Don’t push your friend



Now when you make a move at a friend, you obviously know you’re taking a chance. And as with every other bet, there is a good chance that you may even lose. At times, your friend may just not be willing to look at you as anything more than just a friend. Unfortunately, you have to accept their decision. On the other hand, your friend may just burst out laughing or may even freak out. Give them time to make up their mind. They too may have feelings for you, but probably have never thought about it. So wait. It may take a while before they could give you any sort of an affirmation.



The fork in the path



Ouch… this is probably the hardest part of confessing your love. If it goes well for you, you may be the happiest person, but if it goes otherwise, then your friendship is definitely in for a new fork in the road. You may be separated and there may be certain awkwardness in your relationship (which can be healed back to normal with time) or you may even feel too embarrassed to face each other again, which means the end of the road for your relationship.



So what really happens next?




What happens next is entirely left how either of you feel about each other. It may turn out good or it may take a worse turn. I’ve been in these heart pounding moments too. And guess what? I still haven’t really hooked up with any of my friends. Somehow it just didn’t feel right after that incident with my best friend years ago. But, on the other hand, if I ever did come across that perfect friend who can blow me off my feet after I’ve weighed him with the pros and cons, I’d jump right into his arm even before he completes his proclamation of love. There’s no question about that. Admit it, when one of you starts looking at the other as something more than just a friend, the relationship has changed already, hasn’t it? It’s that stage when you can’t change it, nor can you get over it. So all I can say is, irrespective of whether it works out or not, try holding on and be there for each other. What’s the difference between lovers and best friends anyways? Just the fact you get to pull down your mate’s pants in the former

On the other hand, when you’re pals, you don’t really have to bother with the damn pants, you can still pull their leg!

The move from friends to lovers



Going out with a friend is something that needs a lot of thought. And if your friendship does mean a lot to you, think a while before making a move on a friend. Never forget that a relationship with a friend would never be the same if you ever split up someday. In most cases, friendships always have a way of twisting itself towards love, so if you want to make a move, do so with your own neck on the line.



Figure the feelings




Ask yourself one last time, are the feelings you have for your friend truly love, is it purely lust, or is it because of an emotional upheaval in your life? Sometimes, you could misinterpret your feelings when you feel more attracted to them all of a sudden, or feel jealous when they start going out with someone else. Be true to yourself about the origin of your feelings. You really wouldn’t want to propose only to find out in a couple of weeks that you really weren’t in love, and it was just an infatuation.



Speak your heart


Hey, it’s your friend we’re talking about right? So just speak your heart out and let them know exactly what you feel. Never go straight in and tell them about how perfect your life could be if the both of you could see each other. Do it as cautiously as possible. Take a few days or even weeks to express yourself, because rushing into it would only make the blow unexpected and harder to face, fir your mate. I mean, come on, it’s not everyday that they come across a best friend who has a crush on them, right? But on that final day when you feel your mate’s warmed up to hearing the words from the horse’s mouth, open your moth and neigh

The difference between friends and lovers

The difference between friends and lovers


There isn’t too much difference really. When you’re a good friend, for starters, you could ask your pal if they’re wearing that cute silk underwear they picked up the last time they shopped. But if you’re going out with them, you could probably take a peek too! When you’re a best friend, you share all the deepest secrets, you’re there for each other and you fight about nonsense. And when you go out with them, you do all of that and one thing more. You take each other’s pants off!

So you see, quite frankly there isn’t much of a difference. However much you’d want to deny it, the main underlying reason before wanting to go out with a friend is because you want to have a more body contact. Yup, that’s right. You want to get physical with a friend. There’s nothing wrong in that, so you don’t need to choke and behave like I said something rude. After all, it’s the emotional touch that satisfies a lover more than anything else.

A friend is a person who spends time with you, and is there by your side at all times, the good and the bad. A lover, well, usually has the biggest impact in bed.

If you ever want to hook up with a friend, look at it as a business proposition! Here are five considerations that you definitely need to look into before taking the plunge.

Do you have compatible personalities? Or do either of you have a few habits that totally piss off the other person? If you do, the chances of lasting can be slim

Are you willing to slide back and compromise? You may have a lot of chemistry, but without compromises, all the chemistry in the world can’t make a difference

Can you both trust each other? I mean completely, after knowing each other’s secrets. Or do you still think this person might pounce on another friend while your back is turned

Are you really in love? Or do you just have a fling in mind?

Do you think moving further from friends to lovers is a good option? Are there benefits other than just taking each other’s clothes off?!

Journey Of Love »-(¯`v´¯)-» From Friends to Lovers «-(¯`v´¯)-«

Have you ever sensed an awkward understanding between two people who are confused and wondering if they’re friends or lovers?


You may be one of those who feel that way about a friend.


So what do you do, take the plunge or brush the thought away? It all depends on what you want out of the relationship.



If you have ever taken the time to notice, and grope around a bit, you’d be able to see that there’s a distinct line separating the bonds of friendship and love. If you haven’t figured it out yet, look around. Haven’t you ever noticed two friends of yours who seem to be in love, but somehow are still friends? Or have you ever had a mild crush on a friend? Remember how weird it felt each time you hug them or held hands while crossing a street? Well, it’s embarrassingly stupid, isn’t it? You know the both of you should be in love, but yet, there’s that bond of friendship that seems to be holding you back. So what do you do about it? Do you just hold your fluttering heart in your hands until it regains its composure or do you fling it out towards that friend and hope they’d catch it? Let’s admit it. Would you catch a bleeding heart that’s thrown right at you when you least expect it? Perhaps not. So what do you do when you’re friends, but really have to be lovers?

Falling in love with a friend is like a little dance under the spotlight, especially when you don’t really know how to dance. You jiggle your feet awkwardly with your dance mate, and hope that the audience would never figure that you have two left feet. To your surprise, it wouldn’t take the audience long to figure your secret out. The same goes with awkward friendships. Haven’t we all noticed how easy it is for people to realize that there is something weird going on? Haven’t you ever been teased with someone, at the very first instance when you blushed or stared a wee bit longer at a ‘friend’?

So who do you want to be

A friend or a lover? Of course, you want to be a lover, don’t you? You… you naughty little bunny! Hey, I’d do the same if I were you, pal. So stop with the ‘I-am-not-such-a-perv’ class act. Listen wanting to go out is sweet, getting physical and cuddly is sweeter, but there are a few things you need to know before you take the icy plunge. First of all, ask yourself if your friend’s love is truly what you need. Do you get jealous when they hook up with someone else, or do you want to go out with them each time they run back to you crying, after another break-up?

Going from friends to lovers is a big transition, and it really depends on a lot of other circumstances too. And it’s tricky business. And most importantly, you need to remember that a lover and a friend are two different people, even if it’s the same person. The author narrates ...... I remember one time when I hooked up with a friend a few years ago. He was what I had always wanted, sweet, charming and full of wit and humor. But once we did start going out, I saw that he was quite egoistic and stubborn, just like me. We used to argue a lot, and eventually, eight months after hooking up, we ended the relationship. It was a bad way to end something that had lasted six years. We used to like each other a lot when we were friends, but falling in love with each other asked for a lot more than just fun times in the open. And the most important thing that both of us overlooked in love was compromising for each other.

Today is the Best Day of My Life

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!

And because I did I'm going to celebrate!

Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart.
I will marvel at nature's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile.
I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.

Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down.

I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me.

I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.
And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens.

I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise nature for these magnificent treasures.
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.

And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

"How To Love Yourself More"

Ever wondered about loving yourself more?

Here's a short article on "How To Love Yourself More"

Love is so much more than the word used to denote it.


Love.
To many it is just a word.
A word that signifies pain, lies, hurt and so many other similar conditions.
To others, the word love conjures scenes of fairy tales and castles in the sky.
Living happily ever after.

The first thing to look at - do you see love as the substance of pain and lies and deception of others?
Or do you see it as the light of delusion in a fairy tale world?

What's your first reaction?
What does your gut tell you?

Substance or light?
Is love painful?
Or is love a fairy tale?
Once you know which of these two you tend to gravitate towards, then you can work with it.


Here's how:-

If your initial tendency is to gravitate more towards the substance - if you believe love is painful - then sense yourself walking into the 'mud' of love's pain.
Keep walking.
Feel the stories you tell yourself about 'how love is'.
About how love 'always goes'.

Feel it as intensely as you possibly can.

Then walk out the OTHER SIDE of the mud.
Imagine yourself being lifted into the light of love.
Be filled with the light-ness of love.

Feel that feeling as long as you can:-
You, in the light of love.

Maybe spend five minutes on the whole experience.
Just find a quiet time and space, perhaps turning off the phone and the lights, so you'll have a few minutes alone.
Relax your body and your heart and your mind.
Get centered.
Then start by imagining the 'mud' that makes up love.

If you do this, you will be balancing out your love -
so you'll be able to feel more of it.

Or, if you tend to see love as more of a fairy tale
- start by feeling yourself being drawn into the clouds.
Imagine yourself floating through those light clouds.
Feel whatever feelings come up, as intensely as you can.
Prince Charming, Cinderella, whatever...

Then imagine yourself going all the way THROUGH those clouds and out the other side.
Next, see yourself descending down to the ground and into the substance of love.
Surround yourself and fill yourself with any and all feelings and thoughts that come up.
Stay there as long as you can.

Again, the whole exercise need take no more than five, maybe ten minutes maximum.

That's how you balance the light and substance of your love.
It's one way to feel more love.

Also, start giving yourself permission to feel the love.
Otherwise, you probably won't be feeling much of it.

You can't just say the words.
You've got to really mean it.

"I truly and honestly give myself permission to feel more of my love."
Be deliberate; forceful; in charge.

"Subconscious mind - I'm speaking to you!
I give myself permission to feel the light of my love and the substance of my love.
I want you to start breaking down the walls that stand between me and my love."

I give myself permission.

That's the second thing you can do to feel more love.
Practice giving yourself permission to feel the love.

"I give myself permission to feel the love."

You can NOT say it too many times!
Ten times a day, minimum, wouldn't hurt.
Could you say it once an hour, and mean it?

I give myself permission to feel the love.

Could you write those words down in big bold letters on a piece of paper and tape it to your mirror?
It can help.

For best results, also spend time to balance out your love.
This will help remove the 'twist' and the 'weight' that we all put on love...

So you can experience a cleaner version of your love –
so you will *want* to feel more of it.

The permission and the balance.
They feed on each other.

Practice these two simple techniques and watch the love in your life increase.
The more love you allow, the more others will love you.

The more love you feel, the better and the easier your life will become.
The more powerful you become.
The more emotional muscle you'll have.
You will become stronger on the inside.
You will drift less.

You can anchor to your love.
It can be part of the foundation for your life.
