Online relationships have got a pretty mixed reputation, with good reason. Some online relationships are absolute disasters, others are triumphs of communication and love. It’s important to take a realistic view of any online relationship before you start shopping for travel insurance.

Online pleasures

The great side of online relationships can be the utterly unexpected people you meet. Friends can be made all over the world. There’s no lack of these good quality relationships, whatever else may be said about the perils of online romance. These are the healthy online relationships, and, not at all coincidentally, they’re also the ones most likely to lead to productive results.

Brad Asked:

“Does she like me?  I work with a girl who I have worked with for a few years. I really like her but am getting confused as to weather or not she likes me back. when I am at work I find her staring at me. She always laughs at what I say even when it’s not supposed to be a funny comment. When we have a conversation she always is looking deep into my eyes. She always has to know what I’m doing. For example, if I’m trying to go clean something and she sees me walk by no matter what she’s doing she will ask me where i’m going and if the boss isn’t around she will tell me not to do it and just to sit in the office and talk to her. It also seems like she can’t be in the same room without her trying to draw my attention and making notice her. For the simplest of tasks that I’m doing she always wants to help me with the for example taking the garbage out or sweeping out rooms. For a while now it seems like she purposely bumping into me or always moving closer to me and seeing what my reaction to this is. And even as of lately she is finding excuses for me to touch her for example the other day she was telling me how she had a nice abs and pulled her shirt up and asked me to feel it or when she was telling me how soft and comfortable her Lou Lou lemon pants were and told me to feel her thighs to see for my self. Now this is the part that confuses me some times she talks about other guys not about being with them but how hot they are but Even when she sees them at my work she doesn’t flirt with them or any of the stuff I just listed. So that is why I am confused. Any advise from anyone would be really appreciated as I’m unsure weather or not she likes me or not.”

Date night. You know it’s good for your relationship. You want to. You mean to. But, darn it, you’re busy with a house to run, bills to pay, bosses to please, projects to complete, kids to care for—and on and on. Add the unexpected—sick kids, car problems, leaking pipes—and it’s hard to find the time to even grab a cup of coffee together. But think of it this way: that laundry list of responsibilities and worries shouldn’t be what stands in your way, it should also be what fuels you. It should be what lights a fire under your collective butts to come together as a couple, without distraction, even if only for a couple of hours a week. Those excuses? They’re nonsense. Let’s take a closer look:

‘Tis the season, they say, to pop the question, November and December accounting for 26 percent of marriage proposals according to a survey sponsored by the Fairchild Bridal Group, the publisher of Modern Bride. Yet the main reason people end up getting married isn’t because of any seasonal phenomenon, it’s simply because someone asked! Which brings me to what inspired this week’s blog; a young man named Emmanuel. He’s a 23-year-old, ex-soccer player from Spain, who had a promising career but crushed his leg beyond repair and then decidedly embraced a path as a singer/song writer/musician. He loves his mother, his job (setting up bands with high-tech equip and renting us a karaoke machine for our Xmas party, in between playing at his own gigs), his band, and has an ex-girlfriend who wants to get married. In my opinion, that was like having a partridge in a pear tree. So of course I said so…

Michelle Asked:

“Story? Well you all will kind of laugh thinking ‘does this still happen in this day and age?’ but it does. I’m in an ‘arranged marriage’ setup…and I’m ‘engaged’ to a very quiet, shy guy. He seems friendly though, and there’s a history of him being wounded before in the romantic department…he was rejected prior to me coming in his life. So sometimes I feel, he doesn’t open up because he’s protecting himself from being hurt…and I try to make it seem like I’m normal, and vulnerable and in the same situation. but its so hard to decipher him! now I’m thinking…what if I’m a complete idiot! and he ends up hating my personality!…argh..what have I gotten myself into…how do I decipherrrrrr that he likes me?!?!?”

What if all paths actually led up the mountain no matter what choices you made, what your attitude was like, how much money you made or lost, how many times you were married, if you got sick or devoted your life to a cause? No matter which way you turned, a hundred or a thousand times, it all led to the same place?

What if you prayed backwards? Stood at the place before you were born, where every prayer you would ever pray was already heard and all you had to do was lean in and listen to what already was so. And all you had to do to know anything would be to sit quietly and listen to yourself, to that Divine wisdom right inside you?
