Romance

I met a great guy on a plane and we talked the whole six hour flight. We hit it off, but he never asked me about my family, so I didn’t tell him I have kids (I’m a single mom!).

We exchanged numbers, and have now started dating. Things feel so good between us — only I can’t seem to bring up my two kids. It’s like I’m afraid he won’t stick around, even though he’s given no indication that he’ll bail on me.

Should I just tell him already? Is it too soon?”

Dear MJ,

I really need your help before I up and walk away from my man. I’ve been dating this one guy for 15 months and I’m tired of feeling hurt and left out. He can come to my place and hang out with me, but I can’t go to his place because he doesn’t want to cause any problems with his kid’s mom. She wants him back, but he doesn’t want her because of what she did and what she doesn’t want to do.

I do love him, but…

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

What’s wrong, are you…

Why do men cheat? One of the most common problems that many single women face is simply how to keep a guy interested in a relationship. Are you suspicious of your boyfriend?

Here are three dead give-away signs that will tell you he’s not completely faithful with you.

Dead Give-Away Sign #1 – The Lack Of Communication.

He sometimes doesn’t communicate for a whole week. Sure, some men really do have demanding jobs, but if he takes more than a few days to reply to an e-mail or text, then he’s taking you for granted.

Dead Give-Away Sign #2 – He Had Sex…

1. Our habits and routines are set in stone. Please don’t even think of changing what we like to wear, do and eat. Tossing out those grimy sneakers will result in civil war.

2. Our health is not our problem, but yours (and please make it so). If we fall sick from eating or imbibing too much of the wrong things, we expect you to baby us, and to make us well. 3. If you want to be loved for more than your anatomy, don’t listen to the lady newscaster reporting on the imminent collapse of…

The 25 Life Saving Tips Every Woman Should Know. I probably have mastered about 3 of these but now I have a good starting point of what I should learn. I’m not sure that you all will agree with these but I felt that as a member of Girls Guide To I should share this list with you.

1. Applying blush

The right way of applying blush is an important lesson to know. You start by finding the right color for you. You can do this by…

  Some people don’t find it difficult to tell lies. They can lie to their friends, parents, husbands, wives, colleagues, bosses and even to men of God. Lie is one of the things God detest and even the holy book calls devil the father of all lies and it says that anyone who lies is the son of the devil. We went to town to ask people what they would do if they discover that their spouses lied to them about their ages. We came back with these views:

Discover these dealbreakers that will cool any flaming romance before it ignites!

In the beginning of any courtship, everyone shows up wearing their finest mask and putting forth their best foot. We all can agree that we have found ourselves attracted to someone of the opposite sex who appeared to be perfect on paper until we discovered a little more about him or her that was a complete turn off. We could list a number of deal-breakers that can be a killjoy to a new relationship, but below you will find some of the top four that will shut down…

I’m 45 and my wife is 41. We have daughters aged 21 and 19.

My neighbour is 38 and single. She is a full-time primary school teacher and cares for her elderly mother. She’s gorgeous and I could never understand why she’d not been snapped up.

She called me a few weeks ago to say that her mother had fallen out of her chair and asked me to go round to help her.

I was there in a flash and together we lifted her mum back up and she seemed OK. My neighbour got her mum into bed for a nap and…

With more and more people meeting online, long-distance relationships have become almost the norm these days. But as many long-distance couples soon find out, keeping each other happy when you live far away can present it’s own set of unique challenges.

Understanding how distance effects your relationship is the first big step. Couples who can’t be around each other all the time will lack certain things, from the intimacy of constant closeness to the comfort of face-to-face contact. Getting past these hurdles can be hard, and if you’re not careful, can tear the relationship apart before it really…
