Should you take Valentine’s Day seriously? Or just write it off as another commercial excuse for retailers, jewelers and florists to up their prices for a day?

Does your man treat you romantically every day? Or is he just a miserable unromantic mean spirited git? There is a difference between the bloke who does not buy into the whole Valentine’s Day gift idea, and the man who is just naturally mean spirited. For example, the man who does not believe in Valentine’s Day flowers may not present you with a bunch of red roses on the 14th of February, but will present you with gorgeous flowers on other occasions. The mean spirited git does neither.

The man who does not believe in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day may write you a Valentine’s Day poem instead of buying you a Valentine’s Day card. Or, he may send you a romantic little text on your cell phone. The miserable bastard does nothing, but still assumes he will be getting “some” because it is Valentine’s Day. This selfish man also never says “No” to any romantic gift ideas that come his way.

The financially challenged fellow can still make an effort on Valentine’s Day if he thinks about it. Cheap Valentine’s Day gift ideas include home made cards, poems, nice massages, and indulgent, mind blowing sex. The unromantic bastard does not bother with any of these options. His idea of Valentine’s Day is getting a blow job off you in front of the sports ( in the commercials would be better).

If your man is genuinely morally opposed to romantic Valentine’s day gifts he will not mind in the slightest if you do not reciprocate this year. In fact, he will probably heave a sigh of relief. This is fine when you are both uncomfortable with the concept of love tokens on Valentine’s Day.

Answer these fun questions to see whether you should be thinking about trading him in:

1. Does he treat you:
a. like a maid.
b. like a princess.
c. a bit of both, depending on whether he wants some sex.

2. For your birthday does he:
a. forget.
b. indulge your every whim.
c. buy a card and a bunch of carnations from the corner store.

3. For your anniversary does he:
a. forget.
b. arrange romantic and over the top events.
c. take you to dinner if you give him plenty of warning.

4. Is your sex life:
a. long gone.
b. you are still swinging from the chandeliers.
c. still evident on special occasions.

5. Does he ever surprise you?
a. never.
b. constantly.
c. once in a while.

6. Will he watch a chick flick with you?
a. never, unless he is asleep.
b. happily.
c. only after 6 beers.

7. Is his idea of a good time:
a. the remote in one hand, a beer, and the sports channel.
b. doing something with you.
c. depends on whether he feels like some sex.

8. At Christmas he:
a. grumbles “Bah Humbugs!”
b. enthusiastically participates and buys you a fantastic gift.
c. gets something at the last moment and will have sex if he has drunk enough eggnog.

Results.
Mostly a’s.  Your man is a miserable unromantic bastard and you should trade him in. This man is treating you like an unpaid maid.

Mostly b’s.  This is either a new relationship or you have hit the jackpot. Hang on to your man!

Mostly c’s.  Welcome to the real world. The honeymoon is over. Your man means well, but could do with the occasional shake up.

We gals have been brain washed to a certain degree into believing that a man’s love is directly proportional to the amount he spends on Valentine’s Day. This certainly suits the retailers of the world to have us thinking this. Yes, it is fantastic to receive a little “I Love You” token on the 14th of February, but this is certainly a day where “it is the thought that counts” can come into play.

Some guys do not like the thought of the commercialism of Valentine’s Day gifts. This can be fine if they choose to show their love for you in other ways on various other days. Beware of the fellow who never demonstrates his love for you. This type of guy forgets your birthday and anniversary, and only seems to be hanging around for the meal and laundry service. If this describes your man, get rid of him with the trash, which you probably put out.

If your man seriously needs replacing click here for ideas on how to find yourself a more romantic man. GET THAT GUY.

Of course (chuckle), you could buy yourself something using his credit card from this romantic gift page if you like. “Why not treat yourself? Look around this page at all the fantastic things you deserve. Give his credit card a serve. It is what you deserve.” Better still, buy something for yourself and tell him it’s from someone else who cares!

• Consider yourself fortunate to be living in a country where females have access to education and the Internet.

Being single on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world. There can be many advantages to being on our own. There are many worse situations that other females face, involving their health and safety.

If being single is not for you however, join a dating site and start trawling. If you feel you need some handy hints on how to find Mr Right, try this book How to get that Guy. You have a whole year to find Mr Right for next Valentine’s Day!

You can read all the Cosmopolitan articles you want, Google for hot romantic tips, and stake out your profile in dozens of online dating sites, and yet come up empty anyway. Because our society moves so fast, many people just don’t have the time to do what it really takes to find love.

Well, instead of writing yet another article of romantic tips for women or men, here is one base fact, a common denominator, that no one else ever seems to address. It applies to both genders and across any sexual orientation. The big secret is: To find love, you have to be lovable.

Intriguing thought, isn’t it? Everybody sets out on their quest this way: “I want to find a person who has this quality, this quality, and that quality. They must be this, this, and this, and do that, and that.” Hey, wait a minute? If everybody sets out looking for the perfect mate, and nobody takes the responsibility to be the perfect mate, then how is anyone going to be matched up?

There was this economics class I was in, and one of the exercises were where we were each given a stack of slips of paper representing stock certificates, which we then had to trade with our classmates until we had a complete set of some given items, which was different for everyone. We had two minutes. In the thick of it, I sorted my slips and saw that I needed four coal stocks and one car stock, while I had three textile stocks and two oil stocks. I started shouting over the ruckus, “I need four coal stocks.”, but nobody was listening, because everybody else was yelling, “I need three food stocks.” and “I need three steel stocks.” I listened for a minute, watching the chaos, and then reversed my tactic: I announced, “I HAVE two oil stocks.” Instantly, I had the attention of three people who needed just that. I could then screen them to find the person who had what I needed. Using this tactic, I was one of the few students to complete the game.

Now, read an online dating profile: “I’m looking for someone who is attractive, intelligent, successful, has a sense of humor, fun-loving…” Yes, of course they are. Isn’t everyone? In most of the tips for a romantic relationship that I read online, that’s what I see is articles telling you to focus on getting what you want, never on being what other people want.

Young people especially need to realize that fun, charming, attractive people are made, not born. You have to practice your social skills, and that means making friends and socializing without the goal of finding a date first. Simply become a popular person in your social circle, and eventually you’ll attract dates on your own, without even trying. Of all the inexpensive romantic tips you’ll find, this is the least expensive, and yet it’s the one nobody seems to think of.

Have you tried joining a club or organization? Volunteering your time to a cause you believe in? Practiced being a good listener? Picked up a hobby and dived into it with passion? Gotten involved in your neighborhood community? Doing each of these activities gives you depth and builds your character. You become somebody interesting. You learn things about people until your perceptions will be treasured by the one who does pick you for a mate. And after all, everybody wants to meet the person who would be the life of the party… so why not just be that person?

All the matchmaker sites keep your sights on the search. The long, long search. I’m telling you to let other people do the searching, and just be easy to find.

Be easy to find. Have you tried it yet?

1: Putting his hands on his hips. By standing like this he is accentuating his size. By taking up more space he is appearing larger and more domineering. In cave dwelling time’s females chose the bigger males for better means of survival, which explains why many girls go for the assertive and broad shouldered type.

2: Seated with legs wide open on the barstool. By sitting like this he is offering you a great view of his crotch. If he should start to rock back and forth on the stool as well, look out. The male body language here spells the one thing on his mind is you.

3: Fiddling with his tie. The tie is basically a signpost to his penis, according to body language experts. If he should start playing with or stroking his tie, then there is a great chance that he is interested in you. By taking the initiative yourself and rubbing his tie admiringly, you are giving him a very strong sexual signal.

4: Finger pointing in the direction of his crotch. If he has his hand in his front trouser pocket, or has his hand resting on his belt, with a finger pointing straight down to his pelvis then anyone looking at him is drawn to his groin. His whole body is highlighting his pelvis in this highly sexual body language stance.
5: Rubbing his nose. When a man spies a woman he is attracted to, then unconscious preening begins. Other body language gestures to look out for are rearranging his clothing, running a finger along an eyebrow or pushing a hand through his hair. Along with the tie, the nose is a phallic symbol.6: Groin display. The more enthusiastic the guy is, the further apart his legs will be, irrespective of whether he is standing up or sitting down. This is considered to be very primitive flirting body language and is also behaviour seen in the monkey families. Basically he is showing you his fantastic package, on a purely subconscious level, of course.

7: Rocking his weight back and forth on his heels. This is considered to be subconsciously a mirroring of “vertical thrusting”. One of the surest body language gestures that he is hot for you.

Compared to us girls, guys have a much smaller range of flirting body language gestures and those that they do use are very easy to spot. Guys have basic primal urges and are still operating off caveman instincts subconsciously. Men are still using the same body language as they did in prehistoric times, much of which is also seen in the animal kingdom. Luckily for us. Obviously reading his body can be easier than reading his mind. Look for groupings of the above for highly interested flirting signals. Three or more and he is yours!

Since we no longer live in caves, we can at least expect some civilized gestures such as a drink and conversation before being dragged off to the modern day equivalent of the cave. If you want more relevant ammunition, read and download the report and articles at get a guy formula. There’s some of the most valuable content I’ve read for finding, attracting and keeping a guy available at that site.

All is not lost. There is new love after divorce. Read this dating advice and get yourself up to speed now!

1: Rebuild your SELF ESTEEM. No body comes out of a divorce feeling like a success, whether it was your idea or not. How good you feel really comes down to how good you think you look.

If you are still sporting the same hair style and make up that you did in your wedding photos then it is time for an update. No, you don’t have to do anything radical or extremely expensive. If you are a “classic” type of gal just get the “today” version of your style. Still you, but better. If you are stuck in the 80’s or 90’s then it is time to scout through some magazines for some new makeup tips, clip some photos of celeb hair that you admire and head off to the hair salon. Even budget hair shops will cut your hair for you to a photo and give you some free advice. Don’t be conned into a high maintenance style if you are a wash and wear girl. A change of hair color can be as good as a face lift for taking years off your age. Get the hair stylist to do it the first time and then after that you can use seriously good ‘at home’ products yourself if you are on a budget.

Go ahead and lose a few pounds if you need to. Excess weight can age you and also make you more self conscious about dating men and getting personal. If you can afford to do so, join a gym or health club as then you can extend your social circle as well as tone up. For the money conscious there are many inexpensive or free options which I am going to list right now. Take a brisk 30 minute walk five times a week to tone up thighs, legs and butt. Join the library and hire for free a home workout video (or follow along with a TV show). Kick the soccer ball in the yard or throw the frisbee with the kids. Walk the children to the playground. Now you are no longer cooking for him, you can ditch all the high calorie, high fat, high carb meals he might have enjoyed and cook for yourself and your own health and taste buds. Start cooking more healthy meals and watch the pounds fall off! Not inspired to cook for one? The frozen section of your grocery store has a wide range of diet meals prepared for one that you just have to nuke. No excuses.

Closely examine your wardrobe. Do your clothes reflect who you want to be now or are they from a bygone era? If you are no longer a soccer or PTA mom you don’t need the soccer/PTA mom gear do you? Ill fitting clothes will make you feel uncomfortable and unsexy so ditch those first. Anything you haven’t worn for more than 2 years should also go unless you are consigning it to the classic corner. Keep the good basic staples to build your new image from. While waiting in the supermarket aisle glance through the fashion magazines for an idea of the “latest must-haves”. All chain stores stock the latest trendy accessories in less expensive ranges.

Choose a style of bag or shoe that is in now but also ties in with your older gear and hey presto- new look. You can also pick up a new shirt, pullover, coat, scarf, dress or trousers to update the old basics that you chose to keep. Keep within your budget. Two less expensive items will give you more new looks than one costly piece which everyone else will remember you wore last time. Old daggy clothes will now be used for home exercise, gardening, house cleaning and the like. No public viewing unless exercising!

Nothing is more aging than a pair of weather beaten hands. Start looking after your hands and nails. Neatly filed finger nails with a clear coat of gloss look really healthy and well maintained. For your toe nails chose a bright cheerful color that ties in with your new wardrobe. Polished toe nails really finish off a look. You can easily do this at home and save the nail salon money for something else. The beauty of clear gloss is that no-one will notice if it is a little bit chipped. Apply hand cream each and every night before turning out the light and don’t forget to put it on your feet as well. Someone will be looking at your feet soon.

Another easy way to take 5 years off the age of your face. is to apply moisturizer and eye cream every morning. If you are not a believer try it and see. Add a little lip color and you are all ready to face the world of dating after divorce.

Well meaning relations and friends are probably bombarding you with divorced men, single dads, widowed men, separated men and confirmed bachelors, all just waiting for you. If you are lucky enough to find someone within these circles then this is fantastic because they will come all reference checked and hopefully with no nasty hidden surprises.

After years of “quiet nights in” on weekends you may or may not enjoy the nightclub scene again. For those of you who haven’t been frequenting this scene in a while please be aware of the world wide phenomena of “drink spiking”. Be wary of accepting drinks from strangers as more and more women get caught out waking up in the morning with no memory of last night.

The school yard, school functions and the sports yard can be great potential places to meet divorced men. Many relationships after divorce have been started while accompanying the children to various functions. These venues are great places to just practice your social skills and to get used to presenting yourself solo to the rest of the world. Don’t try too hard. Keep a smile handy. Try not to be bitter and twisted about the ex. Most importantly, do not fall into the role of tarty single mom on the soccer field, just keep it light hearted and natural.

Local sports facilities like tennis, golf, sailing etc can be fun and healthy ways to increase your social circle and get to meet men. Take along a friend to keep you more motivated.

Local dramatic groups, if that’s your thing, are also worthwhile. You never know when the local version of Brad Pitt or George Clooney is going to come along and join the Christmas pageant.

Join your local equivalent of parents-without-partners as another viable way of finding love after divorce. At the very worst you will meet other parents in the same situation as yourself. Very helpful for support, advise and who knows, maybe even babysitting.

Newer dating devises now include speed dating. This involves going to a venue and rotating around a group of males sharing your information in a set period of time. Anyone interested in you and vise versa gets to exchange info at the end of the evening. This is ideal for dating girls who are in a rush. Make sure you have polished up on your social skills before trying this out. Perfect for the extroverted divorced woman who presents well.

Internet or online dating services. From the comfort of your own lounge room in your pyjamas comes the dating service that has taken the world by storm. Pushed for time? Pushed for a babysitter? Don’t like night clubs? Run out of friends of friends? Looking for specific demographics? This could be for you. There are many services out there to chose from ie. http://www.datingxlence.com/ If you do find a potential date through one of these services be sure to read Coco Swan’s article on “Your first date from the internet”.

3: SEXUAL HEALTH ISSUES Post divorced women the world over are now showing up at sexual health clinics with STD‘S… Gone are the days of just worrying about getting pregnant. Now there are the very real added fears of HIV/AIDS, genital herpes. genital warts, chlamydia and even syphilis and gonorrhea are on the increase. Taking the Pill, having had your tubes tied or being menopausal will not save you from any of these little nasties. The only safe way to avoid these is to use a condom each and every time. Stay safe. Protect yourself.

1: Be positive and upbeat without climbing the walls. Smile!

2: Try to arrange to meet for a coffee. This can run from 15 minutes to 2 hours. If he is a total dud it is totally appropriate to wrap it up fast. If you have plenty to chat about one coffee can easily become two.

3: Leave the nightclub outfit and makeup for the nightclub. Go for smart casual or after work look. A lot of guys are put off by too much drastic makeup, so try for discreet and healthy looking. Play up your best attributes subtly. Great legs? Skinny leg trousers or shortish skirt will show him this without you having to resort to a micro-mini skirt. Your cleavage your best asset? Wrap tops are great for these lucky girls because they show your curves without wearing a shirt that starts opening halfway to your navel , you want him to come back for more, not feel like he’s seen the whole deal on the first date.

4: Be punctual. Arriving late comes over as rude and uncaring of someone else’s time. Do you like to be kept waiting?

5: Be prepared to listen as well as talk to the other person. How many times do you and your girlfriends say about a guy “he is just so into himself, his career that he wasn’t even interested in anything about me”? A safe ratio is about 50/50 even though that sounds terribly obvious it can be tricky with nerves etc to get the balance right between verbal diarrhoea and clamming up entirely.

6: No Dutch courage. Arrive sober. Stay sober. Alcohol will lower your inhibitions and may give him the indication that you are a lush or easy.

7: First impressions count. Smile, be friendly and listen. Don’t sell yourself short by presenting yourself as cheap or tacky. You are trying to find a long term partner who will treat you with respect, not view you as a quick sexual conquest.

8: No sexual relations! Even if he is your ideal pin up boy and you’ve been in a sexual hiatus for seemingly years. Having sex on a first date has just made this first encounter a one night stand. You need to engage the guy’s interest, like and respect. Most guys are already engaged in lust mode. Remember the oft quoted guy interpretation of “would you like to meet for a coffee?’ really means “eventually I’d like to have sex with you”. Make him wait.

9: Leave your cell phone off. If you can’t give the guy 15 minutes of your attention without the rest of your world stopping you will never find a partner.

10: No discussing previous relationships. Plenty of time down the track for that. By this stage you should have brief explanations that cover the basic areas of your life. You don’t want to sound all bitter and twisted. He too has some sort of history or else he wouldn’t be available to be having coffee with you.

11: Never give out your home address.

12: Trust your instincts. If the guy gives over vibes of being a psychopath or potential stalker deploy your emergency exit plan immediately.

13: What goes around comes around. Treat the guy the way you like to be treated yourself. Everyone is so tied up in themselves now and has become so me, me, me.

14: Safety first. You can never be too careful. Tell someone where you are going and with whom (can be tricky with internet dating). Choose a busy, well lit place that’s easy to enter and leave. You don’t want to be worrying about scurrying down some dark alley, being followed to the subway or harassed hailing a cab after a less than successful encounter. Maybe plan to meet a friend afterwards. Do not have your friend sit there and spy on you from another table as this is too distracting and sometimes obvious, not too mention a bit school girlish. If you become fearful try a ruse like going up to the counter to order another coffee, mention to staff you don’t feel safe and can they keep an eye out on you. Go to the ladies and call your emergency exit. Get out as politely and quickly as you can. Make sure he is not following you

15: Try not to get too anxious about these first encounters. Practice does make perfect. If this date wasn’t your dream man, then at worst, you have just honed your social skills for when your Mister Right does make an appearance. He will.

Good Luck!

There has been a gradual shift from the traditional careers for women like nurse, dental assistant, etc to non-traditional and better posts like the general practitioners, dentists, etc. This is a welcome change as these posts were once known as the male bastion. When we talk about the best paying careers for women today, we notice that the field of medicine is dominating the charts.

• The latest to add in this category is the job of anaesthesiologists. They are the ones who give anaesthesia to patients pre-surgery to render them unconscious during the surgery. This involves proper understanding of the patient’s body and the various risks it faces when a particular anaesthesia is given. This is one of the top paying jobs in the market today.
• The role of an internist often goes unnoticed by most of us. They are the ones who provide non-surgical treatment to the internal organs of the patients when they are inflicted with disease. This is a wonderful profession and internists are renowned for taking home fat salaries every month.
• One field of medicine has almost always been held by women and why not! It is the post of a gynaecologist. A gynaecologist is special stream of doctors who handle the diseases related to the reproductive organs of women and childbirth. This is a very important job and women have done a massively important job. No wonder such an important job is paid well too.
• It is time women stop being a dental assistant and instead be a dentist herself. Because dentists are one of the best paying people in the industry. The job of a dentist includes taking care of the oral diseases of the people. Well, almost everyone has a bad tooth! O you can imagine the earnings of a dentist.
• If you try to come out of the field of medicine and peep out, you will find there are other equally fulfilling jobs for women. Teacher is one of them. Being a teacher has been a very rewarding career for lot of women both in terms of satisfaction and money. In fact, the constant touch with bright minds can be very enriching for anyone.
• Human resources in a company are another attractive field where women can be very comfortable yet earn good pay package. The human resource department of a company handles the employee welfare, recruitment, social activities, etc. In short, it handles everything that concerns the human side of the company.
• Fashion industry has always attracted women. But apart from being just a skinny model gracing the ramp, women can also hold lot other posts that are equally or much more rewarding. Fashion designers, make-up artists, event managers, etc. have amazing take home salaries that can turn a top model turn green with envy!
• The post of financial advisor may be quite a risky job as it involves giving advice on the financial matters of people, but it is a high paying job precisely for that. Women who are good in finances and are comfortable giving advice can have experience of their lifetime in this career as it is a highly interesting job. People are known to earn enormous amounts once you get set in the field.

The list given above is very indicative. There are a lot more fields like sales, psychiatrist, etc. that are rewarding too.

Well, no matter what job you want to get, it involves some basic qualifications. The traditional jobs that women held up until recently required very little educational qualifications. However, all the high paying jobs require proper formal education as it involves high risk and deals with people directly. Most of them ask for a three to four years of a recognized degree and in the case of a career in medicine, it is a tough five to six years to achieve a medical degree.

Education may seem costly sometimes and you may be tempted to fall back and settle for a low paying job. However, that decision of yours can help you lose a lifetime of comfort and satisfaction. There are scores of educational loans that are being offered to students. You can always pay it back after you‘ve completed and slotted into a practise somewhere.

Finally, it is you who can make a job satisfying or not, but when it comes to money, you need to put in some extra effort

The Woman’s Answer behind, “Why Romance Novels?”

Tolstoy inspires me to create an introduction to this paragraph in appeal to your romantic senses.

One fine winter day, where the breeze tickled snowflakes in the courtyard with the streamed line of an ice-cold whirlwind, I decided it was time to write this article. Logical reasoning escapes me when I try to express my love for romance novels. Thus, at first I was in awe of what exactly to say.

I decided to delve into public minds to help me fulfill these inquiries. I questioned family and friends as to what they think about this genre seeming to occupy at least 40% of the bookselling market.

Some of the answers I found wouldn’t surprise the average person because the storylines run intangible in our lives.

The Sense of Renewal

Women have their share of lousy days at work around the house or at a corporate business. The boss assigns a tremendous project with an insane deadline to meet makes for an overhauled workweek. Possibly, the at home office fax machine decided to wreck havoc on another important document forcing us to call in for some assistance. A toddler decides to abandon their morning meal to paint jelly all over a newly painted room’s walls creates an unexpected hang up in house chores. There exist a number of circumstances to create a more than heavy workload for a day.

Romance novels give the woman some assistance in restoring balance to their teetering stress levels as a result of an abnormally chaotic day.

You hear reports of detailed, hopeful and happy love stories forging a sense of renewal in the woman’s mental balance. The experience holds the same relaxation values as sitting down for a cup of tea in the midst of a stressful situation.

Mystery novels do not seem to apply the same level of gratification in similar daily situations.

The Thought of Hope

Readers report an overall sense of hope after exploring a romance novel.

Characters portrayed in romance novels often have extremely difficult circumstances to overcome in order to experience the feeling of love. True life presents a number of issues in relationships falling very shy of romance novels situations. The comparison may help the reader see their problems in a much lighter sense. I read a book once describing how a woman acted out of normality and mooned a passing car. Later the character found her boss occupied a seat in the passing car. The character relayed anxiety around her boss in fear of him discovering a birthmark revealing her as the person who mooned him. The characters in romance novels experience a plethora of misfortune, desperation and embarrassing situations.

Romance novels provide our spirits hope and regard for the lesser times.

Pandora’s Box presents a story where hope escaped along with many other horrible things when opened. I offer my testimony in the offering of hope by reading romance novels. Characters illustrate a die-hard determination to overcome life’s existing barriers. Their spirit strengthens through hope in moment where life holds back desirables. True romance relays a message of hope through the stories contained in romance novels.

Stable Sense of Prediction

Some books seek to turn our curiosity in the form of mysteries. Each romance novel possesses different circumstances, but throughout the journey you can feel safe in knowing there will be an overall happy ending.

Romance remains the focus of a romance novel to provide the security of a happy ending.

Celebrating the Hero or Heroine

Women read romance novel after romance novel for the chance to experience triumphs along with the hero or heroine. Ideal’s present in almost every story containing a hero. The character portrays a role of beautiful, tainted and complex inner senses aiming appeal to our hearts.

A number of women take on a sense of the hero’s role in novels and develop relations with the character in their journey to solve day-to-day issues.This article has been supplied courtesy of Billy Baker.

Can you remember the younger years when it came to celebrating Valentine’s Day? I heard a story recently I feel necessary to share with you. A good female friend remembered her sophomore experience with a dashing, sports all-star, and all American young gentleman back in high school. She recalled being 16 years old at the time and he was 18.

Eventually, the young gentleman invited her to the senior prom. Her parents felt it was necessary to ride in the car with them on the way to the prom on account of her being so young. The relationship broke apart when her parents moved their home closer to her father’s new place of work. The young gentleman remembered her leave by picking up two four-leaf clovers and putting them in his pocket, the day she went away.

The average population expresses a desire to have a long-term Valentine. 99% of college students claim they want to fall in love and commit to a lasting relationship in the future. Despite the popular opinion, nearly 50% of all marriages in the United States wind up in divorce court. The percentage increases to above 60% when calculating the failure rate for second time around marriages.

Lifetime Valentines exist, so you should take down some ideas on building intimacy, cohesion and love to your long-term relationship.

Always Pay Attention to Your Loved One

Genuine Valentines make sure to provide enough attention to their loved one. Showing attention involves no more than sitting in the same room together, talking or really doing anything together without distractions. Showing commitment involves listening and caring about what our Valentine says, whether or not you fully agree. Acknowledge their efforts by thanking them for things they do for you. Showing this kind of attention builds long-lasting relationships.

Be Happy

Valentines often attract a like-minded Valentine. If you’re happy, chances are you will attract happiness in the process. Disappointment surrounds relying on another person to provide our own happiness. Long-term relationships build from each person being whole and happy in the beginning. Being whole requires personal means of finances, emotional stability, support groups and guiding career.

Spend Time Together

Valentines treasure the moments they spend together. Engaging a project requiring work can develop insight to another person’s inner-self in the process. Committed relationships usually have a track record of successful joint ventures.

Be a Kind, Caring and Affectionate Valentine

Lasting Valentine relationship require showing affection and love. Don’t take a person for granted or they could wonder astray from the relationship. Withholding grudges, good compliments, listening closely and kindness show a person valuable feelings involved in a long-term relationship. Stability, foundation and security evolve from showing these feelings daily in a loving relationship.

Earlier last year a friend received a phone call from her high school sweetheart. She received word his wife died a couple years previously. My friend had been living alone for 20 years as a result of a divorce. Nightly conversations allowed the two to catch up on recent activities in both lives. Eventually, they came together and decided to spend some time with each other around Christmas.

My friend will be visiting him again soon. There’s even a proposal of marriage awaiting her arrival. His reasoning suggests they grow old and mellow out together. She’s 73 years of age and he’s 75. He sent her a reminder of the feelings he had so many years ago adding to the love they share today. She received an envelope with 1 of 2 four-leaf clovers taken from her own front yard 57 years ago.

Usually when the holidays approach I get many inquiries from singles who don’t want to be lonely while their family and friends are cozily spending quality time together. These singles don’t want to be alone during the holidays, they want to have fun with someone!

So I got creative. If you’re single and want to have fun with someone over the holidays (or any other time) here are five ways you can get a date within 24 hours.

One qualifier… in Conscious Dating a “fun” date is recreational dating, the purpose of which is to have fun, not find a long term partner, therefore anyone fun qualifies. Therefore, you don’t need to carefully choose someone who is highly aligned with your requirements and highly attractive to you. The hard part of recreational dating is keeping it fun and not getting involved. Believe it or not, it’s easiest to do this with someone that clearly is not a good match for you!

With that qualifier in mind here are some ideas-

1. Date your Ex

Got your attention? It’s not as crazy as you might think! If you have a cordial relationship with an ex, why not? You know each other well and know how to have fun together.

2. Date out of your league

We get so focused on finding “the one,” wouldn’t it be fun to take a break and date someone significantly older or younger, of a different race or gender, etc, than usual? Recreational dating is easiest when it’s with people we clearly wouldn’t choose for long term, so how about dating someone dramatically different from your usual pattern?

3. Post a contest on Craig’s List

“Win a date with me!” contest. Entrants submit a description of what they propose to do on their date with you, and you choose the one that seems the most fun. DO NOT use this strategy for anything other than recreational dating! (see above).

Search personal ads for the most pathetic lost soul you can find who would be happy to go out for a little fun and let loose, knowing it’s a one-time thing. Someone who you wouldn’t ordinarily consider dating in a million years. Who knows? You might have fun and learn something about yourself and the human race.

5. Date a family member or friend

Wouldn’t it be nice to have fun with one of your kids, your brother or sister, mother or father, or a friend? Take this opportunity to get to have fun with them and get to know them better by breaking your usual pattern with them and go out to a dinner and play, etc.

No need to be alone during the holidays or at any other time if you’re not picky. If you’re lonely, use these strategies to have fun!

Want More Than “Fun?”

If these strategies don’t appeal to you and you want more than fun, you want a relationship, then take care of yourself by not settling for less and continue your quest for your life partner. In the meantime, I recommend spending quality time with your family and friends, and perhaps widening your social circle by making new friends. Not only will this help you get your social and emotional needs met while you’re single, but here’s a secret… most people meet their soul mate through someone they already know!

Happy Holidays and my best wishes in your journey to live the life you love with the love of your life.
