What's one of the advantages of being in a stable long-term relationship?
The many opportunities available for making a fool of yourself around your sweetie...
...and getting away with it.
But what about when you're around a new dating partner who interests you, and kind of makes you feel all nervous inside?
The reality is:
Dignity attracts, baby. Dignity attracts.
And that's one reason why I want you to hold on to your dignity at almost all times during the early stages of ...

"Obsession" sounds so…….extreme.
Sometimes though, when you have a new man on your mind, thereality is that you are a woman obsessed:
- you wake up to the thought of him
- you keep re-playing in your mind the last contact you twohad
- at least once an hour you wonder where he is and what he’sdoing
- all songs remind you of what it’s like to be with him, orwithout him
- if a phone call, text message, or email isn’t from him, you're disappointed
- one minute you’re certain that he ...

Like other women with girl friends and an email account, Ireceive written morsels like the following almost every week:
"Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the topof the tree. Most men do not want to reach for the good ones because they areafraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the applesfrom the ground, which are not as good, but are easy.
The apples at the top think something is wrong with ...

Sitting on the runway for 40 minutes, waiting for our planeto get the AOK signal for take-off, I learned way too much about the talkative guysitting next to me.
Amongst other things, he shared that a womanwho’s on birth control pills [read: she doesn’t insist on condom use ever] is worth her weight in gold.
Shortly there after, he made a reference to The Mile High Club, his eyesdarted up to the sign for the restrooms, and then ...

Happy to report, I’ve been fairly successful when it comesto detecting men who have cheating or substance abuse problems.
And yet…mean-spirited men have been able to fly right under myradar, undetectable until it’s almost too late.
First of all, I’m a sucker for Mr. Dry Wit. So sexy. The problem is, wittiness, and awicked sense of humor in general, can allow some men to cloak things likeanger, hostility, and a mean streak a mile wide.
Next there’s The Backbone Factor. We ...

It’s the middle of the night, I'm exhausted, and I want tosleep.
Unfortunately, getting some shut-eye is the lastthing on his mind. That’s why he keeps letting me know, in subtle andnot-so-subtleways, what he wants.
It starts with the gentle rubbing against me. Then it progresses to serious nuzzling.
And ifthe rubbing and nuzzling don't rouse me sufficiently, he intensifies his efforts with some pawing.
No matter how tired I am, though, it'simpossible for me to work up any genuine ...

“I don’t believe in email. I’m an old-fashioned girl. Iprefer calling and hanging up.” (Sarah Jessica Parker)
“It is better to be old-fashioned and right than to be up-to-dateand wrong.” (Tiorio, an ethical philosopher type)
According to the dictionary, an old-fashioned person favors ideas, customs, and styles of days gone by.
I'm waiting for someone to call me old-fashionedfor the ultra-fem, vintage clothing pieces I sometimes wear. But it's never happened.
Yet a man once told me that I wasbehind the ...

Do you have one of those relationship dealbreaker lists?You know, the list that describes the qualities you have to have in a man,along with the qualities you simply won’t tolerate?
If you’ve taken the time to write such a list, I'm impressed!
Now put it away.
Then, being as honest as you can be with yourself, make twobrand new lists:
- The “Good Qualities I Bring to a Relationship” list
And...
- The “Not-So-Good Qualities I Bring to a Relationship” list
Why these two lists? Let ...

A man in my past -- let's call him Mr. Manners -- opened the door when we entered and exited restaurants and other public places during dates.
But wait. That’s not the whole story.
After opening the door, this guy stepped through the doorway before I did.
Sometimes Mr. Manners even allowed the door to start closing in my face as he raced ahead. After a month of this, his attractive backside walking away from me became all-too-familiar.
And I ...

Considering that I’m in the business of helping people find and keep love, you'd think that I'd be a fan of THE romantic holiday of the year, Valentine's Day.
Well...I'm not.
But if it's a big holiday for you, by all means, enjoy! And hope you don't mind my poking a bit of fun at it.
It's just that every year, during the first two weeks of February leading to V-Day, I can't help but notice how some people ...
