How Many Losers Have You Kissed?

What are the odds of finding that one frog amongst a pool of  frauds. Your prince? Are you kidding? It's not that easy! How many times do you go looking for your prince only to come up with nothing more than mud in your hand from that mucky water? Perhaps your local pond full of frogs isn't what you had hoped it would be? Do you kiss them all in hopes of finding a handsome prince, but instead you all you get to find slimy lips and the same ole' song and dance? If so, sister, you’re hanging around the wrong dating pool, and it’s time to make some changes.

You’ve certainly heard the armchair definition of insanity- “doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.” Well dating insanity is, “dating the same kind of guys over and over while expecting them to become something that they aren’t.” Are you satisfied with losers? Of course you're not. You don’t intend to kiss a frog, you’re just mistaking him for a prince-in-training. You have to stop settling for guys who are almost right and find your Mr. Right. 

 Every single woman faces an honesty crisis. Once you get to the bar, there are plenty of men who say everything except what’s on their mind. What if he said what he really thought - “Hi, your dress is too tight and your makeup’s overdone so you look like a tramp and I’m ready to treat you like one, okay?” But no, he does the flattery and the seduction game, the "you're what I've been waiting for my entire life" and so you hear the line he’s feeding you and it matches what you want to hear, so it’s a match, at least for a few hours. Face it, girls, men in bars lie. Nothing good ever comes from meeting a man in a bar. I don't know about you but I just want an old fashion, simple guy.

Most men...they want sex, but you want a dating relationship. So you give them what they want and they lose your phone number. You thought he was sincere but you didn’t put him to the Prince test. The real Prince Charming likes sex, sure he does, what man in his right mind doesn't?.... But he like you more. He wants to build a relationship with you and is willing to wait on sex to prove his interest in you as a person. You might kiss Prince Charming goodnight at the door, but he remains a prince. If he’s in disguise and you kiss him at the door, he turns back into a frog and gets pushy. Slam the door on his slimy foot or any other handy appendage, or threaten to bread him and fry him for dinner.

As women, we all want to trust, but it is so easy to get mislead. It’s difficult to find the real Prince Charming among all of the pretenders. Not only do men in bars lie, but they also put on a great show of sincerity. Some have it down to a fine art. They’re even trained in pickup master groups to listen to what you want and suddenly become that guy. They learn to echo your words and even follow your body movements so that you’re instantly disarmed by them. True Princes may not be as slick and sometimes they’re even awkward. You can work on the law of large numbers and kiss a lot of frogs, hoping to eventually find a Prince. Or you can give up the love lottery and save your kisses for the guy who truly deserves everything you have to offer a man! From the time we are little girls, we search for our true prince...he's out there,...He just needs to find his way back  and realize that maybe he does miss you just a little?

On a Date...Who Pays The Check?

So you get asked out by a guy that you've had your eye on for a while, but he is shy and perhaps a bit reserve...what do you do at the restaurant when the bill comes? You don't want him to think that you just expect him to pay the entire bill but he should because after all, he did ask you out...it's a touch call. One of the touchiest dating issues today has to do with money: Who pays, the man or the woman, and when? Once you're knee-deep into a relationship, you'll have worked out what is best for you as a couple, but in the meantime, it's tough to know what's expected of you.

Typically, men today are put into a "damned if you do, damned if you don't." situation. Some women are insulted if men always insist on paying. It may make them feel as if they are being bought or patronized, as if they can't afford to pay their own way. On the other hand, if men don't offer to pay instantly, some women will think that they're just being cheap or ungentlemanly. It simplifies things once you realize that, when it comes to money issues, there are only three possibilities:

• You are expected to pay
• She is expected to pay
• Both parties should split the bill down the middle

I say let him pay. This is a question that bothers many women. Do you offer to pay for your own dinner or movie ticket? If you do pay, is it really a “date” in the traditional sense - or just hanging out like you do with friends? When a man invites a woman for a date, he usually plans to pay the check. If he isn’t going to pay, then he needs to make that known up front. Some women are coy and expect nothing but for the man to pay the check. Honestly, I think that can be tacky, so maybe you can find a way to discuss the bill politely?

Maybe if you decide to go on an extreme sports adventure or attend a pricey live show, then buying your own tickets can work. Even when you only carry a tiny purse for the evening, you certainly know it’s smart to bring cash and at least one credit card. After all, if the date turns sour and you’re ready to go, you don’t have to ride home with a drunk or a jerk. Tell me that you've never had this happen to you before? If it has, then you have enough money to take a cab home. I call it  'hoping for the best while being prepared for the worst.'

If all through dinner, he leaves less than subtle hints that he’s only picking up the tab because he expects you to be dessert later, then by all means summon the waiter and get separate checks. Having that credit card in your purse shows him that you aren’t falling for that old line. Personally...I'd pour hot coffee in his lap then say kiss my ass, but that's me, and that's why I am probably still single.Some men think that a good dinner out gets them laid...seriously? Honey, you'd have to feed me half of Texas to get in my britches over "dinner?" I don't think so! My thoughts are these; if a man wants to get to know you, and I mean really get to know you, he isn't going to make a sly statement like that, and if he does he certainly isn't the man for you! A date is a date, no one ever said that you were the dessert. Unless of course it's going really well and you happen to like Reddi whip cream and handcuffs?

At any rate, you won’t know that unless you find out how he handles paying the check. In the early weeks of dating, most guys go all out to impress you and show you a good time. He wants you to think he’s a guy with good taste and makes the extra effort to please you. Enjoy the evening and don't sweat the small stuff. If all goes well, he'll ask you out again!

Let's Talk Cougar...

	Many people have their own definitions of what a cougar is so I decided to check out a few different avenues to see what Google said about Cougars. When I typed in the word "cougar" this is what I found; She's the new breed of single, older woman - confident, sophisticated, desirable and sexy, she knows exactly what she wants. What she wants is younger men and lots of great sex.

 Let's talk Cougar...Shall we? She's sexy. She ages gracefully,...and she's back. So the number one question on a mans mind is; "Where do I find my cougar and what should I expect?" We'll discuss these questions in this article. Like it or not, by getting involved with an older woman, you are putting yourself in a situation where the moral majority - people like your parents and boss will most likely frown upon you. Your decision to date a younger man will not be immediately understood by everyone; especially his and your family. Even if your relationship is serious, don’t expect everyone to look at it that way. People and even your own family might have negative comments about your relationship. Guess what? Newsflash, it's your choice, not theirs!

To avoid conflicts in the future, do not hide your relationship with your younger partner from your family. If you do, they will assume that you are not serious with him or they may just think that both of you are up to no good On the up side, you may become your buddies' hero, and they will start begging you to reveal what it's like. In any case, people will talk. If you are secure enough in the relationship, or you actually like the attention, then by all means, proceed.

 What should the physical attraction  be? Well, an older woman usually won’t be a match for a younger woman’s appearance and other physical features. This is a fact that every cougar dating younger guys should accept. However, they can make up for this in a whole bunch of different ways. An older woman who looks and feels good about herself will always be better than a younger woman in the eyes of a younger man. One way for an older woman to do this is by staying physically and mentally healthy. Being overly insecure and anxious won’t help you. Also, make sure that you are physically fit. Just because you are older doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take care of your body anymore. Take care of your body and exercise every now and then. This will help you keep up with the energy level of your younger partner.

Ladies, do you want to look hot in the bedroom? Cougars throughout the USA shop at our store. We're online, discrete and we value and respect your confidentially. Have we got the perfect look for you! At Simply Delicious Lingerie we sell beautiful lingerie that cougars love to wear!

 So you're ready to date a cougar  but where are you going to find her? Sure, you see potential cougars everywhere, on the subway, in the supermarket, on the bus, at the mall - but are they really cougars?

Cougar dating is a phenomenon that has only recently been brought to public attention. Of course, younger men have been dating older women for years. Known as cougars dating, this is a type of dating which is becoming more and more popular online. Many ads proclaim date a cougar, or dating older women. There are even free dating sites dedicated to these types of relationships. But what are these relationships all about? Is cougar life dating simply about older women wanting sex with younger men? How does one approach a cougar and if he is too shy to do so in person, what about the Internet via personal ads or online dating sites for cougars?

Sometimes the motivating factors center on sexual satisfaction. But in many cases it goes much, much deeper and there is an actual desire for a real relationship! The younger men involved also may have many different reasons for choosing such an arrangement. Any such dating advice, therefore, should focus on both the male partner and the cougar. Finding a cougar to date in a bar should be fairly straightforward. More and more cougars are heading into bars and clubs to check out the young cougar bait on offer. So go find them, and when you do, be confident, be cool and remember the reason most cougars are looking for a younger man is because they're bored of the slipper wearing, couch potato guys of their own age. That's why you have to exude energy, fun and sexual appetite if you want to secure a date with a cougar in a bar.

Online dating is also a great tool in your quest to date a cougar. The benefit of online dating is that you get to sound out your cougar for a while first by swapping messages and maybe even photos. You can really get an idea of what your cougar woman is looking for and make sure that if you do go on a date with her, you're likely to be on the same wavelength. The drawback of course is that you don't know how realistic the photos of your cougar really are. You want an older woman but you don't want a shrivelled up prune, right? So there's a balance to be struck and when you date a cougar based on pictures alone you take a chance. But then again, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Which "Mr. Right" Are You Looking For?

Tell me something because I am just dying to know....why is it that women spend so much time looking for Mr. Right? Every weekend (or so it seems) single women launch the hunt for Mr. Right. What’s amazing to me is that many of them pass their Mr. Right every day in the office, at the gas station, at your local "mom & pop" restaurant, or while out walking the dog after work. He’s as likely to be at your gym, shopping in your grocery store or standing in line at your favorite movie theatre as he is hanging around the singles mingle hour at some local bar. Since it seems to be such a struggle in this modern day and age find him, let’s look at the alternatives, shall we? Which Mr Right are you looking for, exactly?

Mr. Right Here

...is the guy who is handy. He works in your department or lives in your apartment complex. He might be the nice neighbor of your best friend. You’ve seen him so often that he blends into the scenery. He’s not pushy or forward and never comes at you with stupid pick up lines. He’s so nice that you immediately think there must be something wrong with him. But there’s not. He’s simply a nice guy, hard working and not trying too hard. He is the man who is right in front of you time and time again yet you overlook him repeatedly because he is just the "nice guy!"

Mr. Right Now

...is the guy who’s asking you out for dates regularly. He wants to spend time with you, but you aren’t captivated by him. Finally, you look around and see all of your girlfriends with boyfriends, so you decide to hang onto him. After all, you don’t want to be the last girl left standing alone on the sidelines - and he’s happy just to be with you. You might actually like him if you weren’t using him for a prop to make you look popular while you scan the room for something better. Shame on you! Guys have feelings too!

Mr. Right for Them

...is the guy that everyone is certain is right for you. He’s the son of your parents’ friends and they’ve conspired several times so that you could meet him. He might be the college roommate of your best friend’s husband and they think he’s a wonderful guy. It’s possible that he’s a new member of the tennis club and your friends shuffle the foursome list so you can play doubles, hoping that the action extends beyond the court. Basically, you’re getting so much “help” from others that you aren’t sure if you really like him or if you’re trying to please other people who care about both of you. Listen up...you need to follow your heart and do what you feel is right, because you would be the one spending time with this guy, not your parents or your friends, etc.

Mr. Right But

...is the guy that could be perfect, but there’s some impediment that you aren’t sure will work. Maybe he’s a divorced single father with custody of two small children. You aren’t even sure you want children and certainly not a ready-made family with instant motherhood. He might have a job with extensive world travel or he’s in the military and could be stationed in hazardous locations for months at a time. He could be a great guy, but he just doesn’t fit your fairytale story - instead of the tall, handsome prince, he’s barely your height and prematurely balding....excuses...excuses. Ask yourself this gals? Are you perfect? IF the answer is YES, you won't learn anything from reading this page as you already have your act together and most likely have the best guy around, right? If you are not perfect, which in reality NONE of us are, then why expect the man of your dreams to be perfect? We all have flaws. Not one person is going to have everything you desire in a man but as I said in an article recently, meet him in the middle. It's a give and take thing and you need to accept that.No more 'buts!'

So where is Mr. Right?

Before you answer, “I don’t know,” take a look around - a real good hard honest look. Do you see Mr. Right Here, Mr. Right Now, Mr. Right for Them or Mr. Right But? You might take a second look. One of them could be your Mr. Right who is waiting for you to see him for what he really is. Don't you owe it to yourself to take that second or third look? 

Remember, if your looking for that muscular fit hunk-of-burning-love guy...that's fine....but get to know a man for what he is on the inside as well as the outside. What's on the outside may not at all be what you really desire the most after all....

I Love You...I'm Just Not In Love with You

Why do people cheat, and when they do, how is it that we just don't see it? Is the writing on the walls? Is divorce the next mid-life hurdle you'll face? what happened to vows and "until death do you part?" Life as we know it is changing and the writing is all over the wall, but we just can't see the forest through the trees to realize what is going on,..until it is too late. Almost daily I encounter those entangled in a kind of extramarital affairs. Whether it be at work, with a friend or neighbor, or even a relative, we hear of this and I ask why? How can and does this happen? Where do you go from a happy marriage to sharing a bed with someone else? In society today, we dress differently than we did 25 years ago when I was married, we act differently and we flirt more. Back in the day, I had no internet, and there were no dating sites, it was all casual meetings while out with fellow coworkers, or friends if and when that interaction developed. When you take that one step further...that  is when it goes from harmless fun to the danger zone! Most often it is someone else. Generally the cheating or "offending" spouse/partner has encountered someone where there are "sparks" and it escalates from there.

So why do people fall out of love? When does it happen, and why don't we see it? The answer is; we are too in love with that person and far too blind to see it, so when it smacks up dead on in the face we are 100% shocked.  That really doesn't make it any easier when they come to you and say that it is over. If you have ever experienced this as I have, you will know that it felt like someone ripped your heart out through your back. The pain and emotional state is devastating to say the least. So, how does this occur? 

 Here are common phrases: (to the spouse) "I love you but am just not 'in love' with you. Have you ever heard those words uttered to you? If you have, then you know exactly how this feels. The romance in our marriage is gone. I found someone who really loves me." (self thoughts) "I don't want to settle. I have a lot of love to give. He/she treats me like no one else. I feel special with the other person." The "offended spouse" often responds with increased or new romantic gestures. They fall flat. Sadly, at the core of this kind of affair is a deeply ingrained belief that "romance" is the savior and benchmark of a great marriage or intimate relationship. Nope, communication is and always has been key.,,when you lose that my friend, your marriage is way past saving in my own personal opinion. What makes it worse is when there are children involved. They tend to think that it is their fault and as broken hearted as we are, we need to put our feelings on the back burner to see them through this mess.

Here are some reflections on romance and affairs from an article I read recently: (along with my 2 cents!)

1. "Romance" is subtly touted in our culture (USA) as the ultimate experience in an intimate relationship. Romance is idealized in movies and books as the ecstasy of being "in love." We can't get enough (hugely profitable grocery counter tabloids) of which "stars" are currently "in love" with whom. And, it often does not matter (really) if the are married. Oh gosh, to be like that, to experience that. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Call me pathetic, but I wouldn't want to be in a celebrities shoes for nothing! No thank you!

2. Romantic movies are often called "romantic comedies." Ever wonder why they are so funny or why they should be? Or, at the other end, romantic movies are tragedies (Romeo and Juliet). How about "Bridges of Madison County" where the woman and man (Clint Eastwood) never get at the huge "emptiness" in their lives? Ever see a "real" romantic movie? I like the Pretty Woman type movies, the Cinderella type if you will....I think that those certain types of movies give all women something to grasp onto...that love can really happen to them just like that! Being the romantic connoisseur that I am, I I get intrigued when I hear of people like myself who still believes...even after heart ache when the bottom falls out of a marriage.

3. The search for romance whether through an affair or within our marriage often belies powerful personal needs. It has little to do with love and more to do with getting our personal needs met. Most of us have strong needs such as to be acknowledged, adored, cared for or perhaps cherished. Another powerful need is to feel "special." This is often the pattern for a man overindulged by his mother, or a woman who was the "apple of her father's eye," yet was emotionally deprived in that relationship.

Romance becomes the vehicle through which these needs are supposedly met without needing to name those needs or talk about them. (Gosh, he/she knows what I want before I do - he/she can read my mind. He/she/we are special!) Don't get me wrong. Personal needs are OK. We all have them. Personal needs drive, often powerfully, what we go after. But, and this is a huge but, if we do not consciously name them and get them met once and for all (and that can be done!) they continue to drive us and we live perpetually in frustration, always wanting more. Once we move beyond the merry-go-round of personal need meeting we discover our personal passion, our purpose and reach down and touch the essence of real joy and peace.

4. Romance is for mating. Sex (sexual union) is often the bottom line. The "chemistry" described in "romantic love" we are finding, is truly that - raw chemistry. Studies now show (just read this last week) that those "in love" have a high concentration of specific endorphins (chemicals) in their bodies. These are the chemicals found when animals are in "heat." I also believe that we run into 2-3 people in our life-time where we experience this "chemistry." I have no idea why this happens. There appears to be some attraction, based on a huge number of factors that stir our juices - literally. Interesting. But, doesn't mean that I must jump into bed with this person. Maybe some animals do, however.

5. A person seeking romance is often someone looking for a high. They want to feel good. They expect they should feel good. They believe they should jump on something that feels good. They want the pill, the drug, the retreat, the experience that will take away their pain, their emptiness, their loneliness and make them feel good. Of course, it is only temporary. The nagging pain continually emerges and their eternal search for quelling the storm within seeks a new substance. Most often, when this occurs, our worlds are shattered and our marriages end up in divorce. My question is this? Is anything safe anymore, and does real love still exist? Time heals our hearts, but it takes forever to truly trust again.

Easy Steps to Manage Your Time

Day in and day out we constantly state that we can't meet deadlines without stress, often we suffer restless nights with very little sleep. Some of us are great planners and have a schedule, some of us have no idea what we're doing, we just wake up to a 'post it' note knowing what we must to get done...but do we follow a schedule? Are you managing your time properly? As a single mother, my kids were 13 and 11 when I divorced. Even at their ages, life seemed so rushed and I always felt like I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off. Now looking back, I wonder how I did it, and my kids could move about themselves. Getting them in the car and off to where we needed to be was a task, nonetheless, I see women and men (some single parents, like myself) with small children and infants and I wonder "How do they do it?" Wow do I give them credit! 

 Regardless of how you go about it, managing your time is crucial both in business and professionally. When you have a plan, whether it be at home from taking kids to school, going for a manicure, grocery shopping, picking up dry cleaning, going back to school to pick up the kids, getting home to make dinner, doing homework, cleaning the house (because that didn't get done that morning with the busy schedule) and then baths, and going to bed, ONLY to start tomorrow the same way....you need to be organized or things will get skipped and my friend, you will BURN OUT! Without a plan, imagine how business would be run? deadlines would not be met, board meeting would be missed, etc. There are many ways we can manage our time. I have listed some strategies you can use to manage your time in a better and more efficient manner. They are noted below.

1. Always define your goals as clearly as possible.

Do you find you are not doing what you want to do just because your goals have not been set properly yet?

One of the factors which make successful and happy people stand out is their ability to work out what they want to achieve and have written goals which they can review them constantly. Your long term goals should impact on your daily activities and be included on your "to do" list. Without a goal or objective people tend to just drift off personally and professionally. Don't be one of those people! Make it matter!

2. Analyze your use of time.

Are you spending enough time on the projects which although may not be urgent now but are things that you need to do to develop yourself or your career? If you are constantly asking yourself “What can I do to make things easier for me right now?" it will help you to focus on 'important tasks' and stop reacting to tasks which seem urgent (or pleasant to do) but carry no importance towards your goals.Try getting and using a personal calendar, setting reminders on your computer, cell phone or personal organizer. This works...but, some people just don't take the time to do this. If you are one of these people, try it. It may not seem to be working right away but after a few weeks or even a month, your life and your time will seem a lot less hectic!

3. Have a plan.

How can you achieve your goals without a plan? I don’t even think that is possible. Most people know what they want but have no plan to achieve it except by sheer hard work. What’s the point in doing hard work when you don’t know how to apply it? Your yearly plan should be reviewed daily and reset as your achievements are met. Successful people make lists constantly. It enables them to stay on top of priorities and enable them to remain flexible to changing priorities. This should be done for both personal and business goals. I never realized how important this was to plan ahead until I started my own businesses and after a few years sought out assistance in growing them and taking them to a new level. Now I have a road map that shows me how things "should" go if I follow my plan.

4. Action plan analysis.

Problems will always happen when you set a plan. Such is life...so ALWAYS have a back up plan! The value of a good plan is to identify them early and seek out solutions immediately. Good time management enables you to measure the progress towards your goals because "What you can measure, you can control". Always try to be proactive in the achievement of successfully managing your time. Time management is not a hard subject to understand, but unless you are committed to building better time management techniques into your daily routine you'll only achieve partial (or no) results and end up right back where you started. You have to commit to managing your time better and remember to include time for yourself. The lesson that you need to learn is that the more time we spend planning our time and activities the more time we will have for those activities. By setting goals, eliminating time wasters and doing this everyday, you may find you will have extra time in the week to spend on those people and activities most important to you. We can't stop time as hard as we try...so make every minute count!

5. Spinach. Spinach comes packed with many beneficial ingredients. It's one of the best leafy green vegetables that you can eat. It contains folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, and more. Plus it's easy to add to salads.

6. Apples. So now you know there's truth to the saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away! They contain many of the benefits of the other super food fruits, as well as a decent fiber content. They're also a low glycemic index food. Apples can help you stay full and may help with weight loss. 

7. Baked Beans. Protein, fiber and calcium are just some of the benefits of this low GI super food. Baked beans have also been known to lower the chances of bowel type cancers because of the unique way they're digested.

8. Yogurt. Yogurt is a super healthy way of getting your dairy intake for the day. In addition to being an excellent source of calcium, yogurt has also been known to improve your bowel health overall. Yogurt can help with regulating the digestive system.

9. Salmon. Lean fish are always good alternatives for healthy meats in your diet. However, salmon is extra special because it contains Omega 3's. Omega 3's alone have many health benefits such as reduced risks of heart attacks as well as mental disorders such as depression.

10. Olive Oil. Olive oil is one type of oil that's okay to add to your diet in moderation. It's a good idea to keep in mind that a little bit goes a long way. Olive oil can lower bad cholesterol levels and it also contains a healthy amount of antioxidants. Use olive oil mixed with balsamic vinegar for salad dressing, instead of the creamy stuff.

11. Dark Chocolate. This is usually the shocker that will surprise many people, and they'll question why it is  on the super foods list? Hey,...dark chocolate can be yummy and beneficial to your health. Dark chocolate, in small amounts each day, can lower your blood pressure and it also contains antioxidants. 

 12. Citrus Fruit. Many like the taste of sweet citrus fruits, which makes it quite the popular super food. You'll still want to eat these fruits in moderation because they have a higher sugar content. However, citrus fruits also come with a high amount of vitamin C, fiber, and folic acid.

10 Ways to Wake Up the Passion in your Relationship

If your relationship is starting to lack luster, and the passion is slowly decreasing you may need to make a conscious effort to re-ignite the spark in your relationship and get back in the game! Sometimes it may take elaborate plans and gestures to reawaken the passion in your relationship and sometimes it may just be small seemingly insignificant things that can help you to reawaken the passion in your relationship. Nothing says comfort like a bubble bath for two and a bottle of wine so relax and be playful....

 Taking a bath together can also help to reawaken passion in a relationship. This is a very sensual activity that makes you both feel pampered and gives you the opportunity to reconnect on a physical level. Beyond that it can also give you a chance to relax and unwind after a hard day of work and sometimes it’s the stresses of everyday life that are putting a damper on passion.

Planning a romantic weekend getaway can be one way to reawaken passion. A trip to a spa or a romantic destination can help to put the passion back in your relationship. This type of trip gives a couple the opportunity to step away from their everyday lives and spend some time focusing on romance. 

Treat your partner with respect can also be a simple way to reawaken passion. Sometimes people get in the habit of taking their partner for granted while they continue to treat complete strangers and casual acquaintances with respect. People tend to work harder on casual relationship than they do on their romantic relationship because they take their partner for granted. Making an effort to impress your partner, however, can help to revive the passion.

Doing something new and adventurous can also help to reawaken the passion in your relationship. Try an activity that you have never done before such as skydiving or water skiing. Participating in an adventurous sport can make you feel more alive and this will transcend into your relationship and reawaken the passion.

Holding hands is another way to reawaken the passion in your relationship. This simple act draws you and your partner closer together. Most couples hold hands all the time early in their relationship but as time goes by they begin to do so less and less often. Grabbing your partners hand and holding on while you run errands can make your partner feel desired again and this will help put the passion back in your relationship.

Another way to reawaken the passion in your relationship is to plan date nights. My parents are in their 70s and they still have Wednesday date night. Age is just a number! Spend some time getting dressed up and plan a night out on the town. Putting this level of effort into a dinner date makes it feel much more special and romantic plus it gives you a chance to let your partner know that you are still interested in spending time with them. No mater how busy your week is, plan to have at least one night a week where the two of your connect in a special way. Even if it’s just some quiet time at home after the kids go to bed or even a family game night with the kids, it will give you time to bond. 

Taking care in your own appearance is still another way to reawaken the passion in your relationship. If you feel good about yourself, you will be more appealing to your partner. Spend a few extra minutes getting ready to go out and really pamper yourself. This will give you a confidence boost that can help bring the passion back to your relationship.

Complimenting your partner can also help to reawaken passion. Noticing when your partner puts extra effort into their appearance lets them know that you still find them desirable and attractive. Even complimenting them when they aren’t all dressed up, lets them know that you love them for who they are and not just their appearance.

Plan a trip that you would like to take in the future can reawaken passion. Spend an afternoon thinking of trips you would like to take together and make a list of all the places you want to go and all the things you want to do. This type of daydreaming draws a couple closer together and can revive passion. 

Spend a little quiet time together daily can be another way to reawaken passion. Are you drifting apart and not sure how to fix it? Here's a solution that will keep it going....communication.  Plan on having at least a few minutes alone with your partner each day to help put the spark back into your relationship. Taking time to reconnect daily can help keep the passion in your relationship.

3 Keys to Having a Great Sex Life...

We all want to feel needed, and loved, and we all want to be in a great relationship right?...But what about the sex? Here's something to sink your teeth into...If you want a great sex life, there is one thing that is absolutely essential. It's not having a super-toned body or naturally curly hair. It's not owning a fancy imported car, the size of your house, or how big your flat screen is.... No, the essential element is conversation. You might ask, who needs simple chit-chat when you're making love with an attractive guy or gal? If you're just having a short fling to merely pass the time, you may be able to get away with little or no conversation. But if you want to keep your love life passionate and exciting over the long term, you're going to have to start talking. I've listed three ways to use conversation to improve and sustain your sex life. These are very helpful hints, so take notes!

Are you Communicating  with your partner about what you want?

Do you spend time talking to one another? Hey, it's not all about the sex here...communication is key to any great relationship. My grandmother used to always say, sex is the easy part, but building a solid foundation from the ground up is what keeps you together! One excellent use of conversation is to talk about what you want and to find out what your partner wants. Your lover can't read your mind any more than you can read hers (or his). Giving non-verbal communication in the bedroom is helpful, up to a point. But if that isn't getting you what you want, it's time to try putting your desires into words.Finding out what your partner wants is equally important. If you're a guy who's a little confused about how to please your lady, the answer is simple. The best way to find out what a woman wants is to ask her. Really. Many women (and quite a few men) are just dying to talk about their fantasies and desires. All they need is a sincere invitation to open up, and you can offer that, trust me on this on, men and women love the fantasy talk, especially if it involves a threesome (even if it is only his fantasy.) For most couples, that is fun role play as they aren't used to stepping outside of the "box" or their comfort zone. Hey, there is nothing wrong with some naughty fun expressing yourself. It will turn your partner on!

Turn Up the Heat with sensual talk...

No, this isn't a suggestion to discuss the latest stock report news or which famous celebrity is getting a divorce. However, a bit of naughty and explicit sex talk while you are making love can add a new dimension of excitement. Not sure how to start? Begin by describing how gorgeous your partner's body is and how aroused you are getting. Talk about what you're doing, what you're about to do, and how it's going to make your partner feel. Even if you don't normally use explicit language, this may be the time to get a bit nasty and x-rated. Relax and shed those inhibitions. 

Boost their EGO!

OK, Ego is a real big thing, and we all like to have ours boosted once in a while right? If there's one thing we all love, it's a sincere compliment. Many people are a little insecure about their sexual abilities and they secretly wonder if they are good enough in bed. Make a point of telling your partner how exciting and skillful he or she was last night. A general comment such as "You were so hot" is all right, but try also to mention something specific they did and how great it made you feel. And you don't need to make a big deal about it. Even a few whispered words just before you leave for work will keep your partner glowing with pleasure all day long.

If you're already doing some of these things, great! But if it's never occurred to you that conversation is essential for a great sex life, you may be surprised at how much of a difference just a few words can make. When you communicate about what you want, talk naughty at appropriate moments, (and listen, there is a BIG difference between 'naughty' and down right 'dirty')...so keep it clean....and praise your partner's skill and desirability, you'll find that the payoff is quite rewarding!
