Most communication is corporal. Woman say more than meets the eye … In this case the ear. What is that she really means? Observe her body language.

1. She crosses her arms - When a woman on a date places her hands in front of her body — especially if they are crossed — she is closing herself off from the man. If you get this red flag, you don’t stand a chance… and she wants you to know it. Men are not nearly as perceptive as women, so even if she’s not consciously aware of it, a woman knows her body language needs to be very loud.
2. She places her bag between you two - If she puts her bag on the table it is always a bad sign. If your date places her purse — a real and physical barrier — between you two, she’s showing she wants to create distance.
3. She speaks faster than an auctioneer - So she seems to love talking to you? Before you break open the bubbly, note the speed of her small talk. Romantic conversation does not occur at the same speed as business conversation. Conversation between two people who are attracted typically slows to about three-quarter speed and softens. In fact, most emotional conversation — with the exception of very hostile conversation — is at a slowed cadence. That said, she may be nervous early in your first date, and her nerves can cause her to spit her sentences out rapid-fire. But if by the end of the evening she’s still going at a rapid rate, consider it a clue that she just wants to be friends at best.
4. She offers you a chin-up smile - Though it’s tempting to interpret any old smile as a sign of interest, all smiles are not created equal. Smiles can say a lot — “I’m polite,” “I’m crazy about you,” and, believe it or not, “I can’t stand you.” The secret to decoding what her smile really means? It’s all in the chin placement. A woman who gives you a relaxed, chin-down “soft smile” is smitten and wants you to dig her back. A full-on toothpaste grin or stiff and polite smile — both of which generally involve the chin raised up — mean either “I like you as a friend” or “I wanna get out of here!”
5. She strokes her neck - If your date’s telling you she agrees that you should get together again, that’s a good sign, right? Maybe. Her body language may be the key to the real truth. If a woman is gently stroking her neck when telling you this, it may be a sign that she’s interested, but it is also known to be a sign of lying. To figure out which message she’s sending, consider the aforementioned “she’s not into you” signals. If she’s also giving you the raised-chin smile and speaking to you over a giant purse, you may want to move on to your next prospect.

Most men have a hard time picking up a gift for the dreaded Valentine’s day. Women like to be surprised in Valentine’s day. Last Valentine’s day I invited my significant other to go out for dinner at a Latin restaurant and then go dancing for the rest of the night.

Unfortunately, I had to stay late at work and didn’t have time to shave.

Despite looking sexy rough (at least that what I thought) she complained about of not bringing chocolates and roses.

- “Where is your tie? You didn’t shaved. Where are the chocolates? -

For a moment, I felt my efforts to spend a special night with her were not appreciated.

We men, have a hard time trying to figure women out. We don’t read minds and it seems the expectations for this day are really high.

What to give her on Valentine’s day?

No, that set of cooking pots will not do.

It’s often recommended that guys should not ask their significant other what she wants for Valentine’s Day because it will ruin the suspense. Women love anticipation, it gets them excited. For men struggling how to decode her mixed signals we provide with the following tips.

No Money Down

An immaterial gesture or expression could be a thoughtful one.

• Bring her breakfast in bed or prepare a light but elegant dinner.
• Offer a massage but not the type of massage you are thinking; a real massage. Buy a book if necessary, candles and massage oil.
• Some websites might recommend a hand-made love coupon … forget it. Love coupon screams last minute
• Don’t send emails or ecards. Put the extra effort and write something by hand, a hand written letter. For inspiration think about of things she pays special attention about her looks, interests and personality. Remember the reasons why you are attracted to her and write it down. Stay witty and romantic, not vulgar.

Simple but Meaningful

If your lady is simple, she will appreciate any small and simple gift.

• Glass of wine in romantic set with live bossanova or jazz music
• A simple rose or an orchid
• A framed picture of each other

Blind dates are becoming the norm nowadays with the rise of internet dating sites. It could be stressful to meet a stranger that might be a potential life partner. Generally, speaking most people go to restaurants for the first date, a blind date. Shields are up and masks on while going through the process of trying to enjoy a meal while controlling stomach noises or potential food accidents.

It is a stressful time for men and women.

Instead, do something fun. Remember, fun, fun, fun, shut up and engage rule of dating. Girlfriendpedia does not recommend going to a restaurant for a blind date. Some women see a blind date as an investment of time since the baby clock is ticking. Therefore, a blind date in a restaurant could come across as a job interview … a job for life.

Relax and enjoy the date by being yourself. You don’t want to set up a trap or raise the expectations so high it will be stressful to keep up with when things are not so pretty or perfect.

For the first meeting, suggest going to places such as;

Lindsay Lohan is now dating Samantha Ronson for some time now and they seem to be surviving the up and downs of any relationship pretty well.

Recently, Lindsay spoke out against the constant criticism and rumors surrounding the couple.

They are doing just fine. Curiosity, it is an age thing.

One day you discovered that your friend, the one you shared who you like, is dating your crush. Perhaps, your friend never knew about your love interest because you never shared your feelings. Jealousy feelings might damage your friendship due to this difficult situation.

During these confusing times is better to determine whether to keep the friendship and move on with your life. Don’t let jealousy rule your life by following the following tips.

1. Determine why your friend is dating your crush. Is it because your friend actually likes your crush? Is their relationship more casual? Or, did this friend become involved with your crush in order to hurt you?
2. Decide how you are going to react. There will most definitely be jealousy on your part, and you’ll probably be hurting for a while. Trust may also become an issue. Resolve not to let your emotions get the better of you. This can be especially difficult if you’re in your teenage years. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from someone you trust completely! A parent, counselor, or close adult friend would be ideal.
3. Figure out if you want to save your friendship. If you want remain friends with the person who is dating your crush, you need to act now. Evaluate this friendship. Was your supposed friend acting in a way to purposely hurt you? Did your friend know about how you feel towards the person they are now dating? There are many serious issues to consider. If you decide to end the relationship for good, you should decide how to Break Up With Your Friend. It’s okay to be angry, it’s a horrible situation.
4. Start healing. A little old fashioned therapy never hurt anyone. In fact, it only ever helped someone! Talk out your problems with somebody you trust completely. Just get it all out there. This can be done by writing a letter to those you’re angry with, or you could write a song about the way your feeling. Poems work well, too. Simply screaming into a pillow can work wonders. Ultimately, remember to Love Yourself. Not having a relationship with someone will NEVER make your worthless. If things didn’t work out between you and your crush, so what? Their loss! And if your friend didn’t respect you feelings, well too bad for that person they’re dating now!
5. Fill the void. Whether or not you decide to break it off with your friend, you’re still going to lose somebody that you care about. Either your lose your supposed friend for good or you simply have to give up on your crush. That hurt is going to leave a void. You need to find something that will make you feel whole again. You could Learn to Play an Instrument, Volunteer at your church, or Start Exercising. Find something that makes you happy. You’re too good to continuously dwell on other people’s relationships!
6. Move on. Get out there and start meeting people. Go out with some people on a Friday night (not your crush and your friend, a different social circle would work well here.) Resolve not to think about your crush anymore. (Naturally this will take time, but don’t worry! You CAN do this!) Remove from your presence anything that reminds you of them. This is a painful but entirely necessary step. You’re too good to let this slow you down. Keep moving, keep busy and soon you’ll find you can be yourself again.

Tips

• Seek out your truest friends to get you through this.
• Volunteering is a great thing to! It keeps you busy, it’s altogether altruistic and it makes you feel good about yourself.
• If you break it off with your friend, keep it that way. It’s not healthy to go back and forth in and on/off relationship! Remember, you decided this was the best thing to do, stick to your guns.

Warnings

• While depression and anger is perfectly normal in a situation like this, suicidal or violent thoughts are not! If this occurs seek professional help immediately!

It might be hard to admit to a girl that you are into them without giving too much away, and then they might take advantage. Well here is some ways you can prevent making a mistake and still be able to improve expressing you feelings

Steps

1. You might want to do this in person…try to keep your eye on the person you are talking to. If you are the nervous type and might stutter or get sweaty and don’t know how to express yourself too well, you might want to write an instant message/text but DO NOT MAIL IT.
2. When you start to talk make sure you guys aren’t arguing, let them know how you feel about them, now don’t over do and act like they are the last thing in the world. Let them know what is going on and why is it that you feel that way about them. Now don’t rush and try to get them to get into a relationship.
3. When you’re done expressing yourself, don’t ask “now how do you feel about me?” that is up to them if they are willing to let you know or not.
4. If they have nothing to say to how you feel, move on.
5. If they do let you know how they feel about you, but it is not the same way you feel about them, don’t stress it and don’t make the mistake to take it back. Eventually they may feel the same way and if they don’t, again just move on.

Tips

• Do it when she is alone.
• Do it when she isn’t busy.
• Do not just jump into that subject right away, wait awhile.
• Let them know that you guys need to talk.

Warnings

• If she ignores the way you feel, too bad. Don’t beg!
• Act like nothing happened if they ignore it, but yet act serious with them.
• Do not run away right after you tell them.
