There comes a time in your life when, even if you enjoy being single, you meet the guy that makes your heart beat faster. There is no right or wrong time to fall in love – it just happens. And then, all you want is to be around him. But, what if he doesn’t seem to care? Is there anything you can do to get his attention? Is there any way to make him yours?

 

Eskimos have (at least) 24 different words for snow. We have as many words for women’s shoes! Athletic shoes, casual shoes, sandals, high heels, pumps, dress shoes, dance shoes, loafers, slippers, boots, sneakers, platform shoes, crocs. Are we that passionate about shoes?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t even count all the Saturday mornings I’ve spent trying to find shoes that cater to me perfectly. Last Saturday alone, I spent about 6 hours waltzing in and out of every shop in the mall, trying on hundreds of different pairs of shoes trying to find the right one for me. All I wanted is a pair of shoes that fit me, with the right quality and style, that doesn’t cost much… all I want is to find the shoes that are designed just for lil’ old me! Am I asking for too much…?

The very same night, I was hanging out with my -also single- girlfriends in a bar. It was one more night we spent drinking and talking while hoping to meet the perfect man. I’ve played this scene in my mind about a million times; the door suddenly opens, and the most handsome guy that just happens to be the One, walks to me, smiling, and buys me a drink.

While I was walking home alone later I couldn’t stop thinking: “Men are much like shoes.”

 

It’s a great mystery how we fall in love. You are never prepared for it. And one run-of-the-mill day, you meet him. Even though he is a perfect stranger, you suddenly feel that you know him, before a word has been spoken. All you want to do is sit next to him. They say that when you meet the One, time stops, and everything around you disappears except for him. I believe that you only feel it that way, when after a long time you recall the moment of your first encounter.

Yo, all of you asdf’ers! My name is Bleem and I’m a starving musician and poet! Even if you read my prose, I’ll still starve but I promise to die with a smile on my face… Here is my first contribution ever on the web, called “The Search”. I hope you enjoy it and if you’d like, let me know what you think it is about (the answer may surprise you…)

Alone this Christmas? Time to take advantage of it!You don’t have to worry; there are plenty things to do, and of course, many places to visit!

I still remember: when I was young, I hid under my bed on Christmas, waiting for Santa Claus to bring his presents! I usually fell asleep at night, but in the morning, the glass of milk I used to leave was always empty, and no cookies were left on the table – I was sure that Santa had come by! Running towards the glowing boxes of presents, every time something awesome was there wrapped up! I still remember one year… I was sure that I saw Santa leaving his presents under the tree!

After a few years, I realized that it was a nice fairy tale that all parents told their kids, and always smiled about it.

A Turkish Proverb that says: “No road is long with good company.” When you are in a long-lasting relationship and every time you have to say goodbye seems hard, the key word for making love stay is to spend more time with your spouse, rather than at work, and start having fun together.

Although there are many things you can do if you decide to stay indoors, there are many more ways to have fun if you decide to go out. Because, even if you are not the outdoors type, sometimes you just need to go out.

“I’m always looking for meaningful one-night stands.”(Dudley Moore). If you are looking for one-night stands that are fun and not going to lead to a relationship, here are the rules you must follow:

Kinda makes you think. I’ve been worried sick about bills for the past few weeks. Renting house, credit cards, unpaid loans, cell phone bills. How our Christmas bonus is going all to bills, and still, no cash left for just about anything.

“When you are in a relationship and it’s good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.”

But, when you find that man worth crying for, the one that will leave “footprints on your heart”, is there any way to make your relationship last as long as possible?

Besides love, some of the best relationships are also based on friendship. It’s wonderful to also be friends with your spouse. One way to achieve that is to have fun together! Here are some things you can do to have fun with your boyfriend in case you live together or you have invited him to spend the night at your place.
