June 25th, 2010 Manny

1. He likes appreciation from his efforts. Guys planned the date. He is the one who does the homework in finding the things you like and find some cool new places. So let him know that you appreciate his work on your behalf and the fact the he’s taking you out.

2. Embrace the awkwardness.

Things You Should Know About Dating

June 3rd, 2010 Manny

1. Guys tend to say anything just to close the deal.

2. It’s always okay to say no. If he stops calling, it would only mean that he is not truly interested in you as a person.

3. If you are confused about whether a guy likes you or not, that’s probably not good. Try not to analyze the events because the truth will reveal itself without you having to do anything.

4. You can’t force chemistry. If you like him as a friend, the attraction might grow but if it doesn’t, don’t force it and don’t waste his time.

5. There are times that a guy flirts with you or pays attention to you only because it makes them feel good about themselves. But girls do it too, right?

6. Don’t lift a finger in the beginning. (more…)

How To Turn Him On?

May 27th, 2010 Manny

If you’re going on a date with a new guy, maybe this is the right time to change your old ways of winning his heart. Stop following the same cliche over and over and try to think differently because guys like women who think on their own. Men want to know how your mind works.

Below are some ways that can turn him on:

  • You do things not because everyone does them. To most guys, followers are boring and independent thinkers are sexy.
  • You can face reality. It is very important that you have your own perspective about things that happen in the world no matter how bad or good they are. You must learn to accept that the world is good and bad.[pullquote]“The best way to find your perfect match is to meet love halfway.”[/pullquote]

What Marriage Rules To Break

May 13th, 2010 Manny

“It takes two tango”. Both of you should do everything to work things out and try everything not to get bored in your marriage life. These and other marriage rules need some changing because some of them may be downright damaging. Breaking marriage rules may be the best thing you can do to save your relationship.

  • Break the rule of “Boring is bad”. Don’t take it in a wrong way if your relationship becomes calm and predictable. In fact a drama-filled relationship may feel exciting but in the long run it’s not likely to be healthy. It is better to “boringly” know where your partner is every night than to be “excited” by constant ups and downs. Also, it is better to have a safe sex, relaxed, boring life together in the everyday because you can always inject excitement with vacations or activities every now and then.
  • Break the rule of “Never vacation without each other”. This is not realistic. One problem here is that you and your partner may not have the same definition of a great getaway. Sometimes, you need a spa and your partner may want to go camping or vice versa. Just keep in mind that you should not always take off without each other. (more…)
