Give her flowers

Some will say that it’s easy to get a woman back. Others will tell you to just let it go. Of course, it all depends on the situation and both of your personalities but in general, with a bit of instruction and dedication, you can have your woman back in your arms again.

There are many reasons why a woman leaves a man but most of the time, it boils down to two main causes. Either the woman doesn’t feel appreciated anymore or she is bored. If you’ve cheated on the woman you want back, of course she doesn’t feel appreciated and you have broken (maybe permanently) the trust she once granted you.

Women can get bored when there is too much predictability in the relationship. This doesn’t mean that you have to constantly be going on trips or surprising her with flowers or gifts. It just means that you yourself don’t have to do exactly what you’ve always done. Sometimes when men are aiming to please, they go too far by buying expensive gifts, calling too much or saying the phrase “I love you” constantly. This can actually backfire and scare women off.

Or, it could be the opposite. Maybe you’ve barely shown any affection at all for the woman in your life and she’s had enough. Maybe you’ve started breaking your promises. Even simple little promises that are broken can start the decay in a relationship. For example, maybe you didn’t call when you said you would. Maybe you called off some date that you had with your ex at the very last minute and didn’t give a reason. A Woman will not let this type of behavior go on too long – she will leave you. And chances are, she’s spoken to you about it already and you just brushed it off.

Before you decide how to get a woman back, you need to take a look at yourself. What are the mistakes that you made? Do you still have feelings left for your woman or do you just want to get back into your old routine?

When a relationship has been broken, you need to take some time to step away from it and look at everything objectively. It might not be what you feel like doing, but it is what you really need to do if you plan on winning her back. Precisely because relationships vary significantly from one to the next, men should take some time to analyze the situation (as most women do).

While doing this, make sure you are taking care of yourself as well. After a while, you will come to some clarification and you will be able to see whether you really want to try “how to get a woman back.”

How to answer the big questions

You are asked to search your soul for who would be a great match, sometimes you’re asked a series of questions that will help ‘them’ find a great date/mate for you. But if you can’t decide in advance what you want for dinner how can you possibly select ‘a la carte’ the type of person that would be a great match?

Ultimately it comes down to what you see and read to get your attention and attraction and interest.

So what makes a good personal ad? Follow the example and advice below.

1) Describe yourself.
- Sometimes polite, sometimes rash, I enjoy planning as well as spur of the moment styles. If you ask any of my friends they will say that I am quiet, funny and separately serious and comedic. You’ll see the best of me on our first date and the weirdest of me after I meet your family. LOL
- My favorite color is blue and my favorite place to vacation is Mexico. I prefer quiet to crowds and friends to acquaintances You can call me a regular guy and I wouldn’t complain about it, too much.
(it’s ok to be descriptive without giving too much away about yourself. Think of how you’d describe yourself over the phone to an old school pal)

2) Your likes/dislikes.
- Everyone has likes and dislikes, but is it fair to let you decide based on what I write here whether we might be compatible or not? I don’t think so. My answer is: I like you, I dislike this question.
(I honestly hate this type of question and I suggest that you work your way around this question without being too specific, biased, racist, fascist or other, Seriously.)

3) Describe the type of person you’re looking for.
- I am searching for someone that can be a good friend, not a shoulder to cry on, not someone to instantly bare my soul with but someone to share a mutual understanding of life and all the rewards. You will be hard working and soft spoken, strict and caring, an individual that shares. If I were to describe it one word the person I seek it would be “confident” because when you are secure in yourself you can be open with others.
(This is the hardest question to answer, even though many people just write down what they feel ‘at the moment’ which is usually a little insecure and a little more challenged to not offend any potential match. I suggest being direct and also allow your answer to be open to interpretation.)

The most important and relevant advice is I can give you is to be honest and be yourself.
Also, don’t answer anything that makes you uncomfortable.

And enjoy your adventure with online dating!

A woman and a man

For if you have not loved you can not have experienced what we all yearn for, the intimacy of sharing with another person your innermost self; by being at your most vulnerable, more exposed and open to hurt than is otherwise possible you involve yourself completely with another person that is equally open to love and hurt.

This “love vulnerability” is what makes us human and is what brings about our best selves as we involve ourselves with another person and intertwine our lives with theirs.

I wish for you this, the highest level of emotions we can experience, and that true love is yours forever.

Have a great week!

Rules for your first coffee date

When you make the first date, it’s obvious that no matter how much you have talked with the person through email, instant messenger, skype, phone, you really don’t know much about how they are “in person”.

And I’ve heard all the “I met my soulmate” stories and a lot of them fall apart after the first meeting, leading to very hurtful and awkward feelings later.

My rule is that you don’t really know the person until you’re close enough to smell them.

So your first meeting should be an afternoon date, set to last no longer than 30 minutes.

The date should be in a public place, a coffee shop, donut shop, places that do not serve alcohol and that are not in any hotel restaurant or bar that you or the person you’re meeting is staying in. You don’t want to feel pressured into anything or drinking alcohol that will affect your decision making.

You should have a friend at the ready to either ’shadow you’ or call you at the thirty minute mark to help you end the date.

You can always extend the date but you should not feel pressure to do that and you should feel safe enough to walk away from the date at any time.

Most people decide within the first minute or two whether what they thought of the person is the same of what they think of them when they meet face-to-face.

Remember to have fun and to decide on the second date, should you have one, the things you really want to do with the person.

Friends With Benefits

That being said, here are the rules of FWB recently emailed to me:

1. No-one else is to know of our arrangement – not my family/friends/colleagues or theirs.
2. No going out in public together – EVER.
3. No emotional involvement. IF their emotions became involved, I expected them to say so and back off…I agreed to do the same.
4. The relationships were entirely about sex, skin on skin contact and mutual physical pleasure.
5. No more than two visits per week.
6. Maximum of one sleep over per week.
7. Visits to be arranged by phone on the day of a meeting….no explanations required or to be given if the person called is not available/not interested on that day..a simple, “not today” is all that is required.
8. Dating other people was allowed – FWB relationship was to be called off BEFORE sleeping with anyone else.
9. What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom…what happens outside the bedroom stays outside the bedroom…I don’t want to hear about their work / family woes and I wouldn’t share mine with them.
10. We are each to be responsible for getting our own needs met.
11. If we meet on the street or at a function, we speak politely but do not touch each other or try to arrange a visit.

Does this make it easier or harder to be FWB?

If you don’t capture the reader’s interest you just might not get a reply, no matter how much interest you have for the other person. (BTW, it’s quite rude to email someone more than twice before they reply to you, if they do at all. Keep your emails at least 3 days apart too.) Here are three things you need to know about replying to someone’s online profile.

1. What you should say is “Hi. I read your profile and I hope you’ll check mine out too”

2. You could say something funny like “I’m going to fire my psychic if you don’t email me back” and add a smiley wink

3. Share a hobby you have and explain in less than twenty words why you like that particular hobby. For instance, I collect stamps so I would say “My hobby of stamp collecting keeps me busy counting pennies nickels and dimes and is rarely finger licking good”.

Bonuses:
- if your dating service has voice messaging, leave a message that is specifically for that person and keep it up for a day or less (don’t keep it up longer, voice messages usually are not private)
- tell a joke, a clean joke, “knock knock” jokes are great to encourage several messages back and forth, just start off with “Knock Knock…”
- be a critic and discuss why you like/didn’t like a movie you recently saw, a book you read, a game you played, that coincides with what the person has in their profile

Things not to do:
- don’t ‘photoshop’ your images together to make it look like you’re a couple already
- tell the person that “I prefer the right side of the bed”
- send graphic pictures of yourself, even if you’re a member of an adult dating service, keep your pictures to the point of what you would want any stranger to see (within semi-nude limits) and recognize you on the street from
