Relationships

Remember the guy who held your fingers as you learnt to stand and walk? He was the first guy to influence you. He was the one to teach you so many things all through your life. He was the guy who stood tall as a benchmark for all your comparisons. But over the years, somehow you have drifted apart, not knowing why or when.

Life has never been easy for women. The society expects you to follow its unwritten rules dictating love, marriage and reproduction. 1. Everyone has to get married. 2. You’ve got to marry within your community. 3. You must produce a crop of healthy kids within 2-3 years of marriage. You have to spend your life with your husband no matter how uninteresting, loveless, torturous or unhappy it may be.

Sarita has dated at least thirteen men in the last eight months. Her friends tell her she is too finicky and fickle to stick with a guy. She herself has a nagging fear that men find her unattractive and this is the reason why she can’t hold on to any relationship. The only serious relationship she had lasted for three months and was so full of tension that she was relieved when she finally cut the chord.

Do you feel you are sailing in the same boat as Sarita? Do you also find it difficult to stay in a relationship for more than a few weeks?

Rina has known Piyush since her college days. Mutual attraction brought them close and love followed. They have been living together for the last 19 months now. Rina seems to believe that they are ‘made for each other’. But then, why has Piyush not asked her to marry him? What is it that is still holding him back?

Its easier to get into a relationship than to get out of one. Most people mull over the issue for a long time before deciding to break up. You love someone, spend a lot of time together, and then want to quit. Can’t be easy on your partner, right?

But you’ve got to do things even though they may not always be easy. Nevertheless breaking up at the slightest reason or fight is not good idea either. So how do you know if it’s time to break up? There are some sure signs and some not so sure. Read on…

So you thought it was only the ladies who tried on twenty dresses before finalizing one? You got another think coming there, people! Men love to dress up as much as we do. And they also want to look their best when taking a girl out on a date. They are lousy at times about neatness and other stuff. But they tend to show this side of their personality after settling down in a relationship. For the first few dates (especially the very first date), they try to show themselves in the best possible light. And why shouldn’t they? It’s human nature yaar!

“Oh my God! Finally he’s plucked up enough courage to ask me out, and I have nothing to wear! Kya pehnu? Kuch samajh nahi aa raha. I want to look smart and feminine without looking cheap. I want his eyes to never leave me while we are together, but I have no clue about what I should wear.”

Advising people against online dating is passé. Online dating is here to stay and we’ve all got to accept that. So instead of grumbling on and on about the perils involved, why not learn how to make it more successful and enriching? I’m sure most singles agree here, right people?

Simply loving a person is not enough. Showing your love for him is equally important.

Just as you expect your guy to make you feel loved and cared for, he too needs to feel loved and cared for. So, make him feel loved and watch your investment of time and effort fetch unbelievable results for you!

Interestingly, while women love hearing the three sweet words again and again from the one they love, men expect it in a different form. It is ok if you don’t say “I love you” to him. Just show him that you love him by your actions:
