Most communication is corporal. Woman say more than meets the eye … In this case the ear. What is that she really means? Observe her body language.

1. She crosses her arms – When a woman on a date places her hands in front of her body — especially if they are crossed — she is closing herself off from the man. If you get this red flag, you don’t stand a chance… and she wants you to know it. Men are not nearly as perceptive as women, so even if she’s not consciously aware of it, a woman knows her body language needs to be very loud.
2. She places her bag between you two – If she puts her bag on the table it is always a bad sign. If your date places her purse — a real and physical barrier — between you two, she’s showing she wants to create distance.
3. She speaks faster than an auctioneer – So she seems to love talking to you? Before you break open the bubbly, note the speed of her small talk. Romantic conversation does not occur at the same speed as business conversation. Conversation between two people who are attracted typically slows to about three-quarter speed and softens. In fact, most emotional conversation — with the exception of very hostile conversation — is at a slowed cadence. That said, she may be nervous early in your first date, and her nerves can cause her to spit her sentences out rapid-fire. But if by the end of the evening she’s still going at a rapid rate, consider it a clue that she just wants to be friends at best.
4. She offers you a chin-up smile – Though it’s tempting to interpret any old smile as a sign of interest, all smiles are not created equal. Smiles can say a lot — “I’m polite,” “I’m crazy about you,” and, believe it or not, “I can’t stand you.” The secret to decoding what her smile really means? It’s all in the chin placement. A woman who gives you a relaxed, chin-down “soft smile” is smitten and wants you to dig her back. A full-on toothpaste grin or stiff and polite smile — both of which generally involve the chin raised up — mean either “I like you as a friend” or “I wanna get out of here!”
5. She strokes her neck - If your date’s telling you she agrees that you should get together again, that’s a good sign, right? Maybe. Her body language may be the key to the real truth. If a woman is gently stroking her neck when telling you this, it may be a sign that she’s interested, but it is also known to be a sign of lying. To figure out which message she’s sending, consider the aforementioned “she’s not into you” signals. If she’s also giving you the raised-chin smile and speaking to you over a giant purse, you may want to move on to your next prospect.

Most men have a hard time picking up a gift for the dreaded Valentine’s day. Women like to be surprised in Valentine’s day. Last Valentine’s day I invited my significant other to go out for dinner at a Latin restaurant and then go dancing for the rest of the night.

Unfortunately, I had to stay late at work and didn’t have time to shave.

Despite looking sexy rough (at least that what I thought) she complained about of not bringing chocolates and roses.

- “Where is your tie? You didn’t shaved. Where are the chocolates? -

For a moment, I felt my efforts to spend a special night with her were not appreciated.

We men, have a hard time trying to figure women out. We don’t read minds and it seems the expectations for this day are really high.

What to give her on Valentine’s day?

No, that set of cooking pots will not do.

It’s often recommended that guys should not ask their significant other what she wants for Valentine’s Day because it will ruin the suspense. Women love anticipation, it gets them excited. For men struggling how to decode her mixed signals we provide with the following tips.

No Money Down

An immaterial gesture or expression could be a thoughtful one.

• Bring her breakfast in bed or prepare a light but elegant dinner.
• Offer a massage but not the type of massage you are thinking; a real massage. Buy a book if necessary, candles and massage oil.
• Some websites might recommend a hand-made love coupon … forget it. Love coupon screams last minute
• Don’t send emails or ecards. Put the extra effort and write something by hand, a hand written letter. For inspiration think about of things she pays special attention about her looks, interests and personality. Remember the reasons why you are attracted to her and write it down. Stay witty and romantic, not vulgar.

Simple but Meaningful

If your lady is simple, she will appreciate any small and simple gift.

• Glass of wine in romantic set with live bossanova or jazz music
• A simple rose or an orchid
• A framed picture of each other

Blind dates are becoming the norm nowadays with the rise of internet dating sites. It could be stressful to meet a stranger that might be a potential life partner. Generally, speaking most people go to restaurants for the first date, a blind date. Shields are up and masks on while going through the process of trying to enjoy a meal while controlling stomach noises or potential food accidents.

It is a stressful time for men and women.

Instead, do something fun. Remember, fun, fun, fun, shut up and engage rule of dating. Girlfriendpedia does not recommend going to a restaurant for a blind date. Some women see a blind date as an investment of time since the baby clock is ticking. Therefore, a blind date in a restaurant could come across as a job interview … a job for life.

Relax and enjoy the date by being yourself. You don’t want to set up a trap or raise the expectations so high it will be stressful to keep up with when things are not so pretty or perfect.

For the first meeting, suggest going to places such as;

Lindsay Lohan is now dating Samantha Ronson for some time now and they seem to be surviving the up and downs of any relationship pretty well.

Recently, Lindsay spoke out against the constant criticism and rumors surrounding the couple.

They are doing just fine. Curiosity, it is an age thing.
