How to Introduce an Ethnically Different Partner to Your Family

2011-08-24T07:51:00.000-07:00

Introducing a serious boyfriend/girlfriend to your parents and other family members is nerve-racking on its own, but add a different race, religion, or culture into the mix and you’ve got a potential meltdown on your hands. If you and your partner are not properly prepared you’ll be walking into a potentially cold or even worse outright hostile and abusive situation. What then are some smart ways to go about making those introductions?

Steps:

Prepare with your partner. Be an educator who emphasizes the fun, joy, great childhood memories and/or spiritual fulfillment your own traditions and background have given you. Encourage your partner to do the same with you. This will put the two of you into an inclusive stance, rather than a mine vs. yours stance. Practice role- playing various scenarios and rehearse handling certain people. Consider this a job interview: in fact it’s easily as important. By preparing together, you’ll be able to team more effectively when relating to both families.

Prepare your family in advance of the meet. Tell your family all the good news about your partner before they meet: how great you two are as a couple, how successful he or she is, how your closest friends have seen the positive changes in you and how good you feel when you’re together. You should also talk about your partner’s heritage and culture in a positive way with your family. Even if your family responds with judgments and resistance, it’s best to stay firmly positive and not to get into a debate with a belief that it will all work out in the end.

Learn as much about each other’s customs as possible. This demonstrates respect. That way, when you do meet in person, you can show genuine interest and knowledge, make appreciative statements and follow their customs as best you can. Show that you are flexible and can fit in, at least in part.

At the first meeting hold a win-win vision. In a win-win coming together there is acknowledgments that both heritages and backgrounds are great and offer unique, interesting or fun ways to relate as a family or celebrate holidays or build a relationship with God. If your partner’s family does not act in an inclusive way, don’t turn your back on them. Practice being a gracious and inclusive person around them. Remember to always be the change that you want to see in others.

Know how to handle a culturally insensitive or inappropriate incident. For example, at a family gathering your boyfriend’s uncle makes a crass joke about your religion. Or at your family’s function, one of your brothers makes a rude comment about spicy Indian food—and your fiance is Indian.

Be prepared to side with you partner where needed. It is important for you to step in and protect your partner. Counter a rude statement with a positive statement about your partner’s culture, food or religion. Ask your partner to do the same for you if there’s a problem in his/her family. In the above example, your comeback statement might me, “The lassi may not taste good to you, but it has yogurt in it and is very healthy for you.” Later take your relative aside and tell him/her that your partner is wonderful and you would like his/her help in making the newcomer feel welcomed by the family. Ask them not to make judgmental or inappropriate remarks again.

Use positive shaping during follow-up conversations. Positive Shaping Talk is a highly effective relationship skill. It’s a way of communicating in which you ignore the negative actions and comments that others make and instead, help them focus on the positives. Specifically, you accent the positives that turn a difficult situation into a win-win-win for you, your significant other and for your family. So in your follow-up conversations with family members, clearly and lovingly ask for what you want and need that will foster a coming together. For example, you can say, “I’d really love it if you would talk about what you appreciate about my boyfriend’s work ethic.” Or with your partner use positive shaping to help him/her get over a slight or cutting remark. You say, “Honey, I would love it if you could ignore my mother’s crazy remarks and just focus on how she spent hours cooking your favorite dish.”

Honor and respect the mix of cultures in a blended couple during the holidays. If you meet family during the holidays, make it a point to celebrate and/or honor both traditions when you’re alone, even if only one will predominate. For example, read a book together about Kwanza, even though most of the holiday festivities revolve around Christmas. If your family is open to it, you could even talk about the other religion or tradition as a way of being more inclusive.

Tips:

As you can see, preparation is the key to handling difficult introductions. And preparing as a team is important practice for the longer journey that is a lasting relationship.

What Men Want From Women

2011-08-15T14:09:00.000-07:00

What men want from women is simple once you know the secrets to understanding men. It will all become crystal clear to you.

It is popular belief that men are attracted to your physical appearance more than anything else. While being attractive and taking good care of yourself is important, it is not the most important, and it is not what men really want.

What do men want from women? It is your MIND. When a man falls in love with your mind, he is falling in love with who you truly are. This takes him deeper into who you are, and only then will he find your heart and fall in love with you.

How do you get a man to fall in love with your mind? You have to show it to him by being who you really are, so he can know your mind an think it's great. You have to share your opinions, thoughts, dreams and insights. The things you say must be genuine of who you are and how you feel. When you do this, the right man will be infatuated by your mind. You will become best friends, and he will want to spend his life with you.

In order for a man to fall in love with your mind, you must never compromise your values or alter your opinion. If he really loves you, he will love the way your mind works, even when he disagrees with you. If you make him uncomfortable that is okay. Your job is not to make him feel comfortable, it is about being true to yourself and not hiding your true feelings and opinions from him. How is he supposed to get to know you if you are not truthful with yourself?

You should talk about whatever you want to talk about. You should show him your mind; he will love you for who you are. When you show him your mind, he will love and respect you. If he doesn't like who you are and how your mind works, then he is wrong for you, and you are wasting your time with him.

When he falls in love with your mind, you will know what it feels like for a man to love you for who you are, and there is a sense of freedom in that. No one has a mind like yours, let him love it. You deserve to have a man who loves your mind.

How to Attract and Keep a Good Man

2011-08-03T12:41:00.000-07:00

Scenario: You're fantastic woman with high self-esteem and a lot to offer a man. Your friends and family constantly remind you of how great you are, and frequently assure you that someday you'll find "the one." But after several weeks, months or even years on the dating scene, you just can't seem to find a man who meets your standards. If you desire a long-term relationship that could lead to marriage, it's time to do some self-evaulation. Follow these steps on how to attract and keep a good man.

Steps:

Make a list of your personal weaknesses. This is a difficult yet crucial first step. It's more natural for a beautiful, talented, successful woman celebrate her good traits. Challenge yourself by writing down the less desirable aspects of your personality, behavior, habits, etc. If you need help ask a good friend or ex-boyfriend. This will help you gain better perspective on how you should perceive the world and how potential mates are really perceiving you.

Take inventory on how these weaknesses have played a role in past disappointments. You'll probably be tempted to disagree with someone's opinion of you, but try to put yourself in that person's shoes and attempt to familiarize yourself with other people's realities.

Upon meeting a potential mate, find out the so-called "deal breakers" up front. Deal breakers are defined as anything you absolutely cannot live with. In your initial conversation, you should ask his relationship status, job and living situation and whether he has children. Make no exceptions for what you know in your heart you cannot handle forever. He deserves a woman who is willing and able to be compatible with his lifestyle.

When you are dating, leave a little mystery but do not play hard to get. Be mysterious by learning when to speak and how to listen. Don't ramble on inappropriately, as if your good looks will make up for diarrhea of the mouth. Focus on what the other person is saying, instead of what impression you are giving. This is not about celebrating your awesomeness. It's about getting to know whether this person is right for you.

Once a steady relationship is established, listen to your gut. Be aware of red flags or warning signs, but do not react solely on the insecurities of your own past experience. Make sure the problem doesn't stem from previous disappointments seeping back into your psyche.

Know when to move on if necessary. Don't waste time with a hopeless cause. And don't become a relationship martyr. If he's unavailable, unpredictable or untrustworthy, move on. Period.

Find satisfaction in your relationship. Remain humble and thankful. Have mercy on your partner. Don't live in a world of ideals. Instead, live in a world of what is. Ask yourself, "Can I be happy with him as he is right this moment and not who I hope he will be in the future?" If the answer is yes, then you're good to go.

Tips:

Finding and maintaining a healthy and happy relationship can be a humbling experience. Especially for an independent woman who seemingly has it all. You shouldn't have to dim your light to satisfy a man, but do keep life in perspective and understand that a relationship is about balancing give and take and ultimately deciding to accept a mate as they are.

Warnings:

If you are unwilling to humble yourself, recognize your faults or accept a mate as he is, you will not be ultimately satisfied. Sometimes you're the one who needs fixing, not him.

How to Write a Good Online Dating Profile

2011-08-03T10:56:00.000-07:00

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Your online personal ad is what makes most people decide whether to contact you or not. Getting right and your internet dating experience will most likely be a great and happy one. Get it wrong and it could be very frustrating. It is therefore important that you learn how to write a good online dating profile.

Steps

Know what you want: This may seem easy, but ask most people why they are in online dating they will only tell you "to find a date". Being more specific will not only help you find the right dating site for you, but also make your dating profile come alive. List down what you want from the type of relationship (short term, long term or marriage), age, gender, sexual orientation. Include also, things like whether you want (or have) children.
Create a list of must haves, good to have and no-nos. Must haves are things that you can't do without. These could be passions or hobbies as well as other interests. Remember the movie "Must Love Dogs"? The title is based on a must have that was posted on a popular dating site. Good to have means just that; things your potential mate might have that you like, but could do without. The no-nos are things you can't stand or will not tolerate.
Make a list of things that make you... well, you. What makes you unique? This will help create more "fodder" for your dating profile.
Brainstorm a catchy screen name: Your screen name, also known as your handle, should be concise and easy to remember. Don't be just another "Sexygirl26" or "workingstud35". Make it meaningful. Let it say something unique about you. Try including things you like to do, what you looking for, or some activity you participate in.
Post a good photograph: The first thing that people see in your dating profile is your photo. Profiles with photographs get many more responses than those that don't. The picture should show the best of you without being pretentious. It also should show you as you look like today. And by all means, smile.
Start with a good, attention-grabbing headline: Most dating sites usually provide a box for a 100 character (typically) headline. This is perhaps the second most important aspect of your online dating profile, after your picture. It is what makes prospects decide whether or not to read the rest of your profile. Treat this the same way as your screen name. It should be meaningful and give a hint of who you are or what you want (of course, without revealing too much personal information). You could study headlines that attract your attention in your chosen dating site(s) and emulate these without directly copying them.
Be positive: The saying that "misery loves company" does not apply here. Be positive about yourself and others. Avoid saying things like "no losers please".
Be honest: If you lie, it will catch up with you somewhere down the road. You want someone who will accept you for who you are, not who you wish you were.
Start writing your profile based on your notes. Most people make the mistake of writing their profile right there on the dating site. Don't do this. Draft it on a separate piece of paper or on your favorite word processing program (such as Word, Word Perfect, Word Pad etc.). Write as fast as you can without hurrying. The objective here is to get your words down. Don't pay attention to spelling or grammar at this stage. And do write like you speak. Imagine your ideal "date" seating right there in front of you, and tell her/him what you want and why you are the best choice for her/him.
Polish: Save your profile for at least a day, and then come back and edit. Correct any grammatical and spelling errors. You can add anything you think might make the profile better or remove anything that seems needless.
Post it: Now all you have to do is post your online dating profile. You may need to edit it farther to fit a particular dating site, but the hard work is already done.

Tips

The best dating profile will not serve much purpose if posted on the wrong site. This is why you should know the type of relationship you want. Basically, there are three types of dating sites; general dating sites, matchmaking sites and specialty dating sites.
In order for your online dating profile to truly come alive, you should strive to make yours not just specific, but make your specifics more specific. For example saying that you love James Bond movies may be specific, but adding which Bond movie one is your favorite and why is more specific. This also helps give your prospect something to say when responding.
Though your personal ad (another name for your profile) should "sell" you and cast you in the best light possible, you should avoid the appearance of bragging. If you're really good at something and think it might help your personal ad, attempt to present it in a neutral way. If you are good at playing the piano, for instance, you can say something like "my friends say I'm really at good the piano and love to hear me play".
Though you should list the things you want in a partner, avoid making it appear like a laundry list. And keep in mind that no one person will satisfy all your wants. Be flexible.
Here's an example of a near-perfect W4M ad: http://www.jetcityorange.com/dating/best-W4M-ever.html
Avoid clichés: Using clichés is not always a bad thing, but do avoid the overused ones.
Use capital letters and exclamation marks sparingly.
Have fun.

Warnings

You might be tempted to go for free dating sites. Free sites largely lack oversight, have less features and are favorites for creeps. Unless your budget really doesn't allow it, go for a reputable paid site especially if you're serious about finding a soul mate. Nothing proves seriousness better than committing a few dollars to finding a partner.
Do not give out your personal information such as real name, address, place of work, or even favorite hangouts until you're ready to reveal more to the right person.
Do not use your regular email for online dating purposes. Most dating sites provide an email address for this purpose. You also can open up a new address for this purpose through one of the free email providers. Be careful if your dating service forwards emails to your regular email as replying could give away your main email address.

Things You'll Need

Access to a computer with internet access. A laptop, cell phone or other similar device with an internet connection will also do.
At least three recent photographs of yourself. One should be a head-shot to be used as your main profile picture. Others can show other aspects of your life (such as hobbies).
Your lists of must haves, good to have, and no-nos.
A positive attitude.

How Can You Tell if a Guy is Interested in You?

2010-03-12T12:49:00.000-08:00

What exactly are the signs that a guy is interested? I mean, guys frequently give off mixed signals which can be confusing. Possibly you noticed him as you were standing and chatting with a girlfriend. It appeared that he saw you, but maybe it was simply wishful thinking on your part. He checked out you at about the same time you saw him. You had eye contact briefly after which you suddenly glanced away. Was he watching you as you mingled?

Here's several signs that you may look for to determine if he is interested or not:

If he tells a mutual acquaintance that he really wants to know more about you, or he asks others who you are. He's trying to play like he's "just asking" but his questions imply much more than a casual curiosity. Plus at what time he tells someone that he finds you good-looking, he probably is aware that it will get back to you. He is hopeful it does.

Once he manages to get near enough to you, to ask you questions, he's paying notice. He appears to be listening and reacts to what you say. He's moving in to the critical question, which may be: "Are you seeing anybody." He would only ask this question if he wanted to go out with you, and he hopes the reply is "No."

He likes you a lot if he shows up out of nowhere. He can only do that if he has been asking individuals about your schedule, or he may well have been being attentive to where you are going and at what time. His face probably will turn red as soon as he sees you. A swift, "Oh, hi," is his way of communicating , "I don't want to seem clear, but I'm thinking about you." If you feel the same way, you mustn't play-act shy. Pause and talk to him.

You may wonder if you're desirable enough for him. Perhaps you aren’t where you want to be in life, and you do not care for him to be aware of that. There is no time like the present to get your poop in a group. If you aren't proud of your occupation, look for another one. If you're are not proud of the way your body looks, join a gym. All guys hanker after a girl that takes excellent care of herself. We are all born with individual talent, maybe now could be the time for you to discover yours.

These are examples of the signs that a guy is interested and he's on the border of asking you out. Insure that it is relaxing for him and be congenial. Believe it or not, it can be actually tough for a guy to muster up the courage to ask you out. He will like you even more if you are making it easy for him. You never know if he could be the one or not.

How Some Women Attract Men Like a Magnet

2010-03-01T09:02:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered why a quantity of women seem to attract men like a magnet? The funny thing is, they are not especially that good-looking, nor do they have the best shape, on the other hand, it seems like men fall head over hills in love with them. All women were born with the gift to be a magnet for men, however, some of have not figured out how to utilize that ability yet. It seems so complex, but once you realize the mystery to it, it is simple.

Being a female, do you know that the way you carry yourself upon entering a room can articulate volumes about your self-confidence? Do you scuffle in without making eye contact, in hopes that nobody pays attention to you? Or, do you walk in confidently, glowing at those close to you?

Most males can spot a restless, insecure girl a mile away and will keep away from her at all costs. Contrary to popular belief, guys do want to discover that unique someone to settle down with. Nevertheless, it really is essential that she be a joyful , well-balanced human being. And, despite the fact that a female may think she's presenting her perfect nature - essentially, she could possibly be silently sending depressing body indicators that guys clue in on at once.

If you are a positive female, there is a possibility that your self-confidence may be sending quiet signals to men that say, “Don’t come too close, I don’t want a man.” What many women panic about is being interpreted by guys as being “needy.” And in an attempt NOT to come across this way, it really is rather normal for them to present an self-sufficient side. Let me inform you a surprise concerning what males actually want in a woman. Each man wants a self-confident woman, who is eager to allow a man influence her.

A woman who doesn’t display any susceptibility until she gets to know a guy is in-deliberately giving men the impression that she is stronger, tougher plus much more self-sufficient than she really is deep down in her heart.

You are in all probability scratching your head now and saying to yourself, “Why does it need to be so tricky to get a good man out there?” Furthermore, “Why can’t men just accept me for who I am?”

If this seems irritating, wouldn’t it be nice to know precisely how to attract the man who's your perfect soul mate? Is there a way to know what that special quality or temperament trait is that some women possess that draws men to them like a magnet? Of course there is, and it’s obtainable now

Why Do Some Women Always Date Losers?

2010-01-14T05:47:00.000-08:00

Do you know of someone who has a pattern of always dating losers, bad boys, who always break their heart and leave them crying? For those women, oftentimes they need help in identifying the signs of such unreliable men.

Let’s define a loser as a man who is totally into himself and has little empathy for a woman’s needs. He is a man who has a pattern of sweet talking women in an attempt to sweep them off their feet and into the nearest bed. He will wine you and dine you and tell you how beautiful you are and how lucky he is to have met you. These men are very good at what they do because they’ve had a lot of practice!

These men are wonderful in the beginning of a relationship; however, in time they most always become less attached and more distant to their partner. Some never call back, others break dates and some even “forget” their wallet and their date ends up paying for the meal.

Have you ever met or dated a man such as this? Perhaps he never said he loved you, and whenever you spoke about commitment, he would change the subject.

The truth is that no woman ever wakes up in the morning and says to herself, “Today I need to find a man who will hurt me.” Rather what most often happens is that many women (and men) tend to confuse intensity with reliability. They meet someone who makes them FEEL wonderful or excited and they assume that he is a good man. The problem isn’t that their feelings are wrong. What gets them into trouble is that their intense feelings often cause them to ignore bad or inconsistent behavior that they would clearly see if they were not so emotionally involved.

What if there was a way to effortlessly attract men that were both exciting as well as dependable? Not simply a technique, but a manual that showed how successful women captivate men in such a way that they never get mistreated.

What if information was available to transform you into the woman that men adore? Thankfully such information is available and it’s just one click away. “The Woman Men Adore…and Never Want to Leave,” shows every woman the secrets to attract and keep the man of her dreams.

When it Comes to Men, Some Women Have It...and You Can Too!

2009-11-18T09:06:00.000-08:00

by Bob Grant, L.P.C. author of “The Woman Men Adore”

Every day in my counseling office, I hear women say some variation of this:

“In the last few years, I have had relationships with men who, at first, seemed perfect for me. They were attentive, attractive and fun to be around. Then suddenly, as if they knew they had reeled me in, they stopped trying. They stopped calling as much, stopped taking me out and basically stopped the romantic dance that couples do when they are falling in love. Was it me? After all, I think I’m attractive, have a good personality and I work out to keep my body in nice shape. So why then, do I always end up with the men who become “couch potatoes” at my house? The men who would rather bring a six pack over and watch football all day and then expect me to fix dinner? Do I suddenly turn into just a “buddy” to them, the girl next door?

I see other women who, frankly, are not as attractive as I am or as thin as I am, who seem to get the “hot” men. I don’t necessarily mean gorgeous men, but the men who take them to nice restaurants, bring them flowers, take them dancing and, basically, “court” them. What secrets do they know that I don’t, because they certainly aren’t sharing them?”

Most women think a wonderful relationship is simply about finding the right man. The truth is that those women who have wonderful relationships didn’t necessarily know where to find good men, instead they attracted them. Would you like to learn how to attract and keep a wonderful man? The best way to find out probably isn’t by talking to a woman; instead, a man would be able to give you the secrets to a man’s heart.

I’d like to share with you the secrets that men find irresistible and powerless to resist. The dirty little secret is that having a perfect body isn’t nearly as important as you have been led to believe. You can discover this incredible information by simply clicking here.

“If Only I Could Understand Men….”

2009-11-16T08:38:00.000-08:00

Men always say they can’t understand women, and that women are so complicated. Well, for many women, it is the exact opposite. Most would give anything to understand what makes men “tick.” Even though women want to know what he’s thinking, men are often reluctant to share what is in their hearts. What’s a woman to do?

Rather than describe all the differences between the sexes, it is often more helpful to focus on a few areas that any woman can understand.

1) Men are more sensitive than women. While that might sound silly, the truth is that men don’t have the ability to recover from emotional trauma as effectively as a woman. Because of this, men keep themselves from getting too upset. When a man hears he should just “let his feelings out,” what he translates that into is this, “If I let my feelings out, I might not be able to control them.”

2) Men hate fighting. For men, conflict is not simply resolving a problem. Fighting, to a man, means one has to win and the other needs to be totally defeated. Men often prefer conflict that is non-emotional because it is less threatening to them. Once a conflict becomes emotionally charged, it is very difficult for a man to contain those feelings and the most frequent coping skill is for them to become quiet. It may seem like they are punishing you, but they are most likely trying not to lose control.

3) Men want to get married. In spite of what many progressive cultures preach, the truth is that a majority of men in the world do get married. While the freedom of being single has its appeal, it comes with one primary drawback – it is lonely. While this might not sound overly romantic, finding a woman that a man can trust is just as important as finding one who is beautiful.

What Am I Doing Wrong?

2009-11-14T07:26:00.000-08:00

Have you ever said this to yourself, "It seems I can't do anything right with men."
Being a responsible person, you work hard at a fulfilling and sometimes demanding job. It's not that you don't try to be kind, gracious and patient, but none of that seems to be getting you anywhere. Perhaps the men you date don't seem to appreciate you or if you're married it might seem as though your husband seems less interested in your marriage than he did not so long ago.

You're open to advice, but where should you turn?

If you can relate to this, there is good news. A wonderful book called, "The Woman Men Adore, and Never Want to Leave," will show you exactly the characteristics that men find irresistible in a woman. The good news is that these are things that ANY woman can apply. But there is one word of warning. These insights are powerful and might seem unconventional to a woman because they were designed by a man, to affect men. Please remember this rule: What works with women does not work with men.

Many women have come to this realization when they say these things, "The more I try to please him, the more distant he seems to become."

"When I ask him what's wrong, he says nothing."

If you're a woman who feels frustrated in her relationships, there is good news. You don't have to try harder, you simply need to know WHAT to try. What you need is a blueprint of what men find captivating in a woman and most likely did in you, as well. "The Woman Men Adore, and Never Want to Leave," is a bestselling e-book that shows women exactly how to attract AND keep a man. This information can be yours simply by Clicking Here

How to Captivate a Man

What Are the Secrets of the Women Men Adore? How to Be Irresistible to Your Man

2009-11-12T06:47:00.000-08:00

Most of us know at least one woman who seems to have men falling at her feet. The funny thing is that she's not always the most attractive, or the sweetest, and yet, men seem to swarm to her like bees do to honey. If you know a woman like this you've probably wondered what her secret is. What is it about her that makes men long to be with her? The fact of the matter is that any woman can have this affect on men. You can also be one of the women men adore if you simply understand how to relate to a man to make him weak in the knees.

One of the well kept secrets of the women men adore focuses on how you make the man in your life feel. Naturally if you are in love with a man you will do everything in your power to ensure he knows how much you care for him. Obviously that's important if you want to develop an emotional bond between you two. However, most women don't realize that men fall deeply in love with women who make them like themselves more. If you can make a man feel better about himself when he's around you, he'll be yours forever. This is easy to accomplish and can be done by making him feel valued and appreciated. Ask him to help you with things, ask his opinion on things and focus on those qualities about him that you love the most. If you do that, he'll start to love the way he feels when he's around you.

Another thing that the women men adore realize and implement in their relationships is independence. As much as men love women who need them, they also adore women who are capable of doing things on their own. Your man wants you to succeed and flourish without him. Show him that you can handle things and that you are in control of your own life. If you can do this, he'll be hooked. Men find self sufficient women completely irresistible. Show him that you love him but you can take care of yourself. It will make him want to take care of you even more.

Is Fear Keeping You From True Love

2009-01-07T09:32:00.000-08:00

Do you know couples that married their high school sweetheart and are more in love today than they were when they first met? Doesn't it make you wonder what they have that you don't? Do they have some secret ingredient that you were not born with?

I have come to the conclusion that they knew how to love with all their heart at a very young age, and they were not afraid.

Most everyone has some kind of fear in his or her life; however, we are just going to mention a few here. You could be suffering from the fear of getting hurt, fear of losing love, fear of emotional pain, fear of making a mistake. In most cases you are not afraid of love, you are afraid of losing love

Fear keeps us from doing so many things, and the problem is, either we don’t recognize it, or choose to ignore it.

Where does fear come from? It comes from your past, mainly your childhood. When you were young and you loved and that love was not returned, you started building this wall around your heart in hopes that this wall would protect you from being hurt the next time.

Do you notice yourself sabotaging what could be a great relationship with a suitable partner before the relationship really gets interesting? Maybe you hide from love or reject love.

How do you respond when someone pays you a compliment? Do you say "thank you" or do you try to discredit what the person says? Are you your own worse critic? When someone shows you an act of kindness do you think they want something from you?

These are all signs of fear, and you are pushing love out of your life. You may not even realize it. It order to receive true love, you must break through your emotional walls and be able to give true love as well as receiving it. You will never be able to experience true love if you do not allow people to see who you really are on the inside, and what you needs are.

2008-12-02T07:46:00.000-08:00

When I got to the testimonials I thought that maybe I have been to harsh on ole Bob.

Check this out:

"Thank you so much!!!! I really enjoyed reading your book. I have been separated for 7 months from a very angry man. We were married for 12 years. I really want to do it better this time. I was searching for answers on how to do it the right way and you have given me the answers in your book. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. God Bless you..." -Yvonne

"When I found myself single again after being divorced in 1999, I dove into a series of relationships with men that started out strong, but eventually fizzled out. I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I've read dozens of relationship books, but this is the first one that really made me understand men -- and use that understanding to create and sustain a loving relationship, and become a woman that a man loves, cherishes, and never want to part with.

"Armed with your guidance and insight, this is all so much better and less painful than in the past. Thank you so much for what you wrote- it has boosted my confidence so much." -Julie

"I wanted to thank you for writing such an enlightening book. I've just finished reading it last night and have been using all of the methods. I feel so much more comfortable in my relationship now and am not constantly thinking of breaking up with him. I'm almost as relaxed as I was in the beginning." -Lisette

I only wish I had known about Bob's proven method years ago. I could have had less heartaches and more fulfilling and enduring relationships. And I might have saved my marriage as well. This book is mandatory reading for all women!" -- Maria V., Beverly Hills, California

2008-12-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

This is taken directly from Bob's site, and this is what he says about himself.

Who Am I -- and Why Should You Believe Me?

My name is Bob Grant. I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor, therapist, and relationship coach for 16 years. The majority of my clients are women, who have sought my help in creating successful, satisfying, and fulfilling love relationships by simply understanding men.

More than the certificates and licenses I've accumulated over the years, I take most pride in the number of wedding invitations I receive from my clients who've found successful, healthy relationships as a result of my relationship advice and tips. I've also saved dozens of marriages from disaster, dissolution -- and just plain boredom.

That's why I'm called "The Relationship Doctor." I have the prescription for finding love, keeping passion alive, and reigniting relationships that have lost their spark.

The method I'm about to reveal to you is not based on theory, guesswork or the "psycho-babble" that's disseminated by pop psychologists, self-help books and women's magazines. Unlike other resources that claim to help you understand men, my strategy is based on real-life feedback from thousands of real-life women who tried my relationship advice and found that it produced a dramatic difference in their relationships with me

Bob Grant, The Relationship Doctor, Ha!

Here is picture of Bob Grant. He doesn't look that smart does he? He is kinda cute though!

Who Is This Joker Bob Grant

2008-12-02T06:37:00.001-08:00

The e book that is very popular online is "The Women That Men Adore" and is is really worth the price and can it really do what it says?

Bob Grant is the author of this e book and he has helped thousands of women explode their self confidence so that they are able to charm any man they please. The price of this e book is $39.95.

My first thought was, why is a man writing this e book? What makes him so darn special, and how smart is he? Shouldn't it be a woman who has figured this out? Besides, wouldn't a woman be able to understand what you feel better than a man? Makes logical sense to me.

If that is the way you feel, I totally understand how you feel because that is exactly the way I felt until I found out who Bob Grant is and where his expertise lies.

Who is this joker, Bob Grant that calls himself "The Relationship Doctor." I thought that sounded a tad bit on the corny side.

When you meet someone you really like, it is important to know the characteristics of a good man, so that you can quickly identify them, and not waste time on the wrong person.

The first thing that you should look for is integrity and character. These are traits that are essential in a lifelong partner.

Characteristics of a good man will tell you what he stands for, the values he lives by, and the morals that shape his behavior. This determines how he treats you and how he treats himself. His personality is important, however, do not mistake his personality with his character. His personality is the way he presents himself to the world, the way he expresses himself on the outside. His character is what he is on the inside, his substance.

In order to know how to recognize characteristics of a good man, you have to get to know him and had serious conversations with him, and this comes with time.

If you find a man who is committed to growing and improving himself as a person, that he wants to learn everything he can about being a better person, this is a characteristic of a good man.

If he is open emotionally and open with his feelings and he expresses those feelings to you. You should feel that the door to his heart is open.

Is he mature and responsible? This means that he has grown up and does not act like a child, and expecting you to take care of him. Being responsible means he does what he says he is going to do. He keeps his promises and shows up on time.

Does he have a positive attitude toward life? Does he see good in the world in you and himself? He should make you feel good when you are with him. Steer clear of the man who is a negative person who is always complaining. This type of person will drain all your energy and bring you down.

Does he have a high self-esteem? Does he feel good about who he is and how he lives his life, and takes care of himself? A man can only love you if he loves himself. He does not allow other people to mistreat him or you.

Does he have integrity? Can you count on him to be truthful with you at all times? Is he honest with himself and you? Honesty and integrity are crucial for a long term relationship to last. You want to respect the way he treats other people.

In order for you to know the characteristics of a good man, you need to possess these same qualities. It is important to love a man not only for exterior appearance but for who he is on the inside as well
