5 Perfectly Romantic Proposal Ideas

Having a crush on someone or wanting to be with someone are both frustrating and amazing. However, at one point, you soon begin to feel that you need to take action, and that action is the confession of your feelings. Now for most people, confession means rejection. They just can’t imagine it lead to anything else. However, whether you fall into this category or not, here are a few perfectly romantic ideas for you to consider before you make that confession:

Do it over a road-trip or a drive
This is a perfectly romantic idea. Suggest to your partner that you should go out to some place together on a road trip or for a dinner. Then take her through a longer route so you have time to talk. Indulge in deep talks on the way and talk about your fears, dreams and hopes. Then, propose to her while you are caught up in the madness of words and emotions. However, you have to be very careful. It is better to do something like this on your way back. If they are not ready yet, don’t force them into anything. Don’t scare them because they will be alone with you at that moment. The way you handle that situation might get them to change their mind.

Music
You know what makes things easy and also perfectly romantic? Music. They say music connects on a deeper level with not only us but to our souls. It is a wonderful way to express how you feel. Whether you are sitting in a crowded metro or whether you are having a quiet dinner, a song will change everything, and what is a better way of expressing yourself than music? Put on some songs and express you love, or do something old school. Make them a compilation of your favourite songs on Soundcloud or burn them a CD. On the playlist, add an adorable voice note and confess your love.

Make her dinner
Whether you are a cook on Master Chef level, or whether you burn your Omelette every morning, proposing over self-made food is perfectly romantic. Find a simple recipe or call your mother or some aunt who is an expert at cooking. Get a few ideas from them. Invite them over. Set the table and then propose to her in the best way that you can. You will leave her awestruck and she will feel very special for being treated this way.


A surprise.
This is another perfectly romantic idea. Surprise that person. Do it at their work place in their cabin or randomly knock on their door and propose to them. Just do it in a way that they had never imagined. I remember my time.

"My partner and I were best friends. One night, we were randomly talking and I was ranting as usual when he stopped me to tell me that he wanted to be with me for the rest of his life. I was taken aback, but obviously I was over the moon. (Had fallen for him a long time back.)"
-GLAMOUR

Anyway, if that person really loves you or cares for you, no matter what you do, it will be extremely special for them.


Happy loving!

5 Reasons Why Men Are Attracted To Shy Girls

We are under no obligation to be with a certain kind of person. We can fall in love with whoever we want and look for whatever traits that we like. Everyone enjoys this authority and ends up having their preferences. Men have all kinds of choices when it comes to woman. Obviously, we are different so we want different kind of people in our lives. However, there is always a trend among men to be inclined towards shy girls. They find them simplistic, pretty and very feminine. Most men have a thing for such women and here are a few reasons why:

Mysterious
What men admire the most in women is mystery. They are often into shy girls because they find them very subtle and away from everyone else. They will not reveal much about themselves. They will always look like those feeble beings that tend to stay quiet. They won’t express that easily, and they will literally have to make efforts to read and understand them better. This kind of personality traits makes them run behind shy girls because of their curiosity.

Reserved
Men appreciate the fact that shy girls are reserve. People complain that times have changed and people are much more different now. However, most men still want a woman who is just open to them and secretive to everyone else. They don’t want a loud woman who talks her heart out to everyone. They like exclusivity and that is something that a shy girl gives to them in life. Therefore, they want to belong to someone who will be reserved with everyone else expect them.

Strong
A lot of mistake shy girls for being weak and feeble. They assume that a little issue or scolding will send them running into their rooms crying. However, they cannot be wrong enough. Those who stay quiet and interact the least, observe the most. They don’t talk much but they notice little things about people and tend to keep a keen eye on their surroundings. They are, as a result, stronger. Hey can take in a lot because they understand how things work. You cannot assume that they will break in a moment, just because they don’t talk much. They are stronger than you think.


Surprise
Men always prefer girls because they like the surprise package that they are. To the outside world, they will be this shy person who will not talk much or interact much. However to the man she genuinely loves, she will be completely something else. She will not let the world see this side of her and it will be exclusively reserved for the guy that she is with. Her original chirpy nature will be uncommon to everyone. She will be smart, funny and hyper active in front of her partner and he will go crazy for her even more just because of the surprise package that she happens to be.

Feminine
Womanhood is beautiful. As a woman, I know how absolutely wonderful it is to be a woman. Men love it too. They like softness, shyness and prettiness. They believe that the reserved and shy nature of a girl makes her even more beautiful and they tend to become crazier for her. To them, having a feminine girlfriend/partner is very important. Most men do not want a loud girl who is no different from men. Men want women who are sweet and can be strong when required.

How To Overcome Shyness in Order to Let Men Give You What You Want

Most ladies have a characteristic frailty component. We stress over some thing like cellulite, wrinkles, stretch imprints or our weight for instance. For some ladies the considered playing with men to start contact is more awful than giving a discourse to a crowd of people of 1000 individuals. Why? Since we question ourselves. We persuade ourselves from the beginning that a gentleman won't be pulled in to us. This can be the situation regardless of the possibility that we get bunches of proof in spite of our self-assessment, similar to men taking a gander at us, paying us compliments and seeking after us. Our view of ourselves will dependably be the conclusion that we listen to.

They say you ought to dependably confront your reasons for alarm. So I am going to set out 3 difficulties for you to take up. Add them to your container rundown, telephone a companion for good bolster or do them with a companion however you must finish the greater part of the difficulties inside of a month of perusing this article. Consider me your own mentor. We all need a mentor to persuade us, to push us outside of our usual range of familiarity so we understand our potential. Like my yoga educator says, cited from the maker of Bikram Yoga - Bikram himself, "You have a great deal more in the engine than you understand." You can do these undertakings effortlessly.

Test Number 1

Compose your name and number on a bit of paper and stroll up to 3 distinct men over discrete days that you see while out on the town and like the look of, give them this note and leave. You don't have to say anything to them. This is called being a tease in the 21st Century. Men are regularly excessively terrified, making it impossible to approach us and resistant to our unpretentious teases. This technique uproots all perplexity by letting them know that you are feeling it uproarious and clear. Who cares in the event that they are taken or doesn't call. Clearly, don't approach a man in the event that he is with a lady. You don't have anything put resources into this, you didn't even hit up a discussion with them - so don't think about a no call as dismissal in light of the fact that it truly isn't!

Test Number 2

Stroll up to man that you are pulled in to, he could be in a bar or club or in the city and kiss him on the lips. I don't mean a peck either. I'm talking tongue activity. I propose you ask him to start with, however this will expand your certainty tremendously and develop you for test number 3.

Test Number 3

Your last test is to go out clubbing or getting wasted and ask 100 men on that night on the off chance that they will give you their number. I suggest you do this test with another person. You will get numbers and you don't have to do anything with them, in spite of the fact that you can on the off chance that you like. The last control is you can't focus on any of these men until you have approached 100 men for their number. After that you are allowed to zone in on the one or ones that you loved. This guideline won't just help you to complete the test yet it will expand men's view of quality in you in light of the fact that you are making them sit tight for your consideration.

These difficulties are intended to enhance your certainty so you can get a relationship you need with a man that you need. I don't suggest you utilize test number 3 as a continuous dating procedure in light of the fact that men ought to be the ones requesting you're number. You can give them yours yet they ought to do the calling and seeking after in light of the fact that men need to chase ladies and observe that part more regular than tackling that part than the one's persona being sought after.

Like I said, you can do these difficulties with a companion - even a male companion to make it all the more fascinating. You can transform it into an opposition to make it more fun, yet you must finish the difficulties

Really, What’s the Point of Cheating?

Cheating is something I have never really been able to understand, like why do people cheat? Am I the only one that thinks it’s a lot of work?! Nowadays it’s like, cheating is not as big of a deal anymore, I mean, it’s so bad that having a side chick or a side bobo is like a fashion trend! You could catch your partner cheating on you and when he gets a chance to explain he says “she’s just a side chick, you know you’re my main girl” like, wait, is that supposed to make me feel better or..?

Why do people cheat?? I ask this question a lot but I have never really gotten a satisfactory answer. We all know the common reasons behind cheating is lack of romance or proper communication, most times Men and Women cheat because they are not happy in their relationships. Communication is the key to a healthy relationship, so even if you’re as proud as Kanye west you have to put that away and talk about your problems.

But then what about the ones that are happy in their relationships but cheat anyway? Most of the time, if not all the time, the reason behind that is Self-gratification. I mean, as humans we all have a natural desire to satisfy our needs but then we also have a natural desire for intimacy, and unfortunately these two needs often seem to be in conflict with each other, but then the reality is, if you really love someone you will be willing to sacrifice your own self-gratification to remain faithful, because the truth is if you’re really in love you would put in effort to NOT mess up.
Definitely there will be temptations, some women are just mean! But if you really loved your partner and a woman with a face like Meagan Good and a body like Beyoncé or a man with eyes like Michael Ealy and a body like Trey Songz tried to seduce you, you wouldn’t fall for it, you might have to put up a pretty good fight but believe it or not that’s what love can do to you. Therefore, there is really never a good reason to cheat, unless of course you’re dating a crazy person like Eminem who has the whole ‘if I cant have you no one else can’ mentality, but then that’s highly unlikely!
So if you’re in a relationship and you’re not happy then end it, if you think cheating on your partner is better than breaking up and hurting their feelings you are very wrong, because either way they are going to get hurt. And if you feel there’s no problem with your relationship but you’re still cheating anyway then you’re just not in love and you have no business being in a relationship, if you were really in love you wouldn’t cheat, because if you love something you don’t just let it go.

Getting through a breakup

• Sweetheart, whether the relationship was great or not,whether it lasted for 5weeks or 5years, a breakup can leave you feeling lost, broken and betrayed. It can trigger pains, heartaches and unsettling feelings. It can leave you sick and your world upside down (oh yes!).

A healthy coping mechanism is essential to getting over the ‘ex fever’. Even if the relationship was a mess, a breakup will drop you at a ‘Zero level’- you have to pick yourself up, you have to let go of the feeling of abandonment, disappointment and betrayal. Don’t let anything tie you down.

These tips will help you heal and mend your broken heart.

TALK OR WRITE OUT YOUR FEELING

You have lots of feelings are all jammed up inside you, so you have to let it all out. Talk to your friends, family, maybe a therapist, this will make you feel better. You can also keep a journal, there are so many emotions involved in a breakup and if you keep them bottled up it can hurt you, write how and what you are feeling.

GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK

Take a break from everything that stress your mind, you need your ‘you time’ gather your strength since you are not ‘superwoman’ heal every part of you, take time to regroup, re-energize, and re-boost because you will need to get back out there you know? *winks*.

GRIEF

Know that its OK to cry, allow yourself mourn the loss of a relationship, after all you are a woman. Don’t be in denial, admit that you are hurt, cry, get angry. But its just for a little while.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY

After a breakup all you want to do is cry and eat, when you start eating bad, your diet gets worse and you gain unwanted pounds, so do not take refuge in bad foods, eat good food and healthy diet. Avoid mindless eat, exercise and rest.

GET INTO ACTIVITIES YOU LOVE AND BE POSITIVE

Give yourself a reason to want to get up every morning, have a reason to want to move on, do the stuffs you enjoy or love, like Running, Strolling, Travelling, Shopping. Just get out there again.

TAKE YOUR TIME

Remember not rush into another relationship just because you are lonely and he is available.

Nobody said its going to be easy, but you will heal.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

7 Signs she’s after your Money

Everybody wants to love and be loved but the truth is, we can’t always get what we want. The journey to finding true love and happiness is not always as smooth as expected. Men are visually influenced when it comes to relationship and tend to be attracted to beauty. Unlucky for you if you meet non genuine women in sheep clothing that only want to rip you off and say “goodbye”. Well, you can’t always avoid such ladies but I can give you 7 signs to know if she’s only after your money. Enjoy!

She very demanding

Every man wants his woman to be happy and satisfied but if you’ve got a girl with high taste then you’re in trouble. She’s the type of girl that will always ask for one thing or the other, complain about not having enough and always wants to go to expensive places, travel and buy expensive things. A girl who’s genuinely in love with you would rather be considerate about how you spend your money and how best to cut down cost.

She’s materialistic and expensive

Its all about expensive things, designer bags, shoes and gadgets. She tells you about the latest thing in town and how all her friends have got it but she feels left out. Obviously she wants you to buy it for her! Materialistic girls are shallow girls who are only there during the good times. Their basis for a relationship is money and to be with them you’ve got to have a big pocket. Some men actually go for them just to conquer them and show them off as trophies. If you’re looking for “love” then a materialistic girl is not for you.

Less concerned about your family

If your girl is not concerned about your family or doesn’t ask after them but she’s more concerned about your work and salary then you should double check. She really doesn’t want to be emotionally attached because she doesn’t plan on being there in the long run. She’s not planning or thinking about a future with you, its more about now and what she can get. If you’re in a relationship with a girl with similar traits then ensure you guys are both on the same page and she wants a future with you.

She’s not sacrificial

These types of girls are not ready to compromise or make sacrifices for you. You realize that you can’t tell her “No” even in difficult times for the fear of loosing her. Every time she asks you for something and you tell her about a challenge, she threatens to leave you. If you’ve gotten to that stage then know that she’s only after your pocket. Understanding and making sacrifices in a relationship is a sign of love and support from your partner but if they are not ready to make sacrifices then cut them off!

Always talking about her problems

Its from one problem to the other and one bill to the other. Women have ways of extorting money from men and that’s by cooking up stories. Her problems seem unending and because you love her, you do not want to let her down. Today she tells you her mother is sick, the next day its her creditor harassing her or one incredible story. Everyone has got problems but when you see she has made it a habit and she’s not independent, then that’s a sign.

Money and Sex become top priority

Money and sex, what a combo! While some men have established that as the basis of the relationship from the onset, others unknowingly enter one. You realize that all you both talk about is money and sex. There’s no depth in the relationship, no care, love, affection, and “communication”. All you both ever seem to talk about are shallow things(temporal things). Every night together becomes a night of negotiation and requests.

Interested in your bank account details

She wants to know everything! The bank(s) you use, account details, last transaction,  payday and who else you’re sending money to. That seems to be the only thing she remembers so that she can strategise on how to extort money from you. She gets upset or edgy whenever you tell her about a friend you want to lend some money to or helping out your family when in need. That’s because she feels after giving out money to people, you won’t be willing to give her enough money when she asks so she advices you against helping your friends.

15 Things NOT to Say/Do on your First Date

• Your first date is the biggest night, its your chance to make a permanent impression and trust me positive impressions are noticed and negative ones ruins a lot. You are likely to be nervous and just go on chattering or worse making a fool of yourself. To guide against this, here are tips on what you should never say or do on a first date.

1. PAST RELATIONSHIP DISASTERS

‘My ex wronged me, he hurt me so bad’ or ‘I am still very much in love with my ex’ Zip it! Don’t ever mention that on a first date or any date at that. Your ‘ex’ is in your past, there is a reason he/she is your ‘ex’ so let it stay in the past. Else he/she is going to think you wanna make them pay for what another person did.

2. YOUR DATE IS NOT A TV SCREEN

Don’t let him/her do all the talking while you just seat there and watch like it’s some reality show. You too should start a conversation, make jokes, make them laugh, most people easily fall in love with a person with a sense of humour.

3. DON’T BATH IN YOUR PERFUME(S)

You should smell nice, everyone love a nice fragrance but when you start smelling like 10 designer perfumes that’s so wrong. You don’t want your date to choke on his/her breath.

4. DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU JUST ROLLED OUT OF BED

Your natural look is one thing but looking like you can’t be bothered on a first date is definitely a deal breaker, the efforts you make to look good will not go un-noticed, don’t make your date think they are not worth the effort. Its a first date, so make it look like one.

5. ACTING LIKE SOME GODDESS WAITING TO BE WORSHIPED

You feel you are very beautiful/handsome, everyone feels that way about themselves but when you start acting like a trophy to be won on a first date… All the best oo!

6. GLANCING AT OTHER PEOPLE

You might think your date is not looking but trust me, first dates are for strict observation..LOL.

7. EATING HALF OF THE ORDER

If you can’t eat a full plate then order a half plate, don’t order for food and eat half leaving the other half for ‘who’? Men think its ‘hot’ when a woman un-apologetically enjoys a good meal and likewise.

8. LITTLE MISS PERFECT

Come off it! Be yourself, don’t speak from your nose, don’t laugh at everything he says even when its not funny, don’t be fake, he’ll know. You will just look like a freak.

9. DON’T EVER GET DRUNK ON A DATE

Its a date and not a drinking night. He might drop up at home just to make sure you are safe but no one want to get stuck with a drunk.

10. TELLING SECRETS

Don’t start ‘can I share my darkest secret with you’? On a first date, its really bad. At least let him/her prove trustworthy.

11. LIFE IS NOT THAT GREAT

Seriously? You don’t want your date thinking you don’t have your life together!

12. DO YOU INTEND TO MARRY ME?

Yeesh….are you kidding, he/she is going to feel like you are just meaning to trap him/her. Most people hate marriage talk,’ they are not ready until they are ready’ so don’t ever ask that on a first date.

13. HATE MY JOB TALK

Please keep all negativity to a minimal, no job talk, no one wants to be around a pessimist or a sadist. So please zip it!

14. BRINGING YOUR FRIEND(s)

This is not a Hang out its a ‘first’ date. Three is a crowd, so once you bring your friends then its called hanging out.

15. FINANCE/INCOME

Please keep that talk for your accountant, no one needs to know how rich or broke you or your family is, or how much you make except if they are out for your money. Remember that night is all about getting to know each other, what you enjoy, your belief, personality and stuff.

10 ways to be the Perfect Girlfriend

It takes two to tango! So does it take two understanding people to make a relationship work. Every man wants a woman that supports him and who can hangout with he and his friends. You don’t want to be the girlfriend that is never given attention or confused on how to get him crazy about you again. So here are some important tips to consider if you want him running into your arms, every single time!

1. Show him love

This is definitely the first step to owning that spot in his heart. Love him like he’s the only guy in the world. Make him feel special and happy. Let him know and feel that he’s the king of your heart  and no one can replace him. He likes the fact that you’re crazy about him so show him by giving him those tender kisses, hugs, smooches, and say “I love you” when there’s a chance.

2. Don’t be too possessive

Its cute to get jealous at times and make him feel like you dont want to loose him to anyone but when you start checking his messages and contact list, that can be a big turn off. Your man doesnt want to feel like he is being monitored or watched. Have some trust him and let him feel that he has got a confident woman not an insecure girl.

3. Just be yourself

Don’t try to be like a supermodel or Beyonce because he likes her music or has a few photos of her on his phone or change the way you laugh or act because you want to impress him. Men notice all that but its not going to change a thing because he loves you for who you are and that is the reason he asked you out in the first place. Look good for him, stay fresh and as beautiful as you were when you just met . So be free to laugh loud and act silly around him, he likes it!

4. Care for him

Let him know that you are always going to be there for him through thick and thin not just by saying it but your actions should correspond. Ask him about his family especially the brother or sister that he is really attached to. Talk about work and what business venture he plans to dive into. Be the caring girlfriend that wants to know if he has had lunch,dinner, how healthy he is eating. You can also put in some efforts by cooking for him or preparing something special and bringing it to him. The path to a man’s heart is through his belly so cook well for him.

5. Give him space

Yes ladies, give your man some space! You don’t want him feeling all chocked up around you. Let him have some time to hangout with his friends and do some exciting thing except he invites you, best time to hangout with your friends too. Don’t be a clinch or the girlfriend that is there 24/7. Let him miss you a little and think about you then give you a call.

6. Be independent

Don’t be the girl who runs to her man at every little problem, try to fix things yourself. At the beginning of the relationship he might find it cute that you see him worthy enough to help out but if you keep calling on him, he might begin to find it irritating so don’t push it ladies. Pay your own bills if you can, fix that broken tap or call a plumber. Don’t stress him out or be that needy chick, he can start to think twice about you.

7. Never compare him to your Ex’s

He might not be hottest or the richest but he’s willing to do everything in his power to please you and make you happy. So acknowledge the fact that he’s putting in effort and make him feel appreciated. Don’t complain when that favour you requested for isn’t forthcoming or make spiteful comments about he not measuring up to your ex. That can hurt his pride so instead just be supportive and give him the energy he requires emotionally.

8. Communicate with him

Let him know what’s going on in your life and what your fears are, he’s listening! A problem shared is half solved so confide in him and he will do the same. He’s not a magician and cannot read your mind so don’t be shy to open up to him about work, the girl you’re having problems with, your family. Let him be your friend not just your lover. There should always be something to talk about but when there’s nothing, just cherish the silence and cuddle.

9.  Stay Loyal

Chris Brown thinks we ain’t, prove him wrong! BE LOYAL. Don’t be the chick that flirts with her man’s friends or keeps secrets, he might start to have reasons to doubt your loyalty. Let him know he’s the only one and you’re as committed as he is in the relationship. Be honest and never leave anything unsaid concerning your feelings or changes you’re starting to see that you don’t like.

10. Be positive

Learn to see the best in him and give compliments when he does something right or when he’s looking his best. Try to embrace him and let him know that you liked it when he helped with the dishes or helped to carry your bag. Don’t be negative or start silly arguments, that’s a total turnoff! When you focus on the negative, all you”ll see is negativity. Be the backbone he needs and not the bone in his throat.
