By intimacy, I mean this: I do my best to capture precious, up close, intimate moments with a woman [e.g., things a woman typically does in private, such as, when she dresses/undresses; removes her bra; takes a shower or a bath; puts on her make up; preens before a mirror; brushes her hair; daydreams; and aches from missing her guy, as her guy misses her, longs for her, wishes he was with her and allows nothing to prevent him from being with her.
I also strive to stimulate a thought provoking, emotional connection between those who look at my pictures and the pictures I take, ranging from stimulating thoughts about common man-woman issues or political issues that can impact their lives.
Every heterosexual guy who ever loved a woman and could not be with her when he wanted to be knows well the pain and the lost I focus upon, and the joy he experiences when he is reunited with his woman and gets to share her precious companionship. That companionship can be a simple sincere smile, a nudge, a passionate embrace or the woman giving her guy a big thrill, such as, running nude on a beach, to make his world rock!
However, by intimacy, I mean far more than pure sex. I also include a deeper, more significant, more meaningful, more comprehensive kind of intimacy. This kind arises from mutual trust, cooperation, and long, heartfelt, honest conversations where one bares one’s soul, goals, dreams, passions and fears to the other . . . and is well received!


“Love Is Blind” is known for being a corny cliche — and an addictive Netflix show. It’s also becoming a reality for more daters, according to recent data from Match users.
Nearly half, 49%, of the 5,000 surveyed said they had fallen in love with someone they were not initially attracted to. Ten years ago, only 38% of daters said the same thing.
The qualities singles are looking for have little to do with looks.
The top 5 qualities single people want in a potential partner instead, according to Match Data, are:
- 94% Daters want someone they can trust and trust
- 92% Many daters want someone who is comfortable communicating their wants and needs
- 92% Many daters want someone who is emotionally mature
- 92% Daters want someone who can make them laugh
- 89% daters want someone who is comfortable with their sexuality
Good mental health trumps good looks
Other data confirms that data prioritizes good mental health over looks.
93% of users of Hinge, which is owned by Match, would rather date someone who is emotionally vulnerable, according to Hinge data. They care more about this than height or income.
They specifically want to hear about a potential partner’s values and feelings, as well as hopes and fears of the relationship.
97% of singles want to date someone who takes care of their mental health, and 86% say they are more likely to go on a second date with someone who mentioned they go to therapy than on the first date.
Further down the list, below all of these traits is physical attraction: 86% of daters look at a potential partner, according to Match Data.

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” - Henry Ford How do you build a solid sponsor-site working relationship from site identification to closeout and beyond? We introduced this topic at ACRP 2018, but strongly believe it deserves a deeper look, as these relationships can have significant impact on overall study success. Through an interactive session, we aim to identify the framework that builds a successful sponsor-site relationship beyond a single clinical research project.

A friend of mine will be getting married late next year and I’m so happy for her. She’s planning a small wedding in the Bahamas with just her family and she’s already asking me for tips to make her big day special and memorable. I say getting married by the beach is already going to be memorable, especially saying “I do” just as the sun sets (my goodnes how romantic!). She already found a stunning dress to wear, perfect for a beach wedding and it suits her body well. She plans to give nicaragua cigars to the groomsmen and pearl bracelets for the bridesmaids. I can’t wait to see pictures of her on her special day, I’m sure she will be one beautiful bride.
A beach wedding for her


“Gagey, just got down on one knee and asked me to marry him,” she enthusiastically announced to me and Gage’s mom who was standing with me.
“Really?!!?? What did you say?” we both asked in unison.
“I said yes,” she replied jumping up and down as she gazed at her new ring.
The whole scenario was precious, indeed.
But what we thought was a brief role-play between two kindergarteners has had more staying-power than any of us first anticipated. Gage’s “proposal” to Jessie occurred several months ago, but it has carried all the seriousness five-year-olds can grasp. Jessie has never once removed her ring, they both speak of their impending marriage “when they are adults,” they frequently make gifts and write notes to each other, while also wanting to commit their time and energy to their relationship. It is truly hilarious and touching all at once!
Gage is a smart, respectful and sensitive little guy—our neighbor and son of dear friends. He was there holding Jessie’s hand on the first day of school, they eat their snack together at kindergarten each day, and regularly play with one another in our neighborhood. In fact, it would be hard not to have a five-year-old crush on such a sweet and cute little guy. But a few weeks ago, I realized their engagement carried a totally different significance for Jess.
She and her friend Emma were in the backseat of my car conversing. They began chatting about the engagement when Jessie made a suggestion, “Emma, you could marry one of your brothers.”
“I don’t want to marry any of my brothers!” Emma emphatically replied.
“Well, I would marry my brother, but he isn’t here. Gage is like a brother to me. That’s why I want to marry him.” In that moment, I realized Gage was meeting a special need in her young, grieving heart.
So, how do you respond when your five-year-old daughter declares that she’s engaged?
Well, I rejoice that God has seen fit to provide her a friend that can fill some of the void in missing her brother. I’m a fan of her “Gage-ment!”

SAC member Patricia Smith, S-LP(C) has written an article for the SAC Communiqué Blog to tell the stories of two of her clients and to reflect on the impact S-LPs have on the clients they serve. She aims to answer the following questions: what is needed for essential advancements in the areas of communication that would ultimately lead to a happy life and what are the key factors that make this happen?
“This is certainly not a scientific study and my results and comments are merely reflective of my life spent as an S-LP. Based on this, my hypothesis would be that positive connections between a professional (in this case, the S-LP) and clients as well as their families is one of the key factors to their success. These connections are not only with our clients. Looking at that person as a “whole” and not just at the separate “parts”, it is equally as important to build connections with the parents, grandparents and others significant in the life of that individual. We do not take a course on this when we are working towards our degrees, but maybe we should.”


This is my boyfriend, Kevin.
Lately, I’ve noticed that I am totally “that girl” who talks about her boyfriend all the time. That’s because he’s awesome. I guess you could say I’ve been feeling particularly lucky as of late, to have this guy around. There are so many things I appreciate about this human being, it’s difficult to realize myself sometimes. From the moment I met him I knew he was special. We were friends for years before coming together as a couple, and he was just the best friend you could ever think of having. Kevin has the innate ability to make a person feel special. No matter who you are, what you look like or think, he can talk to you on a real level. He’s very relatable, and kind. And it always just felt good to be with him. But relationships aren’t perfect, as many of you know, it wasn’t always pretty between us. In fact, sometimes it was down right heinous.
We are no stranger to difficulties, it seems as though over the years the cards have never been stacked in our favor, but we persevered. And I think we’re stronger than ever! Here are some things I love about Kevin:
He makes me laugh.
He loves animals.
He loves my family
He loves to travel.
He loves music.
I love many things about him. He’s just plain great. I think the thing I love the most, and means the most to me, is that when I’m around Kevin, I can be the person that I want to be. I don’t have to worry about being stupid or unattractive, or worry he will be offended by my ideas. He is so open minded, and adaptable. I can’t tell you how much it means to me when he wants to make Tofu for dinner, or when he spends an extra 3 dollars on eggs so I can have my peace of mind. And he tolerates all of my silly behavior:
We have a good time together. I really cannot WAIT to add more countries to our list, more states, more cities, more experiences, more concerts, more moments. This is not to say we are committed for life, but I am sure excited for whatever adventure comes next. Regardless of what the future brings, this person will always mean so much to me. I just love him.


Sexuality is a profound contributor to a healthy and dynamic couple relationship. Some couples experience a passionate connection from the first eye contact and others build toward a deep and passionate connection. There is no right or wrong in being present to the differing ways of being together and types of lovemaking experiences. There are however, difficulties that may emerge from the first attempt at lovemaking to dissatisfactions or even dysfunctions that can arise at any point in the couple’s life. These include loss of desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, sexual pain, among a list of clinical conditions.
The most recent sex therapy research suggests that often these sexual struggles have their roots in the couple’s relationship dynamics. However, before making this assumption it is important for the Sex Therapist to do a comprehensive assessment:
- the possibility of biological or chemical contributors (medical conditions, medications, neurophysiological changes at different parts of the life cycle)
- the relationship itself- couple dynamics; use of skills of emotional competence, interpersonal and problem solving skills
- individual challenges- conscious and unconscious beliefs and attitudes regarding gender, sexuality, relationship, developed in family of origin; trauma history
- stressors- financial, social, immediate and extended family
- coping resources
A good relationship can be defined as one in which both members of the couple have their needs for safety (can be vulnerable and trust will be understood and not dismissed), affection, companionship, presence, open and truthful communication, emotional intimacy, sex worth having and commitment to keeping the relationship alive and growing.
Following are some of the skills that each member of the couple needs in order to build a good and even great relationship.
- Awareness that I and my partner are separate and different people. We choose to be in a relationship with each other.
- Awareness of my emotional state. I can identify and name my feelings and am aware of the body sensations or physical state that correlates with the feeling.
- Awareness of my partner’s emotional state. I am interested to know my partner’s feelings, thoughts and concerns.
- I can express my feelings, needs and wants. This can often be difficult for a number of reasons. A common one is the myth that if you really loved me, you would know what I want and you would do it without my needing to tell you. Couples need to learn that no one can mind read. Feelings, thoughts, needs and wants must be clearly spoken in order for your spouse to know and understand you. Another reason that couples find it difficult to speak their feelings, wants and needs is growing up in a family where saying I need was not encouraged or actively discouraged and even called selfish. This may contribute to an undeveloped understanding of their emotional life. As a result a person will have difficulty articulating feelings, even though they are visible on their faces and in their bodies.
- I have developed the capacity to reflect. I understand that feelings are related to the meaning and perspective and that these effect verbal and behavioral expressions.
- I can attend to my partner’s reaction. This means that I have the capacity to be in my own shoes and my partner’s shoes and move comfortably between the two positions. It also means that I understand that my words and behavior effect my spouse and his/hers effect me and we can talk about this in a self regulated and respectful way.
- Self regulation is the critical skill. It is connected to the ability to tolerate emotional discomfort, which we experience during moments of conflict and difference. The field of neuroscience has helped us understand that when feelings are intense, one cannot think until we have returned to a calm space. This means that in order to build a successful and satifying relationship, one needs to practice and master self soothing skills. These enable us to avoid damaging interactions and empower us to make choices that promote happiness. They calm reactive emotional states and enable us to stay present during difficult moments.
- Awareness that in moments of difficulty, each partner contributes to the difficulty. Beware of blaming, shaming, attacking.
Couples and Sex Therapy is an important resource for couples who are struggling with dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their relationship and their sex life. Sex Therapists are skilled in diagnosing the roots of the difficulty and intervening in ways that will help the couple regain pleasure in being together and in using both verbal language and the non verbal language of sexuality to create an intimate and passionate connection.


THINGS I LIKE
- when people use my name in conversation
- when people say “this reminded me of you!”
- when people remember little things i say/do
- when people genuinely thank me for things i’ve done for them
- when i think of the same thing at the same time as someone else and you give each other the look
"HOE SHUT THE FUCK UP"
I think this just made my life
This Demi Lovato?
This is PRICELESS.
I honestly think if he was with anyone he would tell us because any real relationship he’s been in he’s told the truth about it. I think him and Rih are just associates maybe even friends that used to mess with each other, that’s it. In my mind he’s single until HE says different.
Yeah, and if he’s with Rih it’s for sexual gain. It’s always been like that. Tbh.
are you fuckin kidding me


Types of Friends
Epistemic Status: My best guess. I present a framework for thinking about things, not absolute truths.
Not all friendships are created equal. There are two main scenarios when reflecting on friendships becomes important:
- When understanding your friendships, which ones are most valuable to you, and which types you want to build more of.
- When building software that targets friendships (i.e. social media apps) in order to know which types of friendships you are targeting.
There are two important dimensions that define a friendship. The bond type, and the enhancement type.
Friend Bond Type
Friend bonds are the forces that keep friends together. Different types of bonds often reinforce one another when coding a strong friendship.
Bonds of Proximity
These are bonds formed by the power of physical proximity. This includes living in the same neighborhood, same dorm / group home, being in the same class at school, etc.
These bonds are rarely strong enough to maintain a friendship are their own. They are often just a supplement to reinforce another type of bond.
Purely proximity based friendships are often superficial and cast in a negative light, but just because your friendship has an element of proximity does not mean this is the case. Adding an element of proximity to strengthen a friendship can be very useful and should not be viewed negatively.
Bonds of Longevity
This type of bond appears between two people with a long history of friendship and memories. These are friends that are kept together by a common history. Old high school friends are a good example; You form very close bonds with one another during high school, and then are kept together by those bonds even after changing significantly in college to the point where you likely would not be friends with one another if you were to meet one another for the first time.
Bonds of Affinity
These are friends that are kept together by a shared interest often seen in the form of a hobby. You can think about it like proximity of interest.
Examples of common interests:
- (insert interest here)
Communities of people often form around a shared interest.
Bonds of proximity over power other bonds when you are younger and less defined in your interests/values, but as you grow older and more defined in your interests/values you reach more for friends of affinity.
Good friendships are some of the most effective ways to enhance a person’s life. There are three main areas of life that friendships enhance; most friendships enhance all three to some degree, the extent to which of each varies between each friendship.
Personal Development / Growth
Friendships can be very powerful for helping people grow in their character, abilities, etc.
Fun / Adventure
Friendships often increase the level of fun and adventure in a person’s life.
Friendships can be a source of emotional support.
What is the Relationship between Bond Type and Enhancement Type?
- Proximity bonds increase the accessibility of the enhancement.
- Longevity bonds increase the trust in the enhancement.
- Affinity bonds increase the compatibility of the enhancement.
Why Does Any of This Matter?
I mentioned at the beginning that not all friendships are created equal. By better understanding your friendships and friendships in general, you can optimize them better both for yourself and businesses.
In my own life I’ve used this framework to understand that I want to hone in on friends built around bonds of affinity and development/growth. I don’t especially value bonds of longevity partially because I have more friends than I can dedicate my full attention to. This means I don’t try too hard to maintain relationships with childhood friends that I no longer share affinity with.
In some ways it is sad to view friendships as something to be optimized, but at the same time I don’t think people dedicate enough time to such optimizations; The people you surround yourself with probably has more of an effect on the course of yourlife than anything else!
On another note, it is important to consider friendships types when building businesses/tools that target social relationships. It’s crucial to understand which types of friendships make up your target market in order to properly cater to them.


Friday, Sept 8, 2017. The general atmosphere and philosophy of the New Testament is quite amazing. Jesus describes the relationship between his heavenly father and himself. And he invites all humans to enter the same type of relationship: a relationship of trust and love, of truth and honesty!
Invitation to come …
Within the relationship to God, we are invited to bring him our needs. We are invited to ask, and we are promised to be given. We are invited to knock at his door, and he will let us in. We are invited to search him, and we will find!
Let us listen to the words as reported by the gospel of Matthew, chapter 7:
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! (from Matthew 7)
This is great …
We all know how it is to have a good friend. We know that our friend will help us, when we ask him. We would never misuse him or her, we would only ask if it is needed. But we know our friend would do!
Jesus desribes the relationship of the people who have come to the Lord in these terms. It is like a fantastic friendship. God is good, he whants the best things for us. He is honest, he is full of love. He is trustworthy. He is the eternal creator, full of light, he is love and light himself! We are invited to come. When we knock, seriously search him, we will find. And we will be let in. He has prepared a room for you.
Jesus words establish a new kind of life. His words establish sustainable relationships, built on truth, on support, on honesty and love. Nothing less leads to eternal life! Nothing less would be a mode and environment, in which you would want to live eternally. Now, we are invited to come, to experience the presence and love of God, to ask and to be given, so search and to find! (Roland Potthast) ... more texts


“I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.”—Haruki Murakami (via psych-facts)
How will you know when you’ve found “The One”? What’s the difference between someone you really like and your soul mate? Here are some clues that you’ve found “The One”:
· Unexplainable feeling. We always hear people say that you just know it when you’ve found the one. When you ask someone how they knew they were with their soul mate, they’ll often respond that they can’t quite explain it but they “just knew”. You can’t put your finger on it, but there’s a feeling you get when you’ve hit the nail on the head. If you have to ask, you probably haven’t found it yet.
· You get each other. If you and your partner just get each other, they could be the one. When you understand each other without having to work at it, you’re definitely on to something. It’s easy to be around someone who gets you and understands your personality without having to try too hard.
· It’s easy. Some people in your life take a lot of effort to be around. Maybe you feel like you need to entertain them or work hard to make conversation. When you’ve found “The One”, it’s just easy. You can hang out and do anything and still have fun. Being together is effortless and enjoyable without either of you having to be “on”.
“I want to wake up next to you, eat breakfast with you, get changed with you, play computer games with you, watching movies with you in bed, hold your hand and watch tv, send you cute texts, buy you gifts, nap together, wear your comfy hody when I’m cold, look into your eyes, be with you at sunrise and sunset, cook for you, walk in the rain with you, fall asleep whilst on the phone to you, snuggle in bed, mess up your hair, kiss you goodnight.”—Unknown (via psych-facts)

It’s a classic body language sign. In some men, this is very noticeable, whilst it is more difficult to spot in others. And, of course, the lighting you’re in will determine whether you’ll be able to see it.
Whether it's your hot new coworker, your cute next-door neighbor who helped you move in, or a friend of a friend with a great smile, you probably wish there was a way to see exactly how he feels.
Before you make the move to ask him out, there are things you can look for to determine whether your offer will be well received.
Signs of male attraction are mostly primal and performed unconsciously. In this quick guide, we'll give you a head-to-toe list that will help you in reading men's body language of attraction. Once you know what to look for, it can be much easier to discern whether a guy is attracted to you. Some of these signs are subtler, and others are a bit more obvert. The signs of physical attraction between two people are divided into three main categories: facial expression, body language, and behaviors.
The types of signs displayed vary between the genders, with some overlap. Dating may not come with an instructional manual, but this guide can teach you the basics. Throughout the animal kingdom, body language is an important part of the mating process. It's a way for potential partners to communicate their attraction and availability to one another.
Humans may have evolved to communicate with language, but we still retain many primal ways of speaking with our bodies and faces. Many of these signs of strong physical attraction are performed subconsciously — we're not aware of them, we just perform them instinctively. While everyone has different ways of flirting, body language is a universal part that we don't have much control over. It occurs automatically, without our effort most of the time.
Overall, research has found that men display signs of attraction that are more forward and dominant. Women, on the other hand, appear more modest and gentle when it comes to flirting.
Now that we've established the role that body language plays in the courtship process, let's break it down into categories. Increased eye contact and attraction are strongly linked. If a guy is interested, he will probably attempt to hold your gaze whenever he can capture it. You might even be able to read his intentions by the way he's looking at you-intensely like he's trying to peer inside your head.
A more obvious sign is if you catch him checking you out when he thinks you're not aware. Whether it's a quick glance at your cleavage or a sweeping inventory of your entire figure, it's a clear sign that he likes what he's seeing. One exception is if the guy in question is particularly shy. He may find it too intense to hold eye contact with you if he's very attracted to you or worry about the consequences if he gets caught staring at your body.
With this type of guy, you may frequently notice him breaking eye contact and looking down. This "smooth move" is a type of grooming behavior that indicates he's concerned with looking his best in front of you. He may slide his hand through his hair while the two of you are chatting or he discretely fixes himself up when you walk away for a moment. You might even catch him checking out his own appearance in the nearest reflective surface to make sure that he's giving a good impression.
If you've ever read a romance novel, you may have noticed frequent usage of the phrase "crooked smile. Men will often display a crooked, flirtatious smile when speaking with a woman that they're attracted to. This makes him appear warm, confident, and non-threatening, all desirable qualities to a mate. Researchers have identified there are certain signals a man who is interested in someone displays when he is sitting and having a conversation with them.
If you notice a man is tilting his body toward you and pointing his feet in your direction, it's a sign that he's highly attuned to you. Another type of grooming behavior, in addition to messing with his hair, is straightening his clothes. You might see him tugging on his buttons, straightening his tie, or adjusting his sleeve cuffs.
These kinds of behaviors are subtle signs that he wants to look his best in front of you. In addition to tilting his body in your direction, a man who is attracted to you may begin to subconsciously mirror your movements. This behavior is displayed by men and women who are interested in one another.
We tend to feel more at ease and comfortable with people who display this type of mimicry from time to time. So if you notice during a conversation that he appears to be copying some of your movements, it could be because he's attracted to you.
If you had the experience of a boy teasing you as a child, you were probably told that he was doing it "because he likes you. Desire can do strange things to people. Unspoken attraction can cause a great deal of tension and frustration and some guys may resort to this behavior to express it. As an outlet, he may start teasing you here and there. You may even find yourself responding if there's a mutual attraction. As long as his comments don't turn mean-spirited, this can be an enjoyable way to flirt.
If he goes out of his way to talk to you, whether you work together, have mutual friends, or just cross paths often in your daily routines, it's a clear sign he's interested in pursuing you. A guy who is not interested is not going to waste the time or effort.
This could also mean he really values your company as a friend, but if he's single and displaying other signs on this list, he's probably attracted to you. This one harkens back to our primitive natures. Men have been found to display competitive behaviors when they are with a woman they're sexually attracted to and consider other men possible competition. He probably won't be aware of his feelings of jealousy, but it can still influence his behavior.
Examples include trying to get your attention by showing off on the job or bragging about his accomplishments or cracking jokes that contain subtle put-downs to his friends. Or lifting something heavy like it was made of paper.
While you certainly don't want to date someone who comes off as a complete jerk, these "peacocking" displays mean he wants to impress you. Even a guy who usually doesn't experience much anxiety can become affected when he's in the presence of someone he's really attracted to. He may become distracted and self-conscious and find it hard to keep his cool. You may notice him stumbling over his words or wiping away sweat from his brow.
Or you may even see his hands shaking a little. In any case, unless there's another obvious trigger for his anxiety, it can be a sign that you're having a profound effect on him.
It's worth noting that female body language is somewhat different from male body language. Being aware of your own body language when you're attracted to someone can help you understand yourself better and allow you to communicate the signals you give off loud and clear. Signs of mutual attraction can often play out like a dance between two people. Women's methods of flirting and displaying attraction tend to be less overt than men's, although research has shown that women are more attuned to picking up on signs of attraction from men.
Women also perform a lot of the same body language that men do when they're interacting with someone they're attracted to, including brief touches, grooming behaviors, and prolonged eye contact.
Dating can be disheartening, especially if you've suffered through a breakup or rejection along the way. All of us develop ways of interacting with the people we're interested in that are influenced by our early attachment styles and defining moments in our lives.
Therapy can help you untangle these threads to help you get a better handle on the source of any issues in your dating life. Whether its feelings of insecurity after a messy breakup, continuing after a series of disappointing prospects, or just not knowing what you want, an experienced counselor from Regain.

An open posture and facial expression are also signals of attraction. Acting fidgety or nervous, or blushing and getting sweaty palms, is also a sign that someone is attracted to you.
Behaviors such as adjusting clothing and smoothing hair are clues that a person is feeling attraction towards you as well. Even if a person is trying to hide their attraction for you, reading body language will give away their true feelings. A person who is secretly attracted to you may also act fidgety or show another sign of nervousness around you.
There are several types of body language that show attraction. Body language signals like eye contact, reduced blinking, dilated pupils, and lifted eyebrows are a few signs. There are plenty of ways to tell if a person is attracted to you based on body language signs. A body language expert might tell you to start by looking at their eyes. Prolonged eye contact, raised eyebrows, and dilated pupils are all evidence of attraction. Open body language and facial expressions are also signs a guy or girl is feeling attraction towards you.
But the body language of attraction is difficult to hide, even if nobody is verbally acknowledging it. There are many body language signs of unspoken attraction, such as prolonged eye contact, spending lots of time together, mirroring each other, and maintaining close physical proximity. The human body is capable of communicating a lot through the actions of each body part, but sometimes the signal that men or women give off can be confusing.
Are they just being friendly, or are they interested in you sexually? Some telltale signs include eye contact or even staring at you, open body language, making excuses to touch you, getting jealous when other people pay attention to you, and acting especially smiley and flirtatious.
In addition, someone may be thinking about you sexually if your intuition tells you that they are! First, show some interest in them! Ask questions and really listen to their answers. Build trust in the relationship and show them that they can be vulnerable around you. You can also tell them how you feel and see what their response is.
If someone is confused about their feelings for you, they may act protective and caring towards you. They may get jealous if someone else shows interest in you, or if you show interest in someone else. They may even lean in to kiss you and then pull away if they are feeling unsure!

So, I’ve been single for little over a month now and I’ve decided to give Tinder a go. To be honest I’m not looking for another relationship but I enjoy going on dates and meeting new people so this seemed like a good place to start, especially considering the entertainment value you get from it.
I went on my first date a few days ago and thought I’d report back to you guys. I will obviously not give details of who it was and won’t tell you exactly where we went out of respect for the guy’s privacy.
When I agreed to the date I was quite attracted to the guy, who we’re going to call A (cause A comes first in the alphabet). He’s sporty, a nice guy and well mannered. However a few days later, when it was time for the date I was starting to go off him, there had been zero flirting and he seemed too nice which I know sounds like an odd thing to say. I couldn’t see myself joking around with him and was getting nervous in case the date was full of awkward silences.
Now, onto the date itself. He came and picked me up which is definitely something I’d expect on a first date so although it was nice of him, he hadn’t earned any brownie points just yet. The initial conversation was pretty much just centred around university life, no joking, no flirting. If I was ranking the date on a scale of -10 to 10 he was probably sitting around 0 at this point. I put the lack of jokes down to nerves, the guy didn’t seem like he did this a lot.
We arrived at the cocktail bar (his choice) and I was impressed. It was casual and had a great menu and was a good vibe for a first date. I’d definitely suggest going there in future with another guy. The location choice definitely took him up into positive figures, however he did say he was only going off recommendations and not experience so it didn’t take him far, maybe sitting around 2 at the moment. His drink choices were pretty good, and as I work in a cocktail bar I definitely judge people on their choices (bad I know). This took him up to a 3.
He had an idea of one person suggesting a category and the other giving their top 5, for example top 5 songs, top 5 foods etc. Although it’s a good way to get the other person’s likes and dislikes I would’ve preferred to just chat and see where the conversation took us. this took him back down to 0. I feel like that’s something you could do when you’re just chilling with someone and run out of stuff to talk about, and isn’t something I’d use as a conversation starter.
Another idea he had was to choose a drink for each other, which I actually quite liked, We’d just discussed our top 5 cocktails though so it made the job pretty easy.
The moment I knew this date was going to be a stand alone occasion was when he voiced his opinion on tattoos. I have two, which he didn’t know initially. He said he disliked them and thought they were a bad idea. When I mentioned mine he didn’t back down out of politeness or respect, in fact he just re-voiced his initial opinion. That made it awkward to say the least. His points score took a pretty decent fall into the negative numbers and never recovered. I’d say he was around -4 at this point.
We managed to pick up conversation again but I was really not into it at this point and I knew there wasn’t going to be a second date. We went home and he dropped me off, there was no end of date kiss as you could probably guess.
Overall I’d give him a score of -3 with no chance of a second date.
When he messaged me the next morning (before I was even awake, bit too eager for my liking) and asked me out again I told him sorry, but no. He asked me a couple of times why I wouldn’t go out with him again, which honestly put me off even more because we really didn’t know each other well enough to ask that sort of thing, I felt. I went with the old, ‘it’s me not you’ line and haven’t spoken to him since.


Researchers Draw Romantic Insights From Maps of Facebook Networks - NYTimes.com
So says a new research paper written by Jon Kleinberg, a computer scientist at Cornell University, and Lars Backstrom, a senior engineer at Facebook. The paper, posted online on Sunday, will be presented at a conference on social computing in February.
The pair used a hefty data set from Facebook as their lab: 1.3 million Facebook users, selected randomly from among all users who are at least 20 years old, with from 50 to 2,000 friends, who list a spouse or relationship partner in their profile. That makes for a lot of social connections to analyze, roughly 379 million nodes and 8.6 billion links. The data was used anonymously.
Their key finding was that the total number of mutual friends two people share — embeddedness, in social networking terms — is actually a fairly weak indicator of romantic relationships. Far better, they found, was a network measure that they call dispersion.
“A spouse or romantic partner is a bridge between a person’s different social worlds,” Mr. Kleinberg explained in an interview on Sunday.


Spouses have marital difficulties as varied as the reason for getting married in the first place. The desire for companionship, for emotional closeness, for sex and physical intimacy, for financial security, for children and all these can become sources of marital distress, just as they can draw a couple together.
Sex, emotional closeness, or money, for instance, can each raise issues of, whose needs get met, who feels burdened or cheated, and whose resentment grows to anger or rage. The hurtful silences, or the tears and raised voices or marital arguments, are likely to revolve around these issues or similar ones; how to raise the children, how to balance the demands of work and family, getting along with relatives.
Problems are more likely to flare during transitions; the first year of marriage, the birth of a child, an undesired pregnancy or abortion, or when a child enters school or leaves home. Even the most robust, harmonious marriage, and the most well-balance spouses, can and do experience times of tension.
How do marital problems begin? How did ours begin? These are questions you are sure to ask, but probably should not, because asking how it all began is sure to lead to a cycle of blaming.
Who stared it is beside the point. The truth is that marital problems are a difficulty in the relationship, NOT in either or both of the partners. The problem is in the way you relate to each other and manage you relationship together. NOTE: There are exceptions to this when either or both spouses struggle with their own individual psychological, emotional, psychiatric, or addiction issues.
If it is truly a marital problem, you are both, in different ways, contributing to the problem. And so, you need to work it out together. What needs therapy is what goes on between husband and wife, not just what is happening to one or the other of you.
The signs of trouble are often not the obvious fights, threats, accusations, and weeping that typify a stormy union. Often they are subtle: not being able to talk about an issue, each partner blaming the other for a litany of ills, an emotional abyss that is hidden in a false cordiality, a deadening routine, or a retreat into role-playing. Any of these can eat away at the core of caring and trust that is the foundation of a healthy marriage.
It may be hard for one or both of you to admit to a serious problem in your marriage. It is upsetting to think you may have "FAILED" as a wife or husband, and frightening to think of things not working out. But having trouble "in your marriage is not a sign that the two of you have failed. Rather it is a signal that you could use help for a time to work on your marriage. Even if things seem to have gone too far, if you seem to have genuinely irreconcilable differences, counseling can help you begin talking to see if some hope for the marriage remains.
There appears to be wide spread agreement that, while marriage is one of the richest and most rewarding of all human relationships, it is also, the most complex and requires the greatest amount of effort and attention. However, it is also true that we tend to put the least amount of effort in keeping our marriages alive and healthy. In fact, if we would put as much effort as we -do in our career planning, social life, and other interests, the divorce rate would most assuredly show a major decrease.
There are many causes of marital unhappiness. Usually, involved in most marital problems are ongoing poor communication and lack of an effective method for settling disagreements.
We live in a society in which we have never been taught how to communicate in depth with another human being. There are two levels in any communication between a husband and wife: The content level and the feeling level. The content level involves talking about. "Did it happen on Wednesday or did it happen on Thursday?" "You spent fifty dollars, not thirty dollars.” In other words, the content level involves facts and/or details. The feeling level, on the other hand, involves the feelings beneath the content: Anger, hurt, joy, disappointment. Most of the time, a couple will talk about content and not about feelings. It is the feeling level that is most important for intimacy and happiness in a marital relationship. It is the feeling level that is important for emotionally connecting with your partner, and sensing that you are being understood. Too frequently, spouses do not know how to communicate with one another. This is why arguments never seem to get resolve and angry flare-ups keep coming up over and over again. Or, some couples attempt a quiet truce and agree never to talk about anything important, only to fall back into arguments that lead nowhere. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
COMMON MARITAL MYTHS
Many marriages, particularly young marriages, begin based on false assumptions or myths. These myths, if not sorted 'out, understood and eventually corrected and dispersed of, will continue to undercut and will inevitably destroy the relationship. The following are some of the more common marital myths:
These are just a few assumptions/myths that many bring to marriage that cause ongoing marital difficulties and will probabilities of divorce.

Polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) gene promoter, circulating TNF-alpha level, and cardiovascular risk factor for ischemic stroke

Journal of Neuroinflammation 2012, 9:235 doi:10.1186/1742-2094-9-235Published: 10 October 2012
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is one of the most typical pro-inflammatory cytokines with both beneficial and destructive properties for the central nervous system. Increasing evidences have demonstrated the important role of TNF-α in the development of ischemic stroke, but studies examining the possible association with stroke or direct functional effects of polymorphisms in TNF-α have been contradictory.
In this study, a 2-kb length of the proximal promoter of the TNF-α was screened and four polymorphisms were investigated in the case–control study. Our data confirmed the association between -308G/A variant with stroke in 1,388 stroke patients and 1,027 controls and replicated in an independent population of 961 stroke patients and 821 controls (odds ratio (OR) = 1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.02 to 1.77 and OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.09 to 2.23, respectively). To reconcile the association between polymorphisms and stroke and to give a comprehensive picture of the genetic architecture of this important gene, we performed a meta-analysis of 15 published studies in an Asian population. Our results demonstrated an association between rs1800629 and ischemic stroke (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.21 to 1.69). Another meta-analysis results of 14 studies demonstrated that ischemic stroke patients have higher serum TNF-α level than the control subjects (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.85 to 2.81). In vitro evaluation of potential interaction between variants of the TNF-α gene (−308G/A, -857C/T, and -1031T/C) demonstrated that these three polymorphisms could interact together to determine the overall activity of the TNF-α gene.
These findings strongly implicate the involvement of TNF-α in the pathogenesis of stroke.

Kiwi became famous when his owner first shared photos of him in Instagram. The photos of the colorful and cute parrot simply conquered the hearts of users. Thanks to his owner Kiwi found the love of his life – a dark-toned parrot Siouxie. Despite their different appearance, this couple looks adorable.
We at Beautiful World decided to share with you their love story to show that appearance doesn’t really matter when love is there.
We even don’t know who is more adorable – parrot couple or their lovely owner:
Kiwi was the only parrot and after a while he looked very sand and wasn’t as active as before.
So, the owner decided to find a companion for Kiwi. It was definitely a love at first sight.
They are so different but so adorable when they’re together.
They didn’t stay one without another. They were always together.
The cuteness of these cuddling moment just overpasses.
And this is how they’re hugging each other.
After a while they got news – 4 little eggs and some patience.
At that moment they expressed so much love to each other, that I thought no-one could ever feel love like they did.
Here the first baby came to the life.
He doesn’t look so adorable as his parents, does he?
We all couldn’t wait to see the colors of their feathers.
They grew up, however they all had the same color.
By the time the colors had changed.
At this family portrait you can see all the members.
They all looked different and adorable.
They are so cute, aren’t they?
If you like the story of this family, share it with your friends.


I met Dan in the 1950’s, because I would always be in the way in the pits. We would alway run into each other at different events and had people that we knew in common.
In 2007, I moved and unknown to me (at the time) I moved two house down from his daughter. Our families have been friends since.
My heart goes out to Lyndee and her entire family.
The Trevor’s miss and love you guys.


Jealousy is often described as a disease. I would even say a debilitating disease. Learn opposite words for the emotion and fight back.
If I asked you to tell me the opposite of jealousy you'd probably say trust right? You're not exactly wrong, but recently I discovered there's much more to it than that. Most women are emotionally driven creatures, and can only see through issues with "emotional goggles" on. Men on the other hand are much more logical creations and see through issues with rationalization. That can make a recipe for disaster unless the two are willing to work together and see things from the other's point of view.
On a rational logical level most men tend to think that if there's any sense of jealousy from a woman that she automatically does not trust him. Sometimes that is the case, but others it's really something much more deep rooted. She could completely trust that he would never ever touch another woman but still feel jealousy over thoughts and feelings. To a man this is ridiculousness. Jealousy over a thought? But, he didn't DO anything! Yet his natural born tendency to "check out" other women can send his partner into a downward spiral of debilitating doubt and fear. This can quickly become a relationship deal breaker. What can be done?
The first thing that we all need to accept is that we all look. Men will quickly tell you, "Oh that's just a guy thing." Really, it's not. Women check out men too. If you see a good looking creation it's natural to want to appreciate it. Where women get hung up is that we feel we can appreciate it without feeling like we'd like to take it further, and that men cannot. That leads me to my second point. The second thing we all need to accept is that we have a responsibility in that natural desire to look. What is that responsibility? To not dwell on it. See the creation, appreciate it, and then move on. Men are wired to think those thoughts that we as their women partners dread. WIRED to. It happens before they even realize what they are thinking. A respectful man who is dedicated to his woman will move on and not dwell on the thought. Same with us women. We need to do the same thing.
Men, I need to pick on you here for a minute. You in particular tend to talk to your woman as though she's your buddy. If you see hot woman that you cannot help but to appreciate momentarily...shut up. Don't make comments. Don't bring attention to it. Just appreciate it and move on. If your woman is not there and you're just with your buddies say what you want; but, if your woman is there or your buddies woman is there...keep a lid on it, please. There I've said my piece about that. If you want your woman to get over the jealousy then that's a huge part you can play.
Now, I know that was a long way around the main point of this article, which is the opposite of jealousy. The reason "I said all that to say this", is that deeply emotional women need something extra to let this go. It's important to build that foundation of understanding that was discussed above, but there's an extra push that women may be able to use to honestly put this behind them.
Let's look at some descriptive words for the emotion of jealousy: anxious, apprehensive, guarded, mistrustful, possessive, resentful, skeptical, and suspicious are several. Ladies, does that sound like anything that belongs in a relationship? Nope. That sounds like a quick route to break-up-ville.
Now let's look at some descriptive words that mean the opposite of jealousy: confidence, contentment, satisfied, trusting, unresentful. I like to think of these words as "jealousy fighting tools". You know which one stood out to me the most? Confidence. Have you ever heard the saying, "There's nothing sexier than self confidence"? If you're with a guy who makes you feel like you need to change yourself to be sexy and attractive you're with the wrong guy. A man who appreciates you just like you are, really and truly...can help you see that no matter who else he may see and appreciate it doesn't matter. He knows what he's got; and, he likes looking at you and appreciating you much more than some random chick that crosses the path of his eyes. You are his "baby". She's just some girl he happened to catch a glimpse of.
Think about this. Women who feel like they need to change things to be sexy often don't want their man to see them undressed. They want to hide imperfections. He wants to see you. If you're so worried about how you look that you won't let him see you, how long is it going to be before he starts dwelling on the thoughts of the girl he caught a glimpse of? It's a nasty catch 22 isn't it? Confidence. It's a powerful jealousy fighting tool.
I'm going to take it even further for those of us who really need to "get" it. If your man tells you he loves your butt and it's his favorite thing about you...believe him. Then when you're watching t.v. together and some woman that you feel that you could never live up to shows her butt on t.v. and he likes it...you'll know it doesn't matter. He likes yours better. How do you know for sure he likes yours better? Emotion. See, if we stop to think logically (like a man does) we can get back to what we as women crave...emotion. He is emotionally attached to you. When he sees your butt...it's what he thinks of as his butt. Because of everything he shares with you, you can be assured that no matter what else he sees, he likes yours better. Even if you and he both consider the woman on t.v. a "ten" and you only think of yourself as a seven. You want to be the most beautiful woman in the world to your man. Guess what? You are, and it's because of the emotion. The very thing you crave. The emotion mixed with what he appreciates when his eyes see you makes you the most beautiful to him. Even when he sees a super model (and appreciates it).
Now there are the immature guys who as I mentioned before are going to make comments, tell you that you need to change things, or make you feel like less in their eyes somehow. I used to date a guy who would say (every stinking time!) "Yeah, but it takes money to get a woman like that" every time a super model type would appear on the television screen. To me, that was a message that I was less. If he had money to get a woman like that (the woman I could never be) then he would have. He was just settling for me because he didn't have the money to live out his dream of having a woman like that on his arm.
I've dated men who came to me and told me that "it had to be said" that I needed to lose some weight. Look if you have gained a LOT of weight and your man asks you to work on it, it's not necessarily a message to dump him. How he says it and the amount of pressure he puts on will be an indication of where his heart is. Of course we all want our partners to be healthy and attractive to us. Maybe he's just trying to help you to be healthy and feel better about yourself again. If you just gained a few and he comes to you and makes you feel like your a less attractive version of your formal self then dump him. Right now. Dump him. (And ask him to look in the mirror and tell you what it is that he thinks he has to be so picky about.) We can't use self confidence as a jealousy fighting tool if we're dating "tools". If you're already married to the "tool" I guess you can't just dump him but think hard about what he's really saying to you. If you have a mature man who loves the way you look and you make up your mind to believe him...confidence can be the best jealousy fighting tool you ever had in your possession.
My sweetheart talked to me about this for three days before I could get a grip on it. In man time that felt like 3 weeks probably; but, he saw me through it and the more I "get" it the stronger we become. We can face the world together and know that no matter who we see and appreciate, we always like each other better.
As always if you want to put your two cents in, leave a comment and thanks for reading!


Well, we did it! On December 9th, Susan and I were married in Elkin NC. Susan is a wonderful woman and was definately worth the wait.
People have asked us how we met and we love to
tell them that we met on the internet! We are both members of Classmates.com (which in itself is a wonderful site) and one of the sponsors is Dating Faces. We were both registered and destiny or fate
whichever you want to call it stepped in and we met and fell in love and were married.
People are usually leery of meeting people on the internet, as well they should be, but we both believe that honesty
is the best policy! As long as both parties are honest with each other, if it was meant to be it will be


Hi Soo, thanks so much for the wonderful day I spent with you and your herd. I felt deeply held by your herd for a good week after leaving your place . . . so much magic happening there. I feel a much deeper grounding in life about who I am and where I am going and mainly just an overall sense of peace. I look forward to spending more time with you in the future and bringing my daughters too. Thank you.


I like making small talk with customers while they’re at the register.
So yesterday, while I was ringing in a woman who was buying a dinosaur book, I told her that Liam and I love dinosaurs too, and that I’d once planned a Jurassic Park wedding jokingly.
The woman replied with “Oh, my husband would marry you in a second!”
To which he replied “WHAT? OH MY GOD NO.”


Yesterday I had the privilege of spending some time with Megan and Brad as we shot their engagement session. I love being able to get to know my couples before their wedding, as it gives me a chance to observe each couples' particular dynamic...and it gives the guys a chance to get used to my demands while shooting! Brad was a trooper and a good sport, though, and I am looking forward to their wedding next year!!
Brad's family had this milo field, which luckily for us hadn't been harvested yet!
how do I get so lucky....all my couples are just fab!
Rocky the dog was so cute!! I love it when couples incorporate their animals into the pictures...cause hey, they're family too!
One of Brad's old trucks made a fun prop.
a bit of sunflare by the farm that used to belong to Brad's grandparents.
Megan and Brad, we are gonna have a great time at your wedding! Can't wait!

Posted May 05, 2018 03:21:37You may have heard the word ‘retaliatory’.
Some people call it a ‘tough love’.
And some people call that a ‘love’.
And then there are the women who say it’s a ‘blessing’.
In a recent survey, one in five women (21%) said they felt ‘brought back from the dead’ after leaving their husband, while one in eight (11%) of men felt ‘depressed’ after their wives left them.
Some men say they didn’t want to leave because they knew they’d be left alone by their wife.
But, according to a study, some men say their wives weren’t happy with the way things were.
The study, which was published in the journal Social Science Research, found that while many men are more likely to feel upset after leaving, women are more upset by the same circumstances that led to their departure.
“We found that men who have experienced a separation or divorce are significantly more likely than men who haven’t experienced separation or a divorce to be experiencing feelings of ‘depression’ and ‘mixed emotions’ and feelings of wanting to ‘bring back from death’ from their experience of separation or marriage,” the researchers said.
The results showed that men are often blamed for the loss of loved ones and a sense of isolation.
“When men are blamed for their marriages breaking down, it’s not because they didn, in fact, leave, it is because they were too afraid to leave,” lead author Jessica Gifford said.
“It’s because men are not taking responsibility for their own lives and that’s why they feel like they are the one in control of their lives.”
In a report published in February, the New York Times said women have a history of blaming men for the problems they face.
“In recent years, more women have blamed men for their marriage breakdowns and divorces than blamed husbands for their lives, even when men are the ones who are responsible for their problems,” the report read.
“The pattern of blaming has continued after the recession, with more women blaming men and more blaming themselves.”
In addition to blaming men, some women are blaming men who leave them alone.
“I feel so sad about the fact that I can’t control my feelings and emotions and I’m unable to control my body and I can no longer hold onto my husband,” one woman told the New Yorker.
“There’s something very wrong with me, so it’s just a way of blaming someone else.”
According to the report, many women feel guilty for leaving a husband alone, as well as feeling that they are unable to hold onto their partner and children.
“A lot of women feel guilt because they’re too afraid of what will happen if they leave, they’re afraid of not being able to control the relationship,” Dr Giffords said.
And the results of the survey showed that even if a woman doesn’t feel guilty, it can have a profound effect on her.
“You’re not sure if you are a good or a bad person, and you’re not really sure if what you do is the right thing or not,” Dr. Giffarts said.
In a 2013 study, researchers from the University of Queensland, in Australia, reported that men felt less guilt when leaving a wife alone than when they stayed with them.
“For men, they felt less shame about leaving their wives than they felt about staying with them,” lead researcher Dr Laura Haddock said.
Haddock’s study found that the greater the distance between the wife and the husband, the more guilt a man felt.
“Men who had divorced had higher levels of guilt than those who had stayed married,” she said.
Dr Giffards says that she wants to see women’s stories be told in a way that doesn’t shame women.
“What we really want to do is understand women’s feelings about being left alone and about being separated from their children, and how we can work with them to create spaces for them to be with their children,” she explained.
Dr. Guffords says that in order to do that, we need to take a look at how women are seen in the media.
“Women are often told to stay in the house, they don’t get the attention of the media,” she noted.
“This is because the media is more interested in women than men, so the media doesn’t want women to be seen as victims.”
She says that men should be able to feel as though they’re not alone and that they should feel more connected to their children and their partner.
“If men can talk about their feelings about feeling like they’re being blamed for something that’s going on in their lives and their children’s lives, and their wives are not happy with that, that could be a way for men to be more able to take ownership of their own relationships,” she added.

Java Cabana Weekly Poem
At the Beauty Shop Having a Breakdown
by Mary Burns
Now you just set yourself right down and listen here
while I shampoo your pretty hair. I'm going to tell you
like I tell my three girls. My oldest one is twenty-nine.
A woman always has the upper hand. You hear.
A man will push you as far as you let him. Yes ma'am.
I can tell by the way you are crying, you love
your man more than you love yourself. Never go
loving a man more than you love yourself. No ma'am.
You need to jazz it up. He'll be out in the cold
shoveling snow if you put that foot down.
A pretty girl like you. And you got a figure too.
Why you need to be out there celebrating.
You're not ugly. You're not fat. And you're sitting
here crying over a man who don't have enough sense
to treat you like a woman needs to be treated. Yes ma'am.
A pretty girl like you. You married to him? Why thank the lord.
No need to be crying. Look here at your pretty hair.
I 'll tell you what my oldest daughter says,
she says, "Mama, men use to be worth a dime a dozen,
now they're worth a penny." You got children by him?
Well thank the lord, you sitting here upset you'd be miserable
tied up with a man like that all your days. Yes ma'am. A pretty
girl like you. You better listen to me, I'm telling you like I tell
my own daughters. A good man is right around the corner.
Even a bad man has got a few good men around him. And they watch
and wait for his woman to leave and when she does, there is a good man
around to make sure she gets in good hands, Yes ma'am, maybe even his.
A pretty girl like you. You better listen to me. This old woman knows her words.
A woman always has the upper hand. Yes ma'am.

We have had a fun Christmas season and wanted to share some of the events. We first had a party with my Dad's family which Santa came and we ate and di some fun crafts. Then we had a party with my Mom's family and we played some fun games which included dressing up my Dad as Santa. The grandkids loved that. Then this past weekend we went up to Idaho for Barrett's Mom family party. We got to go bowling, eat good food, see Santa, and exchange our homemade ornaments. We love spending time with our family and can't believe we are only days away from Christmas. We had fun see extended family and sharing some favorite traditions. We love looking at our tree with all the homemade ornaments and remembering each year and family. Brock and Sammi, and even Briggs loved seeing Santa Claus a few times. Although Brock could only say kind of when asked if he was being good, I am sure he will come and get him just what he wants. We love this time of year. We do know the most important part and have also spent time reading stories and talking about Jesus. Merry Christmas!!!

Does size matter?! This was a joke, but I felt it was worth picking up. Within the context of an exclusive life long sexual relationship your partner is your standard of beauty and body composition that God made for you. Within marriage you can enjoy the adventure and exploration of enjoying each other free from false comparisons. So size can bless... but then 'its not the size of the fish - its the motion in the ocean'...?! haha. The most import dynamic for good sex lives is commitment, trust and exclusivity in marriage built on faith in Jesus. If I'm willing to die for my partner, can I sleep with them?
If you are willing to die for them, then you should marry them. Then you can sleep with them. Should Christians go to the safer sex ball?
Questions to consider...
What are you living for?
What are you trying to build with your life?
Does this help or hinder?
I'd say given the levels of alcohol consumption and nakedness that I would not go because it would be both unhelpful and unfruitful. Is passionate kissing ok if you're not married?
In the Church, if you are not married, you are brother and sister. How do you kiss within your family? I know this might depend on where you grew up but its not normal! She/he may marry someone else. How would you feel to be at their wedding?

When I walk by someone I hate
whatshouldwecallme: What I do: What I wish I could do:
Sometimes i think that you only want me back because she didnt want you anymore
There’s nothing worse than feeling worthless
Trying to be productive on a Monday
If i could do it all over again. I would of never broken up with you in the first place.


Regardless of men and women, if you want an absolutely mature partner, then you should find someone who has a wealth of love experience, is emotionally stable, and knows how to get along.
If you find a young person and expect him to be as stable as someone in his thirties, you are just being unrealistic.
As long as two people can communicate smoothly and have the willingness to change and accommodate, then this relationship can still be worth investing in.
❌why is he so naive?
✅why is he still so naive after so many years?
❌why does he keep ignoring our problem?
✅why does he just not take the initiative to solve the problem after all this time?
❌Why doesn't he understand me?
✅Why he still doesn't understand me?
Normal people have all kinds of small problems in their relationships, and the same goes for you.
It is never a YOU -problem but US-problem. Just learn in the relationship and be mature and grow together.


Added this baby to my make-up collection<3
Saw my ex for the first time since we broke up. He’s definitely on something.. nigga thinks I’m a dumb bitch. So over this.
I feel so helpless. I wish things were different, I wish i could help him out. A brother is the first guy friend in a girls life. He means so much to me and knowing he’s not happy breaks my heart.
Regardless of everything. He’s a great dancer.
A guy that can dance is such a turn on.
It just hit me. I don’t have a Valentine this year. LOL big deal! My best friend will take me out somewhere :D

HI, I'm Mary-Ann McKenzie in Australia and I have Alex leaning over my shoulder with tears in his eyes after looking at this video. It is the first time he has seen this and its just fantastic to see Samuel at last. I have been a friend of Alex for nearly 35 years and been through the thick and thin with him and this is one moment I will always remember. Your children are a credit to you both and I wish you and your precious family all the best for the future.
