How to Find Out is She's Into You

by Charisse Van Horn

It can be tough trying to figure out if a girl is into you or not. By watching a girl’s behavior, her mannerisms, and the way that she acts when your near is a good way to determine if she’s into your or not. This can be especially important if you’re thinking about taking a relationship with a friend to the next level. The best way to find out if a girl likes you or not is to ask.

Ten Almost Surefire Signs He Likes You

by Karen Talavera

Sometimes romantic relationships are clear as glass. You see each other, feel a mutual interest, go on a date, and sit back as things take off from there. There's never much ambiguity about what your romantic intentions are for each other. And while that easy clarity is always nice, unfortunately you don't always get it. Especially when you develop romantic feeling for a friend, a friend of a friend, or a long-time acquaintance, it can be difficult to tell when the relationship shifts.

Why Women Aren't Attracted to "Nice Guys"

by Karen Talavera

When I'm talking about this subject, I always feel like I'm treading over dangerous ground. Because I'm a girl who does like nice guys...and I know that other women want men to treat them decently, too. But here's something else that I think is true for most women: while we say that we want a nice guy to treat us like a princess and buy us flowers and worship us...we're kind of, well...lying. And most of us don't even realize it.

The Battle Between Looks and Personality

by Karen Talavera

Every time I hear this famous Harry Belafonte song, it makes me think about the importance of looks in romance:

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you!"

I always wondered if Belafonte was married, and if so, what his wife thought of that particular ditty!

Or does personality have a greater effect on attraction in the long run?

How to tell when it's time to end a date

by Denise Shively

I've had my fair share of horrible dates – who hasn't? Before, I'd usually suffer through them in silence, making small talk and pretending to laugh at their less-than-humorous jokes.

Eventually, I started to realize that not only was I making myself miserable; I was leading the poor sap on! I can't tell you how many times guys have called me after a first date, only to realize after the 17th call I had no desire to go out with them again…

But, I digress.

How Do You Know When It's The Right Time?

by Sheilah Brooks

No two ways about it, we are led by our physical desires. Initially, we pick each other based on how physically attracted we are to each other and if we don’t step back and catch our breath, those emotions can often cloud our thinking and get in the way of us getting to know that person. All reasoning becomes obsolete as our physical emotions take over.

Do We Have Chemistry?

by Ron Zvagelsky

Is There Chemistry?I am sure that you’ve heard of, "love at first sight", or "opposites attract", or even heard the statement, "we had instant chemistry". If you’ve ever wondered if there was anything scientific to prove any of these declarations you may be surprised to learn that there are. Many scientific studies are showing that hormones play a strong role in the early stages of a relationship. When couples first fall in love, a number of hormones are on the rise. These hormones elevate feelings of pleasure and explain why couples in love can only think about each other and feel as if they're walking on air.

When an individual first meets a potential love interest, the first question they usually have is whether or not the other party is interested in him or her. If the chemistry exists, then hormones will be elevated and though you may not be able to take a blood test, you can check for certain behaviors. Here are some signs that will let you know whether or not you and your person of interest have chemistry.
