I remember the days when I used to religiously follow my horoscope in the daily newspaper just for fun. I am not really much of an astrology buff, but my friends and I had a blast co-relating our horoscopes for the day to something which is even the teeniest bit significant to the ‘prediction’.
Being an Aries, it was also interesting for me to know whether I am astrologically compatible with my special someone. According to the charts, an Aries goes well with someone who was born under the signs Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius. It would have been weird if I immediately asked the men that I went out with what their birth sign was during the first date so I waited until the relationship was going along nicely to learn about their birth dates.
So far, I have had a couple of quite-long relationships with a Leo and a Capricorn. I did have a lot in common with Mr. Capricorn but it was the ‘Leo’ guy whom I felt more deeply about. Whether or not it was a result of our signs working well together or not- I have yet to find out because I’m still with the Leo guy! Is our relationship written on the stars or not? We’ll see.
When I was a teenager, I had this stringent list of what my ideal man should be: handsome, well-off, caring, understanding, God-fearing, intelligent - ” I could have gone on and on then about what qualities my partner should have. However, as I grew older, I realized that I could never really find a real person who met all these sterling qualities.
Building a my-ideal-man-list is much like this e-mail that I received which made me laugh out loud, it’s entitled “My Ideal Man Checklist”. At age 22, the checklist goes much like the list that I had above. Another revised list is made at ages 32, 42, 52, 62 and by the age of 72 there are only a couple of items on the list: that the man should be breathing and not miss the toilet!
As funny as the e-mail was, it is true” as you grow more mature, your original list of ‘requirements’ for an ideal man will be revised. Now, all I am looking for in an ideal man is one who can be both a best friend and a partner in life, and someone who will love me as unconditionally as I love him.

Ladies, lend me your ears please. Men hate Valentine’s Day!
This is something that’s difficult to understand but please do not despair girls because here are some helpful tips to make him involved and engaged in your date-planning as much as we do. First, you have to be clear with your expectations. Meaning, you have to let your partner know exactly what you’d like to happen on “love day” so he would not spend much time guessing what you want to get or happen on that day. If things didn’t turn out right and perfect because he failed to deliver your expectations, you have to accept it. I know it’s not easy but disappointment will only deter further effort, instead show appreciation and gratitude. Acceptance will help and give him confidence to do better next time. Understand that men show love in ways that sometimes women do not appreciate.
No matter how many times you’ve been hurt before or have experienced emotional pains caused by the person you love, the existing pain that you feel is as painful as it was. You often wonder why despite of the fact that you have been in that situation several times before, the intensity of the pain stays the same still.
So, why do we feel pain when our hearts are broken? According to a recent UCLA study, psychological pain of a break-up is just as real as physical pain or injury. Two areas of the brain that responds to physical pain also become active when a person is dealing with social pain, such as being dumped. Researchers used an MRI to monitor brain activity in participants while they played a game simulating a social rejection. Authors of the study believed that the fear and pain of being rejected motivated humans to seek out social interaction which is very important for the survival in most mammals.
It feels wonderful when you are in-love. Each relationship you’re in you hope that the man you’re with will be the Mr. Perfect you’ve been waiting for. You’re willing to do whatever it takes to make the bond last that may possibly continue into a meaningful relationship. But unfortunately, in the process of making the relationship to work perfectly for both of you, obliviously you lose yourself. Without knowing it, you are adapting to his lifestyle. You find yourself in hockey games which he loves, and you even listen to music that he likes.
Compromise is very important in a relationship to make it successful but to deny the central part of who you are is not. You don’t have to change your individuality to gain your partner’s approval because when the love is real you will be loved even if you are imperfect.
