How to Tell He’s Ready For Marriage
Sep 02, 2010 Comments
Single guys are alike in so many ways, and when it comes to commitment the similarities are scary. While there are anomalies here and there, for the most part, men are largely afraid of marriage, but then they are suddenly at the point where they really want it. When that point comes, the signs are so often the same.
One clear sign has to do with including you in all of his future plans. Whether he’s talking about living somewhere, or traveling somewhere, once he starts talking about the future and including you in that future, it’s a huge tell tale sign that he’s ready to pop the question. Even if he doesn’t realize it, and he may not, it shows that he thinks of you as always being there.
Something else you’ll find is that he’ll pay a lot of attention to your needs. This happens early in the relationship, sure, but it’s after some time has gone by, when he really knows you, that concern for your needs really shows. He’ll think ahead to ensure you will be comfortable in any situation you end up in. Planning to travel with him? See what steps he takes in this regards, because that’s where it will show the most.
When he’s at the point of always being available for you, it’s also a nice sign. Remember at the start of your relationship when he wasn’t always there? Back then you had to plan ahead for dates, but now the time together is just assumed and you start planning as you go along. This is a great sing for those of you waiting to find that ring in a box.
It’s said though, when you think the ring is coming but it never does. We all know people who’ve felt that disappointment. Let us know what you think about all of this, and whether you agree with these points or whether you think they’ll mislead people. Just click the comments link below and share your thoughts.

More Things a Good Boyfriend Will Never Do
Aug 31, 2010 Comments
There are some things guys ask of their girlfriends that are strange. Then there are things that just shouldn’t be asked. If your boyfriend is a good guy, and really knows his stuff, these things will never ever come up. A good boyfriend wouldn’t expect any of this from you.
Ask you to hang out with his ex – There’s something strange about those exes, especially the ones that linger around. Jealousy is never good, but there are still occasions where lines should be drawn, and this is a fair one. A good guy won’t put you in a situation where you have to hang out with and be all nicey nice with his ex.
Declare your love on Facebook – Okay, so a good guy may want you to do this, but only because he’s too ignorant to get how wrong this is for a lot of people out there. Facebook does not need to know your relationship status, and he has no business saying that it does. That said, if you advertise “single,” at least take that down.
Wake him up before… – You’re a girlfriend, not a wake up service. If he has to be up for something and needs to finish his nap in time, tell him to get an alarm clock. That’s not your job. However, offering to be his wakeup call now and then could be fun, provided you aren’t actually using the phone to wake him up.
Know how the team is doing – Sports may be his thing, but they don’t have to be yours. While you should show interest here and there in the things he likes, if he asks and expects you to actually know what’s going on with the team he likes, walk away. Being nice and pretending to care are two different things.
Think back to your last relationship. Were there little things like this your boyfriend tried to get you to do that didn’t sit well with you? Did you do them? Add a comment by clicking the link below, and let us know what you think.
Until Next Time,

Little Things That Score Big Points
Aug 31, 2010 Comments
It’s the little things in a relationship that do it. It’s the little thing that score us the most points when it comes to winning women over, keeping them and turning them on. Big gestures are great, sure, but anyone can do those. It’s these smaller things that we all lose track of and so, when remembered, lave a really big impact.
Pour a bath – Not just any bath, of course. This is a bath for two, complete with all the trimmings. If you don’t know what the trimmings are, swing by a little beauty shop and ask. You’ll need bath salts, oils and something pretty smelling to burn. It may not be your cup of tea, but then, a cup of tea might not be either. Still, it will make you look like superman.
Take her on a date – Yes, a date. Not just dinner, and not just a movie. Take her on a date like the ones you used to go on when you first met. It doesn’t have to be big and fancy. It just has to have the air of courtship, and it will make her feel like a million bucks.
Dance – You don’t have to go to a club or a ball to dance. You can just dance right where you are. Next time you’re in the mall and hear a good song, or passing by a street performing strumming the guitar, pull her close and dance a little. It’s the kind of thing normally reserved for romance movies, so you know it’s the kind of thing she’ll eat up.
Steal her away for lunch – Dinner is easy, you’re both free for that all the time. Tomorrow, swing by her work and take her out for lunch. Spontaneity wins over planned adventures anytime, so give this a shot. Of course, you know, she may already have plans, so maybe do a little snooping first, or be prepared for “another time.”
What little things do you do in relationships to keep the magic alive? Everyone has their secrets, but it’s time to fess up. Add a comment by clicking the link below and let us know what it is you do to make the fires burn. Or, have you yet to come up with your own little tricks?

If You Have a Good Boyfriend, He Won’t Ever…
Aug 31, 2010 Comments
There are some things that a good boyfriend will never do. Sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but if these things happen in the course of your relationship, you may want to stand back and question just what exactly is going on. Remember, you’re his girlfriend, not his maid, secretary or anything else.
He’ll never ask you to do his laundry – Look, a good guy won’t dump laundry on you and ask or expect you to do it. That’s just not couth. He can offer to do yours now and then though. Nothing wrong with that, right?
He won’t ask you to do his shopping – A good boyfriend won’t ask you to do his shopping. This includes getting his groceries, picking up new socks, or choosing a gift that he has to give someone, even though your name goes nowhere on the card. These things reek of laziness or even ineptness. Do you do these things for boyfriends? You guys should have a conversation.
He’ll never ask you to make his breakfast – This is one of those things that you should be offering to do for each other. You shouldn’t be doing it as a chore. In fact, have you ever seen him make his own breakfast, or any meal for that matter? Step away from the fridge, and let him give it a whirl.
He won’t ever ask you to… change – A boyfriend loves you for you. Why would he want you to change? This includes the “you should lose weight” comment that’s been known to crop up now and then. Let’s not confuse concern for you health with being a jerk, but chances are, this kind of move is all about him being a jerk.
What’s the dumbest thing a boyfriend ever asked of you? Better still, what things have you done for boyfriends that you wish you hadn’t? Share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment below, and let’s see where this conversation takes us.
Until Next Time,

Five Romantic Things to Make a Woman Smile
Aug 31, 2010 Comments
We all want to impress the women we date, but how do we do this? In the end, you’ll find that it’s mostly about doing the cliché things, and that’s okay. Clichés became clichés for a reason, and while it may feel cheesy from an outsider’s view, from the receiver’s perspective these silly things are still romantic as ever.
Send poems and limericks – You don’t have to be a great poet. Just send her an occasional email or text message that rhymes. Roses are red, violets are blue, I find myself sitting here, thinking of you. See how easy that is? If it’s great, you’re golden. If it’s awful, you’re adorable. You can’t lose.
Leave her a note before you leave her place – Spent the night at a woman’s place? Want her to know you really care? Leave a note on the mirror or a sticky note on her coffee mug. Sweet and simple, have it say you had a great time, you’ll be thinking of her, or that you can’t wait to see her again.
Skip the high dining and go on a picnic – Picnics are easy dates and romantic ones at that. You just have to find a nice secluded spot on a nice day. Make sure you tell her the plan ahead of time so she can dress for the occasion, but otherwise do the legwork yourself. There’s just something about the inherent mood of a picnic that screams romance.
Flowers at random – Flowers are great on nice occasions, but they are better at the spur of the moment. Next time you see flowers for sale, grab a bunch and give them to her. Is it some kind of innate reaction that women swoon for flowers? I’ll never know, but they do.
Call to say goodnight – When you’re deep into a relationship, this will likely happen if you like it or not. When you are at the start of a relationship and want it to get more serious, this sort of thing becomes a romantic gesture. Just call to say goodnight, nothing else, and see what happens. It lets them know you’re the last thing you think about before you go to sleep. Aw.
What romantic gestures have you made for women in the past, and did they work? If you can’t think of any, we may have an answer as to why you’re here reading a singles blog. Next time you’re in a relationship, these are the things that help solidify things.
Until Next Time,
