Dating Trait #1:

He listens to you! The best way to know if Mr. Next is interested in (and worthy of  ) being a candidate for Mr. Right? He listens to you. You’ll know he’s listening when he shows genuine concern, consistently remembers things you’ve told him (your birthday, favorite food, best friend’s name, etc.), and offers emotional support in honest and thoughtful ways.

Dating Trait #2:

He connects with you easily We’ve all been in those relationships that take W-O-R-K (and suck the life force out of us in the process). When a relationship works on its own, it feels effortless, easy, and fluid. You don’t have to force anything, forgive anyone, or turn a blind eye to red flags or gut-twisters. Instead, you communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.

Dating Trait #3:

He wants the real you So often, women feel the need to sacrifice some part of themselves to make a relationship work. In the right relationship, there’s no need. You don’t have to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your fabulous life. With the right partner, you’re not only able to be yourself, but you’re better able to be the best version of your most authentic self — no compromises needed.

Dating Trait #4:

A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. But a relationship with abundant trust? A fabulous foundation for real and lasting love! Built over time, trust is based on the simple belief system that your partner has your best interests at heart and will never intentionally hurt you (and vice versa). If and when you discover that Mr. Next is 100 percent trustworthy, you’ll have no trouble giving your heart to him. In return, he’ll most likely give you his heart and pave the way for a lasting, loving relationship to unfold.

Dating Trait #5:
He enriches your life… In the wrong relationship, your partner tears you to emotional shreds, brings you down, and in general drains your energy. In the right relationship, he enriches your life, inspires you to be your best self, and brings a sense of peace and possibility to you. You’ll know Mr. Next is enriching your life if and when he encourages and supports you professionally, personally, and spiritually. And when he does, he may just be Mr. Right!
Does your Mr. Next possess all five qualities? If so, congratulations! You have done your homework, chosen wisely, and are now well positioned for relationship success.

If not, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back into the dating pool with a clearer understanding of who you want to date. Remember, finding your life partner isn’t always easy, but by being clear, honoring yourself, and acting accordingly, you’ll cut down on wasted time with Mr. Wrong and Mr. Next, and ultimately make room for Mr. Right. And if you think you found him no matter how far away he is…drop me a note and get that private, personal site to share your feeling and expression with and let him do the same.  It will let you get to know him all the better.

I. Create a website to express your love and give that reassurance that they are important and the love of your life. Think of it as a diary or your love and the events in your relationship. Maybe asking your beloved one to marry you. A website is a public declaration of your love, yet it can be kept as private as you want it to be. You can even share your proposal with his or her friends and family.

II. Send an E-card that will be delivered to your sweetie at work. Include a romantic love poem that tells them exactly what they mean to you. At the end, ask for their hand in marriage. Be at they’re office waiting to surprise them after they’ve received the card.

III. Send a text message to your sweetie’s cell phone; you could even put a proposal in it. While you’re out and about and they least expect it, send the message.

IV. Send a wireless Email asking your sweetie to marry you

V. Is he or she always working on or at a computer? Set up the screen saver , if that is possible, or get a friend to help you. To do this on a windows machine, simply right click on the desk top and select “Properties”. Click on the “Screensaver” tab. Select “3D Text” and then click “Settings” to change the text. They will be pleasantly surprised when they walk up to the computer and see the proposal.

VI. Create your own love letter or your declaration of love and post it or do it on your web cam and then upload to your own personal site. Either way let them know telling them you’re got something  to show them online. Send an email with a link to your comment or proposal.

There is an unlimited number of ways to express yourself with your very own personal LOVE U SITE!

‘All you need is love’.

(Or, so they say).

With today’s divorce rate climbing faster than you can swallow a slice of wedding cake, it seems that we need a lot more than just a bit of love to make our relationships go the long haul.

The cold hard truth is this: having your dream relationship fall out of the sky, into your lap and spending the rest of your life ‘happily ever after’ with zero effort on your part – is about as likely as finding a pork chop at a bar-mitzvah.

It’s true.

HowEVER…recognizing what you have in your hands, appreciating it and working on it TOGETHER to make your relationship everything you ever dreamed of, is actually far more attainable than you can possibly imagine.

And, pretty easy too…

1. Give exactly what you want to get: Try not to think about what you are getting; focus on what you are giving. If you want a partner that is more thoughtful, attentive, romantic, whatever, become that way yourself and you’ll be surprised how the other side reacts. It’s amazing; partners tend to mirror each other’s behavior.

2. Remember your partner is not a band-aid: It’s easy to assume that your partner was put on this earth to heal every old wound you ever had. Not so; your partner is human and they are more than likely dragging enough of their own baggage to fill JFK airport. Remember that you are the only person that can heal you. You are also the only person responsible for your own happiness. The realization of this is more liberating than you can imagine and opens you up to endless personal growth possibilities that will in turn, no doubt, reflect positively on your relationship.

3. Being in a relationship never made anyone blind: Jealousy. A tricky one. Try to remember that mad love does not necessarily make either of you blind. By that I mean, it’s inevitable that he will raise the odd eyebrow at your new sexy next-door neighbor with that itzi-bitzi mini skirt, just as that man in line at the post office the other day, may have made your heart go ‘boom boom’ (or vice versa). We are human. There will always be moments when we may be attracted to others. However, we have the power of CHOICE. We can be attracted, but choose our partner. In the face of jealously, letting your partner know that you constantly and consciously choose them, on a daily basis, can really strengthen your bond.

4. Say what you mean, mean what you say: Ladies, say what you mean! That means: no hints, no double messages and no saying the complete opposite and expecting your partner to miraculously become clairvoyant. Contrary to popular belief, guys are not mind readers!

Guys, you too – communication is KEY to a good relationship. Allow yourselves the pleasure of having a conversation that lasts more than halftime of a football game! A wise person once told me to “marry someone you can talk to”. When we are old and grey, talking will count for more than we can imagine today.

5. Always assume your partner’s intentions are good: A little tolerance goes a VERY long way. Count to 10 before pulling your hair out, screaming your head off or microwaving your partner’s iPod next time they do something that irritates you. Try to always assume that your partner means well, despite their sometimes incredibly infuriating actions. 9 times out of 10, they probably do not know the effects that their annoying little habits have. Breathe out…then talk it out.

6. Remember the virtues of friendship: Seems obvious doesn’t it? But many people have relationships with people that they either don’t actually like, or are not friends with. And get your own personal web site to share those intimate thoughts and feeling.  Show her or him a different more romantic side of yourself.

Make your partner your best friend. Be reliable like you would be with your best friend. Be there like you would for a best friend. Be supportive, loving, kind and everything else, in good times and bad, just like you would for your best friend. Get this one nailed and everything else should pretty much take care of itself.
