What is grinding really?

How to grind with a guy and arouse him

If you want to know how to grind with a guy, arouse him, and still feel good about yourself, here are 10 tips that can make all the difference between a hard to get girl and an easy to get girl.

#1 Get a girlfriend to dance with you. Dancing alone makes the whole grinding game rather obvious. To start off, dance with your girlfriend and make it seem like you’re not really noticing any guy. Soon enough, you’ll have a few cute guys dancing around waiting for your attention. [Read: How to get any guy's attention no matter where you are]

#2 Dance next to the guy you like. But don’t even bother looking at him just yet. Watch him from the corner of your eye and see if he’s been noticing you. Or if you want to grind with some guy who hasn’t noticed you yet, just move along on the dance floor until you’re close to him.

#3 Brushing time. Dance normally as you always do, but move really close to a guy you like and brush him with your butt *accidentally*. Don’t try to get his attention just yet and don’t make it seem like you’re desperate to dance with him by looking at him. Wait for him to do something or reciprocate. Right now, just make it seem like you’re dancing with your friend. But don’t stop the occasional butt brushing, let him feel your touch and want more of it.

#4 Touch him with your breasts. Grinding is the easy part. The tough part is to make it all seem discreet. As you’re dancing with your friend, move your shoulders around so your breast touches his arm now and them. Does he notice your accidental touch? Does he smile or does he move closer to you? If he notices it and tries to get your attention, flash a small cute smile back at him and let him know that you’ve noticed him. But don’t do it too obviously, and avoid letting him know that your touches were intentional. [Read: 25 tips to look really cute in front of a guy]

#5 Drop your hands. Keep your hands by your sides as you’re dancing and let it hover near his butt and legs. He’d obviously start moving about a lot more just to get more of your touches. Always keep your body or hands really close to a guy, but avoid making the first touch if you want to make him work for your attention.

#6 Dance by his side. Move along the dance floor so you’re dancing by his side. You don’t need to stand in front him to grind him just yet. Just build the sexual tension up by letting your hands and hips touch each other often. But as always, don’t give him too much attention just yet. Just have fun with your own friend who’s dancing with you. [Read: Why guys like a good chase]

#7 Let the fingers touch. Let your fingers touch his fingers as both of you dance beside each other. And when your fingers do touch his, don’t move them away but don’t do anything about it either. It’ll drive him crazy and all he’d want to do is clasp it. He may even try that!

#8 Step in front of him. Once you’ve had a lot of body touches going on and he’s constantly trying to look for ways to touch you, it’s time to get to the part where you grind with him. By teasing him long enough, you would be able to arouse him and make him work for your attention instead of being too easy to get which is always a good thing. It’ll make him want you more too!

Step in front of him and move your pelvis around so your butt is constantly touching his thigh. This will be his cue to come close behind you. If he’s shy, a few *accidental* touches on his crotch with your butt while dancing will definitely do the trick. [Read: How to talk to a guy and make him like you instantly]

#9 Move your butt around. Once he’s right behind you, get really close to him and press your butt gently against his crotch. Sway around and dance like you always do, but pay more attention to swaying your hips around so you can feel his pants tighten behind you.

#10 Drop your hands to the side. If the guy isn’t placing his hands on your hips already, drop your hands down or run it down your hips now and then as you sway your hips. Even better if you can get your hands to drop down and touch his fingers often. You’ll arouse him so much that all he’ll want to do is hold your hips or your hands and come even closer while you move your butt all over his crotch. And really, that’s all there is to grinding and making it seem like the guy is doing all the work!

While a club may be the best place to grind with a guy, you can also discreetly grind with a guy at concerts or even in crowded queues. It’s easy and fun, if you’re in the right mood! [Read: How to make out with a guy like a sex goddess]

Grinding tips to arouse a guy

If you’re grinding with a guy and want to turn him on a lot more, all you need to do is use these three little tips to drive him wild.

#1 Stand in front of him as you’re dancing. Raise one hand and place it behind his neck while grinding with him.

#2 Slip your thumb into his jeans or just under his belt when he’s behind you. Guide his hand to hold you around your waist or just under your breasts.

#3 Graze your butt against his crotch until you feel him harden up. Turn around and get your pelvis as close to him as you comfortably want to. [Read: 6 tips to get a guy to kiss you when you want him to]

It’s easy to make a girl like you if you understand these 15 tips on how to text a girl you like and text her the right way at the right time. By Keith Brown

Ever wondered what you have to say to a girl to make her like you?

When it comes to impressing a girl, timing is everything.

Unlike guys, girls rely a lot on emotions and feelings to fall for a guy.

Guys fall for a girl at first glance as long as they find her attractive.

But for a girl to like a guy, her feelings definitely play a bigger part than her eyes.

[Read: How to make a girl like you without asking her out]

Sometimes, it’s easier to text a girl and get her to fall for you rather than wooing her on dates and impressing her with gifts.

As long as you create the perfect balance of emotional connection and infatuation, you can make any girl like you back with just a few well timed texts over a few days.

How to text a girl you like

If you want to learn the right way to text a girl, just use these 15 tips on how to text a girl you like and you’ll see how easy it really can be.

But remember to take your time and make your move only after watching her reciprocation.

#1 Night time is the best time to text a girl. If the girl you like is comfortable with texting late into the night, you’ve already got the edge you need. Start by texting her late in the evening and look for ways to keep the conversation going when she slips into her bed. There’s something so sexy and romantic about a quiet night that’ll only work in your favor. [Read: How to flirt with a girl by behaving like a friend]

#2 The right time to text a girl. Avoid texting her or calling her up when you know she’s occupied or busy with her friends. She needs to feel excited to read your text, not get bugged because you’re constantly interfering with her happy time.

#3 Pick a time to text her. Don’t text a girl you like all day long. If you know her routine, text her only when you know she’s free to text you back. Within a couple of days of texting her, you’d see that she’s warmer and indulges in longer text conversations at particular times of the day.

Once you figure the happy time to text this girl, text her every day during the same time. It’ll make her expect your texts and her anticipation for your texts everyday will make her like you more.

#4 First text tip. If you want to know how to text a girl for the first time, don’t think too much of it. Just keep it casual and simple. “Hey! Just thought I’d say hi!” is simple and just one of several ways to initiate a first text with a girl you like.

There’s never a wrong way to text a girl. It’s what you do after the first text that always matters. [Read: What do girls look for in a guy to fall for him?]

#5 Always start with a very short text. If you’ve been texting each other back and forth for a few days, you really don’t need to look for reasons to text her again, nor do you need long elaborate introductions.

Start with a warm and simple line that feels good to read. It leaves the conversation open and you’ll be able to know if she’s free to chat too. “Hi”, “Hey, what are you doing?” or even just a smiley face should work perfectly to start a conversation and bring a smile on her face. If she’s busy, she’ll tell you or respond when she has the time. There’s no way you can go wrong with that.

#6 Keep it short and simple. Try to keep the texts short if you want to keep the conversation going. Your focus is to get her to keep all her attention on you when she’s texting. And to do that, you need to keep the beeping texts going back and forth as soon as you can. Long texts can leave her bored when she’s waiting for you to respond. Or worse, she may occupy herself with the television or do something else that’ll leave her distracted while waiting for your text.

#7 Be interested in her and her daily life. Ask her about her day. Be interested in her life and let her know that you’re always interested in knowing more about her while texting each other. It’ll help her open up.

#8 Give her a pet name. Pet names are very personal and unique. If you want the relationship to take the next step, you need to create a personal bond between both of you. And the best way to do just that is by giving her a pet name. Personalize the relationship both of you share and it’ll bring both of you closer. [Read: How to choose a perfect and unique nickname]

#9 Don’t flirt all the time. Even if she knows you like her already, avoid flirting with her on every single instance. It’ll just bore her if all you do is flirt with her. Text about everyday activities and let her see that you’re interested in knowing more about her and her life.

#10 But flirt when you get the opportunity. Every now and then, you’d find the perfect opportunity to flirt with her. Wait for that moment and use it to tease her or pull her leg, especially when she makes a compliment about herself or talks about how good she is at doing something. A good excuse to challenge and flirt with her will always work in your favor.

#11 Get naughty now and then. But always be vague unless you already know what she wants to hear. You can play it safe or get naughty depending on the way she texts back.

You: “I wish I was with you right now”

She: “Yeah? Why?”

You: “For a lot of reasons I can’t say right now / You did say you’re in bed, right?”

#12 Use emoticons. Unless the girl you’re texting specifically says she hates emoticons, make sure you leave a few kisses and a smile when you’re texting her goodbye. Even if she makes a big deal of it, you can always joke about it and say it was a goodbye kiss on her cheek! [Read: How to make a girl want to kiss you by arousing her]

#13 Get dirty when you can. Border on dirty texts with her now and then, and watch how she responds. If she texts you and asks you what you’re doing, tell her that you were up to something naughty. Make her think of you in the nude or give her occasions to talk naughty. A good way to initiate a naughty conversation is by telling her that you just stepped out of the shower, or by telling her that you’re trying out a few new clothes you picked up last week at the mall. [Read: 20 dirty questions to text a girl and make her wet]

#14 Create personal memories. Always look for ways to create a bond between the both of you. Tell her about your favorite song, movie or place you like. Each time she comes across something you’ve talked about, give her a reason to think of you.

#15 Get mushy before saying goodbye. Compliment her appearance, her personality or say anything that makes her feel warm and fuzzy inside. But focus on these texts a few minutes before both of you say goodbye. If you want her to fall for you, she has to get sexually excited by you and then has to feel romantically attached to you. That’s the way love and infatuation works. [Read: Tips to subtly touch a girl and turn her on]

By flirting with her, you’d be able to arouse her. And by talking about how special she is or by complimenting her for her personality at the end of your texting conversation, you can make her feel romantic. It’s the perfect balance to make a girl like you while texting her. [Read: How to compliment a girl the right way]

Keep these 15 tips on how to text a girl you like in your mind while texting her. And you’ll see how easy it can be to woo a girl through a few late night texts and well timed lines.

Ever caught someone’s eye when you’re out at a café or somewhere else? Find out how to look good while trying to get attention with these 10 tips. By Francesca Marie

Almost all the time, we come across someone that we like.

It could be in a restaurant, a café, at a conference or even in college.

But as much as catching someone’s eye matters, a lot depends on what you do next too.

Have you ever caught someone’s eye only to see that they’ve lost interest in you after a while?

That cutie from across the table may have been trying to catch your attention, but all of a sudden, they may not care anymore.

Ever wondered what went wrong?

How to look good with trying to get someone’s attention

The first exchange of glances may stir a lot of emotions, but to keep someone’s interest in you piqued, you need to look good and rouse their interest in you all along the way.

Here are 10 tips on how to look good while catching someone’s eye for the first time.

#1 Appear like you have a life. Appear busy or seem occupied. You may have caught someone’s fancy, but don’t ever make it seem like you have nothing better to do than stare at that person. By staring constantly without taking a breather, you’d either appear like a loser or creep this person out in no time.

#2 Get the right eye contact going. Eye contact is everything. It’s the first step to all good things, especially in love and relationships. If you want to look good in someone else’s eyes, you need to learn the art of flirting with your eyes. Sneak a glance now and then, and always make the other person want more. [Read: 10 subtle eye contact flirting tips]

#3 Don’t be by yourself unless you have no choice. It’s easier to look good when you’re in a big group. It’s easier to get attention. It’s easier to appear busy. And it’s definitely easier to seem like you’re the center of attention.

You may assume it’s easier to get attention by sitting away from your group, but in reality, sitting with a few friends always brings more attention, especially from the opposite sex. But if you’re out with a few friends who make you look bad, well, you’d be better off sitting by yourself. [Read: When should you end a friendship?]

#4 Show off your best assets. Do you think you have great legs or perfect shoulders? Show it off? Sit in a manner that would accentuate your best assets to this person. Of course, you do have to be discreet about it though. [Read: 20 things that turn a guy on when he sees a girl]

#5 Blush or look embarrassed when your eyes meet. No matter how obvious the staring game and the stolen glances may be, show your awkwardness when your eyes meet. The air of nervousness always makes romance so much more beautiful and sweet.

#6 Get your friends involved. This is an easy way to make things more awkward between both of you. Let your friends stare at this person and nudge you now and then or make a big deal about the flirty game. By doing that, the whole staring game would become more obvious and impossible to overlook by either of you.

In several cases, stolen glances just die out within a few minutes when the novelty wears off. But by involving your friends, you can keep the game going on for a lot longer.

#7 Good posture. Always sit upright or stand tall with a good posture when you’re trying to get attention. It makes you look good. If you’re a girl, a coy posture can work wonders. If you’re a guy, a dominant posture will always work in your favor. [Read: 10 tips to be more graceful and elegant]

#8 Feel sexy about yourself. Unless you love yourself and find yourself attractive, no one else in the whole world will ever find you attractive. Be confident and feel good about yourself. If you catch someone staring at you, stare back at them and feel good about yourself. The fact that someone cute is trying to catch your attention instead of anyone else in the room does mean something, don’t you think? [Read: Easy ways to increase your sex appeal]

#9 Don’t appear nervous or fidgety. No one likes nervous nelly. A fidgety person puts anyone off. Sit back comfortably and just have fun with the stolen glances. You really don’t have to do anything about it if you’re not ready to take the next step yet. You can play with things around you to pretend like you’re bored, but don’t reveal your nervousness for anyone to see. [Read: 10 biggest dating turn offs]

#10 Create opportunities for each other. If both of you have been exchanging glances with each other, don’t let it go in vain by chickening out before interacting with each other. There’s not much a guy can do here other than make a move and talk to the girl. [Read: Do girls like shy guys who don't make the first move?]

But if you’re the girl, give the guy an opportunity to talk to you by excusing yourself from your friends when you think he’s ready to talk to you. Walk past him and discreetly smile at him as you step out or go to the ladies room. It’ll be his cue to get up and talk to you. [Read: How to flirt with a guy without really flirting]

Eye contact may be the first of many good things. But you still need to get these 10 tips on how to look good right if you want to get someone’s attention and make them like you at first sight.

Do you want to change your life to attract someone, have a better life, make more money or are you just sick of being a nobody? It doesn’t really matter what you want as long as you know how to use these little steps towards a better you and a better life.

#1 Take chances. Every day, life offers all of us a lot of chances and second chances. But are you keeping your eyes open to find those opportunities? Are you doing anything about it? Almost all the big entrepreneurs and accomplished men and women, well, they didn’t plan for success. It just happened because they seized their chances when they caught sight of it. Have a spongy open mind and always be willing to change for the better. [Read: How to be successful in life]

#2 A role model. A role model isn’t an absolute necessity. But for many of us, we want someone to guide us and help us think the way we should and it’s always easy to learn through someone else’s accomplishments and failures. Read books and autobiographies. Instead of learning from your failed experiences all the time, learn through someone else’s experiences and save yourself the fall. A role model can also help make your decisions for you when you’re confused. [Read: How to use a role model to get someone you like]

#3 Be positive. Believe in yourself and your dream. Don’t let naysayers or failures come in your way of achieving what you want. If you’re prepared to achieve your dream, you definitely will achieve it as long as you’re positive that you’ll achieve it.

#4 Love yourself. Do you really love yourself? Are you proud of who you are? If you don’t love yourself, can you really believe in yourself and your dreams? Be confident of your abilities, and always strive towards perfection even if others around you are happy with mediocrity. If you want to achieve your dreams, you really have to fall in love with yourself and believe that you truly are better than everyone else around you. [Read: How to love yourself]

#5 Follow your heart. If you want to understand the real secret behind knowing how to change your life, you have to listen to your heart. Be passionate in everything you do, and don’t leave anything halfway unless you know there’s a better way to do the same thing. It’s easy for people to say something can’t be done. In the end, it’s always the achiever who has the last laugh.

#6 Meet and interact with people. Don’t isolate yourself. When you’re trying to change your life, you have to surround yourself with the people who share similar dreams or who have achieved what you wish to achieve. Learn to think like an achiever and behave like one.

When you isolate yourself in your pursuit of your dreams, you may lose out on better opportunities that are waiting just around the corner. Meet people and share your ideas, help can come your way. Sometimes, making new acquaintances can also lead to mutual back scratching opportunities. [Read: How to network at a party and look good doing it]

#7 Be determined. Always stay motivated, either by sticking a post-it on your mirror or by constantly thinking of your objective. Determination is the drive that can see you through the darkest hours of your life.

#8 Be ready to take a step back. Some of us are lucky enough to see success at the very first try. For everyone else, there are bound to be failures along the way. Really, it’s alright to fail. Failures teach you valuable lessons, as long as you’re willing to learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistakes. After all, at times you have to take one step back to jump four steps ahead!

#9 Look at obstacles one step at a time. When you want something badly, be it a new opportunity to earn money or a way to impress someone you like, it’s natural for your mind to be buzzing with ideas and obstacles. While it’s good to see both sides, don’t be overwhelmed by too many thoughts. It’ll only leave you stressed. And at the end of the day, you wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of things to do and focus on one thought at a time. It’ll help you focus better, and see better results. [Read: The real reason behind why your friends are drifting away from you]

#10 Don’t overburden yourself with too much work. Yes, you may be a one man or one woman army. You may have the skills to do everything too. But at some point, you have to learn to delegate or prioritize your work. If there’s something you do that can be done by someone else or by using something, step away from that chore. Your mind and thoughts can be a lot more valuable doing something no one else can do better than you.

#11 Balance your life. In your pursuit of better thing or a better life, it’s easy to forget everything else but your dream. While this may seem like a good thing initially, it’ll drain you out and leave your tired and directionless after a while. Always spare a few hours every day for recreation and you-time. It’ll help you become more efficient and motivated during your work hours without losing out on your regular life. [Read: Tips to be happy in life]

#12 Always have a long term plan and a short term plan. If you want to change your life, you need to think one little step at a time. But at the same time, you should never forget the big picture. Always start with the big picture. Ask yourself what you really want to achieve and be brutally frank to yourself. And once you have the big picture in mind, make a list of thing you need to change about yourself that can lead to the big picture. And you’ll definitely get there, a lot sooner than you think.

The fear of falling out of love

It’s really hard to call a relationship off or break up with someone you love because of the five fears that haunt you. But if you want a happy future, you have to learn to overcome these five fears of falling out of love.

#1 It’s painful. You’re deeply in love. And breakups hurt a lot. Your partner may not love you as much as you love them, and that scares you more. What if you call the relationship off and your partner’s completely fine with the idea? [Read: The reason behind why love hurts so bad]

#2 It’s hard to recover. When you truly love someone, you definitely need time and help to get over it. You find it easier to stay in a relationship that hurts you a little everyday instead of ending it and ripping your heart out in the open in a flash.

#3 You could get jealous. Face it, if your partner’s not that into you, they may even date someone else or move on without the slightest sign of sadness. Can you deal with that? [Read: Are you jealous of your ex?]

#4 You may even regret your decision. You know you did the right thing, but somewhere deep inside, you may hope your partner could change and start loving you better.

#5 There’s a big chance of falling back in love. There’s nothing worse than a relationship that takes you back and forth in love. Avoid it if you can. [Read: Circumstances when you can date an ex]

How to fall out of love one step at a time

If you’re convinced that you’re in a bad relationship, you need to make up your mind and walk out for good. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely doable with these 10 tips.

#1 Focus on why you see no future. Give yourself valid reasons and be truthful to yourself. Sugarcoating your problems will only make you weak. [Read: Ways to deal with a complicated relationship]

#2 Accept it. You can’t persuade your bad lover to become a better lover, so why are you staying back and hoping for a miracle when you already know the right thing that has to be done?

#3 Don’t let your bad lover affect you emotionally. Focus on having a good time no matter who you’re with or without. You have a right to be happy in your own life regardless of who’s around, don’t you think?

#4 Face reality. Yes, falling out of love may be hard at first. But with a few distractions, falling out of love can be easier than you think. [Read: Why a rebound relationship may be the best way to heal a heartbreak]

#5 Allow your mind to stray and think about other attractive members of the opposite sex. Appreciating other cuties mentally is the easiest and fastest way to let your mind know that there are other better fish in the sea.

#6 Get infatuated by someone else. You don’t need to date them. But get a crush on someone else and spend most of your time thinking about those little moments you may have shared with this new person.

#7 Don’t make it hard on yourself. Stop pining about someone who will never ever love you back as much as you love them. Make a conscious effort to move on instead of feeling sickly satisfied by the misery you experience. [Read: Are you experiencing unrequited love?]

#8 You can’t forget your lover. Don’t try to. Instead learn to deal with it. Learn to accept the fact that both of you are not meant to be. Try to find someone else who can take your lover’s place in your heart if you want to get over them soon.

#9 Learn to live without your partner. If you’re still in a relationship and want to know how to fall out of love with your inconsiderate partner, then you must first learn to live without them. Go out with your own friends or meet someone you like over lunch while you’re still in a relationship. You’ll soon see that your life can be filled with happiness even if your partner won’t be around you anymore.

#10 End the relationship when you feel strong enough to take the plunge. Brace yourself and convince yourself of the fact that your world doesn’t revolve around your partner anymore. You’re ready to go out alone and experience all the happiness the world has to offer to you. End the relationship with your lover, walk out and don’t look back.

Being friends with benefits with someone can seem like a dream come true.

You can’t have the cake and eat it too.

But if that’s exactly what you want to do, here are some things you need to keep in mind.

Friends with benefits rules that make a difference

Met a cute hottie who seems equally interested in your appearance or your bedroom manners?

Well, here are a few things you need to get into your head before getting into each other.

[Read: 6 ways to accidentally kiss a friend and get away with it]

#1 Don’t fall in love. This is the biggest rule and the easiest one to remember. Don’t fall in love. But then again, this is also the hardest one to follow.

#2 Have emotional maturity. Understand what kind of a relationship you’re getting into right from the start. There isn’t supposed to be a happy ending. Be satisfied with a satisfying ending.

#3 Set ground rules. How often should both of you call each other and how often should you meet? These rules aren’t set in stone, but both of you must make a conscious effort to follow it.

#4 Don’t get clingy for attention. Your friend with benefits isn’t your lover. Don’t constantly call them or try to make a conversation when you have nothing better to do. [Read: Signs of a clingy lover and tips to avoid it]

#5 Keep it a secret. Don’t talk to your friends about it. Gossip has a funny way of spreading within minutes after you tell a friend about it. You’ll end up pissing your friend with benefits or getting a bad reputation.

#6 Don’t sleep with two friends from the same group. It’s too risky and you may get caught, especially if both of them are trying to exchange sly smiles and sneaky glances with you, or worse, trying to reach out to your crotch from under the table at the same time.

#7 Don’t be overenthusiastic. Yes, you get to have a no strings relationship with someone. Yeah, good for you! But keep that libido and  enthusiasm down or you’ll end up getting bored or scaring your screw buddy away.

#8 Don’t go on a date. You may be intimate with each other, but that’s no excuse to see each other in any place other than a bed. You’ll ruin the relationship.

#9 Distract yourself. Get interested in someone else as soon as you start having sex with your friend with benefits. It’ll take the option of falling for them out as long as you’re infatuated by someone else.

#10 Don’t stay in touch too often. Don’t try to find out about their personal life or have conversations about life and its problems. You’re into each other for sex and you really should avoid involving anything else. Call for one reason and one reason alone.

#11 Avoid sleeping with a good friend. As sexually attracted as you may be, avoid having sex with a good friend that’s good looking. You will lose that friend or both of you will hate each other within a few months.

#12 Remember how it ends. Both of you will almost always stray apart. Or end up having an affair when one of you is in another relationship and that can get really messy. Pick the first option. [Read: Conversation tips to end a relationship]

#13 Avoid anyone who’s seeing someone else. It may sound sexy and wicked and even give you an ego boost, but you’ll get caught or one of you will have to deal with a heavy bag of guilt that will ultimately be shared in the open.

#14 Mentally date someone else. Don’t talk about your personal lives with each other. But convince yourselves that the other person is actually dating someone else. It’ll help avoid falling for each other.

#15 Be honest. If you’re falling in love with your friend with benefits or feel like things are slipping out of hand, you owe it to your friend to at least let them know the truth so both of you can decide the course of the relationship. [Read: Signs you’re more than friends]

Things that can happen in a friends with benefits relationship

As fun as a perfect friends with benefits relationship could be to begin with, it does have a few bad sides too. I’d like to tell you that you can avoid any dark corners, but at some point of time, the bubble always has to burst.

#16 You can’t fall in love. You lose the chance of falling in love with someone who may be perfect for you. You may take a while to realize it, but even if you think your sex friend is the most charming person in the whole world, you really can’t do anything about it because it’s too late to retrace your steps.

#17 You may lose a great friend. If one of you have been hasty or made a few wrong decisions, both of you can’t do anything but walk away forever. Can you handle that?

#18 You could end up jealous or unhappy. As much as you may try to pretend like you don’t care, you may be upset if your friend dates someone else. And all this even though you know the ground rules.

#19 There may be a disease involved. No one likes talking about this part. But it’s something to be wary about, especially if your friend has a lot of active friends with benefits. And of course, you’re not going to talk about it because *you don’t care*, right?

#20 Romantic feelings will find a way. Romance always finds a way to crop up for one of you if the relationship lasts more than a few months. And trust me, both of you aren’t going to like where that road goes. [Read: Are you falling for a friend?]

Things to remember to prolong the relationship safely

#21 Are you slipping? If one of you find yourselves slipping or falling for the other person, end it at the first doubt. You really have no choice. Almost all the time, love is not an option. [Read: Signs to find out if you're in love or lust]

#22 Poke into the details. You may not like it, but get to know about your friend with benefit’s sexual partners at least by numbers instead of names so you know how active they are. Get a medical checkup now and then too, if there’s some suspicion in the air. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

#23 All good things come to an end. Firstly, a friends with benefits relationship isn’t a good thing. It’s a dangerous excuse to avoid commitment. But yeah, it’s a lot of fun though! At the end of it all, as fancy as it sounds, a friends with benefits relationship is almost always too good to be true. [Read: Ways to deal with a complicated relationship]

#24 There will always be doubts in the air. Even if both of you mutually fall in love with each other, would you be happy in the long term? Trust me, I’ve been there. You’d always doubt your friend’s fidelity. If you could get your friend to have sex with you so easily, can’t they have sex with someone else even though both of you are in a relationship?

#25 The bad ending. If you end it, you may infuriate your friend who may even want revenge. Unless you end the relationship nicely, there’s really never going to be a happy ending, for you or for your reputation. [Read: Tips  to reject someone who likes you]

A friends with benefits relationship is always fun, as long as it lasts. Use these 25 friends with benefits rules to prolong the fun for as long as both of you safely can, and end it just before it’s too late.

#1 A lot of touching. Touching each other a lot in the middle of a conversation is a sure sign of flirting, especially if the touches are unnecessary. If your cute friend is finding excuses to touch you now and then, it’s a sure flirting sign. [Read: The art of flirting by touching]

#2 Entering into the personal zone. Does your new friend come really close to you now and then? If your friend tries to come really close to you to whisper something that doesn’t need to be hushed or if their hands reach out towards you often, it’s obvious they want to get close to you, fast!

#3 Show off the best side. In the animal kingdom, mating season always calls for exaggerated displays of feathers and strength. In the human world, mating and dating potentials try to show off their best sides. Girls raise their chest or try to get a guy’s attention to their attractive features, while guys try to charm a girl by talking to her or showing off his manliness. [Read: How to be a good date all the time]

#4 Their eyes sparkle. One of the biggest flirting signs you can notice in a flirty conversation is the widening of the eyes. When a friend of yours is getting attracted to you, their eyes would be wide open and expressive through the entire conversation.

#5 A lot of smiles and giggles. Do you find yourself or your cute friend laughing and giggling throughout the conversation for the silliest of reasons? If your date can’t help but continuously flash a big grin while talking to you, there’s definitely a flirty feeling in the air.

#6 Avoiding all external distractions quickly. If this guy or girl you’re talking to receives a call, do they excuse themselves for a while, or do they try to end the phone call immediately? Or if this person you’re talking to walks into a friend, do they try to end the conversation quickly? [Read: Easy tips to text flirt with someone you like]

Anyone who’s trying to get your attention and flirt with you would always try to end any distraction as quickly as they possibly can.

#7 They check you out. Does this person look you up and down or do their eyes wander over your body, especially when they think you’re not looking? Anyone who flirts with you would definitely want to take a good look at someone they’re sexually attracted to. [Read: What turns a girl on sexually about a guy?]

If you want the flirting to continue, make sure you give enough time for your cute friend to take a good, long look at you!

#8 A lot of blushing. Just like smiling and laughing, blushing is something that comes involuntarily in a flirty conversation. Does your friend’s face go pink when you compliment them? If it does, gosh, you’re making a huge impression on this person!

#9 Shows off the single tag. If someone’s trying to flirt with you in the hope of dating you, they’d try their best to let you know that they’re not dating anyone. They would want to make it clear to you that they’re single and looking for someone interesting to date.

#10 Veers the conversation to date plans. Does this fine new friend of yours try to constantly change the conversation to talk about your weekend plans or your favorite movies? If your friend wants to know if both of you have any hobbies or weekend habits in common, it’s a definite flirting sign. [Read: 5 perfect questions to test your compatibility]

#11 Compliments and exaggerated expressions. Does your date ever go “…really …aww …that’s so sweet” or anything along those lines for the smallest of your stories? When someone tries to flirt with you, they’d compliment you a lot constantly and they would definitely indulge in exaggerated displays of expressions.

#12 They get annoyed if they’re cut in. Does this friend you’re talking to get offended or do they behave rudely with another person if they cut in to join the conversation? If someone wants to flirt with you, they’d hate it if some other person joins the conversation or tries to get your attention.

#13 The guy acts dominant, the girl acts coy. If a guy or a girl tries to flirt with you, they would involuntarily start to emphasize their sexual traits. The guy would try to behave more manly or protective, while the girl would start to behave in a very sweet and coy manner.

If you feel like this friend talks to everyone else in a particular way and becomes very affectionate or protective around you, that’s a good flirting sign to watch out for.

#14 Completely focused on you. When you’re talking to this person who seems to like you, do they focus all their attention on you and no one else even if there are others around you? Does this friend try to look for excuses to touch your face or shoulder, or look for ways to tease you? [Read: Signs both of you are more than friends]

If this friend is completely attentive to you and your needs and nothing else, even if there are several others around, there’s definitely something brewing in the air.

#15 Exited to be with you. One of the biggest signs of flirting is the excitement in the air. If you bump into this person or lock eyes across the street, are they really excited to see you even if both of you aren’t really the best of friends?

If your friend tries to prolong the conversation or doesn’t want the conversation to end with you, it’s a definite flirting sign. After all, why would someone want to hold onto you unless they like you a lot and want to be with you?

Wondering how you can have sex during your period? Here’s a complete guide to having sex on your period and the tips you need to know to have a good bang. By Kayla Kissinger

Having sex on your period is a personal choice, but one that definitely comes with a few strong opinions.

In our eager sexual pursuit to try everything at least once, most of us do give this a thought even if we don’t bring thoughts to reality.

[Read: Top 50 kinky ideas in bed]

Unless you find the whole idea of having sex during your menstruation a huge turn off or a taboo subject based on religious or social grounds, understanding this basic guide to having sex on your period could open a whole new window of opportunity during those days of the month.

The good side of having sex on your period

Firstly, having sex on your period is almost never as messy as you think *if you’re okay with a spot or two on the sheets now and then*. There are a lot of benefits about having sex on your period too.

# Your period will end sooner than normal. During your period, involuntary muscle spasms along your uterine walls cause your blood to flow out over a few days. When you orgasm during sex, your orgasms create stronger muscle spasms that push your blood out faster within a day or two. If you’ve noticed this already, you should understand that your blood hasn’t vanished or gone back inside your body. It’s just come out quicker than normal.

# The reduction of cramping pain. Period cramps put a girl’s body under a lot of stress, leading to more pain and mood swings. When you have sex during your period, a good orgasm releases a lot of feel good hormones into your body which reduce the pain and make you feel better instantly.

# A few girls actually feel horny during their periods. Are you one of them? Ever felt really horny on the first day of your period or just before your period starts? It’s because of all the hormonal changes that your body experiences during the release. For some girls, it just makes them more hornier and sex can feel so much better.

12 tips on having sex on your period

If you’ve been interested in the idea or have tried it a few times, here are a few tips to make the whole flow game a lot easier and sexier.

#1 Use a cloth. This is a basic move that all of us should know. Place a soft cloth under your butt to avoid staining the bed.

#2 Keep tissues nearby, especially if he comes into you. You already have a fluid waiting to come out. Add his load to it and you have considerable amount of fluids in there that’s waiting to come out as soon as you move or lift your back up. Cover your wet spot with a tissue and sit up after sex. You won’t notice a difference in the way you feel. [Read: 7 sexiest types of sex you can ever have!]

#3 Missionary is a safe position. If you’re on your period, don’t get on top. A few lessons on gravity should explain that. Instead, lie on your back and just enjoy the ride while your man does all the work.

#4 It’s safer to ejaculate into you. If you’re not on the pill, this may be your man’s dream come true. Men like ejaculating, but they understand the importance of a condom or the pull out method. During your period, a guy could ejaculate into you without the regular risk of pregnancy. But then again, do so at your own risk because there have been a few rare cases of pregnancy after ejaculating into a girl during her period. [Read: 20 things that turn guys on about a girl]

#5 Wear a condom if you’re not in a monogamous relationship. Sexually transmitted diseases travel better in blood than in sexual fluid. So unless you know your sexual partner like the back of your hand, it’s still not safe to take that protection off.

#6 Wrap a blanket. If you or your boyfriend is bothered by any odor during the act, wrap your blanket around yourselves up to the neck while doing the missionary and viola, no nose pinching required.

#7 Shower sex. Shower sex was probably invented to have sex during the period. If you’re having sex under flowing water, there’s a good chance both of you won’t even realize you’re on your period.

#8 Don’t let him finger you unless he likes what’s on his hands. You’re wet already, so your man doesn’t really need to use his fingers or spend too much time with his hands around your pelvis to make you wet. Just tell him to stick it in slowly and you’ll be able to smoothen it through. [Read: Top 10 female sexual fantasies]

#9 Heavy flow. If you experience heavy flows, avoid having sex during the first couple of days. It’s easier to have sex after your heaviest days. At times, both of you may not even notice the difference.

#10 Sperm stays alive for up to 72 hours. Well, just in case you’re wondering about this little detail, if your man ejaculates into you, his little minions will be taking a swim down there for close to three days.

#11 Oral sex during menstruation. This is a tricky subject to discuss about, some couples like it and many others don’t. If you like it, you definitely don’t need any tips here. But if you’re contemplating over this, don’t worry, you’re not a weirdo! [Read: How to make him go down on you without a push]

#12 The panty puller move. If you’re wearing sanitary pads, pull the panties and the pad to one side and give him some space to penetrate you from one side of your panties. He may like how tight it feels, and it’ll reduce any outflow or squirts when he takes his member out.

Do guys like having sex during your period?

Some guys actually like it better than normal sex, call it a fetish or call it just one of many things that fascinate guys about girls. [Read: Top 10 sexual fantasies for men]

For all others, it’s a unique experience worth trying at least once. Hardly any guys are ever put off by it. In almost all cases, it’s usually the girl who has a problem with it.

Want to know how to fall in love with someone like you’re in a fairytale with no evil stepmothers or bad endings? Read these 18 tips to do just that. By Jessica Dawson

For many people in the world, love is overrated and hyped.

I have many friends who don’t actually believe in love.

They believe that cohabiting or getting married is just a way to find someone who can help you when you need help.

That’s just sad.

How can you ever find true love or experience the bliss of romance if you don’t even believe it exists?

[Read: How does love at first sight happen?]

I’ll tell you this.

Love does exist. And it’s a beautiful thing.

Falling in love can feel like a beautiful fairytale if you just know how to experience it.

[Read: Tips to have a perfect new relationship]

How to fall in love the right way

If you know how to fall in love with someone and enjoy every moment of it, you’ll be able to experience it and cherish it better than many others who think love is just an excuse for sex or a way to lean on someone else.

It doesn’t matter if you’re already in love or falling in love with someone right this moment, just use these 18 tips on how to fall in love like you’re in a fairytale, and guess what, you will fall into a perfect one!

#1 Stretch the wooing period. Both of you may like each other a lot already. But don’t ask each other out too soon. Stretch the wooing for as long as both of you possibly can. The longer you play the chase, the more deeper and truer your love will be. Just enjoy the dating period for a while and both of you will truly value the relationship and the commitment to each other. [Read: The right way to play the chase in love]

#2 Fall in love with each other even before popping the question. As humans, we only enjoy something and value it when we’ve worked hard to achieve it. Even if there’s a lot of love in the air, let the confusion stay for a while. Linger for a few months, maybe even six months before both of you give your relationship a name.

By doing this, you’ll always remember your wooing and pursuing days forever and treasure every step you took before actually committing to each other. And if your partner couldn’t wait even a few months, could they really be satisfied with you for the rest of your life? [Read: 25 relationship rules for successful love]

#3 Don’t have sex for as long as you can hold it. Call me old fashioned, but in these days of fast love, all of us are ever ready to take a plunge into sex as soon as we possibly can. It’s not a bad thing, but at times, prolonging it can actually bring both of you closer without the confusion of sex and lust which can create a strong infatuation that can be confused with love.

#4 Go out of your way to please each other. Fairytales have a lot of evil plots. You really don’t need them in your life. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go out of your way to do something special for your lover. At least in the first few months of love, put in your effort and labor of love to prove your love for this special person. [Read: A sweet example of the labor of unconditional love]

#5 Always look good on a date. Fairytale romances always look so beautiful. The setting is always perfect. The lovers look pretty and the dates look like, well, fairytales. If you really want to experience falling in love like a fairytale, learn to look good for each other. Awe your date each time with your beauty and grace, and both of you will create a picture perfect romance. [Read: How to be graceful and elegant all the time]

#6 Don’t spend too much time meeting each other at the beginning. Unless you’re living together already, don’t crowd each other’s spaces. Give space to miss each other and fall more in love all the time. Sometimes, it takes missing each other to fall more in love with each other. You can meet each other every day if you want to, but don’t spend all your free time together. Learn to miss your lover and your love will bloom like never before.

#7 Be the perfect lady and gentleman for each other. Boring lovers say chivalry is dead. But true lovers know it’s actually the only way to show much you care about each other. Treat each other like knights and damsels when you’re with each other. Respect each other and always look for ways to make something easier for each other. [Read: How to be chivalrous in these modern times]

#8 Keep the chase alive after getting into the relationship. Don’t be easy to get. Compromise, but don’t be a doormat. As much as falling in love should be about giving in to each other’s wants, it’s not about putting up with each other. Never lose respect for each other and learn to play hard to get when your partner disrespects you or takes you for granted.

#9 Stay in touch. Old fairytales are filled with love letters and thoughtful souvenirs of love. You don’t have to be with each other all the time, but keep each other updated through little texts and happy surprises. Buy little gifts when you go shopping by yourself, or when you see something your partner may like. Take off on weekend getaways or vacations now and then to keep the connection alive. [Read: The beginners guide to writing a perfect love letter]

#10 Create new experiences all the time. Love is impatient, just like youth. You’d want to experience everything it has to offer immediately. But if you genuinely think you like someone, don’t rush into it. Plan activities with your partner but keep a few experiences in mind for later too. Love, just like everything else in life, has to be fuelled constantly with new experiences.

#11 Make an effort to stay loyal. I admit, it’s not easy to stay loyal when there are so many good looking people and flirty banter all around us. But ask yourself, is a few minutes of orgasms worth breaking the special bond you have with your lover? [Read: The right way to resist temptation in love]

#12 Communicate with each other. Spend a lot of time talking to each other and learn about each other’s wants and desires in all aspects of your lives if you want to fall in love like a fairytale. [Read: The best things to talk about in a perfect relationship]

#13 Always end an argument. You don’t have to fear arguments in a relationship. Fairytales have them too. But what matters when you have an argument is the way you end it. Never walk away from an argument and shut the door on your partner. Even if it hurts like crazy, talk about it and always end the argument with a warm hug and a kiss, even if you’re clenching your fists behind your partner’s back.

#14 Don’t ignore sex once you get intimate. Yes, seeing the same bodies are bound to get rather boring after a while. But good sex is very important if you want to keep love alive in your relationship. Look for ways to recreate the passion of first time sex and you’re relationship will be perfect. [Read: 50 kinky ideas to make sex more sexy]

#15 Special gestures. Falling in love is easy when there’s attraction and infatuation in the air. Staying in love needs a few reminders now and then. Don’t overlook the smallest of gestures if you think it’ll bring a smile on your lover’s lips. [Read: 25 sweet romantic gestures for everyday life]

#16 Make long term plans. Talk about your lives together with each other. Make little plans together for the future. Can you imagine waking up every morning with no purpose or direction? Your life would be rather dull and boring, don’t you think? If you want to fall in love and stay in love, you need to give meaning and a purpose to your relationship by creating little milestones and goals to keep the excitement and passion alive. [Read: How to have a long term relationship that lasts]

#17 Always look at the bright side. Be happy and cheerful in your everyday lives. People who dwell on sadness and pain have a way of attracting it in their daily lives. If you want your love life to feel like a fairytale, be positive in your thoughts and expectations from the relationship. If you fear your relationship is going downward, in all probability, it will.

#18 Create memories and save them. If you want to know how to fall in love and keep the love alive, never let love get repetitive or stagnant. Don’t ever take each other for granted either. Instead, share new activities together, be it gardening or going on a trek. And always take photographs or make home videos together. Special memories of everyday moments can actually help both of you fall more in love with each other each time you watch those photographs or videos again.

Don’t lose faith in love. Your dreams of perfect love is in your own hands. Understand how to fall in love and stay in love the right way, and your fairytale romance will definitely have a happily ever after.

Are you in a new relationship after a recent breakup? Find out if you’re in a rebound or a serious romance with these 15 rebound relationship signs. By Francesca Marie

Heartbreaks can be painful.

And at times, nothing can heal heartbreak better than a perfect rebound relationship.

[Read: Rebound relationships and why they’re perfect after a breakup]

But are you in an intentional rebound relationship?

Do you think you’re really serious but find yourself getting confused about whether you’re actually in a rebound relationship?

Signs of a rebound relationship

If you’re in a rebound relationship, it’s always best to tell your new lover that you’re not ready for a serious relationship just yet.

It’ll help both of you take things slowly without too many expectations or heartbreaks.

Here are 15 rebound relationship signs that can help you understand the emotions you’re going through.

If you find that you’re experiencing more than a few of these signs, there’s a good chance you’re in love only to get over an older love!

#1 You just want to date someone, anyone. If you’ve been dumped by your ex or have experienced a bad relationship, you helplessly get drawn to anyone who gives you attention.

Your mind subconsciously wants to experience love again, and even if you want to avoid dating for a while, you can’t help but fall into the trap of love almost immediately.

#2 The sex is great. But you have no idea about how the relationship is going. You’re having a lot of fun in your new lover’s arms, but you don’t even know what kind of a relationship you’re in. You’re more focused on the fun part of the new romance than the serious parts that really matter in a new relationship. [Read: New relationship advice to have a perfect start]

#3 You don’t remember how you got over your ex. It takes time to get over someone you truly loved. For some, it may take a few weeks and for others, it may take several months. If you’re already happy in a new relationship, but have no recollection of how you got over your ex, chances are you’ve rushed into something new before you could finish the last chapter of your old love. [Read: The right way to get over a broken heart]

It’s a risky move because you’ve left the crucial ending unfinished and it may come back to haunt you when you’re having a rough patch in your new relationship.

#4 You often talk about your ex with your new partner. It may seem like you’re opening up to your new lover by frankly talking about your ex like you have no feelings for them. But deep inside, the whole reason you’re talking about your ex with anyone who cares to listen is because you still have feelings for them. [Read: How to stop thinking about someone you like]

#5 You have mood swings. You may find yourself in a confused state of mind often even though you’re happy in your new romance. Almost always, you’ll be happy when you’re with your new squeeze but depressed and confused when you’re alone.

#6 You fantasize about your ex getting back to you. Do you spend a lot of time imagining scenarios that involve your ex? Do you like thinking about how your ex would feel seeing you in your new lover’s arms, or do you wonder if your ex is still thinking about you?
