- When a girl says she's sad, but she isn't crying, it means she's crying in her heart.
- When she ignores you after you've done something wrong, it's best to give her some time to cool down before touching her heart with an apology.
- A girl can't find anything to hate about the guy she loves (which is why it is so hard for her to 'get over him' after the relationship's over.)
- If a girl loves a guy, he will always be on her mind every minute of the day, even though she flirts with other guys.
- When the guy she likes smiles and stares deep into her eyes, she will melt.
- A girl likes to hear compliments, but usually not sure how to react to them.
- When a particular guy flirts with a girl very often, a girl would start thinking the guy likes her. So if you treat a girl just as a friend, go easy on the smiles and stare ok?
- If you don't like a girl who likes you, break it to her gently.
- If a girl starts avoiding you after you reject her, leave her alone for a while. If you still treat her as a friend, talk to her.
- Girls enjoy talking about what they feel. Music, poetry, drawings and writing are ways of expressing themselves (which explains why most girls like writing journals).
- Never tell a girl that she is useless in anyway.
- Being too serious can turn a girl off.
- When the guy she likes calls her for the first time, the girl may act uninterested during the call. But as soon as the phone is back on the hook, she will whoop with joy and immediately start telephoning her friends to spread the news.
- A smile means a lot to a girl.
- If you like a girl, try making friends with her first. Let her get to know you.
- If a girl says she can't go out with you because she has to study, leave.
- But if she still calls you or expect a call from you, stay.
- Don't try to guess a girl's feelings. Ask her.
- Hearing the words "I love you" is a great reassurance to a girl that she is beautiful.
- After a girl falls in love with a guy, she'll wonder why she never noticed him before.
- If you need tips on how to flirt with a girl, read romance stories.
- When class pictures come out, a girl would first check who is standing next to her crush before actually looking at herself.
- A girl's ex-crush will always be in her memory, but the guy she loves now stays in her heart.
- Girls love having fun!
- A simple 'Hi' can brighten a girl's day.
- A girl's best friends usually know best what she is feeling and going through.
- Girls hate it when a guy pays attention to them just to get close to their 'prettier' friend.
- Love means devotion, caring and happiness to a girl, in that order.
- Some girls care about looks, some care about brains, but ALL girls want a guy who will love and care for them.
- Girls want nothing more than to feel loved.
Dark Under Eye Circles Treatment & How to Hide or Lighten Them with Makeup
What Causes Under-Eye Circles & Darkness
Dark circles under the eyes tends to be a genetic issue and practically unavoidable if dark under eye areas run in your family. But for people whose genetic background doesn't predispose them to dark circles, the easiest solution may be to get some sleep and drink a lot more water. One of the first signs of fatigue or dehydration is dark circles that appear under the eyes. The under-eye skin is thin, with a membrane that runs between a fatty layer and the outer layer of skin we see. When your body needs water, it shows up around the eyes first. Drinking liquor causes dehydration, as does over consumption of sugar and caffeine. Stress also causes under eye puffiness. Diet can impact your face too, especially if you have food allergies, and sulfites in wine can wreak havoc on the delicate skin around your eyes. So, once again, the answer nobody wants to hear: you might be able to banish undereye circles from within by taking care of your health.
Natural Home Remedies for Dark Under Eye Circles
But home remedies can only do so much. If your dark under eye circles don't budge even after a long nap and eight glasses of water a day, it's time to go the cosmetic or make up route. There are lots of options here, some more useful than others. Moisturizers are helpful mainly in that if you have lines around your eyes, the shine from the moisturizer will help lessen them and create a lighter look. Look for moisturizers with natural ingredients such as avocado oil, sesame, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. Moisturizer also works well as a base for under eye makeup like concealer because it smoothes the skin and makes it easier to apply a tinted cosmetic. There are no make-up secrets here: moisturizer will help other makeup keep from caking.
Best Beauty Product to Hide Dark Eye Circles
The best beauty product for under eye circles is concealer, and most makeup artists agree that it's important to use one with a slight golden color, as yellow tones counteract dark ones. Chamomile has long been known as a natural remedy for skin, and some concealers contain this ingredient which can help cure as it covers. Concealer is great for dealing with dark circles as long as you get the right shade and apply it correctly. Some women make the mistake of choosing a concealer that's too light: then you wind up with reverse-raccoon eyes, where the whiteness under your eyes looks strange and somewhat alien. The ideal concealer is usually a shade lighter than your foundation. To some extent, the area under the eyes is somewhat shadier than the rest of your face because the eye sockets naturally are somewhat receded into the face. If your concealer is too light, your eyes will disappear in the glare.
Non Surgical and Surgical Treatments to Correct Puffy Under Eyes
If you're tired of trying to erase your circles with eye cream, you may be looking for a treatment or even a cure. Looking tired all the time can affect your morale as well as the way people treat you. There are non-surgical options to eliminate puffy or dark undereye areas: injections performed by cosmetic surgeons can fill the hollows, and need repeating every three or four months. A really good ocularfacial surgeon can tighten the skin of the eyelids, reducing the puffiness and eliminating the dark circles for years to come. Called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can get rid of dark circles, puffy upper or lower eyelids and hollow, tired looking eyes. If you go this route, make sure to find a specialist who has done thousands of eyelids, ask to see before and after pictures and check with the local medical board to check the surgeon's history with other patients

Currently on the market? Good for you, girl! But make sure you read this post before rushing into a new relationship. Here are ten types of man that are not likely to make you happy, and from my point of view, it’s better to stay away from them as soon as they show one of these patterns.
1. Born complainers …
Nothing will ever be good enough for this man, you’ll always be too loud, too stupid, too happy…..Avoid him like you would the plague, you’ll never be good enough for him and he’ll just kill your self esteem.
2. ‘Damaged’ men …
… Who don’t want to be fixed. On your first date he’ll announce that he is not over his broken heart. On your tenth, you’ll realise that he isn’t just broken hearted; he enjoys it, and has made a solemn pact to never let anybody in again. His armour is so thick that you’ll never get through, so don’t waste your time trying.
3. Guys that love sports more then you …
Most guys will put a sport first at some point, but you know that he’ll be there for you if you need him. Guys who love sports too much, however, won’t care if the house is on fire or the babies crying, he’ll just want another beer and some “peace” to watch the match.
4. Men who analyse you …
He thinks he’s Freud, and analyses your every move, from the flavour of crisp you choose to what you watch on TV. He’ll sit with a smug smile, convinced that by labelling you he’ll be keeping you hooked. Soon he’ll be trying to “fix” you with his weird theories….bin him now.
5. Pretty-Pretty boys …
They will just leave you feeling ugly while he spends his time fixing his hair and acting more beautiful and delicate then you. Find a more masculine man, and leave him preening himself
6. Mr. Im-Better-Then-Everyone …
He won’t do you any favours either. He’ll never smile, or be happy for you, and if you spend long enough with him you’ll start to despise the human race too. Leave him to feel smugly better than anyone, and go meet someone amazing.
7. Paranoid men …
Something gave them the green eyed monster, and it’s just never gone away. He’ll presume your cheating, hate anything that makes you look good and constantly accuse you of flirting with others. He won’t be happy until he’s the only person in your life, so bail now.
8. Men who just haven’t grown up …
These men refuse to get a job, blame everyone else for their laziness and unhappiness, and are constantly outraged that they are not respected. If he hasn’t grown up by now, chances are he’ll never take any responsibility, so stay well clear.
9. Cheaters …
Obviously, it doesn’t matter who this guy has waiting for him at home, if he sees somebody he likes, he’ll seduce them. Save yourself the heartache and live by the old saying, “Once a cheater, always a cheater”, because if it wasn’t true, wouldn’t somebody have proved it wrong by now?
10. Cruel men …
The kind of man who gets off from the power of refusing to take you somewhere, or spend money on you, or any type of power at all. He won’t get better, and it’s not because he loves you. Walk away, as fast as you can
This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE.
My husband is S/W Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.
Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.
I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.
One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.
"Why?" he asked, shocked.
"I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.
He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?
And finally he asked me: "What can I do to change your mind?"
Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.
Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?"
He said: "I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.
I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....
My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but....please allow me to explain the reasons further.....
This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.
"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.
You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.
You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way.
You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.
You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...
Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... "
My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... and as I continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...
I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...
That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.
Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...
Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE
In this article, I'll tell you what you ABSOLUTELY MUST know about your woman to attract her, win over her heart, and grow her love for you!
1) What girls really want is romance! If you want this girl, give her what she wants. Some guys would freak out whenever they hear this word 'romance'. You really need not have to crack your brains really hard or spend too much energy and time to know what you are doing is right. Many times, being romantic often means giving her the attention she wants. She just needs to feel that she is your number one woman - the sweetest, sexiest, prettiest, most wonderful woman in your heart. If you can find ways to continuously reinforce her beliefs, not only will you be able to attract her, but you'll be able to keep her by your side for as long as you want!
Does it cost a lot to be romantic? Not really! What you can do is:
- Ask her how her day is!
- Tuck a friendly or love note using different methods and in different ways, telling her she is on your mind.
- If she has offered her help in any of your projects, send her a note saying "You are the best!"
- If she has made you some home made chicken soup, find ways to let her know "You are a wonderful person!"
2) Shows her that you care! For examples:
- Teach her how to write a webpage for her favorite pet.
- Teach her how to program the VCR.
- Teach her how to fish.
- Teach her to cook your secret recipe.
In short, don't just offer the solutions. Be patient enough to explain and teach her the solutions, even if it's not easy to teach. Many other people are too impatient to teach or even show her how to do it; most just want to get it over and done with. You can win over her heart if you can be that some one DIFFERENT and SPECIAL.
3) Women love men who seem detached and attached at the same time. You seem to be living in a world of your own, and women admire you for your ability to keep your lives AND have a relationship at the same time. You don't worry much; and seem to keep your feelings inside of you. To become such a 'man', you have to be complete in your body, mind and soul. You know how to have a divine life and keep a blissful relationship at the same time. All of these can be achieved if you would learn how to increase and cultivate your magnetic power! Thus, to attract and keep the woman of your dreams, do not 'lose' your-self whilst going into a relationship. This is one of the secrets to retrieving a lost lover!
Knowledge is power, and the more you know about girls - why they think as they do, and why they behave as they do - the more you'll be successful making your girl happy and satisfied in many, many ways! In addition, the more you value and honor the love a girl has for you, the more she'll will end up giving you exactly what you want and need!
