| Falling Out of Love |
| Monday, April 16, 2007 |
Okay so we all know falling in love is a wonderful thing. So how exactly do you fall out of love? How is it that everything that seemed so special, so wonderful, so perfect, turned into a freaking train wreck? In a split second life has gone from living in bliss to calling in damage control.
Where there certainly may not be a tried and true method, for sure keeping mementos be they pictures, clothing, phone numbers, emails, voice mails, all of the aforementioned relationship paraphernalia is a definite way to keep you held back in the past. All of these items piece by piece need to be dumped. Better yet, you need to burn what you can burn, but do it safely. I was informed by a friend when going through a breakup how necessary it is to have a funeral for a relationship. Yes a funeral. Her instructions were to gather the goods, put them in a container of sort, burn them and then bury the ashes. And no she is not a witch. In fact she said to say a prayer over this act and ask God to watch over the person and send the ex loved one to his or her highest possible good. After that take it a day at a time but move on.
The only way to heal is to go through the pain. That is the only way to get to the other side. It may hurt, sting, burn and make you have extremely evil thoughts and urges, but the fact is the only way to get to the other side is to go through it. After this process, you will find yourself with a new state of mind, heart and tolerance level. Sometimes an encounter with the pains of a relationship gone bad, can be a life changing experience. And let me just say I have a whole new respect for tears. Crying is one of the most freeing and cleansing experiences in this world. I know guys you are saying, "Men don't cry." Yes they do. But, I won't tell if you don't.
The strange thing about pains of the heart is that an individual seems to grow and see more clearly for the next encounter. Yes I know, at some point and time we all say, "there won't be another." Sure there will. Why deprive yourself as a human? This next time around however just like the beacon on a jet, your beacon will be lit, sensitive and ready as will be your radar. You will not compromise your well being and your heart because your radar will be attuned to your new thought process. Your senses will be more keen and astute and you will be less likely to make a decision that is not thought out. Of course before moving forward you will reflect back on the last encounter gone bad, and that's fine. Note I said reflect, not relive. The reliving thing is self torture, so throw that act the deuce and move on.
As much as we would like it to be, love, like relationships is not a simple thing. Just by the nature of the dynamics, it is complicated. Is there a way to prevent the hurt and pain of falling out of love? I don't know of one. If you know a way, bottle it, copyright it and market it. I guarantee you will be the next Bill Gates. My experience is all you can do is be a soldier, take your bullets and deal with it. But once that's done you come out kick ass strong and ready to deal with a whole new world, whole new game.
What I learned from my experience is that when you are torn down to your lowest point, I am talking being able to sit on the curb and swing your feet, this is when you are met with your greatest challenges. You find out exactly what you are made of. And I know for a fact that "God doesn't make junk." This is an opportunity to reach self-empowerment beyond all realms. But you have to pay attention, wake up, and move the trash out of your head, so that you are receptive to the new incoming thoughts and signals. People, we block our own good by allowing trash in our minds. We have to learn to control our thought process because what we think about is eventually what we bring into our lives. Now stroll down memory lane in your life and tell me if this is true.
Easier said than done. Been there done that. I think those are definitely good ways to start the subconscious to moving forward, but do I have to burn the shirt with his scent in it that I loved to sleep in so much? Not only yes, but burn it quickly. Burn it. Burn it! Burn it! Burn it! Is there an easy way to move on? If you know of one please share with the rest of us. The fact is even when you hate someone, if in your heart you loved him or her, you know it is still hard to let go. The love hate relationship is the hardest to get over but it can be done with time.
So what is the magic answer? Time. That's it, time and commitment to move on, to begin a new life, to do new things and meet new people. Make a commitment to yourself to not look back and go back to that same situation. Don't give this person anymore of yourself than you already have. You deserve better. More importantly realize that only time heals. Use this time to become the best person that you can be. The person can't be replaced, the love felt in that relationship can't be duplicated. Recognize your energies were specific to your relationship. So that being said, the chances of jumping into a new relationship that will honestly work are nil. That is not a fix to the problem. Unfortunately you have to suck it up and take the pain, go through it and create a new balance in your world. This way when you do meet the one worthy of you, you are rid of your trash and toxins.Labels: Falling Out of Love |

| Proposing to Someone Special You Love |
| Thursday, April 12, 2007 |
Proposing to your loved one can be fun - planning the surprise, making the arrangements - and then finally popping the question. However, before you drop a ring in his champagne, make sure you stand a fighting chance of him saying 'yes'. Here are a few ways of ensuring that he jumps up in joy when you pop the question...
When to Propose
1) The relationship's great; you sense equal commitment on both sides and you have all the skills to make a further commitment really work.
2) You yourself have the energy to create a brilliant event to make your engagement. You'd love to do it, and love to see your beloved's face when you pop the question.
3) You've both discussed marriage and established a basic agreement that you're up for it. Actually, the proposal is a formality - you both know that whoever makes it, the answer will be yes.
How to do Propose your Love
1) A great proposal should be memorable. You want to feel good whenever you remember it - and be able to tell the story to your children and grandchildren.
2) A memorable proposal also needs to be based on knowledge of your partner and what he or she would truly like. As you're making all the decisions here, make them with him in mind - however tempted you are to fulfil your own romantic fantasies!
3) A great proposal is enjoyable. Men in particular can get emotionally overwhelmed - so avoid situations where he might feel vulnerable. Proposing in the middle of a Brazil - France football match is probably not a good idea! ;-)
Most Romantic Ways to Propose to Him
Make him feel special
Where to propose? Take him to his favourite restaurant. Request his special song to be played and order his favourite food.
Get him in a romantic mood
Invite him to your place and treat him to the best single malt. Make sure you are dressed in your sexy best. And you shouldn't be disturbed by unwelcome calls.
Catch him in the right spirit
When to propose? Don't propose to him on a day when he's had it bad at work. Or say, he's upset about something. Gauge his mood and only then go ahead.
Give him subte hints
It's best to let him know of your intention in advance. But do it subtly. Say for example, tell him, you need to talk to him about something important. It shouldn't come as a surprise.
Say it with confidence
Don't beat about the bush or show your nervousness. Look into his eyes and say it with confidence. He'll love you even more for that.
Avoid Overdoing
Don't show your desparation. Otherwise you might lose the guy.
Be prepared for the worst
That is if it doesn't go the way you thought it would. Just don't cry before him.
All set? My good lucks to you.

| Romantic Easter Ideas |
| Friday, April 6, 2007 |
Easter marks new beginnings... the new beginnings of spring, life, and your relationship. Here are several unique ways to add romance to your Easter. Chocolate Egg Surprises For this idea you buy a hollow chocolate egg and insert your own toy, gift, or message. I would get one of the larger ones and cut it in half very carefully so that the whole egg doesn’t break. Placing the egg in a paper towel will prevent chocolate melting all over your hands. Then you add your little toy, gift, or message inside. To seal the egg back together: take melted chocolate and paste it on the two broken pieces and then put the egg in the freezer so that it will stick together. Once chilled, wrap it up and what a wonderful surprise! 
Send this Easter Love eCard !Easter Egg Hunt Stay up later than your sweetie the night before Easter. Have them hunt around for plastic eggs filled with love notes, candy, etc. When they are down to the last few, give them a hint to one they might have forgotten. (Hide this one really well!) Have the last one decorated extra special and have the ring, or some other special token, inside! This would make for a perfect proposal. Lily of the Valley or CarnationsBuy or pick some lily of the valley or carnation flowers, which are white and put the stems of them in food-colored water. The veins turn the color of the water. Perhaps using his/her favorite color would be a nice idea. It shows that you love them and took the time to make them. They will change color overnight. Many men will say it is the first time someone bought them flowers.
Send this Easter Love eCard !Romantic Easter Basket Cut out 50 to 100 egg shapes from lace doilies, construction paper, or fabric. On each cutout, record something about her/him that you love. Be specific, "The way you smell when you come to bed at night," "The way you take care of me when I'm sick," "Your recipe for pancakes"... And fill a basket with them and have your sweetheart pull a new one out everyday. This is kind of romance that softens everyone’s heart. Guest Blogger: Jayne Fisher Labels: Romantic Easter Ideas |

| Why you fall in love? |
| Wednesday, April 4, 2007 |
In some relationships, arguments always seem one sided - with one partner making all the noise as the other quietly calms the storm. It's possible they both have a problem expressing their feelings, but together they're able to reassure each other that emotions are being managed. Different couples will experience it in different ways, but that inexplicable feeling of wholeness you have when you're together is what Henry Dicks, a guru in relationship psychotherapy, called the 'unconscious fit'.
Unconscious fit
All of us carry with us a psychological blueprint, holding details about our life experiences and the marks they've left. It contains information we often haven't acknowledged about our fears and anxieties and our coping mechanisms and defences.
Each of us has an unconscious capacity to scan another person's blueprint. The people we're most attracted to are those who have a blueprint that complements our own. We're looking for similarities of experience but, more significantly, we're also looking for differences.
Send this eCard !
Opposites attract
The purpose of this unconscious fit is to find someone who can complement our experiences. That might be someone who's the same as us, but most commonly we're looking for someone from whom we can learn; someone who has developed coping mechanisms that are different from our own.
The ideal partner will be someone who has struggled with similar life issues, but has developed another way of managing it. It seems that our other half is often our best chance of becoming psychologically whole.
Although no two relationships are ever the same, psychologists have noticed that there are some common types of unconscious fit. Do you recognize any of these?
Parent and child - this type of couple often has shared issues with dependency and trust. One partner copes with those issues by behaving in a childlike way. Their hidden belief is that if they remain insecure, dependent and needy their partner will look after them. Their partner takes on the role of parent and by doing so is able to deny their own needs for dependency as they're acted out by the other.
Send this eCard !
Master and slave - this couple has a problem with authority and control. One partner may feel very insecure if they're ever subordinate, so they're bossy and take charge of every household circumstance. Their partner, who fears responsibility, dutifully toes the line while smugly comparing what they describe as their laid-back attitude to their partner's control-freak attitude.
Distancer and pursuer - both partners are afraid of intimacy but have found their perfect match. The unspoken agreement is that one of them will keep chasing and nagging the other one for more intimacy while the other runs away. Occasionally the chase will swap round.
Idol and worshipper - when one partner insists on putting the other on a pedestal, this often indicates an issue with competition. To avoid any form of comparison, both partners unconsciously agree to play this game.
There are two other common types of fit based on finding a partner who has a similar problem and a similar way of coping.
Send this eCard !
Babes in the wood - you may have seen this couple around. They look alike and often wear matching sweaters. They share the same interests and, more importantly, they dislike the same things. They keep anything bad out of their perfect relationship by joining forces against the big, bad world outside.
Cat and dog - on the surface these partners look as though they should never have even met. They argue incessantly over anything. They both avoid intimacy by living in a war zone.
You may see elements of your relationship in all of these types. As we progress through our relationships, it's not uncommon to slip into a certain pattern of behavior. For example, in a time of illness and vulnerability you may act out the parent and child model, while many couples become like babes in the wood following the birth of a child.
Send this eCard !
Good or bad chemistry?
All fits serve a psychological purpose designed to protect ourselves from discomfort. Most couples aren't aware of their fit until something happens to change it. We all grow and mature, our needs change and our relationships need to adapt to those changes.
Problems may start when one or both partners feel they are no longer able to communicate their feelings and alter patterns of behavior that are now outdated.
Hope this article helps to understand your relationship with your partner much better.Labels: Why you fall in love |

| Celebrating Great Lover’s Day!! |
| Monday, April 2, 2007 |
 Have you heard of Great lover's Day? It falls on April 2nd every year. Every body knows about Valentine's Day, but few seem to be aware of Great lover's Day. I sometimes wonder that lovers need a day everyday to celebrate. Because when one falls in romantic love, one wants love at every moment. One wants to be with his/her darling at every moment. Since celebrating such days with flowers is becoming common, I was thinking about how lovers can celebrate such days with something from the Internet. And I thought, why not desktop wallpapers that are designed around the theme of love? Please look at some of these Desktop Wallpapers on Love .
Here are my reasons. What does a lover want from his/her darling? A message of love and an assurance that love is being reciprocated in. What else? Something that can remind the lover at all times of his/her darling, and feel the love. Enjoy the romantic moments and the bliss of love. What can be better than desktop wallpaper on love?
