Tips for Improving Intimacy
Mar 21st, 2007 | Intimacy, Relationship Advice
It is inevitable! After a certain period of time, you and your partner will encounter moments when you feel less intimate with one another. Lack of intimacy can be emotional, physical, or both. Often, these are passing phases in a relationship, but due to the stress that lack of intimacy can cause, many relationships fail to bounce back after this period.

You’ve been together for a long time, but now you can’t wait to be single again. You’ve been fighting constantly, never seem to agree on anything, and the thought of spending a night together bores you terribly. To top it off, you’ve been thinking that maybe it is time to call it quits.
Date Movie: "City of Angels"
Mar 18th, 2007 | Date Movies, Romance
City of Angels (ROMANCE – 1998 – Starring Nicolas Cage & Meg Ryan): It’s a story of an angel who forgoes his immortality and place in heaven to be with the woman he loves on earth. It’s a love story, but more specifically, it makes one question how much he/she would sacrifice for the sake of love. It’s a little bit of a tear jerker so make sure you have the Kleenex handy!

Mar 12th, 2007 | Commitment, Relationship Advice
Many people are afraid of the big C – also known as commitment. However, without commitment many relationships are doomed for failure. Some people are so afraid of committing in a relationship that they actually have a phobia about it. Many relationships end suddenly because one partner is ready for a commitment and the other is not. Whether you are thinking about a marriage commitment or just interested in dating your partner exclusively, commitment is a big step and one that both partners need to agree upon before taking together. If one party is committed and the other is not, a troubled journey lies ahead. Here are some issues to take into consideration to help determine if you are ready for a commitment.
Date Movie: “Say Anything”
Mar 11th, 2007 | Date Movies, Romance
When I stared writing this blog back in June, I set aside a little section called “Date Movies” where I began to list some great movies that you could check out with your date or significant other (in fact, it was the first blog post I ever wrote). Needless to say, I have neglected this portion of the blog…even though I promised to feature a different movie each week. So without further ado, I will start of with one of my favorite romantic films, Say Anything.
Say Anything (ROMANCE – 1989 – Starring John Cusack and Ione Skye): Written and Directed by Cameron Crowe, Say Anything is a feel-good romantic comedy about first love. Lloyd (John Cusack) is an optimistic High School graduate whose only certainty in life is that he wants to be with Diane (Ione Skye), a straight-A student whose future is all planned out by her over-protective father (played by John Mahoney). Is their love strong enough to withstand their differences and Diane’s disapproving father?

Let’s face it, movie critics can have a lot of power and what they say can either bring in visitors or keep them away (most of the time). But have you ever decided to keep track of those critics who can’t seem to get it right?
Is He Cheating On Me?
Mar 9th, 2007 | Infidelity, Relationship Advice
Infidelity is one of the hardest things to go through in a relationship. What may even be worse then finding out that your boyfriend is cheating on you, is wondering if it is happening or not. At first, you may see signs and begin to have doubts. You may even ask if there is someone else. He empathically answers no and assures you that everything is ok, but still you continue to have your doubts. You may even feel as if you are going crazy or feel upset that you don’t trust your boyfriend. Well, before you decide to elicit the help of the “Cheaters” team, here are some things that you can look out for to help determine if in fact, he is cheating on you.
Topics Not For Discussion! (First Date Rules)
Mar 7th, 2007 | Dating Advice, First Dates
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Therefore, what happens on a first date can set the course of your future. If you want to ensure that your first date is a hit and leads to a second, then you may want to curb your topic of conversation and stay away from some issues that are sure to stir up the waters of debate. Controversy is not a great subject for first date dinner discussions (unless both parties are members of a debate team) but even then, it would be better to stick with general and more pleasant dialogue. Here are some issues that should be avoided at all cost when on a first date.
