7 Secrets to making your guy smile

Making your guy smile is one of the greatest gifts you can give him. There's an added benefit for you, too. If he smiles, you smile. "A smile is something you can't give away. It always comes back to you." ~Author Unknown

Following are 7 secret ways to make your guy smile. Some are more playful than others. Try them, or let them inspire you to come up with a list of your own. Only you know your guy and what's likely to make him smile.

1. Let your guy know how much you believe in him, especially when times are hard. Guys often equate their value with their paycheck. Help him realize that his value is far greater than money.

2. If you and he are in a roomful of people, but haven't seen each other for awhile, look for him. He's likely looking for you, too. When your eyes meet, you both will smile. He likes to know that he's always on your mind. "The shortest distance between 2 people is a smile." ~Author Unknown

3. Give him a year of birthdays. Let's say he's born on January 1st. On the 1st of every month, do something for him that lets him know you're thinking about him. You could buy him a favorite movie and put it in his chair, bake his favorite pie, give him a massage, or do anything you think will make him smile. The gifts don't have to cost anything, but they do require your creativity and thoughtfulness. It's amazing how giving him a year of birthdays keeps you positively focused on your guy. He'll smile over-and-over as he experiences your love in action. "A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles." ~Washington Irving

4. Enjoy what he does for you. Don't take his efforts for granted. Tell him how happy you are to have him in your life. He'll smile because he makes you happy. "Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile." ~Author Unknown

5. Plan a romantic meal on an ordinary evening. Get a babysitter, if necessary. Light candles. Play music. Make his favorite foods, or cook together. Give your guy your undivided attention. "Every time you smile at someone, it's an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." ~Mother Teresa

6. Look your best when you 2 go out. Sit close, hold hands, and flirt with him. That will bring on a smile! "Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important." ~Janet Lane

7. Don't complain when he needs some space. In fact, don't complain. Choose to take a positive approach. You will disagree with him, but learn to handle disputes fairly. "A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it. " ~Author Unknown


"Every day you spend without a smile is a lost day." ~Author Unknown


You have everything to gain, and nothing to lose when you make your guy smile. Though times are tough, everyday brings fresh opportunities for joy-if you're willing to look for them. Smiling during hard times doesn't indicate weakness or an acceptance of the wrongs of the world. Smiling is a coping mechanism, a refusal to give up, a strength. As Shakespeare said, "The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief."

Secrets About Guys That Girls Must Know

Author: Michael Douglas

Finding the right guy is indeed a tricky business. When even a proclaimed faithful like David Beckham can bend easily to a Rebecca or a Sarah and who knows how many more, then what would the lesser mortals belonging to generation-X do? Do guys come with ISI marks? Is there any Einstein or Freud working on gadgets to measure the sincerity of guys in a relationship? Certainly this job of knowing whether the guy who touches the heart is worth living with for a lifetime is becoming difficult. To make the job easier, here are offered 15 secrets about guys that a girl must know. Read them, apply them to your guy-in-love and decide.





1. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention:





So don't get carried away. They like watching girls because it is their biggest pastime. They admire girls even if they're not that much pretty. And the next step in line is to get the girl respond to them. It is just the feel-good factor to ensure that they are attractive enough for the girls. So don't slip away from your ground at the mere gimmicks shown only to attract you.





2. If a guy praises you to your face, don't take it in face value:





Guys are generally fun-loving and are pleased to see how they can make you believe their words. So don't believe them if they say they can't sleep without hearing your voice on the phone or can't live without seeing you, etc. A guy interested in a serious relationship would use these dialogues selectively only at times when he thinks he really needs to tell you and that you would believe him in return. Such a guy when he says like that, would have really meant that. But that takes some time into a serious relationship.





3. For guys, chemistry is not necessarily connected to beauty:





Yes, it is something else. In fact, the way the girl presents herself attracts the guy to enter into a serious relationship than her efforts at the beauty parlour. The girl's smile is the first missile that blows him off. And then it is about how she conducts herself in groups and in person. Generally, guys like to flirt but they don't like flirts.





4. If a guy tells you he loves once in a lifetime, he really does:





Because no guy says so easily "I love you" to a girl. But when he says he means it. He may be flirting around with so many, but would have special feelings for a special girl who he cannot forget. And if you happen to be that special friend, who doesn't want to respond to him, then don't expect him to give up. His entire life goal from then on will be to make you accept him. He will give up only when he comes to know that some other guy has succeeded in his application to you.





5. Rejection is the biggest nightmare for guys:





They don't accept defeat so easily, particularly if they have had a relationship with a girl for quite some time. They will keep trying to get your approval, despite the "no" you have said. If they hear you say "no," they would actually hear it "not now." So they will keep trying. See what happens with Beckham. He may have dated different girls at different times, but would be quick enough to seek pardon from his wife. If Victoria turns "spicy" enough to reject him, he is sure to break. Rejection by the girl is something the guys cannot bear. This brings out the next secret about guys that they do cry!





6. Guys cry:





When something goes amiss in a relationship, guys are equally affected as girls. But it is better to let him off if he really proves unworthy in a relationship. That is the way guys learn to behave. It is experience and rejection that make them mature and well-behaved. So let him cry to learn better. But if a guy cries in front of the girl in an otherwise normal relationship, it is better to listen to him. He may be having a genuine reason to cry that the girl must certainly listen to. Because, as a general rule, guys don't cry in front of his lady love, unless otherwise there is a strong reason.





7. Guys love their moms:





And they like girls who are like their moms. The generation X girl looking for a serious relationship with such a guy need not worry about his mom. Recent studies have shown that the mom loves the girl more because her son loves the girl. And since the son sees the girl in his mom's image, he is sure to possess the tenderness that he used to show to his mom. For instance, the girl can expect him to have some expertise in culinary because that is one area the guy would have excelled to help his mom. The mom too in turn is likely to reduce the household chores of the girl as a way of pleasing her son. Anyway, good luck girls!





Unless the boy comes of age with reference to this habit, it is very difficult for him not make his girl, now his mistress, throw tabs as well as tantrums at him at the slightest popping of suspicion. Victoria Beckham failed to see this secret and the Real Madrid Mr Clean succumbed to the weakness. There is a lesson in them for both guys and girls!

7 Secrets Men Keep From Women

Yes, men tell women what we think you want to hear because, let's face it, you're going to decide if we're having sex tonight. If you ask us to communicate, we think it's a trap. Women say they want me to be honest, but when men let it rip, women don't like the answers.
Things men tell their buddies that they don't tell their wives and girlfriends.

Yes, it's about sex. Men like sex, men like variety. Men like women that enjoy sex, enjoy variety, and are active partners in sex.

1. A man is less likely to feel romantic if a woman is making his life miserable. If you want to cuddle, don't start a fight over leaving the toilet seat up or not taking out the garbage, Buzzkill.
2. Men are passionate about the things women hate. In general, when men tell you they don't like cartoons, stoner movies, action movies, motorcycles, South Park, sports, firearms, the Simpsons, and ESPN, etc. they are lying so that they can have sex with you.
3. There's only 24 hours in a day. Eight hours of sleep, ten hours at work, two hours commute, 90 minutes at the gym, and 90 minutes cooking, eating, and washing up leaves only one hour each day for "us" or "me" time. Keep your expectations reasonable and share.
4. Women have cold hands, feet, butts, and other body parts. Men are not your personal heaters. Warm them or keep them to yourself.
5. When women say they want to sit down and talk, men hear "I'm pissed." You never want to talk about things we like, like sports, so telling us you want to talk sends us the signal that you want to bring up something that's bothering you. You might fool us once in a while by actually wanting to talk about something the other sex is interested in. Men have to, it's called dating.
6. Men hate dating because we have to lie. Lying isn't fun. We can't wait to be married so we can really tell you how we feel about Bridget Jones. Unless he's a jerk, a man's happiest day is when he no longer has to lie to have sex.

Girls how true is this?

7 Secret Warning Signs You’re About To Get Dumped

Want to know if your relationship is about to hit the skids? Looking for tell-tale signs that your love will last through next week? Well, look no further,. Below you’ll find the 7 secret warning signs you’re about to get dumped.   


1. He keeps you waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Time is an important non-verbal communicator. If he keeps you waiting, it’s a sign his interest is waning, and a sign of disrespect. This is true for dates as well. If he starts waiting until the very last minute to make date plans with you, it’s likely he’s lost interest, or he’s hoping something better will come along and he’s using you as a back-up.

2. He’s no longer interested in sex, or worse, he has a new bag of tricks and a trapeze with the tags still on it. Barring medical problems, if there’s a dramatic change in sexual behavior (less sex, or different sex,) watch out. He’s either learning it somewhere else or getting it somewhere else.

3. You’re starting to feel like a telemarketer. Is your sweetie anxious to end phone conversations right away? A person who knows he’s going to end the relationship with you, but hasn’t done so yet will be itching to get off the phone with you. If he is talking to you, but not adding anything to the conversation it’s sign he is heading towards the finish line. He’s probably just pacing himself.

4. He says, “I need some space” or “I think we should see other people.” It’s obvious, but we miss it every day. Women will say, “We’re not breaking up, we’re just seeing other people.” If you’re seeing other people, you’re not a couple. And while he’s not technically breaking up with you (so no big crying scene to endure) he’s given himself a way out. Of course, the second he gets a little distance, he’s going to make a run for it.

5. He avoids talking about the future. We’re not just talking the general, garden-variety aversion that men have to discussing relationships. We’re talking about a man who avoids having one of those “we have to talk” talks like it’s a shot of the Plague. As for the future, when next Thursday seems like too much of a commitment, it could be because he’s trying to extricate himself by Wednesday night.

6. When he hugs you, he gives you that little pat-pat-pat on the back. A person who gives you a hug while patting you on the back is indicating that they are uneasy, and the bigger the pat, the more discomfort they feel.

7. He starts picking fights about stupid stuff, like which way the toilet paper roll goes. We find reasons to argue when we want out. If you find yourself bickering over such pressing issues as why Hulk Hogan, not The Rock, should be crowned King of Wrestlemania, your partner is trying to make you look like the bad guy so he doesn’t feel so bad when he leaves. “That’s it!” he’ll scream, after another paper versus plastic bout. “I can’t take this anymore! I’m LEAVING!”

Want to know when you’re most likely to get the axe? Most experts agree it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of the first 3-5 months if you’re dating, or around the eight-year mark for married couples. So, stock up on tissues and Ice cream if you find yourself heading down the wrong road.

7 Secret Signs That He Is Ready to Commit

Relationship tips in this area are so important because most men don't simply come out and say "I'm ready to commit to a serious relationship with you." While it would be nice, that just isn't the way men think. But that doesn't mean you have to be left wondering whether or not the guy in your life is ready to get serious. Chances are, he is already displaying many different signs that reflect is willingness (or reluctance) to commit, you just have to know what to look for. The following tips should clear up many of your doubts.

1. If he is constantly asking you out, even when you play hard to get, that's a great sign. He's the kind of guy that wants to spend as much of his free time with you as possible.
2. If he not only wants to spend time with you, but calls you often, then that is another sign. Guys that are ready to commit will want to assure themselves that you are safe and that you know how much they value you.
3. If he's the kind of guy that never brushes aside anything you say, this is another positive sign. In fact, he makes it clear that he values your ideas and opinions and he always listens to what you have to say.
4. Money should never be a substitute for affection, but if he is the kind of guy that never blinks at spending money on you, whether it is flowers, jewelry or just dinner, then that is another great sign that he's ready to commit.
5. If he is constantly trying to make things easier for you, like mowing the lawn, fixing the plumbing or carrying the groceries, then this is another sign that he's ready to commit. It's not about impressing you - he really does want to make sure you're comfortable.
6. If he's the kind of guy that doesn't shy away from topics like marriage and children, then you know he is ready to commit. Any guy that evades these topics simply isn't serious about planning a future with you.
7. Finally, if he doesn't mind you leaving things around his place, or if he encourages sharing things with you, then there is no doubt that he is ready to commit!

There is no shortage of relationship tips out there, but many fall short when it comes to helping women figure out whether or not their guy is really serious about committing. Keep the seven relationship tips above in mind and you will soon know without a doubt whether or not he is committed! We are of course assuming that you you have chosen your soul mate with wisdom.
