How To Get A Boyfriend

2006-01-05T02:03:00.000-08:00

Boys are very complicated... and they do not just want to be used as fashion statements. So if you want a boyfriend, make sure that you like him and willing to be in a serious commitment with him, or at least you feel you may be if you get to know him better, and won't break his heart.

Some ways to get your man by your side.

First, if you do not already know him, then introduce yourself. If he is interested in you enough to want to get to know you better himself, he will add in some conversation eventually.Show him interest in his life in any way you can…….. (Now does it ring a bell???) And..Do not use him...but it’s up to you ladies!!!!! boys may be bad about using girls, but they can still be weak around an irrisistable girl even if they are not interested in her, which means breaking your heart and merely adding on his horrible guilt, or having a stalker who wants you for the WRONG reasons. So do not parade yourself around boys too much, for both your own good and their own good.

Life can easily become a grind. Due to many reasons if you have to live alone & play the role by own with you child, how would it be?????

If being a mother is hard, being a single parent is infinitely more challenging for sure. As a single mother, her ardently hope is that her child / children will grow up to be emotionally stable. Although her child / children were small kids at the time they got speared. A single mother has the onerous task of banishing the old demons & making her child / children feel secure.
But, “even when you are separated you tend to have arguments with each other” This affects the children for they are pilled in different directions. This is the usual case which you & I see, isn’t it?

Being a single parent is not easy especially in the case of a woman. She has to be a mother, father, sister & the friend to her child. Besides that, she also has to perform the basic male functions like servicing the car, driving the kids around day or night, dealing with the bills and most importantly staying away from the FRUSTRATED MEN!!
Sometimes single mothers do a much better job than most parents.

Curl Power

2005-12-29T20:48:00.000-08:00

Make waves with your curly locks. Do you have curls???
Is your hair a little bit too bouncy? If it’s really unmanageable get your hair stylist to thin it with soft, graduate layers at the bottom.

Girls with curls tend to be rough on their locks. To avoid knots use a detangling spray. When wet, comb your hair with a wide- toothed comb.

This will help in two ways.
1) The detangling spray will help condition the hair & guard it from knotting.
2) Combing it when wet will encourage your curls to remain bouncy.

If you want to dance all night with you curls on your hair, use good conditioner on wet hair. It will allow the curls to bounce more while you bounce on the dancing floor.

Say to yourself, “The fact that my spouse is not ideal is not the end of me or my life. I am “me” & I live for my self, but this does not signify selfishness. It is just the beginning of self-awareness & selflessness.
I can live for others, only if I live. My identity is broad & encompassing & not limited to being a wife only or a fiancée. I am free to breath, think, live & cherish my independence. I will have to be strong, clear & understanding” Be brave & go for it!!
Being today to reinvent yourself.

Work With Yourself.

2005-12-29T20:01:00.000-08:00

If you decide to work on the marriage, take time, but also understand that time will run out. You need to make a beginning. Think objectively & without bias & take a sleep forward to make the marriage better for you. The decision has to be yours.

During this process, try to derive inspiration from happenings around you, from stories we have heard, the quote we have read. Assimilate your small strengths!! Analyze your attitude!!!
You need to be completely aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, your levels of tolerance. In the event of not being able to match your spouse… in one or many spheres…. Introspection is the prime requisite. But having gone through the entire gamut of introspection, self-analysis, discussion with the spouse, counseling & the whole rigmarole, if you are still where you have been, then go back to yourself all over again.

But this time, to seek out happiness for you, to love yourself & to live happily with yourself.
Your knowledge of self will be the first step in the direction of happiness through alternatives.
