Online Single Men Tips for First Date Thursday, May 28 2009 

On the internet - there are lots of internet dating tips for both men and women. Here are 4 steps that will help you out on your 1st date.

Step One -

You shouldn’t act simply to impress her. You need to be yourself! You’re going to lose her interest if she has to concentrate on your act or attitude. Try to pretend that she is just a friend and you aren’t trying to win her over, and possibly you’ll be comfortable enough to more easily be yourself.

Second Step:

Remember - first impressions count! Make sure she doesn’t think you will be a boring partner. You shouldn’t talk to much - and try to balance the conversation. Don’t just say yes or no to her inquiries, but you also do not want to tell your biography either. If you just speak about yourself, then you will sound exceedingly vain and dull!

3rd Step:

You need to look confident on your first singles date. You want to make her feel like you are intelligent and fascinating. When you speak, you need to sound sure, but not overbearing. Don’t make her dislike you before she begins to experience you! You don’t desire to make your first date, your last date!

For my last point of advice - you need to have fun with dating online! If you can, just try and forget your nervousness and envision she already knows you. Imagine like your not even on a date - but instead, merely hanging out with your friend. Hopefully your first date will be a memorable one.

Tips For A Happy Marriage Saturday, May 3 2008 

In January 2006, I will have been married to my husband for 29
years. We went out together for 2 years before that.

Marriage is a sacred vow to love your partner for richer or for
poorer, in sickness and in health, till … well you know the
rest. But for many people, the pressures, challenges, and
monotony of married life has shrouded its wonderful positive
aspects.

Great marriages don’t just happen. You have to do something to
make it last. Improve your marriage now. Remember that
improvement is not a one-time event. It’s a process, so better
start now.

Being happy starts within you. If you can’t be happy with
yourself, then there’s no chance that you’ll be happy with
someone else.

Be the best that you can be to your spouse.

The Qualities of a Successful Marriage

Love

Love is the most essential component in a relationship. It is
the powerful force that binds two unique individuals together. A
relationship will not start without love.

Support

Being a supportive spouse can be both a rewarding and a
difficult role in a relationship. The most important aspect is
being a loving presence always in your spouse’s life. Being
supportive means strengthening the partner. You bear the weight.
It is quite a responsibility for any one to take on. The sense
of responsibility grows deeper when your spouse faces certain
problems.

To avoid conflict, respect your spouse’s personal decisions.
Show that you have faith in your mate. Be the shoulder to lean
on. Work together to maintain balance in your life together.
Don’t be threatened by your spouse’s accomplishments. Be proud
of your spouse’s achievements. If you want to help your spouse
to recover from a difficult situation, don’t try to solve it on
your own.

Tolerance

The meanings of tolerance in the dictionary are:

1. The power or capacity of an organism to tolerate unfavorable
environmental conditions.

2. A disposition to allow freedom of choice and behavior.

3. The act of tolerating something. 4. Willingness to
recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others.

5. A permissible difference; allowing freedom to move within
limits.

The given meaning has only one denominator. Patience. Without
it, the word tolerance is nothing.

Always remember that it pays to be patient. As the saying goes,
patience is a virtue.

Communication

All arguments can be solved through proper communication. If
your partner annoys you for things he or she has done
consciously or unconsciously, approach your spouse. Talk to each
other. Explain that you are offended by that act. Remember that
he or she can’t read minds. Don’t try to keep it inside. It will
corrupt you. The annoyance will grow in your heart.

Don’t wait for it to burst one day. As early as possible
discuss the problem with your spouse. If a certain thing bothers
you, tell it straight to your spouse. It doesn’t hurt to be
straightforward. It is just a choice of words on how you will
express yourself.

Realistic Expectations

Don’t expect too much from your spouse. They are also humans
bound to commit mistakes.

Caring

Show your spouse that you’re concerned. During lunch, ask him or
her if he or she has already eaten. Small simple things can mean
a lot to them. Take time to notice your spouse. Say I love you
everyday.

Nurturing

Grow with each other. Nurture intimacy. Live together and raise
your children.

Sense of Humor

Laugh together. Have fun together. It is healthy to stretch out
those lazy lips. Don’t be too serious. Pressures of life? Don’t
let it weigh you down. Uplift your spirits high. Don’t take
things too seriously. Stop trying to be perfect because no
person is. Always put on a happy face! Smile immensely. It can
really change the way you and other people feel. Happiness is a
choice, so don’t choose to frown. A wrinkle on the face is ugly.

Smiling is considered as one of the fountains of youth. Smile
wide. Make the world a brighter place to live in. Don’t forget
to laugh and joke around. Be kind and smile at everyone,
especially your spouse. If tensions start to grow, smile at him
or her.

Laugh out loud. It’s the best medicine in town. Heal your body,
mind and soul. Fill your life with laughter so that you won’t
have much room left for negative emotions.

Commitment

A happy couple in a happy marriage develops bonding rituals.
These become the pillars that hold up the marriage. Show your
dedication every day.

Respect

Appreciate each other’s eccentricities and differences,
especially as woman and man. Learn to be happily different.
Learn to give and take. Practice kindness and politeness with
each other in at least 95 percent of your interactions.

Know how to handle conflict

Don’t make things worse by not talking to each other. Look into
your spouse’s eye when asking him or her. Don’t delay the
conversation for quite a long time. This will only make the
conflict worse.

Solve problems together

Resolve arguments rather than letting things fester. Speak up.
It will not aggravate the situation.

Interdependence

Learn to reciprocate.

Enjoy one another

Focus on enjoying life. Live a carefree life. Think that your
spouse is the one that really matters in this world. Do things
together. Excite your relationship by finding new ways to enjoy
each other.

Have fun together

Play in the rain together. Isn’t it great to be a child once in
a while? Run like a madman while you chase each other in the
rain.

Who Dances with Whom . . . and When? Saturday, Apr 26 2008 

The “New” Rules for a New Era

In our ever-changing world, many traditions are falling by the
wayside. For the bride who has dreamed of having a “Traditional
Wedding,” she can still have it, if she’s willing to concede
that some elements of the fairy-tale may need to be modified.
The most obvious place where concessions need to be made will be
the dance structure.

Once upon a time, knowing who danced with whom, and in what
order, at wedding receptions was easy:

* bride and groom;

* bride with father-in-law / groom with mother-in-law;

* bride with father / groom with mother;

* ushers and bridesmaids join in during the last one listed
above; and

* after a minute or so of the entire wedding party dancing, the
rest of the wedding guests are welcome to dance.

Now, with today’s blended families, and in the case of second
(or subsequent) marriages, these rules are not as easy to adhere
to for some people. The parents of the bride or groom, or both,
may be remarried. The new betrothed may have children, or one or
both parent(s) of the bride or groom may be absent so that they
may not be able to follow the traditional rules. In that case,
establish the dance structure according to the unique situation.

For example, when I married, I was a single mother and my
parents were absent. Obviously then, the bride with father, and
groom with mother-in-law dances weren’t remotely possible. So,
after the bride and groom dance, the groom’s father cut in and I
danced with my new father-in-law, while the groom invited his
mother to dance. At the point where I would have been dancing
with my own father had he been there, my new husband and I
invited my son (a toddler then) to dance with us. The groom
picked up his new step-son, and the three of us danced together
to a song that had special meaning for the three of us.

At the point where the ushers and bridesmaids joined us, my
groom and I danced together again, and my son invited a cousin
to dance with him. He did this of his own accord, assuming that
because all the other people in the wedding party were dancing,
he should be too. It was all the sweeter because he hadn’t been
directed to do it, though we wished we’d thought of it ourselves!

Perhaps you have step-parents you love, and that you’d like to
have included in the special dances. Feel free to do so. If
either the bride or groom has more people to dance with than his
or her partner, then the one with the lesser amount can invite
others of the wedding party to dance. For example, if the bride
will be dancing with a step-father and a step-father-in-law, but
there are no equivalents for the groom, he can invite the maid
of honor to dance, and then a bridesmaid.

The signal for the remaining guests to join will be when the
bride and groom reunite and the ushers and bridesmaids dance
together.

You can also have the band or disc jockey announce the dance
order. Have him or her say something like, “After the bride and
groom have shared their special dances with each other and with
loved ones, the ushers and bridesmaids will join the dancers. At
that point, the bride and groom invite all of you to join them
on the dance floor.”

If necessary, ask that one more announcement of invitation is
made once the ushers and bridesmaids are on the floor. Or, the
bride and groom can go out amongst the guests and choose new
partners, preferably members of the new spouse’s family.

Whatever the case may be, you’ll find the pattern that suits you
best, and your traditional wedding will still maintain the
formality and old-world etiquette you were striving to achieve.

Great Wedding Gift Ideas Sunday, Apr 6 2008 

You’re looking for a special wedding gift, and don’t want to simply choose something from the registry. You want unique and memorable wedding gift ideas.

Every couple is unique. So here are a few surefire tips to help you find wonderful and unforgettable wedding gift ideas that match the couple perfectly.

Today’s weddings are as unique as the people involved. The wedding day is one of the most memorable and special events in a person’s life; and the means by which the day is celebrated and executed, are no longer routine. So you’ll want to make sure your wedding gift ideas as are tailored to suit the event and the couple.

If you know the theme of the wedding, your shopping time could be cut in half. Simply choose a unique gift, they both will enjoy that concentrates around the theme.

If you don’t know the theme of the wedding, think about the couple. What is their couple “identity”? For example, if they take a trip together… Do they go camping, skiing, golfing, to the beach, to the mountains?

Another approach… what’s their entertainment style? What do they do in their free time? The concept is to come up with something you know they both love and then choose your gift to match the topic. Here’s a sample:

A friend of mine knew my husband and I had a small vacation home on one of the North Carolina beaches. She also knew that whenever we could get away, that’s where we went. For our wedding present, she gave us a book full of photographs and information on the North Carolina coast. Inside the book were two gift certificates, one for a day at the spa for me, and one for a massage for him.

It has been almost fourteen years and we still have the book and remember the gift.

If you want your gift to be as memorable as their wedding day, here are two gifts that will do the trick:

  1. Buy the bride and groom engraved keepsake boxes to safely place the special items they’re sure to accumulate as the day goes by. The boxes will safely and securely protect precious memories of the day they married for years to come. For something very special, as you’re choosing the boxes, go beyond the typical keepsake box. Specialize each box to depict the personality of it’s owner.
  2. Watercolor wedding paintings make a sentimental and unique gift. You give a gift certificate that allows the bride and groom to send in pictures from their wedding day that are used to do a watercolor painting. The couple will have a one of a kind painting of their favorite photo that keeps the memories alive for years to come.

With just a little bit of imagination, your gift could be the best one they receive.
