3 Reasons to Invest in Ripple, The New Bitcoin

Digital currencies have emerged as one of the most profitable investments of 2017.

You don’t have to take our word for it. Just take a look at the returns:

Ethereum is up 2,000%.
Bitcoin is up 744,233%.
Litecoin is up 750%.
With the digital currency floodgates open, early investors are becoming accustomed to four-digit returns.

But there’s a catch. Many of the currencies listed above have already achieved mainstream investors. They will continue to generate profits (making them valid investments), but you will never be able to buy them for under $1.

Many digital currency investors are hunting for the next big altcoin, hoping to find a new Bitcoin for the right price.

And the best contender is Ripple. In the last year alone, Ripple is up 3,733%.

Ripple is not your traditional digital currency. Calling it one is the equivalent of calling a horse a mule — you vastly undersell the currency’s potential.

Today, Ripple is busy revolutionizing the way we transfer money and receive payments. Soon, it will change the way we bank and conduct business around the globe.

Over the course of this report, we are going to educate you on Ripple’s potential and expose the top three reasons you need to be investing now. By the end of this report, we hope that you'll rush to the exchanges.

What Is Ripple?
Ripple, in the simplest sense, is a real-time payment system. It allows money to be exchanged between individuals regardless of their locations or their banks.

The digital asset that runs the Ripple network is XRP. When you buy Ripple, you are also purchasing XRP. If you are new to digital currency investing, the best way to think of XRP is as the fuel that powers Ripple.

It is necessary for the technology’s function, but when investing, you will generally refer to XRP as Ripple.

Ripple was introduced in 2012, making it an early mover in the digital currency space. It was also one of the first currencies to have a function outside of being a medium for exchange.

Ripple was developed by an experienced team with deep roots in the digital currency world. Many members of this development team worked with Bitcoin. This included Ripple’s cofounders, OpenCoin CEO Chris Larsen and CTO Jed McCaleb.

Investors considering Ripple need to understand the relationship between OpenCoin and currency. OpenCoin handles many of our digital currency transactions around the world.

OpenCoin, and subsequently Ripple, has received backing from dozens of venture capitalists, including Andreessen Horowitz, FF Angel IV, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Vast Ventures, and Bitcoin Opportunity Fund.

But how does Ripple function? How exactly is it unique in the digital currency world?

Those questions transition us to the first reason that you should be investing in Ripple: the Interledger Protocol.

The Interledger Protocol
Everyone is in agreement that our current financial system is flawed.

Transferring money to individuals outside of your bank is a grueling process. And you might as well forget about exchanging money overseas unless you love having a headache.

And that is where Ripple comes in.

Ripple operates something called an Interledger Protocol. This is a use of blockchain technology that makes Ripple unique.

Believe it or not, the idea behind the Interledger Protocol is actually thousands of years old, dating back to Medieval Arabia.

Years ago, individuals would exchange money through an agent.

You, as an individual, would walk up to your agent and give him money with instructions to send it to your friend. This agent would then send it to the agent of your friend.

Even though money didn’t exchange hands on either end, a record of the money being moved was put in place. The receiving person’s agent would be responsible for moving the money along to the intended recipient.

Ripple simplifies that process, issuing a monetary payment through a digital channel. Similar to the medieval method, the money never actually changes hands.

Bitcoin edges lower as US financial regulator launches cryptocurrency market probe

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the digital currencies market, according to the Wall Street Journal citing its sources.
People familiar with the matter told the newspaper, that as part of the investigation, the regulatory agency has issued “scores of subpoenas” to obtain information from technology companies and advisers tied to the virtual currency trade.

The SEC is looking into the structure for sales and pre-sales of initial coin offerings (ICOs) which are not as heavily regulated as public offerings. ICOs allow cryptocurrency start-ups to raise funds through the issue of digital tokens.

The SEC has previously launched inquiries suggesting that many token sales and ICOs may be violating securities laws.

Earlier this month, the SEC Chairman Jay Clayton pledged increased scrutiny on companies that seek to “capitalize on the perceived promise” of an increased stock value following an announcement of investment in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

Bitcoin slipped about 2 percent following the SEC report. It then clawed back some losses to trade at $10,654 as of 9:25am GMT.

12 Important Things You Should Know About People And Life

1. Some people will resent your happiness for no reason, and take pleasure when things are not going your way. Keep it together no matter what the cost. Stand straight, chin up, and smile. Do not give anyone the satisfaction of seeing you suffer, that what they had hoped for came true.

2. There is always a breakthrough every breakdown. A star in a dark sky, a light at the end of the tunnel. Pain is needed for one to be more appreciative of the good things.

3. Nature is not something to be taken for granted. Don’t lose sight of what’s around you because your eyes are glued to a screen. There’s just something about nature, you know? It can bring you serenity that will make you hopeful.

4. Even if you think you’re hard as hell to be with, someone is glad to be by your side through it all.

5. Do not deprive people of kindness and respect. Okay, some may not deserve it but don’t stoop down to their level. Let them be. At the end of the day, you’re the one going to bed with a smile on your face.

6. Hatred is a heavy thing to carry and grudges will slow you down. You don’t need anything that will stop you from becoming the bigger person. Forgive.

7. Despair is part of the story just like euphoria is. Both are needed for balance; one cannot exist without the other.

8. It’s definitely fine to be different so embrace your own weirdness. It’s your life and as long as you don’t hurt anyone else, who the hell cares?

9. Drop the dead weight in your life. Let go of anything that hurts you and makes you feel bad. Feed your soul only with positivity and goodness.

10. Feeling down doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. It’s okay to be sad and eat ice cream. It’s okay to be mad and want to throw things. It’s okay to be frustrated and give up for a while. Just remember to compose yourself after and know better next time.

11. No one is ever truly better than the other. We’re all equally beautiful and blessed with fortitude; and we all have a common goal which is to be happy. So why not be kind with each other and thrive for betterment all together?

12. Validate your feelings. It is needed for you to know yourself better, to know what you’re truly capable of, and to know how strong you are.

Lack Of Sleep Is More Deadly Than Starvation

Death by starvation can take an excruciatingly long time — up to two months in certain cases (although this depends on a number of factors, such as existing body fat). But the longest a person has survived without sleep is eleven days — and, needless to say, his cognitive functionality was basically nonexistent by the end of those presumably miserable eleven days. More recently, a healthy man died after going eleven days without sleep. Sleep allows our bodies to repair and heal themselves, as well as engage in other vital functions — so when we skip out on it, even in order to do something we're excited about, we only hurt ourselves.

Earthquakes Have The Ability To Produce Gold, No Cash Required

Many elements, such as gold, are just sitting around about six miles below Earth's surface. When an earthquake occurs, water inside the fault vaporizes and mixes with silica to form gold. Unfortunately, it would take at least 100,000 years for this process to create any amount of gold worth mining.

10 The World's Longest Mountain Chain Is 40,389 Miles Long—And Is Located Underwater

The world's longest mountain range runs 40,389 miles around the world, and 90% of it is covered by ocean water. Called the Mid-Ocean Ridge, this underwater range was formed by magma rising to fill gaps that formed as Earth's plates shifted. Its mountains average a depth of 8,200 feet below the water's surface. In comparison, the longest chain of mountains on land is South America's Andes, which is a paltry 4,350 miles long.

Should I Invest in Bitcoin in 2018? Here are 4 Things You Have to Know

2017 started with a bang as Bitcoin shot through the $1000 mark with no signs of slowing down. As a result I get about 2 emails a day from people around the world who are asking one very simple question: “Should I invest in Bitcoin?”

Before we begin, I want to get something out of the way – Bitcoin is not a company or a stock, it’s a currency.

What does it mean to invest in Bitcoin?

In order to answer this question the first thing you need to answer is what do you mean when you say you want to invest in Bitcoin. Do you want to buy the currency in hopes it will appreciate it value? Do you want to invest in Bitcoin related companies? Are you looking to day trade with Bitcoins?

Buying and holding

The most common form of “investing” in Bitcoin is buying the currency in hopes it will appreciate in value (also knowns as “hodling”, see the origins of the term here). If this is the case then you need to decide for yourself if you think this is a good time to buy. Meaning, do you think the price will continue to rise.

Don’t take anyone’s advice about what will happen with the currency, do your homework, learn about Bitcoin and come to a conclusion. Personally I believe we are just starting, but that’s my own opinion and you shouldn’t consider that as investment advice as well.

A few pointers for buying and holding Bitcoins:

Never invest more than you are willing/able to lose – Bitcoin is a very risky investment and you should keep in that in mind at all times.
After buying Bitcoins make sure to move them into your own personal wallet and never leave them at the exchange. My personal recommendation is to use a hardware wallet to store your Bitcoins. If you can’t afford a hardware wallet, try a paper wallet.
Make sure to buy Bitcoins only from exchanges that have proven their reputation.

Buy Bitcoins through Dollar cost averaging – This means that you don’t buy all of your Bitcoins in one trade but instead buy a fixed amount every month, week or even day throughout the year. This way you average the price over the course of a whole year

Dealing With Depression

Sadness can be a difficult emotion to deal with, not only due to the pain it causes, but also because of the factors that caused the sadness in the first place. Sadness can be the result of loss, helplessness, or disappointment, among many other things. It is important to remember, though, that sadness is one of the most common and natural human emotions, and is something that will ultimately help us appreciate our happy times.
Sometimes, though, it is possible for sadness to deepen, and this may be a sign that you are suffering from a form of depression. If you feel as though you are increasingly sad, and feel like your sadness is difficult to explain, this information on depression may help.

What Is Depression?
Depression is a disorder that is evidenced by excessive sadness, loss of interest in enjoyable things, and low motivation.
It is normal to experience feelings of sadness and dispair in response to adverse life events. Such events could include loss, major life changes, stress, or disappointment. In most cases, the sad feelings resolve as you come to terms with the changes in your life. In situations such as bereavement, these feelings may persist for months and return at significant times, such as birthdays and anniversaries related to the lost loved one. Provided you have times when you can enjoy things, however, this sadness is not a sign of depression.
Depression is common. One in three people will experience a major depressive episode at some stage in their lives. While most cases of depression are mild, about one person in ten will have a moderate or severe episode.

Physical Symptoms:

Loss of appetite with excessive loss of weight.

Loss of interest in sex.

Loss of energy, even when not physically active.

Loss of sleep despite feeling exhausted. Sleep is typically restless and unsatisfying with early morning wakening (one to two hours earlier than usual). Some people, however, may actually sleep a lot more than usual.

Slowed activity and speech.

How To Make Him Jealous

Every now and then, there may come a time when you get pissed off with a guy.

You may like him, you may be dating him, or you may have broken up with him.

But at the bottom of it all, you may want his attention or you may want to prove your worth to him.

And when you’re upset with a guy or just crying out for his attention, there are a few ways to pierce his heart and make him sit up and take notice of you.

And it all comes down to this.

For a guy to take notice of you, you need to become desirable in his eyes.

Better yet, you need to make him feel like you’re unattainable.

And the only way to do all this is by understanding how to make a guy jealous.

There are some ways to whet his appetite for your company. If your diary is always free, whenever he wants, he won't have as much value on your time. You need to create balance, use psychology that scarcity increases value. It can be hard because on some level you will feel deprived yourself. However, I promise you that not being as available will increase his interest in you.

1. Don't pick up the phone immediately every time he calls. An odd time even let it go to voicemail. Let those old texts lie, texting is really too impersonal, you want him with you, 2nd best is calling.

2. Have BlackOut times, like an exercise classes, afternoon tea or lunch with a friend. If he wants to see you Mondays and you are tired, make an excuse, don't burst a gut.

3. Make sure he knows that though you are unavailable sometimes, you are available...say...Saturday night.

4. Remember if he can 'slot' you into his diary at times that suit him only, i.e you go out of your way to suit him. He may not then see you at times which would be better for your timetable, like when you've more time to get ready, have your hair done, you have a free evening and day off next day. If you want those times filled, you cut down on his other times that don't suit you.

5. Never change your arrangements, letting down friends to be with him. Don't let him call the shots. Your time is important too, he needs to respect that. Don't be afraid to make an arrangement for, say, Saturday night if he hasn't made solid plans to be with you. This will make him book you in advance.

6. Make sure he knows you have a life you enjoy when you aren't with him. This makes you more attractive, and while you don''t want him jealous, let him wonder what YOU are up to in your busy, fun life, rather than assume you're there, all plans on hold trying to spend more time with him. He will feel trapped and like spending time with you is a chore if you nag him.

7. Take up a new hobby, take pride in your appearance, make subtle changes like a different lipstick, blow dry your hair differently, small changes no matter how subtle leave him thinking there is more to learn about you.

8. Have a good sense of humour.

9. Do not text, or call too much during the day, the less you are there through texts, mails, calls, the more he will have to spend time WITH you, which is what you want. Save your exciting news, bits of information, updates until he is with you..Keep phonecalls and text to the absolute minimum, just to make arrangements. Smile when you speak on the phone, speak slowly, but GET OFF

How To Get Him Back Without Seeming Needy Or Desperate

If you're a woman who has tried to get your ex back, you've
most likely taken the "desperate times call for desperate
measures" approach, causing you to do all kinds of
unfortunate things, including the walk of shame and the
drunk dial. These unflattering behaviors render you his
doormat, and ultimately push him away.

1. Don't disagree with why things ended. If he brings up
the reasons why your relationship ended, don't disagree with
him. Find the truth in what he's saying , acknowledge it and
apologize for it. It's better to be happy and loved than to be
right. Wanting to be right is your ego stepping in and
overshadowing your soul's desire to be happy and loved.

2. Don't try to convince him of all the reasons why he
should come back to you. Trying to convince your ex why
he should come back to you pushes him further away. It
reinforces why he's better off without you because you
appear needy and desperate . Needy and desperate are traits
that will kill any attraction he may have for you.Men are drawn to women who are happy with themselves.
So, be happy, live your life and let your radiant energy cause
him to second guess why you're not together. Remember,
you are a prize. You should never have to convince him to
be with you.

3. Take responsibility for your role in the breakup . In
every breakup you've experienced, you're the common
denominator. Instead of blaming him for what's happened,
look within and determine how you contributed to the
demise of your relationship. For instance, if you've tended to
question your exes because you have a hard time trusting
them, you have trust issues . Do the inner work to learn how
to trust yourself so that you become more trusting. If he
comes back, this issue won't resurface and cause another
breakup.
4. Let him come to you. A man places a higher value on
getting what he has to work for. When you miss your ex,
don't make it easy for him. Instead of calling him during a
weak moment, call a supportive friend. The space created
lets him miss you and wonder what you're doing. He will
contact you because he wants to see you, wants a booty call
(decline politely), misses you, etc. When he does, respond
accordingly. Avoid having sex with him until the issues that
led to the break up are resolved.
5. Put yourself first. Put yourself first and do what's best for
you. When he comes to you, don't pick up where the
relationship left off. At this point, he has more of an
incentive to resolve the issues that led to the breakup
because he wants you back. Now is the time to address and
work through these issues. Don't let him convince you that
the problem was yours. Even if the problem started with
you, the way he responded or didn't respond made things
worse.
Do the inner work to resolve these issues
without letting him know you're doing the work. The reason
you don't need to let him know is because he won't believe it
until he experiences the changes. Just do the work and see
how he responds. If he responds positively, you're moving in
the right direction. If he continues responding in the way
that contributed to your breakup, he's not the one for you .
6. Hold a clear and positive vision. Be clear on how you
want your relationship to be this time around. Then behave
and act in ways that support your vision and make you feel
good about yourself. Let things unfold naturally and stay
open to the outcome. If you find yourself becoming obsessed
with getting your ex back , relax and trust that things will
work out for your greater good. If he doesn’t come back ,
understand that there may be someone else who is better for
you. Let God, the higher power, the Universe or whatever
you believe in bring you the man you're supposed to be
with.

When you feel ignored by your partner

When you don't feel very important to your partner anymore
and it's driving you crazy, you can end up saying and doing all
kinds of things that just make your partner pull even further
away from you.
Whether your partner believes that he or she is guilty of
ignoring you is irrelevant because in most instances, feeling ignored is all in the eye
of the beholder.

When you feel ignored, no amount of logic and explanation can make it better.
And you can still be jealous and feel ignored even though your partner feels he or she
is giving you lots of attention.
So what do you do if you're feeling ignored by your partner and your jealousy
causes you to start fights which threaten to ruin your relationship?

1. Ask yourself if there are times when you don't feel ignored by your partner. If
there are times when you feel like you are getting the love you want from him or
her, then weigh how much of the time you feel you're being ignored.

2. If you're not getting what you want from your relationship most of the time, then
stop being angry and take a step to figure out if you can get it from this relationship.

The absolute truth is that you can't force someone to act in loving ways toward you if they
don't want to.
Stop the unhealthy cycle of being angry and fighting and look at this relationship in
an honest light. Look at whether you both want the same things overall and if you
do, then find ways to come together.
If not, ask for what you want and pay attention to what your partner says and
does. Notice whether he or she comes toward you or away from you during the next
few weeks or months.
Then you'll have your answer.
If you're being ignored, take a bird's eye view of your situation and honestly assess
whether it's a deal breaker for you or not.
If it isn't, you can learn not to be jealous in those situations and you can learn to
enjoy your relationship as you once did.
If it is, then take a step to see if change is possible and if it isn't, as much as it may be
painful to you, take a step toward leaving so you can create a better relationship for
yourself.

Why Can’t I Find Mr. Right?

Often times, women have asked the question why can’t I find “Mr. Right?” Does he really
exist? The answer is maybe “Mr. Right” is right in front of you but you haven’t taken
the time to notice him, or maybe you can’t see him because you are spending too much
time on the wrong man and you are missing your opportunity to meet “Mr. Right.”

Real talk ladies, you have to know yourself first to really know what you are
looking for in a man…

Ladies, a man may not fit your “check list” exactly, but if he’s a good person, hard
working, and respects you, isn’t that what is most important? I’m not saying a man
should not have specific qualities that are important to you because there might be
some definite deal breakers such as he may not respect you, or he may be someone
who cheats or is abusive. I’m just saying don’t close the door on a man too soon just
because he does not fit everything you want. A lot of women get it twisted on what’s
really important and what makes a good man. Just because a man looks good, drives
a nice car, has status, money or power does not necessarily make him a great catch.

The bottom line is you should have standards, but try to be a little flexible if a man
does not fit everything you want entirely. The truth is no one is perfect, but there
may be someone out there perfect for you if you just open yourself up to him without
all the conditions and recognize his inner qualities. Also take the time to know
yourself before you try to find a man because you may be surprised to learn that
your own issues may be the reason that you have not found “Mr. Right.”
Please endeavour to leave a comment and tell us what you think. ....

How do you let go of insecurities and just trust the guy you're with when you're afraid of getting hurt?

There is no 100% guarantee that your partner will not cheat again. There is no 100%
guarantee that you two will stay together. At the same time, there is no guarantee
that your partner WILL cheat again (or at all). There is no guarantee that you two
will break up either.

That's the thing about life and relationships . They can be nearly
impossible to predict.
It's probable that, when you fell in love with your partner and you two started
your relationship, you would not have guessed that he or she would have an affair .
Maybe you had your concerns and worries, but it's highly likely that you did not
think your love would cheat.
Yet, he or she did.
Now, if you have decided to try to rebuild trust and repair your relationship, your
mind might be overrun with fears that your partner will break your heart by
cheating again. These fears are understandable and they can also stand in the way
of you being able to do what it takes to help put your relationship back on track.
It's a real quandary.
You don't want to be lied to and hurt by infidelity ever again and so you get
cautious and tentative. This cautiousness can hold you back from opening up to the
healing and growth that's necessary to save your relationship.
It can feel like one step forward and many steps back all of the time.
It would be great if there was some absolutely reliable way to know-- without a
doubt-- that your partner is actually telling you the truth now and that he or she
has really changed.
But there's not.
However, you can be wise and aware and, at the same time, begin to consciously let
go of your tentativeness and holding yourself back. You can pay close attention to
signs in your partner, yourself and your relationship that help you make the best
decisions about your future.
Look for these 4 indicators that relationship trust is building and healing...
#1: Communication is more open than closed.
Healthy communication is key to any relationship-- especially one that is rebuilding
after an affair. Go within yourself and remember a time (in the past or more
recently) when you felt relaxed, at ease and as if you and your partner were really
listening to one another.
Next, think about a time when you two were rigidly set in your own points of view
and it seemed that neither of you was really hearing the other.
These are examples of being open and being closed. It's important that you know
how each way of communicating feels so that when you're talking with your partner
and you feel more open than usual and he or she seems more open to you, you can
notice it. Please endeavour to leave a comment and spell out your opinion.  Thanks r

Can you become friends after the break-up?

Answer: Yes and no. Sure we all know couples who are tighter after they split up but this is a rare situation and I personally think that these types of friendships still harbor unresolved issues from the relationship that make it so that neither party is ready or able to fully move on. While being openly hostile to an ex also demonstrates unresolved issues/feelings and an inability to move forward, being buddy-buddy with a former flame is not as mature and civilized as it may seem on the surface. That said it is more than possible, and the most desirable thing, if you and an ex can reach a place of peaceful co-existence and mutual respect. Please share  your opinions below....

How to Cope When Your Parents Don't Like the Person You Love

It will probably happen to you at least once in your life. You'll fall for somebody that your parents don't like. Sometimes their disapproval will be valid, other times it will be irrational, but no matter what it will be hard for you to deal with.
What do you do when your parents can't stand the person you’re dating? Before taking on the role of diplomat, or even worse the role of family agitator, there are some things that you need to examine. You need to take an honest look at your romantic motivations and the reasons for your parents' objections.

Examining Your Motivations

Why are you dating this person? Be brutally honest. Are you crazy in love or loving driving your parents crazy? If you are motivated by rebellion the simplest and right thing to do is end the relationship.
It isn't fair for you to use somebody else to get to your parents. With the relationship out of the way you will be able to focus on the real issue of why you feel the need to resort to such drastic rebellion in the first place.

Do you have real and deep feelings for this person, or do you have less heart felt reasons for the relationship? Are you dating this

9 WAYS TO SHOW SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM WITHOUT WORDS ...

Telling someone you love them, that’s one thing; but when you show someone you love them, that’s a whole other thing. How much weight you add behind this four letter word gives meaning to what you say, simply because the fundamental fact remains that action speaks louder than words. Think back to the times when someone said they loved you and when they backed up their confession with gestures. There’s a difference, isn't there? So, say it, (scratch that), show it. Show someone you love them before it’s too late.

1. ACTIVELY LISTEN

Even the simplest of gestures to show your love can make someone melt like butter on a stack of hot pancakes... and it doesn't get any simpler than listening. Listen to every word that escapes their parted lips even when it seems a little boring. And when they ask you, "Have I told you this before?," say "Yes, but tell it again," and act like you have forgotten a detail or two because they love telling this particular story and they chose you to share it with you (again)! Don’t be distracted, don’t interrupt, just listen. Listen to show someone you love them.

2. RANDOM SURPRISES

You will learn a lot about a person when you really listen to what they say, even in casual conversation. I remember once at a supermarket I casually mentioned to a friend what my favourite childhood cereal was. Ever since then, whenever I am upset, she brings me a box or two. It’s small surprises like this that lets someone know you love them. When they say, "OMG! You remembered!" that’s when you know you did it right! That’s when you are letting them know even the slightest detail about them is worth remembering.

3. TIME

Always make time for the people you love. It is understandable when you have to cancel plans because you are busy, but hardly making the effort to set aside time to meet up can convey that you are simply not interested. Set aside time to show your love even if it is picking the phone to call someone. "When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life you’ll never get back." – Rick Warren

4. DON’T SAY I TOLD YOU

To error is human nature, and sometimes regardless of their better judgement, they still make the mistake. Has there been a time when you told someone not to do something because you knew they would regret it, but they still did it anyway? Yes, you knew better but telling someone "I told you so" is not going to make them feel better. The mistake is done and they too know they should have listened to you. Comfort them instead and remind them that everyone messes up, and that it is more important to learn from their mistake than to dwell on it.

5. DON’T WAIT TO BE ASKED

Part of loving someone is making their life easier. This doesn't always have to be executed in grand gestures, like loaning money to a friend or family member or driving them across the state. It can be in the small things too, like taking the trash out without being asked, or once in a while doing something for them which they don’t like doing. I hate cleaning the hair out of my hairbrush. It just irks me and I practically cringe my face every time I clean it. I have a friend who noticed this and still cleans it for me despite my protest not to do so.

6. COOK YOUR HEART OUT

They say the way to man’s (or woman’s) heart is through his (or her) stomach. Most people usually cook on special occasions like birthdays and Valentine’s Day, but why not choose a random day instead to cook for that special person? Find out their favourite dishes and maybe even go all the way with table settings and a customized menu. Nothing says "I love you" like a home-cooked meal laboured in love. Bonus if you can cook for them and surprise them at their workplace!

7. FORGIVE AND FORGET

Sometimes the very people you love can hurt you the most and it is precisely because you love them that it stings a lot more. But with love comes forgiveness and you shouldn't say you have forgiven them only to throw their mistake in their face while having a fight. It is hard to forgive and forget because once you are hurt your defense mechanism is up, and you don’t want to be vulnerable again. So, while you say you forgive, you hold on to that grievance and that’s not really forgiving or forgetting, is it? Just remember that no one is perfect and it is worth it when it comes to forgiving and forgetting the slip-ups of someone you love.

7 REASONS GIRLS ARE ATTRACTED TO BAD BOYS AND HOW TO CURB IT...

There are reasons girls are attracted to bad boys. Unfortunately, not every story that involves a bad boy has a happy ending. Many of the endings are sad and leave a girl heartbroken. If you talk to a woman past her mid-twenties, you usually find out about how there was a bad boy in her past and about the lesson she learned from that experience. Let’s talk about the reasons girls are attracted to bad boys and how to move past that.

1. IT’S A CHALLENGE

One of the reasons girls are attracted to bad boys is that they seem like a challenge to them. It is something they have to work for. It isn’t always easy to get a bad boy’s attention. You don’t always learn there is a reason for that till much later. The reason is usually because a classic bad boy’s mind is on other things besides finding a good, caring girl to date.

2. THEY  BELIEVE THEY  CAN TAME THEM

Girls very mistakenly believe that they can tame a bad boy. There are very rare occasions when this is true. Usually, in those cases, a bad boy had a very good heart underneath his bad boy exterior, or the bad boy exterior wasn’t the true person; it was just an act. For the most part, a bad boy is not going to change his ways. He is who he is and only he can change that, not you.

3. IT’S EXCITING

Dating a bad boy seems exciting. That is the case at first, but trying to have a real relationship with a bad boy is not easy because this excitement becomes stress. Their antics get old quickly. If you are wondering how I know all of these things, I made the mistake of spending part of my life with a bad boy, too. It did not have a very happy ending, so I hope I can shed some light on this subject to save you the trouble.

4. IT’S REBELLIOUS

Sometimes dating a bad boy seems like it goes against everything you have ever known. It is different and new. It can seem like a whole new world to you. But it does not always open a part of the world that you want to see or be a part of. Think carefully before you head down this path.

5. THEY  SEEM LIKE A PRIZE

A bad boy can seem like a prize. After all, no one can get them in a committed relationship but you, right? This can make a girl feel like she is really special. But this prize does not always feel like a prize after a while. It can actually bring you a lot of heartache.

6. THEY ARE CHARMING

Bad boys can be charming. They have usually learned to stay out of as much trouble as they can by being this way. But charming is not the same thing as true and real personality traits. Charm can disappear when things don’t go their way. Don’t be taken in by this alone.

7. THEY HAVE COOL  TASTE

Let’s just be honest here, girls. A lot of times bad boys do have good taste. They drive cool cars, maybe a bike, they wear good clothes. They have the ability to just look cool. But appearances can be deceiving and cool taste really doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things, does it?

Getting involved with a bad boy can lead to a lot of heartache later on for you. Have you learned this lesson the hard way? What traits do you now look for in a guy?

7 TIPS FOR MOVING ON WHILE STILL IN LOVE WITH YOUR EX ...

It can be really difficult when you're moving on while still in love with your ex. Breaking up is hard, especially when love is involved, but that doesn't mean that you can't work on moving on while still in love with your ex. Exes come and go, and you've got to be able to toughen up and really get over them. Take a look below on how to move on while you are still in love with your ex girlfriends or boyfriends!

1. WORK ON FORGIVING YOURSELF

Always, when you're moving on while still in love with your ex, work on forgiving yourself. It sounds way easier than it is, but you need to do it. Forgive yourself for losing yourself in the relationship, allow yourself time to really get to know yourself. Remember, all relationships that end are hard, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to get over it. You've just got to try!

2. PRACTICE RELEASING REGRETS

Releasing all of your regrets is one surefire way to move on when you're still in love with your ex. You could write down all of your regrets on a piece of paper and burn it; that way you can completely forget about them. Releasing your regrets is really going to allow more room in your mind and soul for someone to step in.

3. REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES

Dwelling on the good times isn't going to help you really get over and move on from your relationship, you've got to dwell on the bad times. Think about all of the fights that you had, think about all of the bad times that he or she ruined, think about all of the horrible times in your relationship. Know what they are, so that you won't repeat them in the future or fool yourself into believing an idyllic view of your relationship.

4. RECONNECT WITH OLD FRIENDS

Moving on should be all about reconnecting with old friends. You want to maintain friendships that you might not have had when you were with your ex. Ask a friend you haven't seen for ages over for coffee – catch up and see what happens! This is truly one of the best steps for moving forward in your life!

5. CREATE A DEEP SEPARATION

When you and your ex finally call it completely quits, you've got to cut off all of the communication. I know it's hard, but why keep their number in your phone? Why keep texting them or calling them? Why do you need to talk to them constantly when you are trying to get over them?

6. GO THROUGH THE GRIEVING

Grieving your relationship is a natural process – and one that you need to go through. You need to make sure that you are going through this process, otherwise you might never, ever move on completely. Remember, it's natural to eat ice cream and cry. Let yourself!

7. REMEMBER THE BENEFITS OF MOVING ON

Finally, think of all of the different benefits of moving on! You finally have the time to be single, to go out whenever you want without someone keeping your time. You finally have all of the free time in the world and no one tying you down. Keep that in mind!

These are just a few of the things that can absolutely help you move on, even if you are in love with your ex. So, have you ever been in love with an ex or can't get over one? Give up your story!

Is He Into Me, Or Is It Just Sex?

Many men will answer under the gun but it might not be the authentic and sincere
response you're hoping for. Also, different people communicate their affections in
different ways.
While frequent sex is a clear indication of your man's physical interest in you,
gauging his other interests/intentions require paying attention to his actions of
affection. How can you know if he likes you in other ways?
Pay attention to the ways your guy connects with you:

Does he phone or text to just connect or is it always a booty call?

Does he express words or messages of endearment? Words expressing affection
and care?

Perhaps he does things for you to help you out when you're having a hard day or
are faced with a difficult task?

Gifts of any kind? Large or small? The simplest things can be the most endearing –
even a little note says a lot.

Does he ever go out of his way to do or share something special with you?

How likely is he to meet with you just for your company and not so much just for
sex?

Does he make time for you as a priority?

Lots to consider here. Answering these questions can give you clues as to how much
your lover might be thinking or caring about you beyond the sexual. Depending on
how new your relationship is, the extent to these affectionate efforts might differ.
And too, not everyone expresses their care and attention in the same way.
How do you like to be loved? Tell him that. You might find that the most important
indicator that he's thinking about, or likes you, is that he pays attention to your
preferences and makes deliberate attempts to connect with you on that level.
It's clear you connect on the physical level but that's hardly the full picture. Think
about how you like to be loved, tell him about it, and see if he can meet you there.
One way or another you'll discover if you're truly compatible in a deeper way.
