Kiss
Just think of being in front of a warm cracking with you partner in your hands, with a kiss and a cuddle. But have you ever thought about why people kiss? It could be a greeting or a sign of affection, but we all kiss.

Invitation
All of us occasionally receive social invitations that we don’t want to accept.
How do we handle turning down these invitations without hurting or insulting the person who invited us?
If you are turning down an invitation, first be very clear in your own mind whether you are turning down the particular event, the person who issued the invitation, or both.

Intimacy
Wendy started counseling with me because Terence, her husband of 14 years, had just expressed to her that he wanted to end their relationship. Wendy, terrified of being alone, was panicked.

A few years ago a surprising survey discovered that people who spent a lot of time on the Internet were a lot lonelier than people who didn’t spend much time on the Net.
This was an unexpected find because many people view the Internet and e-mail as a great way to make and keep connections with other people.

Soulmate
How do I draw a soulmate into my life? You don’t. I’ve read plenty of books that tell you how to do it, but I don’t believe for a minute that you can place your cosmic order and your perfect ideal twin soul is going to materialize just like that at your front door. It doesn’t happen like that. You can open your heart and mind to finding a beautiful loving relationship, but chances are that using the …

Set up boundaries so the family and friends know that this is your sacred time. Now, …

Original it ain’t, but it still merits repetition: “Denial is not a river in Egypt”. What it is, is a highly addictive behaviour.
It starts insignificantly enough; an incident occurs which you would have rather hadn’t happened; words are spoken that are cruel and contemptuous, words you would not have wished to hear; a behaviour appears that you weren’t expecting, which is hurtful and dismissive? Suddenly you’re to blame, though you probably aren’t too sure what for.

Love
Most single guys are settled in their life. Their mornings, afternoons and evenings have a routine they are comfortable with and rarely will they go beyond the boundaries of that routine. Even a single guy’s loneliness can become his norm and if someone crosses his path that interest him, he rationalizes instead of trying to adapt.

Too bad there are not strict policies, punishable by law in association with the internet wherein something could be written and implemented along the lines of “Truth in Online Dating”.
