Filed under: Uncategorized — gracejoyhienen at 12:08 am on Thursday, September 6, 2007

So, do you really need a love quiz to find out how well you know
your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend?  Even if you’ve been with
that special someone for many years, it may surprise you to find out
how much you don’t know about them.  Learning about your lover is a lifelong process, and every   romantic relationship can benefit from greater communication and familiarity that a love test can bring.

In addition to that, putting together a love quiz for your
sweetheart can be a fun, playful exercise that lets you and your lover
laugh together.  You shouldn’t look at a love quiz as a contest or keep
score of who gets more questions correct.  Instead, have fun filling
out the love test and reading your answers back to each other when
you’re done.   

So, what kind of questions should you include in a love quiz?  Well,
it could be anything that has to do with your relationship, personal
attributes, likes and dislikes.  Below are 35 questions you may want to
include on your love test or use as inspiration to write more of your
own.  Once you’ve written your own special love quiz, make two copies:
one for you and one for your lover.  Then spend some time filling it
out your love test and comparing answers.

Filed under: Uncategorized — gracejoyhienen at 12:08 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2007

So, are you one of the lucky people who’s found the man or woman of
your dreams? If not, don’t stress out . . . you’re part of a pretty big
club! Meeting that perfect person for marriage or to share your life
and passions with can take a lot of persistence and patience,
especially if you’ve been single
for a long time. Just remember: you need to have faith that there
really is someone who is meant for you . . . and dedicate yourself to
using romantic ideas to become the best person you can be for when you do finally meet them!

Until that time comes, though, there are a few things you can do to
make your life more fulfilling, more romantic, and make it more likely
for you to come across the person you’re meant to spend your life with.
None of them are hard to do, and all of them are guaranteed to make you
happier, more productive, and more fun to be around. In fact, even
people who aren’t looking for love could make their lives a heck of a lot better by following these five simple rules!

So be patient, concentrate on today, and use the five romantic ideas
below to help hurry along that day when you finally find that special
someone. Ask anyone who’s found true love: it hits you when you least
expect it! Make these habits a part of your daily routine and you’re
guaranteed to be ready when romance comes into your life.  Your future wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend will thank you for it!

Top Five Ways to Find the Person of Your Dreams

1. Be optimistic.
Optimistic
Sure, this rule is a simple one . . . but it’s first on the list
because it’s the easiest, most effective way possible to stay motivated
and determined to make yourself a happier, more successful person.
Studies have shown that it’s not your situation or circumstances that
determine how you feel, but rather the way you view them. Remain
certain that things happen for a reason, and that you can handle any
problem that life hands you, and you’ll be more prepared to impress
your special someone and be ready for love when it finds you.

2.  Learn to love yourself.Sp28_002

It’s true: that old cliche about “love thyself” is some of the best advice you can get if you’re looking to find that special someone.  Feeling good about yourself, and
being proud of yourself and the things you do, is one of the first steps you need to take in
nurturing a healthy romance with another person. By learning to
appreciate your own good qualities, you’ll be better prepared to use
them to improve your future romantic relationship.

3.  Immerse yourself in what you love.Woman_reading

Every one of us have unique talents and interests, and immersing
yourself in the activities you love will make you happier, more
skilled, and more attractive to that special someone when you finally
meet them. Don’t try to be the kind of person you think someone else
will want you to be; instead, concentrate on the aptitudes that make
you special and become determined to perfect those skills and make your
life better through them. When the time comes, the person you’re meant
to be with will recognize your uniqueness and love you more for it.

4.  Take good care of yourself.Exercize
We can’t all be supermodels, but exercising on a regular basis and
paying attention to your personal appearance will make you feel better
about yourself, give you more confidence and make you more optimistic.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that whoever you’re meant to be
with will fall in love with you at first sight even if you dress in
sweatpants and stop washing your hair. Sure, your special someone will
eventually love you for what’s on the inside, but you’ll make it easier
for them to notice you if you take a little pride in your appearance.

5.  Stop looking!

All of the previous four rules have one thing in common: you don’t
have to be looking for love to use them to improve your life and your
attitude. In fact, you’ll become a better person, and become more
attractive to other people, if you concentrate on bettering yourself
and stop worrying so much about finding someone. Become determined to
be more optimistic, appreciate yourself, immerse yourself in what you
love, take good care of yourself, and I guarantee that your special
someone will find you. True love happens when we least expect
it, so stop looking for it and start making yourself a better person
for when it finally comes!

Love at first sight: 3 ways to know it’s real

Filed under: Uncategorized — gracejoyhienen at 11:52 am on Tuesday, September 4, 2007

If you haven’t experienced it for yourself, you probably don’t believe
that Love at First Sight is real.  There are plenty of skeptics who
chalk it all up to lust or infatuation and refuse to believe that you
can really fall in love with someone the first moment you see them.

Oldfashionedromance                            

Throughout human history, however, the concept of Love at First
Sight has been lauded in countless stories, plays, books, films and
oral traditions. Poets and romantics
regard Love at First Sight as an unquestionable truth, and millions of
lonely people around the world pray every day that it will happen to
them.

So, how do you know if you’ve experienced Love at First Sight?
Well, if you have to ask, you probably haven’t.  But that doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t know the signs so you’re better prepared in case it does
happen to you.

The following are three undeniable ways to know you’ve experienced
Love at First Sight, and that your feelings for this new person in your
life may be more than just simple infatuation.  And before you roll
your eyes and underestimate the power of romance, be careful . . . Love at First Sight can happen to skeptics, too!

Top Three Ways to Know it’s Love at First Sight

1. You don’t want to rush things

This is an unmistakable indication that the feelings you have aren’t
just “Lust at First Sight.”  If the first thought in your mind is
getting physical, then it probably isn’t love.  But if you have an
overwhelming urge to get to know the person and take things slowly so
they work out, you may be dealing with something much deeper.

2. You see things in them that other people don’t

A person’s attractive physical qualities are something that anyone
can see and appreciate, but falling in love with someone means noticing qualities in them that no one else can see.  If you find yourself noticing attractive
qualities of a new person that your friends are blind to, you may be
experiencing Love at First Sight.

3.  You want to learn everything you can about them

This is a tricky indicator, because it’s also present in pure
infatuation, too . . . so be careful.  But if the two previous
indicators are present, then this one makes it undoubtable that you’ve
experienced Love at First Sight.

Falling in love with someone means wanting to know about everything
that makes them tick, from their likes and dislikes to their life
experiences.  Just be willing to learn about them slowly, be
understanding, and let Love at First Sight develop into a lifelong
romance!
