Image by MrOmega via FlickrIn keeping with Michelle’s new mission, I’ve decided to create one of my own.
We’ve focused so much on dating, what’s good about it, what’s horrible about it, and how to do it. We very rarely focus on ourselves, as single women.
I wrote a post the other day about being a “quality woman” in order to attract a “quality man”. I’d like to expand upon that some more. I’ve become a firm believer in shifting your focus from “finding” someone to “attracting” someone into your life, and in doing so, I’ve decided that I have a lot …read more

I’ve heard things said a lot of times, pertaining to how much a person had changed upon entering a certain relationship. It can be a positive change or a negative one. I reckon one can’t help it, yeah? A relationship can indeed change a person. I guess all that’s left to question is just how much, which will be the basis of it being positive or negative. So,
How much of yourself do you lose?
I’m talking about your personality. Ok. There’s no right or wrong answer here (depends on where you stand about this matter, though). Granted that you have …read more

Hee hee. Just wanted to make you guys laugh a bit.
But dog or not, it’s a great thing to think about, yeah? What kind of man do you want? Were the traits the woman in the comic enumerated even such a tall order in the first place?
It’d be good to know your thoughts!

Er, pardon the pun.
We all have our ideals when it comes to choosing a partner. We come up with a list either by superficial standards or by principles. I guess it will be tested once we face that moment whether we are going to choose the person who matches all but one trait, physical or personality, which we think weighs a lot. We then face a dilemma that basically asks, will you settle for anything or anyone less than your ideal?
A friend of mine is going through such a dilemma right now. She has found a guy who …read more

I had to laugh when my sister tagged me to do this. I’m now forced to sit down and mull it over. Hahaha. When I started reading hers, I had this sinking feeling that I’ll see my name at the bottom of the post. Why? We’ve talked about this several times and she can only shake her head cuz I can’t seem to make up my mind on what my “Ideal Guy” is. She’s been telling me to make a list so I can focus on the important things and drop the rest. Just so you know, I did try! …read more

Via Christian Carter – Men are different from women.  You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.  When a woman sees a man, she can very quickly pick apart certain things about his style, body language, status and character that will tell her all kinds of things about him.  Lot’s of women don’t even consciously see that they do this because the process is so obvious and simple for them.
As you probably already know, men are generally more visual.   They often don’t understand non-verbal communication as well as women. Men often lack what women have in emotional awareness and “intuition”.  …read more

Are you the type of person that would lay your cards on the table at the start of the relationship or are you that person who spends a portion of your time in it with a little guessing game?
What I’m really wondering about is how much information about yourself can you actually divulge to your date. What are the things that you consider “allowable” topics for conversation apart from the list of your favourites?
Personally, I’m a pretty private person. I value it to the point that I hardly let the guy in — well, until I know why he needs …read more

When I told you guys about certain ways to improve your game, it captured the attention of a fellow b5-er, Matt Thornton, enough to offer a man’s insight on the whole thing, too.
So, all you guys out there, this one’s for you. Well, okay — all you ladies can read up, too. Perhaps you can tell me if Mr. Cricket here pretty much covered the basics.

Perhaps my head is just filled with sports lately that even the stuff I write here is about sports. Heh. There’s a good explanation, though.
Ever dated someone because you have “lots of things in common?” Well, what about because you’re both passionate about art? Astronomy? Baseball – or the Boston Red Sox, in particular?
You guessed it, I am going to talk about this particular sport, Baseball. Uh, not really about the sport, acutally, I’ll be talking about something for the fans — a dating idea for the fans, that is.
I came across an article that featured a site that …read more

Summing it up on one question,
Does your partner asks or assumes?
I had a conversation with a friend earlier that involves a little guess work. Hehe. But never mind that. Basically, I came out of it not puzzled because it didn’t concern my lovelife, but rather, amused. I asked her the same question to which she answered, “I don’t know.”
Let me give you an illustration:

Partner asks — “Do you want Japanese for dinner, hon?”
Partner assumes — “Sweetie, we’re having Japanese for dinner, right? I’ll pick you up at 8.”

What is the relevance, you ask? Ah, well — my crazy little mind …read more
