    The Biggest Relationship Jinxes 

    Don’t walk under a ladder, don’t look at a black cat, don’t forget to throw salt over your shoulder if you spill any at the dinner table… It seems like there are hundreds of things to signal that bad luck is about to come your way. Wouldn’t it be easier if we had hints like that to let us know that relationships are going to crash before they do?

    Well my superstitious readers, if recent history has taught us anything, there are a few read flags that can let you know you’ll probably be on the singles sex search in the near future. When it comes to relationship jinxes, avoid these ones so you don’t doom your love!

    Getting photographed in a wedding dress before your wedding day

    I’m not sure why girls would want to do this anyways, but here’s your official warning: Don’t!
    This week Laguna Beach babe Kristin Cavallari did a photo shoot of wedding dresses to prepare for her upcoming nuptials to Jay Cutler and just four days after the pictures were taken, he dumped her. Literally the exact same thing happened to Carrie Bradshaw when she did a wedding dress photo shoot for Vogue, and Mr. Big dumped her on their wedding day. Listen ladies, if you don’t want to be dumped before you even get the chance to say “I do,” then stay away from cameras when you’re trying on dresses!

    Tattooing your spouses name/ face/ whatever on your body

    A video surfaced this week of Kat Von D getting a tattoo of her boyfriend Jesse James’ face on her side. Now, this would be a bad idea for anyone to do, but considering she had only been dating him for a few months, and he’s known for cheating on his girlfriends/wives/anyone, I don’t feel bad for expressing how much of an idiot I think she is. She got the tattoo and Jesse left her, and the world remained unsurprised. But she’s not the only one! Angelina got one of Billy Bob, Johnny Depp got his Wenonah 4 Ever, Britney got matching ink with K-Fed, Amy Winehouse had her Blake Tattoo… The list goes on and on. I can only think of a handful of people who have relationship tattoos and are still together, and I have the clock counting down to when they’ll get divorced.

    Buying a pet together before you’re married

    “I’m really sorry to hear that. Who’s keeping *insert pet’s name here*?” You’ll have this conversation with every friend you have that buys an animal together before they’re married. It seems like getting an animal is the first step to a break up. You get to see what they’ll be like with a serious commitment, you won’t be happy with how they deal with it, and you’ll want out. It works every time.

    If you’re superstitious, do yourself a favor and avoid doing these things whenever possible!

    First Time Back In The Sack After A Dry Spell 

    I’m having an internal debate on what’s more nerve-racking: Having sex for the first time ever, or having sex for the first time after an extensive dry spell? When you’re losing your V-Card, you’re expected to be nervous and slightly bad at it. But when you’re having sex for the first time after a dry spell, you have a lot of pressure on you. You’re older and chances are the person you’re going to be sleeping with knows it’s not your first time, so they’ll have certain expectations you have to live up to. Breaking the dry spell can be as stressful as it is pleasurable.

    If you’re about to go on a date you think might break your seal, you need to take a few steps to prepare yourself. And as weird as some of these may sound, trust me, you’ll thank me later.

    Rub one out.
    If you don’t masturbate before you go on a date and you end up getting laid, chances are you won’t last very long when it comes time to do the deed.  If you get off before you go into the date, you’ll have an easier time sustaining when it really matters.

    Look at adult content online before you go, and don’t get that image out of your head during the date.
    Sure it sounds a little pervy, but you’ll be thanking me when you’re on the date and aren’t constantly thinking about her boobs. If you look at a few R rated images before you go, you’ll have an easier time concentrating on what she’s saying and not about what she looks like naked, since you’ve already had your fill of naked girls for the day. Not only that, but if the date does lead to sex, you’ll better be able to keep your nerves in check when she finally strips down.

    Act like you do this every day.
    Doing this in a cocky way may end up in you going home again without getting any action. If you do it in a confident way, you won’t be thinking as much about what you’re doing, and instead you can concentrate on the time you’re having.  When you keep in mind that you haven’t gotten free sex in X-months, you’re likely to overanalyze your moves and end up having mechanical sex. Instead if you pretend like you do this every day and you just think about the time you’re having, you’re going to be looser and end up having a better time.

    If it’s your first time back in the sack, relax! Having sex is easier than riding a bicycle; it’s nearly impossible to decrease in talent no matter how long it’s been since you’ve had any. Sit back, relax, and enjoy breaking the dry spell!

    Being Too Conservative Vs. Being Too Sexual 

    There’s not much worse than being stuck in a category that has stigma attached to it. When you’re dating in the single world, the two biggest categories you want to avoid getting stuck in are being too conservative and being too sexual. One suggests that you have too much fun to be taken seriously, and one suggests that you simply don’t have enough.

    When it comes to being too conservative and being too sexual, which one is worse? We took a look at the pros of both categories to find out who has it better when it comes to singles dating.

    Pros Of Being Too Conservative

    • You’ll get attention from people who actually want to get to know you. When you’re known for being a little too conservative, you have the relief of knowing that people aren’t seeking dates with you simply because they heard you’re an easy lay. You’ll attract people who want to get to know the real you, which will lead to a more fulfilling dating experience.
    • There won’t be as much pressure to have sex. No one takes the conservative girl out to have a one night stand. If you’re the type that wants to get through the night without hearing the line “Your place or mine?”, being conservative will give you a big advantage.
    • You’re likely to find the ‘nice guy.’ In high school, everyone seems to say that nice guys finish last. Well this isn’t high school anymore, and the nice guy is the one running the successful companies, because while the bad boys were getting laid in school, the nice guy was studying so he could get into Harvard. Now he’s back in the dating world and is available to take you out on a date. Thanks to the way the sexual girls denied him in high school, you’ll never have to worry about him picking them over you. Point to the conservative team.

    Pros Of Being Too Sexual

    • You’re likely to attract the fun people. If someone is looking to let loose and have a good time, they’re probably not going to turn to the conservative people to have it with. They want to party with the fun girl they met at the bar last week! They’re going to turn to you to show them a good time.
    • You act more confident than the conservative girl. It’s been said that looks are 50% appearance and 50% confidence. If you radiate confidence, then you’re automatically on the hot list! No matter what the circumstances are, confidence is sexy.
    • You get more action than the conservative girl. Let’s be serious– the biggest advantage to being sexual is that you get more sex! If that’s your end goal, then you’re on the right track. Going out and having fun is always a little better when it has a happy ending which, for the sexual girl, it usually does.

    Both sides have advantages and disadvantages to being stuck in their categories. Instead of trying to break out of your categories, keep the fun aspects of them and steal the positive aspects of the other category that you want to experience. That way you have the best of both worlds!

    3 Ways To Heat Up Your Kitchen 

    In most parts of the country, today has been the hottest day of the summer. Since you’re already going to be nice and sweaty, why not take advantage of the situation and heat things up a little more? Getting it on in the summer heat can feels like a chore, but if you get out from under your thick sheets and get down on the cool tiles of your kitchen floor, that chore can turn into pure pleasure.

    Staying cool in this summer heat is essential, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your sweat on! Using your kitchen may be the best thing to cool down while turning up the heat.

    1. Have sex in front of your open freezer door.
      Although most people don’t do it on the regular, having sex standing up  hits almost all the female pleasure spots, and gives you a great vantage point to watch all the action go down. It’s a little bit of an exercise and may get you a little hotter than you want to be, so why not do it in front of the open freezer door? The heat you’re creating and the contrast of the cool air from the freezer will enhance the the experience in a great way.
    2. Use the utensils as toys.
      If they’ve been bad and you don’t have a belt, due to you being naked and all, why not grab a spatula and give them a light tap? Using household items as sex toys is a really unintimidating way to introduce them into your sex life.
    3. Have fun with the food!
      You’re in the kitchen! What better place could you be in to have a little fun with the whipped cream and  chocolate sauce? Singles dating should be encouraged to get adventurous with their sex lives. Having a little something to lick off each other is the perfect way to add a little kink to your love life.

    It’s the hottest day of the year outside today, but it should be even hotter in your kitchen tonight. Grab a date and heat things up!

    Which Celebrity Relationship Is Yours Most Like? 

    If I’ve noticed one thing about my friends’ relationships lately, it’s that they’re lasting about as long as your average celebrity wedding. They have a too-quick honey moon phase followed by a series of petty fights, and end it all in a wonderful firework display of a break-up. I tried to explain this to my friend who had a Jimmy Kimmel relationship recently (that’s where your girlfriend is so much like you, you’re basically dating yourself. That’s a recipe for a failed courtship right there), which he agreed with. But not all celebrity relationships are bad.

    If your relationship is like any of these, you may be in for a surprise…

    Angie & Brad– The Commitmentphobes
    If you’re anything like Jolie and Pitt, chances are you have great, wild sex, life-long links to each other (like children or common work projects), and no chance of lasting. If you’ve been together for this long and still haven’t walked down the isle without any major objections to marriage (which obviously they don’t, since Brad has been married before), then you’re never going to get to walk down it. If marriage is something important to you, it’s time to go out with the old and bring in the new. Find yourself someone who will be willing to put a ring on it.

    Will & Jada Smith– The Open Marriage
    The Smiths have a unique relationship. Despite the fact they’re from two different backgrounds– Will a rapper and Jada a rocker– they tend to make it work. Opposites attract, as they say. But these two have something a little uncommon brewing in their relationship– They have an open relationship. Although they’re dedicated to each other, word on the street is they are both allowed to have free sex with other people, as long as they don’t stay in contact with them. If you’re relationship is like Will and Jada, you’re probably in it for the long haul, as long as you’re not the jealous type.

    Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber– The Pressured Couple
    Selena and Justin are the current Disney sweethearts. Now you may not be multi-millionaires like the two tweens, but if you have pressure on your relationship, I’m sure you can relate. These two are being watched under a very powerful microscope by the world, and people are constantly waiting for the break-up announcement. If the people around you insist on being negative about your relationship, you don’t have a very good chance of making it last.

    Jessica Biel & The Lead Singer Of *Nsync– The Passionless Pair
    A good indication of how your relationship is going is by the expression on your girlfriend’s face. Does she never smile? Like, never ever? Even when you’re somewhere as cool as the Oscars? And you’re with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE? If you’re with a sourpuss, she’s just going to get more bitter with age.

    Celebrity relationships aren’t always made to fail, but if your relationship is like any of these that show warning signs of a sinking boat, then you may want to jump ship sooner or later!

    Best Places For Dates This Summer 

    Summer is the season to meet singles, to make romances, and to have memorable dates during the long, hot nights. Unless you’re one of the lucky ones who live south of the boarder, then you probably only get a few months of enjoyable summer weather a year. Since you don’t get to spend your time dating in the fresh air, you should take advantage of the situation while you can! These are the best places for dates in the summer months.

    Have dinner on a roof top patio
    Every big city has at least a dozen roof top restaurants open while the weather is nice. Not only do you get to enjoy eating outside, but you get a unique view of your city that you probably only have the chance to see a few times in your life, let alone the year. Plan for a late dinner so you can enjoy the city lights and the beautiful skyline against a dark sky.

    See an outdoor movie
    You can find drive-in theaters anywhere, but the real outdoor experience comes with sitting on the grass and getting to be one with nature while you watch a blockbuster. Rent a digital projector from an electronics store and play the movie against the side of your house or garage. You’ll get to watch the movie of your choice while enjoying familiar surroundings and fresh air.

    Go to a fair
    On long weekends, most country towns have fairs that consist of anything from Farris wheels, to  carnival rides, to art displays. They’re a great place to stimulate conversation and let loose in a fun setting.

    Be adventurous– Go zip lining!
    Now this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the adrenaline from the action will get you both in a fun and flirty mood, and it’s a great way to make a unique memory together. Not everyone goes zip lining on a date!

    It’s easy to enjoy the summer months for singles dating. Simple things like roller blading and picnics can be special if done with the right person, so get some fresh air and start romancing!

    Why You Could Be People Magazine’s Sexiest Person Of The Year 

    There’s one thing all previous winners of People Magazine’s Sexiest Person have in common– they’re all not that good looking, we just assume they are.

    We put a lot more emphasis into personality than we do traditional looks, which makes us believe that someone is more physically appealing than they really are. If you let your key elements shine that the alumni of People’s Sexiest have, you’re likely to have anybody thinking you could cover the coveted annual issue.

    Before you start your singles sex search, dissect what you have in common with specific people who have been on the list before. Last year featured Ryan Reynolds. Besides the fact that he hits the gym 24 times a week, there’s personality traits he possesses that make him a more attractive person– The most prominent being humor.

    If you’re funny, whether it be a dry wit or a long-running Mike Meyers like funny bone, people are attracted to humor. Think about the famous sex symbol comedians– Owen Wilson, Drew Barrymore, Vince Vaughn. If you take away their humor, are they still sexy? Not really, no. They’re average looking people with what would probably mediocre acting gigs. It’s their ability to make you laugh that people find attractive. If you have a funny side, let people see it! There’s a reason that comedians have so much sex– people want to laugh.

    The other thing all of People’s Sexiest have in common is their humanitarianism. People like Harrison Ford and George Clooney really aren’t the most physically appealing guys in the world, but seeing a few pictures with them and some orphans in a third world country will just about break your heart. Knowing that someone is willing to take the time to help others is a big turn on for people, especially women, so if you are an active member of the charitable world, don’t be afraid to let it be known! People are compassionate by nature, and they want to know others are as well. When you unselfishly helping others, it’s a sign of both commitment and compassion.

    You can easily be seen by others as someone who could be on the cover of People Magazine’s Sexiest issue if you showcase how much you have in common with previous and future winners. Show your humor, your compassion, and, if you’re up for it, your adventurous side, and you’ll be the center of attraction in no time!

    Friends With Benefits Will Never End Well 

    Friends with benefits. It’s a great concept. Two friend who don’t have sexual feelings for each other getting it on because they have no one else to have sex with at the time. What could go wrong?

    A lot, actually. A lot could go wrong.

    Not once in my life have I heard of an instance where friend with benefits has ended well. Most of the time it ends the friendship completely, which is the biggest way to prove that the plan backfires harshly.

    How can an idea that sounds so great, go so poorly? Let me count the ways…

    • That casual sex you’re having? That’s not casual, my friend.
      The point of casual sex is to get laid by someone you have no connection with. No past, no future, no friendship, no nothing. Having sex with a friend isn’t casual, it’s having sex with a friend! There are already feelings invested in that relationship, and when you cross the line into sexual territory, you defeat the purpose of ‘casual.’
    • Things get complicated when someone else is added into the equation.
      If you decide to walk down the FWB path because you’re not getting any action anywhere else, then chances are you were in a pretty bad dry spell. But if either of you find someone else you want to start seeing, it will leave one of you feeling hurt and replaced when you pull the No Strings Attached card off the table.
    • Jealousy is a cold bitch.
      Let’s say you do start liking this person (which is more than very likely), and they don’t feel the same because they really did just want to be friends with benefits, nothing more. Feelings like that are almost impossible to ignore, so if you do maintain these feelings, you’ll have a hard time ignoring that jealous chip on your shoulder.

    Friends with benefits never works out. If it does, chances are you weren’t that good of friends to begin with! If you need a quick lay, stick to finding free sex online instead of in your friend roster.

    Should You Add Your Online Dates To Facebook? 

    Once people start to meet singles online, they want to stay connected with them as much as possible. Since it’s online that you met them, it makes sense that you want to keep them connected to your inner Internet circle. But can inviting people too far into your virtual life be dangerous?

    Studies show that you can find more information about a person by browsing their Facebook profile than you can in spending 2 hours talking about themselves. The reason for this is because it’s not just current information you can learn on Facebook. The website, which officially launched in 2005, documents every piece of activity you’ve ever made on the social networking site. This means people can not only find out things about what you’ve done recently, but in the past, as well.

    A big downside to Facebook is that the information that’s out there about you is never secure. Sure you can make your profile private, but that won’t stop people from seeing information that others post about you. If there was something you did last week you didn’t want others to know about, it’s very easy for someone to ‘tag’ you in the photo evidence, and even if they delete, it’s already in the cybersphere, which can never be erased. People can simply have access to too much information.

    If you are thinking about adding your singles dating buddies to Facebook instead of keeping it strictly to the online dating site, you can sure bet they’re going to catch on to each other. There’s nothing wrong with exploring the possibility of different people online, but you never know how those people are going to take it.  When you add your online dating world to Facebook, there’s a good chance people could get offended at your ‘double dating.’

    Until you’ve started a connection that you’ve brought offline, it’s safer to keep your online dating friends off of Facebook.

    Chick Flicks Will Ruin Your Relationship 

    It always seems like a sweet and unselfish gesture when a guy takes a girl to see chick flick of choice. I mean, no guy really wants to go see a Kate Hudson movie unless they know for a fact she’s going to get naked. In reality, guys usually bring their date to a chick flick with the intentions that she’s going to feel the romantic mood of the movie and decide to give out free sex. Fair warning, gentlemen: Your plan is going to backfire.

    Chick flicks are good for one thing: fulfilling a girls fantasy on what she thinks the perfect relationship is. But what do you think happens once she gets a taste of the sweet life? The bar gets raised and you’re left wishing you didn’t take her to the movie in the first place.

    These movies are designed to show women the perfect man. The perfect job, the perfect body, and the perfect thing said at the perfect time. It’s impossible to live a perfect life like that in an imperfect world, but people have a tendency to believe what they see in the movies, and this is no exception. If you aren’t clearing out an entire NFL stadium so you two can have a romantic, candle lit dinner in the middle of the field, then you’re just not stacking up to Ryan Reynolds, which is unacceptable. When women watch chick flicks, they want to be wooed just as much as the people on screen, and if you don’t reach their Hollywood-high expectations, they’re not going to be happy about it.

    Unless you want to re-start trying to meet local women as soon as the movie is done, save your relationship and skip the chick flick!
