Subtle Signs You're Falling In Love

Image
No one is entirely immune to the legendary cupid's arrow, we've all felt or will feel it at a time. The signs are obvious when you're falling for someone, thinking about them every second, the nervous feeling when around them, the feeling of butterflies in your stomach, the unquenchable desire to hear from them and the need to look spiffy  just to impress them. The truth is, no one can tell when this thing happen, there are no maps of the change falling in love brings and most times it happens when you think you're past that sort of thing or not ready for it. Your Relationship doesn't Feel Forced Being with your partner feels easy, you don't have to work hard to make things take their desired form. To spend time with them becomes what you really want, even a day spent together is not enough. When you argue, it's no longer a battle of superiority like it used to in the past, you're not worried to accept your fault and apologize.  You get ...

 She met him him during her final year at the University, he was about thirty five and rather a good looking man he was over six foot tall, of athlete build- he looked as if he might be a sportsman with the most welcoming smile. She had a weakness for big men, and it was love at first sight like her whole body directed her to him. Time literally slowed down luckily a friend of hers introduced them, and they talked about everything she found out that not only did they share so many interest, but birthday.

10 Ways to Bring Your Partner Emotionally Close to You (Part1)

Image
Relationships are not a walk in the park; they require serious commitment from both parties. No relationship is a bed of roses. Forget what is presented on social media, as it often doesn't reflect reality. Most of us make the mistake of comparing our relationships to others, judging ours based on what someone else is showing about their spouse or relationship. What we forget is that every relationship is unique, just like the individuals involved and their needs. This post was inspired by recent complaints from friends and acquaintances: "My partner's so difficult to deal with," "My spouse doesn't talk about anything," My partner's emotionally detached," so many complains. Most times the problem is not with the person you're with but lies in you not understanding their emotional needs. However, there's no need to worry. There are several ways to make your partner feel more emotionally connected to you. That being said, let...

The Proposal

Emem stepped into the deserted street at about 10:45pm, and regretted staying that late at the fashion house, at about that second her phone began to ring uncontrollably, who could be calling at this odd hour when she was trying to get herself home unharmed she thought, she was too scared to pick the call paradventure someone crawls from behind, as she skilfully opened her handbag and peeped to see who the caller was, fortunately enough just the right person to bail her out, as she wrapped her scarf round her head and neck using her earpiece to recieve the call   'Emem where are you?'. The exact salutation she had expected    'Uhmm..just closing' she said waiting for an outburst     'What?!' He brayed.     'Is your car still at the mechanic? anyway where ever you are go back to where humans are and I will come get you.'     'Okay' she said too scared to protest. She had met Tayo at the Mangu orientation camp in Plateau State. He wa...

3 Types of Couples

Image
If you're not in a relationship or married yet at least you know someone who is. Behind every relationship is a unique sweet story or a unique bitter story. So, I came to the realisation that there are three major types of couples. I know you're wondering what I'm talking about right now but here it is. 1) The   mismatched   couple These couple are the definition of romance and love. They make you want to question why you're with your your partner at first sight. When you're with one half all you get to hear is what the other half said, did and even when they are just a yard away from each other their phones keep buzzing because it's like one half can't survive without the other.  When they finally take a vow before family and friends to stay glued to each other forever..Boom! 1-3 months down the path of marriage things get sour, then comes the bitter discovery that they were not in any way compatible; they begin to see a thousand thing wrong ...

6 Ways to Get Over Someone You Loved

Image
     Picture Credit: CanStockPhoto.com I wrote a post some years ago about moving on from a bad breakup, and the response was impressive. Truth is, a lot of us actually find it difficult moving on after years spent with someone.  A lot of people have been messed up in a way that they don't  trust anyone enough to want to start a relationship with. In some people's world relationship is a war, you either shoot or get shot at. I hope this post helps you move and find love. Forgive Forgiveness is a choice, and comes easy for some, but forgetting is the problem. No matter how hurt you feel, the big step to finding love again is forgiving your ex and moving on.  You can’t keep hauling around a baggage that is years-old let it go, open your heart; whoever broke your heart is in the past. Do not take the mistake of one person on an entire gender. Stop putting every other person in the basket with your ex. Know this, no two people are same.  There ...
