Daily Love Dose

Archive for February, 2012

Being in a relationship with the person you love is one of the greatest things to happen to a person. Unfortunately, there are some occasions wherein the relationship does not go well that one or both of the parties in it eventually back out. Regardless of the reason of the break up, it leaves one with a broken heart. The thing with it is that unlike a physical wound that you could clean and put medicine on, nurturing a broken heart can be difficult.

When you are brokenhearted, the pain you feel is dependent on how much you love the other person. Furthermore, it can take a long time before you are able to recover from it especially if you are too attached to not just the person, but the memories you shared together. The first thing that you have to remember is that you should not force yourself to be happy or recover from the pain.

Healing a broken heart does not work that way and you will eventually be burned by it in the process. Furthermore, you should learn to accept the fact that you are brokenhearted and that the relationship is already over. By learning to accept it, you are taking a step forward rather than turning back from the actual source of the pain.

You should also give yourself time and be forgiving to yourself. It does not mean that when the relationship failed is that you are responsible for what happened. Keep in mind that it takes two to tango. The relationship did not work because somehow, both of you failed at some point. So stop putting the blame on yourself nor refrain from doubting yourself if you are lacking somewhere.

In addition, you should also accept the fact that you will enter a denial stage which is often the first case after a break up. This is normal but this should not take you forever. Your goal is to be able to move on. At the same time, you should love yourself more rather than mistreating yourself. Treating yourself out and being with supportive friends is also a great way to help you recover from a broken heart.

These tips may sound easy but then again, you cannot be healed overnight but by acknowledging what happened and what you are feeling, it is already a big leap forward.

It is just a few hours away before Valentine’s Day and many are excited especially those who are in a relationship. A few years back men are the ones who are expected to invite the girls out to a date. But society has changed since then and women are now given the opportunity how they want to enjoy their dates as well. Now, if you are one of those people who would be going out tomorrow then here are some tips that may help you have a more memorable experience.

One of the first things that you have to keep in mind is that you have to have confidence in yourself. This means that you should try your best to be positive and look forward for the best. Realize that being anxious and a bit nervous is normal. This happens to everyone once in a while but it is how you manage that feeling. Another thing is that you should make it a point that to make the date a pleasant one. Think of how you could make it worthwhile for the both of you.

Do not be afraid to take the initiative to ask the guy about how he wants to spend the date. Now, if there is a bit of conflict of interest between the two of you or you are not comfortable with his idea, you can always find a better alternative that is agreeable to both of you. You should also keep in mind that you should try to avoid thinking of problems or other things while you are with the other person. You are in a date and you should enjoy it. Drop any unnecessary thoughts that will keep you from enjoying yourself.

But perhaps one of the most important things that you have to practice is good hygiene. Like what you would like to have the guy do every time, you should also practice proper hygiene. Being neat and clean with your body can be very desirable. You should also appear decent and look at your best. Refrain from appearing in a date as if you were chasing someone or something. Not only will it make you more conscious but it does not give a good impression.

Overall, you do not need to be the perfect date for Valentine but at least; working on becoming a good date can lead you to a memorable experience.

What’s in a name? It could possibly be the success of one’s online dating pursuit. A study conducted by Humboldt University in Berlin concluded that online daters in the UK are more apt to look at dating profiles on the basis of how appealing that person’s name is. Whereas, a name commonly associated with adversity may cause a person to be skipped-over before ever obtaining a single profile view.

The research shows that men dating in UK who are named Kevin, Marvin, Dennis and Justin may have a difficult time of it. Correspondingly, females with the names Mandy, Celina, Chantal and Jacqueline may also run into a bit of trouble when it comes to finding a date online. Good news, however, for ladies named Charlotte, Hannah, Emma and Marie as these names were found to be the most successful among the females. Successful male names include: Jacob, Max, Alexander, Peter and Mark.

These conclusions were derived from a study involving 47,000 online daters, in which messages, with names only and excluding a picture of a person were sent. The profiles with unpopular first names drew in far fewer potential dates than those with a likeable name. For example, the profile established under the name Alexander received a 102% higher message response rate than that of Kevin’s profile.

The leader of the survey determined that a UK date would rather stay single than be in a relationship with someone whose name is undesirable to them. Based on one’s preferences and past experiences, names can certainly take on emotional representation, be it positive or negative. However, if we can refrain from making snap judgements about other people, true love could be in the offing. Visit UKDate.com and get started now on your journey to love.
