Examples on Body Language

One of the important part of a communication process is body language. Usually, it can influence a negative or positive reaction to the person you are talking with.

Actions made by your lips, eyes and eyebrows, arms or any other part of your body creates the body language perceived by others unknowingly to the speaker.

When you speak or actually even when not speaking, it is quite beneficial to know your body actions so that you do not get a negative impression or unwanted reaction from others without knowing it. Below are examples on how body language speaks.

Eyes And Eyebrows:

‘A window to our soul’ quite deep and cryptic as a quoted phrase for the eyes and eyebrows but it is true to some extent to either confirm or say something else from what is spoken about. Sometimes, the listener doubts or misunderstood what one is saying just looking at your eyes and eyebrows.

The movements and position of these body parts are usually the first to be noticed upon face to face communication.

A particular example and a popular one at that is the impression you show if you are apprehensive or in a burdened mood is when your eyebrows meet in the middle as with frowning. One may think you?re faking it and actually mad even if you speak slowly and with a soft voice.

Lips:

The mouth is usually another part of your body which can speak about your mood.

With differences in positions and shapes particularly the lips and how they form, it is very common to have universal concepts regarding how one feel during a conversation just by noticing one’s mouth. Here are some of those concepts:

When one is holding back waits for affirmation or action from the other conversant, the lower lips are usually retracted with the upper teeth almost biting it. Sometimes, this is common for those people who are holding back.

If it is the other way around where the upper lip and lower teeth almost biting it, the person seems to keep mixed reactions and is holding back as with a reaction to what is being said by the other.

Some significant implications of these small movements may create a reaction to either stop or continue the conversation process to the person seeing them.

Extremities:

For more profound or for those that create heavier impact, one can notice how the arms and legs create a larger notions of body language.

Those that show doubt, mistrust, impatience, or closed-mindedness usually cross their arms over their chest. By having one leg stepped away and angled while the body rest in the other leg, this can create or heightened an unfriendly gesture towards the other.

Body language can do you good if confirms what you are saying. One way to harness it I actually practice and internalize a reverse position where you are the one seeing those actions as you speak. You then can ask yourself, ?boy is that what I really mean?? and then be reminded that actions speak louder than words.  Next time, you will be more conscious on how your body acts while you speak or even when not.

How to Talk Dirty to My Boyfriend - Part 2

4 Tips To Talk Dirty And Spice Up Your Relationship With Your Boyfriend

If you hesitate to talk dirty with your boyfriend, something is missing in your relationship. You might be having a great relationship with your boyfriend, but the inability to talk dirty reflects a lack of passion, thrill, joy, and fire in your relationship. So, start talking dirty with your boyfriend and spice up your relationship.

You might be under the misconception that men don?t appreciate girls who talk dirty. You might be afraid of being laughed at, ridiculed, or even rejected. But none of this will happen! If you begin talking dirty, you will be giving your boyfriend a pleasant surprise. Studies show the men love it when their women say dirty things to them. To put it simply, talking dirty can greatly enhance the quality of your relationship.

Are you finding it difficult to start? Are you afraid to talk dirty with your boyfriend? Do you feel that talking dirty is something that ?good? girls don?t do? Here are some great tips to help you feel more confident.

1. Let the Relationship Develop into an Intimate Phase

Never make the mistake of talking dirty to your boyfriend in the initial phases of the relationship. This will break and not raise your relationship to delightful heights. Dirty talk is delightful only when you have strong feelings for each other.

Wait for the relationship to grow and blossom. Know each other well and learn to feel comfortable in each other?s presence. You are now setting the right atmosphere for effective dirty talk.

2. Be Confident

You can wreck the joys of dirty talking by exhibiting fear or guilt. Talk confidently! As previously mentioned, your boyfriend will get a pleasant surprise. Soon he will be talking dirty too, and you will find that you have added a lot of spice to your relationship.

3. Create the Right Environment

Do not just start talking dirty. Start by having a light, lively, humorous chat with your boyfriend in a secluded and romantic place. Find out about your boyfriend?s mood at that moment. Gradually, lead the conversation to more erotic topics.

4. Dirty Phone Talk

If you are too shy to talk dirty face to face, try having a dirty telephonic conversation. Talking dirty over the phone can be a delightful experience. The facts that you cannot see each other?s faces, but can only hear sexy, sibilant whispers, make it all the more exciting.

Are you still hesitating to start talking dirty to your boyfriend? Banish all feelings of guilt. Talking dirty has been proved to be a great relationship enhancer. It can bring you closer to your boyfriend and prevent future break ups and heart breaks. However, it is a skill, and like all skills, it has to be carefully cultivated. Read more about erotic topics to get great ideas.

How successful you are in enhancing your relationship by talking dirty to your boyfriend depends on your boyfriend?s feelings for you, your own confidence, the quality of your relationship, and how long you have been together.

How to Talk Dirty to My Boyfriend?

How To Talk Dirty To My Boyfriend - Dealing With The Hardest Bit, Getting Started!

For whatever reason, you want to talk dirty to your boyfriend. No problem, good idea, go for it. But hold on, once you’ve made the decision, how do you actually start? What can you do to make sure that your dirty talk doesn’t floor him with shock?

Without going into your reasons and motivation for talking dirty to your boyfriend (because there is another article in that subject alone!) you are faced with a second choice to make following your first of deciding to actually talk dirty to him.

How To Talk Dirty

How do you get started?

More specifically, how do you get started in such a way that you don’t surprise him so much he jumps out of bed thinking you are someone else, trip over the discarded clothes left strewn around the floor in your build up of lust and end up breaking his leg?

Well, there are a couple of things that you can do to ‘ease’ him into this new found pleasure.

Let’s take a clinical view of your relationship for a second shall we?

Is your boyfriend or relationship the type where you tend to talk about most things in an open and free manner?

If it is, you have the option to actually ask him outright if he fancies you talking dirty and vice versa. Now I don’t mean you should include it as just any other old subject like who’s parents you are visiting this weekend and what shopping needs picking up from the store later - take a break, take a walk or have a 5 minute cuddle on the sofa and gently broach the subject, something along the lines of “Baby, I was just thinking the other day, remembering some of the great sessions we’ve had together in bed and out of it. The nicest thing was, as I was thinking about it all, I found I was getting quite aroused again - and that led me to think about trying talking dirty sometime. Would you like that, would you enjoy it do you think?”

Excellent way of broaching the subject and getting his feedback. Your explaining to him that just thinking about you and him together does it for you and you’d like to introduce another level of pleasure, verbal stimulation!

If you’re both talkers and communicate - he’ll answer you, don’t worry!

But what if you aren’t great talkers or you feel to shy to actually ask him first? How do you deal with introducing it now?

Here’s what you do.

Break him in gently.

If you launch into your first session as soon as his hand touches you, reeling off the 15 most famous Porn film lines of all time - he’ll pass out probably.

Be subtle, move into it slowly and gently.

Introduce it during some mutual foreplay or build up play.

Tell him how what he is doing to you makes you feel. Slip in a sentence here and there that is descriptive and emotional:-

“I love it when you touch me there like that, it makes me feel all tingly everywhere”

“Your touch is so gentle and soft, it really does turn me on.”

If your boyfriend doesn’t shy away or look at you as though you have suddenly developed two heads (don’t worry, he won’t!) then carry on talking softly, almost whispering.

And this is important - don’t talk normally, don’t shout. Whisper, murmur or even mumble. By lowering your voice and whispering, you create a sensed air of privacy, intimacy and closeness between just the two of you - and that will help your boyfriend join in, enjoy and ultimately want to participate in talking dirty!

Too adult orientated to include in an article that’s being shown on a family site, you should try checking out the stunning tips and tricks on how to talk dirty to my boyfriend

Does My Boyfriend Still Love Me

Does my Boyfriend Really Love Me?

When in a relationship, there comes a time an individual may not be able to differentiate between true love and puppy love. So, if you often wonder whether your boyfriend loves you truly, then here is a simple guide that reveals some signs about a relation that’s for keeps.

When Boyzone crooned ‘Love me for a reason’, they sure did get all their reasons across! After all, everyone wants true love at some point in their life no matter how much they may deny this fact initially! Girls who are on the lookout for a truly committed person may often be plagued with thoughts such as, ‘Does my boyfriend really love me?’ Well, to tell you the truth girls, love is something that cannot be measured and true love can be felt from within. Sometimes, words are never enough to describe one’s feelings and only the vibes you share with your boyfriend may truly reveal what he feels. So, if you are still wondering if your boyfriend loves you or not, then here’s a quick checklist that should help you to gauge his feelings and know where your relationship is heading towards.

Does my Boyfriend Love Me

You know it’s true love when…
He always makes it a point to communicate with you. If your boyfriend loves to talk to you and listens to your joys and sorrows, he sure is taking a deep interest in you. True love is not just about hanging out at coffee shops, it’s about being knowing and communicating with each other.

You know it’s true love when…
He goes out of his way to make you happy. For example, you may love to watch movies and he may be more of a sports freak. If he gets you the backseat tickets for a Saturday night simply because you wanted to watch the latest release, you can be rest assured he honestly loves you! When your boyfriend makes a special effort to spend more time with you or wants to get to know you better by doing things you love, it’s definitely a sign of true love!

You know it’s true love when…
His priorities revolve around you. Does he make it a point to put other things on the backseat? Does he involve you in his decisions always? If you are his priority, chances are he will always hold you as the most important factor in life. Looking forward to spending weekends together or spending time with you rather than going in for a booze party would only show he appreciates time spent with you. If he has his priorities right in life, you will figure in many of his plans!

You know it’s true love when…
He takes you home to meet his family. A boyfriend who intends to be more than just a boyfriend would make it a point to introduce you to people who matter the most to him in life, be it family or friends. If your boyfriend makes a special effort to help you establish a relation with his near and dear ones, then you would definitely know it is heading in the right direction.

You know it’s true love when…
He remembers all special and important days. It could be anything, your birthday or an anniversary! If he remembers days that hold importance for you, then girl! You have him hooked already! A man would probably need to make a special effort to keep important dates in mind and you can be tension-free if he is a making an effort in this direction!

You know it’s true love when…
He gives you the freedom to express and be yourself. If your boyfriend makes it a point to avoid dominating you and lets you be your natural self, then there can be no two ways to the way he feels. He loves you for what you are and does not wish to change a thing about you! Freedom of expression and being the true ‘you’ is very much required to have a relationship that’s for keeps!

These are a few signs to know if your boyfriend really does love you. Always follow your heart to know what his feelings hold for you!

Love is a holy, wonderful feeling, which is deeply rooted in your mind. It is an expression of intense feelings for another person. It makes your life cheerful and full of enthusiam. Sometimes it happens that you know a person very well. He/she is your best friend. And suddenly you start feeling that you are in love with him/her. Sometimes you get introduced to a person and as you start meeting him/her frequently, you realize that you have developed some special feelings for him/her. You experience loneliness, restlessness without that person. You don’t understand what is it? It’s nothing but a great, heavenly feeling what is called love.

Signs of Falling in Love

Signs of Being in Love

Love cannot be learnt or taught. Sometimes, you are not even aware when it happens. Falling in love with someone is an exciting, wonderful experience. It may also be bit confusing, if you are unfamiliar with this experience. You don’t understand what is happening with you. If you know the signs of being in love, it will help relieve your confusion and understand your inner feelings.

  • When you are in love with someone, you remember him/her all the time. You go on thinking about that person and the happy moments spent together. You are not even able to concentrate on your work.
  • When you are in love, everything in daily life reminds you of him/her. When you see anything or do anything, you tend to recall the related memories of the moments that you spent with him/her.
  • If you concern a lot about someone, then it indicates that you are in love. You always care about his/her safety and happiness. You experience an overwhelming urge that he/she should be happy and comfortable and should not be troubled by anything. It becomes your number one priority. You always try to protect that person.
  • When you start loving someone, you become more cautious about your appearance. You naturally wish that you should look more attractive to him. You become attentive about your clothes and hairstyle, so that you would get an appreciation from him/her. You look more attractive and cheerful and it’s because of your romantic mood. You also try to impress him/her by updating your knowledge about the current issues.
  • When you love someone, you feel that no person is more attractive than the individual you love. You even don’t notice the presence of other people. Your whole attention is concentrated on that individual only.
  • Now you deny spending much time with your friends. You want to spend more time with him/her. You want to be alone and think more about your special person. Even though you are surrounded by your friends, you will find yourself constantly thinking about being with someone special.
  • When you find someone interesting, you wish to know more about him/her. You want to know about his interests, likes and dislikes and career. You are eager to understand every detail of his/her life. You also try to do the things that he/she likes.
  • There was a time, when you were cautious about time or spending the money. But when you are with someone special, you even don’t think about time or how much money you spend to buy a gift for him/her.
  • Loyalty is another name for love. You want to be loyal to him/her and expect the same from that person. He/she becomes the only concerned person for you.
  • When you love someone, you tend to think about his/her expectations. You think about his/her views and needs and learn to compromise.
  • You share some beautiful moments with him/her. You feel happy and excited when you plan about going to a party or picnics, attending a ceremony together. You start discussing about the future plans.

Love Letters to Write to a Boyfriend

Love Letter Writing Guide - How to Write Romantic Love Letters

Love Letter Saying Sorry
What can be more romantic than sending a handwritten love letter to your loved one, full of romantic words and genuine feelings you have for him? Learn how to write the perfect love letter that brightens your romantic relationship…

What can be more romantic than sending a handwritten love letter to your loved one, full of romantic words and genuine feelings you have for him? Love letters are one of the best ways to show your special loved ones how you feel for them and how much you love them.

A heartfelt love letter also makes the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, but you don’t have to just limit yourself to that specific day. Every day is a great opportunity to make your loved one happy by sharing your deepest feelings with him/her.

The great thing about love letters is that you don’t have to be a poet or a skilled “writer” to be able to write them. Everyone - and I really mean “everyone” - can do it.

Because they are just about putting your romantic feelings into words genuinely - even in very simple words. This openness is what makes love letters special.

To write a more romantic and heart warming letter, here are some questions that will give you good ideas to write about:

Idea #1:

What was the first time you felt you were in love with him? Did anything special happen that made you realize your love?

You can describe in clear details how it happened and how you felt and it will mean the world to your loved one. I promise. :-)

Idea #2:

What is the #1 thing he has that makes you feel so much in love with him whenever you think about it? It could be about looks or about personality.

For example you may say “the way his face shines when he smiles”, or “the way his eyes always bring peace and love to me when I look into them.”

Idea #3:

What positive changes have you made since he has entered your life? What valuable lessons have you learned from him?

For example it could be that before you met him, you were pretty shy and didn’t fully believe in yourself and your unique abilities, but he helped you love yourself more and be proud of who you are.

When your loved one reads this, she will practically feel on clouds because he/she sees what a big difference he had made in your life.

Idea #4:

It’s also a good idea to include a heartfelt romantic love poem at the end or the beginning of your letter. Sometimes nothing can show how we feel better and deeper than a good poem.

Idea #5:

And as the last tip: Don’t forget to say “I Love You” at the end of your letter. This simple yet effective sentence will really seal the deal in your loved one’s mind.

Wish you a wonderful life full of love,

What Is Love?

What is LoveHuman beings are the most intelligent of all the animals on earth. Perhaps that is why man is sometimes referred to as the ‘supreme animal’. Mythology has it that when Eve tasted the forbidden fruit (read ‘the divine apple’) and asked Adam to eat the same fruit, both fell in ‘love’ with each other. This angered the God and they (Adam and Eve) were kicked out from the house of God and sent to earth. Someone has rightly said “when the power of love overcomes the love for power, the world will know peace”.

In this world full of hatred and evil, if there is something that is keeping us happy, then it is none other than ‘love’. It is important to answer the question “what is love”. The English dictionary defines the verb love as ‘to possess powerful feelings of affection for a friend, relative or any other person’. Sexual attraction is also a form of love. Love is not a singular feeling; it is the essence of different mental states, feelings and emotions.

Emotions (read ‘human emotions’) are so complex that even scientists have not been able to decode their exact nature. Even the cycle of emotions is a little difficult to be explained. Nevertheless, the term ‘emotions’ is so vivid in nature that the English Dictionary has at least a few hundred adjectives to cover different colors of emotions.  It is almost impossible to define the term ‘love’. However, it is very much possible to interpret its meaning you take a closer look at human behavior.

Let us throw light on the different shades of love and human emotion. Have you ever wondered how many times you utter the words ‘I love!’ every single day? A child would demand a toy from his mother by either crying (if he is an infant) or by showing his strong will to have that toy. Even when a child does not know how to speak, he can express his feelings very well. Love is the feeling which leads to a lifelong relationship between a man and a woman. Infidelity is not that uncommon a word today.

Love is perhaps the answer to infidelity. The desire to love and to be loved is the most intense of all desires. In general, the term ‘love’ is often believed to be synonymous to ‘physical contact’ or ‘sexual contact’. This belief is erroneous. Had it been so, there would have been no love between an old man and his old wife. I do not say that sexual acts are something unethical. In fact, sex is also an important aspect of love. The four letter word (read love) is the gist of all religions.

There are many who do not understand the difference between love and lust. When a young man sees a young and attractive woman, he thinks he is in love with her. However, the truth is that for love to develop, one needs to spend time with another person. Sexual attraction does not necessarily give birth to love. If love is not sexual attraction, then what is love? In terms of psychology, love can be considered to be a cognitive phenomenon. Love has three aspects namely commitment, intimacy and passion.

Each of these three aspects is crucial for the success of any relationship. The meaning of love changes with age too. For example, the romantic affair between a 16 year old girl and 17 year old boy is completely different in comparison to the relationship between a couple in their mid thirties. Is love a cultural phenomenon? Medical Science has proved that hormones and pheromones influence the brains of human beings when they think of love and/or sex. What are the different types of love? It would be foolish to categorize love as ‘young love’ and ‘old love’.

In general, love can be spiritual and sexual. Sexual acts reflect the desire of human beings to attain physical (as well as mental) pleasure. Perhaps this is the reason why the term ‘making love’ is used in English. There have been many psychologists who have written a lot about various types of love. Speaking of ‘young love’, a couple can keep the flame of love and passion alive forever. True love is hard to find. Lucky are those who have found true love. Next time you think of love, ask yourself ‘what is love’.

5 Keys to a Great Relationship

Great RelationshipA great relationship is never easy. It can sometime feel a little bit daunting to hold on to the things that will make it work. It’s sometimes tough to know what the right thing is, that’s will keep the relationship moving up.

Check out these 5 keys to building a great relationship

1. Finding the right person!

It’s a little strange, but so often we park in the wrong place. Staying to long where we know things aren’t a good fit. None of us is looking for perfection but staying on top of what you want is important.

At the outset it’s important to find someone you have a good time with, someone that shares your hopes and dreams and most importantly has fun in the ways you like to have fun. Isn’t that really what its all about? Even in the worst of times, you should still be able to smile and feel great with you’re closest friend?

It’s ok to disagree, but finding someone that makes that easy is key.

2. Being able to Forgive

This is quite possibly the most important.  To have a relationship that will really stand the test you have to have a way to maintain it. People will always make mistakes, and there must be a place to come to resolve those. Having a partner and a spirit in yourself that can truly forgive these mistakes is the best way to keep honesty in the relationship.

Its when the communication breaks down and people are unwilling to forgive that fear and anger sets in and we start looking to place our intimacies elsewhere.

It may be a sacrifice, but next time you see an opportunity to be angry, try forgiving rather than building on the anger. It’s within us all to make mistakes, and it everyone’s job to be able to overcome them.

3. Being Flexible

Being in a great relationship, means knowing you are sharing your lives and that means sometime your partner’s needs will come before your own.

It can’t be a battle. It’s not fair or healthy to keep track of who’s done more for whom. Love at its core is caring more for that other person’s well being than your own.

The hope is that when two people can do this in balance the relationship is the true beneficiary. After all if you’re having fun with your partner, doesn’t that matter most?

4. Communicating

There are many relationships that don’t survive because people haven’t learned to really communicate. This is the most common way to break down.

The first part of communication is usually not what people expect. Before even looking outward, look inward! Take a moment before you speak and really try and understand what ii is you want the other person to know.

Put everything on the line, you’re mistakes, and fears, as a mantra I think its fair to say that you’re unabridged honesty should do no harm. The other conditions of a good relationship, like forgiveness and trust will deal with the problems once there out there but no one can deal with them until they have been said.

Make time for sharing with your partner each day. Don’t let weeks go by where nothing is said, just have no  motive, simply that you want to communicate honestly.

5. Planning your time.

The best part of being in healthy relationship is making plans for your time both today and on down the road.

There’s so much innocent fun flirtation in making little plans for dates or for the weekend. Don’t hide from it. Enjoy it!

It’s better still to make some plans for the summer or further off. Talking about these dreams can be a great way to get to better know your partner, and will make today’s work more bearable.

The truth is; there are things you can do to make your relationship better. It will always be a work in progress towards not only your partners health, but your own.

You’ve stepped off on this adventure of life together, bounding over problems and joys with hands held tightly hoping you make it to the other side intact. These five things will help you get there.

How to Read Romantic Body Language

Being able to read body language can give your clues as to whether someone has a romantic interest in you or not.  By accurately reading their body language you will be able to determine whether or not the other person is feeling comfortable around you and eager to get to know you better.  Understanding body language is also significant because it can ensure that you are not unintentionally sending the wrong messages out to other people.  Body language can often be both subtle and subconscious but if you are aware of your body language you can make a conscious effort to make sure that you are sending an accurate message to others with your own body language.  The art of reading body language really isn’t difficult and once you are familiar with a few guidelines you will come to realize that understanding body language is very intuitive.  Correctly reading body language will ensure that you don’t miss out on approaching potential partners who are sending you signs that they are interested in pursuing a romance with you.

How close a person stands to you can be one of the most important body language clues to whether someone is interested in you romantically or not.  Their proximity to you can be directly proportional to their romantic interest in you. In other words the closer they stand to you the more interested they are in you romantically and the farther they stand away from you the less interested they are in pursuing a romance with you.  In general the two foot rule applies.  This means that if a person does not get closer than two feet to you, they aren’t interested in a romance with you.  This distance is significant because a length of two feet is approximately an arms length and standing this far from you makes the other person feel safe that you will not reach out and physically touch them.  This subtle use of body language to avoid closeness with you is a clear sign of a lack of romantic interest.  Conversely, if the person stands closer to you and within arms reach they are not apprehensive about being touched by you and are sending you a signal that they are interested in you.  The intimacy of standing close to someone is a clear body language indication that you have a romantic interest in that person.

Body Language

Another body language clue that someone is interested in you is that they begin to copy your own body language.  This often happens subconsciously but if you notice someone mimicking your behaviors it is a clear sign that they are interested in you.  This mimicking behavior can begin almost immediately and is very easy to read or pick up on.  If you notice this behavior, you may initially feel upset as though the other person is mocking you by copying you but this is not the case.  In fact the behavior should be flattering because it is an indication that the other person admires you and is trying to become more like you in subtle ways.  More often than not the other person isn’t even aware of what they are doing but there is a natural instinct to try to imitate those that we admire to draw ourselves closer to them.  Mimicking is pretty easy to notice and it is also a clear body language indication of romantic interest.

Body positioning can also be a form of body language that can either convey romantic interest or disinterest.  When speaking to someone, if their body and particularly their torso is turned towards you and leaning closer to you this is an indication of romantic interest.  This body positioning leaves you unguarded and vulnerable which indicates trust in the other person.  If this trust were not in existence you would not put yourself in such a vulnerable position and would be more likely to stand with your body turned slightly away from the other person and leaning away from them.  Standing in a way that positions your body in an open position towards another person is a clear example of body language that expresses a romantic interest.

Your eyes often send body language messages to those around you letting them know whether or not you are interested in them. When you have a romantic interest in someone you make eye contact and also blink often.  Both of these signals let the other person know that you are attracted to them by conveying the message that you are interested in what they have to say.  Avoiding eye contact lets a person know that you are not comfortable with them and that you do not have a romantic interest in them.  If you are uncomfortable looking someone directly in the eye and avoid eye contact, you are trying to send the message that you are not interested in further contact with them.  It’s often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul and this may be true as your eyes can certainly send quite a message.

Although body language is often subtle and subconscious it can also send a clear message regarding romantic interest.  Perhaps the fact that body language is subconscious is what also makes it such an accurate indication or romantic language.  Since body language is done without thought it allows the person to send messages that they would be uncomfortable conveying verbally.
