Almost all women have the most loving and giving intentions when it comes to starting new relationship. So when a man pulls away or “drifts” a woman will usually go to her first conclusion. “What did I do wrong”? You feel like he’s lost that loving feeling. He might start to withdraw, appear to be losing interest. Ultimately, the relationship decays. The more you try to revive it, the more distant he becomes and now you’re straight up chasing it. You’re no longer cute – you are annoying as hell, and that quirky adorableness has worn off. I know that you don’t want to be needy. You end up being needy because you don’t even realize that’s what you are doing. Neediness usually comes from a void within you– which you think a man can fill with his presence. You begin to wager your happiness and a sense of self-worth against him being in your life. Bad gamble. If you don’t determine your worth, someone else will definitely take a stab at it. You will be very hard-pressed to change a man’...

We’ve all experienced that wonderful feeling of a great nineteen. You know… the first nineteen minutes of meeting your date and the spark that comes with it. By the fifth minute the hostess is seating you at a perfect table and by minute nine you’re ordering a cocktail. The next couple minutes bring some witty banter and by the 15 the minute you’re sipping a Tanqueray and Tonic, looking at your date and thinking to yourself, “Wow… cute and can converse… score!” Everything is splendid until the seconds approaching the twenty-minute mark. Somehow the conversation leads your date to respond with a sentence that brings the date to a screeching halt. The verbal slamming of the breaks that brings about the dead stop are a combination of the following…”my Ex”, “my breakup” or “my past relationship”. And with just one sentence, you pull up a chair for an unexpected, worst kind of third wheel- the EXtra wheel. Mentioning your Ex on a first date is the equivalent to taking a fire hose to a b...

You get home from a lovely night out, and you smile as you recall the night’s events. Maybe, just maybe, you found someone who could end up being the One. A few days later, you send a text so he or she knows you were thinking of them. “Hey, you. I had a great time the other night. Would you like to go out again sometime?” Simple, right? No strings attached. No expectations . Just an innocent desire to connect to another soul. Anyone in a getting-to-know-each-other or dating relationship is familiar with this message. But it goes unanswered. What the heck?! Everything went fine! I mean, he or she seemed nice… Not the type to disappear. What happened??? …They could’ve said something. The sad truth is this is all too common in the 21st century as technology becomes more commonplace.
