This is the first of a series of short stories (Girl Shorts) that I am writing to encourage anyone who sees someone (boy or girl) who catches your interest, and find a way to approach them- because you just never know. Remember be creative!
This one is called “The Bet”
Girls, girls, girls…they can sure scramble ones’ libido. Women can be sexy, seductive, captivating, inspiring and it doesn’t matter if they are tall, short, thin, rubenesque, if you find one who catches your eye just right. If you don’t take a shot at a girl who scrambles your libido, you’re an idiot. You’ve got nothing to lose but the loss of not taking the shot. The key, be creative and get her attention.
Whether your first date is an “eating” activity or not, there are some food items or general food categories that should not be tackled in the first month of dating, if not longer. Manners are tricky as it is, so why increase associated risk of dining and ending up with “egg on your face” by eating the following:
To determine which action would suit your life, perhaps defining each of these words for you would be a good place to start. Everyone uses these words and knows what they mean in general, but to really understand the words to apply them, requires a more in depth definition and review of them.
Whether you are married, living together, dating, etc. it is not uncommon for couples to experience elevated stress levels during the holidays. The key is to pay attention, communicate your needs, and incorporate strategies to keep stress low.
A friend of mine recently said she found “the one”. She thinks it’s silly of me that I don’t believe that there is one person for us that is in fact “the one” or the “perfect one”. If you too believe in the one, then who have all of the other people you have had relationships with? If you are 40, have been married once or twice, have had multiple boyfriends or girlfriends, but now you find someone you know for certain is “the one”, who were those people? Did you settle for someone less than the one because you were afraid to be alone or don’t like being alone?
Relationships are not easy; whether it’s with your parents, siblings, friends, spouse, or girl/boy friend. There are many key principles to maintaining a successful relationship with your significant other. Setting aside for the purposes of this article that no one can make you happy, as it must come from within, if you implement the following concepts, your chances of a successful relationship with your partner will significantly increase. 
There comes a time in a relationship when you get “comfortable” with your partner. That’s a good thing. You know what to expect from them in terms of their behavior, attitudes, and beliefs, how they treat you, what makes them happy, sad, or angry, etc. It is normal for relationships to evolve or morph into something else after a period of time. Maybe when you first started going out, i.e. the “honeymoon stage” you had sex everyday or 4 or 5 times a week, you wrote each other love notes regularly, or brought him/her flowers frequently; and now, not so much. It’s normal for a cooling down period where your love evolves into something way more than just the physical aspect of your relationship and you build and grow on trust, loyalty, compassion, procreation, and deeper connections. Living together creates a distinct closeness that most humans probably long for but sometimes causes the loss of what you had in the beginning. If your relationship initially was just based on companionship and friendship and not a physical intensity that a lot of couples experience, then this may not apply to you.
