NO HANKY- PANKY, PURE FLIRTING



Hey all you women out there!!!! You don't have need extra ordinary looks to make the guys go drooling over you. I think that a fabulous smile and a few surefire flirting tips are enough to attract the opposite sex. The main thing is to look presentable enough for men to feel comfortable in taking a the “BIG GAMBLE”.

Locking eyes with the person you're flirting with for a few seconds, then slowly smiling and dropping the gaze would be a perfect start. Don't glare at him, just give him a incandescent look and look away. Repeat it at least thrice. And why would you do that? So that your target knows that it's he you're flirting with. Moreover it goes without saying that eye contact is a universal signal of openness.

Smiling comes second!!!! Its is absolutely the most amazing method in your flirting toolbox. According to experts, one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive and approachable is to smile. Smile stands for a thousand words unspoken & is the international signal of friendliness. Another most winning flirting techniques a woman can use is the exposure of her neck. This can be done with a head tilt to one side, the classic hair flip, the asymmetrical position attracts attention, exposes your neck, and gives you the opportunity to lock eyes. This works out to be extra effective because it's sensual and it sends a signal to the guy that they are worth a second look.

We tend to dress up or groom ourselves subconsciously when we're attracted to someone, by smoothing down our hair or clothes or checking our lipstick in a compact. Combining a grooming gesture with a smile and a gaze would be an add on. Try making the most of your red , moist lips because they symbolise youth, sex and fertility. Everybody gets attracted to it consciously or unconsciously. Wearing a red lipstick which not only gives your lips that sensuous look, but also makes your smile more prominent and your teeth whiter. An extra-shiny lip gloss can also give you an advantage, making your lips look moist and kissable. The act of crossing your legs, apart from being a measure of etiquette, is quite seductive to men, and it makes them desire to see & explore more. Obviously, the arch sends a sexual message and mimics a woman's curves, and sends a man's heart racing. Once you and your flirting target have started talking and exchanging ideas, use these tips to deepen the captivation and attraction. Don't forget to smile and maintain eye contact as they are speaking, and concentrate totally on what they are saying. There is hardly anyone who a guy finds more attractive than someone who finds you uttering appeasing and soothing. Smiling is crucial here. Finally, touching each other casually, as if unintended, yet understood and enjoyed by both such as brushing the shoulder or elbow, and uttering sweet-nothings into each other's ears go ahead to make it a total success.

WHAT IS LOVE?


What is love? This mystical, mythical question goes back to ancient times—without a coherent answer. Each person’s experience of love is uniquely varied, and each person’s understanding of love is different from the next. Love varies from one period to another along the length of a human life; a person can love different people in the different phases of his life, but each experience will be different from the other. Love is a basic dimension of human experience that is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry, willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen. It manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification. Summing it up, or pinning it down, are both impossible. Love is like a continually shattering mirror that always leaves behind images etched in people’s hearts; but it will itself remain a mystery forever. Many people give themselves over to this mystery, but while love can produce the most tender and delicate feelings in anyone’s soul, it alone can open a window in the hearts of a very few. Love is a kind of performance of the self, a satisfaction of the self; love is a kind of need, or is a much-needed satisfaction. Love is a kind of tendency toward both secret transformation and public transition. No matter what, if you fall in love with an actual person, you can feel your body making various unexpected changes. You might also realize that changes are taking place in your thoughts as never before.

If this kind of phenomenon appears in my life, I would presume that I am in love, for these phenomena are a form of love in themselves. Regardless of whether these phenomena last a long time or a short time, whether they are painful or enjoyable, they constitute riches, which will inscribe themselves in your heart for ever. In brief, as a living human being with a soul, it is impossible not to fall in love in the course of a lifetime. Love is like the sunshine; no matter how tightly you shut down your heart, the sunlight will find a way to shine into it. Love’s process is unstoppable. Therefore, my advice would be: Don’t waste your precious time trying to define the meaning of love. The best definition is already in your own heart and mind.

VALENTINES DAY- HOW IT STARTED


Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day falls on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, often anonymously. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. The day is now most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid.
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or
Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first '
valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
