its quite a cliche when people says that “love is sweeter, the second time around”… by the thought of it, yes, definitely, it is very possible that it would be something better than how you previously experienced the relationship…

a lot of factors may affect the said improvement…

it could be that you have known the worst of the worst of your partner, that the next time he/she acts that way, you already know what to do…

the previous experience may also give you more understanding on the personality of the person…

or maybe, with what you’ve been through, nothing can ever come your way again…

but come to think of it…

to flirt or not to flirt

How to Flirt

Flirting is, at its most basic, a way to meet potential mates and see if they are compatible. In some situations, such as at a dance or a party, flirting is the only way to open the door to a romantic relationship with someone you don’t know and might not otherwise ever see again. Because of all of this, flirting is a very important skill, and it’s one that makes a lot of people nervous. There is an art to flirting, though, and it’s an art that can be learned. Here are some pointers.

Steps

1. Lower your expectations. Flirting is fun, but only if you don’t take it too seriously. Most of the time, you’ll just flirt with someone for a short time and then maybe never talk to them again. If you always go in to flirting expecting to date or even marry the person you’re flirting with, you’re going to be very disappointed–and you’ll probably seem a little desperate. Remember, you’re just flirting.

Sweet Gestures and Romantic Ideas to Express Your Love

Leave a lasting impression for the one you love with a sweet and sentimental gesture. From love letters to simply spending extra time together, it’s the little things that really do make a difference. Read on for 21 sweet and romantic things you can do to show how much you care.

1. Leave little love notes or piles of candy when you visit each other. Stash them away where your honey will be sure to find them, whether in the car, under his/her pillow or in a travel bag.

2. Call just because you are thinking of him or her… leave a cute message in the voicemail or send a text message with a sweet or seductive meaning. If you prefer to leave a message as opposed to talking, call when you know he or she is unavailable so a little something sweet is waiting upon return to the cell phone, home or office.

3. Send an email, or better yet, get old-fashioned and send a letter or a card through the mail to express your love. After all, who doesn’t love getting mail (well, except for bills!) as a surprise?

To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization I can’t control another.

To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it’s to make the most of myself.

top 10 aphrodisiacs

“There is no such thing as a true aphrodisiac,” Dr. Ruth (Westheimer) once said. The pint-size sex expert was being literal. By definition, an aphrodisiac arouses or intensifies sexual desire, and no herb or witch’s potion has been proven to do so. But why take the fun out of trying and spoil Valentine’s Day? Herein lies 10 touted love tonics, from hopeless fling to sure thing. – Christopher Wanjek, LiveScience’s Bad Medicine Columnist.

a little bit of bitterness

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

“Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”
—St. Augustine

i guess, almost all of us, are waiting for that perfect someone who will sweep our feet off the ground… lucky for those who have found them… too bad for those who have not, count me in…

some of us may find it at their first time, but mostly, went through a lot of pains and heartaches, to learn, to unlearn and to finally meet that special someone… its a process..
