Shine Bright Like a Diamond

There is a saying that goes by "A picture is worth a thousand words".

I had this wacky imagination upon seeing this picture and it just lead me to bring in two souls I know and maybe there may truths in it or fantasy that I shall leave for you all to wonder and ponder. Let the journey begin....

Having friends turning to their partners or the other half didn't seem to bother me much as I knew deep down there will be someone somewhere out there. Never did I even think of who will it be , where will I meet the person , How will they look like , Will I give a good impression and etc. but I knew in mind whoever that person is going to be will be someone whom I have known or met as GOD has his mysterious ways to connect people.

We walk the paths we choose and at times we tend to stumble upon diamonds and at times rocks. Diamonds are rare to find and it will be treasured like gold once found but for the world it somehow turns to be a green monster. I found myself two unique diamonds along the path that I was afraid to travel alone but it didn't turn out so bad as it seems. This two unique diamonds what amazes me was the bond between them. Growing up with boys I have seen many kinds of bond but not with this two diamonds. Their bond is incredibly different and as I learn their ways there is no way I can be at their level. The more I try , the more I stumble down. It's not the barriers or the walls it's just that this two diamonds have some sort of telepathy or bro codes of their own that no one will be able to understand. I admire their bond as it is an art of communication of its own.

Knowing their bond , I told one of the diamonds to not let anyone get into your bond as jealousy may occur and trust me out there somewhere someone is highly jealous with bonds you have with someone else thus problems and issues takes place. Anything could happen so bear in mind never take things for granted.

What if one of the diamonds were to fall in love that leaves the other diamond alone but not in this case. There may come a time where the diamond may part ways as the diamond has to fulfill the needs of being committed to a relationship. What happens to the other diamond you may ask ; that diamond will have ways to overcome but will NEVER forget to give the diamond a buzz to say hello

Days...weeks...months...years passed by everything changes as responsibilities increases and commitments.

One day, both the diamonds happen to bump into each other at their once upon a time favorite hot spot. A sudden gush of memories flash through their minds. They decided to sit down and catch up as it has been days..weeks..months passed by so fast. They had their share of laughter as past memories came knocking their minds. It felt good going back to the past and reliving their childhood memories to college memories right to the moment they went different directions to build a better future for themselves. Few hours passed by , both diamonds in a way missed each other's presence and realized   they have come along way to reach where they are now.

Time came again where they had to part ways but they promised to meet again soon. As one diamond left to head home ; the other diamond felt like taking a stroll as memories was lingering around. The diamond went to a park and tried to loose the sadness within. No matter how hard the diamond tried to let go the feeling but it kept pestering him.

The park that was once filled with laughter has now turned to a dark , gloomy place where the diamond could feel the presence of loneliness and despair and hurt. The diamond took a look around trying to recall how it was once upon a time. It took awhile for the diamond to realize that time has indeed passed by so fast and the diamond sat on a bench gazing at the park.

The diamond had this sudden feelings coming in mind and the diamond was trying so much to not give in to those emotions. The diamond got up from the bench and walked slowly trying to figure out how to make up for the loss made with the other diamond. The longer the diamond spent at the park ; the diamond seemed to be getting all sort of ideas and plans to repair the bond that the diamonds had once.

The diamond looked at the park from a distance and what the diamond could sense was a feeling of despair and sadness as there were a lot off hidden secrets that this diamond couldn't tell the other diamond as it has been ages since they saw each other. This phrase suddenly was playing in the diamonds mind ".Why is there nothing I can do? I see such pain, such destruction, so many things that shouldn't be happening. There has to be something that I can do. Even if it’s just something small, Anything at all, because I can’t take this anymore ; afterall we grew up together".The diamond felt  heart broken and shattered. The diamond broke down in tears and saw a sudden light flickering on the lamp post and the diamond gazed upon the lamp post and asked GOD not to foresake the diamond in his darkest hour. A sudden gush of cold wind appeared and the diamond felt calmed and had a sudden flame of courage burning as it was like a second shot given by GOD ; thus the diamond picked up the cell phone and buzzed the other diamond and told everything that took place.

Being such cool diamonds , all it took was one phone call to fix things between and one diamond to believe in miracles. GOD sure works in mysterious ways and shows the light to people who calls upon him as HE does not foresake anyone in their darkest hour.

Everyone deserves a second chance to prove their worth. Friendships / relationships will have its ups and downs but that doesn't mean it is going to be a bed of roses. It requires FAITH and never for a second doubt in MIRACLES. Coming back to the diamonds ; both the diamonds are back to how they use to be but something never changed that is the park that remained gloomy and eerie at night. As the diamond walks pass there to remind the diamond what good has GOD done ; the diamond indeed is thankful and feels blessed.

One cold night, the diamond just felt like strolling the park at midnight and the diamond noticed a gang chilling and sharing stuffs. The diamond smiled ; as it reminded about the past how awesome it was and the naughty stuff they did and etc. The diamond learnt something at the end of the journey that is "Everything changes except true friendship bond remains solid even heaven or hell can come down but never will it break".

From that day onwards , the diamond has never forgotten about the other diamond no doubt having responsibilities but the diamonds did a commitment of meeting up during the weekends and every year for New Year's they will have a get together to symbolize and cheers to their everlasting friendship.

Love Is About Taking Chances

LOVE or LIKE you decide =D
Being around people who has relationship with their other half has brought me one step closer to actually understanding them. Relationships are indeed a roller coaster ride and it is never a bed of roses. TRUST ME when I tell you that. There is one incident I love and the view of it is just wow like wow wow.

As we all know every relationship starts off as friendship.This two characters I am going to introduce are college mates as that's how they met. This boy I shall name him Q and the girl I shall name her H.  You readers ready for adventures ? Here goes ....

Q met H in college as mentioned above. Everyday H would go have lunch or tea just to know Q. Although Q was busy ; he would set aside everything and spend some time with H. So many days , weeks and months passed and they grew fonder towards each other. It felt like they knew each for so long. It was indeed a special bond what they both shared to the extend some people thought Q and H are together.

Few months through their friendship , H found herself in a relationship with someone else. That I must say was a turning point for the both of them I guess. When Q found out that , he distanced himself and never saw H at all. On the other hand, H was trying reach Q but every attempt it failed. It came to a point where H got herself embarassed and Q was watching that incident.

It was months later , Q knew H was back being single. Another turning point much? Q was into another girl and H was happy for him. Sadly , Q was not able to get the girl he wanted. Q was cool as he got to spend time with H.

Their friendship was massive for two years. H and Q always fight and tease and bully one another. Did I mention if fight it's massive fight over petty stuffs. The beauty of the fights is somehow they still manage to stand side by side one another. H always loved to bully Q and H felt she could be herself without feeling any fear. Q on the other hand was forever the victim but never once did he show his anger.

Q and H were busy so they hardly met but they still kept in touch. Technically Q was doing the keeping in touch as H was so stressed up and caught up with things till she actually went MIA from her close friends and never went out occasionally.

One fine day, Q met H and normal moments as usual took place. Q was telling H , he likes some girl. Q just listened and adviced as usual but never for a second asked who was that girl. H realized Q was not wanting to know who and all thus he himself asked H "Don't you want to know who is the girl ?". H then asked Q who the girl is with a smile on her face as she was excited for Q. Moments then Q replied it's you. H was shocked and all she could do was to hug Q and scolded Q for now realizing her presence.

Q and H still remained in the friendzone for GOD knows what reason. Few months down the road , Q and H had a massive fight and that fight sort of scared Q out. Q didn't want to loose the beautiful friendship they had and Q lost H once and he knew the pain of it. The best part was even if Q didn't explain what's bound to be said H knew immediately what it was all about. Q confessed he purposely created fight. H was upset she told Q next time just tell don't fight to get your message across.

Just recently , Q and H was insanely joking till H just said "I don't see the point of you being scared and even if I do go with other guys ; you better not be away from me". Without any thoughts , Q replied H " I won't also cause I am trapped with you". That kind of disturbed H mind the whole day. The following day , H asked Q again and Q said " I actually hope you get a nice guy who can take care of you". H was shocked and said chill got long way ahead of us till then we just enjoy la.

You know it is very rare to see this kind of friendship. Relationship is all about taking the risk while Friendship is all about trust.

Is your relationship going anywhere?

As a romance grows and the weeks turn into months, couples usually start to make plans together. Whether it's concert tickets for a few weeks away, or your first summer holiday together, making plans together is a sure signal that you're getting ready to commit. If, however, a few months have passed and you're still living in the moment and not looking beyond the present, it could well be that one or both of you isn't interested in getting serious.

Sure, it's nice to be told that you have a beautiful smile, gorgeous eyes and soft, silky hair - those kind of compliments are always welcome. But as a relationship develops, your partner will also make admiring comments about your personality - your intelligence, your humour, your compassion and your principles. The spiritual union of two people always begins by deep mutual admiration, so if you think that your partner is beginning to 'get you', then you're on your way to your relationship becoming a serious thing.

Hanging out, having fun and laughing are key parts of a relationship. If you and your partner can relax together, make jokes and really share moments of joy and good humour then it could be the start of a bond that will deepen into something special. Some say that laughter is the shortest distance between two people - it means having a common communication code. That's certainly an excellent omen for a lasting courtship.

Kissing can be wild, crazy, passionate - and it can be tender, cuddly and affectionate. Both kinds are very, very nice - but it's the tender affectionate kind that signals romance and commitment, rather than simple sexual attraction. If your partner kisses and hugs you spontaneously, with no apparent cause or reason other than to show you love, then you could well be onto a winner.

Now, we're not talking about rushing things and discussing love, kids and marriage when you've only been together a short time - that's often a good way to crush the delicate flower of a blooming romance. However, if you've been together four or five months and your partner is still completely evading some issues, you might just have a problem on your hands.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that the eyes are the windows to the soul. If you can and your partner can look deep into each other's eyes and hold each other's gaze - no secrets - then it's a good signal that you're ready to commit to one another.

A serious relationship is based, in large part, on companionship and mutual support. If you've been dating your new partner for a while and they come to you with a problem or concern, or ask you for advice, then that indicates that you're becoming important to them and they value your opinion.

If your new partner arrives at your date with some small or big surprise, it indicates that they've been thinking of you. A person in love is in your head to be loved all day, and not only at times when you're together.Bear in mind that, as a relationship matures, it's little gestures like this that keep the love alive and prevent either of you feeling that you're being taken for granted.

A person who is happy in their new relationship wants to show their partner off to the world. The decision to introduce each other to friends or family may take a few weeks or maybe months, and it's advisable to take the time to get to know each other well first. However, if you've been together several months and your partner still isn't keen on you meeting their friends or family, then it might be that they're not taking the relationship seriously or they have something to hide.

One of the loveliest things about being in a caring relationship is having someone with whom to share your day-to-day news, gossip and gripes. If you can listen patiently as they talk about the troubles they've been having a rival at work - and they're happy to hear you moan about the stuff that's been bothering you too - then you're on your way to a committed and supportive relationship.

Every Girl's Perfect Date

#12 Punctuality matters!
Timing is important. Don't show up early at her door -- but you never want to keep her waiting. If she lives with roommates, expect to make small talk. This is key, consider it a test, one you can't afford to fail.


#11 Dress the part
We know, you're just a casual dude and you're not into dressing up. Great, now remember you want to be a casual dude with a gf, not your single casual dude self. You're not going out for a beer with your buddy, you're trying to impress a girl. Try.


#10 Pick it up
Do pick up the check -- Most girls are still pretty traditional and prefer that a guy show some classic dating manners like picking up the check for dinner, even if she offers to help.


#9 Learn more
Ask questions that keep the conversation going in a meaningful way. Figure out what she likes and what she's interested in -- you may discover that you two have a lot more in common than you presumed. Show her you're interested in her.


#8 Introduce her
When you're out on a date, sometimes you'll run into people you know. It's important to remember to introduce your date within the first minute that you start chatting with your friend/co-worker/classmate/acquaintance. Don't introduce her as "my friend" and your attentiveness will make it a happy evening for her.


#7 Location, location, location!
Location is key and we can't be more emphatic about this aspect of the date! If you live in the city, it's important that you pick a place close enough to walk her home at the end of the evening. If you are driving, make sure you pick a place where finding parking isn't a problem. If she seems hesitant to go to your first suggested location, suggest another.


#6 No pressure
The worst thing for a girl on a date is pressure, everyone moves at a different pace and the key is making your date feel comfortable.


#5 Pay attention
Go beyond the generic, "You look great" date opening remark. When a guy notices a thoughtful detail about a girl -- a dimple, pretty eyes, great smile -- and compliments her for it, it's smooth sailing towards a perfect date.


#4 Open doors
This is an age-old one that all guys are taught but many seem to forget these days: open the door for your lady! She'll remember the moment you stepped outside your car to open the door for her -- despite your car's one-button unlock function. Small details of chivalry make the evening a perfect 10 for a girl.


#3 Walking the walk
Guys, don't forget that the date doesn't end when she gets out of your car! Take the time to walk her to her door, showing her not only your good manners, but also that you care whether she gets home safely. Plus, she may just invite you in!


#2 Fresh breath
Whether it's pre or post dinner, a guy's got to have fresh breath if he wants to leave a lasting impression.


#1 Kiss me
If everything else goes well, then a kiss is on the list! Gentlemen, don't hesitate if she doesn't kiss you back right away -- she's just as nervous! Whether it's just a gentle peck or a romantic lip-lock, the kiss is important in ensuring a date is perfect at the end of the night.

Biggest Relationship Mistakes

#15 Forgetting to Be Friends
The root of a healthy relationship is friendship. Don't let your romance (or lack thereof) make you forget that.


#14 Intentionally Saying Hurtful Things
This is a tactic that some people just didn't grow out of after high school like they should have. Even when you are arguing with each other, don't say things that you know will hurt them. Don't disrespect them or say something that could affect them negatively.


#13 Not Resolving Conflict
It's become pretty popular to avoid saying "I'm sorry" at all costs these days. This may work for you if you'd like to make your partner feel terrible, but owning up to your mistakes will be worth it for both of you.


#12 Can't Handle Distance
It is not uncommon for someone to have a job that takes them far away at times. Some people are not cut out for a relationship like this but will make the mistake of trying to stick with it anyway. It may seem brutal to break it off because you can't handle the distance, but in the end you will only be saving each other from years of misery.


#11 No Romance
Sure, feeling like you're in a chick flick can be pretty cheesy, but sometimes it's those cheesy little moments that really show your partner that you care.


#10 Not Handling Embarrassment
A lot of people will accept being with someone that makes them feel embarrassed, or worse, someone that is embarrassed to be seen with them. Don't sell yourself short just because you're afraid of being alone. You owe them and yourself the respect to get out.


#9 Not Compromising
Let him pick where you go to eat if you get to pick the movie or vice versa. In the end, neither of you will really care what you did that day, but you'll always remember that you were both willing to do something just because the other person likes it.


#8 Not Being on the Same Page
Some couples have a problem with one person feeling more committed than the other. The best way to ensure this problem never arises is to make sure you're on the same page about everything. Talk it out, assure your partner of how you feel about them.


#7 Not Seeing Things From Their View
You need empathy to get through any other relationship in your life -- with co-workers, your family, your friends -- why should it be different with your partner?


#6 Making Assumptions
One of the biggest assumptions made in a relationship is thinking that your partner is a certain way just because you met someone else that's that way too. The whole "all guys/girls are the same" idea gets old fast.


#5 Pretending to Like Things You Don't
This is a textbook mistake that people have been making since the beginning of time! Be with someone that shares your interests or at least someone that respect your differences, you will be much happier.


#4 Expecting Things to Change
This is a hard lesson for some people to learn, but you can't change your boyfriend/girlfriend. Only they can do that and only when they decide to. If you're waiting it out, expecting something wonderful to happen, you're only wasting your time.


#3 Constant Fighting
You may have been raised to think that men and women are supposed to fight like cats and dogs, but this is far from true. If you find yourself fighting nearly every day just to make yourself heard, it's probably time to head out or send your partner packing.


#2 Avoiding the Issues
Couples that argue all the time are not healthy, however couples that never discuss the tough issues may be worse. If you both keep sweeping problems under the rug and pretending to be happy, the downfall may be drastic.


#1 Expecting Marriage to Fix Everything
Too many couples hurry to the alter expecting it to magically fix everything. Marriage certainly can feel magical sometimes, but it does not make life suddenly perfect.

Speak enthusiastically about your interests, your work, and your feelings for your main squeeze, and your Scorpio will be eating out of the palm of your hand.

How to Make Your Woman Swoon

#15 Tell Her She's Beautiful
Women love compliments but none as much as those that come from the one they love. There should never be any doubt in her mind that you find her attractive. Tell her every time.


#14 Reassure Her
Be the guy that's always in her corner, giving her sincere reassurance. If she's worried about that big interview, tell her how smart she is and what a great employee she'll be. If she's nervous about her new haircut, tell her how hot she looks. Whatever it is, just reassure her.


#13 Treat Her Like a Real Lady
It doesn't matter if she drives monster trucks for a living and hasn't worn a dress since childhood, every woman loves it when a man treats her like a lady. Bring her flowers, make her candlelight dinners, leave her love notes. Do all of those little "cheesy" things you might feel silly doing because they will make her feel like she is loved.


#12 Talk Her Up to Others
People don't like it when others talk about them behind their back unless something good is being said. When someone asks about your girl, tell them how amazing she is. It will eventually get back to her and when it does, she will love you for it.


#11 Be Helpful and Understanding
This is especially huge if she gets into some kind of trouble or is under a lot of stress. Be understanding of her situation and try to help her however you can.



#10 Listen To Her
Remember that you can hear someone without actually listening to them. When you listen to her, take a genuine interest in the things she has to say and respond by consoling her. This isn't a time to give her advice (unless she asks for it), she probably just wants to know you care.


#9 Just A Kiss
Don't be the kind of guy that only kisses when it can turn into something more. Show her you love to kiss her any time, not just when it could lead to a make-out session or sex.


#8 Tell Her When You Miss Her
You may think that being in love sort of automatically implies that you'd miss each other when there is distance between you, but it doesn't mean she doesn't still want to hear it.



#7 Embrace Her Quirks
Maybe she knows more about the world of comics than you and loves to knit or make crafts. Embrace all of those "odd" little things that make her who she is. In fact, those are probably all of the little things you adore about her.


#6 Admit When You're Wrong
It's like the old saying goes "do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?" Say you're sorry, it's worth it.


#5 Watch Her Favorite Film
So she watches The Vow too much, you're probably sick of hearing it but if you watch it with her voluntarily, you just might find yourself in one of those romantic situations she's always watching in the movies.


#4 Go The Extra Mile
There are a bunch of little things you can do each day to show her how much you care. Walk her home or surprise her with lunch at work. Do little things every day that go above what she was expecting and she'll be completely swept off her feet.


#3 Whisper Sweet Nothings
Lean in close and whisper something sweet to her. Tell her how beautiful she is or how much you love her. She'll love the intimate moment between you two.


#2 Smile At Her
One of the quickest ways to grab her attention is by making eye contact and smiling. Extra points if you wink like Ryan here (of course, if you happen to look anything like Ryan Gosling, you probably don't need to do anything more)


#1 Let Her Know You're Smitten
Women want to know their wanted and that their man is always eager to see her. You will make her happy by showing her that she is your every happiness.

How to Make Him Fall in Love

#15 You First!
This tip is perhaps the most important one. It may be cliche, but as Carrie Bradshaw once famously said, you cannot love another person and expect to be loved in return unless you love yourself first! Wise words.


#14 Don't Overdo It
While you may think that showering your guy with affection is the way to his heart, think again! Studies have shown that guys actually find it a turn off when girls give more than what he does because it turns them into more of a mother figure, rather than a friend or girlfriend.


#13 And Action!
Sometimes it's nice to spice things up a bit, so why not choose a date more suited to him? Guys love action-packed activities, so next time you spend time together, let him make the suggestions!


#12 Absence
You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder! While spending lots of time together is a sure way to his heart, so is reminding him of how much he loves spending time with you! So every now and then, don't forget to take some time out to see your girlfriends or family.


#11 Take it Slow
When it comes to the physical side of your relationship, the best advice is to take it slow and allow it to develop gradually over time. This allows the two of you to build trust, one of the most important aspects of love.


#10 Keep it Intriguing
A woman's instinct is to share a lot all at once, so make sure you keep some intrigue! Men love a bit of mystery after all.


#9 Two-Way Street
The reality is, you can't expect him to love you if you don't love him in return. Love is a two-way street, so make sure your desires are true, and that you don't simply crave the affection and attention of another.


#8 A Man's Heart
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, as they say. But the truth is, everyone likes to be fed! Serve him up a treat and watch him (hopefully) return the favor. Love is about all the senses after all!


#7 Friendship = Key
While love and flirting are important, so is friendship! Love is about being best friends with one another too.


#6 The Joker
Men know that women love a man who makes them laugh! If every time you see a guy and he makes you laugh, you leave him feeling good about himself. In turn, he begins to associate this feel-good rush with you, therefore leading to lots of love potential!


#5 Confident Woman
Relying on your man doesn't mean being a crumbling mess without him! Men are strongly attracted to confident women who know what they want and aren't afraid to get it! So give him reasons to admire you.


#4 Reliance is Key
Showing him that you rely on him (not TOO much) and allowing him to also rely on you will do wonders for your relationship. This way you allow the bond to deepen, opening yourselves up for love.


#3 Time = Love
Spend time together! If there's a mutual attraction to begin with, then the more time you both spend together will allow the two of you to become closer. He'll learn to love one-on-one time with you.


#2 Choose Similarities
Instead of dwelling on your differences, focus on your similarities instead! While sometimes you can benefit from trying new things to impress your potential lover, just make sure you don't fake interest! He'll be able to tell straight away.


#1 Eye Spy
A US study has shown that lovers spend 75% of their time together staring one another in the eye. Ensuring that you give your crush eye-contact encourages him to look you in the eyes too, therefore encouraging his brain to think about love.

Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight by M.E. Thomas

I found this book incredibly interesting and couldn't put it down. The best thing about this book was that it was written by someone that is a high-functioning sociopath and she is not a criminal. Millions of times I have seen books written about or by people that are considered sociopaths but are criminals. This was the first I had seen the broke the mold, so being interested in learning about such topics, I dove right into this book. I liked how the author directed you to visit her website to see how sociopaths and others interact. The website is SociopathWorld.com. I was able to browse around a bit and get a feel for what the author was talking about how people completely condemn and judge those that are sociopaths. The conclusion I came to from reading this book was: all people have some little quality or varying degrees of traits that would/could be related to sociopaths. So before people start judging they need to learn all the facts and take into account people's lifestyles and upbringing. There are so many factors related to the subject that to just lay a blanket statement over everything is really under-estimating people and their abilities. This book got me to think about and view things differently as well as slightly get a look as to how a person, that is considered a sociopath, deals with various tasks and things in everyday life. A very eye opening experience reading this book, but it was all worth it :) 

How to make him or her fall in love

#15 Sacrifice
Every now and then, it's nice to show your girl that you put her first, and she is sure to return this sentiment. For example, if she desperately wants you to see a movie with her but you were planning on having a quiet night in, let her know that you're willing to do that for her.


#14 Mr. Mature
Display your maturity to your girl by showing her how serious you are with your career, or how well you handle your finances. Women love a confident and clever man.


#13 Show Faith
Women want to feel secure with their man, and once this trust and your faithfulness has been assured, your relationship with one another will reach new heights.


#12 Chill Pill
Don't sweat the small stuff! Show her that you have a cool demeanor when dealing with problems and she'll know that she can always rely on you!



#11 Play Doctor
When your girl's not feeling her best, show her you care by looking after her or simply sending a 'Get Well Soon' note. This will reinforce to her that you can also look after her in times of need.


#10 Meet the Parents
Introducing your girl to your parents shows her not only that you're pretty serious about her, but also that you're proud of her. It also gives her a good indication of how you get along with your family, a quality that most women find very appealing.


#9 The Boys
Like with any relationship, absence makes the heart grow fonder! While spending time with your girl is great for your relationship, so too is spending a little time apart just to remind yourselves how much you love being together. So why not hang out with the guys every once in a while?


#8 Advice Time
While you may not need (or want) your girl's advice all the time, sometimes it's nice to consult her to make her feel appreciated and wanted. Even if it's just about a small matter, girls love helping their loved ones out.


#7 Let Loose
You don't have to be Mr. Serious all the time! Girls love a guy who they can also relax around and laugh with. So be a little silly from time to time and watch her join in on the clowning around.


#6 Nice & Clean
One of the biggest romance killers is when a partner is messy or just plain lazy when it comes to picking up after themselves. So next time you think about leaving your wet towel on the floor, don't! Every woman loves a man who tries to be neat!


#5 Leave Messages
When you've had a great night or day out with her, why not let her know? Send a quick text or go that extra step and call her. This allows your relationship to blossom into love through a shared appreciation of the time you spend together.


#4 Eyes Have It
When you're talking to your girl, she'll notice how much eye contact you give her, especially as limited contact is a sign that you're bored or uninterested. So maintain that eye contact and she'll love staring into your eyes!


#3 Shining Armor
One of the most attractive qualities to any woman is when a man shows he's a true gentleman. Prove to her that chivalry is not dead by opening the door for her or pulling her seat out for her when you dine out.


#2 Plenty of Compliments
Women put a lot of energy into looking good each day, so pay her compliments often to let her know that you notice her effort. Keep it sincere and she'll love you for it!


#1 All Ears
Woman love good listeners, so provide a listening ear for your girl so she can rant, explain, or muse and she'll be super grateful! Remember not to rush her or give unhelpful advice though.

Impressing The Cute Girl In College

#15 Act Like You Know
Have you heard the saying act like you belong here? Well with college girls, especially upperclassmen many guys feel like they are out of the loop. That is not the case; most college girls are just as clueless as you. Act like you know what you are doing and you will come out on top.


#14 Be a peacock.
Peacocks are excellent examples of how we should act around potential mates. They flaunt their feathers in hopes to attract a females attention. Stand out from the crowd by showing what you are made of.


#13 Become Prince Charming
College girls love men who are honest and chivalrous. Also, treating women with the dignity they deserve will show them you are not some dumb frat bro.


#12 GTL Like There's No Tomorrow
Forget the T and L just do the G. Most colleges have a student gym. Chances are you will run into your crush at the gym. Take the opportunity to show her your guns.


#11 Be The Class Clown
Well, not exactly. Spark some life into boring situations [and hopefully your crush] by cracking a joke here and there. Laughing is a good way to a girls heart. But don't overdo it.


#10 Chivalry Is Dead, So Bring It Back
Although you wouldn't think so, opening the door for the ladies is a good trait and they notice it. Besides looking good for holding the door open you can check where she sits and sit next to her.


#9 Create a Name For Yourself
Make yourself more intriguing by joining a club like Rugby, snowboarding, Fraternities etc. Ladies love it when there is more to a man then meets the eye.


#8 Don't Be a Nerd!
Unless the girl you like has huge spectacles and loves talking about quantum physics don't be a nerd. The truth is most girls like laid back funny guys.


#7 Use your Experience
If you have happen to have a crush on a freshmen then you are in luck! Go up to her and just start talking to her. The first guy she meets randomly in class will probably be her go to guy for the rest of he course.


#6 Do Your Homework
Girls want a guy with a solid head on his shoulders, and a bright future. If you need some help, maybe she can tutor you :)


#5 Try to Randomly bump In To Her
First off let us state that we don't mean to STALK her. If you know where she has class at then we suggest bumping in to her with some of your friends. A social setting will be more relaxed and provide you with a chance to introduce you to her friends. To more she knows about who you, the more likely she is to be attracted to you.


#4 Girls Love Fashion, Remember That!
So answer us this; Why would any girl give you a second look if you only spend a minute fixing yourself up. You don't need to spend hours on yourself but make sure to look presentable.


#3 Ice Breaker Tips 101

How Shy People Flirt

#15 Silent Witness
Shy people will gladly take part in a conversation with their crush, but only as far as listening goes! You might notice that a shy person will never ask questions or delve deeper into your personality or interests - they just simply don't have the courage! Shy people will instead satisfy their curiosity by asking other people about you, or by checking out your social media pages for more information.


#14 Cell Phone Flirting
You probably realize by now that shy people aren't too great with the whole "flirting face-to-face thing". Another trick shy people use to flirt with is their cell phone or computer. They will find it extremely easy to be flirtatious over text message or via a chat session, but as soon as you see them in person they act disinterested or pretend they didn't see you just to avoid any awkwardness.


#13 Favors Galore
Have you got a shy friend who seems to always go out of their way to help you? Looks like this friend might have a little bit of a crush on you! Shy people will often do favors for the person they like, however they will mask these favors as simply "just trying to help out / be nice". To shy people, this is flirting.


#12 The Friends Blanket
Shy people seem so confident and sure of their feelings towards their crush whilst they are with their friends, but then as soon as it's just one-on-one time with their crush, they become all shy again! Shy people will often use their friends as a safety blanket, so if you find they act disinterested or distant while they're alone with you, this just means they find it hard to flirt without the back-up of their friends.


#11 The Laughing Addict
We've all come across someone like this - the person who laughs at absolutely everything! Often this laughter is a nervous laugh from a shy person, who feels that if they laugh at everything their crush says or does, then it will come across as flirting. While happy and bubbly people are often found attractive, laughing at a story of someone's pet getting hit by a car or an equally as sad story will not win you any brownie points!


#10 The Starer
Shy people sometimes even work up the courage to stare at their crush - gasp! The only problem with staring is that it has a 50/50 chance of being successful. Either the person being stared at will think it is a compliment because they find the person staring at them to be quite attractive, or stranger-danger alarm bells will ring in their head and they will find it creepy!


#9 Pearly Whites
Shy people feel as though the safest option for them to show their affection to their crush is simply to smile at them. This is a risk-free move because, lets face it, everyone smiles at everyone these days! Like most flirting options chosen by shy people however, this one is super subtle, and will often go unnoticed.


#8 Bursting With Emotion
Shy people often utilise alcohol as a confidence elixir, and it isn't hard to see why! Suddenly they feel more courageous and silly than they ever have, and you know what this means? They're ready to confess their feelings to you! If a usually shy person suddenly starts being very affectionate or flirtatious with you once they're under the influence of alcohol, then you know they've been crushing on you all along...


#7 Flirting Through Music
Shy people also use the common trick of telling their crush to listen to a particular song, because "it's really cool, you'll probably like it!" Often unknown to the crush, the song will sum up the shy person's feelings and affections towards them. If the crush becomes a little suspicious about the lyrics or meaning of the song, the shy person can simply shrug it off as having "an awesome guitar riff" or "sick drums"..


#6 Stalker Alert!
While some shy people can only work up the courage to send a friend request on Facebook to their crush, others take it a little step further and may come across as being "stalkerish". This often includes multiple 'likes' of photos, statuses, wall posts, etc. The biggest hint that you've got an avid, but shy, fan on your hands? When they like your photos or statuses from years ago...


#5 New Friend Request
The invention of Facebook was an answer to the prayers of many shy people for a number of reasons. Firstly, they're able to simply click a button in order to "friend" their crush. Secondly, once the friend request has been accepted, the shy person is then able to begin what is known as "Flirtbooking" - engaging in the odd 'like' or 'poke' here or there. Sadly, the flirtation does not extend into the real world for those who are extra shy...


#4 Permanent Friend Zone
Ouch, this one is bound to hurt! Often a shy person will achieve the status of finally "being friends" with their crush, however this is where their ambitions end. The shy person will lack the courage to pursue anything more than friends, so "in the friend zone" they will forever stay.


#3 Watch Out, Sarcasm Abounds!
Like flirting, but with the added sting of sarcasm, the shy person often hides behind being cynical or slightly negative when talking to their crush. They try to act cool, intelligent, and even a little bit like a jerk because they lack the courage to just come out and say it: "I like you. A lot". Awkward!


#2 Hide N' Go Seek
Another classic flirting technique of a shy person is known as the childish 'hide and go seek'. This technique is often used as a last resort, when the shy person has given up all hopes of even approaching their crush. You will commonly notice them hiding behind their textbook, or any other object large enough to cover their face.


#1 What Eye Contact?!
That's right - shy people hate eye contact, so you can imagine their dilemma when eye contact is the key ingredient to flirting successfully! Shy people will often do the classic 'quickly look, quickly look away' trick. There are numerous disadvantages to this; firstly, the person they're trying to flirt with won't even pick up on the subtle sign. Secondly, the shy person may look a little strange or suspicious with their eyes continuously darting all over the place!

Why We Love Being Single

Pajamas Can Be Worn All Day, Every Day
Need to go to the grocery store? Pajamas will do. Need to grab a bottle of wine for dinner? Pajamas will do. Need to watch "The Price Is Right"? There's nothing else in the world that pairs with it better than a good old comfy set of sleepwear that's fresh out of the dryer!


No One Judges You When You Dance
When you're a free man or woman, the robot, Macarena or crumping are at your disposal because no one's there to judge your less than mediocre dance skills. Fortunately, that's where bedrooms and shower stalls come in handy.


 You Can Fly Solo On Halloween
Remember Halloween couple costumes? Of course you do. They're the worst thing next to un-sliced bread, but when you fly solo, you can wear than blow-up horse/cowboy costume you've always dreamed of. Do it for the costume, stay single.


 Clothing Optional
"Frank The Tank" learned it the hard way, but when you're tied to someone else, going streaking isn't always aceptable. As all your single friends can tell you, casual nudity is something which shouldn't be taken lightly. Why wear clothes when you can just as easily eat naked?


 You Can Watch Whatever You Want
Tired of fighting for the remote or debating whether re-runs of "Desperate Housewives" are actually better than new episodes of "Mad Men"? Singledom puts the power in your hands, and that my friends, means Friends marathons.


#9 You Can Do The "Single Ladies" Dance And Mean It
Have you ever felt the need to flashmob to the tune of Single Ladies? Of course you have, you're human. But you can only truly "Put A Ring On It" if you're actually single. And no, taking the engagement ring off doesn't apply!


Grooming, what grooming?
Break-ups lead to hibernation which leads to a severe lack of grooming. Meaning that beard you wanted so badly can finally grow on its own. It can also adopt weird quirks like hair dye and Goldfish crackers.


 Fast Food Becomes Your Best Friend
"The Fast Food Binge" - it's a period of time where our taste buds party like it's their birthday and our emotions get flooded by super-sized items. Add in amateur couponing, and life can seem pretty unbelievable for a short ( and unhealthy) period of time.


 You Don't Have To Clean Your Room
When you're single, no one's yelling at you to put away your dirty boxers. And why should it matter? Your're only going to get back in bed and mess everything up again in a few hours, right?


And You Don't Have To Clean Your Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms in a household/dorm and it can often be one of the messiest. In case messes get a little bit out of hand, just take the smart route and say an elephant came by looking for a bottle of Sriracha.


 Bad Hair, Don't Care
In the single world, bad hair days don't exist. Waking up on the wrong side of the bed is "in" and not because of low self-esteem, but mainly because you couldn't care less if you look like Pippi Longstockings or Alfalfa.


Toilets Can Be Up, Down Or Can Use The Force
All the design aspects of your life fall in your own hand, so if you want to wear bunny slippers around the house, you can. And if you want a "Star Wars"-themed toilet seat cover in your bathroom, you can install that quicker than you can say "Millennium Falcon".


 You Can Be Lazy Anytime Of The Day
Really, no one can tell you what to do when you're single, and because of that, you have free reign to be absolutely lazy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Luckily, eating Doritos goes hand-in-hand with doing a whole lot of nothing.

8 SIGNS THAT HE IS A KEEPER

1. HE PUTS YOU FIRST

Does your man constantly put you first? Does he make choices based on you and what you are doing? Does he work around your schedule and really work to accommodate you? Does he even pick out all kinds of your favorite foods just to make sure that you have things to eat? Are you constantly on his mind, always? This is absolutely one of the top signs he is a keeper!

2. HE'S THERE FOR YOU

Is your guy there for you in all aspects of everything? Is he there for you when the times are tough and when you are having emotional problems? If your man is willing to drive from his house to yours at 3:00am, because you had a bad dream, he is absolutely a keeper, girls!

3. HE LIKES YOUR QUIRKS

All of us have quirks. Admit it. You have yours, I have mine and your boyfriend has his. If he appreciates your quirks and actually likes them, then that is actually a sign that he is a keeper! After all, who wouldn't want a guy that loves your quirks and loves every weird thing about you?

4. AFFECTIONATE WITHOUT SHAME

PDA is typically a hot button for most guys, but if your guy is all about the affection, no matter who is around, then he's definitely a keeper. That doesn't mean that you need to go around making out in front of your friends, but still – if he isn't shy to kiss or touch you in public, that's a sign!

5. HE'S VERY KIND

Is he generally kind to other people? Is he someone that would send a watch back if it got sent to him wrongly? Is he the type of guy that would help an older lady go grocery shopping just because? That's definitely a sign, girls! A sign that he is a keeper!

6. VERY CONSISTENT

What about being stable? Is he super stable, totally consistent and he doesn't have a whole lot of ups and downs in his emotions? That's a sign, girls! There are so many girls out there that wish that their guy was super stable and consistent, so keep that in mind!

7. TALK OF THE FUTURE

What about the future? Does he constantly talk about the future? Does he constantly mention marriage and even mention kids someday? Those are all of the signs pointing to him being a keeper. Trust me, it's rare for a guy to want to get married!

In the words of our beautiful Marilyn Monroe: “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” Why would you expect any less? A guy that can handle every one of your mood swings and your insecurities deserves you!

Although guys can be confusing, there are tons of guys that are keepers! So girls, is your guy a keeper? Do you think that he's a keeper? What other signs are out there to prove that he's a keeper?

7 SIGNS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND IS A JERK

If you're in a relationship, you might not be watching out for warning signs that your boyfriend is a jerk to everyone. Love is blind, girls. When I was with a guy, I didn't realize that he was a complete tool, even though my friends and family all saw it! If you have a suspicions that your boyfriend might be one too, you definitely want to take a look at my warning signs that your boyfriend is a jerk!


1. HE IS NARCISSISTIC

Is he obsessed with himself? Does every sentence that comes out of his mouth start with 'I'? This is totally one of the signs that your boyfriend is a jerk, girls! He should care about what is going on with you, not just with him. He should also care about the world around him, not just himself. If the world revolves around your boyfriend, in his mind, it might be because he's a jerk!


2. CONSTANTLY ANNOYED WITH YOU

What about the annoyance factor? Does he constantly say that you are pissing him off and that you are annoying him? That could hurt anybody's feelings but if he doesn't seem to care at all, why be with him? Your boyfriend should be loving and shouldn't be constantly annoyed with you.


3. HE ZONES OUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING

When you are telling him how your day is and what is going on with you, does he constantly zone you out? Does he constantly just block out everything you are saying or have you repeat it because he wasn't listening? That, my dears, is definitely one of the signs that your boyfriend is a jerk.


4. OBSESSES OVER HIS APPEARANCE

Not only is he obsessed with everything about him, but does he constantly obsess over his appearance? Does he comb his hair a million times? Tan over and over again? Obsess over what clothes to wear? That all goes hand in hand with him being a complete jerk, ladies! After all, do you really want a guy that is completely in love with himself?


5. HE CAN'T TAKE A JOKE AT HIS EXPENSE

While he is constantly making fun of you and making jokes at your expense, does he have a really hard time taking a joke at his expense? Even if the joke is totally innocent? That could be a sign that not only is he insecure, but he actually is a moody jerk.


6. HE TALKS DOWN TO EVERYONE

How does he talk to you? How does he talk to everyone? Is he kind in his words? How do you feel after you've talked to him? If you feel smaller than you did before you talked to him, it could be one of the signs that he is a complete jerk. Your boyfriend should make you feel good – not like you are 2 inches tall!


7. CHECKS OUT OTHER GIRLS IN FRONT OF YOU

Finally girls, if the guy that you are dating is constantly checking out other girls, constantly looking at other people right in front of you, that's the classic sign that he is a jerk! He should be focused on you and you should have most of his attention because that's really disrespectful.

So girls, how did your guy measure up? Is your boyfriend a classic jerk? Does he carry any of these signs? I know that the guy I was with oh-so-long ago certainly did!

9 CLEAR SIGNS A GUY IS BLOWING YOU OFF

There are lots of signs a guy is blowing you off, but you might not realize them all. If you've ever had your crush say that he was too busy to see you or if you've ever had had your guy friend tell you that he was going to call you back and didn't, it could be a sign your guy is blowing you off! So girls, you ready to be able to tell when you are being blown off? Below, I've got the top 9 signs a guy is blowing you off!

1. NEVER ANSWERS HIS PHONE

One clear sign a guy is blowing you off that a lot of women actually overlook is when a man never, ever answers his phone. Do you constantly find yourself getting his voicemail? Have you gone to voicemail directly without the phone even ringing? That's a sign ladies and one that you should take seriously! This is especially true if it's your crush or even your boyfriend!


2. TOO BUSY TO GO OUT WITH YOU

If your crush is constantly stating that he is just too busy to make plans or that he is too busy to go to dinner or a movie with you, it could be a clear sign he is blowing you off. Ladies, if a guy really likes you, he'll make time for you and make sure that he gets in touch with you. You should never be waiting on a guy and shouldn't have to worry if he is going to be too busy to hang out with you.


3. NEVER CONFIRMS PLANS

Another tell-tale sign a guy is blowing you off is that he never, ever confirmed plans with you. He might not state that he is busy, but he is constantly telling you that he has to check his schedule or that he has to make sure that he is free. He never allows himself to confirm plans on the spot or even at a later date!


4. NEVER READY TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Have you been hanging out with a guy that you thought liked you, but he keeps stating that he is just not ready to be in a relationship, that he is not ready to have a girlfriend? Well girls, that could be a clear sign your guy is blowing you off. He might just not be ready to be in a relationship with you or maybe, he just doesn't like you that way. Remember that you've got to consider that option too!


5. TALKS ABOUT OTHER GIRLS ALL THE TIME

Does your crush constantly talk about girls to his friends? Does he constantly discuss how hot that girl from last night was? This alone could be a clear sign your guy is blowing you off and maybe just doesn't want to admit that he just isn't into you. No guy, who is really interested in a girl is going to constantly be talking about other girls.


6.HE 'CHECKS IN' ON FACEBOOK WITH OTHER GROUPS OF FRIENDS

So let's say that you've made plans with your guy and he's finally confirmed. The night of the date, he cancels and then later, you see him checking in using Facebook or FourSquare with some of his other friends. That's a sign he is blowing you off girls! After all, why wouldn't he want to invite you?


7. IF HE CALLS BACK, IT TAKES OVER 24 HOURS

Let's say that you've called the guy you like multiple times to confirm plans or even just to talk, if it takes over 24 hours for the guy to even get in touch with you via text, Facebook or by calling, it can be a sign he is blowing you off! How long do you typically wait to call your crush back if he does manage to call you? Right away typically? If the guy likes you, he'll find a way to get in touch with you, quickly!


8. HE ONLY CALLS YOU FIRST WHEN HE'S DRUNK

Are you constantly the one that is making the effort and always the one that calls first? Well girls, that could be a sign that he's just blowing you off. Maybe, once in a while, he does call, but it always seems when he needs a ride or when he is completely wasted and he is drunk dialing. That's not a good sign girls!


9. HE LEAVES YOU WONDERING

Finally girls, the last sign he is blowing you off can all boil down to him leaving you wondering about his actions, leaving you wondering if he does like you, if he does care at all about you. If a guy wants you, you'll know it and you shouldn't ever be left wondering.

Now that you know all of the signs he is blowing you off, you'll now be able to spot it! So girls, have you ever experienced any of these signs a guy is blowing you off? Share your experiences below!

8 LOVE TIPS FOR FACEBOOK WHEN IN A RELATIONSHIP

If you've ever been in a relationship that has went haywire because you didn't have the right love tips for Facebook, you've got to take a look below. You might not believe me when I say that there are tons of love tips for Facebook and rules for things you can do and things you can't do on Facebook, but there are. These love tips can actually save your relationship and make sure that you don't overstep any boundaries. After all, why would you want to put yourself at risk just because of a social media website?
1. DON'T FLAUNT A FIGHT ON FACEBOOK

Vague statuses, statuses that make people believe you are in a fight or are pointedly directed at your partner are not right. Love tips for Facebook should all start with this rule – because why pull people into your fight? Why pull people into something they have no business being in? Leave the fights and vague statues off of Facebook girls, you'll be better off!


2. THE STATUS MATTERS

Believe it or not, we are actually in a technology age and the status of your relationship actually matters. After all, you wouldn't want your boyfriend in a relationship with an ex on Facebook right? The status matters and if you are stating single on Facebook, why be in a relationship? What are you looking for?


3. DELETE PHOTOS OF OLD PARTNERS

Another great love tip for Facebook is all about deleting old photos of your ex. Girls, you wouldn't want him to have old photos of his ex on his Facebook account would you? So why do you have those? Delete those and replace them with a bunch of pictures of the two of you!


4. CAREFUL WHEN TAGGING PHOTOS

Guys, this one is for you! You always want to be careful whenever you are tagging your girlfriend in a photo. Make sure that she knows that she is pretty or that it is a good photo of her. You never, ever want to tag her in something that she isn't comfortable in or that she doesn't think that she looks pretty in.


5. ONLINE AFFECTION IS A MUST

Does your girlfriend or boyfriend post all over your wall and yet you don't see them responding or even reading it? Online affection is a huge part of a relationship nowadays and even if you aren't a huge Facebook fan, if your partner is, you've got to give it up and show them some affection online!


6. UNFRIEND EXES

Why, I ask you honestly, why do you need to be friends with your ex? Do you need to see him or her with another person? If you can, unfriend your ex so that not only can you move on, but so that your current boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't flip out if you happen to like something of theirs or if they like something of yours.


7. DON'T START A FIGHT ON FACEBOOK

Never, ever, ever start a fight on Facebook. These are stupid and truthfully, you'll end up pulling in opinions that you never wanted to pull in. Girls, if you are feeling antsy or if you are getting mad, don't immediately jump on Facebook and start to post about it.


8. TALK ABOUT MISCOMMUNICATIONS

Finally, if there are any miscommunications in your relationship, why not talk them out instead of going back and forth on Facebook? Just remember, you are still in a relationship and that means that you've got to talk things out. It's worth it in the end girls.

So, there you have it! All of my love tips when it comes to Facebook and how you should be using Facebook. Remember – you've just got to be respectful. So, what other tips do you have? Shout out in the comments!

7 WAYS TO STOP AN ON-OFF RELATIONSHIP

A lot of people don't believe that there are ways that you can learn on how to stop an on off relationship. On again and off again relationships are difficult to deal with, especially if you are really in love with the person that you are having the relationship with. Learning how to stop an on off relationship is not going to be easy, but it is something that needs to be done, especially if you want to either move on or stick with your ex.

1. PAY ATTENTION TO SIGNS

When you are learning how to stop an on off relationship, you've got to pay attention to the signs of your relationship going downhill again. The signs could be you constantly feel like you need to nag or that your boyfriend or girlfriend is constantly getting on your nerves. Truthfully, an on again and off again relationship is difficult to deal with, but if you watch out for the signs, most likely you'll see if you want to be with your boyfriend or girlfriend!


2. ASSESS YOUR OWN NEEDS

When you are in this type of relationship, you've really got to assess your needs and what you want out of a relationship. Do you think that your ex is someone that you can be with forever? Are their flaws something that you can live with? Do you want to live with them?


3. LEARN TO NEGOTIATE

If you do decide to work it out, you've got to learn to negotiate with your partner, you've got to learn to lay down the law and let them know that you are not doing this on and off again thing, but rather you want something real and something permanent.


4. FIND WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Having an on again and off again relationship can all boil down to your and your partner not finding a way to work together on even the smallest things. It can cause resentment if you are constantly the one that is doing the dishes and your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't do them with you or ever. Remember, you've got to find a way to work together.


5. EXPECT CONFLICT

Conflict is going to happen in any relationship, but in on again and off again relationships, it seems to happen more and more. The reason? Because you've already walked away once, twice or five times. With every relationship, if you've walked away a ton, it can be easy to do so when there is conflict. Remember though, even in the best of relationships, there is conflict.


6. DON'T BE IMPULSIVE

While conflict might happen, you've got to remember that you don't want to be impulsive. Just because both of you are having a fight or you get frustrated with your partner, doesn't mean that you suddenly need to end it or start making the fight worse by throwing up the past.


7. AVOID 'ALWAYS' AND 'NEVER'

Finally, one of the biggest things that I learned when I went to therapy in regards to relationships, especially the on and off again relationships is the fact that there is a lot of black and white. 'He never does this' or 'She always does this,' avoid those statements and live in the gray a little!

So, while there are never going to be times where you can completely forget an on again and off again relationship, you can learn how to recognize it. Have you ever been in an on and off again relationship?

10 WAYS TO LET SOMEONE KNOW YOU LIKE THEM

So you've found that cute guy, made eye contact and suddenly do your make up before you get on the train...It’s time to let him know you like him! You don’t have to risk embarrassment by telling him how you feel direct, instead here are my top ten ways to subtly show him you like him...

1. MAKE EYE CONTACT AND SMILE!

Not only will smiling show that you are friendly and fun, it’ll also get him wondering what you’re smiling about! Catch his eye, count to three and look away. This will create an intimate bond between you, and he’ll soon be wondering how he can make you smile. Just be careful not to stare!  There's a whole art of flirting with your eyes.  Practice at home in front of the mirror.  Look yourself in the eye, close your eyes and then turn your gaze away slowly moving your head to the side.  Or vice versa, looking somewhere in the distance, close your eyes and open them looking directly in the eye of the other person (or yourself, when practicing).  Do it slowly.  It's a very sexy move, so it'll definitely catch his attention.

2. TOUCH HIM!
Brush against him while getting on the train, touch his arm when you’re talking to him...find ways to touch him while you are talking. This is another way to create an instant bond, and it makes you seem much more friendly! Make sure your touches are light and soft, and he won’t be able to think about anything else...

3. REMEMBER THINGS!
So he told you his mum’s name, what he’s got her for Christmas and when his dog’s birthday is. Remember this! You can then drop it into conversation, and he’ll be flattered that you remember, and instantly closer to you. Share in his life! The more he opens up to you, the closer to you he will feel.  But make sure you do not get stuck in the friend zone.  Once he starts telling you about his girl problems, it might be time to let him know you want to be more than friends in a less secluded way.

4. ASK HIM THINGS!
Where is his favourite restaurant? What team does he support? Who would he love to see play live? Not only can you find things you have in common, and possibly arrange a date, you’ll have all the information you need to get the most amazing presents.   And you know what they say, people simply enjoy when other people want to know more about them, ask them questions.  It makes them feel good.  So why not to use this little trick on your sweetheart?

5. TEASE!
Laugh at his fluffy hair, or him having coffee round his mouth...it may be childish, but it works! Tease him gently, and he’ll find you endearing, and want revenge. My best friend met her boyfriend by teasing him about almost missing the plane, he tickled her back and by the end of the flight it was love...  Oh, teasing, when done right, it can do miracles!  So many couples started like that, you have no idea!  So why not you?

6. GIVE HIM YOUR FULL ATTENTION!
It is often really hard for men to realize when we are interested, so you have to give him as many hints as possible. When you are talking to him, give him your full attention. Don’t text, and maintain eye contact. Laugh at anything that’s funny, and make sure you’re listening so you can comment back. As well as being subconsciously flattering, he’ll feel close to you, and he’ll eventually realize you like talking to him.

7. MEET HIS FRIENDS!
Getting involved in his life will make the transition from friend to girlfriend especially easy, so meet his friends if you can, and charm them all. But make sure you act slightly differently to him, or he might just think you’re a flirt, and not realize that you like him!  Ever so often, look at him.  And even when someone else is talking, look up at your special someone, so that they know that you are definitely interested in them.  Trying to be close is another way to show that you like the person.

8. LOOK GOOD!
While you don’t want to seem vain, make sure you’re looking good when you see him. Enhance your natural features and smile allot, and you can be sure that he’ll think you’re beautiful.  I know there are many girls who object to wearing makeup, but well done hair and a bit of skillfully applied mascara, foundation and lip gloss go a long way.  As do the smoothness of your skin and the smell of a nice perfume.  Make sure your nails and toe nails are in check and use some hand cream to make your skin irresistible to his touch.

9. CONFIDENCE!
This one is important. You’re looking great, you’re talking to him and touching him...do it with confidence! Being confident instantly makes you come across as sexy and fun, and he’ll find it irresistible. If you aren't a confident person, fake it! It’ll come naturally once you've practiced a few times.  Some people confuse rudeness with confidence.  So what I really mean here - is walking and sitting up straight, smiling nicely, talking in a relaxed confident tone - not too loud yet not too quiet.  Practice a bit in front of the mirror and you'll see what I mean.  Or just imagine you are your favorite celebrity (for me it's Monica Bellucci and Gisele Bundchen) and walk and talk with the confidence they'd walk and talk.  And see how it works for you.

10. KEEP YOUR EYE OUT!

So you might have found the cutie you like for now, but don’t forget about everyone else while you’re seducing him. You might find someone much cuter, and it never hurts to have a back up plan!

So now you've got a sure fire way of showing him you like him, he should soon be asking you out! Watch his body language, and see how he responds to your flirting. This will give you a huge hint as to whether the feeling is mutual...and if it is, invite him out! There’s nothing sexier than a girl whose confident enough to make the first move.
