Facebook Fantasy
I got out of my office in a hurry. The elevator was busy as usual. I clicked on the up and down arrows couple of times. The arrows did not seem to care. It was the typical "leaving the office" traffic. Everybody wanted to go home immediately, before anyone, so they have more time at home than the others. As it happens in times like this, when I have time to think, that is when I stand in front of...  more

The Universal Need To Be Loved
Would you say it's true that we all need to be loved? There are seven basic emotional needs that are essential to creating a truly loving and emotionally supportive relationship: love, caring, understanding, respect, appreciation, acceptance, and trust. All of these attitudes are present to various degrees when a person feels emotionally supported. Positive sentiments like fulfillment, peace,...  more

Why Sex Before Marriage?
Our society is starving for intimacy and many of the lies we believe in our culture have to do with our hunger for relationship. We want acceptance, loving relationships and deep intimacy, and yet we believe the lie that sex will satisfy our hunger. It’s true that we are profoundly sexual beings, but it’s time to examine some of the lies we feast on: the lie that premarital sex is one of our...  more

Relationship Do's and Dont's
I guess we all have our different opinions on how things should be. Whether it is to have someone be honest in a relation ship or to work hard in a relationship. No matter what you do people have that view of how relationship will work, however, some can change their opinions. How is that? When two people truly want a relationship to work don't they first have to work at it? We have all been...  more

Light Switch Relationships
I think everyone at one point in their lives has the lightswitch romance. It's the vicious yet often times unnoticed cycle of dating and breaking up only to date again. So why do people do it? Why do we swear to ourselves that it was the last time only to date them a few months later? Like many, I had my first major lightswitch relationship in High School. My lightswitch relationships...  more

Thinking of You
Sophie's face faded into the gray winter light of the sitting room. She dozed in the armchair that Joe had bought for her on their fortieth anniversary. The room was warm and quiet. Outside it was snowing lightly. At a quarter past one the mailman turned the corner onto Allen Street. He was behind on his route, not because of the snow, but because it was Valentine's Day and there was more mail...  more

A Compounded Love Affair
I joined the company in the month of May year 2005.After a tumultuous time at a BPO - where we learned that there are no nights to go home, only late evenings and then early morning. Food so pathetic that the taste buds went for a toss. Only thing that kept the eye open were the ladies on and off the floor (standard term for a place where calls are taken) or probably the supervisor shouting after...  more

Emotional Baggage: Can We Really Get Rid Of It?
I am so often inspired by the questions, answers and comments on GIRLS ASK GUYS and in the case of this article, I have to say that that I was especially moved to write. This time, the idea of emotional baggage entered the arena, and with it, sexism reared its ugly head once again. It began with a story I wrote about feminine suppression of natural sex instincts. At one point in the article, I...  more

Too Many Chiefs, and Not Enough Indians, Doesn't Make A Tribe
Too Many Chiefs, and Not Enough Indians, Doesn't Make A Tribe.And there seems to be this invisible ball that gets tossed back and forth, from time to time, when two people are dating. One person initiates something, and the other person responds. And it goes back and forth.Now in dating, as I have heard all over the place, there is a gardener and a flower, or a sun and a planet. This is from other...  more

The Drunken Girlfriend
Girls, we've all done it. We've all hit that point where we've had just one tiny sip over our limit, that moment when we just slightly tip over the edge, that moment where no matter what our boyfriend/fiance/husband says, we want nothing more than to give them a piece of our mind. If you haven't done it, either you will or more power to you for fending off the alcohol.It all starts innocently...  more

Marriage, Heaven or Hell? Which Will You Choose?
For women, being married is the height of the romantic ideal. Some girls plan their weddings from the time they were in knees socks, which is why we consider weddings to be primarily for the woman. It is "her day" we say.For men, such a commitment means giving up their independence. Even a relationship-oriented male may feel as if he is exchanging his carefree days for a life of drudgery....  more

What happened to MY life?
I'm all cool and collect with the girl I just met. We're taking it slow and everything is going according to plan. Then we become exclusive and SUDDENLY I'M LOST! I start to open up and take things faster. I'm always thinking about her and starting to picture my life with her. I send her a text message and I don't get a response. I start to have anxiety.

Opposites Attract
If you took the idea of "Opposites Attracting to one another" then, what is it about the level of magnetism between two people that is considered to be attraction?For two magnets to be at their highest level of attraction, there must be a give and take of polar forces and gravity to bring them together. Or putting yourself in a position to let things flow naturally between two people who are...  more

Emotional Bond or Just Physical, Which Leads to Less Heartache?
Is having an emotional relationship better or worse than having a purely physical relationship with someone? That is a question that is tough to answer for me. I have been in an emotional relationship with someone for many years and we have been friends, close friends. I have been his emotional girlfriend so to speak. When he needed an ego boost I was there, when he needed someone to show they...  more

Confessions of A Teenager
I personally, just like any guys, get physically attracted to girls who look good and "have it all". And honestly, I have 2-3 crushes during my primary school period and 2 during my secondary (high school) life.Firstly, I give a brief description of who I am. I'm rebellious sometimes( I really hate to be told what to do), emotional, reflective, but love to crack jokes that make others laugh (...  more

I Love Men But Hate When You Do This
Many of you may recall an article I wrote called CHIVALRY IS DEAD AND WOMEN KILLED IT. In the article, I expounded upon the things that women do to keep the battle of the sexes going. Well, as they say, turnabout is fair play. Now, as far as things go, men are far less demanding of their partners within relationships. If a woman is likable, attractive, gives a man his space and hey, cooks a...  more

Why We End Up With Jerks
While messaging a good friend on here regarding relationships, I recalled a memory of being a lonely book worm whom no one wanted to date in High School. Come to find out after graduation that several boys liked me and didn't step forward to let me know, fearing I was too studious and not interested in dating.And there I had been, feeling like the ugly duckling all those years. What those guys...  more

The Secret To A Happy, Healthy Relationship
What is going on with relationships today? I am, as most of you might know, a big rock and roll head, so I listen to the new and old stuff a lot. One of the things I noticed recently was that, while the old rock and roll had its share of angst filled relationship songs, there was a lot about love, sacrifice, and endearing emotions. Noteworthy in particular, was the idea of giving to the other...  more

My Perfect Valentines Day Gift
My boyfriend asked me what I wanted for Valentines Day and it got me thinking. The answer he is looking for is, most likely, "Nothing, you have given me everything a girl could want." As you can imagine, that is not what he is going to hear!Flowers, chocolates, candles, teddy bears, jewelry and a romantic dinner at my favorite restaurant are all on my wish list but not at the top. These are easy...  more

Why Don't Women Want a Nice Guy?
Women don't want a nice guy--I have heard this more times than I care to count and yes, for some very immature women, the idea that a bad boy is somehow more desirable makes them exclude potentially great mates.However, I think the idea that MOST women do not want nice guys is a myth. We just want a "certain type" of nice guy, just as men want a "certain type" of nice girl.I know far too many...  more

Love or Friendship? Choose Wisely
A lot of people think they are in love with their best friend. These people are wrong. They confuse best friend love with boyfriend and girlfriend love and I think the main reason for this confusion is loneliness. I am also guilty of falling into this trap and it has not turned out well at all. Hopefully I can convince some of you that acting on these feelings is not a smart idea if you want to be...  more

Why is it That Guys Are Attracted to Such Bitches?
"I see time & time again nice guys who are with total bitches. Controlling, manipulative, nasty, down right bitches. Sure maybe they are pretty or have a nice body. But is it more important to men that their woman look nice or be nice?"Cause they are stupid (or just haven't learned yet). They may deny it, but deep down they know it. Most young guys (myself included) grow up seeing beautiful women...  more

Add Snuggles To Your Portfolio
I'm going to spell out the powerful effects held by the simple snuggle. Underneath it all, every woman craves a little protection, a shield from the storms found in the daily grind. We want reassurance, acceptance and appreciation. We need to feel safe, secure and desired. All of this can be achieved through a little snuggle here and there.Given that men likely don't understand this need, I'll...  more

Show Me You Love Me, Wear This
The tokens of love that woman crave include flowers, chocolate and framed pictures of the two of you walking on the beach (or some similar romantic, albeit ridiculous, pose). "Aww, you remembered!" gifts can be a compilation of her favorite songs or a bowl of popcorn and her most treasured movie from her childhood years. Surprisingly thoughtful ways of showing your love could include a candlelight...  more

I Do Not Want a Serious Relationship - Seriously
I have often wondered about the communication breakdown that almost inevitably occurs between a man and a woman when they start dating. From the time I was in Elementary School, up to the present, I've always been told that I get my thoughts across quite well. Unless I mumble, I usually do not get a quizzical look when I communicate, or a "Huh? What did you say?" when I converse with...  more
