Sharing Your Personality in Cute Ways on Dates

March 1, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Dates are meant to be fun, flirty, and oh so delicious! I love going on dates. I feel it’s an opportunity for my sensuality and femininity to come out.

Share Your Personality in Cute Ways on A Date

Share Your Personality in Cute Ways on A Date

Another important byproduct of going on dates? Hint: It has to do with yourself!

Going on dates is like a getting a glimpse or snapshot into your and his personalities. It’s the perfect way to share your personality and life.

Express Through Stories

A great way to reveal your personality in a cute way is through stories. You can tell a story about yourself. It can be funny, goofy, or emotional.

For example: I tell a story about how I klutzy I am. I tell a date about the time I fell down the stairs in college. This tells him that I don’t take myself too seriously and am light-hearted. That I feel comfortable with myself. That I have a goofy, dorky side.

Be Witty and Flirty

Another cute way to reveal parts of your personality is to be witty and create that tug and pull game of tension. It’s a great way to flirt and go back and forth.

I once told a date this: “Did I mention I like guys with scruffy beards?” It made him smile and kind of blush at the same time πŸ™‚

Ask Him Questions

Ask your date some questions that get him to open up. Ask him: What is the greatest moment of your life? Depending on how he answers that question, you can learn a lot about his emotional motivation and personality.

3 Ways A 20-Something Can NOT Play Games in Dating and Relationships

February 25, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Many women believe you have to play games to get a guy hooked and interested. Maybe some mind games and mental stimulation can be fun! But it’s important to overall not play games in the dating stage.

Playing Games in Dating

Playing Games in Dating

I’ve learned from personal experience that there are some easy tips you can follow to move out of playing games and getting more real. Ultimately, dating and relationships require a genuine, authentic connection which means being real.

Be ACTUALLY Busy. Don’t Fake It

Ladies, when you first start dating someone and actually like him, you will feel butterflies in your stomach. You’ll want to call and text him all the time.

Then, you’ll notice he’ll start to back away. At this point, you may either get into overdrive and contact him more. Or you’ll play hard to get and minimize your contact.

I believe it is important to take a step back and not contact him as much. But the vital point here is to not fake being busy, but to ACTUALLY make yourself busy. Make it authentic and create a life that you love with or without him.

Be Honest About How You Are Feeling

It doesn’t matter what stage you are in the dating or relationship stage. Take the time to tell him how you feel. Express your feelings. Don’t push your feelings away. If you feel nervous and scared about something, then tell him.

Don’t psyche yourself out of doing this by worrying about his reaction. If anything, it will help you better judge how well suited he is for you in your life.

Just Be Yourself

Lastly, just be who you are. You are beautiful and lovable exactly the way you are. Drop your walls and become vulnerable. This is how an authentic connection is formed between two humans, be it friendship or romantic relationships.

6 Easy Tips On How the 20-Something Can Keep Their Sanity In the Dating Process

February 23, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Have you just jumped onto the dating bandwagon? Finding it challenging?Β  Getting frustrated? The dating jungle can be fun and exciting, but also nerve wracking. I want to share six easy tips on how you can keep your sanity in the dating process.

Keeping Your Sanity during the Dating Process

Keeping Your Sanity during the Dating Process

Here they are!

Let Him Chase You

When you’re talking to a guy, let him chase you and take most of the initiative. He should be the one asking you out for coffee or dinner. You are the prize, so he better be on top of his game.

Don’t Be Scared to Initiate Contact Sometimes

Having reinforced my previous point, I also believe sometimes you can also take the initiative. I believe that the first date must be initiated by the man. However, a man will love it if you also ask him out on subsequent dates.

Date More Than One Man

To keep your sanity and not put all your focus on one man until exclusivity hasn’t been discussed, see more than one man. Weigh your options until that loving, worthy man doesn’t lock you down and want to have an exclusive relationship with you.

Continue Having Your Normal Life

Remember to keep doing the things you were doing before you started dating. Taking a salsa class? Going to Meet Up groups? Well, keep doing that! Your life doesn’t change just because you started dating him. It will cause you to be upbeat and confident and not put everything on one man.

There Are Great, Quality Men Everywhere

If a guy doesn’t show much excitement anymore and the chemistry is fading, then move on. There are wonderful, quality men everywhere. You can get to know one of them…

Trust Your Gut Feeling

No matter what I say and all the dating advice you find in books and online, nothing will compensate for your intuition. Do what you feel is best and trust your gut feeling.

Letting the Man Step Up and Giving Him the Space To Do So

February 20, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

How many times in dating and relationships did you want the guy to call you? Did you want your boyfriend to move your relationship to the next level? Sigh. Take a deep breathe, ladies.

Let the Man Step Up

Let the Man Step Up

Been There, Done That

I’ve been there, ladies. I know EXACTLY where you’re coming from. Often, I wanted a guy to take the initiative and call me. Or I wanted him to take our relationship to the next level.

And then I tried hard. I pushed hard. I tried to be kind. I tried to be understanding. I really wanted things to work with him.

You Can’t Force A Man to Do Something…

The truth is you cannot force a man to do anything. You can’t sweetly manipulate him to do things. And even if you do manage to “manipulate” him to do something, do you really want to get your way through this?

You want a man to make a decision to call you, love you, and take your relationship to the next level out of a loving place. You want him to do it from his own heart. You want him to feel happy doing these things, not feeling pushed or compelled to do so.

Give Him the Space to Step Up

I believe the single most important thing you can do to let a man rise up to the occasion is to give him the space. When you try to push and take action, you’re not letting him become the man he needs to be.

I’ll give you a simple example. You want him to call you in the initial dating phase. Don’t call him. I don’t mean you shouldn’t take initiative. Do call once or twice. But if he doesn’t take initiative himself, then don’t go crazy and act out of fear.

Don’t keep calling him. Stop. Breathe. Live your life. Let him call you. Give him the space. This applies to anything in any stage during your relationship.

What if he still doesn’t step up? I have only one question for you: Why would you want to be with such a man? You are a beautiful and loving woman who deserves a wonderful man who steps up for you.

When My Best Friend Walked and Guided Me Through A Challenging Moment

February 20, 2015 by Priyanka 3 Comments

I try to be as honest as possible with you. Why? Because I want you to share the experiences I am going through and be able to connect and feel you are not alone. I want you to know that I am human and despite the inner work, I find myself in vulnerable moments.

Have a Friend's Support and Guidance

Have a Friend’s Support and Guidance

So What Happened With Me You May Be Wondering?!

I take a deep breathe. So here goes! I was seeing someone and became close to him. I don’t know him very well and things moved fast considering the stage we are in at this point.

A week later, I hadn’t still heard from him despite what had had happened. I can’t speak for him, but for me, it was huge. I had just come out of something intense and well, it ‘s been quite a journey keeping my fragile heart open.

I’m Not Great At Communicating…I Bottle Up My Feelings

So when I hadn’t heard from him for a week. I became fidgety. I was filled with nervousness, fears, and doubts. I couldn’t believe it. I had many great things going on in my life. Just for a freaking phone call, I was putting myself through this!

I became angry at myself. How could I do this to myself? I didn’t go to the gym, eat properly, or focus at work. It sounds like I was making a big deal out of something unnecessarily.

I Became Super Honest With Myself

But no matter how much I become angry or beat myself up for making a big deal out of something seemingly small, the truth is that in my inner world this was affecting me hugely.

I had to sit myself down and breathe in and out. I focused on my breathe. It calmed me down a bit, but I have to admit I still felt antsy. My hands were shaking. I closed my eyes and focused on the frantic energy in my chest and throat.

My Friend Walked Me Through to Communicating With Him

After I realized that he not contacting me was bugging me tremendously, I realized I needed to talk to a friend. I needed someone’s support. The old me would have wallowed in my puddle of emotions. But it’s something I realize now. I must turn to others for support.

I spoke to her and told her my feelings. I told her that him not contacting me brought up all my old wounds from previous romantic communication and exchanges with other guys. So when he did it, it pushed buttons in me. I started panicking.

She told me I had to deal with my feelings and communicate it to him, instead of assuming things and jumping to conclusions. I had to talk it out with him and express how I felt.

I Spoke to Him…

Although I had initially decided stubbornly that I was not going to contact him, I realized my best friend was right. This was not a game about who would call each other first. So I called him and told him how I felt. I told him this was my side of the story. He told me he understood and said he didn’t mean to come across that way. He told me his side of the story.

And then we decided to catch a movie the next day. Things became wrapped up beautifully. But I learned a deeper lesson. That instead of bottling up feelings, I should give myself the freedom and safe space to communicate them freely and openly to myself and others. Even if he didn’t respond in a positive way, I shouldn’t be afraid of doing this.
