make sure to write it down so you can refer back to it and make changes as necessary.

Next, you need to determine what certain terminology actually means to you. You won’t be able to express what you expect from a partner if you don’t even know what it is yourself. Take a while and really figure out what exactly does love mean to you. What is your idea of “romance”? What are your views regarding sex? What does marriage mean to you? What about commitment?

Now it’s time to look at what specific requirements you’d like your potential life partner to have. How important is education? What about their level of independence or financial stability? What stage in their career should they be at? What about religious beliefs? Is having a different romantic style a deal breaker?

By knowing ahead of time exactly what it is you’re looking for, you’ll be able to tell early in a relationship if the person you are with matches your criteria. This will allow you to end bad relationships before anything progresses too far. In addition, you’ll be able to move ahead with more confidence when you do find that particular someone who meets your expectations.

Step 3: Put Your Discoveries into Practice
So, you now know what you want, but how do you go about actually getting it? Since there are shelves of books dedicated to this pursuit, I’m just going to give you a few pointers to steer you in the right direction.

The first tip should be fairly obvious, but it’s amazing how often it’s over-looked. You’ve just dedicated all this time to figuring out what makes you tick, so it’s time to use it to your advantage. If you’re looking for someone to date, don’t go to a place you’re not likely to meet anyone with those qualifications. Try to find the best possible places where the odds of meeting someone with your particular interests are higher. If you love to cook, join some cooking classes. If you love to read, join a book club. If you love dancing, take some dance lessons. A little research into what your city offers could pay off quite nicely. When you talk with someone you are interested in, try bringing up the hobbies and interests you enjoy. Get a gauge early on as to whether you actually have things in common. This is also a great conversational segue to asking for an actual date.

When you go on your dates, do things that reflect how you want your marriage or long-term relationship to be. For instance, if you enjoy shopping, take your date on a few trips to the mall. If you love the outdoors, let your dates reflect that. Not only will you be finding out if you both enjoy the same things, you’ll also be giving your potential partner a better glimpse at who you really are. Even if things don’t work out romantically, if you discover you share common interests, you’ve at least gained a friendship.

For those who have never done it, a French Kiss can be intimidating!

Just the idea of touching your tongue to someone else’s tongue may seem gross. If this is the case, then it’s likely you’re not ready to try it.

The most important thing about French kissing, or any type of kissing or contact with someone else, is that YOU feel ready to enjoy it.

There’s nothing worse than being pressured into kissing. If it’s forced you’re not going to enjoy it - so don’t do it.

if you’ve kissed someone on the lips before, the French Kiss is actually not that dramatically different from a normal kiss. During a regular mouth kiss, your lips should already be slightly parted and relaxed.

Now, it’s just a matter of bringing your tongue to the front of your mouth, until it touches your partner’s tongue or lips. If their tongue is not already in position, the sensation of your tongue at their lips is a tell-tale sign that you’re ready for this kiss to become a FRENCH kiss.

If your partner is also ready with lips slightly parted, you can give the universal French Kiss signal by opening your mouth a little further and darting your tongue out just a bit.

If your partner responds by opening their lips further and/or you feel their tongue against yours, great. However, this is still not an invitation to force your tongue deep into your partner’s mouth or begin sucking or licking away like a kid on a dime store lollipop.

Like regular kissing, French kissing is done best when it starts off slowly.

As your partner responds, things can become a little more passionate and involved. If you are both enjoying it, you can always begin to move your tongue slightly, caressing their tongue with it or running your tongue over your partner’s lips.

Much like kissing, French kissing works out best when both people involved use a similar technique. Relaxed lips and tongue, moist but not sloppy, passionate at the appropriate time but not overly forceful.

Done correctly and with a partner you feel a romantic connection with, French kissing can be a very enjoyable experience.

But, perhaps the most important thing to remember is that kissing is, and always will be, an art, and not a science. There is no exact way that anyone can tell you how to French kiss.

The guidelines here are just that - tips to help you along the way. You will probably kiss each person that you become romantically involved with a slightly different way, depending upon how they kiss and a multitude of other factors. Remember these tips, and ‘the moment’ will be that much easier!

AND FINALLY, THE NUMBER ONE RULE:
1. Don’t rub the lamp if you don’t want the genie to come out.

A romantic date does not always have to mean going out somewhere. Sometimes, it is nice to just have a romantic night at home together. Not only can a couple relax in a familiar setting; they don’t have to worry about how to get home after a few drinks. There are several ways to make staying at home together into a romantic date.

Romantic Date at HomeFirst, you need to consider the small things, which transform a home into a very romantic setting. Creating a romantic atmosphere involves getting a few choice items such as flowers, scented candles, glass beads or stones, chocolates, music, good food and wine. When these things are all in place, romance will fill the air.

It is always a good idea to start by cleaning the house or apartment somewhat, as nobody likes a mess. Next, take the flowers and place them in the center of the table, along with some nice dinner candles. If you don’t have candleholders, use empty wine bottles. When the wax melts and runs down the bottle it looks very artistic and romantic. If you were able to get extra flowers, place them in vases in various places throughout the house. If you don’t have vases, you can use empty wine bottles again or empty jars without labels on them. To make the flowers more creative looking, you can add food coloring to the water or place some glass beads or stones in the bottom of each jar or vase.

Set your table for two, complete with wineglasses, napkins. Make the table look very romantic and inviting. Select an assortment of music for the evening. If you have a CD player that loads 5-6 CDs, load the music in advance and select shuffle mode. This way the music is looked after for the evening and you will not have to keep getting up to change the music. Try to keep the volume of the music at a level that will be heard and yet not interfere with your conversation.

If you are having appetizers, try to prepare them in advance so that you can enjoy the evening more. If the appetizers are ready to put in the oven or onto the grill, the evening commences much smoother. It is nice to have a drink together while enjoying the appetizers and talking with soft music playing. Also, it is good to have a scented pillar candle or two to place on the coffee table and in the bathroom as it just adds to the atmosphere.

When the time comes to prepare the main course, you may either have all the ingredients to make something together from scratch or you may decide to have some Chinese take out brought in. Finally in regard to dessert, you may want to either have a homemade dessert made the night before or have bought something nice from a local bakery like a cheesecake for instance. Women generally love desserts, so try to remember to have a good dessert handy for sure! Have fun with the whip cream when putting the dessert on the plates. Swirls of chocolate syrup over the dessert with whip cream can be the best!

After dinner, perhaps the two of you can go to the living room and enjoy an after dinner drink or some tea or coffee with a few chocolates. From here the evening could progress in various directions. You could either watch a rental movie together or maybe enjoy romance in the bedroom. If it looks like you are both going to be in the bedroom… it would be romantic to have some flower petals leading to the night of romance.

There are several romantic places where couples can go to spend some quality time together. Where a couple goes together depends on their interests and the type of people they are. Some people are outdoors types, while others would rather be inside somewhere, enjoying a glass of wine.

Romantic Places For the couple who like being outdoors, there are endless places to go and enjoy nature. Beaches have always been a romantic place for couples to go for a walk or a picnic. There is something very romantic about being near the water and watching the waves. Just the sound of the beach puts a person in a romantic mood. The sound of the water and birds and maybe even a foghorn in the distance if it is a foggy day, is very sensual. Keep in mind some of the most romantic walks couples can have are on beaches on a cloudy day. The sun does not have to be shining to spend a romantic day at the beach. Dress yourselves warm and start a bonfire on the beach if you can. Roast some hotdogs and marshmallows and enjoy a drink together while listening to the crackling bonfire. Share a warm hug together.

Another very romantic place to go is to a cottage in the country somewhere. If this cottage is near the water, that is even better! There is nothing like a weekend excursion to a cottage with your loved one. Pack your things, plan a menu and jump in the car and go! If the cottage has a fireplace, it is one of the most romantic features for sure. To sit by the fire and have a glass of wine and listen to soft music is extremely romantic. Don’t forget to bring your favorite chips and dip too! Snacks are good to munch on while laughing together into the night. Just watching the hot flames of the fireplace flickering in the darkness ignites passion for a couple in love.

Picnics in a park or in the woods are nice too. Being amongst the trees and flowers in the woods is very romantic. Hearing the birds chirping and having the warm sunshine down on you as you walk through the woods together enhances love somehow. There is a certain peace a couple gets by being in nature together. Being in the woods feels so natural and brings out a sort of primitive romance that can be very sexy!

Another romantic place where a couple can go is out on a boat together. Either going out on a sailboat or speedboat is very romantic. There is something that being out on the water together, away from the land that is exciting and fun. In a speedboat the wind blows through your hair and there is a certain feeling of freedom that you feel with the one you love.

There is a certain art to being romantic. Romance requires a person to be attentive to the details of love. Romance is about creating atmosphere, mood, feelings, thoughts and actions in a passionate way.

Art of Romance A romantic atmosphere is created with candles, soft music, flowers, and fragrances.

A combination of romantic items set the mood for love and passion. Wine, chocolates and a variety of finger foods all add to creating a mood for love and romance. If the atmosphere is right, romantic will follow.

When selecting candles, you may consider vanilla, as it is a scent, which appeals to most people and awakens the passionate senses. A variety of music is romantic in nature, especially classical and instrumental nature CDs. There is nothing like the sounds of nature to inspire primitive passion. The sounds of water in a brook, songbirds, crickets and other wildlife inspire and nurture love.

The wine you select can really add to the romance too. Often a good quality red wine from Australia, Italy or France is a good choice. After picking out a good bottle of wine, you should set up a nice table with wineglasses and a candle in the center. Try putting some glitter on the tablecloth as it can really add some festiveness to the evening of romance.

Also the flowers you pick out can bring passion to the evening. Roses are often the best choice of flowers as they express romance. Red roses are very popular as they have such a beautiful fragrance and represent love and passion. If you get red roses, long stem roses are the most beautiful. If you have some loose rose petals, you may want to place them on the floor or table.

Chocolate is an aphrodisiac and is certainly a must for a romantic evening. Truffles are the best, as they are so creamy and decadent. When selecting the type of chocolate, dark chocolate is the best for its aphrodisiac qualities.

Also, if you have an indoor serenity pond, it can create a very relaxing and romantic sound in the background. There is something very soothing about hearing water trickle over rocks. The sounds of nature are very romantic and set a beautiful mood for the evening. If it is a warm summer night, you may want to open the window a little bit to let a gentle breeze blow into the room. All these things create a mood and atmosphere for romance.

Embrace the art of romance. Be creative and express love in many ways to your loved one. Create an atmosphere that invites love and romance into your life. Let candles be the light as you drink a glass of wine with the one you love. Look at each other in the soft light and listen to the gentle music combined with the sounds of nature as the warm summer breeze comes in. Let love dance in the room as the candle flickers softly. Embrace love with all your passion!

What is a romantic moment? Is it a gesture? A gift? A thought? Passion? Yes, to all of the above. By learning the desires and needs of your partner you can understand what is romantic to them. The key to this is open and honest communication.

Touch Kiss Smile It matters not whether you are male or female; both sexes have a desire to feel special. Women want their men to listen to them and to take them seriously. Men want to feel that their interests are shared. Isn’t it important then to help each other and the relationship grow by sharing these things with each other? You need to take time together every week to talk about these things and learn about each other.

Discover your loved one’s interests, share them, and make them special by making each occasion unique. For example if your partner likes to dance, plan a special evening. Go the extra distance by making it a unique experience; a moonlight dance followed by a much wanted gift. Even if you have a romantic meal at a restaurant, each event should be a different occasion in itself.

Explore each other’s desires. Would he like an all over body massage? Would she like a bubble bath and rose petals on the bed? Make love until dawn and the stars turn to dust. Learning about each other should never end, even after years of marriage people change, there are always new adventures to be had.

Live each other’s dreams together. Find out what your partner’s dreams are. Help them to grow, to achieve these goals. Each of you write down five things that you dream about and exchange your lists. Talk about.

Does a romantic moment need to cost money? No, absolutely not. A touch to the side of the face, holding hands, a smile, a gentle kiss, a flower from the garden-none of these cost a dime, but mean the world to someone you love.

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more
painful is to love someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you’ve ever had.

4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s
also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime
to forget someone.

6. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that
fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you
were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

Love is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts,
but love’s only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.

1. Be sure that his attention is what you want. Don’t try to get a guy to look your way just because you want attention and you want to feel good about yourself. You don’t want to lead someone on. You could end up in a very awkward or uncomfortable situation–see the Warnings below.
2. Be yourself. Everyone probably says this, but it’s true! No guy wants a girl to pretend she is something she’s not. Any guy who wants a fake kind of girl is not a guy whose attention is worth having. Resist the temptation to put on a show or to do anything that just isn’t you just to get his attention.
3. Get a new look. Don’t change who you are, just try something different. Try a new hairstyle, new clothes, etc. It’s a good idea to change things up once in a while, just because variety’s the spice of life, and it might help you catch his eye. Try being that tough girl who is different from all the other okay looking girls giving him the eyes, because beauty is common, but a good outlook and a great energy are very rare.
4. Smile and make eye contact. Whether closed-mouth or open-mouth, do it. Unless it really makes you feel artificial, learn how to shoot people a reassuring smile, letting them know that you’re a happy and confident person who wants to enjoy life. The idea is to communicate that you’re inviting their company.
5. Flirt. Do it as little or as much as you want, but remember that too much flirting (especially with other guys) will likely get him to take notice, but perhaps not in a good way. If he reacts and you don’t think its real (he’s just doing it because you’re there and you’re a girl and he thinks he can do better, let him know he can’t). If he is faking it, call his bluff and say something that makes him know you don’t think he is ‘all that’. For example, if he comes close, pull a face and offer him gum. This will unbalance his ego.
6. Try to be around him often. Such as sitting near him. Take interest in the activities he’s interested in, not just so that you can get near him but also so that you can get to know him better and so you can broaden your own horizons. (But never pretend to love something you don’t even like just because he likes it! Although most guys find this cute, when and if they ever find out, it can be painful for you, and usually unnecessary.)
7. Talk to him. Try to get to know him a little by discussing things you have in common. A good way to start a conversation is to ask him a question. Listen to him and don’t interrupt him when he is talking. You could even compliment him or ask for help. A good opener is spray two different perfumes on each wrist, then go up to him and ask him his favorite. This should get him to talk to you. Also be friendly to his friends to help him feel more comfortable around you. Some guys don’t notice girls unless they talk to the guy.

1. Be assertive. You are the girl. You have the power. A lot of guys are shy and awkward around girls they like, so don’t hold back. Do what you want to do. Boys like a powerful girl. Be decisive. Tell him what you want him to do, etc.–just don’t get too bossy!
2. Make him feel special. There’s got to be a reason that you want him to notice you, and that’s because you noticed him first. Let him know–subtly–that you’re interested in who he is, and that you sincerely want to get to know him better.
3. Be brave. Stand up for who you are, and what you believe in. Ultimately, this will catch the attention and respect of someone who is going to work well for you, even if it turns out not to be this guy.
4. Don’t be a slob! It’s a real turn-off for a guy when he notices a girl hasn’t brushed her hair or wears the same outfit every other day. Clothes, makeup, and jewelry are the typical items many guys expect girls to wear. Even if you don’t fall within the typical expectations, just looking presentable is always desirable–irrespective of who is the guy or girl.
5. When you have come familiar perhaps you could touch his arm or as I’ve found very handy just when you are walking hold your hand slightly away from your body so he could hold it. Also you can lean toward him when your sitting next to him, but not too close. You could also use his shoulder as an armrest (but whatever you do don’t lean on it!!!) or place your hand upon his shoulder very gently.
6. Try to be his friend, find out about him (but not too much)and try to understand his personality!
