Things to Do When You're Single in Chicago by: Andy Eliason
So you say you're single in Chicago? What are you going to do about it?
First things first. You have to find someone else who happens to be single in Chicago, and you have to be willing to take the steps to meet them and take them out into the town to experience everything the Chicago dating scene has to offer.
This is possibly the most important step, though, admittedly, one of the more difficult. There are more than a million singles in Chicago, so how do you find the right one?
Modern times call for modern solutions, and the Chicago online dating community is one of the best in the country. And online dating sites that offer compatibility profiles are one of the best ways to weed out the incompatibles and make the most of your time as a single in Chicago.
Now, once you've found the right person, it's time to try something new and unique. With so many opportunities in Chicago, there's no reason to let yourself get bogged down in the old standby “dinner and a movie”. When you're single in Chicago you have a very singular opportunity to experience activities, music, cuisine and a world of other possibilities that singles in other cities will never know.
You can begin your day at Millennium Park, take the time to go strolling through the landscape or pack up a blanket and food for a wonder picnic. If you're looking for something a little more active, head over to Navy Pier where you can experience everything from riding on a giant ferris wheel to watching a performance by a Shakespeare Troupe. Still not what you're looking for? Then take a day and mingle with the tourists at the Sears Tower. This is something that Chicago singles often pass up because it's seen as too “touristy”, but the view of Chicago can only really be appreciated 110 stories up. It's a great way to get the date started off right.
If these activities aren't quite your thing, consider the Chicago sports scene. Chicago is populated by some of the most loyal sports fans in the country, and if you can find someone who is single in Chicago and also loves the Bears/Bulls/Cubs/etc, the an athletically themed date may be perfect for you.
Chicago is known for some great cuisine, but often we can fall prey to complacency and routine, and always wind up at the same places over and over again. Take some time to find a new and romantic place and start creating some truly memorable dating memories. Whether at Geha's Fondue or Emperor's Choice for some Chinese food, you can find new dining experiences in Chicago.
But if what you really need is to hit the dance floor with your favorite Chicago dance partner, then this town can provide. When you're single in Chicago you can spend your evenings surrounded by 800 other people at the Crobar or experience a wide range of music at Sonotheque. There's something in this town for everyone, from techno lovers to Country swingers.
So here's the real question: With so much to do in Chicago, why would you waste your time with the mundane and standardized dates? We often do it because it's simple, quick, and fairly cheap. And While we know it won't be all that impressive of a date, we also know that it probably won't fail miserably either. Rather than try something new, where our plans may crash and burn, we opt for the “safe” option, where our plans can wallow in the shallow waters of routine. But maybe it's time to take advantage of your time as a single in Chicago and start making your dating life something spectacular.

Big No-No's In Your Relationship with A Woman, Which She Secretly Wish You Knew!
Big No-No's In Your Relationship with A Woman, Which She Secretly Wish You Knew! by: Cucan Pemo
There are things that women want men to know but do not tell them. This is going to mean the difference between a good relationship and a bad one. If men could only know about these things that are big no-nos and knew what women wanted, they would be able to have happier relationships with the woman in their life.
1) Giving Respect is as Important as Getting It
One thing is respect. Women want to have respect. When it comes to respecting women, some men are not so good at it. This may end up resulting in them losing out in the relationship. It is important to show respect to a woman that you are involved with or any woman for that matter. Give them an opportunity to see that you can be a good guy and that you can respect what they believe and let them have their own feelings about things.
Respect is going to be shown through actions. You can do nice things for a woman like opening up the door, giving up your seat or talking to her differently with passion and concern. It is not acceptable to just fake some charm on a first date. You need to be real and up front about how you are going to be in the relationship on a day-to-day basis.
2) Being Kind to the World
Being kind is another secret that most men do not know that women want. Women want their man to be kind to everyone. They want them to nice to everyone that they meet to some degree.
Treating others nicely will mean that they are kind and are going to give the same type of treatment that they deserve and expect from everyone else. Kindness can go a long way to a women's heart and it should be something that men think about.
3) Having Accountability for Actions
Women want men to have accountability. They wan to make sure that men are going to take the responsibility for the things that they have done. This can mean anything from the smallest problem to bigger life changing events that happen in their life. Women want to make sure that they are with a man that is going to be a stand-up guy and do what they are supposed to do.
4) Loving Family
One no no that women hate is a man that does not love her family. Women want to have a man that is going to love their family and take on the pressures of family life in a good way.
This means their parents, brothers, sisters and children all the same. They need to know that they can rely on their husbands or boyfriends to do what is needed of them. Most women need someone that they can trust and whom they know is going to be there for them when they are most in need.
5) Being Safe and Secure
Women want to also feel safe with their men. They want to know that they have nothing to worry about and that they are in good hands when they are with them. Having the feeling of security is going to mean all the difference when a woman is with their man. They want to be secure not only with their man but they also want to know that their man is going to be there to protect them when they need it the most.
Women need to make sure that their man is taking their relationship seriously. They want to know that their man is going to be there for them no matter what and they want to make sure that they are for real in the partnership.
Try not to joke around all the time and laugh about things in the relationship as this is going to insult some women and make them feel low. Women want their men to be committed and serious about what is going on in the relationship just as they do.

Having a Threesome Can Be Benefitial To Your Relationship
Having a Threesome Can Be Benefitial To Your Relationship by: Suzy Bauer
You might wonder... Are there any benefits of enjoying threesome once in a while?
Oh YES there are!
Let’s take a look at the three major benefits of experiencing a more open sex life:
1. You can’t cheat and the need to cheat diminishes
2. Your chances of remaining in a quality relationship drastically improve
3. You make more effort to stay physically in shape
1. You can’t cheat and the need to cheat diminishes
Most monogamous couples choose to be 'monogamist' not because they want to, but because they don’t know any better. Many of them get married with the best of their intentions to remain faithful, however, after a few years of being together the “opportunity” arises and suddenly they cheat on their wife or husband. Why do you think people cheat? Because they’re looking for something that they can’t find anymore in their steady partners: VARIETY.
The thought to have sex with only one person for the rest of our lives scares the hell out of most of people; especially guys! Whether we like to admit it or not; the truth is that traditional couples 'cheat' all the time. If we’re good enough at hiding our 'affairs', the secret goes with us to the grave. Some “cheaters” however are caught in the act. Unfortunately cheating on your partner; caught or not, destroys that precious bond that you have together.
The moment you cheat, you have subconsciously damaged the relationship. Interesting enough amongst sexually liberated couples 'cheating' is nearly non-existing. Why? Because they “play” together so they can have the best of both worlds: familiarity and variety. Playing brings them together, not apart as in 'cheating.'
2. Your chances of remaining in a quality relationship drastically improve
Because you both get to play with other people your relationship gives you the best of both worlds: variety and familiarity. This gives you a huge advantage to keeping a long-lasting quality relationship over most monogamous couples.
3. You make more effort to stay physically in shape
Because you’re hunting for threesome candidate (s) you remain in the “Dating Scene.” Most traditional couples end the honey moon phase in their relationship pretty early and reality settles in. They’re living together, working hard, start a family, trying to keep up with their social and family life. This seriously affects their sex life; familiarity sinks in and before they know it they put on weight and stop taking care of their physical appearance… having a sexually open, responsible non-monogamist relationship with your partner keeps you young.
Flirting raises your self-esteem and gives you an incentive to remain fit and attractive. “Playing Couples” , as they are known in the swinging scene, have a tendency to take care of their physical appearance. They want to be attractive not only for themselves but also for others.

As Any Husband’s Luck Would Have It …
As Any Husband’s Luck Would Have It … by: James L. Snyder
For many people July 7, 2007 was considered a lucky day. All across our country hundreds of young couples selected this day to get married. It had something to do with having three sevens in a row. Everybody knows this is the epitome of luck.
Actually, not everybody knew this, because I did not know it. It never occurred to me that a combination of certain numbers could in fact give me luck. Moreover, why the number 7 is lucky is beyond my imagination. Let alone, three in a row. Why not four in a row, or better yet, seven in a row? That would make more sense to me.
Obviously, the words “luck” and “sense” should not be used in the same sentence.
If you have luck, you don’t need good common sense. And the reverse is true, if you have good common sense what do you need with luck?
But, for some reason many couples all across the country believed July 7, 2007 was a lucky day to get married. I have my suspicions that this came from the bride’s side of the wedding party and not the groom’s. Most grooms I know count themselves lucky to find someone who will in fact marry them. And then, every groom thinks it’s a lucky day when he gets through his wedding day without unduly embarrassing his new in-laws.
I have officiated at many weddings in my time. I must admit there were some couples I felt could use all the luck in the world. Then there were, unfortunately, those couples that no amount of luck in the universe was going to help them. Despite vehement objections on my part, I could not convince them to call the whole thing off. They thought they were in love and that is all they needed to get through life.
After all, love makes the world go around, which may be why so many people in love are so dizzy.
In spite of this “lucky day,” statistics tell us more than half of these marriages will end in divorce. And believe me, divorce is no lucky thing, unless you’re a divorce attorney, who just may be behind this entire “lucky-day-marriage” phenomenon.
Marriages are not built on luck, but on love and lots and lots of hard work. More of the latter than the former, I assure you.
As I was reading all of this nonsense about “lucky day marriages,” I turned to the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and asked her about this.
“Do you think our wedding day was your lucky day?”
Some days I regret my mother ever taught me how to speak. The problem with my mother was, she taught me how to speak but never taught me what to say. I believe this is a woman’s conspiracy against men. Mothers should teach their sons what to say and what not to say to their wives.
My question to my wife was a rather innocent thing, so I thought. I will not say she threw me a sarcastic look. She did, I just refuse to say it in public on grounds it will incriminate me. A husband can stand only so much incrimination in life.
After this alleged sarcastic look my way, she simply said, “Ha!”
I’m not sure she thought I was making a joke or not, but being the astute husband that I am, I pursued the thought no further. This is what makes marriages great ... mystery. Our marriage has enough mystery in it to keep Agatha Christie busy for 100 years.
Luck is a very curious thing. I’m not at all sure how to define it, but I count it a lucky day when I don’t spill ketchup on my tie when eating at a restaurant.
Counting on luck really doesn’t add up. Luck comes in only two categories. Good luck and bad luck.
This reminds me of the old “Hee Haw” song that said, “If I didn’t have any bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all.” Much of the luck in my life has all been bad.
When I was younger, I had a lucky shirt. I wore to every ballgame I played in and it always brought me good luck; I never died in any game. Since getting married, my luck has changed. I have not seen that shirt in 30 years. I’m not blaming my wife, but I did not throw it out.
How I made it through life all these years without my “lucky shirt,” I do not know. More than once my wife has suggested I no longer need that “lucky shirt,” because she is my “lucky charm.” I’m in no position to argue.
I like what the Bible has to say on these lines.
“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (2 Peter 1:16-17 KJV.)
Counting on luck is about as futile as counting sheep at night. When you get up in the morning, the sheep are gone, and that is the way it is with luck.
What I count on is Jesus Christ. Counting on Him has multiplied blessings in my life.

The Morning after a Threesome
The Morning after a Threesome by: Suzy Bauer
What can you do "The Morning After" a threesome to avoid negative feelings
After she’s gone, it‘s time for you and your partner to connect with each other, talk about the experience and re-live together what you’ve accomplished! This is the time to bring out your feelings and tell each other honestly how the experience was. It’s also the time to compliment each other as much as possible about what you just accomplished. From this moment the female in the seducing couple becomes the “queen of the world” and the male’s duty is to spoil her rotten for days to come. This works in his favor, because it’ll be an incentive for her to allow you to experience more threesomes!
A small tip that will simply show your thoughtfulness as a couple towards your friend is to send her a bouquet of flowers the next day with a nice but naughty card telling her how grateful you both are and how special she is. Mention that you’ll never forget that beautiful night.
Important Considerations
Make sure you leave the door really open for her to come back, however don’t assume that just because it happened once it will happen again. Now the ball is on her court. Respect her choice and avoid assuming that just because she slept with you, you have a relationship! Single women react differently every time, so it’s virtually impossible to give you a recipe. My advice is that you play it by ear; next time you both see her embrace her tender, but don’t try to jump on top of her right away with a passionate French kiss. As a woman, meeting your friend again after that night act totally cool and natural about it and reinforce that it was a wonderful night. By no means display any feelings of uncertainty or confusion. If she sees you’re comfortable and confident she’ll consider returning, this will show her that you’re a mature couple where she can seek refugee and with whom she can explore her erotic fantasies with ease and confidence.
I’ve heard many comments of people who've just experienced a threesome and interesting enough they swing on a scale from “the best sexual experience of my life” to “highly overrated” to “it screwed up the relationship with my friend.” This reminds me of the roller coaster ride in the amusement park... some people get on it and have the time of their life and others come down throwing up and are sick for the rest of the day. Same experience, but complete reactions.
Why does this happen? Well, simple; FOCUS. If they focus on the shakes and turns and go against the flow because of fear, they will get sick, however if they let themselves go and immerse themselves in the fun, they’ll love the ride! Threesomes are the same, if you’re a responsible person and you simply want to explore your hedonistic urges and go with the flow, always looking ahead, then you’ll have a great time. However if you behave irresponsibly, don’t follow the right advice and do the wrong things you won’t enjoy it. The choice is yours and only yours.

When Dating Relationship Go Bad
When Dating Relationship Go Bad by: Gabby Love
The overall reason people stay in relationships that just aren't working is because of fear of being alone. Many people are basically considered "walking dead" when it comes to being in a relationship that has no merit of making it. Gabby Love offers many key warning signs that a relationship is on the brink of failure and it's time to move on.
A. Fighting for no reason at all. When you start fighting over petty points that seem to blow out of proportion, i.e. leaving the toilet seat up is a favorite. The man being used to living his whole life on his own all of a sudden is considered inconsiderate and uncaring by the woman if the toilet seat is left up.
B. Showing little or no affection. It's funny how this is such a gray area that can break up a relationship because it's usually determined by the disgruntled party. What is really too much or too little?
C. The dreaded friends of the disgruntled party take center stage. Remember how excited you were when you first met and that special person was considered your true "soul mate" ? Now the meeting of disgruntled friends opinion appears center stage for discussion in your relationship.
D. If there was sexual involvement in the relationship it basically has been stopped or so mundane that you can't wait until you are through. To me this is the real sign it's over. Sex should be considered 90% mental and 10% physical.
E. Conversation in a relationship has become null and void. Remember the long hours on the phone and in person talking about everything? Now you can barely say one word to each other.
F. Finding your focus shifted to others instead of the one you are with. Remember sitting at a table and gazing into each others eyes when you first started dating? Now you look elsewhere instead of with the one you are with.
G. Finding excuses to not be together alone is becoming more evident. One of the favorite cop outs is work. Always working late becomes a popular tool because the other party can say they are too tired to get together.
H. Vacations are spent apart. Let's not forget the movie "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." Vacations apart are meant as a reason to explore new potential recruits. If your mate says they are going to a particular romantic getaway spot by themselves or with friends....boy... the signs are on the wall! It's over!
The above are just a few key points to look out for in a relationship that is going bad. Always remember a healthy relationship should be uplifting and positive.

The man being used to living his whole life on his own all of a sudden is considered inconsiderate and uncaring by the woman if the toilet seat is left up.
B. Showing little or no affection. It's funny how this is such a gray area that can break up a relationship because it's usually determined by the disgruntled party. What is really too much or too little?
C. The dreaded friends of the disgruntled party take center stage. Remember how excited you were when you first met and that special person was considered your true "soul mate" ? Now the meeting of disgruntled friends opinion appears center stage for discussion in your relationship.
D. If there was sexual involvement in the relationship it basically has been stopped or so mundane that you can't wait until you are through. To me this is the real sign it's over. Sex should be considered 90% mental and 10% physical.
E. Conversation in a relationship has become null and void. Remember the long hours on the phone and in person talking about everything? Now you can barely say one word to each other.
F. Finding your focus shifted to others instead of the one you are with. Remember sitting at a table and gazing into each others eyes when you first started dating? Now you look elsewhere instead of with the one you are with.
G. Finding excuses to not be together alone is becoming more evident. One of the favorite cop outs is work. Always working late becomes a popular tool because the other party can say they are too tired to get together.
H. Vacations are spent apart. Let's not forget the movie "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." Vacations apart are meant as a reason to explore new potential recruits. If your mate says they are going to a particular romantic getaway spot by themselves or with friends....boy... the signs are on the wall! It's over!
The above are just a few key points to look out for in a relationship that is going bad. Always remember a healthy relationship should be uplifting and positive.
Perfect Engagement Ring
Perfect Engagement Ring by: Stella Williams
When it comes to buying the perfect engagement ring, we know that it's as important as the marriage proposal, and it's also as important as the wedding reception itself. Since this engagement ring is going to be something that reminds you of something sweet, a cherished moment in your life, the engagement ring should be absolutely nothing short of perfect.
It's not hard to find an engagement ring of your choice. You can find fabulous engagement rings on the Internet or by visiting a local jewelry store near you, but this is a fact - when it comes to buying engagement rings, it's not WHAT you know about engagement rings, diamonds and the quality of gold that matters, it's WHO the engagement seller is and his reputation in the engagement ring sector.
Regardless of how successful the engagement ring seller is, a dishonest engagement ring seller will always try his or her best to fool you about the quality and price of the engagement rings he or she sells. This is to ensure highest possible profit. Even the most experienced and established engagement dishonest ring retailer will try to do this.
However, there's a handful of honest engagement ring sellers who will give you a fabulous deal even if you know NOTHING about engagement rings. Their focus is not to fool you once-off. But the most important trait that an honest engagement ring seller has is that he or she is trying to give you value for money and build trust and a long-term relationship with you. They want you to take the engagement ring home, show it off to your friends and relatives, and then give good reviews about where you got the engagement ring and what a great deal you got for the engagement ring. It's in their interest that you buy one engagement ring, and come back for the wedding ring. It's to their benefit that you trust and have confidence in them that you recommend the engagement ring store to your sister, cousin, aunts and uncles so that they will buy their engagement rings, wedding rings, and jewelry from them.
All jewelers and engagement ring retailers have access to the same pool of diamond and gold resources in the country. The difference is in the seller and how much profit they want to make from you for the sale of the engagement ring.
Finally, be sure to shop around a little bit more before you buy the engagement ring. Most jewelry shops carry the same or similar (if not better) design of engagement rings and you can find different pricing for them somewhere else. And have fun shopping around too!
