	from Bonny Albo Whether its a first date or your one hundredth, there are some movies that fit the bill for a night in together better than others. Plus, its a simple and quick date idea for those of you looking to save a bit of cash, while still providing a lovely couple of hours spent together.

In the Spotlight

What Do You Think the Best Date Movies Are?
My number one favorite? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Which might be a tad unique for some, so I've got plenty of action, thrills and romance in my other choices. But what about you? What do you think?

Creative Date Ideas
But if you really want to create a memorable evening - without spending too much cash - then try one of these creative date ideas. Such as what? How about doing something that glows together. Seriously. Don't get what I mean? Read the article, you'll understand soon enough.

Tips on How to Pick Up Women

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:19:00 +0000

"Your mindset and playful attitude is the key"

First time when I stepped into dating game I used to think that being successful with women I had to master technique. I memorized pick up lines and acted so "cool". Those 3 steps I was aware of helped me a little but suddenly i picked up on more women when I had no agenda. I mean when I went out with my friends to have fun, I have actually picked up more women. For a long long time I was figuring this one out why?

Experience is golden. After months of picking up, approaching and dating women experience has taught me that the most important thing is your playful mindset. What exactly do I mean by "playful mindset" anyway? Lets take a look at it in this way. Having the right attitude is the key. Women love men who are funny, smiling and know how to crack a good joke. Remember a rule number one when you pick up women: "It is not how much you like her, but its how much she likes you!"

This is happening very often. A man will approach a woman,start conversation and she doesn't respond the way he expected her to. And then he walks away and a load of negative thoughts boiling in his head. This will keep him from making another approach.

This is not a good place to be in. So what I am trying to say is do not let those negative experiences put you down, walk straight and became master of your thoughts. If you can not get over these irrational emotional feelings, it will be very difficult to master the game of picking up women.

As I mentioned before the key to mastering the game is to have the right playful mindset. If you're really shy guy, by the way I used to be shy as well, then start off by going out no less than 3 times during your first week and meeting women's eyes longer than you normally would. When your second week comes say "hello" or "hi" to one woman a day that you do not know. Your third week you shall double or triple that number. By your fourth week you should start making at least one approach per day. And so on until you get used to it on daily basic.

Its possible that thought of approaching a woman you do not know scares you, then do not worry and try this. Don't take it personally simply just have fun. Imagine that you are playing your favorite computer game. I know what you are thinking now but I'm not kidding, this really works. Look at it in this way, going out and talking to women isn't reality. Think about it, she doesn't know who you are and you do not know who she is. You are only approaching her.She is going to respond to you based on how she feels at that moment, how you look like, and what you say and how you say it. So it's not reality. It's only a very small echo of it. So when you go out to meet new women, don't take anything personally. It's all about having fun, learning, and trying to make women laugh.

There is a secret to becoming successful as pick up women artist and its to act like you deserve to be one. Show a pride in yourself, your surroundings and your achievements and any woman will be impressed and proud to be seen on your arms.

Pick Up Girls by Approaching With Good Body Language

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:07:00 +0000

Approaching with confidence and good body language is super important when meeting girls. And that's because one thing girls are really good at is sizing up a man instantly just by looking at his body language. To successfully approach girls, you absolutely must know the proper way to display that you are a high-value male with your physical presence alone, before you speak a single word.

Otherwise nothing that comes out of your mouth will be able to overcome the hole your poor body language has placed you in. It's kind of like like a dog that's growling yet wagging its tail - you might be able to speak some smooth lines, but your body will be sending a conflicting message, ultimately dooming your approach. On the other hand, if you have good, strong, positive body language, you will automatically generate a little bit of attraction in your target from the get-go, and open the door to continue the interaction. Girls will notice you first, and they will instantly classify you in their minds as a potentially worthy male.

Now, we all know the approach is one of the most critical stages of meeting women. The approach is where you can successfully transition into a successful conversation where you are actually interacting with a girl, opening the door to lead to an actual relationship. The approach can also be the time you get blown out instantly without having had any chance to show your real self and the awesome guy that you are.

And body language is probably the most critical component of the approach - more important than the words you actually say. Did you get that? Body language is MORE important than the actual words you say during the initial approach. And that's because most human communication, up to 90% according to some studies, is nonverbal.

We all probably agree that most people make very fast judgments of other people based on appearance. But girls are even more sensitive to their initial gut reaction to other people. This means you literally have just a few precious seconds to display good body language and create a positive impression in your target's mind. You basically want to show through your body movements alone that you are an "Alpha Male." If you have uncertain mannerisms and movements, or seem indecisive in the way you walk and look around, you can be written off by your target instantly.

So just how do you display alpha male body language?

First of all, stand up straight with good posture. Hold your head up proudly. Do NOT fidget with your fingers or hide your face or chest with a drink or beer bottle. Put your hands at your sides and keep them open, showing your palms (this indicates you are not hiding anything and are trustworthy). Take up a lot of room, more than you may initially feel comfortable with. An alpha male takes up a lot of space, and doesn't "shrink into" himself. Stand with your feet wide apart and scan the room slowly, don't dart or jerk your head quickly as you survey your surroundings. Move deliberately and slower than you would normally. Never shuffle your feet when you walk.

You want to always move purposefully in a direct manner. Approach your target assertively and with confidence by making eye contact and not seeming wishy-washy in your approach. Don't forget to smile! This is so key. Again, SMILE! It makes a huge difference in how friendly you are perceived to be. Generally, you want to appear friendly and sociable (with everyone, not just pretty girls).

At the same time, don't be needy. A groveling, sniveling smile is quite different from a broad, devil-may-care grin. Don't turn your feet and body toward the girl all the way off the bat. Get her to make an investment in the interaction by replying to you, smiling, or displaying other positive indicators of interest. Only then should you "reward" her by giving her more and more of your attention through body posture and conversation.

Be relaxed and don't appear worried about the outcome of the conversation. You're a cool guy and this chick should be happy to get the chance to talk to you! Show that in your posture and mannerisms. Don't cling on her every word and affirm everything she says with a fast, constant nodding. Look away casually and slowly scan the room once in a while, as if you could leave at any time unless she captures your interest.

These are the basics, but it cannot be emphasized enough how important maintaining these simple tactics are in the allowing of and maintaining of attraction in your target. Again, you can say all the right things, but when it comes to approaching, body language speaks volumes louder than anything that comes out of your mouth.

Getting Back With Your Ex - Should You Try?

In can be difficult to cope with breaking up, especially if you had been together for a while and you had felt that you both were soul mates. You are probably also hearing everyone tell you to move on and get on with things, but that can be difficult if you still love your ex and feel that they might still love you too.

A friend of mine often said that an ex is an ex for a reason and that you shouldn't travel back down an old path, but this is often easier said than done, especially if you see other couples re-uniting over problems such as infidelity, lost passion or a stolen heart and go on to live happy lives together.

This begs the question: is getting back with your ex a good idea or should you accept the situation and find love somewhere else?

To decide on the answer you need to first determine the reasons that broke the two of you up. Relationships break down over hundreds of different reasons and not all of them can be mended. If you got back together and the reason that you broke up in the first place still existed then perhaps it is better to try a new relationship.

If you are willing to change or make an effort to fix your relationship problems (assuming of course that you need to - relationships are a two-way street) then it is possible that you could get back together and be happy together.

There is still a chance that you can both be happy together if you both still do love each other. Of course often it can be difficult to determine if your ex does still love you as you have both probably said hurtful things to each other, so this is where you should trust your instincts. Sometimes people say they they hate you or no longer love you just to hurt you and don't really mean it?

It's often a good idea to step back from the situation and try and look objectively at the way you both act around each other. If you don't trust your own instincts then it can be a good idea to ask the advice of a good friend who you trust because they are less emotionally involved in the situation.

The first steps that you take in trying to mend a broken relationship can be important in determining your success so it is important to try and keep a level head.

The Simple Truths About Falling and Living in Love

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:11:00 +0000

We are meant to live a life of love. When we're not in love, something's the matter. Unfortunately, most of us, unaware of this, become resigned to disappointment, loss and upset in relationships. No matter how successful we are in other aspects of our lives, many do not feel entitled to the same success in love. This is considered natural as one "grows up" and gives up the fantasies, foolishness and dreams of childhood. But nothing could be further from the truth. It is the fantasies, foolishness, and confused expectations we develop as we grow older that keep the love away.

Being in love is the most mature and realistic thing you can do. It energizes your life, fills you with positivity, creates generosity and makes every moment beautiful. The body heals, the heart is happy. As a great teacher once said, "We never ask the meaning of life when we are in love."

If being in love is our natural state the real question is, what is it that keeps this most precious inheritance away? How can we reclaim it and return to the intrinsic trust and joy we had as children?

Many fear they will be hurt. But contrary to popular opinion, real love never hurts or wounds. It is only our confused expectations that can undermine our lives. There is a Buddhist saying "Give up poisonous food wherever it is offered to you." But most of us do not know what is poison and what is nourishing in our relationships.

Once we know the difference between real and counterfeit love, once we learn the laws of love and how to practice them, we will be able to live a life of love and build relationships that cannot fail. The fact of the matter is that we can begin to do this and turn our lives around at any time.

To begin this process, let us look a little deeper. It always seems as if relationships are difficult-difficult to find, to keep and to enjoy. Yet the fundamental truth is that there is no inherent problem with relationships at all. There is never a scarcity of relationships, there is never a scarcity of love.

Some complain that they can't love because there is something wrong with the person they are with. No one can please or satisfy them. In the beginning they may feel as though they've found the perfect person, but before they know it, conflict develops, irritation grows. The joy of feeling loved and valued, fades away. Most people have no idea why. Ultimately, from the psychological point of view, not falling in love, is not so unusual. In fact, many can do very well, become quite healthy, and yet never get over their disappointments in love.

Spiritually speaking, there's a different point of view. Is a person's very life at stake if they aren't able to truly love? The answer is Yes. Without the ability to know real love, the precious taste of this life is thwarted, and a person may be doomed to living her days as a "Hungry Ghost." But we can change this at any moment. To begin we suspend judgment and disbelief, become willing to become a child once again - explore, play, hug, cry and feel that the world is filled with endless possibilities. We also must develop the ability to say No to all of the people, beliefs, habits and desires which can take our faith and love away.

We need to be willing to allow ourselves to look for and find that which is beautiful and worthwhile in everyone, (including ourselves). And, somehow, let them know. Falling in love doesn't mean being blind, or entering into fantasy. It means waking up out of darkened dreams to finally see the beauty which surrounds us. A little endurance is required, along with the willingness to face the shadows that will dispel as soon as we invite in the light.

During this holiday season, let's give it a try. It only takes a moment to do so, but the happiness lasts a long, long time.
