3 New Dates to Go On
Make alone time more exciting with these creative twists on your standard plans: Instead of: Having dinner at the Italian place you always go to. Try: Having a picnic indoors. Grab a blanket, your favorite takeout, and a bottle of wine. Instead of: Taking a Sunday afternoon walk around your neighborhood. Try: Renting a bicycle for two and exploring. Feeling fearless? Hop on a motorcycle. Instead of: Spending the evening making polite small talk with other couples at a cocktail party. Try: Hitting a neighborhood bar for a you vs. him pool game (loser has to give the winner a full-body massage).



3 New Quickie Make-Out Moves
No matter how long you have, make it count with these fun, frisky suggestions: If you've got one minute: Kiss like you did the first time you really made out — pull him toward you by his belt, run your fingers through his hair. Relish the pleasure of kissing for kissing's sake. If you've got five minutes: Undress each other — but only halfway. Unbutton his dress shirt but leave the undershirt. Let him remove your panty hose but not your skirt. If you've never had a girlfriend (never mind just talking to a girl or standing next to a hot babe, that just doesn't cut it), you're probably the shy type, even if you think getting a girl's attention for a consecutive fifteen minutes is an exploit worth mentioning. If you've got ten minutes: If you prefer being by your lonesome self and taking care of your own business, then you lean towards the loner type. Although this doesn't necessarily mean you'll end up being an eternal bachelor, you very well might be on your way. You're the effeminate type Hop into the bathroom for a quickie shower à deux.



4 New Hugs to Try on Him
Make your embraces more meaningful with these suggestions from Mel Schwartz, author of The Art of Intimacy, the Pleasure of Passion.

The nurturing hug: When he's had a bad day, warm his spirit by placing his arms around your waist and cradling his head to your chest.

The time-out hug: When the house is too hectic to handle, hold each other tightly and lean in so you're supporting each other's weight. Listen to each other's breathing and forget about real life for a few moments.

The sensual hug: Rev up your sexual appetites by standing with his chest to your back. Have him wrap his arms around you while you both sway slowly. As he holds you, reach your arms behind you to gently caress his legs.

The soulful hug: Reconnect by wrapping your arms around each other's waists so you touch chest-to-chest. Rest your heads on each other's shoulders and feel your hearts beating together.



Fight Club
Here are some of the conditions where you ought to fight when you are in love.

1. "We got into an argument about which French fries are better -- MacDonald's or Burger King -- and we ended up breaking up over it."

2. "We were at a social gathering, and I felt he was ignoring me, acting as though he were the most important person in the room. After the party was over and he dropped me off at my place, we had another argument about me being anti-social, so I got out of the car and slammed the door so hard it broke."

3. "I had just gotten married in a private ceremony, and my husband and I came home to celebrate with a nice quiet evening , until his friend stopped by and spent the night with my husband while I fell asleep on the couch. I woke at 12 a.m. to find this guy still there, chatting with my husband. Is that romantic or what?"

4. "Our worst fight was about his brother using him. His brother borrows money and never gives it back. My man says family is family, and you have to help. I say his brother is an irresponsible spoiled brat, and if he always has someone bailing him out, he'll never learn to be responsible. We never really resolved this, but the problems ended when we moved far away from his brother."

5. "My worst fight was when my boyfriend decided to wash his car before coming in the house. It was my birthday, and he never even said happy birthday. So we yelled and screamed at each other, and then I found out he'd forgotten, and I cried sooo hard."

6. "The worst fight I got into with my boyfriend, now husband, was about me dancing with another guy. I dance kind of sexually. Anyway, my boyfriend freaked out when he saw me. The fight lasted for a groundbreaking week!"

7. "The worst fights we have concern his family. I was best friends with his sister before he and I hooked up, and then shortly before we got married, I became pregnant. His parents said a lot of things about me that I have been unable to forget, making me uncomfortable around them. He wants us to go on vacation with his parents and three sisters, and I know I can't take it. I usually leave his parents' house with a headache from all the yelling and arguing. I hate discord and that's what his family is all about -- lots and lots of discord."

8. "How often we have sex. After a long talk, we worked it out so that it doesn't seem too demanding for either of us. Learning to compromise was the big issue!"

9. "Our biggest argument is over disciplining the kids. My husband says I'm too easy; I say my husband is too harsh. We decided to take a parenting class through our church, and we've really learned some interesting and thoughtful things."

10. "Before we got married, my husband and I got into a fight over a Monopoly game. He wanted to play the game his way, and I saw it as cheating. He ended up quitting the game, which made me so mad, I told him I didn't want to marry him anymore. That night, we slept in different rooms, except neither of us could sleep, so we started talking about it and ended up making up."

Can't wait to share it with you. I love you. Let's spend more time together. It's my birthday. Let's enjoy it together. Let's escape together.

Thanksgiving Getaway for Two I'm so thankful that I met you, and count my blessings each day that we're together. It's been a while since we've celebrated a traditional evening as a couple. This Thanksgiving, let's take some time and treat ourselves to a getaway alone at a hotel or B & B.

Here are a few reasons:

We won't have to spend all day cooking - we can relax indoors together all day and all night.

Do you really want to see Uncle Herbert's dentures again?

We won't need to widen our waistlines to fit into our clothes.

Best of all, we won't be eating leftovers for a solid week!

Let's avoid the Thanksgiving turmoil and return to what's really important - a special moment just for the two of us!

A long weekend is approaching. Let's get away together!

It's easy to let the axe of everyday life grind at you by getting caught up in work and other daily commitments. Instead of doing the usual, let's take a flight from reality and get away this long weekend! I can't remember the last time we got away together for some R and R — and some TLC.

By taking a short trip away from home, we can:

fan the flames of passion in a spontaneous new setting escape the weekly routine discover how much fun we can have someplace new We've made many special memories together — let's make this long weekend one to remember

Let's Escape the Wedding Chaos

It's ironic that as we plan our wedding for "us," "we" aren't getting any "alone time." And while we used to talk about anything and everything, our conversations seem to endlessly revolve around:

buffet vs. sit-down chicken vs. beef DJ vs. band the eight-piece Royal Doulton vs. the 12-piece Royal Worcester Let's escape the wedding chaos and remember why we decided to do this in the first place — because we couldn't love each other more. I can't wait to marry you so let's spend a night alone focused on that.

We Need a "Date Night".

It's amazing how quickly life passes by; it's easy to get swept up in it. I can't remember the last time we went on a real "date." Remember those? I used to spend an hour getting ready for you. You took the time to shave and used a splash of cologne. I'd agonize over an outfit and you would make me feel beautiful no matter what I wore. We used to enjoy going out to some cozy little spot and talking the night away.

I need a night like that with you. We deserve it. What could be more important than the two of us? Let's start with one date and then make it a habit. I couldn't think of a better way to spend our time.

Our anniversary is coming up. Can't wait to share it with you. It didn't exist before we met and only we can share it. It's our most romantic day of the year. Some of the gifts are paper and wood but the only gift I want is time with you. Can you guess what day it is?

Let's make this anniversary our best ever.

I love you. Let's spend more time together.

Here are the top five reasons I think we need to spend more time together:

I have to look at your driver's license to remember how tall you are. I talk to your mother more than I talk to you. The cat has taken over your spot on the couch. When you left for work this morning, you gave me your business card. Wait, what was your name again?

I love you. I need more time with you.

It's my birthday. Let's enjoy it together.

As a kid, it meant balloons, streamers and a mean game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. Now it means so much more because I can spend it with you. Can you guess what "day" I'm talking about?

It's my birthday and the best gift you could give to me is time together.

Let's escape together.

What do these things remind you of? A warm fire Long walks Holding hands Quiet moments Great talks No interruptions

We need to get away. Let's escape together.

Flirting Tips for Girls Birds do it. Bees do it. In their way, even educated fleas do it. They flirt. Think of flirting as a silent but very visual language that creatures great and small use to indicate their interest in a particular member of the opposite sex. We flirt to announce attraction and to signal availability. It is a universal language spoken by all animals as well as humans, a kind of self-promotion advertising our fitness for a relationship and, sooner or later, for mating. Scientists now know that we flirt by trying out our sexual sundries without having to go all the way with every potential prospect — it's pretty much risk-free. What's more, flirtation kicks in automatically, at the instant of attraction, driven by primitive, emotionally reactive parts of the brain.

While flirting can be viewed as important business with serious goals in mind, it's also just plain fun. Men and women do it regardless of where it may lead because it's pleasurable and erotic in its own right.

How We Flirt ?

There are good reasons why our physical features play the greatest role in flirtation and our brains are tuned to respond to them. Just as peacocks are primed to pay attention to elaborate tail feathers, women may quiver at the sight of men with large, even features, square jaws, and big bones. They may actually rate such men as better prospective sex partners. One theory is that all of those large features are also signs that the creature has an immune system healthy enough to support such extravagant apparatus.

Similarly, by flaunting, say, our curves and swinging our hips from side to side as we sashay down the street, we do more than announce "I am an attractive and available woman." We call attention to important attributes. Scientists have established that a small waist coupled with ample hips — very curvy proportions — is a sign of both health and fertility in women. It's nature's way of declaring the likelihood that we are capable of bearing children and surviving to raise them. After all, nature has a big stake in the attraction matter — nothing less than the continuation of the species.

When a relationship gets under way, courtship follows, and two people can then apply more rational criteria in deciding whether a particular partner is lifetime-mate material. Also, more subtle signals come into play, like humor, intelligence, creativity, emotional sensitivity, and expressiveness. After all, they, too, figure prominently in our ability to survive the relatively complex lives we lead today.



Flirting Tips for Girls

Give clear signals. Men are notorious for misinterpreting signals from women. Make sure your flirting conveys the message you want it to (i.e., separate sexual flirting from friendly flirting).

Wear something eye-catching. If you want someone to approach you, it's much easier if you're wearing a conversation-starter (i.e., a fun hat, a crazy pin).

Feel good about yourself. Positively is contagious. When you flirt, feel good about yourself and others will feel good about you.

Separate yourself from friends. In general, men find women much more approachable when they are by themselves. This lessens the chance that he'll be rejected in front of an audience.

Check your voice. In Peta's own words: "Does your voice sound like a dental drill or do you wash people in waves of sensual sound?"

If you aren't interested, be polite about it. It takes a lot of courage to approach someone so be sure to turn him down in a way that you would appreciate being turned down yourself.

Be interesting by being interested. Flatter him by showing genuine interest in who he is — ask lots of open-ended questions. It will also tell him that you need a little more information before giving him your number.

Ask him what he enjoys doing. It's easy to rely on the good old opener, "So what do you do?" but, for some men, it translates into "How much do you make?" Because men are more activity-oriented than women, asking them what they enjoy doing will tell you more about what makes them tick.

Only give out your real phone number. If you decide to share this information, only give him the real thing or give nothing at all. Again, it takes a lot of guts to ask for a number so treat him the way you would like to be treated.

Make the first move. Peta's says that 95 percent of the men she's talked to would love to be approached by a woman. Chalk it up to another step forward for women's equality.

Be yourself. Be proud of who you are. Pretending to be someone you are not won't get you very far in a relationship.
