Are you searching for your true love? Do you feel that you’ll never find it? Are you afraid you might not recognize it if it fell into your lap? Everybody hopes they will be favored with true, unabashed love from a worthy companion. Some are more fortunate in their search than others, but you can improve your odds for finding true love by following a few simple rules.
You’ve heard the old adage that love will find you, not the other way around. This is only partially true. Love will find you if you make yourself available. If you hide in your home wearing pajamas and watching cable tv, it will have a difficult time locating you. You will have a much better chance of meeting your perfect mate if you hang out in places where successful singles congregate.
If you’re too busy, or too exhausted at the end of the day, to get spiffed up and go bar-hopping, think about joining an online dating service. These sites aren’t just for losers. Lots of worthy singles are resorting to the Internet to match them up according to their interests and lifestyle. Some of these sites use sophisticated personality tests to pair you with compatible partners, while others let you choose potential soul mates for yourself. If you want to sort through your dating prospects rather than letting a computer program do it for you, you need to keep the following things in mind.
Determine what you need and want from a man. Don’t rely on friends, family, or the media to tell you what’s important. Look deep inside yourself for the answer to this question. What will make you truly happy?
Establish standards and stick by them. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an open mind, merely that you shouldn’t shortchange yourself. For instance, if you’ve dating several unemployed men in a row, you might make a commitment to only date guys with stable jobs. If you had a bad experience dating a man who was continually gone on business, you might decide to date only men who stick close to home.
Don’t let yourself become disillusioned by the dating scene. Although it’s easy to get discouraged, fight the urge to give up the search for your true love. Try to take something positive away from every encounter, even if it’s only the knowledge that you won’t make that mistake again.

Love At First Sight – Is It Possible?
Do you believe in love at first sight or do you think it's just a silly, childish and overly romantic notion? Have you recently seen a guy that you think you might be attracted to and would like to know if it's more than an infatuation? Do you want to know if it's really possible to be in love by just seeing the person for the first time? The concept of love at first sight has been around probably ever since mankind learned to articulate about romantic feelings. If you want to learn more about this age-old adage and if there's really something to it, then read on.
What is it?
Love at first sight is falling head over heels in love with another person from the very first moment that you see him. It's not hard to visualize this, what with countless Hollywood movies using this common scene to popular romantic movies. Perhaps a guy is simply walking down the street and then he sees this beautiful woman coming towards him. All of a sudden, everything is in slow motion. The whole scene fades to gray while the girl and the girl alone becomes vibrant. Soft violin music fills the air and the guys becomes transfixed. Although it's not possible in real life for music to come out of nowhere and to see people in slow motion, this is basically the gist of what happens when you fall in love upon first sight.
Is it real?
Many people have asked throughout the ages if love at first sight truly exists. Well, the answer is yes and no. Falling in love at first sight is characterized by strong physical attraction. This automatically means that there is chemistry and butterflies—elements that are needed to make a relationship succeed. However, for the relationship to be meaningful and long lasting, you have to get to know the person first. Even if he looks like your knight in shining armor, what if it turns out that he's someone who has nothing in common with you? So the next time you think you might be in love with someone you just laid your eyes on, take it to the next step and get to know him. Who knows? It could be true love.

for the Girls: Make A Guy Fall In Love – Simple Techniques For Massive Success
Do you know the tricks to make a guy fall in love with you? What qualities do women possess that make men fall in love with them? What is the way into a guy’s heart? Getting that special guy to fall head over heels for you seems to be a secret to many women because most just don’t get the hang of it. Here are two things you can do and maybe the secret is out of the bag.
Mistaking lust for love is very common for men to do. The really can’t tell the difference, especially at first since it’s hard for them to separate the two. But, as you know, men can fall in lust at the drop of a hat but falling in love is a different story.
It would make women’s life much simpler if lust and love was the same thing. Just think, you could just dress in sexy clothes and parade in front of them while you flirt. But in reality you really have to have more going for you than a body to exhibit. You should have to get into his heart another way and that probably has something to do with your inner beauty.
Is it possible to make him have emotions that he will recognize? To make a guy fall in love you will have to excite him in other ways than sexually. He will need to be stimulated by your mind and your personality to get him to come back time and time again. Sure, some women can just snap their fingers and men come running but most women can’t. Get your magic working and cast that spell to get his feelings stirring. Trigger the right emotions and be his best friend. Join him in his interests and hobbies and encourage him. By being there when all is right with the world he may see these feelings are because you are there and making him feel good.
Men don’t mature in a relationship as quickly as a woman sometimes. Even if you have fallen for him don’t expect him to be there quite this soon. The ‘getting to know you’ stage is longer for a guy and should be respected. You will have time to be good friends and learn a lot about each other. Relax and enjoy the relationship and you will recognize when he is ready to move the romance to a higher level. Pressuring him will only push him away and you are trying to make a guy fall in love with you, not run away from you.

How To Attract Women
Let me tell you how to attract women, you want to know? The awesome thing is that there are not hard and fast rules that make a decision for you to see if you don't do this then you don't get girls. But, that is why it is so bad. Because you only have some general guidelines that you can follow so I can't give you a structured thing to say to get you results 100% of the time.
What I can give you is point out some factors that most women find attractive in a man. If you have these qualities in your personality, then you will attract women. Attracting women does not require money, good lookings or anything that the media says you need. Being rich and young will not hurt your cause though. So the things you need to know in order learn how to attract women are: - You let her realize that you are not interested in being a normal friend - I hope you wonder why this might be the case? If you're just a friend, then you are just that. Don't ask me to explain.
I don't why it just happens that why. - You are a man - Women like men! It baffles me as to why men try to act like girls? It's got a direct correlation with the garbage that media tells you about how you need to be more of a sensitive metro homosexual male. You know what. Girls and women have liked guys who were behaving like dudes since... the beginning of time. Chances are if you do not act like a wussy man, and be a girl guy you will get women. - You come across as a high status male - Mentioned earlier, women have always been attracted to men who act like men. Why is this? It is because men like this display a high status to her. Chillax, you do not need $ or cars to demonstrate this to her.
All that is needed is for you to show her in your personality that you are a male of high status. - You are a challenge - Put simply, people like things they can't have. There is nothing that rings more truth to this, especially since if she cannot have you! You want to know why whores are not respected? The primary factor is because they are not a challenge. It's the same with attracting girls. Play hard to get! - You are not a wuss - That means, you say no to girls and their demands! You return a favor in exchange for one she provides. Eg. I ask her in a playful way, what do I get for helping her out? Sometimes, do you ask yourself how come you want to do these things? Not because you need a favor, but you want to demonstrate to women that you are a high status male and you do not do things for just anyone. They have to earn it! That's just a quick run through of things you need to know if you want to know how to get girls.

Expressing the magic words
Often in the daily grind, we may forget to show our significant other how much we love them. Make sure to find creative ways to keep love alive - not just for your sweetheart, but these ideas can work for kids and friends as well! Using a little imagination will take the routine out of the words “I Love You” and make your loved one feel extra special. Don’t wait until Valentine’s Day! Spread the love all year long. Here’s a few things I have done that got a great response.
For the first anniversary, I looked up a calendar that showed how many weeks, days, hours, and seconds and minutes we had been dating. I listed those in his card, and then found “I Love You” in 52 languages and wrote those inside the card (one for each week). This was a budget friendly gift that showed my love by the time spent and thought.
Purchased gifts have always been hard for me to find - so I try to do something unique. For a birthday gift, I designed a candy bouquet. On each piece of candy, I put a ribbon with a note that incorporated the name of the candy. For example, “I love you to (Reece’s) pieces!”. Some candy lends itself to more suggestive notes, or you could easily do this for a child.
Thoughtful acts are always appreciated. Put a towel in the dryer when your love is in the shower, and replace it with the cold one before they get out. Anticipate other needs and make sure things are in place.
Notes left all over the house for a miniature scavenger hunt make a great game. One day I left clues all around the house before I left. He had to find them all for the prize. I left one inside his towel, hanging on the door, inside his cereal box, under his windshield and other places I knew he would go in the morning. He was most surprised with the cereal box, and almost didn’t’ see the one on the car. Post it notes are perfect for this game.
Buy tickets or make arrangements for your other half to go do something fun with his friends that doesn’t interest you. For mine, it’s going to ride the motorcycle. He seldom takes the initiative to make the arrangements, so sometimes I have to secretly modify his schedule so he can go have a day with the boys.
Make a “dinner in” to avoid the long wait at a restaurant. Get rid of the kids for overnight. If you don’t cook, have a caterer prepare dinner. Dress up like you were going somewhere formal, dim the lights, unplug the TV and get some soft music ready. Celebrate just because you can.
Create a scrapbook of your life together, complete with trinkets from special occasions. Make the last section “to be continued….”
My favorite part of doing something special is the element of surprise. I hate having to get a present for someone just because the holidays calls for it. While roses on Valentine’s Day are nice, I much prefer something a little unexpected. Spending a little time reading up on ideas has inspired me to personalize holidays and make ordinary days something special. Try some of these ideas today - little acts of kindness will yield huge returns!

TUKSUHAN
The traditional dalagang Pilipina (Filipina maiden) is shy and secretive about her real feelings for a suitor and denies it even though she is really in love with the man.
Tuksuhan lang (just teasing) is the usual term associated with pairing off potential couples in Filipino culture. This is common among teenagers and young adults. It is a way of matching people who may have mutual admiration or affection for each other. It may end up in a romance or avoidance of each other if the situation becomes embarrassing for both individuals.
Tuksuhan (teasing--and a girl's reaction to it) is a means for 'feeling out' a woman's attitude about an admirer or suitor. If the denial is vehement and the girl starts avoiding the boy, then he gets the message that his desire to pursue her is hopeless. The advantage of this is that he does not get embarrassed because he has not started courting the girl in earnest. As in most Asian cultures, Filipinos avoid losing face. Basted (from English busted) is the Tagalog slang for someone who fails to reach 'first base' in courting a girl because she does not have any feelings for him to begin with.
However, if the girl 'encourages' her suitor (either by being nice to him or not getting angry with the 'teasers'), then the man can court in earnest and the tuksuhan eventually ends. The courtship then has entered a 'serious' stage, and the romance begins.
A man who is unable to express his affection to a woman (who may have the same feelings for him) is called a torpe (stupid), dungo (extremely shy), or simply duwag (coward). To call a man torpe means he does not know how to court a girl, is playing innocent, or does not know she also has an affection for him.
If a man is torpe, he needs a tulay (bridge)--anyone who is a mutual friend of him and the girl he loves--who then conveys to the girl his affection for her. It is also a way of 'testing the waters' so to speak. If the boy realizes that the girl does not have feelings for him, he will then not push through with the courtship, thus saving face.
Some guys are afraid of their love being turned down by the girl. In Tagalog, a guy whose love has been turned down by the girl is called sawi (romantically sad), basted (busted), or simply labless (loveless). Click here for Tagalog romantic phrases used in Filipino courtship.

Ligaw Pinoy
October 22, 2008
Ano ba ang iyong diskarte para masungkit ang matamis na OO ng iyong nililiyag? Bahay at lupa, kotse, alahas, bakasyon grande kahit saang lupalop ng mundo? Lahat ay iyong gagawin para lamang makuha ang iyong ninanais.Sukdulang ialay mo ang iyong kalulwa sa paniningalang pugad. Bulag nga ba ang pag-ibig, kung gayon bulag din nga ba ang tibok ng iyong puso? Sino ba ang matalino kapag pag-ibig na ang pinag-uusapan? Lahat tayo pinalalasap ng maligalig ngunit kainamang pagpitik ng puso dahil sa tinatawag nilang pagsinta. Paano nga ba dumiskarte ang isang Pinoy?
Mas trip ng babae ang sinusuyo, mas gusto nila yong pinupuri,sinasamba, pauulanan ng walang kamatayang maganda at sexy siya, kahit sa totoo lang amoy lupa na siya, in short isa siyang tikbalang. Kahit ano pa ang ating sabihin, sila ay babae na dapat lang nililigawan. Sino ba namang lalake ang ibig ay siya ang hahandugan ng bulaklak at tsokolate? Kung meron man sila ay iyong kapwa lalake din ang gustong makayakap sa dilim.
Klasik na ang pagbibigay ng tsokolate at bulaklak. Kahit gaano kamahal o kabantot pa ng bulaklak kung ito naman ay nanggaling sa kaniyang manliligaw, ilalagay niya ito sa plorera para tumagal ang pagkasariwa, inaamoy- amoy habang nakapikit ang mata. Ang tsokolate naman ay ibibigay kunwari kay bunso at inay kasi ayaw masira ang pigyur na 24-34-no more. Kung ang manliligaw ay araw araw magbibigay ng tsokolate at bulaklak, malaking pamumuhunan na yan. Idagdag pa ang pagyayayang kumain sa labas at manood ng sine, maglibot sa mall at bilhin ang magustuhan, dyahe naman kung si binibini ang gagastos. Meron namang kelots na plastic, kahit buong barangay na ang kasama pero isa lang ang nililigawan, sige lang, napapangiting aso si kelots, sila yong may tendency na maghigante sa katagalan ng kanilang relasyon, tiyak singilang malaki yon, humanda ka binibini.
Pogi points sa lalake kapag, inalalayan mo sa pag-akyat at pagbaba sa sasakyan, ihaharang ang sarili kapag tumatawid sa tawiran, yong tipong hindi dapat mahagingan ng hangin ang katawan ni binibini, ipagbubukas ng pinto,ipag-uusod ng upuan, dadalhin ang pink shoulder bag kahit bukol sa masel si binata, ang baduy, tila yata isang prinsesa ang pakiramdam ni binibini pag ganun. Naisip ko lang may kapansanan ba ang mga babae o sadya lamang plastik ang mga lalake?
Napakaromantiko naman ng mga lalakeng naiguguhit ang kanilang nararamdaman sa pamamagitan ng tula, awit o bersa, kornik ang dating nito pero ubod kilig naman ang hatid sa binibini, iipunin niya tiyak lahat ng alaala ng kakiligan, nandiyan ‘yong itago ang ginamit ng panyo,ginamit na condom, isang katerbang sulat na iisa lamang naman ang laman “ I love you” ako mahal mo din ba? “. Masarap balik balikan ang alaala ng lumipas, nagkukulay rosas ang pisngi, tumatawa ang mata, at nagiging sariwa ang natitigang na lupa sa mga babaeng napaglilipasan na ng panahon.
Naubos mo din ba ang bulaklak ng Santan dahil lamang sa “ He loves me, he loves me not”? Uulit ulitin hanggat hindi nakukuha ang “ He loves me”, sabay talon at hiyaw ng YES. Ang mga rosas na inipit sa pagitan ng pahina ng libro,ginagawang unan bago matulog at sasambitin ang pangalan ng sinisinta. Ang pagsusulat sa Slum book, sasagot ka dito ng sino, kalian, ano ang first….lahat may first, kadalasang sagot ay SECRET. Ito ang diskarte ng Pinay tsiks, para hindi masyadong halata na trip niya ang boylet dadaanin na lang niya sa pagpapasulat sa Slum book. Sino ba namang hindi iikot ang tumbong kapag nakikita mo ang kunyaring galit na galit ka at isinusumpa mo kuno pero ang totoo “ the more you hate the more you love” ang drama ng hitad. Hwag ka maingay, hanggang ngayon nakatago pa rin ang slum book ko, inaanay na pero masarap pa ring balikan.
Kung nauso pa ang harana sa panahon mo, hindi nga ba at ang ganda ganda mo prinsesa ng Kumintang? Habang ikaw ay nakahiga sa katre, inaabangan mo na ang tunog ng kuwerdas ng gitara, dahan dahan kang babangon at sisilip sa siwang ng bintana upang masilayan mo ang iyong iniirog, hipid na hipid ang buhok na may pomada at babanat ng walang kamatayang liriko “ Dungawin mo hirang…ang nanambitan”, sisindihan ang tiringke, may ligayang hatid ang ilaw sa lampara, animoy nagbibigay ng pag-asa na masusungkit na ang matagal ng inaaba. Ilang binata ba ang nabuhusan ng ihi mula sa orinola ni lola Inta, hinabol ng taga ni Mang Kulas, nakaapak ng ebs at kinagat ni Bantay. Sa araw naman ay magsisibak ka ng kahoy, mag iigib ng tubig, lilinisan ang ekta-ektaryang lupain, kainamang hirap para lamang sa dalawang letra at marahang tango..OO
Sa panahon ngayon ibang klase na ang diskarteng Pinoy, kadalasa’y babae na ang lumiligaw, minsan tinutukan pa ng balisong para lang masungkit ang OO. Hindi kaya karma ito sa mga ninuno natin na masyadong inalipin si Lolo.
