My Parents, what we put them through as teenager’s once we were allowed to begin dating!  I have 3 siblings and we all looked alike. The only male is the oldest…lucky him….or his life would’ve been much different.   If my math is correct, there were four children in five years, and I must say we had a very fun home growing up.  When I entered high school in the Pittsburgh area, I walked down the hall as an insecure freshman, and the teachers would stop and say that I was

Did you ever wonder why sex can be great one day, really great (!) another day, so-so (ok, I’ll take it) another day, and what’s happening to me another day?! My juju estimation is that sexual satisfaction #reachinganorgasm, is 90% mental, for both males and females.  Relaxation and chemistry can provide some really great romps in the hay.  Guys and gals this is why the drive home, or a walk with the dog, is so important after a long day of work.  And there’s a reason why foreplay can be

What if everything you’ve gone through in dating, relationships, or marriage, are preparing you for what you’ve been asking for?  This inspired me because today I was thinking about someone that had a recent breakup and now seems to be past his rough patch and in great spirits!  Awesomeness is always around the corner if you let it be. Maybe this is why we date multiple people before we find the one we want to settle down with….the process of elimination, and not knowing what we need but finding out

Remember that phrase from your younger years, and if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with children, are your kids using this phrase?  I remember the one time I was caught in a lie as a child, I let the hamster out of the cage to run around the room and voila,  he disappeared.  There weren’t any of my three siblings around, and of course they wouldn’t take the blame anyway.  Yup, caught in a lie and for me as a child this was traumatic.  I didn’t get spanked or

While wrapping a present and tying a casual (imperfect) bow, I thought about a memory years ago…it’s amazing how an emotion can come back to us from a small but grand gesture!  I was dating a man, business oriented which is what jives with my personality, and as I got to know him better I found he was unafraid to show his emotions and very creative, but you’d never know this if you weren’t close to him.  Close friends and family thought we’d marry some day, and to this day

Are friends and family telling you that you’re too picky because you’re not dating or  because you can’t find your person?  Dating Rule #007:  Don’t listen to other peoples negative opinions.  Whether you want the prince or the hooker, do what your inner self is telling you. Hold tight to your standards and don’t give them up.  Your person will come in front of you at some point, making the journey well worth the wait.  You’re the cherry on the top of that tree…why spend time with someone picking up

So you’ve been dating a few months, everything’s going quite well, and now you’re invited to go on a trip, spending a weekend together….togetherness! Nervous?  That’s perfectly normal, and I’m sure you’re partner feels exactly the same.   Nervous, excited, anxious for the feelings and positive vibes you two will be creating together during the next few days.  Ah, the bliss of a new relationship. So here you are the evening before, packing your bag and nervously wishing you could take the whole closet.   What are you going to do? Tomorrow morning

How do you not take it personally when someone doesn’t want to see you anymore, or when your issues just aren’t on the same page?  Well, look at it this way:  They did you a favor by letting you go so you can find the better match that is for you.  I wanted to say perfect match, but there really isn’t a perfect, although there is a really, really great match for you out there. Ya gotta get through the breakup, whether it’s after two dates or two years, and
