Most of us spend our entire life hoping to meet that special someone. Some of us are lucky enough to come across someone who we think is really IT. When everything seems to fit into place, why do things still go wrong?
Relationships are hard work. Anyone that would tell you otherwise has probably never had a serious relationship. But what are the things you have to do, or not do, to make sure that big black cloud doesn’t come across you sunny sky?

Have you ever looked back on your past loves and wondered, what if? I think I know every woman’s the answer to that question, but lately it’s been on my brain.
I’ve been in a loving relationship for a little over 3 years now, but I can’t help but wonder sometimes, what if?guy During college (5 years ago), I “dated” a guy who was then the hottest guy in school, we maintained a friendship throughout the years, well a friendship mixed with I’m in love with you but we never sealed the deal. Well, now he is the hottest guy on the celebrity blogs and women all around the world are drooling over his pecks, and I can’t help but wonder, what if I decided to be with him? What would my life be like? Where would I work? Would I be married? How much more fabulous would my life be had I been with him? Basically, What am I missing?

There’s this super cute article published in Women’s Health Magazine about the top 11 things that men love in women. Geez, how are we supposed to know that men love women in their ’sweaty post-gym rawness’ – when you’re not wearing any makeup and you’re all sweaty? Anyway, the list is pretty helpful – makes you think of not trying too hard to please your man.
Which got me to thinking about the top things that women love about men. Ready or not, here’s my ten cents worth of advice.

My best friend from high school and I recently reconnected. I learned that she was going through a divorce and since I had been there, I have found myself a source of support for her. Her incredible need to move on, to not be alone, to replace the old with the new inspired me to take a look at my dating life after divorce and to share how dating was for me, after not doing it for over nine years.

It was something I’d never really thought about, after all I didn’t have my first real relationship until I was twenty-one and I’d never had a relationship with another woman. I’d had a crush or two but never acted on it, my boyfriend in fact was the one that had initiated the topic of dating at all. So when an old friend (read old crush/best friend) came back into my life and I realized that same ache of longing and sexual attraction was still there in relation to her I didn’t know what to do. Add to this that she was bisexual too and I lost my head.

After writing a multitude of short stories and three novels, it seems to me that women-in-conflict is a subject matter that interests me. Each of my books has two female characters central to the story’s theme and usually those two females are at odds with each other. “Bobby’s Diner,” my latest release, shows two unrelated women in conflict with a man at the center of their ire.

At the risk of bragging, I have actually been INVITED to come along on more than one “Boys Night Out” with my boyfriend and his buddies – and he wasn’t always the one inviting me. I have been asked for relationship advice by my boyfriend’s brothers. I was even allowed to come along on a recent all-guys trip (although I would never actually suggest that). To say the least, when my man and I had a temporary parting of ways, his boys were happy when we got past the nonsense.

Last night one if my ten year old twins told me that he noticed a new number when he was going through my cell phone. I stood there in shock and dread hit me like a cannonball in the gut. I realized that I am raising my children to think that it’s normal for a mother not to have an “opposite sex relationship” outside of being a good mother. His tone and demeanor suggested that I was in trouble for having a male name in my phone. Where is the boundary between mothering and answering to that inner woman? Why is it that some of us feel like we are bad mothers for wanting to date sometimes? I asked a few parents and the response I got was encouraging and fair. There has to be an understanding with children that they are always first and will continue to be, but mom or dad will have to have time for other adults.

Are you 30+ and have a significant other, with no rush plans to marry? Do your friends and family think there is something wrong because you are not stressing about the ring that has not been purchased, much less have the plans for the kids that may or may never happen. Could it be that more adults are learning from each others mistakes or simply plan to take a different route and choose to live with someone “forever” instead of having to say “I do” because it is what society or grandma wants.
