Secrets are very common in relationships, and when people hear or find out that their partner is keeping something from them they automatically assume the worst. However, just because you might find out that your man is keeping something from you; this doesn't always mean it is a bad thing.  Sometimes it can be something that they are hiding because they don't want to make you feel bad, or other times they are just too shy to tell you!  The most common secrets that men keep from women are these: 1. You aren't the only one that needs the Bathroom Ever since the first relationships, it has been common knowledge that women need longer to get ready for anything than men, and it is the man's job to wait. However, in the modern climate, men want to look as good as women when they go out, and this does take time.  As much as your man might let you have the bathroom for as long as you want without arguing, a secret of your man might be that he wants time to look good too, so do...

Article from  dating coach  James Bauer [1] "The barbecue at his friend's house was the last straw. Melissa had been hoping to spend some quality time with her new boyfriend Ryan. She’d had a busy week, and she just wanted to snuggle up on the sofa with him and watch a movie. Instead, they were at his friend’s house. It was 7pm, barbecue smoke was blowing into her face, Ryan had consumed a few too many beers, and she wanted to be home in her pajamas already. But Ryan was having fun, and she knew everyone would judge her if she told him she wanted to go home.  “I hate his friends,” she told me. “All they do is talk about stuff they used to do together. It’s like they’re rubbing it in my face that I haven’t known him as long as they have.” There was one friend that Melissa especially disliked, a woman Ryan had known since high school. She felt that this woman judged her and made her feel like an outsider. It didn’t help that the woman was gorgeous to boot. She decided she w...

Today I would like to share an article from Amy Waterman[1]. "Are you tired of being “nice”? You know what I mean: “I think you’re nice, but I’m just not attracted to you.” What does THAT mean? Does it mean he’s not attracted to nice people? Does it mean you should have been rude to him? Does it mean that your niceness is a liability? NO! Keep being the same beautiful person you’ve always been. It’s not your  kindness  and politeness that are getting in the way. Those qualities work in your favor. All he’s saying is he’s not feeling any CHEMISTRY. There’s no spark. There’s no heat. And before you jump to the conclusion that it’s because of how you look—because I KNOW you’re thinking that  —I have something very interesting to teach you… Have You Turned Off Your Desire? I first learned this concept from one of my favorite dating and intimacy coaches for men, Alex Allman. Alex teaches good guys—nice guys, guys who always end up being the friend rather than the boyfrien...

When you meet a guy, the very first question you ask yourself is: “Do I like him?” If the answer is yes, the next question is: “Do I have fun with him?” And if you start dating, you’ll eventually ask yourself the question: “Could I be with him forever?” At each stage, you’re looking for different qualities. When you first meet someone, you want to know if you have chemistry, if you’re compatible, and if your values align. As you get to know each other better, you want to know if you can communicate and work together and spend large amounts of time together without driving each other crazy. But that question of  forever  is the hardest to answer. How do you know that THIS relationship is the one? Every couple walks down the aisle expecting to be together forever. But many of those marriages end in divorce, despite those beautiful intentions. Could they have predicted in advance that their love wouldn’t last? Were they missing some special ingredient? I’m not in the business of ...

Let’s test your man knowledge! True or false? Men are not as emotional as women. Men prioritize looks in the opposite sex. Men think about you-kn0w-what every 7 seconds. If you answered  true  to all three questions, you’re in good company. We all know that men and women are different. Men tend to be more competitive while women tend to be more collaborative. Women tend to have better social skills while men tend to have better spatial skills. But what most of us get wrong is the  degree  of difference. If you compare women to other women, you find a much greater range of differences than if you compared women as a group to men as a group. Women and men are much more alike than they are different… Except that our similarities don’t make headline news. “Men—They’re Similar To Women!” For example, just because a man doesn’t show his emotions doesn’t mean he doesn’t FEEL emotions. Men experience emotions just as intensely as women (case in point: they’re more likely to ...
