Should I Stay or Should I Go? Consider These before Entering a Long Distance Relationship

Before deciding on whether or not to go on a long distance relationship, a lot of serious thinking has to be done. After all, being in a long distance relationship is not easy, no matter how deep your feelings for each other. Attraction could easily fade as each day not spent together passes. So before anything else, read up on long distance relationships advice that may come in handy for your relationship.

One of the first things to consider is whether or not you are prepared for such distance, and whether you or your partner can remain committed to each other even while the other is far away. You should also assess the level of your relationship, whether it’s only a fling thing or marriage material. It should be worth putting effort into.

Next is to think about your communication. Communication is very important in keeping the fire burning while in a long distance relationship, so decide how you’re going to keep in touch with your partner. You can take advantage of technology nowadays and use social networking sites, videoconferencing, chatting, talking through phone, SMS, and other tools. You can also decide on a schedule for chat sessions.

Another long distance relationships advice is to determine one’s availability to have personal interaction. Determine how often you or your partner can visit each other, the expenses of doing so, and whether or not it is even feasible. After all, face to face interaction, no matter how infrequent, is important in maintaining your relationship.

Always keep an end goal in mind. A long distance relationship has to end, and something’s got to give. Will it be for a month, a year, until school or work is accomplished? After which, will you or your partner be moving to live with each other?

If you do decide to move, and your partner is living in another part of the globe, can you adapt to the differences in living conditions or culture? Is it okay with you to be far away from your family, relatives and friends?

Those are just some long distance relationships advice you can use to help determine if you’re ready to handle the challenges of being in such relationship.

Songs tell a lot. They come in different genre. What have you come across a genre which is endless and immortal? Is it about friendship or hatred? Of course, almost all have the idea that LOVE is the most discussed, written and sung by different people- different voices. When dating out, what makes the date you have worth-cherishing?

Music has something to do with it. And music could eventually shape the mood of your date. Dating is such a great way of sifting your future lifetime partner. When you are out for a date, see to it that the music is just enticing and that it creates a mood for romance.

Man has composed almost all forms of songs but he writes love songs beautifully. Since the day the first love song was created, millions are indeed heart-melting. Songs of finding a new love, losing love, songs of inspiration, songs of moving on…songs about romance, the first times and the spurt of emotions.

With all due respect to all artists and fanatics, these are some of Romance songs which mean the tangle shared by two people in love during the most romantic date:

Truly, Madly, Deeply (Savage Garden) – this duo’s song speaks about an in-depth affection and promise to the person being loved.

“I’d be your dream
I’d be your wish…
I’d be your fantasy…
I’d be your hope…be your love…
Be everything that you need…”

This I Promise You (N’Sync) - this group made the airwaves filled with love. This song is really a pledge of a lifetime commitment. It is often used as wedding song.

“And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Until the day my life is through
This I promise you…”

Iris (Goo Goo Dolls) - the OST of City of Angels, it gained popularity not because of the movie alone but because the song pinches the heart.

“And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand…
When everything’s made to be broken-
I just want you to know who I am.”

Dreaming’ of you (Selina) - the singer died but the song stays immortal. It is a light song but with a strong impact to one’s heart.

“I’m dreaming of you tonight
‘Til tomorrow
And for all of my life
And there’s nowhere in the world
I’d rather be…”

Songs will always be a part of courtship and it all starts with dating. If not, just a pat of an ignored expression of love. Music is the greatest invention man. Generations will continue to keep it rich. It will remind them of love and romance when they are here and grow up.

Happy Birthday To Me… :)

January 8, 2009 by Patricia  
Filed under Personal Happenings

It’s my birthday today and it’s been a really wonderful year for me!

If you are wondering what my boyfriend, Calvin did for me.. here’s an idea for you guys to take away to surprise your loved one for a special occasion such as a birthday!

Here’s what he did…

He surprised me with plans to take me out to sea for the afternoon. It was a boat trip out to Nowhere and it was certainly a surprise! Because I’ve hardly gone out to sea and it was really refreshing to spend some quality time away from the hustle and bustle of life in the city and move to the peaceful high seas.

It is really romantic for the both of us to be on the deck and enjoying the sea breeze, while he sings a birthday song, love songs and just spends the lovely afternoon serenading to me. It was really cooling too despite the rather hot sun.

The other surprise that came was his birthday present for me. I didn’t know that he actually took time off work to go get a present for me! Girls are actually quite easy to please. Especially when you know what they like, love, need and want. And certainly, Calvin knows i like plushies and soft toys.. especially the Winnie The Pooh Series. And he got me a lovely Eeyore huggable soft toy! :D

It’s not difficult to surprise your loved one when you have a unique idea and when you take time to understand your loved one’s likes and interests. It doesn’t hurt to plan really early because that way, you can hint your plans to your loved one to see his/her interest level and enthusiasm. Though, remember not to do it too blatantly!

Growing Online Dating Relationships

January 4, 2009 by Patricia  
Filed under Online Dating, Online Dating Tips

Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need tending, to grow over time.
Here are some quick growing tips.

1. Take time and make time.

Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, might mean time to move on.

2. Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you.

If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes. So don’t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.

3. Respect each others privacy.

Don’t share personal email addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you the information in confidence.

4. Share special online and offline fun times.

Online – send greeting cards, links to favorite places to upload digital photos of your favorite pet, download music and video clips, post on favorite forums of interest. Offline- if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send print greeting cards and postcards, small items from your area (like a key chain with your state bird).

Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
