Pick up lines that I encounter

Here is a list of pick up lines that I've heard and lets just say they didn't work. Have a good laugh at the luck of guys I get my way.

-Oh, I see your working and here I was going to hit on you. Its probably unprofessional if I do, so I guess I wont. Unless of course you want me to?

-The world is coming to an end. Come with me if you want to live. (My favorite)

-Hey, I'm a chef and I would love to feed you.

-Him: Hey, can I buy you a drink? (At a wedding)
Me: But the drinks here are free.
Him: Oh, right.

-Are those real? Wanna go out some time?

-(He's in high school) Boy I thought you were younger. Shoot! Well wanna get some ice cream some time any ways?

-You want to go to Hooters some time?

-Me: Nice to meet you (put out my hand to shake his)
Him: Wow your cold. Why don't you just stay right here and let me warm you up.

-I'd give my right arm to be able to hold you

-What plans do you have for New Years? Cuz I was thinking we could have our own little party together.

What horrible lines have you heard?

Being Needy

Females and Males have tendentious to be "Needy." However lets distinguish the reasoning behind this as well as whats acceptable and what isn't.

When someone is "needy" it typically because he or she really likes that significant other. Nothing wrong with that. However you need to know how to play it cool and what's crossing the boundaries so you don't come off as crazy.

Step one: Don't text too much
I know you want to know how he/she is doing throughout their day. You wish you had a spy cam strapped to their forehead just so you could watch their every move, but that's where you gotta draw the line and acknowledge you're being mentally crazy. You can't spy on a person, you can put a GPS tracker on them, and you defiantly cant storm up their phone with a ton of text messages and phone calls. So play it cool. Only send three messages a day. One to say good morning, one to say how was your day, and one to say have a good night. Now if the person doesn't respond to your messages then don't go crazy. They could be busy so be patient for them to replay and don't send any thing you may regret (photos). Just those three messages and it will hopefully be enough to start up a conversation. If they still don't reply to any of your messages, wait till the next day. Still nothing, then they aren't into you and you need to move on. Remember your investment is better spent on someone else rather then wasting it.

Step Two: Only see him twice a week
I know you want to see him more then this, but at the beginning your asking for too much. You need to give each other some space and time to consider if he/she is the one for you. Twice a week isn't too much to ask for and allows each other to still live their separate lives. This one will be a tough one to do, but over time he/she if interested will ask to see you more and more and then you can both be "needy" but on the same level.

Step Three: Give their Facebook some space
When posting on his/her Facebook remember to do this solemnly. Yes, it feels good to let the whole world know that you're thinking about him/her, but after a while its no longer as seen as cute but annoying. Only post on his/her page maybe once a month. Besides that may seem too much. Also avoid commenting on every one of his/her photos. Just do a few here and there, but every photo shows your stalking his/her page and you have too much time on your hands.

Step Four: Don't rush things
In your head you love this person and want everyone else to know him/her. However your significant other may not feel the same way back or at least not yet. So take things slow. Don't have him/her meet the family or friends until you've been seeing each other for at least 6 months. Trust me this will save the "I knew I didn't like him/her" responses from everyone else. Also allows you both to establish as a couple and know each other well enough to know if you're ready to make a commitment to one another. If you do this too early you may risk running that person away.

Texting

In this day and age texting has taken over all forms of communication. We lack in putting in the effort. What happened to writing people, emailing, calling, and in a sense the capability to speak in person? As convenient as texting may be we need to step it up and start putting in the effort. There's no hearing a persons voice when they say sweet words on text, theres on true way of coming to an agreement during an argument because texts just draw out the fight, and in all cases it allows us to lack of true connection that you get when speaking face to face.

I propose that one should only text when sending your love photos, for short simple things that you wish to say to them such as "Have a good day!", however you should encourage yourself to call your companion once in a while. Tell them sweet words in person, listen to each others feelings in other forms besides text, and reminds yourself that love is not build on texting.

Song Of The Week

Relationships are a difficult thing. I've realized that just as I start to picture a future with someone it all crashes down to where I'm starting all over again. This song fits just that. It's difficult to picture a life with someone and then to realize they weren't the right one for you after all. So this goes out to all you men and women who know how that feels.

Song Title: Last Love Song

Artists: ZZ Ward

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlU4HJleg-o

We were never the marrying type, oh no,

We won't buy dishes or stained glass lights, oh no,

For a table we'll never sit at,

In the house that we won't ever get,

I won't wake up and pick out your tie, oh no,

You won't come home and kiss me at night, oh no,

We won't lie in this king bed for two,

Say goodbye to us saying "I dos,"

No more white picket fences,

No more lace veils or vows,

No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

Take these roses and this Jameson, oh no,

Find a subway that I can sit in, oh no,

Buy a one-way out of this city,

Everything that I need, got it with me,

No more white picket fences,

No more lace veils or vows,

No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

All these notes and all these words,

Are all that's left in me,

Bend these pages, count my woes,

One last song to set me free,

No more white picket fences,

No more lace veils or vows,

No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,

This is the last love song I'll ever write for you, oh.

Working for a Venue

My dream job after college is to design, own, and run my own venue for weddings and special events. I am very fortunate to be working at a venue currently. At work I get to be apart of everyone’s special day. Wither it is their birthday party, their fundraiser, or work anniversary. Every day is something new and every day is a dream that I get to help make reality. 

However we're currently in wedding season and although it’s a blessing to witness so many happy couples get married, it is also an experience that I am envious of. 

It makes me wonder:

When will this ever be me? 

When will I ever meet "the one?" 

What will my wedding be like? 

Will my wedding day make me cry and feel as ecstatic as all these other females? 

Will my fiancé purpose in some creative way that has my guests announcing it in their toasts? 

Who will toast at my wedding? 

How many people will be at my wedding? 

What will my wedding look like? 

And of course the list goes on…

No matter what the list of questions are, the only thing possible that I’ve found possible is to be patient, be yourself, and know that “the one” for you is the man who will come without looking. After that the wedding and your lives built together just comes naturally. 

Happy weddings to you all!

Song Of The Week

This song reminds me of breakups. They are a tough thing to get through, but if someone is unhappy in the relationship then its best that they break up with you no matter how much it may hurt. in response, the other person should be understanding and respect his/her wishes. You don't want to force someone to love you and if you're not what they are looking for then don't allow them to change you. You are who you are and someone out there will love you just for that. So move on and put the past behind you.  

Song Title: Titghtrope
Artist: Ron Pope
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrUYu0Vwycw

I woke up before the sun
Chased your ghost across the yard
Through the fog and tumbling dark 'til you were gone
Virginia, I can hardly breathe
I've forgotten how to sleep
And your face still haunts my dreams when I'm alone

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes, I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all

The things I gave away
They're not coming back for me
Should've learned from my mistakes but I never do
As I lay here all alone
I hang up before I call
And admit to all my faults to pass the time

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes, I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all

There's a place we used to go
Today I went alone
If there's a message in this song
Well I don't know

So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes, I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure

Yes, I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes, I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all

Let's Inspect Disney Prince The Beast

A while back ago I spoke about the Disney Prince Aladdin and how he's a great example as to how men act: greedy, selfish, and manipulative. Today I would like to bring forth yet another example by welcoming the Prince named Beast from the movie "Beauty and the Beast."

The beast is of course named honorably for his true colors. If it were up to me, many men would also get this virtuous award winning name. However his name alone does not represent him entirely for who he truly is. The beast in my opinion shows signs of anger management issues, insecurities, and being spoiled rotten.

Yes, the beast has anger management issues. There was numerous signs of this throughout the entire movie and any one with half a brain could tell. In fact I may even say he was abusive to Bell. There were moments were he acted like he was going to hit her and you could see her cringe to his body movement just waiting for the impact. Poor Bell! Let's not forget that he also held her prisoner, forced her to dine with him for dinner, yelled in her face, and cut her off from the rest of society. Meanwhile he was always angry shouting, and running off to his room. No one can quite fully know why he was angry, but I'm sure it was along the lines of his curse, or about the minor moments others were happy in his home, or/and about his so called "loneliness."

Which takes me onto how he shows signs of being spoiled Rotten. This man had all the money in the world, he had numerous people who worked for him, and a large castle to live in. In the beginning of the movie you see him receiving presents and he acts childish by being unappreciative. This is of course is why he got himself into the mess of being cursed. Yet he obviously never grows up. He still eats poorly at the dinner table having bell whip his face and having no manners. He has to have others bath him even though he's a full grown man. Lastly he never cleans up after himself. His cleaners turns into kitchen item and that still doesn't stop them from sweeping the floors.

Poor baby the Beast. No, I don't think so, in fact I don't feel bad for him at all! In my opinion he didn't receive a big enough punishment by being having his appearance look just as ugly as his insides. I mean even with this curse, he still had his waiters, butlers, and servants to pick up after him, he still had all his money, he got to stay and live in his massive castle, he got more muscular, and yet he self pitted himself just because he was no longer handsome. Yeah, I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Then there's his insecurities. He covered up all his old photos of himself so didn't have to look at them, he never likes catching his own reflection, and he apparently is too shy to want to step into the light so Bell could see his true appearance. Yes, this man has some serious insecurities and its no wonder he had to force a female to live with him in order to even get close to someone. Fact being, you can't love someone if you don't accept loving yourself first. Now with that said, I can't help but wonder how Bell's relationship is with him now? He has his handsome face back but does Bell have to tell him, "you look good in those jeans" in order for him to step out into public with her? And does his face make up for all those other bad personality faults? Did he really change by the spell being broken or is he still that insecure, angry, and spoiled beast?

Tell me, what do you think?

Women have the right

Thanks to living in America and straight from the Citizens Rights websites
we are capable of having the:

• Freedom to express yourself.
• Freedom to worship as you wish.
• Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.
• Right to vote in elections for public officials.
• Right to run for elected office.
• Freedom to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

So with that said, I would like to point out that women have the right to do as they want with their lives and their bodies.

Therefore we have the right to choose who we want to be with, if we want to have a baby, if we want to have an abortion, if we rather adopt, or have a surrogate mother to carry our child. Personally I see it as our honorable right to choose as we please. No person nor man should ever tell us otherwise. 

Therefore if a girl tells you straight up front her beliefs, desires, and ambitions for herself. Then you as her partner should learn to appreciate that, be supportive, and caring towards her decision. If you can't find yourself being capable of doing this then you should move on and find someone else that shares the same interests as you. Don't drag the relationship on trying to get her to change her ways to satisfy your own.

However she is not at fault for doing something that you don't agree with. She is not bad for choosing her own path. Lastly she has not given you the right to judge her for her decision. It's her body, her choice, and her right! 

If Men are looking, take it as a compliment

When a guy checks out another guys girl, he typically reacts in one of the following ways:

a) All pissed off and shouting to the man, "Hey what you doing looking at my girl?" Which then leads to an overdramatic fist fight.

b) The male to fight with his girl by shouting, "Are you purposely dressing sexy to impress other men? This kind thing never happened to my last girlfriend, so why does it always happen with you? What are you doing behind my back?"

c) Insecure boyfriend that doesn't like the extra attention and taking his girlfriend out, saying, "I just don't like how everyone stares at you."

When in all cases the boyfriend shouldn't behave by any of these standards. Instead he should notice the men staring and take it as a compliment.

Finally a song came out which expresses just what I mean.
Enjoy!

Song Title: I don't want her
Artist: Eric Bellinger
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh-jd4fG1JE

Song of the week

The second I heard this song I felt like it was meant for my blog. This particular version of the song is even more amazing then the original, because of the violin (being my favorite instrument) being incorporated. In addition to that, I love how he poetically sings about his love: His description about loving someone for her imperfections, her curves (beauty), and how love makes him crazy by fully giving himself just as she does in return.  

Song Title: All of me

Artists: John Legend

Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwsYvBYZcx4

Lyrics:

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

Cautions on Trip to Vegas

Now taking a typical trip is a great way to spice up the relationship, however you also need to consider the consequences that you're facing when taking a trip to LAS VEGAS. That's right, Vegas!

It's the number one place to go to when single, because you can hook up, get lucky, and make mistakes. "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" as they say.

However here are a few tips that men should be warned about before taking a girlfriend on a trip to Vegas. If you don't abide by these 3 DON'TS then you may end up being single before you know it.

1. Don't focus on other girl! Yes the girls are walking around revealing and most are even easy when flaunting their "almost naked" bodies down the streets. However you need to consider diseases, how she may rob you, or ask for you to pay for her services. They aren't always free and I highly suggest you keeping an eye only on the women you showed up with if you plan on returning from your trip still with her. Wither you think you're smooth...trust me you're not, your girl will notice and she won't be as nice as to give you a warning (like I am trying to do for you right now).

2. Don't gamble all your money away! There's nothing more boring then being away on vacation broke. Gambling does come off as a fun at first, but don't allow yourself to get carried away with it, and spend all your play money that you were suppose to use on the trip. You're girls gonna wanna head home early if all she's financially capable to do is stay in your hotel room watching TV.

3. Don't be getting so drunk to where you do any of the following:
a) Telling your girlfriend she is less attractive then that stripper you saw earlier that night

b) Taking a picture when another girl to text to all your friends, because you think it makes you look cool. Be caution here, you're girl will eventually see this pic.

c) Act like a complete idiot and over drink to where your girlfriend has to babysit you, because she wont. Instead she rather be dancing and may consider sending you home early and dancing the night away with someone else for a good time.

So to sum it up, the 3 DON'T in Vegas are as simple as this:
1) Don't stare at other women
2) Don't gamble away all the money
3) Don't become a drunken idiot

Song Of the Week

This song is dedicated to everyone for Valentines Day. Play this song for your Valentines date and you're sure to be kissed. These words are what every girl wants to hear when a man says he loves her.

Plans for Valentines Day

Here's some suggestions of what to do for Valentines Day for your Hubby. Just remember money isn't everything when it comes to love. If thats all she wants then you need to look for a new girlfriend.

Reenact your first date

She will be dazzled to relive the first time you two met and sparks accrued. Not to mention be happy to know that you remembered the little things.

Go out ice skating

Sure your a guy and don't like these kind of things, but when you do them just because its something that would make her happy is the best gift you can give. Doing something fun and romantic such as this will defiantly get her falling back into your arms again.

Give her a massage

You can make it sexy and buy oils to give her a massage in the comfort of your home or be fancy and book a couples massage for your both to get done together at a spa. Nothing better than feeling pampered like this.

Make a path of Rose Petals

Girls love romance and we eat it up even if its corny. Leave a trail of rose petals from the front entry door to the kitchen where a teddy bear with a "I LOVE YOU" note awaits her. She will smile big and be unable to take the smile off due to the hard work, fun journey, and gasping surprise. 

Sensual hot tubing

Just as relaxing as a massage, but more sensual because of its ability to soak in the tub wearing a swim suit or nothing at all. You can do this at home in your bath tub, go to the nearest hot springs, or rent out a hot tub rooms at a local spa facility. Its a great way to get close, feel relaxed, and allow for some playful fun.

Couple Board Game

They have couple board games that are fairly inexpensive and allow you to spice up the fun. You can make valentines an excuse to stay in with this fun. You can role play, learn more about your partner, and enjoy a great laugh.

Cook her a Dinner 

You don't have to go out to eat in order for it to be a special occasion. Wine and dine her by showing her that you know how to cook and make her a delicious feast that is sure to wow her over with excitement to tell her girlfriends about.

Dress up

Whither going out or staying in. You should tell her to dress up in her finest clothes. Girls love being able to dress up and this will allow her to be more excited for the occasion. Than no matter what you should dance with her so she is sweeped off her feet. Nothing more special then being dressed up and dancing. 

What plans you going to do?

How to tell if he loves you

There's many ways to show your love without saying the four letter word.
Below are examples of how you can tell if your man loves you and if you're on the right track to lasting in a happy relationship.

1. He looks to hold your hand
Holding hands seem like a simple gesture that people do all the time, but if you catch him searching to hold your hand in public he's saying that he loves to tell others that you are his. If he is doing it indoors as well than he is indicating to you his love by something as small as squeezing your hand tightly and gazing into your eyes when no ones around or seeking your hand to hold while sleeping next to you at night.

2. Long lasting kiss
When he's constantly kissing you and there's passion behind each kiss. Also when you break away after a kiss and he has a big grin on his face showing how amazed he is and how happy you make him.

3. His friends approve of you
If his friends keep asking for you to join them in hanging out than that says that they know how happy you make their buddy and approve of you being with him. Meaning he has spoke about you a lot to his friends and stating how much you mean to him.

4. He invites you over
If he loves having you around and constantly asking you to spend time with him than this is a good indicator that he enjoys your company and is happy always having you close. He enjoys being with you even if it's daily tasks that doesn't need his presence suck as going grocery shopping.

5. When he listens to you
Most guys know how to block out a woman when they don't appreciate her nor care what she has to say. But when a guy actually is asking you questions about yourself, your day, and he listens. Than this states that he actually loves you. You can also tell this by his ability to remember facts or details that you mentioned within your conversations.

6. Calls or texts you
Most people call or text to get a quick message across, but if your man is texting throughout his entire day than he's saying he is thinking of you. The fact that he keeps things of you makes this a dead giveaway that he is saying he loves you.

7. He sticks around
When you're sick, he still wants to be there to take care of you. If you have a crazy family, he doesn't care, and stays with you. You have a fight and he asks you to work things out and not break up. You're having an off day and just not in a good mood, he asks, "you wanna talk about it?" These are all signs that he is saying he loves you.

8. Eye contact
When you go out with friends and you split way to hang out across the room from each other. He would come around to check in with you throughout the night. Make eye contact with you from across the room just to get you to smile and see if you're okay. If he can read your thoughts or emotions by gazing into your eyes and having not spoken any words.

9. Mirroring you
You start to catch him taking on traits or characteristics that you have or do all the time. Such as phrases you say, jokes you tell, the way you bite your nails when nervous, etc. This is an indicator that you're rubbing off on him. You two spend so much time together that he doesn't even realize he's picking up these traits and mirroring you, when actually psychologically he's doing these things, because he admires them in you.

10. Meaningful Gifts
The gifts are not expensive, but only something you would appreciate and understood between the two of you. Such as you telling him that you wanted a photograph of you both together. The following week he supplies you with a gift, which turns out to be a picture frame saying, "this is for you to put in our first picture together."

Questions not to ask

When you're with a female there are a few topics you should avoid talking to her about. Especially at the beginning of getting to know her. Some you should never ask or say ever for your own good. Below is this list:

How many people have you slept with?
Trust me, you're better off not knowing. Knowing a females number of men that she has slept with will only do you mental harm (if this numbers low or high) and never give you any true insight on who she is. Never ask this question and just remember that she's sleeping with you and not any of them!

What do you want to do tonight?
At the beginning of the relationship you should leap out ideas and not ask her. She will get sick of having to decide what you're both going to do. Every girl loves to be surprised and have a man show how creative and fun he can be. So you pick the event and wait until you've been on a few dates with her before you start asking her to contribute with the ideas.

Do you really think you should eat that?
You're going to have a girl feeling insecure if you ever ask this question. You want to make her feel comfortable and happy around you. If you ever ask this question you will have her questioning her weight and if you think she is obese. So let her eat what she wants and you wont have to witness a fight nor tears.

Why haven't you texted me back yet?
If you send a text message or facebook message to a girl and she hasn't wrote you back its because she's either busy or purposely not messaging you. However you should never ask this question, because you will come off as clingy, needy, or insecure. Just move on if she hasn't texted you back. Better to walk away without shame or regret.

Can I kiss you?
Don't ask this! This is a simple mistake that will kill the mood or ruin the surprise. Its a risky thing to lean in and see if it's okay to kiss her, but trust me it will make a better approach catching her by surprise. Plus a girl loves a man in control. So don't ask, just go for it!

Can I take you out on a date?
Similar to asking a girl for a kiss, don't ask. Just be confident and take control. Be confident by saying, "we should hang out" or "I'm going to take you to eat at an amazing restaurant which has amazing dessert." She will admire your confidence and admire your ability to leap at her.

Would you like to meet my friends and family?
If you're asking you may scare her. Never ask. If you want her to meet your family or friends than just make an event for place for her to meet them. However make sure she likes you enough and you've both been together long enough first. Otherwise this will still scare her.

What else can you think of?
