My BMI is on the lower side of normal, and my friends tell me I'm quite thin, and I eat healthily and do lots of exercise, and I'm reasonably happy with the way I look.

But my parents are constantly throwing in comments like 'You're not as slim as you used to be' and 'Maybe you should do some more exercise, you're looking a bit..y'know..'
My mother only actually called me fat once, but it's all the implications of the other things she says.

I lost nearly a stone last year, and she still carried on with the comments

How am I supposed to know that I'm too big?]]>

２．Do things together. Defy the distance. As a long distance couple, it's important to do other things together besides the usual phone call. In a long distance relationship, interaction over the phone can become dull in the long run. Incorporating other forms of interaction are important. Just think... People in short-distance relationships do not spend the majority of their time talking, but rather doing things with each other. Try to replicate this by finding things to do together such as watching a TV show or movie simultaneously.

３． Communicate in some way every day, more than once if possible. Since you won't be seeing each other, it's important to establish and maintain an emotional connection. These don't always have to be long, in-depth conversations. Tell each other about your little triumphs and tragedies. Ask for advice. Use an instant messenger program or VoIP for real-time chat, or web cams for that visual connection. E-mail is great so make sure you use it, especially if long-distance phone calls put a strain on your budget. Remember that e-mail and even instant messengers can increase the possibility of misunderstandings. Write love letters. Send small gifts or flowers for no reason. In this case, quantity is as important as quality. You may discover an advantage over others whose partner is close at hand - you don't take communication for granted!

4
Take advantage of the benefits a long distance relationship offers: more time with friends and/or family, no arguments over toothpaste caps, the pleasure of seeing your sweetheart again after a long absence, time to mull your options (rather than snapping at your partner impulsively) before you respond to that email s/he wrote that seemed so rude the first time you read it, etc. Most important, being far apart gives you a chance to maintain your individuality - something that can get lost in the shuffle when couples spend all their free time together. Here are additional benefits of long distance relationships.

5
Pursue common interests, even if it means pursuing them apart. If there's a movie you're both interested in seeing, watch it individually and then call each other afterward and talk about it. Read a certain book at the same time. Stargaze while you're on the phone. Set your watches to go off at the same time every day, and synchronize your alarm with that of your partner. Make it a point to think of each other when your watch goes off, and revel in the fact that he or she is thinking about you, too. Find creative ways to bond.

6
Avoid the temptation to be controlling. People have free will and no one can or should control another person. As long as you are both interested in being in the relationship, you will stick with it and distance will not make a difference. As soon as one of you decides the other is not a good match - or someone else is a better match - your relationship ends, whether you live 3000 miles apart, two streets over, or share the same bed with your wedding picture on the wall. You are going to have to trust each other completely if this relationship is going to work.

7
Talk about your future together. Assuming that ultimately you'd want to live together, discussing how you're going to get to that point will help you prove to each other that the relationship is going somewhere and that your efforts and frustrations are not in vain.

8
Remember: Things will get better with time, and even the relationship will become better. Have hope.

9
Visit often. Try to make the time to visit each other as often as possible or as often as your budget permits you to. A relationship cannot thrive if the only thing you have is the phone call. You need to see each other up close and personal every chance you get. The key here is to set up some "rules" about frequency of communication and visits and stick to them, consistency can help an LDR survive.

10
Avoid jealousy and be trusting. One of the easiest ways to destroy a perfectly healthy relationship is to poison it with jealousy and drama. When you start a long distance relationship, you must be realistic of the difficulties ahead. It always helps if you go in a relationship with the idea that everyone is innocent and worthy of trust until proven otherwise. Don't fall in the trap to interrogate your partner every time he/she decides to go out for a drink with people you haven't met or he/she didn't get back to you right away when you called and left a message. Just because you are in an LDR, your lives won't pause. Your partner will naturally have a social life where he/she lives and so should you. Sure it helps to have your eyes open and not be totally naive but being overly suspicious is unhealthy for you and your relationship too. You should both maintain your social activity and be happy with yourselves.

11
Be positive. Staying positive and not focusing on the negative aspects of an LDR is essential to keeping your relationship blooming and your partner content. Being away from your sweetie is not all bad news. Use the opportunity of personal time to pursue your interests and hobbies as well as your career objectives. Another positive point is that long distance dating pushes both of you to be more creative, communicate better since you don't have "face-to-face" time and test your feelings. As long as you see the long distance relationship as a temporary state, you will keep your chin up and transmit that feeling of security and happiness to your partner too.

12
Give them a personal object of yours so in a time of need, where they miss you, they are able to hold on to something that once belonged to you. This will provide comfort, happiness, and the thought of being with you.

13
Long distance dating is all about a balanced relationship between partners; a relationship built on strong foundations of trust, understanding and determination to make it work. The two partners should be reasonable about their expectations and willing to cooperate so that this relationship can lead to a happy ending. If these parameters are taken care of, you have nothing to worry about. But don't forget to ask some questions because if you don't, your partner may start to think that you're losing interest. For more information about long distance relationships, go to this Long Distance Relationshipscommunity website.

14
Create your own set of relationship standards that both of you have mutually agreed upon. That creates a common goal for you to work towards developing a strong relationship whether you are together or apart. For example, ...agree to disagree, accept each other as you are, trust and honesty, compromise and self-sacrifice, spiritual unity, open communication.

Jay (we'll call him), is 24 and a bit of a partier who lives in West Hollywood. I met him at a bar when I was talking to his friend that introduced me to Jay. It was immediate sparks, he's dark skin, fit and gorgeous, pretty much physically the man of my dreams. Jay told me he was glad his friend introduced us because he would have never had the confidence to approach a girl that looked like me. He offered to buy me a drink and we talked for quite a while. Later, I joined my girlfriend and some other guys approached us. Jay wandered over and made himself present to signal that I was with him. It was a little forward, but it didn't bother me since I was really into Jay, and not the other guy. Later, my friend and I joined Jay's group again. His friend who introduced us put his arm around me. Jay immmediately pulled him aside to tell him that he was interested in me (in a nonconfrontational way). When we all left the bar he literally swept me up and carried me across the street saying he was going to "buy me pancakes." Our group ate at IHOP, and he fed me my entire meal!

He has asked me out on several occasions since then and I have declined. On Valentine's Day a week later, I went out for drinks with single girlfriends and we stopped for late night food. He texted to ask what I was up to, and before I had a chance to invite them to join us, they beat us to the restaurant we were walking to. It was really sweet that he wanted to see me so badly on Valentine's Day. And he didn't try to put any moves on. He said he was just "excited to see me."

Here are some of the comments he has made (keep in mind there has been alcohol involved)- "I'm mesmerized by you," "we would have beautiful kids" and "you'll never get rid of me." I barely know Jay and if I weren't crazy about him already I'd probably go running in the other direction. Help, I don't want to get hurt!]]>

Anyhow, there is a girl at work that I am interested in. We have a lot in common, email back and forth and sometimes chat online. Here is the problem. She has a boyfriend. However, she shared with me that she is not very happy with him. I don't know if she will breakup with him or not. My goal is not to get involved with someone who has a bf. In addition, she does not know I broke up with my gf. For some reason, I just didn't want to tell her yet. Some of the reason that I didn't tell her was that I just didn't want to share this with a lot of people, even her. I can't really explain it.

Anyhow, I am not sure what to do? I kind of what to let her know I have feelings for her. But at the same time, I don't want to come across as a creep. Someone who quickly broke up with his girlfriend and now wants to be with her. Also she does have a bf, so it might be weird. What should I do? Should I ask her to hang out, but as friends only? Should I say something like I really enjoy your company and wish to spend more time with you? Right now, I haven't said anything. I don't want to mess up. It's hard for me to have these strong feelings and not be able to share them with her. I feel like I could mess up a good friendship and also hurt my credibility.]]>

Here is the situation: I went on 4 dates with this girl. The last one was our Valentines Day celebration. We went to a beautiful dinner on the Hudson River with a view of the NYC skyline. She later told me that it was the best Valentines Day weekend ever!

We average 1 date per week (usually Friday nights), but during the early week she never wants to hang out. It seems like she is limiting me to only 1 day per week.

So far its been about a month... We have not kissed yet. When we are together it is comfortable and conversation is good. I believe she is interested in me, and I am certainly interested in her. I want to kiss her, but I am just not getting that feeling that I am welcome to kiss her.

Should I talk about it with her and see where we are headed in a relationship? Just wait and "I'll know when the time is right?" Or should I just assume that she wants to and give her a kiss?

One girl once told me a story of a guy who "stole a kiss" from her, and I do not want to do the same thing. I want to feel welcomed to kiss. How do I go about gaining that "invitation"?

Thank you!]]>

Through my company, I haven lucky to have had the opportunity to live in different corners of the world and experience many different cultures. Getting to see multiple cultures ads more knowledge but also sometimes makes you ask questions.

While living in Europe I was lucky enough to have meet a very smart and gorgeous women, we dated for a few years when I asked her to marry me. After getting married I was relocated back to the US and my company took care of the paperwork and she moved with me.

One of the things that I can say happened personally to me and to some other co-workers is that we started preferring dating European women and no longer even consider dating American women.

Trying to figure out the cultural difference's between European and American womens to try to figure out "Why?", why we don't date American women. So we decided to post a topic to find out more.

Here is a comparison of what we have come up with, again this are just general and some of them might be a stereotype. But that is why we want to discuss them here.

- Most European women are very Independent, they want to have some life outside of the relationship. American women want to do everything as a couple.

- Most European women prefer to be financially responsible, like they would rather pay for their own dinner when in the US, its automatically expected that guys have to buy gifts and pay for dinner.

- European women prefer to be healthy, have very active lifestyle. Going to the gym, biking and walking is the thing to do. I am not saying that all American women are not into a healthy lifestyle but its certainly a small percentage in comparison. Unfortunately for some of my friends who married American women once they got married they gained weight... blaming it on childbirth and things like that when I can say for a fact from my and my friends European wifes that after child birth after some months they where back to their previous weight without even trying but just because of their healthy lifestyle.

- In Europe, its common for couples to live together and of course have sex before they are married, I think thats great because you get to know what it is to marry someone, no surprises. But I noticed in America that is a taboo specially around Christian's who look down at those who live together or are sexually active with their loved ones before they are married. How can someone make a lifetime commitment before knowing what they are getting into.

The guys I work with have discussed this greatly, which I think its great to know people I can be that comfortable with the only negative thing that has come out of it is that we have discussed this with other's at work who have divorced their American Wife and re-married European. I don't think thats cool but they are happier now.

All I can say is that I am madly in love with my wife, my wife means everything to me.]]>

Trying to figure out the cultural difference's between European and American womens to try to figure out "Why?", why we don't date American women. So we decided to post a topic to find out more.

Here is a comparison of what we have come up with, again this are just general and some of them might be a stereotype. But that is why we want to discuss them here.

- Most European women are very Independent, they want to have some life outside of the relationship. American women want to do everything as a couple.

- Most European women prefer to be financially responsible, like they would rather pay for their own dinner when in the US, its automatically expected that guys have to buy gifts and pay for dinner.

- European women prefer to be healthy, have very active lifestyle. Going to the gym, biking and walking is the thing to do. I am not saying that all American women are not into a healthy lifestyle but its certainly a small percentage in comparison. Unfortunately for some of my friends who married American women once they got married they gained weight... blaming it on childbirth and things like that when I can say for a fact from my and my friends European wifes that after child birth after some months they where back to their previous weight without even trying but just because of their healthy lifestyle.

- In Europe, its common for couples to live together and of course have sex before they are married, I think thats great because you get to know what it is to marry someone, no surprises. But I noticed in America that is a taboo specially around Christian's who look down at those who live together or are sexually active with their loved ones before they are married. How can someone make a lifetime commitment before knowing what they are getting into.

The guys I work with have discussed this greatly, which I think its great to know people I can be that comfortable with the only negative thing that has come out of it is that we have discussed this with other's at work who have divorced their American Wife and re-married European. I don't think thats cool but they are happier now.

All I can say is that I am madly in love with my wife, my wife means everything to me.]]> http://kisspub.com/Thread-should-i-date-this-man Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:39:43 -0600 http://kisspub.com/Thread-should-i-date-this-man recently i ran into him in an art museum. i was dressed nicely, had heels on etc, and he didnt recognize me. this time, he's hanging on my every word and acting like i'm the most desirable woman on earth. he calls and emails that he wants to go out with me.
while i still think he has those same qualities that i admired in him when we first met, i cant get over how badly he treated me the first time because i didnt fit his image. it bothers me that he is so superficial that he made an instant judgement of me based on my kind of rough appearance the 1st time and didnt listen to a word i said.
sd i go out with him? or sd i cut him dead, the way he did to me? actually, i've decided on the latter. but what do you think?]]> recently i ran into him in an art museum. i was dressed nicely, had heels on etc, and he didnt recognize me. this time, he's hanging on my every word and acting like i'm the most desirable woman on earth. he calls and emails that he wants to go out with me.
