Five Signs He’s Interested

  • Posted on November 27, 2009 at 7:35 AM

HE-IS-interestedHow can you tell if a guy likes you or is interested? You noticed him when you were standing and talking with a friend. You think he noticed you, but maybe it was your imagination or just wishful thinking. He looked at you at about the same time you saw him. Your eyes met for just a few seconds, and then you looked away. When you looked back up, he was talking with some other people. Was he watching you as you mingled? Or were you making that up? How can you tell if a guy likes you? Why are guys so hard to read?

Here are five signs that he is interested in you too. If any of the following happens, he is probably trying to get close enough to ask you out:

1. He tells someone

Is he interested? He likes you if he tells a mutual friend that he wants to know more about you, or he asks other people who you are and where you’re from. He is trying to act like he’s “just asking” but his questions indicate more than a casual interest. And when he tells someone that he finds you attractive, he probably knows that it will get back to you. He’s hoping it does.

2. The look

He gives you a look that betrays his calm exterior. Even though he is across the room, “that look” he has says it all. It is sweeping, from your head to your toes, and then his eyes linger on yours. You think you notice the beginning of a tentative smile.

3. The conversation

Does he like you? When he manages to get close enough to you, to ask you questions, he is interested. He appears to be listening and responds to what you say. He’s moving in to the ultimate question, which is: “Are you seeing anyone.” He would only ask this question if he wanted to date you, and he hopes the answer is “No.” Never ever wear a ring in public. When a guy is across the room, he cannot tell which finger it is on and he may assume incorrectly that you are taken. If he doesn’t ask you the question of whether or not you are attached, he may ask someone whom you both know.

4. He appears unexpectedly

He likes you a lot if he shows up out of nowhere. He can only do that if he has been asking people about your schedule, or he has been paying attention to where you are going and at what time. His face may turn red when he sees you. A sudden, “Oh, hi,” is his way of saying, “I don’t want to seem obvious, but I am interested in you.” If you feel the same way, do not act shy. Stop and talk to him.

5. EVERYONE likes you

Is he interested? When you are well liked and a happy person, why wouldn’t he like you? Of course he does. If you don’t have a great life, however, now is your time to start working on one. Take a look at your career possibilities, body image, future, plans, and resources. You may be naturally talented at something, but it won’t matter unless you work on your strengths. People enjoy being with someone that have some life of their own and something to offer. Don’t expect to meet someone and have them create your life for you. Have something interesting to offer the relationship and your own talents and contributions. You should be a fairly happy and completed individual before you start a relationship. That way you are not leaning to heavily emotionally on the other person. Having interesting life experiences and stories of your own, will give you something to share on dates.

These are the five signs that he is interested and he is on the verge of asking you out. Make it easy for him and be friendly. This is where relationships begin.

How To Find a lost flame

  • Posted on at 7:18 AM

how-to-search-someoneIf you’re asking yourself how to find someone, but all you have is a phone number or just an address there are many of ways to find them.Is
it as simple as typing in how to Find Someone on the internet, YES it is!

The best way to find people these days is by using the online database record registries, (www.Gov-Resources.com) or facebook. This makes it
way easier then back in the day when we didn’t have computers at all. In fact, it makes it so easy to find someone. If you’re connected to the internet, just a few strokes on the keyboard and you can find your information.

Being computer illiterate can make technology quite difficult, especially when you are searching for hours and still don’t get the result(s) you were hoping for. It’s not completely technologies fault that we can’t get these types of results, but however, learning to use a search engine properly will help. There are many directories available to help.

First, write what you know on a piece of paper.

Why? So you will get an idea of where to start your search to find a person. This will help you remember things that you may not have remembered before. For example, an old phone number or an old address.

Secondly, write down what you have done in the person search and the results you got. Keeping track of what you have will help you
stay organized. You don’t want to do the same search over and over. Keeping tack will help you know what you have done.

Last but not least, how to find a person in the White Pages. Looking in the white pages is very important; you don’t want to skip this step. There are many white pages that you can find on the internet where you can do a person search right on your computer. Lots of these white pages carry up to date databases.

Enter into the boxes the name, number, address, etc. Then hit the submit button, and the let the search begin. To zoom in on your information that you want, you will have to put in more information such as, city, state, zip code.

Have in mind that when you’re searching for a specific person, you need to write down what you know on a piece of paper, what you have tried and the results, this will help you recall information later on. Remember to keep searching. Search engines change every day and continue to collect information on all individuals. Try different search engines like Dogpile, and Bing and Yahoo search. I have found many old friends and people that I went to high school with this way.

How to Get a 2nd date

  • Posted on at 7:04 AM

get-laidA typical first date would be dinner perhaps some drinks, maybe catch a movie and then you both go home, sound familiar? This is what 99.9% of men plan out for a first date. So what’s wrong with this? Well let’s take a look at each different scenario. Take meeting someone for dinner. It sounds wonderful, you know for sure that you both eat so why not go for dinner? Usually on first date the two parties don’t know each
other very well and are going to be somewhat uncomfortable around each other. Then adding in that you have to eat in front of each other adds even more uncomfortableness. Since you’re not doing anything but eating the conversation could and probably will sway towards the boring side leading to awkward pauses and so on. So dinner is out, what about the movie? This is probably the stupidest thing you could do on a first date
because you’re not going to be able to talk to each other. You’re not going to know her and she’s not going to know you any better then if you’d just met on the street. There’s nothing more awkward then sitting next to someone who you’re on a first date with and not talking to them for two hours and then getting out of the movie and your both thinking “okay so what now?”

So now that you know you can’t take her to a movie or out to dinner then what do you do? Glad you asked. Here is the top secret method to making all your first dates a raging success make it FUN! I can’t stress that fact enough!! Do something that is fun and something that she has probably never done on a first date. The key in all of this is to stand out from the rest of the pack. Every guy takes her to dinner and the movies, but if you’re creative, you’ll be the date she never forgets.

Here are some great Date Ideas:

  • Bingo /li>
  • Ballroom Dance lessons (salsa, etc)
  • Art Lesson
  • Pottery Making
  • Laser Tag
  • Hiking
  • Cooking Dinner (both must be active)
  • Puzzle Night and Wine (Low Key) Must be the right type of girl
  • Sporting Event
  • Hookah Bar
  • Picnic in a park
  • Wine tasting
  • Rock climbing
  • Build a kite together
  • Ice Skating
  • Boating

Here are some tips to keep in mind while planning your date:

  • Don’t tell her what you’re doing. Women love surprises and when she doesn’t know what’s going to be happening she’ll be thinking about it all the time leading up until the date and thus be thinking about you all the time, which is a good thing.
  • Make the date last around 1- 2 hours You don’t want to drag the date on. If it’s going well you can always decide to do something else together but it’s a good rule of thumb to always leave her wanting more.
  • Always have an out If the date starts to go bad. Have some sort of an escape plan. For example have your buddy text you at a certain time and that gives you the option of making up a story about some emergency if the date is heading in the wrong direction.
  • Always go for the kiss at some point during the date. Not too soon, but maybe about 3/4 of the way thru the date. Don’t try to stick your tongue down her throat but if you reach over and kiss her sweetly on the cheek, she will know that you like her and that gives her some time to prepare emotionally for the first kiss. Many women also like to be asked first before the first kiss. “May I kiss you? is just fine.
  • Scope out the date place. Make yourself familiar with the date location and surroundings. Let her know that you are concerned about her safety and that you will protect her if she is in an unknown place. You should also be familiar with whatever activity you decide to do. For example if you’re going to fly a kite make sure you know how to fly a kite. If you don’t, just make it part of the fun, that you are going to learn something new together as a couple. It builds a bonding experience, when you take the time to learn something together and you both get to be beginners. It gives you lots of time to converse, and get to know each other. /li>
  • If your deciding where to go (which you should) and it costs money you should at least have enough money to pay for her. Women still like to be with a gentleman and it is a goes to show that you are not cheap. If you don’t have alot of money, let her know that your budge is lacking but you would still like to still like to spend some time with her. Women like to have frankness and honesty, so if you let her know up front, she will respect that. Then just take her on a picnic or something, but then the focus is on the two of you, and she will appreciate that. Don’t leave a cheap tip for the waitress if you go out to dinner, because she will know that that is how you treat others, and will know that eventually you will treat her like that.
  • Last but not least just make sure you’re having fun because if you’re having fun chances are so is she and by following these simple guidelines you should have no problem scoring the second date! All women appreciate a man who can make her laugh and get her mind off of her problems. Just don’t try so hard that it’s overkill. That just makes her uncomfortable.

Dating a Married Man – Should You?

  • Posted on at 6:57 AM

dating-married-man“Are you the “other woman?” If you’re involved with a married man, and you’re waiting for your turn, it’s time to re-evaluate your situation”, says Dr.Phil.

It’s time to move forward.
If you’re putting your life on hold for a married man, he’s stolen not only your heart — he’s stolen your brain!

No matter how you justify it, you are attacking his family unit.
Even if he is separated from his wife, that is their business and you are a threat to their marriage. You aren’t welcome and you don’t belong.

You may feel that he’s your soul mate, but think again.
A real soul mate would not set you on the sidelines. He wouldn’t allow it, let alone entice it.

Keep in mind that you only know what he tells you.
You already know that he’s a liar because he’s living a lie with his wife and children. How can you be sure whether you’re the only “other woman” he has? Entertain the possibility that he is lying to you, and you are being used.

Think of his wife.
Is it fair to her? She’s been married to him for however many years, cleaned up after him when he’s sick, raised children with him, sacrificed with him, dealt with the “damn dailies,” then you come in at the 11th hour and provide a contrast to that that’s new and exciting and fun. You are intruding upon her turf. You are a trespasser. It is no different than being a thief in the night. It is no different than breaking into their house and stealing their things.

Even if your married man decided to leave his wife and family for you, that doesn’t guarantee success.
Relationships born out of affairs survive less than 5 percent of the time. If he’ll do it with you, he’ll do it to you. If he’s living this deception with you today, how could you ever trust him if you did get into a legitimate relationship with him?

Break off this relationship today.
You’ll hurt, you’ll feel broken-hearted, but you’ll be better off. Take some time to get really clear with yourself about who you are and what you want. The most important relationship you’ll ever have in this world is the one you have with yourself. And eventually, you’ll fall in love again — with someone who’s willing to make you first in his life.

Is your Date Lying or Cheating?

  • Posted on at 6:47 AM

date-a-liar-cheaterEven on the first date when he said he was not married, your instincts told you something else. Unfortunately the statistics favor that he/she probably is. Recent studies reveal that 45-55% of married women and 50-60% of married men engage in extramarital sex at some time or another during their relationship (Atwood & Schwartz, 2002 – Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy). Reports also show that the subject of marriage isn’t typically discussed before an affair begins.

So if your instincts tell you something is up, listen to them. Keep in mind if he/she is lying about being married, chances are they are lying about other things as well, and since the most important thing to look for in a potential mate (after the lust subsides) is honesty and trustworthiness, the safest idea is to do what the police do when looking for a suspect in a criminal case – eliminate them as a suspect first!

This simple checklist developed by the American Polygraph Association and the American Psychiatric Association helps you eliminate undesirable prospects by giving you clues that let you know when a person is lying. As you are engaged in conversation, watch for certain behaviors that are often telltale signs of lying, in this case, when you bring up the question of whether he/she is married or not:

  • They break eye contact and look away, especially if they look up and to the left.
  • The pitch of their voice changes or they start to fidget which indicates stress levels are high.
  • They hesitate when you ask typically because they are trying to think of the right thing to say.
  • They turn their body away from you however slightly and often they will start to sweat.
  • They answer with an abundance of information that sounds somewhat prepared.
  • Their stores are inconsistent.
  • People often speak much more quickly when they are telling a lie and for some
  • people, their face turns red.
  • It’s Time to Run a Background Check
  • Start with researching whether or not your prospective date is a Registered Sex Offender.
  • Be sure to run the national search on this site as well as any counties your subject has lived in. Remember, that not all sex offenders are registered and not every database is updated, so you want to use as many sources as you can.
  • Run a nationwide criminal records check next. This $10 search houses records compiled from most jurisdictions throughout the United Sates and is a great first start to determining if your date has an undesirable background.

Couple of Sex Jokes

  • Posted on November 26, 2009 at 9:49 PM

sex-jokesSex and sexual activities are the world movers, so let enjoy them either in jokes.e

After some time, Gepetto asks Pinocchio:
- Well, did you resolve the problem with the girls?
- Daddy, since I got the sandpaper who needs the girls anymore.

Evolution of Sex

  • Posted on at 8:33 PM

evolution-of-sexHumans have been having sex since time immemorial, and not much changed as the centuries slid by. Then in the 1960s, the Pill came out, and the sexual revolution was said to begin. But the past 25 years have seen the most major advancements. Many more women who couldn’t have orgasms are now orgasmic. Many older people, particularly men, can have sex into their 90s. People are talking to each other about their sexual needs, and as a result, they’re more satisfied with their sex lives. And although we’ve made progress, more needs to be done.

First of all, millions of young people are just beginning their sexual lives. They need to be taught what to do and how to do it. Secondly, millions of adults are still having sex the way cave men and women did in the Stone Age. For whatever reason, the message that terrific sex is possible hasn’t penetrated. Finally, many people are still derailed by sexual myths.

How people learn about sex has a great deal to do with how well equipped they are to have sex. So where did most of you learn about sex? You learned a little bit from your parents and a little bit at school. But because much of this information was, rightfully, passed on before you were really ready to use it, it may not have meant all that much to you, and so it didn’t totally sink in.

Later on, if you had another class, you probably felt the need to act blasé, as if you knew it all, and you may not have bothered to listen. This Catch-22 makes having good sex difficult — you get the information before you need it, and you forget what you learned by the time you do need
it. Or you get the facts so confused that they’re not helpful to you.

Our children are the same way. Often, despite our best efforts as parents, kids are more likely to pay attention to what they hear on the street or in the locker room or at a sleepover. How much of this information is accurate is anybody’s guess.

But even though some of this information is true, it leads only to more confusion, because it doesn’t match the sexual myths that are also out there. And when you’re confused don’t you often end up not paying attention to anything you’ve heard — preferring to trust your instincts? Unfortunately, in sexual matters, trusting your instincts can often lead to problems.

In the end, you let trial and error become the teacher of last resort. And when that happens, not unexpectedly, you can often make serious mistakes — such as becoming pregnant when you don’t intend to be, or catching a sexually transmitted disease, or, at the very least, having a less-than-satisfactory sex life, or going through your entire life never having terrific sex.

In the 21st century, this process of misinformation and confusion can’t continue. In the past, we had rules in place to guide us so that, even if we didn’t understand human sexuality all that well, as long as we followed the rules and got married before having sex, we couldn’t stray too far. Can we? Well, the truth is over the past 40 years, these rules have begun to disintegrate badly. Some people would say the results — millions of unintended pregnancies, millions of single parents, vast numbers of people with sexually transmitted diseases — were predictable.

Online dating requirements

  • Posted on at 8:21 PM

online-dating-requirementsThe technical stuff

Dating sites are designed to be as simple as possible to use, but there are still a few things you will need before you can embark on your search. The most important requirement is a basic understanding of how to send and receive emails and how to use a web browser. Dating sites will generally assume you know how to do these things; some even have disclaimers saying they won’t be able to help you if you don’t. Knowing how to scan and upload pictures onto a website will also be useful, as photos are a key feature of online dating. Some dating sites offer support for people who are unable to digitise photos but you can’t always count on it.

If you want to make use of some of the fancier features that are available on some dating sites (such as video and voice chat) you will need to familiarise yourself with the workings of web cameras and microphones. Although not essential, these are usually quite simple to use and can certainly make your experience more enjoyable.

Helpful attitudes

Not everything about online dating is down to technical knowledge. Being in the right frame of mind is also important. First and foremost, you need to have faith. If you convince yourself that you’re never going to find love, you’ll end up with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Millions of people all over the world find love online every day. If you want to join them, the first step is making yourself believe that it’s possible (or at least not impossible).

While such optimism (or suspended disbelief) will work in your favour, it’s also essential to have reasonable expectations. Putting it bluntly: there are no quick fixes. Cases where people go online and find their prince or princess charming within minutes/hours/days are as rare as people bumping into their soulmate on the bus.Yes, it does sometimes happen, but if you expect it to, you may be greatly disappointed.

During my time as a moderator, I came across a large number of people who joined a dating site and expected to be immediately united with their ideal man or woman. Unfortunately for those people, online dating is not the lottery; it’s more of an investment. If you want to give it a real try, you will have to put time, effort and thought into the experience.

Be willing to spend time (and often money) looking for the right site and the right people, be willing to go on a lot of dates and, most importantly, be willing to go back to the drawing board until you find what (and who) you want.

Who can try Online Dating?

  • Posted on at 8:14 PM

is-online-dating-for-meSimply put, anyone can try online dating. However, your level of success will depend on several different factors.

Using the Internet, you can connect with thousands of new people without ever having to leave the house. This makes online dating particularly
useful for those who fall under the below categories:

  • People who are generally unable to go out and socialise regularly such as single parents, busy professionals, and those who are bedridden or disabled
  • People with small social circles that lack suitable singles (recent divorcées, people in rural areas and anyone who’s recently moved to a new city)
  • People who want to know more about their potential dates before meeting them in person
  • People who do not enjoy the loud social situations that are usually involved in the traditional dating process and are seeking an alternative. While dating sites are a great way to help you meet people, they cannot transform anyone’s personality overnight or perform miracles. Those who fall under the below categories are not likely to benefit from their online dating experience:
  • People with severe psychological or behavioural problems
  • People who are still recovering from a bad break-up and are not yet ready to start dating again
  • People who expect fast results with zero effort on their part

History of Online Dating

  • Posted on at 8:10 PM

history-online-datingMost people think about the World Wide Web when they think about online dating. The truth is, online dating predates the invention of the Web itself and goes back to the early days of the Internet. Back in those days, when the Internet was a plain, text-only medium, people used to make new friends by means of simple chat software, multi-user games and discussion groups.

Surprisingly, early Internet users still managed to fall in love with each other, even though their less nerdy friends all thought they were crazy.With the invention of the Web, operating systems like Microsoft Windows and user-friendly chat programs such as ICQ and MSN Messenger, even less technically minded people started using the Internet to communicate with others.

Sadly, as the Internet became more popular, it also became more open to abuse. Chat rooms, previously thought of as the best means of online social interaction, became infested with spammers and perverts who ruined the experience for everyone. It was only a matter of time until dating websites started appearing, in order to provide a safer, more convenient alternative. Dating sites have now become one of the most popular ways of meeting people online. As a result, they have evolved into a multi-million pound industry, which is still growing every day.

Advantages of Online Dating

  • Posted on at 8:07 PM

advantages-of-online-datingPeople turn to online dating for different reasons; what you get out of it largely depends on what you want to achieve. It’s a highly versatile medium that is aimed at fulfilling a variety of needs.

Using the Internet you could:

  • Expand your social circle
  • Find activity partners
  • Find new sexual partners
  • Fall in love
  • Find your next husband or wife

Some people are comfortable with the prospect of communicating with people in writing over the Internet and some prefer more traditional methods like phone calls or meeting up in person. If the thought of spending your spare time chatting online doesn’t appeal to you, don’t worry. Using online dating does not necessarily mean spending long periods of time exchanging messages or emails. Many people nowadays choose to keep their online interaction time to a minimum and there are sites where this form of online dating is actively encouraged. On the other hand, if you want to take your time and be more cautious that’s perfectly acceptable too.

What is Online Dating?

  • Posted on at 8:02 PM

b10402Online dating, as you probably know, is simply the name given to the process of meeting and socialising with people on the Internet. The term ‘online dating’ itself is rather inaccurate: people generally don’t ‘date’ on the Internet – they just use it to make initial contact. A more accurate term would have been ‘online introductions’, but that doesn’t sound nearly as catchy.

Online dating is now a highly popular activity: approximately ten million people in the UK use online dating sites every month. In the USA, where Internet dating is now virtually a mainstream activity, the number is even higher.

Although most people associate online dating with dedicated dating sites, there are other means of using the Net to socialise. These will be discussed in Chapter 12 of this book and include platforms such as social networking sites, message boards and chat rooms. If you take all these into account, you will realise that billions, rather than mere millions of people are using the Internet for social purposes every day.

Are Men really stronger than Women?

  • Posted on November 25, 2009 at 9:40 PM

strong-menWhile men are physically stronger, they are biologically weaker than women. The Y chromosome is actually a fragment and they have no back up should anything be genetically wrong with them. Women, with their two X chromosomes, have a backup should some genes be inoperable or damaged in some way. This means that males are more susceptible to illness, genetic maladies, and disease. Women can carry defective genes and escape the malady but men cannot carry – they either have the disease or condition, or they don’t.

Before the advent of DNA, there was little way of telling whether a child was the offspring of a particular man. The woman had to be there so it was easier to know if the child was hers. This leads to a basic psychological insecurity in men. This insecurity leads to the jealousy and possessiveness we see in men. Some can overcome it, some cannot. Women can have it too but in their case it is based upon the fear of being abandoned and left to care for children on their own. If she has independent means, she has little cause to feel this way while money rarely cures a man of his jealousy and possessiveness.

These two emotions lead to aggressiveness and competitiveness. Not only must a man provide, hunt, for his family, he must also protect and defend them. Other men represent a threat. Then there are those disenfranchised men – those without homes or families. They do not have anything invested to hold them to the community and represent a threat to society at large. If they have no other outlet, they tend to turn to crime.

Thus genetically and behaviorally, men tend to live dangerously and to seek thrills more than women do. They like motorcycles, for example, more than women do. There’s also another element to this matrix. They want women to notice them. They want women to think they are big and brave and therefore would make good husbands and fathers. Even if the women think they’re idiots for doing something dangerous, men think it is worth the risk because “she noticed me”. If a woman notices you, you’ve got a chance to mate with her. She might select you instead of the next guy.

Men Psychology

  • Posted on at 9:38 PM

men-PsychologyThere are lots of men in the world. Some are more delightful than others, but most will be very happy if only you’d notice them. Men are neither
monsters nor simpletons; they are, like us, a mix of the good, the bad, and the indifferent.

Men pretty much want the same things women want. They mainly want someone to give a damn about them. Men are human beings first and men
second. This meanings that men also have feelings, hopes, fears, dreams and desires.

Men regard women as both the most fascinating and the most exasperating people on the planet. To men, women get upset at the silliest of
things and women wonder why they haven’t strangled such unthinking persons yet.

The scientifical basic is this – All fetuses begin as females. During pregnancy, sexual differentiation begins when the ‘to be male’ fetus receives a dose of testosterone. If this does not happen, the baby will appear female at birth and his masculinity will not emerge until puberty takes hold.
Such a drastic change will have a profound effect. This is only the beginning for males have a perilous journey through life.

The Feminine Signs: Water & Earth

  • Posted on at 9:12 PM

zodiac elements Earth and waterReceptive and internal, men of these signs tend to be more sensitive and intuitive. If you’re looking to settle down, start a family, or buy a home, these signs are far more likely to go along with your nesting campaign. Chivalrous and old-fashioned, they can be more romantic than some of the women you know. Don’t hurt their tender feelings by being too direct!

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Hello, Mr. Sensitivity. Intuitive Water sign men can be as deep and mysterious as the ocean. Being in their presence can have a healing effect on your life, and they can be caring companions. They’re often “one of the girls,” and can be as catty as a junior high cheerleader. They notice everything! Water sign men’s tendency to be oversensitive can set them adrift on a sea of selfabsorption. At such times, you have to be careful not to drown in their depths, or be pulled into a needy undertow. Security is important to them—after all, water needs a container, or it dries up and disappears. These signs often have intense dreams and borderline-psychic intuition.

Best if you value:

  • Emotional exploration
  • People who work in the healing arts
  • Security and comfort, but a little edge of mystery
  • Being coddled and babied
  • Sarcastic jokes
  • Playing a nurturing role
  • A man who’s not afraid to cry
  • Family and kids
  • Dressing up and being appreciated for your beauty
  • “Just the two of us” intimacy
  • Working on your issues together
  • Anything domestic: cooking, cleaning, decorating for the holidays
  • A guy who might be willing to be a stay-at-home dad
  • A man who can be “one of the girls”

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

As grounded as the earth beneath your feet, stable Earth sign men can put your life on a solid foundation. Dutiful as military offi cers, they like to be there for friends in need. Slow and steady, these “builders” are loyal and stable, and stick by their people through hard times. On good days, they’re practical; at worst, they can be materialistic or too focused on the surface of things to dig into the depths. Change is not their forte; they often need a more dynamic partner to keep them from getting stuck in a rut.

Best if you value:

  • Stability and security
  • A realist type, rather than a dreamer
  • Having a long-term mate who fi ts in with your family and friends
  • Building a future together
  • Money and fi nancial responsibility
  • Substance and style
  • A “daddy” type
  • A more conservative disposition
  • Traditions
  • Fine dining, fi ve-star hotels, luxury goods
  • A touch of snobbery
  • A “director” or “manager” type: someone who handles the decisions and manages practical matters you prefer to avoid (bills, taxes, mortgage payments, reservations)
