The Honeymooners

The honeymoon phase! The period of a budding intimate relationship where energy is abundant, patience are copious, cornucopia of emotions are being appreciated and the 'honeymooners' are getting fresh dosages of each other and can't get it fast enough. They just can't get enough of one another. Despite this being the biggest strain to the average male dater's pocket, he is happy to do anything to make her happy. Women like this for obvious reasons and they accommodate the possible dirty laundry which is attached to him and ignores any flaw that he may have.
The honeymoon phase, which lasts ideally for a year (although sometimes only a weak in the Bahamian culture), is exactly a phase. It is a short-term rushing surge which flows throughout the body of the relationship, only for a short period of time. Lovers who built their relationship on the grounds of equality, friendship, respect and esteem of the personality of each other, will adjust to the newer, more challenging phase of their relationship after the honeymoon.
There are a few reasons why most people, being either one or both partners, don't stick around after the ecstasy cease existence. Such people are :

1. The Passion Slaves

These people are those who are addicted so much to the excitement of the amorous honeymoon, they sub-consciously perceive it as being a drug. Like every junky, passion slaves merely are looking for the next hit, so they become serial daters, bailing out when the fire isn't as big as the explosion. Something they want and believe they need, this fire is what they expect to be present in every relationship for it to be a long term success, clearly not understanding honeymoons are only so great because you haven't gotten time to see his/her flaws.
He is like a new toy which stimulates high fascination to you until you reach the point of being conditioned to it's 'wonders'. At this point, you have to ask yourself whether this piano's a toy or a love to you. Only if it's the latter, you can continue in the second stage of relationship with good promise.

2. The Commit-a-phobe

These people are simple, as people say, "scared of commitment". Because of this, commitaphobes abort the relationship when they feel the connection is growing to an extent of them becoming vulnerable or emotionally strong; all signs of a long term relationship outside of the honeymoon phase. This may be due to the commitaphobic person being hurt in a previous relationship or because the commitaphobic lover is afraid that the only thing next to long term relationship is marriage, and that's enough to make anyone second guess their moves.
The commitaphobes differ from the passion slaves because passion slaves want to graduate pass the honeymoon level and commitaphobes don't. It's possible to be both.

3. The Can't Graduate----rrs

Have you ever noticed that you're with someone and the relationship seems to stay floating on the surface. In other words, you both haven't submerge into your relationship fully. You know he's a nice person however you don't know why this honeymoon stage is lasting so long... and the next level doesn't arrive. Well you might be one of the many who have a problem graduating to a higher level. Passion Slaves don't graduate because as the relationship matures, they lose interest in the lackluster love. Commitaphobes don't graduate because of the fear of commitment. 'Nongraduaters' don't graduate because there's an unknown factor which leaves them on the level of a relationship with no dept.
 
 
Sometimes relationships merely don't work and the partner calls a quits not because he/she is a passion slave, commitaphobe nor a 'can't-graduater'. He/she calls a quits because he/she is sagacious and is being perspicacious in leaving before it gets too hard.
If you find yourself being anyone of the aforementioned personality types, be certain you know what you want. If what you want is a long term relationship, come to the realization that life and love isn't a constant climatic climate. It is a personal interaction between you and others where trails take place which normally are followed by bliss. Also, realize that when you're in a relationship which is solely measured on how you and the partner relates to one another. remain being yourself and date and like the frog, don't go looking for flies, let the flies come to you (I got that from Hey Arnold!). Stay being yourself and you'll find someone who will take you to the next level and beyond!!!

Kissing No-No's

Ever got kissed? If yes, have it ever turned you on? If yes, have it ever turned you off? If yes... have you ever turned someone else off with a kiss? If no, you're probably in denial. I'm sure everyone did, at least, one bad kiss before (I'm not talking about myself). If you, though, frequently kiss badly, STOP!!! Kissing is both an art and a technique. Before you become a good artist, you must first have a good technique. To get technical, you must know what to do. Before knowing what to do, you must learn what not to do. Here are some kissing NO-NO's.

1. Sloppy Woppy needs to Stoppie

I mentioned this first because most bad kissers are, indeed, sloppy kissers. If you find yourself french kissing when your partner is just smooching, you are sloppy. If you see your partner wiping his/her cheeks and around his/her mouth after a little kiss, you are sloppy. Here's some advice, you can either swallow your saliva before kissing or keep you're mouth close until you catch on to your partner's rhythm.

2. The Half of a Second before Kissing

Here's a problem that I used to have. Do not form your face too early before kissing. It looks dumb. And if you're a guy, it may be a turn off for women. The best thing to do is slightly pout your lips. Imagine going in for an open mouth kiss and your mouth is open well before the kiss. Some persons eyes don't close until lip contact. Their last sight is you preparing to consume.

3. Aggressive

During sex and activities of such, maybe the aggressive kiss is acceptable. Even in sex, it's mostly only acceptable in men (according to some women). However, kissing is an art... sort of like ballet. Kissing is not a sport. Kissing is not football, rugby or ultimate fighting. When a woman kisses and she presses soo hard, you have to brace you neck, that is when aggression has made it to its peak. When kissing, stay relaxed. If it's so good, try kissing longer; not stronger.

4. PDA's

Public display of affection is a No-No if your partner isn't that type. Give a small smooch to test the waters. If he/she recoils, then you should cut it out. It's also a no-no because it's annoying, too, your friends who have to sit and watch you two go at it with callous regard.

5. Lackluster Kissing

A saying is "Kissing is like drinking salted water: The more you drink; the more you thirst." Well that may be true; however, if the kiss is boring, ultimate satisfaction comes quickly and you stop craving. Therefore, boring kisses are like Gatorade. It is refreshing, but quenches thirst quickly.Try spicing up your make-out sessions. Remember, though, not to focus on the performance. You should, still, try having fun with it. I personally like it when it's up-side down. For instance, as your partner is sitting, you come from behind and tilt his/her head back as you kiss. The feeling of the touching of the top of tongues is....... different. Being spontaneous is also spicy. This brings me to my next kiss anathema.

6. Unwanted Kiss

Although you are to be spontaneous sometimes, if he/she doesn't want your kisses, contain your kisses. Nothing is worst than a kiss too early in a relationship. Another unwanted kiss is kissing in the front of his or her parents. Most find that awkward and you'll be losing major points. An kiss that I don't want is early morning kisses. I never had it before; but, when/if I get married, I hope my wife doesn't force me to be rude.There are more but I'm tired of writing. Comment if you wish to propone!! And remember "Life is a gift of nature. Love is a gift of life. A Kiss is a gift of love."
