How could i know whether she loves me?

"Love means friendship and friendship means closeness and without closeness no relation is exist". So if you love someone or if you like someone you must be his/her friend.the History of love says that most of the relation has came out from the friendship. that means fall in love with any of your friend . that person might be school friend, college friend , university friend,coaching friend or colleagues.so if you fall in love with anyone of your friend then the most important issue is to know what she feels about you. whether she likes you or  she also loves you but did not dare to tell you.that will be definitely your headache. you do not want to destroy your friendship with her because if she reject you then it might have been create problem in your friendship on the other hand you are getting crazy  for her.so before  getting more crazy about her  be sure whether she loves you or not without asking her..there are some ways through which you can find out does  has some special feelings for you

1. You can see it in her eyes
  Quite often, women's emotions are clearly reflected on their faces. If her face lights up when you walk into the room or she's waiting up for you if you're late or standing at the door to say goodbye till your car's tail lights disappear, you have that magical effect on her. 

 2. Calls you up "just like that"

In the middle of a hectic day, she still calls you just to hear your voice. Or you just met and she calls you to say she already misses you. Get the message, my man. She just can't get enough of you!

  3. She caters to you

It's often said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And your woman may be no different. If she tries to cater to your palate and takes special care to cook your favorite meals, she's showing you in her own way that she loves you.

 4. She tells you how content she is

Sometimes we have to look deeper for signs of love. She may tell you how happy she is being around you or the sense of contentment just being your girlfriend/wife gives her.

5. Her friends tell you so

Women often talk to their friends about their feelings. Her best friend may whisper to you that you're the best thing that's happened to her. Or her bosom buddies may tell you she's always talking of you and how good you make her feel. You can be sure she's head over heels!

 6. She confides in you

She feels lighter telling you about things that are troubling her or weighing her down. You make her burdens easier to bear. She loves telling you every little detail about her day, something good that happened to her or why she's feeling particularly low. You're an essential part of her life; of course she loves you!

 7. She tries to make you happy
She's a sucker for that smile on your face. She loves to do whatever it takes to see you satisfied and will go that extra mile. If she tries that little bit extra in whatever way, big or small, you can be sure she's madly in love with you.
 8. She tries to compromise
There's a give-and-take called for in every relationship. If she really tries to see your point of view and is willing to meet you halfway, it's a sign of her immense love for you.

 9. She tries to look good for you
She's so in love with you that she wants you to have eyes only for her. She makes an effort to keep fit and takes care of her grooming and appearance. You often find her asking for your opinion on what you like on her, and her unadulterated joy when you give her that gleam of approval. Your view counts!

 10. She finds your quirks charming

Habits that annoy your family or acquaintances don't have the same effect on her. In fact she thinks your little eccentricities are quite appealing. For instance, your siblings always taunted you by saying your habit of drooling in your sleep was disgusting but she thinks it's rather cute. It's a sign of true love!

11. She tries to spend time with you
Even with all the multi-tasking she has to do, she tries really hard to put aside some quality time to be together. She basks in the pleasure of your company and says so. What more do you need? Her love couldn't be more telling than this.

12. She believes  you
You've landed a plum assignment but it also involves working longer hours with your attractive and sexy colleague. Not only does she not have a problem with it, but also she never calls you to check on where you are or how much later you're going to be. Implicit trust in your significant other is a very strong indication of deep love.

13. She has eyes only for you
It's only a normal human tendency to notice a good-looking member of the opposite sex. But if a gorgeous male specimen just entered the room and she's still engrossed in her conversation with you, that's good news. And if her eyes haven't strayed when that guy with the perfect butt just walked past, you've got it made, my friend!  

How to be prepared for fisrt date

love is immoral things.who fall in love only he or she can explain what is love and whats the feelings of it. on the contrary it can be said that love is such kind of feelings which can never be explained . it is just a emotional feelings playing in your heart, flourishing the affection in your heart.so the love come first and second the most interesting but heart biting thing is first date. there is a many rules of first love but you have to be prepared yourself for first date as no one have done it before. you have to do something especial which your lover can memorize even at the last day or her life



"There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted."

Today many American singles are having a difficult time finding their life partner. I will be offering some first date tips that may help you in this regard. In this fast paced world we live in today, just finding time to date can be cumbersome. Whether you met someone through a friend, or an online dating site, make sure that you are prepared and in the right state of mind. You don't want to waste an opportunity.

First dates can be extremely stressful especially if you are not in the right frame of mind. Whether you are a guy or girl, many experience a certain degree of fear not knowing what will happen on the date. Correctly preparing for a date helps you combat uncertainties that are bound cross your mind during the date and it helps you in making a good first impression.

the way you can follow to make more special and memorable and unique you can get help from these ideas.

Think positive.

Banish all negative thoughts from your mind. This means no thinking about worst-case scenarios and no negative self talk (he won't like me, I look fat in this, etc.) Just be yourself, and everything will fall into place. If you go into the date with a positive outlook, you'll be much more likely to have a good time no matter what happens.

Don't expect too much.

Expecting too much from a first date will only set you up for a lot of disappointment if things don't work out. So rather than hoping he'll turn out to be your knight in shining armor (which he very well may), just focus on having a good time. Putting too much pressure on yourself to perform and on him to charm you may just lead to frustration.

Stay calm.

Do something to distract yourself before the big night out so you don't over-think the date to come. Whether you're prone to panic about potential dating disasters or just get nervous about first dates, do your best to stay calm. Hit the gym beforehand, call a friend or take a long, hot bath -- anything that will minimize pre-date anxiety.

Think of things to talk about.

Spend some time thinking of possible topics of conversation in case there are gaps in conversation. Think about current events, movies you've seen, trips you've taken or books you're reading -- anything you can fall back on if conversation dries up (which it can when you're nervous).

   5  Be Enthusiastic
Some people think that they should let their date do all the work, but think about what kind of experience that is going to be for your date. Being enthusiastic and confident on your date will help things be more enjoyable for you both and make your dating experience more fun.
   6 Be Attentive
When you are nervous it can be hard to stay calm and attentive but remember that your date is likely to be nervous too. Do what you can to break the ice and help your date feel comfortable.
   7 Be Polite
Even if you have already decided that you don’t want a second date, being polite will make it a nicer experience for you and your date and you never know – you may make a good friend out of it!

Good-humored type, in which case he or she  will surely love surprises! But even if your beloved person  has a more serious personality, he or she is  sure to enjoy a little unexpected spice now and again. Plan a surprise for him or her to add some fresh Liveliness to your relationship.optimistically, you’ll find that he satisfyingly surprises you in return!

What Are Good Gifts to Get for Your lover ?

1. A really affordable and brilliant way to surprise your girl is a shiny heart-shaped mylar balloon (also called foil balloon) filled with helium.

Attach color matching curling ribbons to the balloons, and place one or two in a big box. You might also want to put other items such as a card with special love message, or some decorative metallic confetti. Then use a clear sticky tape to secure the box shut, and finish with a huge red ribbon.

When your girlfriend opens it, the mylar balloons will gently float up and out of the surprise box, and her heart will surely soar.

You can find a huge variety of Mylar Balloons at Amazon, Target, or at most party stores and they are really inexpensive. Since helium-filled mylar balloons are extremely light, it means that they are incredibly cheap to mail to her office, or to her house.

2. If you have a ceiling fan in the house, then this surprise idea is going to work wonders for you, and make the evening unforgettable. However, it needs a little planning ahead.

First, you need to gather some small and light weight materials such as rose petals, paper hearts or confetti. (confetti is available at party shops or other specialized shops for less than $2 a bag, and I suggest you get those that come with an array of colors).

Next, get on a step stool and sprinkle your materials liberally on the top of the blades while the fan is turned off.

Invite your girlfriend to your home for dinner, put on some romantic music and ask her for a slow dance. The idea is to get your darling to stand underneath the fan. And when you turn on the fan, you "shower" her with all your love and beautiful surprises.

Alternatively, fill her car with scented flower petals and give your woman a beautiful surprise before work. Stick a lovely note onto the steering wheel that reads "I'll say she looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew. –

3. Scrapbooks are great gifts to celebrate your relationship with that special someone. I encourage you to spend a little time to put together a romantic scrapbook and document those precious moments the two of you share together.

Making a scrapbook for girlfriend is very easy and fun. Dig through your albums for photos as a couple – adventurous travels, lazy afternoons in the park, or happy times spent together – and organize these pictures on your scrapbook pages.

Add little mementos such as ticket stubs to places you have been to, post cards, invitations, or any small items that can be pasted onto paper. You can also do a page for all stuff she likes such as her favorite color, movies, songs, or places. Don't forget to write down short cute notes declaring your undying love, with all the reasons you appreciate her. Communication builds confidence in your relationship.

Then grab some flowers from the supermarket, and you have an inexpensive romantic gift she will gush over!

If you are lacking in the creative department, try the new Snapfish photo memory books.

4. Nothing is better than a simple hand-written love-note to make an ordinary day unforgettable. You want your love message to be unique, special and heart felt. You can let your girlfriend know know how much you cherish her.

Write your love note, spritz a little of your cologne so she would remember your scent when reading it and drop into her lunchbox, handbag, or cosmetic bag. You might want to slip it between the pages of a book she is currently reading, or her umbrella.  Your darling will be pleasantly surprised when she opens her lunch at work, opens cosmetic pouch to touch up on her makeup, or starts reading her novel.

5. You do not have to spend a lot of money on gifts to make a woman happy. When you shop for presents, I suggest you look for small things that will delight your girlfriend. A stuffed animal teddy bear, a heart shaped stone, a small gift certificate to her favorite salon or spa, or a little basket of candies and chocolates works wonders as ideal gifts for a woman in her mid-twenties.

If you want to do something different, maybe an original gift other than those cliche girlfriend gifts, try putting a love letter in a bottle (wine or champagne bottle is great for this purpose). If your sweetie enjoys music, make a personalized music CD with all her favorite songs and record your personal message before each song.

To make gift-giving more fun and unforgettable, hide the present in the house and email a clue to your girlfriend.
 

A Few Creative Surprises to Try:

• Give him or her a small gift for no reason
• Organize a surprise party
• Invite his friends over for dinner
• Buy a little gift for his pet
• Dedicate a song to him at a radio station
• Write him a poem or song, or draw him a picture
• If he lives far off, pay him a surprise visit

5 steps on how to impress a girl

over my 25 years old i have have been watched a lots of relation and as my favorite  subject is love and its circumstances thats why i have seen a lots of  to boys who impressed a girl with various strategies.After analyzing all these steps or way i think in myself that all the steps are almost similar.

actually you have to emphasis on the age of that girl you want to impress. because these steps depent on the age.the steps for teenager girls and the steps for the 20+ aged girls will obviously not same. thats why the age is a very big factor.

you know teenager girls always like the filmy thing. like the heroism with some adventured. on the other hand the 24+ aged girls like the personality and the attitude and finally the future career of the boy .
so its always been different according to the age.

Actually to talk specifically of impressing a girl, it’s kind of a loaded statement.
Something I often talk about is that you want to be the buyer, not the seller in an interaction.
If you are trying to impress her, what does that say about how you view her compared to yourself?
The goal is to actually get to the point where SHE is impressing YOU.
Easier said than done.
1.  Speak LOUD!
-Loud is a sign that you are unstifled, and at ease with your environment.  It shows that you are comfortable talking to her, and have talked to other girls just as cute as she is, making her feel more attracted.
2.  Take up Space.
-Get big.  Have a presence.  Create an aura.  The more physical space you can take up both as you talk and seated, the more it conveys that you are not insecure about your surroundings, a very attractive trait.
3.  Maintain Eye Contact.
-One of the first thing a girl looks at when trying to determine if you are a high value attractive man is how much you are able to maintain eye contact as you talk to her.  Hold it strong, even when you feel uncomfortable, get used to holding.
4.  Have FUN!
-Stress is an indicator that your life is not handled.  The most high value attractive guys have their shit together and feel at ease in the world.  They can have fun because they have little to worry about.
5.  Convey your Intent.
-Most guys are afraid to show that they actually like the girl, but if you can authentically show that you like her, and are willing to be vulnerable, it conveys MASSIVE value.

Candle Light Romance in the Bath

 Have you ever been tasted the candle light romance in bath. I think a very few couple has been tasted it.If  i asked about the candle light dinner then i will have a lots of response . but do you ever think about the candle light romance in bath?



Its a very warming  and felicitous and  high voltage feelings when you will have a candle light romance on bath with your partner. just  try feel about the situation , i am sure your heart will biting with 440 volts.

today i will let you know what a nice plan you can give to your partner for surprising  him or her.

Today I would like to show you how to create a beautiful romantic candle lit bath with only a couple scented jar candles, some pillar candles, and a few tealights. Picture a shot of the bathtub with nothing around it. No decoration at all. While this could be just fine for a relaxing bath, it can certainly be spiced up a lot. Let's see if we can fix this.
You can certainly use a variety of candles when creating that romantic candle lit bath. We have some fantastic Wood Wick candles that actually crackle like a real wood fire as they burn. We also have some tea light candles for a little different style. Then there's a few pillar candles to complete the look. You don't want to have too many scented candles as the different scents can really get overpowering. That's why we're using unscented tealights here in plastic cases so you don't need a special holder and unscented pillar candles so as not to create too much scent.
By creating the ambiance associated with the candles and the smells, you can put yourself into a further state of relaxation and romance. I recommend trying the combination of lavender scented candles and rose scented candles. If you consider the effects of aromatherapy, then these two scents are perfect. Lavender is said to deliver peace, calm and stability to the person who smells it, and Rose is the flower of love for a reason. The scent is said to aid in love as well as bringing harmony in one's life.
Now you don't have to be overly creative in this endeavor. Simply spread out the candles that you have an a nice array around the tub taking extra care in making sure you don't put burning candles too close to your head and don't place too many scented candles too close together. You want to have one at the foot of the bath and one at the head to give a nice balanced combination of scents.
There you have it! All you have to do now is fill the tub, light the candles, and you're in business. A perfect romantic candle lit bath to relax the body, soothe the senses, and put that special someone in a romantic mood. Give it a try yourself and you'll be amazed at the results.

A Victim of Love: Are You One of Them?

Have you ever heard the song VICTIMS OF LOVE? This song is a real life story of how love may affect everyone positively or negatively. Most of us who fall in love will feel happy at first. Our days will be inspired and we will be happy... it is as if each day is like heaven. The initial feeling of love is always happiness and inspiration but making that feeling stay defends on two people holding on to the thing and reason they fell in love in the first place. When we enter into a commitment, we often say promises to each other. Those promises are commonly done out of infatuation and the over rated feeling of happiness and love. Someone would be lucky if those promises are indeed true. Couples are excited to be together and to see each other. Sweet words and sweet nothings abound daily life. In today's world that will mean the exchange of text messages and even phone calls or commonly posts on each other's Facebook walls

I am in the impression that men who really felt love will really be in love more than women most of the time. Men who gave their love to someone truly will do everything they can for that someone they love. However, some women take things for granted and sees this as being over protective or a choke. However, sometimes the reverse happens. In the modern world where love is commonly confused with lust, infatuation and the necessity to love someone out of one's need, it is difficult to fall in love fully for in the end you will be a victim of love. However, there is one saying that a famous author said, leo Buscaglia. He said that when we give love we should not expect anything in return for that is what true love means.... but are we all up for true love?

I for one is a person that commonly experience being a victim of love. Falling in love too deep only to realize that I have lost all that is meant for me. However, I am one who practices Leo Buscaglia's teaching. True that it hurts when someone you love so much changes and remembers you less as he or she focuses on somebody new but in the end what is important is that you give the best in you to love that person. Is it wrong to be a victim of love? Well, for me it is okay as long as you realize in the end the true meaning and reason why you love that person in the first place. Be positive always and remember that romantic love is not the only love present and that there will always be someone out there that is meant for you. I have loved and have been hurt... I have loved and have been cheated but will I seize to love again just because I was hurt? I don't think so for love is the greatest feeling given to man.

what is love ?

love is passion love is feelings and love is untouchable the most precious things in the earth. Despite the fact that love is one of the major human emotions (some would even say the most important one), love has only fairly recently became the subject of scientific. According to Sigmund Freud (1910), the study of love in the past was left to "…the creative writer to depict for us the 'necessary conditions for loving... In consequence it becomes inevitable that science should concern herself with the same materials whose treatment by artists has given enjoyment to mankind for thousands of years." While research on this subject has grown tremendously over the last 20 years, early explorations into the nature and reasons for love drew considerable criticism. During the 1970s, U.S. Senator William Proxmire railed against researchers who were studying love and derided the work as a waste of taxpayer dollars (Hatfield, 2001). Since that time, research has revealed the importance of love in child development and adult health. But what exactly is love? How do psychologists define this important emotion? According to social psychologist Zick Rubin, love is characterized by three different things: attachment, caring and intimacy. Using a psychometric approach to love, Rubin devised a scale used to assess levels of liking and loving. Is Love Biological or Is It a Cultural Phenomenon? Biological views of love tend to view the emotion as a human drive. While love is often seen as one of the basic human emotions such as anger or happiness, some have suggested that love is instead a cultural phenomenon that arises partly due to social pressures and expectations. In a Time article, psychologist and author Lawrence Casler said, "I don't believe love is part of human nature, not for a minute. There are social pressures at work." If love were a purely cultural invention, it would stand to reason that love would simply not exist in some cultures. However, anthropological research suggests that love is a universal emotion. Love is most likely influenced by both biological drives and cultural influences. While hormones and biology are important, the way we express and experience this emotion are influenced by our personal conceptions of love.

5 Dating Rules you must follow

When it comes to your love life, do you wish there was a rule book? While The Rules are so last century, a new dating handbook has yet to be created in the new millennium.

Advertisement

So how do you know the dos and don’ts of dating? The truth is there are no hard and fast rules, but the following guidelines should help you navigate the tricky terrain known as your dating life. Rule #1: Listen to Your Gut
Whether you’re on a date, communicating with someone you meet online, or flirting with a cutie you meet in the flesh, it’s important to pay attention and listen to your gut. If a potential date’s actions or words set off an internal alarm system, you owe it to yourself to pay attention and act accordingly. These alarms can be both good and bad. For example, if you’ve met someone online and they seem interesting, then you talk to them on the phone and they sound completely different (in a negative way), you may decide not to meet them in person. A positive example would be if you were on a date with someone and they seemed nervous but well intentioned, your gut might tell you to give them a second chance. By going on a second date, you’ll gain a better understanding of who they really are and if you’d like to see them again.

Rule #2: Pay Attention to Red Flags
Like those internal alarms that alert you to your gut feelings, you also have an alarm system to alert you to red flags. Oftentimes this alarm system is turned way down. As a result, we often ignore red flags and find ourselves getting involved with inappropriate partners because we’re not paying attention. To become a truly successful single in the new millennium, you owe it to yourself to become a red flag specialist. That means paying attention to red flags as they are presented to you on dates. An example of a red flag would be if you found yourself on a date with someone who could not stop talking about their ex. They may be a fantastic person, and eventually make a great partner, but right now they’re not ready. Your job is to pay attention to that red flag and not pursue them.

Rule #3: Actions Speak Louder Than Words
During the course of your dating life you will most likely find yourself on a date with someone whose actions speak much louder than their words. Maybe they’re attentive and chivalrous to you, but treat the waiter, bartender, and/or valet poorly. Or maybe they claim they’re ready for a long-term relationship, but their wandering eye tells you otherwise. To get the most out of your dating life, it’s important to understand that actions speak louder than words. When someone’s actions are contrary to their words, this is not only a red flag, it’s gut-check time. By paying attention and screening out potential partners whose actions don’t match their words, you cut down on wasted dating time and make it that much easier to attract potential partners worth your time and energy.




Rule #4: Don’t Play Games

Successful singles know what goes around comes around. They also know the importance of being honest and well-intentioned with the people they date. As a successful single, you owe it to yourself and the individuals you date not to play games. Call when you say you’re going to call. Do what you say you’re going to do, and be honest when the other person asks if you’d like to go out again. If you don’t want to see them again, say so in a kind and considerate way. By being honest and letting them down easy, you avoid playing games. Expect the same in return. If you don’t get it, don’t play games by taking that out on the next person you date.

Rule #5: Know When to Say “Game Over”
Just as you should not play dating games, you will want to avoid getting played. Like it or not, there are plenty of players on the dating scene. It’s up to you to know the signs of the player, know their game, and be confident enough to say “game over.” Here’s how to spot a player: When they approach, they’ll take you off guard with a backhanded compliment/insult along the lines of “you’re too cute to be wearing that” or “I’d buy you a drink, but you probably wouldn’t talk to me.” These tactics are known as The Game. The player’s motive is to take you off guard so that you’re on the defensive and try to make up for it by engaging in their game. The problem is, these players aren’t genuine. Instead of falling for their tactics, simply smile, say “game over,” and walk (better yet, run!) away.
While there are no hard and fast dating rules, there are definitely guidelines to follow to make your dating life more enjoyable. By listening to your gut, paying attention to red flags, and understanding that actions speak louder than words, you cut down on wasted dating time. In doing so, you not only avoid getting played, but you also greatly increase your chances of relationship success.
