10 Tips For Perfect Kissing

Do you kiss like a sink plunger? Snog like a fish or have been told you kiss like a vampire? Well help is on hand! We have Ten Tips that will have you kissing like a real Romeo with enough passion to have your lady weak at the knees in no time!

Lip Maintenance

Your lips are one of the most sensitive parts of your body, they are are prone to sun and wind damage which can make them dry or chapped. As a perfect kisser you do need to have nice lips. We are not suggesting that you start to wear ladies lippy! lol but a little lip balm on a regular basis will keep your lips very soft and kissable.

Relationship Status

Before you even think about going in for a snog you need to think about your relationship with the lady in question. Have you just met? Have you been seeing her for a while? Is she your wife or long term partner? You need to tailor your kiss depending on your relationship status, after all you don’t want to scare the poor girls away by getting too passionate to quickly.

Read The Signs?

There is nothing more embarrassing than going in for a kiss before the girl or lady is ready, it leads to blushing (yes men blush !!) and you’ll no doubt feel like a right plonker. Read your girls body language, is she getting closer to you? Is she touching you affectionately? There will be signs that she’s thinking of kissing you or wanting to kiss you, so make sure you pay attention. This way you will know the right moment. Hat tip: check out our Signs Of Attraction article if your not to sure where you stand!

Gently Does It

It’s always best to go in gently with the first kiss, there’s no rush and it’s always nice to tease a little. Start off softly, gently brushing your lips against hers, even if you’ve been with the girl or lady for a long time. Show her you have a sensual side and give her a taste what may come later. Depending on how she responds you can then decide to get more passionate or not, this way you are less likely to get it wrong.

Body Space

Don’t be too up close and personal straight away as she may feel uncomfortable especially if it’s a new relationship. The last thing you need is her thinking you are too full on. Try to let her move towards you, this way she will feel in control of the kiss and relaxed enough to let things flow.

Don’t Drown Her

For goodness sake make sure you give yourself chance to swallow, from a kissers point of view nothings worse than feeling like your snogging a wet fish. It is possible to swallow just using your tongue towards the back of your mouth, this way you don’t have to break the perfect kiss. The kiss should be perfect for you and her so make sure she doesn’t feel like she’s drowning!

To Tongue Or Not To Tongue

French kissing (using your tongue) should only be used at the right moment, again you have to assess your relationship and situation. Slipping your tongue into a girls mouth when you are on a first date can be seen as too forward as well as possibly embarrassing for her. Also passionately French kissing in the wrong place or at the wrong time can again cause embarrassment for your lady as well as people around you. If you want to be the perfect pucker upper then you need to keep French kissing to moments when you have a chance to take things further. Depending on the girl, 99% first time kisses are done in private. The perfect French kiss should be slow, teasing and sexy, just like foreplay.

Hands On?

Knowing what to do with your hands can leave you feeling awkward after all you don’t want to seem like an octopus but you don’t want to seem like an amateur either. You can combat this by showing your affection without copping a feel. While you are sharing your intimate moment you could gently take her hands in yours, maybe softly cup her face with your hands or if it’s not a new relationship you could caress up and down her back to make her tingle all over. Again you are showing her what may come later.

Eyes Wide Open

While you enjoying your perfect kissing moment with your beautiful lady don’t be tempted to open your eyes to see if she has hers open. We’ve all been there and as you know, the moment you do, your eyes lock and you instantly break the kiss. Be confident enough to keep your eyes closed and just enjoy the experience. If she opens her eyes and sees that yours are closed there’s a good chance she’ll get back to enjoying the experience.

Practice Makes Perfect

Don’t panic if you aren’t a great kisser, like everything practice does make perfect and if you use our tips, with time your kissing skills will improve. You may find that some of these tips aren’t for you and some are. Everyone is different and don’t forget not all girls and ladies are good kisser’s either so you are not alone.

Do you have any good kissing tips you would like to share? As always, leave them in the comments

Top 10 Stupid Ways to Become Famous

Have you ever dreamt of being a celebrity or at least so famous that everybody knows who you are only by looking at you for a second? If you don’t look like Brad Pitt or Cristiano Ronaldo and are even not good at acting or have incredibly talented at football, it’s quite impossible to become somebody. But wait, if you’re those wannabes but you’re not qualified at all, do not worry! We have several ways out for you but you’ve gotta make sure you’re kind of an extraordinary person

1. Sell your life on eBay

eBay is a center point for online traders and buyers around the world, why don’t you try selling some weird stuff, really weird I mean, in order to become famous. Recently, a British man has sold his entire life; car, house, job and an introduction to his friends on eBay for 200,000 pounds and now he is well known He’s appeared on the media including in the online news which surely will make him more famous! You might want to repeat the idea unless you don’t mind being a homeless celeb.

2. Attack the United States of America

Had you ever known who Osama bin laden was before he was claimed to be involved with the 9/11 attack? Most of you might not have even heard of his name but now you even know where he’s from and what he looks like as you’ve seen his pictures everywhere. Also, a Korean Cho Seung-Hui became well known worldwide as the Virginia Tech massacre with his biography on wikipedia after committing mass murder of 32 people. Deal with the US if you dare and if you’re fool enough!

3. Be a freak on youtube

This is the easiest way although it might sound a little bit stupid as you have to act like a weirdo and people throughout the world will get to see you freaking out! You just shoot a video with you on it and put it on youtube, make sure it looks creepy, weird or funny enough. Not really sure if you will succeed? Ask Chris Crocker on ‘Leave Britney Alone’ or a guy from ‘Cholates Rain’. Their videos have gained millions of views so far.

4. Assassinate someone famous

Life is not lasting but fame is! Killing someone famous will make you famous, the more famous that person is, the more well known you are because his/her fame will pass directly to you as a murderer! The way is pretty easy as you don’t have to prepare loads of stuff for video shooting or to go online for an auction, you just kill someone famous and then prepare for the upcoming fame. You’re guaranteed to be extremely famous especially in a prison!

5. Make a home sex video

This way is a little bit similar to acting like a freak in youtube but making a home sex video offers you a better chance as sex is always alluring to people. If your sex scenes are seductive enough, you might not only become famous on the video. If you’re lucky, someone could contact you to be a professional porn star. If not, you’re just a famous amateur one and might receive a thousands thank-yous for the free and tantalising video.

6. Commit suicide in a peculiar way

After your peculiar suicide commitment, do not leave a note telling why you commit suicide to make it more mysterious. You will appear in the front page of several local newspapers, online news world wide and you could be celebrating your fame somewhere. The world will be stunned with the way you could come up with about the suicide and it will become talk of the town. People will definitely want to know who you are and how come you were born this stupid.

7. A scandal with a celebrity

Either you used to or now date or a celeb or only break into a celeb’s house, you tend to become famous! While you’re dating a famous person, you’re inevitably tracked by paparazzi and they can easily find out who you are in no time. Even if you’re only an ex boyfriend or ex husband of a female star, you still catch those paparazzi’s attention and that way you lose all your privacy but it’s worth trying if your heart is already set on being a famous person.

8. Criticise other religions

Religion is a prohibited topic in any kind of conversations as it could lead to a severe contradiction. So another stupid way to make yourself well known is to criticise or insult other religions and mimic them with funny cartoons. You will absolutely be condemned for your deed and you will get a chance to make your first appearance on TV, newspaper and also on the internet. Buddhists and Muslims take their religions seriously so it’s not wise to make yourself famous by this way. I don’t even think it’s worth having it a go!

9. Enter a reality show and be crazy

Nowadays, reality shows are exceedingly seen on TV, why don’t you join one of them? The most important thing is to make yourself stand out from others, find your unique identity and express it out. The more crazy and freak you are, the more recognised you get. You will become a well-known person, people could be pointing at you while you’re walking on a street, gossiping that “look at him, he’s kind of a weirdo in the reality show!” Anyway, look at the bright side, they at least know your name and your identity!

10. Get naked in a football stadium

Get naked, run into the pitch amidst thousands of spectators, go straight to a well-known footballer, get arrested and become famous! Your name and pictures of you will be released in newspapers. You’re not only famous among those football fans in the stadium, but also among those world-class footballers who know who you are and will always remember what you did!

What men do wrong when it’s all going right in a relationship!

The beginning of a relationship is definitely one of the best feeling you can ever experience. It’s that time when you both are getting to know each other, discovering each others habits and needs. Her looks and touch make your heart melt and the sound of her voice is like the sweetest song to your ears. Six months into the relationship and you feel that this is definitely it, it’s all working out great. You both are madly in love and her friends envy her for having such a caring and loving boyfriend. The time you spend together is precious and filled with laughs and the sex is absolutely mind blowing. You still can’t get enough of each other and long to be together when you’re apart.

A year gone by and things are starting to look slightly different than they first were. You’re having small arguments way to often. Her face no longer lights quite as much as it used to when she see’s you. Instead of cuddling up and watching a movie in bed together, she’s often out with her mates. You’re no longer looked up to as the “super cool” boyfriend that you were made out to be by her mates. Hmm.. so why this change in attitude? You ask yourself, ‘What did I do wrong now’??

This is a common problem faced by most men when in a relationship. What you guys don’t understand is that women like to be treated in the same manner that they were on their first date. As time goes by, men often tend to overlook emotions and feelings involved and start to take many things for granted. As you fall into a more comfortable relationship make sure you don’t take the fun out of the things you used to do. Here are a few don’ts that you can follow:

Do not treat your woman like your mother/maid: As couples tend to grow closer a certain behavioral pattern tends to start automatically form. Unintentionally, certain things tend to be taken for granted. From a sexy siren or a real cutie, your woman becomes someone who gives unconditional love or is a tireless listener. While it is healthy to have such feeling to a certain extent, remember lads your woman is not your maid or your mother! Do not take things for granted and remember to take notice or express gratitude when she goes out of her way to do something for you!

Resist temptation: Sure there are a lot of nice looking hotties out there and it’s only natural that you are bound to look if you come across one. That’s how far as it should go. Don’t ogle at some other woman with lustful eyes when you’re out with your girl. That is bound to put her right off you. And if you are happy with the woman you are already with, do not jeopardize what you’ve got just for a fling on the side!

Are you sure you’ve been spending enough time with her doing things that interest her too? Say it’s your day off and you’ve been dreaming all week of catching up with your mates at the golf course. After a long day playing golf for the better half of the day you drop in to your mate’s house for a couple of beers! Get back home and all hell breaks loose! Sounds familiar? ‘Quality Time’ is the key word here. You’re not expected to give up your hobbies but try striking a balance between the two. Do not put your mates, relatives, hobbies, animals etc before her. Nothing should be more important than your relationship. If a woman feel neglected she stops communicating and responding. Try thinking up of some activities that the two of you would enjoy doing together.

Do you think you’re being overly possessive or domineering? Remember never to turn your woman into a possession. Sure, if circumstances call for, you should step up and take charge, but no woman likes to be constantly told what to do, where to go, who she can interact with, what to wear etc. Keep your temper in check and don’t go around making false accusations or being the jealous kinds. Women like their men to be slightly possessive, it makes them feel loved; but there is a big difference between possessiveness and acting like Hitler! Both partners play an equal role in a relationship and none is beneath the other. As long as you’re clear on that, you should be in for a smooth ride!

Don’t try to invoke too much control over your woman. Control freaks are seen as very insecure people who no one likes to be associated with. You don’t have to have the last word in every scenario just because you wear the pants in the house. Avoid power struggles as it leads to nothing but tension and competition among the couple, which has no room in a relationship. Do stand up for what you believe gently.

Don’t be the overly kissy kissy kinds all the time, it just gets boring! It’s nice to let your woman crave for you rather than always throwing it out there all the time. Say the words ‘I love you’, when you actually mean it. That will make her feel loved and wanted.

Don’t let your friends or family dictate your relationship. That’s a very bad idea. No woman would be happy to hear criticism coming especially from your mum, cousins, friends or anyone in your family. Sort out your personal disputes behind closed doors and don’t ever put your loved one down in front of others. It’s just not cool!

Communication! This is definitely the key! Communicate with your partner. You don’t have to hide your fears, needs or feelings just to portray a Macho image all the time. Relax, let your guard down. Talk about things that are disturbing you. If you leave a small issue unresolved and let it keep eating at you, it is bound to turn into a big problem, which will not be pretty later. Talk, let those emotions out. How do you expect to get closer to someone without knowing how they feel?

A combination of all the above factors should definitely help you to always remain number 1 in her books. Good luck to all you out there!!

The Pros and Cons Of Online Dating

In Today’s era, computers play a big role in our day to day activities that affect our lives. From train tickets to planes, electronic gadgets to a simple shopping spree, we see a dominance of the use of computers in our everyday lives. So why should dating be any different then? A few years ago while the common belief was that only nerds and geeks and losers turn to the internet to find love and romance, now cyberspace is considered amongst one of the hottest pick up joints on the planet. The internet has been the success story behind many couples hooking up and getting together. With our busy work schedules, the internet has become a way for many single people to meet and date other single people without the common hassles of getting dressed and thinking of a suitable venue to go to. Now they can just put their feet up and relax in their homes while at the same time chat the night away. Having said that however there are still a lot of freaks and psycho’s out there on cyber space and the last thing you’d want is to get caught up in something you can well do without!

Internet dating is one of the fastest growing dating methods available and it’s only going to keep growing further. While it has both its pro and cons it’s always better to be safe than sorry. We’ve listed down some advantages and disadvantages that you can consider and then decide if you’re up for it!

Pros:

You can actually meet the type of person you’d like to be with. Be it by interests, appearance, location, age, religion, values etc; the Internet gives you the choice to browse through all of the above criteria, thus narrowing your selection till you can meet someone you feel is suited to you.

Once you actually start chatting, it gives you a better idea about the other person even before you’ve met them. If you find the other person boring or not compatible with you, you can just leave.

Chatting is safe as you are not physically present at the time of the chat and you are under no obligation to reveal your true identity including your location, home address etc.

It’s a great way for “shy” people to come out of the closet and express themselves. People who are shy find it easier to chat online and talk about things that they won’t able to in real life. They don’t feel awkward discussing things that they normally won’t.

Chatting online helps you to practice your various skills. You can be more confident communicating, improvising, flirting etc when you chat online as opposed to being actually present with the person.

One of the biggest advantages about online dating is that you can meet people from all the way across the globe. If you have been chatting with a person who you think could be “the one”, you can always take it to the next level at your own comfort with no pressure. If you do decide to finally meet up in person, the initial uneasiness is minimum as you already know a great deal about each other.

Dating online is relatively inexpensive. There are no costs involved like in a real date and you can take comfort in not having to hassle yourself with a venue or spending on presents and gifts! There may be a minimum cost involved if you are chatting through a dating site.

Cons:

Dating online can sometimes prove to be very tricky too. Not everyone is truthful about their appearances, occupation, status etc. In short you’ll never really know!

Sadly some people also lie about their relationship status. Many married people may actually show like they are single. You have to learn to trust and go along with your instincts. If you’re getting any bad vibes or feel uncomfortable walk away!

You will come across many people who chat online just to kill time and are not looking for anything serious. Many people may in fact refuse to meet up face to face and are happy just chatting online!

Chatting online can be very addictive and before you know it you’re ignoring all your chores and spending a great deal of your time online. You may have also just wasted your time on useless surfers just looking for some fun.

Dating online is exciting, but beware of any sexual exposure. If you are chatting with a web cam think twice before appearing naked or getting involved in giving an erotic dance. The last thing you want is to see yourself on sexual websites!!

Advice on Online dating

Now that you have a better idea of what Online dating’s all about, you need to try and test it out for yourself. However there are a few important things that you must keep in mind while chatting up with anyone online:

Never under any circumstances reveal your present address or exact location. While you may want to chat up for a little bit of fun, there are a lot of freaks and psycho’s on the loose that could cause you some serious harm!

Never send out naked pictures of yourself. They can easily be used against you to the extent that you may also be blackmailed! Alternately also do not put up provocative pictures or else you may land up with uninvited negative attention.

Internet Dating can be both fun and exciting if done sensibly. It certainly provides a different kind of rush and mostly works out to be so much more convenient that normal dating. For those of you that have a busy life style and not much time on your hands to be a common face in social events, and if you’re looking for your special someone then its definitely worth a go. As long as you’re keeping it simple and following good sense, before you know it you may just end up with the partner of your dreams!! Good luck folks!!

Thinking of Popping the Question? 50 Ideas on how to Propose!

Following our recent 20 Creative but very romantic ways to propose, we thought we’d extend the list a little further with an additional 50 ideas! Proposing to your girlfriend can be extremely difficult and stressful, but if you plan in advance and keep her personality, taste and style in mind, you can turn it into an unforgettable event! Location also plays a key role, depending on you and your partner. We’ve put together a list for you on 50 great ways you can choose from while popping the question:

1.      Old fashioned ways never go out of style. To propose in the traditional style which appeals greatly to a lot of women, get down on one knee with a rose clenched between your teeth and the precious ring in your hand. Go on to confess your undying love and devotion!

2.      Place a bouquet of flowers outside her doorstep and write the letters “Will you marry me (name)” in capital letters with Chalk outside of her house or apartment.

3.      This one is equally as romantic though you will need some planning in advance. Take your date to the Theatres and after the final curtain get up on stage and pop the question. You’ll have to plan it out with the stage manager before hand.

4.      If you are the really jittery kinds and absolutely terrified to ask her personally, this one may be the way for you. Very cute and romantic this may be a little time consuming though. Create a web page about the two of you together. You can put in photographs, quotes, love notes, places you’ve been together etc.. Be creative!!Also include the one question that‘s on your mind and send her the web address and wait on her reply! If she accepts you can easily mail it to your friends and family!

5.      Wake up extra early and prepare her favorite breakfast. Decorate the breakfast tray with red roses and throw in a small card. Kiss and wake her up and declare your love. Make sure to keep the ring in your pocket!!

6.      Give her a nice foot massage and after you are done, quietly place the ring on her toe while asking her at the same time!! This will really take her by surprise and it’s a cute way to propose!

7.      Take a bottle of Champaign and blindfold your date telling her you’ve arranged something special. Open her blindfold at the place where you both first met and pop the question!

8.      Take an evening trip to the London Eye. Pop the question when the capsule is at its highest. The twinkling lights below certainly add to create a very romantic setting.

9.      Another romantic proposal involves you sneaking into her room while she’s away and with a good supply of rose petals spell out the words on the bed. Keep the message short, and te petals add a very sweet and romantic thought, leaving her with a beautiful memory long after the petals are dried and gone!!

10.  While expressing your emotions a little bit of original poetry can work wonders. Write a short poem and recite it out to her while holding her hand. It really doesn’t matter if you can’t really write; it’s not the words only but the thought that really counts.

11.  You can send her a singing telegram to her home or place of work. As soon as the song is finished, walk in and pop the question.

12.  Put the ring in a small little box and the box in a bigger box. Keep putting layers of big boxes till its reached a decent size and then present it to her. Watch the expression on her face as she opens up all the layers to discover the ring inside! Then pop the question.

13.  This one is definitely a very cute idea! Take a large box, cut it from the bottom and gift rap the remaining 3 sides. Take it to her office and with the help of one of her colleagues climb in the box and inform her there’s a large delivery arrived for her. While she unwraps, jump out holding the ring in your hand and pop the question. You are bound to get an applause for this act!!

14.   Buy or bake her a cake with the words “Will you marry me?” frosted in chocolate icing!

15.  When she’s away, go to her room and spell out the words using the glow in the dark star stickers on the ceiling. Yes, this may be a little time consuming but watch her eyes light up as she reads the message on the ceiling.

16.  If you are living anywhere near the beach, take your loved one for a nice long walk and scratch the words across the sand in big letters.

17.  On a clear bright day hire a skywriter to spell out your proposal as you turn her head up towards the sky.

18.  You can make your proposal a bit of an adventure. Plan a treasure hunt and place the ring as the last treasure! Plant about clues so she gets to the ring last. When she does discover it, stand there with a bottle of Champaign and flowers!

19.  If your partner is extremely into a particular band, try to take her for any one of their concerts. Then ask the stage crew to pop the question for you!

20.  You can plan a quiet afternoon on a sail boat with a picnic basket and chocolates, and pop the question!

21.  In case you are staying in a cold country where it snows, write down the question on snow in big letters. You can place a happy snowman right next to it and hang up the ring on his nose!

22.  Play a fun game of Hangman. While playing come up with the phase “Marry Me?”

23.  Like from the movie “A message in a bottle”, write down the words “Will you marry me” on a piece of paper and put it inside an empty bottle. Take your partner to the beach and quietly slip the bottle in the water. Act like you discovered the bottle and ask her to read what’s inside. Then get down on one knee with the ring in your hand!

24.  While you both are at home go hide somewhere and leave a rail of notes leading her to you. Upon finding you out, stand there with a sign saying “Will you marry me”?

25.  More like a magic moment, hire a magician to do some magic tricks to amuse your partner. He can do tricks like pulling out flowers and birds etc from his sleeves or a hat. Lastly ask him to pull out the engagement ring out of nowhere! Then pop the question.

26.  For a refreshing change prepare a special home cooked dinner with candle lights and soft music. Serve oysters and place the ring inside one of them.

27.  After she gets home tired from a long day’s work, run her a bath with scented candles, aromatherapy, bath salts and rose petals. Once she is inside the tub, float a little rubber duck with a ring tied around its neck!

28.  You can also choose to propose while travelling! If you two are headed together on a plane, you can pass the ring over to the air hostess and ask her to place it on top of the dinner tray! At the same time you can make an announcement using the microphone asking her to marry you!

29.  For you naughty men out there this way may seem a little kinky! Take the ring and tie it to your manhood covering it with a scarf. Turn off the lights and invite your partner in for a hot steamy session. Hear her shriek with delight when she discovers what else you have to offer her, and then pop the question!

30.   If you are aware of the times when your lover listens to the radio, perhaps on her way to work, you can phone up any radio channels and request to add your proposal that can be broadcasted! This will definitely take her by surprise!

31.  You can also go along with the Big screen proposal if your partner is a big fan of rugby or football. Take her to the game and during half time arrange for the proposal to be flashed on the big screen! Be sure to keep the ring in hand!

32.  Order a Chinese take away and quietly slip in the ring into one of the boxes you are sure that she’ll open up first. Then you can celebrate with some Chinese and Champagne

33.  Be creative and present your loved one with a Love Certificate. You ca write the words “Will you marry me” on there and wait on her response with a ring.

34.  If your girlfriend is one with a sweet tooth, buy a box of assorted chocolates and take out one of the nuggets to make way for your boxed engagement ring! Imagine the look on her face when she sees the box with the chocolates. You seriously can’t get any sweeter way to propose!

35.  If your woman is a movie buff take her to the theatre’s for a movie she’s really been waiting to see. Rent some advertisement space before hand and before the movie begins make sure they write out your proposal on the screen! Celebrate with Popcorns and cokes!!

36.  My personal favorite is to propose to her on the exact day that you met for the very first time. You can bake a special cake and hide the ring inside the cake. Make sure to both be holding the knife as you cut the cake and she discovers her hidden surprise. Top it up by popping the question!

37.  Here’s one for you Scrabble players! If you both are scrabble fans you can invite her for a game. Arrange the tiles in advance to spell the words “You complete me.. Marry Me”!!

38.  If your date loves dancing, arrange to take her for a night out dancing. Make prior arrangements with the band to hand you the mic for a few minutes. Then when she is happily ballroom dancing with you, take the mic and propose in front of the whole crowd! However, make sure that you are certain that she will accept as it may be embarrassing to get turned down in front of a whole crowd of people!

39.  If you are any good with the guitar, you can probably make a musical proposal! Make up a short sweet song and sing it to her presenting her with the ring at the same time!

40.  You can alternately choose to propose to her in the skies! If it is within your budget, rent out a hot air balloon. Make sure to have some flowers, champagne and of course the ring on board! If you are an early bird, go for the beautiful sunrise or you can bask in the beauty of the sunset as well. Just pop the question in one of the most romantic ways ever!

41.  Plan a romantic get away for the both of you during the weekend. You can take her to a dinner cruise or a 2 day cruise and when the mood is right, pop the question.

42.  If your girlfriend reads the paper regularly take out a full page advertisement which you are certain will catch her attention and be close to her while she’s reading it.

43.  If you can arrange it take her to the planetarium and spell out the words with stars. Alternately you can just take her to the planetarium and propose to her under the stars with soft music playing in the background.

44.  Sneak in to her home while she is away and fill up her living room with flowers. Place candles where ever you can and sit in the middle of the room with a teddy bear in one of your hand and the ring in the other. Pop the question when she walks in.

45.  This one involves your and her close friends. Make up banners saying “Will you marry me?” and ask them to walk holding it up in front of her house. You can hire a small group of musicians and stand outside her door. When she walks out present her with the ring and pop the question.

46.  Show up in the middle of the day at her office while she’s at work with a bottle of Champagne, a chocolate cake, flowers and the ring and propose to her.

47.  Make her a hearty breakfast of eggs and pancakes and hide the ring in one of the pancakes. Make sure she doesn’t swallow the ring however!!

48.  Take a nice hot water bath together and soap her up real good. Arrange for some candles and wine and slip the ring in her wine glass as she’s ready to take a sip. Then just propose!!

49.  On a cold day if there’s any frosting on the car, you can scratch on your proposal on to the wind shield. Take her out with the ring in your hand!

50.  Plan a nice picnic on a warm sunny day. Prepare a tasty picnic basket and chose a good location. When you are almost done take out the ring and propose to her.

Perfect Pets For Bachelor’s Pad

Are you bachelor and in need of some company in your pad? Thinking of getting a pet to compliment your moves and style? Here are some ideas to help you…

Dog

When we think of Dogs the old saying comes to mind ‘A dog is a Man’s best friend”! The statement couldn’t have been any truer! When you get home tired from work or from a great night partying with your mates, there’s no better feeling than to be greeted by a playful four legged companion who just goes berserk when he see’s you. The sloppy licks and all four paws on you are definitely to be expected! So why again do dog’s make good pets? In simple words, dogs not only provide companionship and an ongoing long term friendship, but they also touch on our emotional side as they genuinely love and depend on their owners. Who can resist the puppy dog eyes and droopy ears sitting and staring at you from the corner? Be it a big breed like a German Shepherd or a Golden Retriever or a smaller mutt like a Poodle or Chihuahua, all dogs have their own warmth and one thing definitely in common: A big wagging Tail! For all you bachelors, depending on the type of area available to you, decide on the size of the dog as they are a life time commitment!  With all the running around that doggies enjoy so much, your pet will definitely make sure to it that you are getting enough air and exercise, keeping you totally in shape!  These Loyal, funny, loving, majestic animals are a 100% worth the effort! Besides, appearing irresistible to the opposite sex, you have a 90% chance to score with that hot chick, each time you decide to walk your furry friend!

Cat

I personally have never given much thought to keeping a Cat as a pet till I decided to give it a shot! Being a Dog person, what I discovered amazed me! Cats are so totally adorable and silly. If you guys have a shortage of space or are a little bit on the lazier side, Cats are the purrrfect little companions for you. Not only are they extremely playful and cute, they love to come sit on your lap or by your side and purr. The good news is there’s no barking involved and no walking a cat. The best news: no cleaning poop!!! Cat’s just go do their thing in their litter box which needs to be cleaned out twice a day. As long as they are getting enough food and water they stay happy.  Be sure not to feed your cat too much though, or before you know it you’ll land up with a big fat bellied lazy cat!!Contrary to the belief that cats stay as long as they are given food, Cats are actually very affectionate. They may not come running to you as soon as you step in through the door, but they try hard to keep their owners happy and display love by asking to be petted and rubbing and purring against their owners. Also they spend a majority of the day grooming and cleaning themselves. If you guys have any mice or bugs in your place, get a cat! For you single men, if you are planning to get into a love relationship in the near future, definitely keep a cat. Because earning a cat’s love is much harder than a dog, you need to treat them with care and love to get their affection in return, which helps you get enough practice for the future! Also again, it’s easier to score with the chicks as they won’t be able to resist a big eyed beautiful kitten!

Parrot

If you’re looking for a smart, intelligent pet that will stay with you for a long time, consider keeping a parrot! Especially if your apartment lacks space then all the more Parrots make great pets. A parrot is a funny silly companion, who will learn what he sees around him and in time will be able to imitate you cleverly! They can be loud, sometimes irritating, destructive yet funny and sometimes will have you holding your tummy for hours on an end. Leave him bored and alone, he can become your worst nightmare! Sometimes acting like a spoiled kid, Parrots throw tantrums and have the intelligence of a 3 year old child. You single lads, be careful not to let your parrot learn the names of the chicks you date. He may end up saying the wrong one’s at the wrong time! If you are considering getting a Parrot, make sure you have a little time each day to spend with him. If they get lonely and depressed, they will make you unhappy too! The life Span of a parrot is about 15-20 years, depending on the species, some even live till 30! So be prepared to teach your little friend things you are willing to hear, you may sometimes have him chatting away late at night!!

Tarantula

For the more “macho” men out there, Tarantulas can be a fascinating pet as well as a hobby. Not too famous with the opposite sex though, this creature has to be properly cared for and deserves a bit of respect. To begin with make sure that you have arranged for a well assembled secure home for your hairy friend! The last thing you’d want to wake up to is a squashed tarantula! Caring for them is easier than with most other pets and there are no vets involved! Also they take up just a little bit of space and do not come in the way of things. You have to be careful of not getting bitten however, as depending on the species; a bite could range from a mild irritation to a fatal outcome! Female tarantulas tend to mostly out live a male one, so its wiser investing in a female. Tarantulas need water which can be provided from a plastic bottle attached to the cage, but be careful not to let their cages be damp. Insects like crickets can be fed twice a week. Nowadays Tarantulas are becoming immensely popular as pets and can easily be bought in any pet store. For the more Strong hearted and adventurous man; Tarantulas will definitely be a good choice of pet!

Rabbit

Awww! Who can resist cuddling up to these really cuddly creatures? Rabbits make excellent pets for men with lesser space in their homes. But if you have a lawn, watch your little rabbit skip and hop around in delight! Rabbits are gentle and tame animals and easily get attached to their owners. They rarely bite, and absolutely love vegetables and carrots. They are playful little playmates and can be groomed just like dogs and cats. If you are the cuddly type you’d enjoy a Rabbit as a pet. Also thanks to him you’ll have gals showing up at your place to play with your pet. Rabbits have a life span of about 8-12 years and can be very affectionate if looked after properly. However rabbits are not too fond of water and should be kept away from baths! They can easily be housetrained using a litter box, so you lads don’t have to worry about cleaning after them.  It is a joy to be walking around the house with a Rabbit following you around. And for you music buffs, research shows that Rabbits love to listen to music!

Ferret

For all you lonely men thinking of adopting a companion, why not try a Ferret? Watching these friendly creatures play is a guarantee mood lifter no matter how low you may be. It is mostly recommended to keep two, as they love to play with each other and keep company.  Feeding them is a No problem, and lots of different varieties of Ferret food is easily available in pet stores. These tiny furry creatures often surprise their owners with their intelligence! If they want something, be rest assured they will get their point across o you with less effort. They are determined little creatures, who stay quiet as a mouse and make noise only when they are startled or scared. Again, no poop problem! Like cats, these creatures are litter trained and hardly ever dirty the house. It’s just another pet that is bound to make you famous among the opposite sex. Ferrets are loving creatures and seek attention and love from their owners. Getting to know your ferret will take you on a unique adventure of its own kind. Their personalities are often different from each other, some being cuddly while others are a little more independent. Still, these mousey like animals are just the cutest little things!!

Hamster

You lads looking for a really small pet that is fun to play with, yet demands the least bit of attention? Look no further, buy a Hamster. You can spend hours on an end looking at your hamster play in his cage. Give him one of the rolling wheel and see how much fun he can have. The best thing about a Hamster is that they do not get attached to their owners, which is ideal for someone with not too much time on his hands. They are omnivorous and love to eat both veggies and meat. Hamster food is again very easily available. They are mostly active during the night and like to be lazy and sleep during the day! Hamsters can be trained to do tricks, a little something that you can show off to your mates! Mostly their cages should be made up of metal with enough food and water. Throw in a few toys like a running wheel, a slide and a see saw and watch them go! Some hamsters are known for doing back flips and it’s absolutely hilarious to watch them running on the wheel with doing back flips alongside! Makes a great pet with some good laughs!

Turtle

Not a very common pet to keep, but an equally cute one, Turtles can make great pets! If you are tight on time and still would like to have a pet that you can see every once in a while Turtles are the perfect choice for you. Although they won’t be all cuddly and playful, it can be an interesting hobby to sit and watch them in their aquarium tanks. Make sure that the tank is not too small and has a piece of land so that they may be able to swim and rest on land if they like. If you have a property with land to spare, you can consider keeping a larger turtle in the outdoors. However make sure to fence the area with secure fences to avoid your pet from escaping! Turtle food can easily be purchased in the market, depending on the kind of turtle you decide to keep. While most are herbivore and simply love lettuce, some may be carnivores too. The good news is that you won’t have to take regular trips to the vets. Only in the case of a sick sad turtle it is recommended to see a vet straight away. However, to prevent any kind of illness make sure to keep your pet and his home clean. Be sure to change the water often, or you can simply buy a filer that pulls out the dirt automatically.

Chinchilla

Another great little animal that deserves our attention is a Chinchilla. Chinchillas make great pets and are small, friendly, cuddly and loads of fun. They have a long life span of about 15 years, which assures that you will definitely get attached to your little furry pet. While you are out during the day time working away, your Chinchilla will be getting his beauty sleep as they love to sleep throughout the day and are mostly active at night. If you are living in an apartment, they will make the best pet for you. One very important aspect to keep in mind is that at no cost can you get a Chinchilla wet. Keep them away from bathrooms and toilet seats. Water is as good as poison to them as it crushes their internal organs leading to a painful death. You can give them dust baths once in a week to keep them nice and clean. Chinchillas are very playful and if you put your mind to it they can be house trained. Bring home a Chinchilla when it is a young one, so it can get used to its new owner. Make sure to give them a large cage and have a few hiding places around the house like clay pots etc where they can rest and sleep.

Fish

While some may prefer dogs and cats or hamsters and guinea pigs, fish actually make great pets too! Shopping for fish can be a great fun experience. You can either keep a goldfish in a bowl or invest in a beautiful aquarium decorated to your taste! The great thing about fish is that they are easy to maintain, are found in different sizes, shapes and colors and are inexpensive to buy. Nor do they require any trips to the vet. However, do make sure to clean their tank often and put in some good filters and pumps. You will need an aerator (for oxygenating the water) and decorations to make your tank colorful and enjoyable for your fish. Although you will not get much of a response, you can still take time to name your fish. After a long day at work, just sitting and taking a look at the fish swimming around can be very relaxing. Goldfish, suckers, guppy’s, angel fish are some of the choices you can look into!

When To Say The Three Sweet Words?

Probably the biggest predicament that you will face while dating: Do you tell her that you love her? Do you just say those three sweet words and get it off your chest?  Is it really love or infatuation that you’re feeling? Should you tell her today or wait for a while? Will she say she loves you back or will you lose her forever? Does she feel the way you do or only regard you as a friend? How will you tell her exactly? Questions… question… so many questions in your head!! Sounds familiar? Sadly enough, there is no one correct answer that will make all your fears disappear. It all depends on a number of situations and most importantly on the individuals involved. However, you can surely consider a few things to understand your feelings first before you actually decide to approach your princess.

Feelings and emotions can be confusing. You need to look deep within yourself to be positively sure that what you feel is in fact love. The most important thing is for you to be true to yourself! Hot steamy sex can often be confused for love; while it may just be lust. For a while, change your focus from her body to her mind. Do you often find yourself smiling when you think of her? Do you catch yourself daydreaming of her when you’re apart? Do you miss her when you have not seen each other for a while? Can you remember the features of her face, her beautiful smile and the feeling she gives you when she looks at you when you close your eyes?  Do you feel like this always or just when you are intimate? Can you picture waking up to her face for the rest of your life? If you have answered yes to all of the above, then your emotions are already pretty strong!

The second very important factor to consider is time! Have you been dating for a few weeks or a month? At the beginning of any relationship with the excitement of discovering and getting to know each other, everything seems perfect. The sex is mind blowing, each day you are discovering something new about her, she looks so pretty, you love the way she keeps calling or texting you when you’re apart etc. You’re having so much fun and feeling things that you never felt before that the whole experience can easily be mistaken as love! You need to be with her for a longer time till the novelty fades out and then decide. Do you still find her as attractive as when you first met? Do you like spending as much time with her or you rather prefer to hang out with your mates instead? Do you have to make excuses and lie to get out of having to see her? Are her habits that you found so adorable before, suddenly started to irritate you? Are you checking out and flirting with the new secretary at work? With time, the way we feel about people changes. Not necessarily in the bad sense, but after having spent a lot of time together you will  know more about what makes her tick. If you feel that you can live with all her habits nice or irritating and are still just as ga ga over her as when you first met, then you are really in fact in love. If you however don’t feel it and realize it was infatuation, be honest to yourself and save you both from unnecessary pain.

Now that you are positive that you are in love, how do you want to go about it? Before you tell her you may wan to look for some non verbal cues that she is sending out. Does she look at you in a loving way Do her eyes light up each time she see’s you? Is it easy for you to talk to her about everything and anything that’s on your mind and when you do does she listen to you with concern and seem genuinely interested? Does she give you priority over everything else to a certain extent? If you feel that your lady is generally interested in your life and you, then good chances are that both of you are on the same track and she may just be waiting for you to make the first move. Make sure that she is in that point of time in her life that she is free and ready to commit to any one person in her life.

Ok, so now that you are all ready to commit, make sure that the first time you express those three sweet words, you make it a memorable moment that should be able to make her smile even years after. Don’t say it to her during or right after sex as she may confuse it for you enjoying the sex. Don’t ell her over an email or phone either. It’s a no no to tell her at a hurried moment when she’s about to go out the door or when she’s shopping as she will be distracted at the time. Take time and plan it, the best would be to say it when you both are sitting relaxed, sipping on some wine perhaps, looking at the setting sun!!

Hopefully when you do tell her, however you decide to tell her, her eyes light up and a big smile spreads over her lips and she reciprocates by telling you she loves you too. Just in case that does not happen, don’t be sad or disheartened or panic. I may just take her a while to let it all sink in and understand her feelings too. She may need some time to think about it and if she’s the shy kinds then work up the courage to say it back to you. For some people it’s just not so easy to express themselves.

As a basic rule, being truthful to yourself and your partner about your feelings is a positive thing. Its not cool to be with someone who you don’t feel emotionally attached to, but you do it anyways out of feeling obligated. Nor is it okay to make light of someone else’s feelings. Love is a beautiful thing when shared between the right people it changes your outlook on life. If you want to start something special and lasting make sure to throw in the most important ingredient of honestly, even if it opens up the possibility of your own feelings getting hurt. By saying those three sweet words, you are making a transition from dating to a serious commitment. So make sure to embark on this wonderful journey with a clear head and on the right foot! Good luck to all you lads out there!!
