So you want to please your wife and make her fall in love all over again? Check out these simple tips

- Buy her gifts. Buy her chocolates and flower. You’re probably thinking, “I already knew that!” Well do more than that, add a note or poem. Trust me, even if it is the worst love note or poem in the world, your wife will appreciate your effort and understand what you are trying to do. She already loves you, you just have to remind her how much she loves you. Give it a shot.

- Studies and experience shows that women love, absolutely love to talk about themselves. Be a good listener. The positive side of this is, you don’t have to worry about saying anything that might upset her. If she is talking to you and is upset, comfort her. Hug her and ask her what’s wrong. Also in between dialogue a simple, “i  understand”, or “uh huh”, is great. They will want to talk to you more.

- Compliment her but when she is happy.  It is better to make her delighted with a compliment while she is already in a good mood. 

- Don’t try to tell a joke or compliment her when she is upset. If she happens to change moods because of a joke, she might be upset about the same thing the next day. Just comfort her and talk to her and give her time to talk it all out. Also, stay close to her. Closeness builds relationships when one is in a bad mood and another comforts them.

- Let go- If you ever feel the need to tell her that she has a bad habit or feel the need to criticize, just let it go. Forgiving her mistakes will definitely make you a better husband.

- Agree with her. Women love to be told they are right. Although, this does not mean agree with her is she is doing something wrong, like take up smoking. 

- Don’t be a tough guy. When you are alone with her, be tender, nice, and comforting. These are one of the traits that every girl wants in her “Prince Charming”.

- There are many other ways but you probably already know them. Just knowing these tips doesn’t make you a good husband. Following them makes you a good husband.

If you have any other tips, please write them in the comments below. Good Luck to becoming you wife’s Prince Charming!

More often than not, a breakup is followed by a significant amount of time spent thinking about your ex and wondering whether or not you made the right decision in going your separate ways. Depending on how long the two of you were together, these doubts can resurface again and again.

Ever since you met this new one, however, the thought of getting back together with your ex is the furthest thing from your mind. Come to think of it, you barely recall what you found so great about her in the first place.

9. You can’t stop thinking about them

Instead, you are consumed by thoughts of them. They just pops into your head for no apparent reason, and you wonder if they think of you half as much as you think of them. You wonder what their up to and even consider calling them (but refrain from doing so for fear of looking overeager).

But it gets worse. You’re out with your friends and you see something in a shop window and think about how much she would like that particular item, or you notice a poster for a show that she would love, but normally wouldn’t even have looked twice at it.

If she’s the last thing on your mind before you go to sleep and the first thing on your mind when you wake up — and you’ve even dreamed of her on a couple of occasions — then you don’t really even need to read on to know if you’re in love (but should anyway, just to be sure).

8. You care about them

There is a reason why you don’t really want to know too much about that person you had a one-night stand with: You don’t love them. When you’re in love with someone, you want to know all about them: who they are, what they think, what make them laugh. You truly care about them and their feelings.

If you truly love a woman, you feel bad if she had a bad day or is upset about something. You don’t try to cheer her up because you have to, but because you can’t help it.

7. You find her quirks charming

The fact that she carries her passport with them everywhere they goes — just in case — and that, when she’s eating, they can’t help but construct every forkful so that it’s the perfect blend of ingredients fills you with an inexplicable feeling of happiness.

She does and says things that make her different, and you like it. You can’t quite put your finger on why, but it doesn’t even matter. You like her just the way she is.

6. You have great chemistry

You can’t be in love with someone that you have no chemistry with. If you seem to always be on the same wavelength, and think in similar ways, that’s a great sign. If you also generate enough heat to set off a five-alarm fire bell, then this is probably someone that you could fall in love with, if you aren’t there already.

5. You don’t notice other people as much

Did you see that gorgeous blonde girl/guy just walk by? What do you mean, “no”?!?

Although you can’t help noticing a beautiful person when one walks by, when you’re in love, some of them tend to slip under the radar, while others just pale in comparison to them. Furthermore, you don’t seem to be flirting half as much as you used to.

You are slowly realizing that she’s often the only person in the room that matters, and for some reason that suits you just fine.

4. You love spending time with her

This one is pretty obvious but important nonetheless. You look forward to seeing them, and don’t care much about what the two of you will be doing. Lately, just going for a walk with them sounds like the best way you could possibly spend an evening.

Furthermore, when you’re not together, you miss them and wish you were spending time together.

3. You don’t mind compromising sometimes

There was a time when it was your way or the highway, but with them it’s different. Not that they asks you to, but you don’t mind missing a night out with your friends to be with them. And you find yourself trying to incorporate them into your plans or altering them to accommodate them.

You also find yourself not putting up a fight when she wants to go to Shakespeare in the Park. Although your friends find this very amusing, you know that deep down, they wish that they had found a love like yours.

2. Other priorities take a back seat

You used to train religiously, but lately, if their free for dinner, you don’t mind missing a workout. Not only that, but your workaholic tendency of bringing home your work on weekends to get ahead seems a bit excessive to you as of late.

1. You start thinking about the future and their in it

It used to be that the future with someone meant your date on Saturday night, but with this person, the future seems infinite. Not only do you plan to see them this weekend, but you want to see them a year from now as well.

When planning your next vacation, you know you want to spend it with her, and not a random beach bunny you happen to meet while you’re there. And when you get an invitation to a wedding that takes place three months from now, you ask her to be your date without thinking that it’s too far away to tell if you’ll still be together.

She’s the one

If you are currently dating someone that makes you act in any of the ways mentioned above, then you, my friend, are seriously falling for them. It’s time to put away the little black book for a while and enjoy the ride.

In the film, we follow a grandfather reading a fantastical book to his grandson, the latter of which isn’t interested in “fairy tales” or “kissing books”. This story, in turn, follows two young lovers – Westley and Buttercup – who are torn apart by the tides of fate. Thinking Westley to be dead, Buttercup agrees to marry the loathsome Prince Humperdinck, so that he may inherit the throne to the kingdom. However, as these stories often go, it’s revealed that Westley’s been alive for years, living under the title of the Dread Pirate Roberts. Before Westley can go to confront Buttercup, she’s kidnapped by a group of bandits that look to seize a ransom from the capture. The story unfolds from this point in a graceful manner of storytelling that’s both comedic and charming.

The film’s characters and charm are what make The Princess Bride as enjoyable as it is. From the dashing hero Westley to the humorous supporting characters, the entire cast of characters fits into this story incredibly smoothly. There aren’t any superfluous people as each plays a role, small or large, in this tongue-in-cheek fairy tale. The characters may be archetypes, but these are the essential components of legends, fairy tales, and myths. They don’t have to be original to likable, and the characters in this film are certainly very charming.

The visuals themselves have a charming look to them, thanks to the film’s dream-like cinematography. The soft look of the film only increases the allure of the fairy tale, making it so that the film feels just as dream-like and sweet as a great childhood memory or story. I’m not saying that the film’s childish, but both children and adults can get something out of The Princess Bride. While the children will be dazzled by the soft-looking dreamworld, the adults can point out the sly jokes and get a laugh while traveling down lanes of nostalgia.

Speaking of the film’s humor, the style is very, very wry. Don’t expect to be bursting into laughter, as the film’s more subtle than anything else in this aspect. Poking fun at the tropes of the typical fairy tale, the film gets these jokes through via quick lines of dialogue or through the use of physical humor. Not exactly hysterical, but it’s not meant to be a gut-busting comedy either.

The film does, however, have some hitches in its execution. For the first part, the film gets very cluttered around the second act of the film. Instead of focusing on a single group or individual, the film switches back and forth between multiple people, narratives, and themes. It’s nice to see the film focusing on other characters, but the constant switching leads to each of the narratives being not as fleshed out as they could be. Not only that, but the film suffers from what many films in the ’80’s did, and that’s the presence of a cheesy synthesizer in the score. It may have been added intentionally, but its presence doesn’t serve to aid the tongue-in-cheek humor of the film at all. In other words, the synthesizer’s completely useless.

Though The Princess Bride has some hitches in its frame, it’s an otherwise great film. Stirring together elements of fantasy, adventure, romance, and comedy, the film is a charming and nostalgic look back at the stories that virtually all children grew up with.

Almost everyone in the world want to be noticed by others. This is one need that human want to accomplish in order to get a fulfilling life. When they start to be noticed, they will begin to react in positive way. The motivation  can make them go further in life, achieving something that once thought to be impossible. One of the way to get notice is to be charming. Now, what can you do to be charming in no time.

1) Think about someone that you and other people idolize today. What makes what they are? Is it their beauty, the way they talk, intelligence or what other criteria that you have been thinking of. Write that down and make  a list about that. This is your first list.

2) Think about someone that you and other people would describe as bad figure. Who are they? What makes people despise them? Write that down and make a list about it. This is your second list.

3) Now that you have both list, you are going to learn to be like the first list, first. If that characters in a celebrity, you have to watch all the dramas, movies or events that involve that person. Look closely at the best criteria that makes them admirable. Try to imitate this in front of the mirror. Make that as your own character.

4) Take the second list. That is the behaviors and characteristics that you have to avoid. Maybe you are doing some behaviors from the list without you notice it yourself. Now, this is the time to change it.

5) Practice makes perfect. Practice your lists everyday, so that they can become one with you naturally. We have the right to be a better person and it is time to be charming. Change for a better future and start it today.

Most guys tend to spout off about themselves without ever really caring about the opinion of the other person or people that they are talking to. Let’s take a short quiz;

• Are you doing other things when people are speaking?
• Is your mind wandering around; are you thinking about something or someone else when others are speaking?
• Do you fake listen so that you can get your own comments in?
• Are you just waiting for the first possible pause in the conversation so that you can enlighten others with your comments?

If you answered yes to any of the above then you are sorely lacking in listening skills my friend. And I can guarantee you that you are not going to impress that hot babe that you want to get a date with. You will just seem like all of the other pompous jerks that she has met before.

When you listen to someone, you have to learn to listen to them with your entire being. Make sure that above all you stay quiet and you let them talk without interruption. Do ask questions but after you do, learn to shut up. One of the worst things that you can do is to finish another person’s sentence, or blurt out an answer before the person has finished telling you their tale.

Do you want to do something great for someone? It’s a simple thing and it is possibly one of the best things that you can do to make another person’s day.  It doesn’t take very much really, but it is a skill, a skill that most of us have lost or perhaps were never taught. This skill is the art of listening and truly paying attention to the other person.

If you can do that then you will have that hot girl enthralled in no time. She will tell others how interesting you were and how sincere and warm you were.  You will then wonder about this, as I often have, because you will later recall that you had not said much at all. Perhaps you asked good questions, you made eye contact, and you repeated little phrases like; “really..”, “amazing..”, ”that’s horrible..”, or “wow!”

Learn to truly listen to girls and you will charm them every time.

2. Get your hygiene and styling sorted out

3. Sort out your job if you have one

4. Get your knowledge levels up

5. Do not extol the virtues of drinking in the bar 5 nights a week

6. If you love your sport then fine

7. Never expect sex on a first date

8. Sort out your educational knowledge of manners, courtesy and chivalry

9. Start listening and stop talking

10. Give up smoking now

11. Lean to dance even if you have two left flat feet

These rules are simply to protect your emotional state and to ensure even handed success.

1. Let the person with the child in the back seat have the parking space you spotted first. It means the same to them as it would to you, if you were out with your child. Sacrifice of self alleviates the soul of greed and petty worries about material gains. Done often (like the people who volunteer at soup kitchens) threaten to cure it almost entirely.
2. Even when you’re in a hurry, if you’re in your car, stop and allow pedestrians walking in the rain cross the street. There is no guarantee that the cars behind you would stop unless you do so, and make them have to. Forcing ourselves to wait, even when we’re in a hurry, develops patience
3. On paydays buy a take out meal for someone you think may be struggling. A person who’s just lost his/her job, a widow/widower, or a house bound neighbour. Not only would this help to give them a bright spark to an otherwise dull life, it would make you feel as though your wages have been fully and completely earned. We all have days in which we don’t do as much as we can at our work places. Finding time to balance this out, helps us to feel less slothful.
4. Pay for the stamps the pensioner beside you at the post office, is rummaging in his/her wallet for change to buy. Giving a little helps us to feel better about the many ways in which we over spend on ourselves. Putting a smile on someone else’s face goes a long way to putting joy in our hearts.
5. Offer to go to the weighing in of someone who’s trying but struggling to lose weight in their weight loss group, or offer to join the group with them. All they need is a bit of encouragement. Being a good friend, even when we don’t feel like it, cultivates within us, care and concern for other people. Even if your heart is not into it at first, like in every thing else, practise soon becomes perfection.
6. Now and then, send flowers to a friend who is single and finds it hard to date. On valentine day, send him/her chocolates and a card. This one is just to be nice, soon you’ll be thinking of lots more fantastic ways to be a friend.

   

7. Share something close to your heart with a friend who is struggling. Sometimes we need to hear about other people’s problems to put our own in perspective. We tend to think that we’re the only ones suffering out of the circle of our friends. When we hear about other people’s problems, ours don’t seem so depressing after all. It’s only human nature.
8. If a friend is having a wedding or sadly, a funeral, offer to transport their visitors or provide a couple of meals if you can. This goes a long way with someone who has a lot on their plate. Be dependable, someone people know they can always trust to be thoughtful. Let your name, when thought of, conjure up dependability, practically and honesty.
9. Have a “bashing” day for a friend who’s just suffered a break-up. If you’re a girl, invite her girlfriends over (if you’re a bloke, you may have to promise the blokes a slap up meal to tempt them over). Have a good rave of all the men you all have ever broken up with, or those who’ve left you. Organise a safe place to burn old pictures and little tokens of his she may have kept. Let her weep and have a good old cry all around. You’d be surprised how much this helps everyone involved. It’s great to enrich your funny mischievous side, and what better way to give vent to it, than to do so to help someone.
10. If you pray for or do something good for a person you do not like very much, you’ll find that the dislike you feel, ebbing away with every good deed/prayer. If this is someone you have to see everyday (colleague e.g) feeling better about this person would do you more good than it would them. Just to prove this wrong, try it!
