One day when Maaku was looking around some of his father’s stuff, he realized that his father was into some freaky stuff. He had pictures and journals of the things that he did. It was after reading a list of girls and what they were good for that Maaku figured out that his father was into BDSM. It was a secret that he had kept from Maaku’s mother. All the different things he did with each girl and some men, started to turn Maaku on. He read about each time his father did something and when he saw something that he wanted to try out. After reading everything and looking at the pictures many times, Maaku decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and became a master as well. He showed Creed everything and Creed agreed to help him because a good master. They went around in places that they shouldn’t have gone to at the age of 12 to ask around how to become a master. Both Creed and Maaku learned a lot and found a lot of people that would serve under them. All of this was going good for Maaku until the day he turned 17.

 Maaku didn’t know that his mother was starting to get her life together because he was always out with Creed and his slaves making sure they obeyed him and her. Since he always stayed over at Creed’s house he didn’t realize that his mother stopped drink and started to work. When he came home one day to get some stuff that he had in his room, he saw that everything was packed and ready to be moved. He was shocked and asked what was happening. His mother told him that they were moving and he was going with her. Maaku tried to get out of it, but there was no way to do it. So Maaku and his mother left the state they were in and moved all the way to Washington where Maaku was enrolled into an all boys school. Now that Maaku was in a new state, he had to start his creditability all over again.

Okay, I swear I think my heart is going to beat out of my chest.  Are my palms sweating?  Geez I think I have a spot on my skirt.   Oh my Gosh!  Am I getting a pimple? Yes, you guessed it.  Its a first date.  Then there is the constant watching the clock.  Wondering if he will show up.  Wondering if he will show up on time or be late.  Does he even want to go out at all?  He’s going to see me peeking out the window every 10 seconds   All  this pacing has made my curls fall out.  The sweat on my face has made my make up need refreshing and I haven’t even stepped out the door yet.

Okay, calm down I tell myself.  First off, there was an attraction between the two of us.  That’s what made us get to this point.  Secondly, he made the first move,  he called me!  If there wasn’t an attraction, he wouldn’t have called, right?  Thirdly, we talked several times on the phone and we know there was a mutual attraction.  That’s what you need as a base for a relationship, right?  I know that when we talked he was attentive and interesting.  So, we have the first glance which led to the attraction, the next move which was the phone call to show further interest, and then the actual “he asked me out”!

Its a wonder that people ever get together, past  the first date.  First dates are the most nerve wracking experiences.  You are just taking those first baby steps to get to know each other.  So what do we do?

Be on time.  If you say you will pick someone up at 7:00, be there as close to 7:00 as you can.  Don’t be early and catch the other person unaware.  They might still be in their underwear and hair rollers.   Show up late, and that person is going to start wondering if you ever wanted to go out.  It also makes people think, hummm is he always like this (unreliable).  First impressions are lasting impressions.

Be clear on where you will be going so you can dress appropriately.  You don’t want to be caught in faded, torn jeans when he walks you into some fancy restaurant, and vice-a-versa, you don’t want to be decked out in all your finery and he takes you to an outside carnival where you will be walking around in the grass in  your new high heel shoes.  

Discuss between you the things that you like and dislike.   You don’t want someone to take you out for Chinese food if you hate it and you know there’s not a thing on the menu that you will eat.   You wouldn’t want to go out to an expensive Seafood Resteraunt  if the food makes  you break out in hives.  If its a subject you had never discussed, then I guess, grin and bear it.  Make the best of it, but if you really like the other person, bring up the subject before you go out again.

Sometimes it is nice (if you really like the person), to bring the girl flowers.  Yes, flowers are the way to a girls heart, just as food is the way to a mans. (okay that was a joke).   Also, if you’re comfortable doing it, a bottle of wine might be nice to help the mood.   (I would definitely make sure each of you are on the same page in regards to drinking however.  You don’t want someone not seeing you again because they think you’re a lush)

Most importantly, relax!  Relax and enjoy each other’s company.  If there is something there, the mood will be light, the conversation flowing, and at the end of the night…… well, we will let you decide what is next….

I have fallen in love with my best friend. It has been about 2 years that I have felt this way about him. I met him 3 years ago because he was dating one of my other good friends, and he would come to me for support and advice in what to do in their relationship, when they were having trouble, or he just came to me for ideas on how to make her happy. But when they broke up he still came to see me, and cried on my shoulder when he was upset that she left him. That’s when it all started. I felt sorry for him. And each moment we spent together made me like him even more. One point over the summer he would come over to my house and we would dance to music, and sing slow romantic songs to each other. Then he gives me this look like he wants to kiss me I could tell something was there, then starts to lean over and gives me a hug, and tells me we need to find you a boyfriend.

Then one day when he was leaving my house he gives me a hug and says goodbye and as he was pulling away I kissed him on the lips. He just kinda grinned and walked away. I thought he liked me too, so I had one of my friends talk to him about what happened and he says he likes me, and will talk to me later, and never did. So I decided to talk to him about it and he said that we were too good of friends to date.

He doesn’t want to ruin the friendship, cause of the things that will happen physically, might makes us feel weird if we should happen to break up. Also he doesn’t want to hurt me. So we just stayed friends, and he dated other girls and he came to me for advice and for a shoulder to cry on, knowing how I felt about him.

Seeing him bring his girlfriends to my house broke my heart. But all I did was smile, and acted like nothing was happening to me. And seeing him getting dumped and treated bad by these other girls made me hurt inside cause I knew that I could love him better than that. And caring for him so much made my feelings stronger for him.

Somehow, he wanted me to start doing sexual favors for him, and my other guy friend told me that it was a bad idea, and that he thought I was going to get hurt, but I ignored him. I started doing sexual favors for him. Just little things. But this past month, it has gone further. I gave him my virginity.

Knowing the circumstances I did it anyway. And yes it made things worse about how I felt. And we continue to do it also. But one of my girl friends asked him the other day if he was ever going to hook up with me. Or if he even liked me one bit. He didn’t fully answer the question. He said that he wished people would quit pushing him to like me and that he doesn’t think that it will happen. To me it sound like he is scared that he does like me. Or he sounds confused in what he wants.

But no one is pushing him to like me, we are just curious of how he feels. And I am confused, and don’t know what to do. I have been trying to forget about these more than friend feelings I have for him but they won’t go away. I don’t know how to make them go away. We live in the same neighborhood, see each other everyday, and spend almost every free moment we have together. So I think it is almost impossible to get rid of these feelings I have for him. I don’t know what to do. If you could please help, cause I am going crazy. Thank You.

What I can plainly see by your description is one simple fact. The way this relationship is working is hurting you. This is not a healthy situation. You need to see clearly that you have to make a choice here. On the one hand, you really love and want this guy. This is an emotional reality that is pulling you in one direction. On the other hand, the current results of how things are right now is hurting you, and possibly destroying your self-esteem.

You are not getting the love you want and deserve in return for the gift of love you are giving.

Yes, you can wonder and puzzle about what is going on inside of him that makes him hold back. Probably you hope that I can supply you with that magic information, something that will straighten him out and make him a loving partner for you. Maybe it is fear. Maybe he really does not feel the same as you do and is simply using you. Probably, in all honesty, the guy is a decade too young to really ever appreciate what he potentially has in you.

But all that puzzling about what is happening inside of him is just your way to hope that you can solve the puzzle and that by solving it, he will then start to embrace you with the love you want and deserve.

I am sorry to tell you that solving that puzzle is probably impossible, because it is inside of him, and he probably isn’t even aware of what is operating there; and it might take him decades to decipher it — that’s called personal growth, and it takes years; and figuring out the puzzle inside of him is probably not going to give you the love you want. You have no power over that. He is doing the best he can right now, and that does not include giving you the love you want.

I am sorry to be blunt here, but I am objectively looking at your situation, seeing that you have a clear choice to make.

Choice 1 - Keep following and giving into those feelings that you want him to love you…. and the result of this choice is that you get to stay miserable.

Choice 2 - Stand up for your own emotional and mental health, make a commitment to yourself to only give your love to someone who will absolutely reciprocate it, and do whatever you have to in order to get physical and emotional distance from this self-destructive situation.

It is your choice. In the final analysis, you are in charge of your life. And you are responsible for your own happiness. Sometimes this means we have to let go of something that we want very much but that is really not good for us.

That is called letting go of unhealthy love. Just because you truly love someone does not mean that you have a healthy relationship in store for you there. They have to love you just as much in return for that to have a chance. You need two very willing and motivated partners to co-create a healthy relationship.

You do not have such a motivated partner in this so-called “friend” — and at this point, I have my doubts as to whether you have a true friend, either. He was right, physical intimacy probably has screwed that one up for you. Just look at his track record there. (It implies that unless he has a girl who is actively hurting and rejecting him, he doesn’t feel that certain something for her. And you just aren’t that kind of destructive girl. So he isn’t turned on to you like he thinks love should feel. Get it?)

A friend would not be a party to making you so miserable. No way. Something has shifted and you need to see that. Do not let your own love for someone blind you to what is healthy for you.

YOUR PRIMARY JOB ON THIS PLANET IS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN EMOTIONAL HEALTH. Relationships, while very important, need to come in a close 2nd place to that primary job. If a relationship conflicts with your emotional health, you need to do what you have to in order to get emotionally centered again. Right now, this means getting some very big distance from this relationship, taking that distance in whatever form you can get it. Get the support of family and your other friends to help you get this distance.

You just broke? Or not so soon, but still suffer under it? And you may be thinking that no one else you need and want only to turn back the clock to the time when you were happy together.

Of course, this is a natural process that occurs after each separation.

Before taking anything, consider whether it really worth it or just stubborn want to get it back. If you do not really make sense of life without him, then you may begin.

It is important to distinguish between actions that might be profitable by those who in any case should not apply in its strategy.

Never:

- Do not call him sobbing on the phone to ask him to return. On one side is degrading to you and the other in his keen eyes. If he decides he can give you another chance, will probably be out of pity.

- Do not chase. Do not wait to go to them, nor would intercept him accidentally in the work.

- Do not display how you ruined avoid hysteria crises, shouting that he would commit suicide, etc. Ultimately, every happening in life to be ignored, as each and abandoned.

- It is unnecessary to do such as you. He knows you well enough and you will know when pretending.

- Do not quarrel with him as he earn any arguments and arguments over which to ponder.

- Not Intervene children / if any / or try to bribery or blackmail.

- Avoid nervous breakdown. If you want to return it with hysteria, even if successful, he will never look at you the same way.

- Needless to him explain how you have changed and how things will be different. Easy words, but if you can not prove it is even worse.

If you want to get it back you must be a cold-blooded and purposeful. Do not fall into crisis before him. Cry like you’re alone, but to keep him calm. Let him know that life goes on.

Give him a sign that regret, but do not put the question of life and death. So he can more soberly assess situation itself.

It’s much easier to talk with a strong man who can control the nerves and emotions. If you see that he wants to get, but it is difficult and does not know how, just start with his womanly wiles. They are always in fashion.

- Remember what you have gathered together what he likes most about you. If your appearance, it offended if you laugh, laugh if you tenderness, touch it. Be creative, but not pathetic.

- Another recipe that even commonplace, remains a classic, is to make him jealous. Show up in front of him with another and this will undoubtedly sting him.

- If you redisplay a nice country, but without becoming intrusive, it will touch his soul. Surprised him, be good and gentle, without cheeky. Even seemingly not paying attention, certainly internally tormented by remorse for what his wife dropped. A step to the thought “Maybe it should be together” is transparently thin.

Do not underestimate the charm and its impact. Any woman can seduce any man, whether former, current or potential. Everything is in tactics.

And now once kindled the flame of love in his heart, whether first or second in your best interest to keep it. Because as you know how it hurts to admit the man to lose himself, and how better is the world when it enjoyed a favorite.

Do not forget to add me to share our experience. Have a nice day!

She walked out and went upstairs. I put the phone to my ear. “Hello?” She was silent. “Hello?” I asked again. “Lexy, I’ve got some bad news for you. Can you come down to Tomgate hospital?” Her voice was shaky I could tell she was upset about something. I was silent for a minute. I was still being stubborn. But it was then at that moment how stupid I’d been. “I’ll be there in five minutes.” I put the phone own and called up to mum. She didn’t answer me. She was just silent.

“Mum I’m going out. Dunno when I’ll be back!” I called up eventually. “Or if I’ll be back” I muttered under my breath. She still said nothing. I grabbed my coat and keys and ran out of the door as fast as I could. I stopped outside to put my coat on. “Hello Lexy. How’s Dianne?” My next door neighbour was in her garden. “She’s fine.” I said.

I didn’t mean to be rude but I ignored her. I ran down the street as fast as I could. I didn’t look back, not even for a second.

Chapter 1

“Ok, ok I’ve got one. I love you more than Sam loves girls” I laughed and threw popcorn at Lilly, who threw it back. “Wow that is a lot. Ok I love you more than Shrek loves Donkey.” I was at Lilly’s, she’s my best mate. We were playing the love me not game.     

Are you girls tired of having to figure this question out? After all how the hell are we suppose to figure it out. Is all men really want from a relationship is sex? Or do they want something a little more meaningful?

Well girls I have some answers for you. Straight from the horses mouth.

“ Just the sex everything else is negligible. “

“ We want a girl that isn’t insecure, someone that understand that we have friends (females), but just the basic stuff. Honesty, friendship, trust and being able to communicate with one another. “

“ Someone you can be with all the time pretty much, if you can combine friendship love and sex and then you have the perfect relationship (at least for me). “

Well there you have it, different men want different thing. So what you have to do is find a man that is as like minded as you, because not everyone is looking for the exact same thing. Especially when it comes to relationships.

But how will you know what your new guy whats from the relationship, simple ask him. That is if he hasn’t let you know already, which it my experience most men are upfront about what they want from the start. 

When that trust is broken between or among friends, it can really hurt. And it can leave you wondering if the friendship you kept with the person you thought was a friend was just a one-way thing. That is, you thought that person was your friend, but that person did not take you as a friend, after all.

These thoughts about friendship have crept up my mind recently when I found out that a person whom I have considered all these years as a valued friend, someone to keep till I grow old, has had a major development in her life for some years now, without telling me or some other of her “friends” about it. I cannot say here in this piece what kind of development has happened her life in case she reads this and finds out it is me. But when I found out just a few weeks ago, through a common friend of ours, what had happened to her and has been happening to her for some years now, I was really shocked. I was shocked not because of what had happened to her, which would have been a joyous moment that any another proud person would have easily shared the news to her or his friends. But I shocked and unbelieving that she has managed for so long not to tell me or her other friends about this supposedly happy development in her life, friends who considered themselves close to her.

Well, I suppose she or anybody else is entitled to privacy on such matters. But to think that she has kept secret from her circle of closest friends that matter for years has left me wondering if she is really a person worth keeping as friend. The words “betrayal,” “mistrust,” “misled” and similar ones come to my mind. Especially since she has not yet come up with a plausible explanation on why she had kept us all in the dark about this development in her life. Not that our lives would have been disastrously affected by her early revelation. In fact, we would have been happy for her as we are know after we got to know this  development in her life. But, unfortunately, having us her friends finding out about this development in her life not even through her but through another person certainly changes our concept of being friends with her. And, especially, since she was not still forthright about the truth when some of us asked her for clarification or confirmation.

Losing a friend is really a sad thing in life.

Often the relationship between partners in a relationship began to limp when sex becomes irregular.

This does not always mean that your feelings have vanished.

She had her very busy day at the office or home. In your head still echo the cries of the head or crying and you long for a warm bath and gentle hug.

Your desire for feats between the sheets is absolutely blunt the fatigue, but right now the libido of your partner is stronger than ever. Now what? Try to be honest. While we know that most likely will not be pleasant apology from you, it is better not fooling him.

Be sincere

 Your favorite may decide that “I’m tired” in translation means “do it with another”. Perhaps allow for this possibility. But more often it’s the female perspective, he may not think so. Up to you to find the right words to explain to him how you feel.

Pretend

 If your friend is from those who always and in all doubt, better save your explanations. Sometimes it is unnecessary to reach the moment you give a statement that no other life and unwillingness your snapshot.

Better to try to overcome fatigue in the name of your relationship. You do not get him to look for a woman who is not tired and waiting for him with open arms. Once you have embarked in this regard should be pains at any time to complete.

If you choose this option, you must be very clever disguise. If you let him to suspect you in acting, he  would hardly believe in the future. You will consider all your orgasm excellent role played no man feels on the spot. You caused him to complexes that will inevitably affect your relationship. Are you ready to take a risk?

Share more

If you regularly do empathize with your spouse experiences, you will not have to hesitate whether to pretend or to give him straight. You often tell him how much tilted his engagements for the day, how difficult you were to cancel your all business meetings, a lot of tension in what was his.

Let your words do not sound like a complaint, because it will load and become irritable. Men do not want them murmur. If you know how you go weekdays, there is no need to explain it every time how you. And he can not admit that on Monday night after the monthly meeting of the company, just get away with his banal excuse that you tired.

Well, he made a compromise, but you ought to make it up to show understanding and the next time. If you love him, this is not a difficult task. Today satisfy him and for yesterday.

Bromance is a healthy relationship between hetero-sexual males .They are usually single but such relationships may even develop among men in relationships . They enjoy spending time together . They admire each other’s activities and interests . They take pleasure in discussing business , trades , investments and even women , anything that’s considered suitable for discussion among men . 

The word bromance originates from the combination of the two words ‘bros‘ meaning male friends or brothers and ‘romance‘ . While talking about bromance people usually refer to the phrase “I love you man !” while some refer it as ‘man crush’ as the level of bonding is unusual for they feel happy to hang out together for hours . They enjoy participating in sports activities or delving into important issues while gulping bottles after bottles of beer .

There have been several films and television series focussing on this subject . This can be considered as one of the finest form of relationships as individuals of similar interests and thinking find it easier to share and express with each other . They can relate to each other’s emotions and thoughts . They can help each other more and sometimes they find more close bonding with each other which may surpass their relationship with the women folks .

Women may sometimes find it abnormal as they may miss their male partners who are involved in such relationships but it has been seen that such relationships make men more happy , strong and mature . They are glad discussing with male friends issues that are akin to them as they feel more comfortable with them than discussing it with their ladies . They find solutions and get ideas to live a better life as singles as well as with partners of opposite sex . So girls don’t doubt them rather leave them for sometime while you enjoy your time with your own friends .

Some recent films and television series have celebrated this concept of bromance and bromantic activities and made it more acceptable in the society . It’s no more considered an abnormal behaviour but a meaningful and expressive bonding of friendship between men .

Here we have an example that you can try at home

Place a pen in your jacket pocket.

Now stand or sit and reach into your jacket for the pen. notice the position of your hand as it approaches the pocket where the pen is. your hand forms almost a fist but with your index finger and thumb creating like a pair of pincers.

Do not try this at home. Now Imagine you have a gun in a shoulder holster.

Now as we reach into our jacket and approach the gun the positioning of the hand is different. The Back of the hand now faces forward and the index fingers are slightly curled and the rest of the fingers are curled a little more. The thumb as assumed position to go behind the handle In other words your hand is assuming the position to hold the Gun. 

now if we observe a person going into their back pants pocket for document or credit card, you will see that the palm of the hand faces the front and the elbow points back.

Observing a person reaching behind to the waistline for a gun.

as the person reaches behind you will now see the back of the hand now faces the front his back and the Elbow points out to the side,
