I came across an article about “How to Show Love” from WikiHow and thought it’s pretty amusing albeit true. Love seems like a game, but it’s not. Most important part of it is just be yourself. Below are the steps:

Showing our love towards those who deserve it is an art. When you know it’s real, or maybe pure enough to be shown, you have to know how to show it.

1. Be yourself. Don’t play roles and don’t try to act like the cliche lovers you’ve seen in movies or shows. Play your own music when it comes to showing love.
2. Use as few words as possible. Let your love shine through your actions and behaviors.
3. Try to be unpredictable. You can make him/her think you’re not enthusiastic about something he/she likes, and then surprise him/her by doing something about it at the most unexpected time.
4. Make a small unexpected comment or sentence about your own feelings at an appropriate time that is also emotionally penetrative, especially with a tone showing you’re not waiting for a response.
5. Remember what you’ve said and in fact claimed. Your actions are going to prove or disprove it and he/she is waiting to see whether you keep your word or not.
6. Think and act spontaneously, do be prepared (like you’re reading this), but don’t exactly pre-plan anything.
7. Use the circumstances coming up to show your love. When you do it during a normal talk or in normal situations, it won’t impress him/her. It will be sort of cliche. So use the situations that come up. When you choose circumstances to show your love, it’s like you pick a tool for doing it and believe me:it’s a good tool.
8. Show your love to others by showing your love for what they really like or to what interests them. This is another impressive tool. Learn how to use it.
9. Some people recognize or show love in different ways. For example, some people may show their love by kissing and touching, while another person may show love by doing things or just having quality time with the one they love.

Online dating is an ubiquitous thing nowadays. One gets more options before meeting his or her date in real person. For example, you get to take your time to choose, understand, evaluate or prepare yourself before meeting your online date in real life. However, it is always important to be cautious like the saying, “better safe than sorry”. Here are ten online dating tips that you’ll find useful: -

1. Figure out what you want
   If you don’t know what you really want or need, then it will take you just that much longer to find it. Be honest with yourself about what kind of relationship you’d prefer to be involved in, to save yourself (and others) time and trouble.
2. Be Honest
   While discretion is recommended, lying is not, so be honest when you post your profile and photos. Watch out for someone who seems too good to be true. The person at the other end may not be who or what he or she says.Trust your instincts.
3. Write a great profile
   What you say about yourself speaks volumes. Keep it light and friendly, and avoid anything negative sounding. Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work or any other identifying information in your member profile or initial messages.
4. Request a photo
   And don’t forget to post your own. It’s a proven fact that you’ll receive twelve times as many responses when you do. Photos will give you an idea of someone’s appearance, which may prove helpful in realizing that ‘gut feeling.’ It’s best to view several images of someone in various settings: casual, formal, indoor and outdoors.
5. Chat on the phone
   Before you decide to meet, a phone call can reveal much about a person’s communication and social skills. Only give your phone number when you feel completely comfortable.
6. Meet when YOU are ready
   The beauty of meeting and relating online is that you can collect information gradually, later choosing whether to pursue the relationship in the offline world. You never are obligated to meet anyone, regardless of your level of online intimacy.
7. Watch for red flags
   Pay attention to displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts to pressure or control you. Acting in a passive-aggressive manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments or any physically inappropriate behavior are all red flags.
8. Meet in a safe place
   When you choose to meet in ‘real life’, always tell someone you know where you are going and when you will return. Leave your date’s name and telephone number with your friend. Rather than have your date to pick you up at home, provide your own transportation, and meet in a public (crowded) place, and when the date is over, leave on your own as well.
9. Take extra caution outside your area
   If you are flying in from another city, arrange for your own car and hotel room. Do not disclose the name of your hotel and never allow your date to make the arrangements for you. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll have a place to go back to.
10. Never do anything you feel unsure about
    If you are in any way afraid of your date, use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and get out of there. But then again, you never know, the stars may all line up perfectly, and you’ll find you’ve met your soul mate. You certainly wouldn’t be the first — lots of happy couples have met online.

One of the most asked questions in today’s world is no other than “How do I find the perfect match?” This has become a very common question as the world evolves, relationships are getting harder to sustain unlike a decade ago.

These days, most couples are like Hollywood celebrities, divorce rates are getting higher than ever before, couple splits more often than earthquakes occur within a year, what’s more these things still happen as often despite the fact the person having a give birth to a child or two - it is very common to see divorced parents with at least one child these days.

Why do divorcing and splitting become so ubiquitous these days? How does one find the common understanding on each other? And most of all, how does one find the perfect match?

Many believe that there’s a special person out there for everyone. Many have found theirs and yet, many are still searching and hoping. Though I would like to believe there’s always someone out there waiting for everyone, I can’t help but think that it is virtually impossible to find the exact right person from the billions of people around us. Therefore, I’m not searching. I believe the right person will appear when the time is right.

How does one find the perfect match? Moreover, if one has found one, how does one really knows if the person is the perfect match? Let’s go through this scenario: - Jon has found Mary and thinks Mary is the perfect match in every aspect. Jon thinks Mary is the one. Mary has many flaws that others might not be able to accept but because Jon sees more good points in Mary, they override the flaws she has. And they got engaged. But one day, Jon met Penny and he falls in love with Penny instantly. Penny is almost like Mary, except she doesn’t have the flaws Mary has. In this scenario, what should Jon do? Is Mary the perfect match? Or could it be Penny? It is impossible to choose when this scenario arises. The only way to solve this is through true conscience. But, is it? True love might break some hearts but if that’s the only way, then conscience would have to make way.

The above scenario is just an example of many other possible scenarios. In most of these cases, the decision that’s made is down right important since the person we choose will be the person that we will spend the rest of our lives with. Despite that, the special someone might not actually be our soul mates. Some people are meant to be married and some are destined to be single. While some of those married couples might find their soul mates in their spouses, those who are single will find their soul mates in the people around them – cousins, neighbors, best friends. And for some, even cats and dogs too. The special someone or something we are looking for might just be right in front of our eyes. Very much like the Westlife’s song Flying Without Wings, we are searching for the special someone (or something) that can complete us and we might find it in the strangest places we never know.

The truth is we just have to keep on searching until we found our perfect match – the special someone that can make us “fly without wings”.
