Pick Up Lines That Work

Are there any pick-up lines that work? Friends of mine tell me that there is just one that does: "You have a great ass." Another is "Wow are those real!" and "You look like a real challenge."
Of course you could also try this all-purpose one, especially if you want to be a nice guy: "If you stood in front of a mirror and held up 11 roses, you would see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world."

Is What I'm Feeling Infatuation or Love?

There are some feelings we have when infatuated that we don’t have when we’re feeling love. Some of the “symptoms” of infatuation are; feelings of panic, uncertainty, overpowering lust, feverish excitement, impatience, and/or jealously.

When infatuated, we are thrilled, but not happy, wanting to trust, yet suspicious. There are lingering, nagging doubts about our “partner in infatuation” and their love for us. We’re miserable when they’re away, almost like we’re not complete unless we’re with them. It’s a rush and it’s intense. It’s difficult to concentrate. And most infatuation relationships have a high degree of sexual charge around them. Somehow being with them is not complete unless in ends in some type of sexual encounter.

Do any of these “symptoms” resemble feelings of love? Hardly. So why do we become infatuated? Where does it come from? Perhaps it’s biological.

When infatuated we experience a surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good. Norepinephrine flows through the brain stimulating production of adrenaline (pounding heart). Phenylethalimine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments may be caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and feelings of emotional attachment. Together these chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic.

The body can build up tolerances to these chemicals so it takes more of the substance to get that special feeling of infatuation. People who jump from relationship to relationship may be craving the intoxicating effects of these substances and may be “infatuation junkies”.

When the chemical flood dries up, the relationship either moves into a loving romantic one or there is disillusionment, and the relationship ends.

Women’s Health: Walking It Off

One of the basic components of any long-term exercise plan is walking. It can be done in your neighborhood, at a local park, or even on the treadmill at a gym. And adding stairs – numerous times up and down the stairs of your home or apartment building, or opting for the stairs instead of the elevator at work – can only add to the amount of walking done as part of a workout plan.

Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes at a time burns stored fat and builds muscle, thereby increasing metabolism and weight loss. It has also been found to cut risks of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, and stroke. And walking can decrease anxiety, improve concentration, and reduce stress.

While some people enjoy a brisk walk, a slow walk can be more beneficial to those seeking weight loss. More calories are burned per mile at low speeds because each step expends energy; faster movements create more momentum and require less energy. A quicker pace is better suited for those seeking to build muscle.

Before beginning a regular walking routine, it is important to possess the correct footwear and clothing. A shoe store salesperson should be able to direct you to a pair of shoes that are flexible for walking and sized properly for the swelling of the feet that happens while walking. The shirt or tank top should be of a light material like polypropylene – not cotton – that will keep sweat away from the body, and a larger t-shirt, sweatshirt, or light jacket can be added if the weather warrants. Depending upon the time of day, a hat and/or sunscreen might need to be added to the lineup.

While walking, use your arms to counterbalance the leg motions by bending them 90 degrees and swinging them back and forth opposite the legs. This helps with power, speed, and posture. Also, straighten the back and keep the chin parallel to the ground.

It is most important to stay hydrated before and after walking. It is recommended to drink one eight-ounce glass of water every hour throughout the day, but more specifically, ten minutes before a walk. Another cup of water is advised at 20 or 30 minute intervals during the walk, and one to two glasses of water will rehydrate after the walk. If the walk lasts more than two hours, an electrolyte-replacement sports drink in addition to the water is advised.

Walking is an important part of any exercise regimen and can be done in the morning, evening, or even on a lunch break at work. It is a basic form of exercise that holds the potential for numerous mental and physical benefits if done regularly.

How To Plan a Romantic Dinner at Home for Your Spouse

When was the last time you had a romantic dinner with your spouse?
You don't have to have a special occasion to host a romantic dinner for your spouse.

Set aside the excuse you can't cook.

If you are culinary-challenged, you can still plan a romantic dinner at home for the two of you by either choosing simple recipes to follow or by purchasing some of the meal courses from a restaurant or store.

Difficulty: Average
Time Required: As long as you want it to
Here's How:
Set the stage of your romantic dinner by making sure the two of you will be alone.
If you have children, arrange for babysitting at someone else's home.

Plan your romantic dinner on an evening of a week that you are sure your spouse won't have other time commitments already scheduled.
Do you want the romantic dinner to be a surprise or not? If it is a surprise, light candles in the entrance of your home to surprise your spouse.
If the dinner won't be a surprise, consider giving your spouse an invitation that you write yourself.

Send the invitation by mail, leave it on your mate's pillow, send it with a bouquet of flowers, leave it on the dash of your spouse's car, etc.

Your invitation needs to be specific as to when the romantic dinner is planned. Be creative!

Set the table with a tablecloth, cloth napkins, nice dinnerware, crystal, unscented candles, and flowers. The napkins can be rolled or folded in a pretty way.
Sprinkle the table with rose petals or sparkly heart shaped sprinkles. You can set floating candles in small glasses filled partly with cranberry juice.

Decide on your romantic dinner menu.
Keep it simple, but don't forget the appetizers. Plan on serving foods that your spouse likes. This isn't a time to experiment with a new recipe.

If you are going to order your part of your romantic dinner from a restaurant or other source, make sure you have time to transfer the menu items to attractive bowls and platters.Choose the music you want to listen to ahead of time, and have soft romantic music playing in the background.

Create dimmed lighting for the room where you will be dining. Small, white Christmas light strings can have the desired look. So can a fire in a fireplace.
Turn off the television, computers, and other distractions.

Lady Gaga's Mixed Messages About Sex and Relationships

I love many things about Lady Gaga: her originality, her flair, and of course her catchy dance hits. But sometimes her messages about sex and relationships confuse me!

On one hand, she’s empowering: she raises awareness for important issues like youth homelessness, HIV/AIDS, and LGBTQ rights, and she encourages her fans to be proud of their individuality. But on the other hand, some of the sexual imagery in her music videos makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Take, for example, her music video for “Alejandro,” which was released a couple weeks ago. In a few different dance scenes, it looks to me like Lady Gaga is being sexually assaulted by her dance partners. Though the sequences might simply be a nod to S/M sex (which is ideally safe and consensual), I’m not sure that everyone will interpret the dance scenes that way. I, for one, felt a little queasy while watching the scenes. Sexual assault in the real world is, unfortunately, very common: according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 1 in 6 women (and 1 in 33 men) will be sexually assaulted sometime in their life. It’s often hard to tell the difference between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy one, and it’s even more confusing when celebrities make violent sex look glamorous.

On the other hand, Lady Gaga also has some really powerful, positive things to say about sex and relationships. For instance, check out her live performance at the Human Rights Campaign’s National Dinner in 2009. She sang a rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” to raise awareness for LGBTQ rights and marriage equality. I think this video sums up her most inspiring messages about relationships. She speaks out about the importance of respect, love, and equality—necessary ingredients for any healthy relationship, romantic or otherwise.

When watching music videos, TV dramas, or even the latest blockbuster movie, it’s tricky to sort through the different depictions of sex and relationships: What’s healthy? What’s hurtful? What’s normal? A good place to start is simply being aware that not all media representations of sex reflect reality. So educate yourself and be a savvy media consumer. Pay close attention to the imagery, lyrics and words of your favorite singers, rappers, and celebrities, and decide for yourself how you feel about them. As for me, I’m still going to sing along when my favorite pop songs come on the radio, but I will take a moment to think about the words that are coming out of my mouth.

Sex Tips to Rekindle The Heat

In long-term relationships, it's easy to settle into a routine with your partner that, while may be comfortable, can make your sex life a tad mundane. However, by shaking it up and using these sex tips, you can revive the spark that first brought you two together. Here are a few ideas to consider.

SEX TIP 1: KEEP IT PRETTY
First things first, it's impossible to have great sex if you don't feel sexy, so treat yourself to a blowout or some new lingerie, whatever is needed to put the "va-va-voom" back into your step.

SEX TIP 2: FLIRT WITH EACH OTHER
Make a habit of sending playful, sexy messages to him throughout the day. Make him salivate with anticipation by telling him what you're wearing and what you want to do to him later.

SEX TIP 3: SET THE MOOD
Don't underestimate the power of lighting a few candles. Make sure your bedroom is sexy and doesn't have toys littering it. And turn off the tv!

SEX TIP 4: JUST KISS
Agree to place a ban on sex for a certain length of time and just kiss and focus on foreplay. Abstaining from sex has the added benefit of charging up both of your libidos.

SEX TIP 5: SURPRISE HIM
Don't wear any underwear and let him find out.

SEX TIP 6: WATCH AN EROTIC FILM TOGETHER
It doesn't have to be porn for it to be sexy. Some favorites: Body Heat, Belle du Jour, Last Tango in Paris, Like Water for Chocolate.

SEX TIP 7: PLAY AN ADULT GAME
Check out Game night for couples and Games that lovers play for some naughty suggestions.

SEX TIP 8: DISCOVER A NEW POSITION
There are over 60 different positions in the Kama Sutra, so there's no excuse to not try a new one at least once a week!

SEX TIP 9: SHARE YOUR FANTASIES
A little role-playing can be fun and it doesn't have to be limited to the bedroom. Start the fun before you even get home by meeting at a bar and pretending you just met.

SEX TIP 10: GET OUT OF THE BEDROOM
Sometimes a change of locale is all that's needed to rev up the action. Try having sex somewhere unexpected; just be careful not to get caught!

If any of the ideas makes you feel nervous, then you should definitely try it first. The great part of being with someone for an extended period of time is that you can fully trust and feel safe with him, so don't hesitate to try something out of your normal comfort zone, especially if it means revving your sex life up!

Love Zodiac Signs

Love and zodiac signs are often related to each other. Though it is true that “Love is blind”, yet one can always trace some effect of zodiac signs on love. Zodiac sign reflects the major traits of a person. When two zodiac signs share more of similarities than differences, their compatibility becomes quite obvious. In some cases, if a person of particular zodiac sign is more aggressive then a calmer zodiac sign strikes a perfect balance with the former sign. The zodiac signs can determine the level of adjustment in making a match between people of different or the same sign.

Every sign has its own positive as well as negative qualities. What makes the perfect love math is the balanced approach to both the positive and negative traits of a particular zodiac sign. In this section, we bring you the love traits of the twelve zodiac signs and also bring out a compatibility chart between different zodiac signs. Read out to know your traits and find out the compatibility between you and your partner. In case you are single, this section will help you in finding the right love and making a great couple!

Aquarius Love Traits
The first thing that you will note about the people born under the Aquarius zodiac sign is that they are extremely friendly in nature. There will hardly be any person around them who is not their friend. They love their freedom. They are prone to mood swings. One moment they will be in solitude and the next, they are in a crowd. Aquarians hate to stick to the usual norms and have more of the rebellious traits in them.

Aries Love Traits
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac list. People born under the Aries zodiac sign are just like a newborn child, naive and unquestioning. Just like a child, they demand their wishes to be fulfilled first. They are stubborn and are at times aggressive. However, this should not convey the wrong notion that they are selfish. Arians are just incapable to see beyond their world. They are dynamic and quick-witted individuals who can rebel if provoked.

Cancer Love Traits
People born under the Cancer zodiac sign have an entire range of emotions packed inside them. One moment, you will see them as shy and timid and the next moment, they will be the center of attraction in a bunch of friends. They won't feel shy at all and bask in the glow of limelight. Cancerians are very attached to their home and family and are fiercely protective of them.

Capricorn Love Traits
Most of the sun signs like to bask in limelight unlike the Capricorns. They are the one who sit in a hidden corner at the party, silently admiring the scene before them. They are generally shy and reserved to some extent. They are go-getters and can stride way ahead of people when the time comes. People born under the Capricorn zodiac sign are extremely hard working, independent and self-confident. They respect traditions.

Gemini Love Traits
Those born under the zodiac of Gemini are intelligent and witty. Yet somehow they end up completely confused and clueless. They need new things to keep them stimulated, as they get bored too quickly. Born under the sign of the twins, Geminis live a carefree life with lots of new moves thrown in. They are quite sensitive, especially towards the suffering of the others.

Leo Love Traits
People born under the Leo zodiac sign love to live in style and are highly indulgent. The Lions love to be the center of attraction. They love social gatherings and love to mingle with people.

Another trait of Leos is that they are very vulnerable and get hurt very easily.

Libra Love Traits
The people born under the Libra zodiac sign are one of the most rational people around. They hate to be impolite and even sugar coat the truth to make it the least unpleasant. They have a contradictory persona. On one hand, they love arguments and on the other hand they try to patch up quarrels.

Pisces Love Traits
The last sign of the zodiac, Pisces reflects some of the characteristics of all the other signs. Pisceans are generally of two types, those who go with the flow and those who fight against the current. Those who go with the flow are often idealists. While those who go upstream, can reach the topmost positions in their life, as they tend to be fighters. Pisceans tend to be very emotional and sensitive.

Sagittarius Love Traits
Sagittarius is a fire sign, associated with many positive traits. People born under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius are very frank and innocent, almost like a child. They are optimistic to the core and very fun-loving. Sagittarians will try their best to compliment you, but are usually at a loss of words. They try to cheer you up, but often end up saying the wrong things. As a result, Sagittarians are often misunderstood.

Scorpio Love Traits
The first thing that you will notice about a Scorpion is the spellbinding gaze of his/her eyes. It will look as if they are piercing deep into your soul and getting access to your deepest feelings. Indecisiveness is not a scorpion trait. Their answers are either yes or no. They are passionate in love and can hate with equal aggressiveness.

Taurus Love Traits
Taurus is the sign of the Bull, and just like a ‘Bull’, they also tend to be very strong-headed. However, they exercise perfect control over themselves and are usually calm and composed. Their stubborn streak shows only when anyone tries to push them too hard in the wrong direction.

Virgo Love Traits
People born under Virgo zodiac sign are not the ones who love limelight. They are rarely seen in social circles. They are perfectionists, and do not tolerate overt faults. They maintain a composed look on the outside, but inside they are as anxious as anybody else. Worrying is their second name.

Any relation is bound to have its highs and lows. Sometimes the lows are so low that you end up in a fight. The agony of sulking and being away from your partner is worse than going to Hell. You seem to be blank about how to say sorry. Patching up after a fight has never been so difficult.

There are simple things that you need to know, to put across your apology in the best possible way. Make sure you don't make a big fuss about saying sorry. It is just one word, but it can either make or break your relationship. Say it with flowers and anything that your partner loves. If she loves dancing, take her out for a slow dance and say you are sorry while she is dancing in your arms. If he loves bowling, go out for a game together and tell him when he has finished striking all pins. Never start arguing as to who started the fight. Else, you will be back on square one. Make sure you are genuinely sorry for your mistakes. Don't try to fake up feelings just for the heck of it. Value your partner. Learn to respect his/her feelings and don't do things to hurt him/her deliberately. Read on to know more about patching up after a fight.
