Read some coping strategies that may help you after a breakup.  Change Your Environment To Help You Move Forward After A Breakup Moving on after a heartbreak is difficult when you’re still surrounded by everything that reminds you of shared memories with a former lover. It can be especially hard if you’ve lived with them for a long time. You may find yourself unable to continue with your life after the heartbreak. In this case, changing your environment may be the solution you need to get back on your feet. Removing the physical ties that still connect you to your past is a good first step to moving on. If you can afford to do so, go on and start planning a redecorating project. But something simple like getting rid of tangible remnants of a past love can substantially help you take that first crucial step to healing. Hide Them If you have just broken up, purging the things they owned or once shared with you may not be very easy to do. You may be tempted to keep some of them, and that is totally acceptable if you are not willing to do just yet. But you can let go gradually by keeping them in boxes and storing them out of sight. This way, you don’t have to mistakenly throw some memorabilia that you may want to keep once you are ready. Clean Up, Clean Out You don’t have to pressure yourself to throw out something you know you already should. You may decide to hide it for a time. But ultimately getting rid of these items will be most helpful in your way to moving on. If you find yourself needing to get rid of a bunch of stuff that are still useful, you can donate them or put them on sale. You can always hold a garage sale where you can include a bunch of your other stuff, or you can sell them online. Selling them online would be a smart move especially if you’re holding a prized collectible or item. Give Them a New Look! Throwing out a bed or a couch is mighty expensive. It’s understandable that, even if you’d want to do so, you may not be able to for the meantime. In this case, it would be more practical to look for more creative ways to dress up the space around it, move it around, or just give it a new look! For example, you can choose to buy new beddings or sofa covers. You can try putting up tapestries behind the couch or buying a new set of extra punchy pillows. To freshen up the mood, you can always add a new layer of paint or hang a funny artwork! It all depends on your creativity. Go bold, and have fun reclaiming your space. Formally Say Goodbye Not necessarily to them. But you can hold a small personal goodbye ritual for yourself. Saying goodbye is a way of acknowledging that the relationship has ended, that you did what you could, and that it is time to move forward with your life. There’s no one way to say goodbye. Some consider purging out shared objects as ritual enough. Others burn pictures. Some may not even see a point in it at all. But many others find their own rituals helpful, and if you have not tried it before, this may work for you as well.  Create A GoodBye Ritual For Yourself Self-Love It’s easy to lose yourself after a breakup. The ending may have made you feel inadequate and unwanted. This can cause a spiral of negative feelings toward yourself. However, there’s no better time for self-love than when you’re feeling down. So make a point to go to the spa, get your hair done, relax and unwind for a day, or go on a trip out of town. Spending time with yourself to process what has recently transpired in your life can help you internalize the lessons learned from these events and accept it for what it is.

 seven seduction suggestions for stutters Seven Seduction Suggestions For StuttersA well establish part of learning Seduction, and cultivating the skills of a seducer focuses on Verbal skills. The art of storytelling can be a cornerstone for making magic happen for Romance. BUT What if your verbal skills just are not up to par? What if, through no fault of your own, and you have a speech impediment that forbids you from making top use of your potential essential skills for seduction that requires verbiage? We are going to assume, for the purposes of this article, that your stuttering is a physical trait, meaning that speech therapy cannot solve your speech impediment problems. You have a stutter…you are still human. You want affection. You want intimacy. You want to date. You want sex. You want a relationship. Whatever it is you want, if your speech impediments are holding you back this article has some suggestions to help you get a seductive social life going.

Imagine being the bridge to help people connect with others who, like you, were a little unlucky or challenged with their ability to communicate. This can be hard to imagine for stutters that have been made to apologize for something that is not their fault. This is one way to help stutters combat the emotional stings from any stigmas their stuttering has brought them.
Another reason I recommend this, is that sometimes, the best way to cope and get past our own obstacles, is to focus on connecting with others and possibly helping others with their obstacles.
In fact it is my hope that once you immerse yourself into the sign language community, you might even meet some people who inspire you.
Imagine the effect it could have on your confidence when you meet someone that cannot hear or speak, that has achieved some of their life goals already; it might help you take a new perspective towards your stuttering, and give you the motivation to reach your love goals.
3- Learn To Cook
Learning to cook is a much underrated skill.
The ability to prepare a meal for someone you want to get romantic with opens up lots of possibilities.
Does the person you are interested in have any allergies and that is what makes them harder to date? Not for you! You can cook an allergen free meal for them.
Once you learn to cook for yourself, you will be a better option for a board pallet of people with varying tastes. Being able to offer someone a home cooked meal is a very enticing proposition. It also allows you to host that date at home (yours, or theirs), which means the two of you can get more comfortable together, much more quickly than a dinner date in public.
Also, cooking your own food can make the cost of dating a lot less expensive. You do not need to be a great speaker of words to be a great connoisseur of seductive cuisine.

Do you have to go to culinary school for a year to become a great chef? No, not unless you want to.
However, you can start with some recipe books, some online videos, or ask the people you know who can cook to teach you how to make a few choice savory dishes for the different meals of the day.
After all, what starts as a delicious dinner, with mouth-watering desserts, can very likely evolve to breakfast-in-bed the next morning. In that case, best be prepared to satisfy well-earned appetites.
Learning to cook is just one aspect of helping to create a romantic setting, which brings us to the next suggestion.

4-Master The Mood
You may not be able to eloquently recite poetic prose, but you can definitely learn to be exceptionally romantic.
I have an entire Romance Formula to help people that want to grow their romantic chops and it has already helped many people grow that romantic bone in their bodies, where there wasn’t any previously.
Later, you can check out that article here for the Frank Romance Formula.
For right now, start looking at ways to turn your home into the most romantic place you have ever been too.
Romance is all about stimulating the senses, and the easiest way to set yourself up as the most romantic person your dates will ever meet is to use your own home space.
- Is your home decorated in a way to evoke romantic feelings?
- Does the art work in your home display a welcoming energy for sexuality to be expressed and explored?
- Do keep your place smelling good and ready for spontaneous sex? Do you have an appropriately romantic music play list ready to go in your home, so that you do not have to go fiddling at the last minute?
- Do you have an assortment of beverages to offer your dates, and candles for them to light to help enhance the mood?
- Do you put enough attention on your wardrobe so that you present yourself as the most alluring “you” that your date will not be able to help but want to sample?
- Do you take care of BASIC HYGIENE?!? PLEASE!?!?!
Be mindful of things like body odor and bad breath and the smell of your hair.
You would be amazing that the things you think hold you back (like a stutter) are not things actually holding you back, but other things that most people take for granted as common sense.
I have an entire program on how to decorate your bachelor pad, for the purposes of seduction. It goes into great detail how to create a consistent romantic atmosphere, and if this is an area you struggle with, go buy the Pimping Your Pad program.
Do you not have to go to the extremes that the program suggests, but if your home space makes people want to leave, it is going to get in the way of you building a love-life.
A few simple fixes can turn a “let’s just be friends” to “I love hanging out with you and want to get closer”.
5-Learn to Dance
The style of dance is up to you.
If you like fast paced dancing, salsa dancing might be great for you. If you prefer a slower pace, move into ballroom dancing focusing on the waltz, fox trot and tango might be more to your liking.
Find the dance style that best matches your personality.
If you are not sure, take basic classes to learn the beginner steps to them all and see which ones you like best.
I also advise staying away from solo-style dancing…break dancing, belly dancing, pole dancing, etc...are great for exercise, very seductive, and a spectacular show…but that is just it…there is a difference between being in the spotlight and giving your date a show (which could very well turn them on too), and engaging WITH your date, to get your bodies in the habit of moving together gracefully and creating an energy between the two of you.
This is not about sexy and dirty dancing (although it has its charms). This is about learning to dance with a partner, and letting the way the two of you move to the music BE the conversation between the two of you.
- First, dance is a fun way of getting exercise (and you are going to want to get into better shape for the next suggestion).
- Second, dance classes and club/events hyper-focused on the dance experience is a great way to meet new people to potentially date.
- Third and most importantly, it will give you a way to attract and seduce new partners without having to rely on your verbal skills.
Doubt this is possible?
Try going to a wedding after 3 months of basic dance step lessons…and after one song comes on that you can dance appropriately too with the person who agreed to dance with you, you will be followed by many single (and some not so single) people that want to be the next one you choose to take a spin with.
You are not expected to be the next Fred Astaire…just know enough that you are no longer sitting down while everyone else is moving, and your dance steps involve more than continually counting 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 and a spin turn makes you lose count.
6- Be a Sex God
You do not have to be a great talker to be a great lover.
Learning to be a great lover is all about developing those skills.
This is not about having a porn star body type. This is about finding ways to learn how to touch a body, calibrate to the needs of different lovers, help your date reach orgasm, and to prevent sex from becoming boring.
Sex can quickly become routine if taking it for granted.
This is where you have an opportunity.
If you choose to be enthusiastic and pro-active, you can develop sex skills that will keep someone thinking of you even you are not around them.
There are books like this one, Instructional videos, workshops, and academic texts on learning about sexuality.
It is not just about how to be a better kisser (although that is a great start…put ice cubes in a glass and move them around with your tongue).
You must embark on a journey to learn everything you can about the human body, sexual organs, oral sex and even using sex toys, marital aids and fetishes.
Become the person that can handle the sexuality and sexual curiosities of every date you have, and be prepared to be the only person many of them feels safe enough to explore their fantasies with.
Depending on your particular boundaries and interests, this may also include going to your local BDSM-related workshops and discovering as many different forms of skin stimulation as you can.
Each person has their own combination of what is sexually satisfying, and the more you learn about how to have great sex, the more likely someone is going to give you more opportunities for ongoing sex.
Sex is not just about the knowing the body of your lovers, but it also involves the psychology of sex, and figuring out what can turn them on the most.
You do not need to have verbal skills to be the best lover they ever had. You do have to put in the effort to be attentive and be so knowledgeable about sex organs, sex toys and fetishes that you could give your own little workshop one day.
Leave your judgments behind, step out of your own comfort zone, and get to the point where you can make sure that every person you touch sexually will walk away with a huge smile…assuming they can walk at all once you are done with them.
And finally,
7-Learn the Emotional Needs
An emotional need is what a person has an emotional response to. It has nothing to do with what we THINK we should like and be attracted too.
Ever been attracted to someone that was bad for you? You were responding to an emotional need
Ever knew that you SHOULD date someone that was good for you, but you just did not feel attracted enough? Chances are your own emotional needs were jumbled, or the person unknowingly violated an emotional need of yours.
Learning the emotional needs will prevent you from ending up in the friend-zone, and allow for a person to feel inclined to becoming your lover.
Each person has emotional needs, but each person has a different emotional needs profile (meaning some, or one in particular, will be more important than the others) and it is up to you to address those more important emotional needs of the person for them to feel attraction towards you.
When you learn about your own emotional needs, you learn about your boundaries (or what should be your boundaries) and how to spot red flags, and stay away from people that would bring misery and harm to your life in the long term.
When you learn about the emotional needs of others, you learn what their actual core values are (not what they SAY are their values, but what they are really like behind politically correct masks), and become an excellent judge of character.
Once you know who they are at their core, you will know what makes them have sex and fall in love. Part of what you are going to learn when studying the Emotional Needs Analysis system is how your everyday behaviors and communications help people figure out if they should stay away from you, if they should just be friends with you, if they should have sex with you, or if they should pursue a serious relationship with you.
Love is not random. There is a pattern to creating attraction and studying the Emotional Needs Analysis system is about mastering those patterns.
Learning everything listed above is going to take some time. It may take 3 to 6 months to get most of the basic done on this list. But was is a 6 month investment compared to the quality of your future love life that you will enjoy for the rest of your days? If you go into the far future, and look back at today, I think you will agree that the short term investments are well worth the long term gains.
In Conclusion
We ALL have something that we compensate for.
I have been in this business for over 20 years, and I have yet to meet ANYONE that is not compensating for something.
Even the people we think have it all together and have it all figured out, have something they suck at, and have to make up for.
Some of the most successful people in the world had to give up on what they REALLY wanted to do with their lives, because they simply did not have what it takes to make it in life, in that way.
The key to happiness is not about obsessing on what you do not have, or what you are unable to do, but in re-focusing on the things you do have going in your favor and learning new skills to open doors that are closed to you at the moment.
You have a future were stuttering does not hold you back from the things you desire. You just have to take a different route to get to the same destination. Happy trails!

Read 5 ways that can help you move forward after a breakup.
Going through a break up will never be easy, especially if this is your first. It is completely normal to feel isolated and lonely when your relationship ends, but it will soon pass. You might have done everything in your control to improve your relationship from a marriage counselor to a different living situation; sometimes you have to accept that things have come to an end. If you’re struggling to see past your break up right now, here are a few ways in which you can combat loneliness and feel like yourself again.
Keep Yourself Busy
The best thing to do after a break up is keep your mind off the situation. Obviously, you shouldn’t ignore all of the negative emotions you’re feeling; allow yourself to be upset for a short while if it helps. However, you should never wallow in your own self pity for too long, otherwise it will escalate into something even worse. Keep yourself busy with a chatlines page, go out to lunch with a friend or find another fun activity that you know you will enjoy.
If Your Relationship Ends, You Can Work Towards Feeling Like Yourself Again
Don’t Make Contact
No matter how tempted you are, you should never make contact with the person you’ve broken up with. This can come across as pretty desperate and you don’t want to be in that position. Even if you really miss communicating with them, it will help you to cold turkey rather than teasing yourself with messages that will never benefit you.
Dive into a New Hobby
Now is the perfect time to dive into a brand new hobby and find something you truly enjoy doing. You don’t have to choose anything outrageous, but think carefully about what you’ve always wanted to do. Whether you want to take an art class or go salsa dancing, use all of your free time to pursue something fulfilling!
Refocus Your Energy
Steer your focus away from your ex and use your energy for something else. Start a new exercise regime or get outside in the fresh air once a day. Find a way to energize yourself and you will instantly feel better.
Focus on the Positives
Even when your whole life feels like it’s falling apart, there are still so many ways to be positive. Write down all of the amazing things you have going on in your life and you will start to feel a whole lot happier. Don’t take for granted your friends, family, job and the roof over your head. It can feel like everything is going wrong right now, but there are a lot of things that are amazing.
As soon as you start making these active changes in your life you will start to feel so much better about yourself. You need to know that the break up wasn’t necessarily a reflection on you as a person; it just wasn’t meant to be. Find your inner strength and you will soon find your own coping mechanism to recover. Feeling lonely is tough, if you use these methods from now on, you will come out stronger in the end.
Learn 6 signs that can signal the need for a marriage counselor.
There is no denying that marriage can sometimes be challenging. Things like complacency can set into marriages over time, as can issues with communication, leading to all kinds of problems. And if those issues don’t get resolved or even identified, those brewing problems can soon turn into an exploding volcano complete with spectacularly upsetting results.
Of course, there are steps that couples can take to mitigate the likelihood of problems reaching the point of no return. The first is to identify and admit when there’s a problem, as only then can the two people involved work together towards resolving marriage issues before they reach a crisis point. Whether you’re happy with your marriage or not, here are six signs that you both potentially need to see a marriage counselor:

The first is to identify and admit when there’s a problem, as only then can the two people involved work together towards resolving marriage issues before they reach a crisis point. Whether you’re happy with your marriage or not, here are six signs that you both potentially need to see a marriage counselor:
There Are Steps Couples Can Take Before Reaching The Point Of No Return
1. You find each other unapproachable
Do you both find it hard to communicate with each other? And do you think twice before approaching each other to ask a question, for example? If so, they are sure-fire signs that your marriage needs some professional help. When you do seek advice, asking how to deal with poor communication should be at the top of your marriage counseling questions to ask.
2. Your sex life is non-existent
Sometimes not having enough intimate time with each other can be attributed to things like stress, fatigue, or other medical reasons. If you’re quite confident that your partner is merely finding excuses not to be intimate with you, it could be a sign they want to distance themselves from you.
3. You can’t get over past indiscretions
Has your spouse cheated on you in the past? If that’s the case, it’s only natural that you find it difficult to let go of such previous indiscretions. When someone cheats on you, it’s a real struggle to trust that person again for obvious reasons. There’s always a reason why people cheat in a marriage, so it’s worth talking things through with a marriage counselor to find out what that reason was in the past.
4. You’ve both lost a child
Losing a child at any age is something you wouldn’t even wish on your worst enemy. In such times, it’s important to be there for each other. After all, marriage is all about sticking with each other through the good times and the bad. But if your spouse has been distant and “cold” with you since the loss of your child, you’ll need to work things out together with the help of a marriage counselor.
5. You always argue over money
Apart from communication, one of the most common reasons for couples to fall out with each other in a marriage is over finances. It’s usually because one person isn’t fulfilling their financial obligations, such as paying household expenses.
6. Your spouse spends too much time working
Let’s face it: we all need to earn a living to pay our bills and survive. Is your spouse spending too much time working and not much time with you and your family? If so, a marriage counselor can help you both find ways to achieve a better work-life balance.
Dating doesn't have to be boring! Read more about how you can make your dates more interesting and memorable too!
Try A Different Kind Of Date To Make It More Enjoyable
It’s very easy for us to get too formulaic about this whole ‘dating’ process. First you meet someone in person or online, then you speak a little, then you go on a date, perhaps for a meal or bowling or something else active, and then you do that a few times. You’ll decide if you like the person or not, and from there, things may become a little more serious, if only just.
If this works for you, then you deserve to enjoy that process. There’s no reason why this can’t be a successful approach. And yet for some people, going through the motions simply isn’t enough. These are the people who actually wish for a good time on a date rather than ‘ticking all the boxes.’ We would recommend you try to see what it’s like to follow this path, a little off the beaten track. To do this, you have to provide your date an experience slightly out of the norm, and also provide that for yourself. This way, you may find your dating experience is much more memorable than it would have been otherwise.
Let’s see what this may look like:
Head On A Double Date
A double date experience with a friend can be a great idea, and it can bring with it a range of hilarious new memories. It can also take the bite out of a first date, be that the tense exchange you might have with someone new, or the artifice you may feel. When you can laugh as a small group and select the best double date ideas together, you have more of a chance of making a success from the evening. Approaches like this signify novelty, and more than anything, the willingness to have fun.
Show Them Something You Care About
Showing your date something that matters to you can be important. For instance, if you work in a museum, it might be that showing them around the private collections in a curated showing could be something you organize with your boss in your downtime, provided you work overtime to justify it. Don’t be afraid of bringing them into your world, be that culturally, through your passions or even profession. Sometimes shared passion can mean so much more than polite small talk.
Jump Into Their World
If you hope to bring them into your world, don’t be afraid to ask them to show you theirs. For instance, it might be that they’re a dancer, and would love nothing more than to see a show taking place in the city that weekend. If you can curate a date idea based around a passion of theirs, or to surprise them based on the information they have given you, they may just see how well you have thought this out. It’s always nice to learn and experience something new, even if it’s not your usual cup of tea.
With these date ideas, you’re sure to provide and gain a truly magical and novel dating experience.
Learn some wedding planning tips before you say I do!
There’s nothing like the thought of having to say I do that’ll send shivers down your spine. The thought of having to walk down the aisle and see everyone staring at you is enough to put some people off. Most of us want to get married, and we love the thought of being with the person that we love for the rest of our lives. But comfortably getting to that point is not as easy as it used to be. There’s plenty of things that you need to do before saying I do. You need to be so prepared that you think about nothing but the love for your partner during the day. You don’t want to spend the day rushing around making sure everyone is happy and everything is running how it should do. So, we’re going to show you some of the things to say before saying I do, so that you can have the most magical wedding day.
A Well Planned Wedding Leads To A Magical Wedding Day
Bridesmaids & Groomsmen
Your entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen is either going to be absolutely huge, or you'll have a small party of people following closely behind you. They’re the people who are going to support your decisions throughout, and basically just go with the flow of what you’re doing for the day. But there’s a few things that you’ll have to do to ensure they’re happy with the whole day, and the first is picking what style dress and suit you want them to have. For the females, it’s more about style and colour. An olive green bridesmaid dress might suit one girl, whereas another finds it horrible. So you start to see one big problem before you say I do, and that’s keeping everyone else happy. The best way to do so is letting them have an input into what they’re going to be wearing, and doing all day!
Wedding Favours & The Food
The wedding favours are the little bit of the day that everyone gets to take home with them. They’re called wedding favours, but they’re more like a little gift for everyone who has managed to turn up. There are so many design ideas to look at on the internet, but try and make it personal to you, or perhaps personal to the guest. It depends how much effort you want to put into this, but it is nice for your guests to go home with something great to remember the day by.
The Venue & The Photographer
These two go hand in hand. Once you’ve secured the venue, you need to find out about how many they’ll allow, where cars can pull up, and where the best location is going to be for the photos afterwards. Working closely with the venue and finding everything out from the get go will prevent any dramas. There are always reviews on the internet to guide you towards a good photographer as well! You want someone who is going to be able to capture the magic of the day that you’re having!
Discover 6 tips on how you can make your proposal amazing!
Plan Your Proposal To Be Personalized And Memorable
Want your marriage proposal to be amazing? Check out these pro tips for proposing with style:
Choose the Right Setting
We’ve all been blown away by those amazing public proposals in romantic settings like the tops of the Eiffel tower, or where flash mobs are involved, and they can be perfect, but only if the person you’re proposing to is into that kind of thing. For some people public proposals are amazing, but for others, a private affair is entirely more suitable. So, before you decide on the public or private issue, really think about what your intended would like. Get it wrong and it could be a disaster!
Somewhere Stunning
If you can, try to choose somewhere picturesque or fancy to propose. It’s an important moment, so you want all of your memories to be amazing, and having the right setting will help with that. Whether it’s a mountain, beach, of fancy restaurant doesn’t matter, just make it special.
Personalize It
Personalizing your proposal will make it even more special for both of you. So, if you both have a special place that’s meaningful to you as a pair, pop the question there, or if you know your fiancee values ethical fashion, consult with a ring concierge for the perfect diamond. It doesn’t matter what little touches you add, just be sure to add some details that shows them you pay attention and you care.
Record It
Hiring a professional photographer and videographer is a great idea. It allows you to forever capture the moment when you agree to join together as one. Of course, if your budget doesn’t stretch to that you can have friends or family capture the moment instead. Oh, and if your bride to be is more on the shy private side, you may want to do something a little more subtle, like a selfie, to capture the moment instead.
Don’t Stress
If you’re stressed out, you may end up stumbling over your words or being so paralyzed that you can’t even get the words out. So, do everything you can to plan for the proposal in advance and then relax. You can do no more than ask the question - the outcome of whether there will be a wedding or not is not ultimately up to you and there is no point sweating about it.
Plan a Celebration
If they say yes, what happens then? Some proposals end up being an anti-climax because once the question has been asked and answered, things are just left hanging. Don’t let that happen to you by planning a celebration for after the main event. This could be a simple picnic for the two of you in your spot or an arrangement to meet up with friends and family at a favourite bar - it doesn’t matter much as long as you make sure there’s something to do to keep the celebratory mood going for as long as possible.
Planning a proposal that wows is, as you can see, way easier than you might think. Good luck!

So, with all that in mind, take a look at these top 5 dating myths debunked for you here today:
Know Fact From Fiction When You Are Dating
Myth 1: Online dating is for losers
Far from it! With today’s hectic work schedules and social calendars, it can often be challenging to find the time to do “offline” dating. The thing about Internet dating is that it offers a convenient way for like-minded people to connect, learn more about each other, and eventually meet up. More people turn to online dating each year, making its popularity increase all the time. So, no, online dating is not for losers. It’s for people that want a convenient and safe way to find love!
Myth 2: Online dating’s the only alternative to offline dating
You may not realize it, but there are a few different ways you can connect and meet up with people. And certainly in a non-offline setting! Yes, online dating is perhaps the most common way to find people that you wouldn’t otherwise have met. But, there are other alternatives too.
For example, looking at thechatlinenumbers.com you’ll see that it’s possible to connect with others via telephone. And let’s not forget penpals, video, and mail-based dating services!
It May Take Several Dates To Feel A Connection
Myth 3: Not “clicking” on a first date is bad news
In many cases, if two people don’t click on their first meeting, it doesn’t always mean there is no “spark” there to develop things further. Often, it can mean that one of the pair is perhaps an introvert and anxious about making their feelings or intentions known for fear of rejection. In those cases, a few more dates between the pair might be needed before the less confident of the two plucks the courage to develop the relationship. Take a look at this interesting article from berkeley.edu on the subject.
Myth 4: First impressions always count
When you meet someone for the first time and hope to impress them, such as for a job interview, you’ll likely want to do some preparation first. You’ll also wish to dress for success. But, some people are quite confident by nature and don’t feel the need to “push the boat out” as the saying goes. To quote another saying, don’t judge a book by its cover. In other words, don’t assume what gets presented in front of you is the best that person can or will offer.
Myth 5: You shouldn’t listen to what other people think
When it comes to dating someone, it’s always a good idea to gauge the opinion of your close friends and family members. Sure, there will always be one person in your inner circle that thinks your date is a bad idea. But, if most of those people are saying the same thing, you need to reconsider your options!
Do you struggle with online dating? Change your approach to online dating by following these 3 simple tips.
You Can Be Successful At Online Dating
Online dating can be a real nightmare and some people swear it off completely. You have a huge range of potential partners that you can match up with but that inevitably means that you will end up going on a lot of bad dates with people that aren’t right for you at all. It can be quite exhausting after a string of terrible dates and you might decide that you’re just going to give up on it. But online dating isn’t necessarily the problem, it may just be the way that you are approaching it. If you follow these simple tips, you should have more success with online dating.
Choose The Right Sites
Most people go straight for dating apps like Tinder or Bumble, but they aren’t the only places for online dating. They don’t have a good reputation for finding long term relationships and even though some people do meet their future spouse on there, a lot of people don’t. But there are plenty of other dating sites out there that are better at matching you with people that want similar things to you. For example, the site arablounge match people from arab countries together. It helps them to find people that share the same cultural and religious values, which makes for better long term relationships. You can find all sorts of sites that match by religion or profession. Finding somebody that has a similar lifestyle and shares your values makes it a lot easier to meet people that you could see a future with. Spend some time exploring different sites and you will find that you are more successful.
Make Your Profile Bio Specific
When you write your bio, don’t just put boring interests like going to the cinema or taking long walks on the beach. Loads of people like doing those things but that doesn’t mean that they are the right person for you. If you want to attract people that you are compatible with, you need to be more specific. Write about what you want out of a relationship and what your core values are. Most importantly, try to show your personality in there so people have a real sense of what kind of person you are. With the right bio, you will get more matches from people that you are actually interested in dating.
Be Efficient With Your Dates
When you are online dating, you are always going to have bad dates, even if you follow the previous tips. The key is finding out whether somebody is right for you or not on the first or second date so you can move on and meet new people if the relationship isn’t going to go anywhere. You don’t want to wait until you are 3 months in before finding out that you are not compatible. Make sure that you ask the right questions so you can get a real sense of who they are and what they want from a relationship. General chit chat about your hobbies might be fun, but it doesn’t help you get to know somebody properly.
Before you give up on online dating for good, try changing your approach and you may find that you have more success.
Have you just moved? Make friends with your neighbors. Read this article to learn how!
Make Friends With Your New Neighbors As Early As Possible
Moving is a long-term process that doesn’t end once you arrive in your new home. After you paid for long-distance movers you hired, you now have to work on creating healthy relationships with your neighbors. These individuals can significantly affect the quality of your life, which is why you should befriend them as early as possible.
Contrary to popular belief, making friends in a new neighborhood isn’t tough. There are actually a lot of strategies that can help you accomplish this task. As long as you’re willing and pour in time with your efforts, it won’t be long before the entire neighborhood becomes your buddies!
Here are some easy tips for you to make friends in a new neighborhood:
1. Greet Your Neighbors On The First Day
You’ll have to accomplish several tasks once you arrive in your new home. Even if you hired professional long-distance moving companies, you still have to unpack all of your moving and decorate your house to make it feel comfortable.
But regardless of how busy you are on this day, don’t forget to greet any neighbor you see in the area. Do you see someone taking their dogs for a walk around the block? Smile and greet them. Is the family living in front of you playing in their yard? Wave and say, “hi.” If you have the chance to talk to them, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself first.
These might be simple gestures, but it can create a positive impression about your personality. If your neighbors see how friendly you are, they will be motivated to know you better.
2. Explore The Community
Moving to a new neighborhood is like starting from scratch. You’ll be unfamiliar with the street names, landmarks, and nearby establishments. This is especially true if you choose to move to another country.
You can adjust faster if you set aside some time to explore the community. When you wake up early in the morning to run around your neighborhood, you’ll have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the area and meet neighbors, as well.
If you see a couple lounging in their patio, inquire where the nearest daycare center, pharmacy, or dog-friendly park is. Aside from knowing more about the community, asking help from your neighbors can also help you gain a lot of friends.
These people might even volunteer to personally show you around the neighborhood if they notice that you and your familiar have zero background on the area.
Invite Your New Neigbours To Attend Events
3. Make Future Plans
Creating meaningful friendships takes time. Meeting someone once doesn’t warrant that the two of you will become the best of friends. More often than not, meetings should be more frequent and fun for you to make friends.
When talking with your neighbors, don’t hesitate to end the conversation with a plan. Instead of merely saying goodbye to your neighbor, let them know that your family is holding a backyard party for the weekend and invite them to come over.
If your kid’s birthday is just around the corner, let them know that you’re hosting a party and hand out invitations to them. This invitation will surely excite your neighbors, especially if they have kids, too.
Making future plans with your neighbors is a great way to cultivate friendships since they are not pressured to make a decision on the spot. And regardless if they’re coming or not, your intent in inviting them will create an impression about how accommodating you are as a new neighbor.
Inviting several neighbors in one event also helps you gain a lot of friends faster. Just make sure that your house or backyard is enough to accommodate all of your new found friends!
You’ll Reap What You Sow
Once you know who your neighbors are, continue to reach out to them so you can foster healthy relationships. Regularly invite them to your house for dinner or have their kids play with your own kids during weekends.
Although tedious, doing all of these things to earn new friends will surely be worth it in the end!
