The other day I found myself 'inadvertently' eavesdropping on the conversation of some two young men. They were talking about Aids, sex and marriage.

We can so easily judge ourselves, and our lovers, against some ideal. This usually relates back to our judgments on our parents. They are the key. If you can’t love your parents, you will not find love for yourself or your loved one.

One of the most powerful ways you can show someone that you care about him or her is to do something for the other person, even when you don't want to.

Having the wedding of your dreams doesn’t have to be frustrating and stressful. One of the biggest decisions you will make will be the wedding flowers.

Some of the reasons why people form a relationship are: physical attraction and sex, glory by association, to avoid loneliness. There are some very vital points to consider before entering into a relationship: health, social, financial and legal obligations of the other person are some of them.

Throughout my years of dating and relationships I have developed a keen sense of intuition when dealing with the opposite sex. Sometimes my approach to a situation may come across as intimidating to men but it serves to weed out the runts!

Have you ever noticed how enthusiasm and affection between two people can dwindle as time goes on? Whether it’s a romance, friendship, or work relationship, sometimes the air goes right out of your sails, seemingly for no reason.

How many times this week only, you had an encounter with someone who either pushed your buttons or you simply didn’t like, meaning, the chemistry wasn’t there? It happens often. We hate the guts of this or that person, or we think that there is something wrong with them. Somehow we become absolutely critical and thus create an inaccurate and biased image of someone and nothing that person does is quite all right.
