7 Things Your Partner Will Never Tell You But You Need to Know

7 Things Your Partner Will Never Tell You But You Need to Know

I recently talked to some of my male best friends and I found out that there are quite a few things your partner will never tell you, but things you’ll need to know in order to understand him better. Sometimes men actually are less complicated that you give them credit for and that’s why your relationship will get stronger and stronger once you’ll find out what are those things your partner will never tell you.

1. MEN ARE SENSITIVE TOO

I know that this must be the most shocking of the things your partner will never tell you, but it’s in fact very true. Underneath that rough and manly exterior, every man has a sensitive side - he just doesn’t like to show it that much. So, be careful next time you say something mean and you wanna hurt him because you might just succeed and your words will leave some pretty ugly scars on the sensitive side of his personality.

2. HE NEEDS HIS SPACE

Another quite fascinating thing I recently learned about men is that just like you, they feel the need to have their space too. Everyone needs some time to spend with themselves in order to reconnect with their old self, to analyze their thoughts, feelings and actions. You must learn that this doesn’t have anything to do with you, doesn’t mean you have problems or that he finds you extremely boring. Just give him some space and respect his privacy, that’s all.

3. HE COMPARES HIMSELF WITH YOUR EX

I know most men say they don’t really care about the other men in your past. Well, that’s actually not that true. It was hard for me to squeeze out this confession but I finally succeeded, and my male friends did recognize that every now and then, they tend to compare themselves with their girlfriends’ exes and they’re wondering if they are better lovers or better boyfriends than the other men in their girlfriends' past.

4. SOMETIMES HE’S NOT THAT SURE OF HIMSELF

Even if sometimes most men seem very sure of themselves, of their actions and feelings and they say they never regret a thing, that’s not always quite true. In fact, a lot of guys can put together a whole list of personal complaints regarding their physical appearance, their job, their hobbies or even their relationships. Just pay attention to what he’s saying, especially when he’s joking or when he’s not being serious and you’ll find out what are the things that scare him the most.

5. HE LIKES TO LOOK AT HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR

I know most men will deny it and it was quite a surprise for me too, to find out that according to my male friends, most men love to look at themselves in the mirror. Even though they will not admit it, most men want to look good and they love to admire themselves in order to see the results of their hard work. Maybe not as much as you, but still

6. I LOVE YOU MORE NOW

When asked, most men do recognize that they love their girlfriends or wives more now than they did when they first met them. Maybe it’s because he got to know you better, and he realized you are more than just a pretty face and fabulous body. I think this is by far my favorite thing most men never tell to their loved ones because it is so, so romantic. Apparently, what I thought about them is not true and men are not that superficial after all.

7. ROLE REVERSAL

I know that your partner will never tell you but, most men admit that once in a while they would like you to take on their role (imposed by the society) and take the initiative when it comes to your relationship. They would like to be taken out on a surprise date you planned for the two of you; they would appreciate if you would buy them a drink or even pamper them. They would like to see some effort on your behalf too because after all, they shouldn’t be the ones who do all the work when it comes to your relationship just because the society says it should be that way.

Sometimes men are put under a lot of pressure by society, and that’s why they often feel the need to hide certain things in order to keep their image as Alfa males intact. Did you know that there are things most men never say to anyone? Do you know any other things most men hide from their partners? Please share your opinion in the comments section!

There are props guys use to attract girls, even though they don't realize it. They're not trying to impress you, but they make you swoon anyway. By pulling at our heart strings or striking our interest, a man can make us want him. Without knowing it, there are props guys use to attract girls.

1. Babies

One of the props guys use to attract girls are their cousins or nephews (if you can even call a fellow human a prop). Remember the time Chandler and Joey cared for a baby and were swamped with women? Since we find children adorable, we tend to like whoever's taking care of them. If you see a cute guy that seems like he would make a good father, you might gain interest. So why would a guy say no to babysitting?

2. Animals

Puppies work in the same way that babies do, if not more so. If you're an animal lover, it'll be hard to walk past a doggie without stopping to pet it. By giving the dog your affection, you're also giving his owner some attention. It's the perfect way for him to start up a conversation with you. If he can't think of anything clever to talk about, he can at least tell you all about his canine companion.

3. Books

If you see a guy reading a book by your favorite author, you can instantly be interested in him. It means that you have the same taste. It means that you'll have tons to talk about. It means that he's the perfect one for you. Well, maybe not, but it does indicate that you have something in common. Don't waste the opportunity to talk to him about the story.

4. Shirts

If you spot a guy wearing a shirt that references your favorite band, it makes him ten times sexier. If he has good music taste, then he'd be fun to talk to. You can discuss your favorite songs and albums and any concerts you went to. Why let a guy like that pass you by? You might as well tell him how big of a fan you are yourself.

5. Laptops

You could be sitting behind a guy in class and see that he's on your favorite website. Or maybe he's downloading the latest episode of your favorite TV show. Either way, you know that he's someone that you wouldn't mind spending time with. If you decide to talk to him, make sure that it's while he has something interesting on his screen. You don't want to bring the topic up later and let him know you were watching every click of the mouse.

6. Pieces of Paper

If you're a writer and see a cute guy scribbling in his notebook or are an artist and see someone drawing, it can be beyond attractive. When you have the same creative talent, you share a bond. You both express your emotions in the same way and can potentially have a lot of deep conversations. You can talk about the process you go through and swap your work. What could be better than sharing your passion with a hot guy?

 

7. Tattoos

This one depends on your personal taste. If you're not a fan of tattoos, you won't care for guys who have them. But if you're a sucker for tattoos, it won't matter what his ink depicts. The fact that he has his entire arm covered is enough to get you drooling. If the tattoo is of something sentimental, it'll make him even more attractive.
Guys do attractive things all the time without even realizing it. Have any of these things ever sparked your attraction for a guy? Did you end up becoming friends--or maybe more?

7 Enchantingly Useful Tips on How to Wear a Maxi Dress in Fall …

7 Enchantingly Useful Tips on How to Wear a Maxi Dress in Fall …

How to wear a maxi dress in fall… in other words, why pack away your cute summer maxis just because summer’s done? I have loads of ideas on cute ways to layer your maxi dresses for cooler weather, so keep reading! Here are 7 tips on how to wear maxi dresses in the fall.

1. With a cardi

I know this sounds obvious, but the easiest way to convert a summer maxi into a fall outfit would be to add a cute cardigan. Choose from cropped, drapey, fitted, or long, depending on which looks best with the particular maxi dress. This is the easiest way to go from chilly to cozy in a maxi dress!

2. With a thermal underneath

I have a super-cute tank-style maxi dress from summer that I love wearing in the fall with a floral-print thermal underneath. Get creative! You don’t have to opt for a thermal that matches the maxi, just one that compliments it!

3. With a blazer

I have an empire-waist maxi with a tiny floral print that looks smashing with my cropped, fitted velvet blazer… I know it sounds odd, but it looks darling! Try your blazers or denim jackets with your maxis… you might be surprised at how cute they look together!

4. With a pair of leggings

Skinny girls like me can tell you that layering is key to dressing in winter, whether you’re wondering how to wear a maxi or not. Add a pair of leggings underneath your maxi dress, and suddenly your favorite summer dress can now be worn all fall long… and maybe into winter, too!

5. With boots

I love the way some of my summer maxi dresses look with boots — ankle boots, riding boots, even hiking boots. Try them together in different combinations until you find the maxi-boot look that works best for you!

6. With patterned tights

I also adore the way maxi dresses look with patterned tights. I know you can only see a tiny bit of tights at the ankle when you’re wearing a maxi, but if the maxi is solid, and the tights are a loud print, this could be such a fun way to wear a maxi dress!

7. With a cropped pull-over sweater

I have a very fitted maxi dress that I love wearing with a cropped pull-over sweater. It’s very chic, and somewhat unexpected — and a lot warmer than wearing a skirt and sweater, for the extra layer of the maxi dress on top.

8. All together now!

Want to have even more fun (and coziness) wearing a maxi dress this fall? Combine these tips and wear a few of these layers together! Try a blazer and boots, or a cropped cardi and patterned tights. The possibilities are endless, stylish and warm! Which of these tips dot you use when wearing your maxi dresses into fall? Please share!

KRISTEN STEWART GETS EDGY FOR VOGUE ITALIA…

KRISTEN STEWART GETS EDGY FOR VOGUE ITALIA…

Is it just me or is Kristen Stewart everywhere these days?! This time, we’re talking about her photoshoot for Vogue Italia which could not have been better timed considering Breaking Dawn is just around the corner…

Shot by Michelangelo de Battista, Kristen Stewart looks sexier and edgier than her usual self. In fact, if there ever was a high fashion vampire, this is what she would look like. I love the chaotic hair and the dark makeup and don’t even get me started on the fabulous clothes which include the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen,Giambattista Valli,Giorgio Armani and Chanel. Kristen, you lucky, lucky girl!

Overall, it’s a fantastic transformation but at the same time it’s a look that I can relate Kristen Stewart with, know what I mean?  The only thing I wish for is different expressions on her face. Speaking of which, here’s what she had to say about the kind of actress she is: “I’m not one of those actresses that maniacally prepare themselves for a role. On set, I do whatever I need to do, but day after the day. If I have to improvise, I improvise, if I have to learn my lines by heart, I do it. There are certain screenplays which are so beautiful, that they only need to be repeated as they are, without any changes. I live in the moment.”

Well said! So what did you think of Kristen Stewart for Vogue Italia? Amazing or meh?

7 Ways To Be A Good Girlfriend

7 Ways To Be A Good Girlfriend

So many Ways To Be a Good Girlfriend and yet, so many guys are constantly complaining about their better halves and their irrational behaviors… Are we the ones to blame or our man are getting a bit spoiled? Let’s see! Dating experts have given us many tips and mentioned many ways to be a good girlfriend and, surprise, surprise, the guys couldn’t agree more! So take a look at these 7 ways to be a good girlfriend and find out whether your man has any reason to be even a tiniest bit unhappy:

1. Stop Nagging

Most men agree their relationships would me much better if their women suppressed the need to nag once in a while. Okay, yes, they sure deserve it sometimes but, nagging for the sake of nagging won’t really get you anywhere. In fact, continuous nagging most certainly isn’t one of the ways to be a good girlfriend. Cruela Deville or Peggy Bundy, maybe, but a good girlfriend definitely no.

2. Trust Him

Nobody wants to date Sherlock Holmes and if you give it some thought, you will understand that there is no need to turn into a famous detective… at least not BEFORE a crime is committed. Going through his pockets, personal items, calling him just to check if he is really where he said he’d be – that sort of behavior certainly has “insecurity” and “doubt” written all over it and, guess what? Men don’t respond all too well to it. They are like those rubber colorful bouncy balls – if you throw it too hard, it’s going to bounce so fast and you probably won’t be able to catch it! Trust him, forget all your fool proof interrogation methods and you’ll see – he will start talking and you’ll get to know EVERYTHING he did during the day.

3. Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

Men know that our “No” could be a “Hell No”, “Maybe”, “Yes, but I’m playing hard to get” or pretty much anything in between and that’s driving them nuts. And don’t even get me started on that famous “Nothing” and all of its meanings! Men don’t really like to play these games – most of them will be perfectly willing to accept your original answer without further questions and you know that always causes an argument. The solution? Honesty! That’s definitely one of the ways to be a good girlfriend and, believe me, he will appreciate having a girl that CAN speak her mind. In fact, every time his friends start discussing this issue, he’ll just smile and say, “Sorry, pal, don’t know whatcha talking about”.

4. Give Him Some Space

You have your interests, your needs, your friends and so does he, plus you might even have completely different schedules which, logically, means your free time doesn’t necessarily have to be his free time as well. So, if he’s being fair and letting you have an undisturbed chat with your friends/yoga class/whatever, you should do the same. One of the great ways to be a good girlfriend is to find a perfect balance between sharing and getting to know each other much better and sticking your nose into the most private things he’s still not ready to share. Don’t be pushy, take it slow and let him open up in his own pace. It’s actually a much better and a much more interesting strategy for both of you because it makes things fun and gives you something to talk about every time you’re together so, as I see it, there is really no good reason to push things.

5. Don’t Try To Change Him

You can’t take a beast and turn it into a prince, I think we’ve already figured that out. I mean come on, he’s not a science project! In fact, let’s try to observe things from a different perspective – how would you feel if he wanted to change everything about you? Men do change when they finally meet the women they want to spend their life with (just like women change when they meet the right man) but they don’t become entirely different people – it’s just a process of growing up.

6. Be Romantic but Not Pathetic

Knowing how to show how much you care is great but knowing when it’s a good time to stop is even better! And, believe me, I totally agree with that! In fact, I hate it when couples start acting like Siamese twins! If your guy is not very comfortable with this (which is something I could totally understand), you’ll actually achieve more by not calling him every half an hour, being extra lovey-dovey in front of his friends or trying to show him how much you care for him every minute of every single day. Save your words and gestures for times when they will really matter because using them too often will make them lose their charm.

7. Compliment Him

We’re used to getting a lot of compliments and we’ll probably get mad if he forgets to tell us how beautiful we are or fails to notice a new dress. But what about our men? Don’t they deserve to know how highly we think of them? Well, those honest compliments or, let’s call them, rational observations are one of the ways to be a good girlfriend. Yes, I know you wouldn’t be with him if he wasn’t so smart, funny, interesting, charming and, of course, good looking but – does he know all that? I really think men deserve just as many compliments as women and I believe knowing exactly how we feel about them makes them more comfortable, confident and less jealous, of course.
Now, in case you’ve carefully read all these ways to be a good girlfriend only to realize you don’t really need to change anything, congrats, your man is certainly one lucky guy and I really hope he’s doing everything to be a good boyfriend as well. As for the others, who did manage to find things that could use some improvement, tell me – which one of these ways to be a good girlfriend made you understand you

9 Ways to Start Losing Weight at Work …

9 Ways to Start Losing Weight at Work …

Lose weight at work — doesn’t that sounds like the ultimate in multi-tasking? I think so, and it can really happen, too! If you know what to do, you can kick-start your weight loss journey, or just cut a few extra calories to help out, just by doing a few small things — and none of them involves wearing a sweatband. Here are 9 ways to start losing weight at work. Get ready!

1. Park a little further away, or walk!

If you can possibly swing it, walk to work. If you can’t do that, then at least park a little further away to maximize your calorie-burning, keep your blood flowing and your mind focused, and even keep your metabolism rocking! I used to drive around looking for a close spot, but now I just head straight for the back of the parking lot and walk the quarter-mile in. It’s invigorating!

2. Start a club

Surely you’re not the only office drone who wants to lose weight at work. Why not start a club, then? Encourage each other, share ideas, track your progress together, maybe even plan healthful, low-cal pot-lucks together.

3. Bring your lunch

Let’s talk about food some more. Did you know that if you bring your own lunch from home, you’re far likelier to make more healthful food choices, spend less, and eat smaller, more healthful portions? Brown-bagging your lunch is one of the best ways to lose weight at work.

4. Lobby for a gym

At-work gyms aren’t just for high-level execs anymore. Why not lobby your superiors for an elliptical or two at work? Here’s the angle: workers with healthier weights are less likely to miss work, which saves the company money in the long run.

5. Be aware

Before you grab a snack out of the vending machine, or indulge in a double-whip mocha latte from the coffee shop in the lobby, think about what you’re doing: adding unnecessary, empty calories to your work-day diet. Be aware of the choices you make at work, just like you do at home, and you’ll lose weight at work, too!

6. Take the stairs

Just like parking further away and walking to your office will help you lose weight at work, so will taking the stairs instead of the elevator. It will also get your heart thumping! Not convinced? I used to work on the 35th floor of my building. Even if I got off the elevator half-way up, I still got in a good cardio mini-workout… whew!

7. Walk around!

Rather than using the printer by your work area, choose another one a little distance away. This will encourage you to get up and walk a little more… again, burning more sneaky little calories away! You also might run into that hottie in the Accounting department a little more often… hmm…

8. Skip the soda

Did you know that just one serving of regular soda contains more than 100 calories? If you drink soda at work, you may want to consider wither skipping it altogether, or at least switching to a low-cal or no-cal version. Those calories add up! If you have two servings (on bottle) of soda every day for a year, that’s 73,000 calories. Holy moly!

9. Ban donuts

If you’re considering skipping the soda, why not ban donuts in the office while you’re at it? Sure, bagels and muffins are just as diet-wrecking, but this one tiny ban may start a trend of healthful pot-lucking that’s sure to help you, and your co-workers, lose weight at work.
See? There are loads of easy ways to lose weight at work, and not one of them involves wearing tennis shoes with your pencil skirt or chasing the IT guys around, asking them to fix your computer. Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be on your way to being… less of you… in no time! Which of these work-place weight loss tips do you like best? Or do you have another tip to share?

Goodbye October, Hello November …

Goodbye October, Hello November …

So it’s like this.  It’s probably no surprise that one of the most popular topics today is Kim Kardashian’s divorce.  Most people are not at all surprised that her marriage to Kris Humphries only lasted 72 days, but although I was once willing to hedge bets on how short lived it would be, even I can’t go there right now.  That’s sad, and I imagine it’s worse to have the whole thing play out on TV.  So instead, let’s focus on an altogether more upbeat, less Mean Girls topic: goodbye October, hello November!October is my favorite month of the whole year, and even though it betrayed me toward the end with a massive horrible storm that knocked down trees and basketball hoops all over my neighborhood, I’m still going to miss it terribly.  November promises to bring in lots of great things, too: time with my family and my in-laws, way too much food for any single person to eat, and lots of fun stressing about having enough money for presents, buying presents, and hoping to have enough money left over after buying presents.

There are a lot of special events and activities in November.  In addition to Thanksgiving, the month celebrates awareness for such things as COPD, Pancreatic Cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes, Homeless Youth, Breast Cancer, and Crohn’s Disease.  It’s National Novel Writing Month — NaNoWriMo — and Native American Heritage Month.  It’s even classified as International Drum Month!  It ushers in the beginning of winter and the true holiday season.  It’s a month of celebration for many reasons.
So, let’s celebrate instead of focusing on the bad things, even if they aren’t happening to us.  Why was October special for you?  What are you looking forward to in November?  Will you be participating in any of the aforementioned activities?

7 Top USA Foods …

7 Top USA Foods …

There are various USA foods that are known around the world – the humble burger and fries with hot wings being a typical American meal in the eyes of many. There are so many foods from the United States that are enjoyed all over the fifty states and beyond into the wider world. For many of them however, no matter how tasty they are, Americans really shouldn’t be proud to claim them as their own. Once you see the list you might well understand why such a huge number of Americans are overweight and obesity a national issue. Read on for my list of the 7 Top USA Foods that only America could have created.

1. Corn Dogs

Although rarely found outside of America, one of the most common USA foods is the corn dog. Having been popularized by a Texas State Fair in 1942, the corn dog has become symbolic of American fast food: on a stick, easy to eat, fried and tasty. Whether you are tucking into a corn dog at your local fair or making them for a kid’s party, you can be comforted knowing that they could only have been invented in the United States.

2. Philly Cheesesteak

Does the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich manage to incorporate everything that is good with the world: steak, cheese, bread and onions? The meat inside a Cheesesteak isn’t always the best (in fact many residents of Philadelphia say that it should be the cheapest cut of steak you can lay your hands on) but it’s certainly a tasty way to enjoy a sandwich.

3. Buffalo Wings

Another of the classic USA foods that has been popularized around the world, some would say Buffalo wings are the only way to truly enjoy chicken. From mild to flaming hot, many people just love to chow down on those feisty little wings invented in, yep, Buffalo.

4. Turducken

Take a turkey. Put a duck inside that. Inside the duck, put a chicken. Simple, tasty, lovely. If you really want to put an American twist on the Turducken, try and add in some melted cheese and bacon – hey, you could even deep fry something and add it in there. Americans may claim the Turducken as a US food but in fact chefs of England’s King Henry VIII were stuffing a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird way back the 16th century –yes you read it right – 8 birds stuffed whole inside each other – starting with a tiny quail and ending with a huge swan,

5. Baked Alaska

There’s nothing like naming foods after the place they are conceived to put a stamp on them, although, having a day named after the food comes a pretty close second. The Baked Alaska was first served in Delmonico’s to celebrate the acquisition of the territory from Russia in 1876 and every February 1st is Baked Alaska Day in the USA.

6. Reuben Sandwich

We all love our meat. We all love bread. That’s what makes the Reuben sandwich so brilliant – pastrami, cheese, Russian dressing, sauerkraut piles high on rye bread. If you are a lover of spiced meat, this is the sandwich for you; you might find more meat in a typical Reuben sandwich than on a table at Thanksgiving! Purists say a Reuben should be served with a large pile and a pile of potato chips.

7. Cookie Dough Ice Cream

If I had to choose one word to describe cookie dough ice cream it would have to be ‘heavenly’. So, Americans may not have invented ice cream but there’s a whole slew of flavors that can be determined to be USA foods. Whether it’s homemade or the good old Ben & Jerry’s, you can’t beat luxurious vanilla ice cream laced with chunks of cookie dough and chocolate. Cookie dough ice cream has to be the ultimate American food, topping off my list of the best USA foods.
If there’s one thing that you will have learnt from reading this list, it’s that there are certain foods that only Americans could have made – they are the ultimate USA foods that are enjoyed all over the world today. And yes, eaten in quantity they won’t do anyone much good but as an occasional treat they can be a guilty pleasure. What’s your favorite from this list of 7 Top USA Foods?

8 Indisputable Signs He’s Not Over Her …

8 Indisputable Signs He’s Not Over Her …

He’s Not Over Her – do you know how to tell? Believe it or not, when I was with my last boyfriend, we played the ‘he’s not over her’ game quite a bit, but I picked up on the signs. If you are thinking that your boyfriend might not be over his ex, you should check out the top 8 signs he’s not over her yet!

1. Constantly Talks about Her

It’s pretty normal for a guy to talk about his ex to his current girlfriend – however, not excessively. It’s not normal for the guy to keep bringing up the girl that got away to the girl that’s still by his side. This is absolutely and totally the first he’s not over her sign that you should watch out for. Just pay attention to how much he talks about her, how much he brings her up in daily conversations – if it’s a ton, you know he’s not over her yet.

2. Keeps Old Pictures

It’s perfectly normal to keep a few pictures of past relationships – I have a few myself, but is it normal to display them everywhere? Is it normal to still have a picture of you two as your Facebook default picture? Sometimes it’s hard to be blunt, but if he has pictures of his ex all over, you’re gonna have to confront him because he’s not over her.

3. Distant During Sex

If you are at the point in your relationship where you are having sex, do you notice a distance? Does he seem to be thinking about someone else? Does he even mumble his ex’s name during sex? These are all warning signs ladies that he ain’t over her and maybe you should either talk to him or move on.

4. Comparisons

Do you constantly feel compared to your boy’s ex-girlfriend? Does he constantly mention all the little things that she used to do … that you don’t? This is definitely a sign that he’s not over her! No one should ever compare their current girlfriend to an ex and vise versa ladies!

5. Wants You Two to be Friends

I get that a lot of guys are still friends with their ex girlfriends. Some guys can move past it and be just friends with their ex, but it’s when he wants you and her to become friends. Then it becomes a problem – who knows, maybe she is cool, maybe she is sweet, maybe she is awesome to hang out with – she’s also someone that probably broke your boyfriend’s heart.

6. Keeps an ‘Ex Girlfriend’ Box

If you have ever seen Gilmore Girls, you know exactly what type of ‘box’ I’m talking about. Lorelei had a Max box, Rory had a Dean box – it’s perfectly normal! If your guy has an ex girlfriend box, it’s understandable, but if he was really over her, wouldn’t he have pitched that?

7. Calls You by Her Name

This is a huge sign that he’s really not over her yet. If your name is Jessica and he’s constantly calling you Amy – his ex girlfriend, doesn’t that seem fishy? It’s understandable in the beginning to maybe mix the names up, heck it might not even have been that long since his breakup but if you are getting serious, he needs to stop the name calling.

8. Keeps Mementos

This sort of goes along with the ‘ex box’ theory but on a larger scale. If he’s keeping pictures, trinkets, treasures and gifts that she got him out in the open … that’s kind of strange. It’s definitely a warning sign and you will definitely want to just bring it up to him and talk it out.
As you can see, just as we have a hard time letting go of our old boyfriends, guys having a hard time admitting that he’s not over her. If you are in a relationship with a guy that you think ‘he’s not over her’, talk to him about it! What other signs should we be looking for ladies? Do you have any common warning signs that I might have missed? Share!

10 Disconcertingly Positive Signs Your Ex is Definitely Over You …

10 Disconcertingly Positive Signs Your Ex is Definitely Over You …

Signs Your Ex Is Over You can be hard to accept, especially if you’re still in love with him or her. Sometimes, broken relationships can get healed … but other times you just have to give up the ghost. It can be hard, but that’s why you need to pay attention to all the signs your ex is over you. You don’t want to keep trying if he clearly doesn’t want to get back with you. There are a number of rather disconcertingly positive signs your ex is definitely over you – and here they are.

1. A New Number

One of the surest signs your ex is over you is if he changes his number – and doesn’t say a word about or let you in on the new digits. It may mean that he doesn’t want to be readily available to you any longer. In this case an ex is generally trying to make a new start.

2. A Change of Location

Ditto with this choice. It doesn’t mean your ex is moving, but he or she might start hanging out at different places. For example, if the two of you made a point of hanging out a certain bar or restaurant, he might start looking for a new hangout.

3. Less Texting

It’s not uncommon for you two to keep texting each other when you’ve just broken up. If your ex starts sending fewer messages, it may mean he’s ready to move on. If that’s the case, inundating him with messages is a bad move.

4. No Emails

Similarly, if he used to send cute emails, jokes, forwards, or just chatty notes and they start to taper off, that’s one of the signs your ex is over you. Again, it suggests he’s ready to move on. Keeping in close contact might bring up too many memories, or he might just be trying to phase out of your life – and to phase you out of his.

5. A Social Network Lockdown

Are you two friends on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks? If you find that you can’t see as many of his posts, he’s probably getting over you. He may even un-friend or un-follow you to get the message across.

6. He’s Never Home

When you start getting over someone, it’s typical to start going out a lot. That might mean taking vacations or just spending a lot of time with friends. At any rate, when an ex starts spending time away from home, doing his or her own thing, it’s definitely a sign that the relationship may be done for good.

7. New Hobbies

Another one of the big signs that your ex is over you involves picking up new hobbies. Anyone who’s gone through a breakup knows how important it is to stay distracted and engaged in new activities. This can be a sign that your ex is ready to move on.

8. New Clothes

A new shirt here or there doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I don’t know about you, though, but when I used to go through serious breakups, I had a tendency to get rid of the things that really reminded me of my ex – including clothes. Remember what Rory Gilmore did after breaking up with Dean for the first time? Look for signs like that.

9. The Flirt Is Gone

Even though it’s generally a bad idea, couples who have recently broken up but still talk tend to keep flirting with each other. It’s an awkward kind of “we’re broken up but still know everything about each other” dance. If he or she starts pulling back from that, it’s definitely one of the signs your ex is over you. He or she may not feel comfortable being that flirty anymore.

10. He Starts Dating

Lastly, the biggest sign is when your ex starts dating again. Even casual dating suggests that he or she is really trying to get past the relationship. Your ex may just be trying to forget you, but all the same, all signs point to the fact that the relationship is over.
You may recognize some of these signs your ex is over you, and if so, you have all my sympathy. I know how hard that can be. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be friends, that you still won’t be in each other’s lives, but for now it’s probably best to just walk away. Some of the signs your ex is over you might be up for debate, but most of them are pretty concrete. Don’t make things worse by trying to force something that’s not there. What are some other signs your ex is over you?

Sex Tips: 8 Indisputable Mood-Killing Moves and How To Dramatically Turn Things

Sex Tips you’re about to read now are going to help you fix some of the burning issues in your bedroom, turn things around and start enjoying all those passionate moments you could only dream about. Yes, we all need a couple of good sex tips once in a while so don’t be shy- take a peak because I’ve moved heaven and earth today only to bring you the most complete list of everything couples find “disturbing” along with many professional as well as quite interesting sex tips on how to turn the downsides of your sex life into a rollercoaster you’ll both enjoy!

1. Foreplay? What Is That?

Some couples can spend hours “playing” before getting down to “business” while others prefer a shorter, wilder version in which foreplay lasts… well… a couple of minutes at most! The rule is that there are no rules, which means your new partner might continue to practice love-making techniques he’s used to and, the best of all sex tips I could give you would be to react and let him/her know that’s not how you like it. Be gentle, keep your voice low and seductive, give him/her your sexiest smirk and your loved one will get it.

2. He’s Being Exhaustingly Frisky

If find yourself dying to ask, “Boy, are we having sex or we’re training for the marathon?” or fighting the urge to explain the wonders of editing and tell him that adult movie actors don’t really change the position every 2 minutes, you can rest assured he’s trying to impress you. Most men tend to demonstrate this type of behavior at some point, younger ones especially but hey, it’s not the end of the world as this is one thing you can easily turn around. Your exhaustingly frisky man is just trying to please you and all you’ll have to do to keep him in one position longer is to show (or say) that you like it.

3. Same Position Over and Over Again

If your man or woman could be described as a very inquisitive person but your sex life involves one and one position only, you might want to use your imagination, arm yourself with plenty of compliments and start working on overcoming that shyness. Men are usually reluctant to try other positions thinking they will fail and embarrass themselves while women are mostly worried about how their bodies will look when placed into a position in question. A lot of compliments, ladies and gents, and you’ll be trying out new positions before you know it!

4. Hung and Careless

LOL, remember that Sex and The City Episode in which Samantha finally manages to find a guy not even she can handle? Well, practicing yoga won’t be one of the sex tips up for discussion today because we’re about to discuss something different – men who like to believe their “extra large” steaks don’t need any of the usual side dishes such as care, skill or, God forbid, emotion! These men can be placed into two subcategories: a) the ones who lack skill because nobody ever bothered to mention it before and b) the ones who lack skill because they believe that with a “package” like that one, demanding skill would be like asking Michelangelo’s David to mow your lawn! The first category is ready to learn, reacts well to compliments and will be rocking your world in no time while this last, a bit unreasonably proud and “touchy” group might prove to be more difficult to work with. If you’re really determined to make it work, try reversed psychology because his over inflated ego won’t be able to live with the fact that you’re not satisfied, if not… let him be, there are plenty of men with enough skill to last you a lifetime!

5. Honey? Are You Awake?

Let’s be honest ladies, guys are not the only ones prone to falling asleep immediately after sex! In fact, there are plenty of girls who do that too and I should know that as I’m one of them! LOL! So, if your man or your woman falls under this category of people as well, you can rest assured it has nothing to do with the lack of emotions. Not a lot of sex tips could be applied in this case but I’d suggest trying to end your lovemaking experience with a missionary position which will allow you to hug each other, gaze into each other’s eyes and share romantically intimate moments before, during and shortly after the “grand finale” and before the draining effect sets in and drags your loved one into the land of dreams.

6. Dirty Talk

Dirty talk can be a turn on or a complete turn off – depending on the timing and your preferences, of course which means your partner’s desire to spice things up by screaming obscenities might come as a bit of a shock and ruin a perfectly romantic moment. So, unless you want spend your every passionate moment worrying and expecting to hear one of these words, make a drastic move! Buy a sexy costume, play a bad girl/boy and enjoy playing a sexy game in which bad language is allowed but, when you agree not to play any games, let your partner know the whole naughty act needs to go too. Why not? You’ll have the best of both worlds!

7. Personal Hygiene and Habits

Okay, well, I definitely managed to make it sound gross but, just to make things clear, the next on my list of good to know sex tips won’t be about people with bad habits but people with habits that are different than yours. Some people like to shower both before and after sex, some are a bit more liberal and that clash of habits and feelings between a frequent “showerer” and a recreational “showerer” (I’ve invented this word, by the way, so don’t even bother trying to look it up) can be downright confusing. But, hey, it’s not the end of the world and here’s exactly how to deal with it. So, if you feel that your loved one could spend at least five minutes lying with you before hitting the shower, show him/her that by simply whispering “Don’t go yet, hug me/kiss me more” and if you think your loved one could use a shower before you “get down to business” ask him/her to join you in the shower and turn it into a sexy foreplay.

8. No Round Number Two

The last but not the least of these useful sex tips should help you finally achieve something that has been on your mind for quite some time now – keeping your partner into that sensual mood long enough to start considering round number 2! So, instead of rolling to the side, letting him/her to fall asleep, stand up, take your partner’s hand and lead him/her straight to the shower (wink wink)!
Ah, so many interesting sex tips and so little time! So, what are you waiting for – set the ball in motion tonight! But, before you go – tell me which sex tips did you find the most useful?
