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.
