Holiday Party & ToY DriVe 2012
I Hope that EveryOne Enjoys The Holidays!! With Family, Friends, Loved Ones..... There is nothing like Christmas Morning and seeing a Smile on a Child's Face and watching it light up the Room.... Brighter than the Tree...... The Greatest Feeling In The World......
Last Night I was a part of something very Special.... We had a Special Holiday Party & Toy Drive @ The Yakitori Boy in Old City, Center City, Philadelphia..... And EveryOne brought out Gifts and Gifts for the Children, Both Boys and Girls, and Gifts of all kinds and all sizes..... And for All Different Ages........
The Gifts were for the Children of the Women in the Battered Women's Shelters of Philadelphia [W.A.R.C.]
** It Feels good to be able to give back. EveryOne, Every Adult, Every Child, deserves to enjoy the Holidays, to enjoy Christmas, and to be able to Smile on Christmas Morning!! And not everyone takes the time out to realize how truly blessed that they really are...... And how many People, Unfortunatley, really are Not......
** It feels good to be able to give back. It's good to know that I am in the Position where I have the ability and resources to be able to help to put together an Event like Last Night, and I have the ability to contribute to such a Positive Cause and situation..... With Great People & Great Friends..... We all came together to help to shine some Light, and help to make a difference, and change Peoples Lives, and do something that can really make the difference in another Person's Life..... It is an amazing feeling.......
I wanna thank each and everyone who came out last night and supported what we were doing, it is amazing. All of the Gifts we were able to put together for these Mother's and there Children......

Do What Ever You Have To Do
Achievement is a matter of putting your mind to it and focusing your actions on it. Anything is possible when you set your intention on making it happen.
There are always plenty of reasons why you can’t get it done. Yet you can choose to do it anyway.
You can find a way. If one approach doesn’t work, another one will.
Decide what you will do, and then do what you decide. Life is too precious, and too filled with great possibilities, to settle for anything less.
Do what you must do until the goal is achieved. You’re smart and motivated and capable, so make it count for something meaningful.
Achievement is yours to do. So choose today to get it done.

Achievement is yours to do. So choose today to get it done.
There's Always A Way Forward
When you have a difficult moment or a challenging day, remember this. The moment will pass and you will eventually work your way through the difficulty.
When trouble surrounds you, it can seem like there’s nothing else. And yet, there is always a way forward.
The problems can seem overwhelming because they are so close. Remind yourself, though, that you are bigger than any of the problems you face.
Take a step away from the situation, take a deep breath, and feel your power to make a difference. Then make the commitment to act in a positive and persistent way.
Don’t let trouble get the best of you. Let it make you stronger.
No difficulty can diminish the immense value of your life. Stay positive, because you have what it takes to make it through.

A Magnificent Reality
Magnificent reality
It doesn’t matter how impressive you appear to others, if you’re not happy and genuinely fulfilled. It doesn’t matter how much money you put into your bank account if you fail to put real, authentic living into your days.
Much of what you assume, in the urgency of the moment, to be important, is probably not so important. As the world’s complexity swirls fiercely around you, remind yourself of what truly matters.
By all means, set ambitious goals, plan, work and achieve. Just be sure there’s a good, solid, meaningful purpose behind it all.
Your life is yours to be lived with genuine richness. Use your time and your efforts to create valuable substance, not just to enhance your image.
You are so very much more than a mere status update. Open yourself to the full magnificent reality of your existence in each splendid moment.
Live wholly, feel deeply, and act boldly according to the truth of who you are. Commit yourself every day to the highest and best experience of your own miraculous life.

A Boy Is Not A Man
Your so-called man's got you stressin' out on a regular
Seems all you do is just fight about nothin' baby
Out with his friends he comes home late night
(He's got more important things to do)
You see the signs makin' love
He don't take his time
All in a daze someone else must be on his mind
Plans for engagement change to another day
(There slipping far away)
All that you need is a little bit of tenderness
Stability in your life
Pull a star out of the sky and place it on your hand
(Star out the sky and I place it on your hand)
He don't understand cause
Boy is not a man
Still messin' around
Don't know what he really wants
(He don't know if he really wants your love babe)
He don't run your baths
And no he never had your back
Stop messin' around
Cause the boy is not man
(He is not a man)
I can't sit by and watch a man just mistreat a dime
He's got a jewel in his pocket that he can't find
Feel like your loyalty is wasted girl
Why do you chase it girl
(You might as well face it girl)
Is it worth it girl I know it's gettin' old to you
He's givin' dough to you
But he's so cold to you
I'mma stop second guessing myself
And step up straight to you
Want to relate to you and I got the taste for you
All that you need is a little bit of tenderness
Stability in your life
Pull a star out of the sky and I place it on your hand
(On your hand)
He don't understand cause
Boy is not a man
Still messin' around
Don't know what he really wants
(He don't know if he really wants but I know I do girl)
He don't run your baths
And no he never had your back
Stop messin' around
Cause the boy is not man
He don't understand your problems
So how's ever gonna solve them
Baby you know I want your love
When he's sexin' you does your spin get chills girl
New positions everytime, I will girl
You need a change of plans
The boy is not a man
(The boy is not a man)
He don't understand cause
Boy is not a man
Still messin' around
Don't know what he really wants
(He don't know if he really wants but I know I do)
He don't run your baths
And no he never had your back
Stop messin' around
Cause the boy is not man
Your problems
Does he ever try to solve them
(He's not a man)
Baby you know I want your love
Seems all you do is just fight about nothin' baby
Out with his friends he comes home late night

"Lonely Girl"
So he started out takin' you out
Doin' what any man would do
Sayin' any and everything to just get wit you
I can't say I blame him for a girl as fine as you
So he played you out, ain't no doubt
He was runnin' game on you
After all the fun he was through with you
Any way that it goes down girl, he's the one that's gonna lose
Don't cry lonely girl
If you need somebody girl
I know you feel deserted
And you can't find your way back home
I will show you girl
The way that love should feel
You ain't suppose to be hurtin'
And you don't have to be alone
It was hard enough, growing up
Being as beautiful as you
Trying to save your love for the one that's true
It's not always so easy to know what's right to do
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jon_b/lonely_girl.html ]
It's your first mistake, you can't make
Make someone be down with you
Why do you even take the time out to call that fool
When you know deep in your heart that he don't care 'bout you
Don't cry lonely girl
If you need somebody girl
I know you feel deserted
And you can't find your way back home
I will show you girl
The way that love should feel
You ain't suppose to be hurtin'
And you don't have to be alone
Ooh you can dry your eyes
Pick yourself up and say bye bye
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Ooh spread your wings and fly
You don't have to hear another lie
Just so long as you know
The world is waiting there for you it's yours
It's all yours
Don't cry lonely girl
If you need somebody girl
I know you feel deserted
And you can't find your way back home
I will show you girl
The way that love should feel
You ain't supossed to be hurtin'
And you don't have to be alone
Doin' what any man would do
Sayin' any and everything to just get wit you
I can't say I blame him for a girl as fine as you
So he played you out, ain't no doubt

Don't cry lonely girl

Take Time to Appreciate & Resonate with The Goodness
Take the time to really appreciate what is right in front of you. Too Many times and too many people take things and people for granted and look past them. In the search for looking for something more, something better, someone better, they miss the good and quality that may be right there for them and right in front of them.....
Give thanks for life as it is, because just the fact of another day of life is beautiful..... Show your gratitude for this moment, this day, this life, by fully accepting and embracing it all...... Take the time to understand it and appreciate it.....
"Resonate With All Of The Goodness"
Give thanks for life as it is, for it is beautiful. Show your gratitude for this moment, this day, this life, by fully accepting and embracing it all.
Feel the joy that is embedded in every possibility. Bring the joy to life by putting your energy into what is truly good and meaningful.
All is well, all is beautiful when you resonate with the goodness that is always there. Experience the awesome power of love by giving love to all you know.
Every day is a day to be thankful. For every day is a day to add great richness to life.
What you already have is amazing in its value. The good that can come from it, has no limit.
Gratefully embrace the boundless abundance of all that is. Here and now, great fulfillment is yours to create.

Could Have
It doesn’t really matter what you could have done, and what could have been. Focus instead on creating the best of what can be.
Your opportunities are in the present, not in the past. Learn from the mistakes, take inspiration from the disappointments and the successes, and move ahead.
Don’t waste your time fighting battles that have already been decided. Put your effort into crafting a beautiful future from what you now have.
Though you’ve missed opportunities in the past, there are plenty of good opportunities that still remain. You cannot go back, and yet you can go positively forward.
Decide what you will have, what you will do, what you will experience. Decide on the ways you will make a difference, and put your energy into doing precisely that.
Leave behind the thoughts of what could have been. You have the grand opportunity to determine and create what now can be.

When You Care
The way to be strong is to care. The way to be informed is to care, and to do something about what you care about.
The way to be competent, effective, persuasive, inspiring and successful is to care about what you’re doing. Life responds in a positive way when you take a real, authentic interest and invest yourself in it.
It isn’t what you’re doing that determines whether you’re wasting your time. It’s how much care you put into what you’re doing that matters.
When you make the task meaningful, it will be meaningful. When you truly care, and act on what you care about, you’re able to create value in any situation.
Do what you care about, and care about what you do. Be a real, live, genuine, original person, and not just an automaton.
Give care to each moment, each task, each person, and each experience. Life’s best possibilities are fulfilled when you truly care

"It Is Important To Make A Woman Laugh"
Is there anything more attractive than a guy who can make women laugh? Using humor can relieve the nervous tension of first date jitters and level the ground between you, negate worries about "not being or looking good enough" and draw a man and a woman closer together. Even though some women fall for a guy's impressive job, savings account or his sexy body, the ability to make them laugh is a renowned dating and flirting strategy that works every time--if you know how to use it right.
Whether you realize it or not, humor is critical to your success with women. In fact, a sense of humor usually tops a woman's attraction wish list and is one of the best ways to turn her on. A woman who finds herself laughing along with your great sense of humor is a girl who is more likely to fall for your charms. Another key component of laughter is that when you’re funny around women, it presents you as the kind of guy who’s fun to be with, and if a woman is really interested romantically, she'll laugh at your jokes--even if they aren't funny!
Although laughter is a very effective dating technique, many guys get it completely wrong when they try to be funny around women. Guys who are desperately trying to seek a woman's approval do things like slap-sticky humor or act like a clown, making it obvious that they're trying to make her laugh and coming across as goofy or dorky. Not good.
In order to get a woman laughing and attracted at the same time, you have to get an idea as to what she may find amusing and tease her; however, this doesn't mean be a jerk. It means using gestures, facial expressions and voice tone to create a fun and flirty vibe and assume familiarity with her by doing things like mocking her voice, telling her funny jokes and stories and using your humor to break the touch barrier while making her laugh at the same time.
The only downside to this strategy is that when you're only teasing and making women laugh, you're not showing them the other parts of your personality. Humor is an effective tool, don’t get me wrong, but don’t rely on it to create attraction all by itself. When meeting new women, you don’t necessarily want to kick off every discussion with a joke. Instead, learn a little bit about the woman first and ask her questions, then once you’ve got her talking, you will gain access to more of her personality and seem like a more well-rounded and interesting type of guy.
When it comes to creating attraction, humor can be your most effective tool when you're talking to a woman. Not only will showing off your great sense of humor get a girl to laugh--it's bound to ensure that both of you enjoy your time spent together....

Become A Better Man
Women are always quite pleased to meet a real gentleman. Following these simple tips will allow the ladies to perceive you as a man of good breeding and taste, so begin elevating yourself by displaying chivalry and the following 10 mannerisms of a true gentleman.
1. Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.
2. Put her coat on for her
Always help a lady put on her coat. This is a simple but powerful action.
3. Help with her seat
If a lady arrives at the table and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer yours to her. If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, it is important that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, with the lady seated of course.
4. Stand at attention
Always stand when a lady enters or exits the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonetheless, if you can do both, you should. Furthermore, when escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground -- especially if she's wearing high heels.
5. Ask if she needs anything
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete the gentlemen in all of us nevertheless. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink or eat. Show her that you care about her comfort and needs.
6. Always be polite
Even if you don't like someone, there is no need to lower yourself to their level. Be polite and courteous; show that you're the better man. Swearing is also a big no-no. It shows that you don't have the vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately. Furthermore, it is always very crude and impolite to be vulgar. When you speak loudly, it raises the stress level among company. It always implies that you can't reason with people and that you have to rely on force to get your point across. It also draws negative attention.
7. Do not lose your temper
When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that you can't control your emotions. If you can't even control yourself, then how can you possibly control anything else? It is not easy, but keep your cool at all times. It is worth the effort and people will take positive note of your levelheadedness. Let people finish what they are saying before adding your comments. Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack of social skills. If you want to come across as egotistical, you can do so by constantly interrupting.
8. Do not stare
Ogling someone is the equivalent of psychological aggression. You don't want to intimidate people for no reason.
9. Do not spit
Although lots of men do this almost subconsciously, don't spit in public. Spitting is very crude and not too pretty to look at. Do not spit in public unless you want to look like you were raised in a sewer.
10. Respect your elders
In fact, you should respect others as you would like them to respect you. I am specifying elders because it seems that today, young men think they know it all. Well, you know you don't... Think about how much more you know than just five years ago..... Remember saying, If I only knew then what I know now.....

1. Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.

Make It Last Forever [The Book]
Relationships, by nature, are not easy. In fact, they are about as difficult to maintain as anything in the world. You know why? Because we are all humans, and with that comes a lot of emotions that influence how we think, what we do, how we react.
Those things determine how we function in a relationship.
And that leads us to what this book is about: determining if you have the right mate in your life and how to maintain or restart the excitement that brought you together in the first place.
For the last several years, I have spoken to thousands and thousands of listeners who called in to my nationally syndicated radio show, “The Sweat Hotel.”
Reaching 1.4 million people a night through the airways means we span the country, and discover that relationship issues have no boundaries.
It does not matter where you live, how old you are, what your profession, your Zodiac sign, your sex, your religion, how much hair you have, what your complexion is, what your education background, the color of your eyes, if you have dandruff or not…We all have them. Seriously.
We have discussed every imaginable scenario and situation; and some neither you nor I could possibly have expected. We have found solutions more times than not, grown as people, comforted each other and generally learned a lot about ourselves—and how to be better mates in relationships.
It is not an exact science. In fact, it is not a science at all. This relationship thing very much is an emotionally charged, reaction-based dilemma that cannot be solved, only managed.
This book is called Make It Last Forever, like the hit song I recorded that became a national anthem for relationships around the world. The idea is to provide insight, tips, messages, ideas, hints, remedies…anything that will help you find the right mate for you and/or sustain your relationship. And that’s what we do here. But here’s the rub: This is no gimmick. This is not superficial advice. This is keeping it real at its realest.
And the reality is that some scenarios you will relate to and learn from, or at least see things from a different perspective. In other cases, you might be shocked someone has ever gone through particular scenarios or needed an outside source to consult. That’s the enormity of it all: Everyone’s experiences are different. But we all share a common bond: Our experiences shape our thinking, reactions and even our emotions—optimism, pessimism, hope, hopelessness—about love and relationships.
I can hear some of you whispering now: Why has he written this book? What makes him qualified? Legitimate questions. The answer is multi-fold: For one, I have experienced just about all aspects of relationships. I have had girlfriends, been married, been divorced, cheated on women, been cheated on by women, been in love when it really wasn’t love, and been in love when it was true love. That spectrum of experience affords me an insight that has instilled a level-headed perspective.
Also, for the last several years, as I mentioned, I have spoken to thousands of people about relationships for three hours a night—probably more than anyone in the country. My radio show has been a virtual and figurative couch for countless listeners who have discussed their concerns with me. That incredibly deep well is the inspiration for the book—I know for a fact there are millions of people seeking direction in their relationships and lives.
Lastly, I have made my career on relationships. My music has touched people, inspired people and, I’m told, has even accounted for some babies. So, it is an area that is important to me. Relationships are really the foundation of our existence. They are what make us go—or not go. When we are in good, healthy relationships, we go about our daily lives in such a euphoric state that it can make haters hate because they do not have what we have.
At the same time, when our relationships are floundering, we feel less than what we should. Our mood is noticeably different, sour even, and we seem to expect less out of life.
That’s why it is important that we establish strong, healthy relationships and/or build on relationships we already have.
Make It Last Forever is designed to help you do that very thing. We will examine many different obstacles that must be overcome, dispositions that have to be taken, adjustments that have to be made that will enhance your relationships—and we will keep it real and have fun throughout the entire journey.
Those things determine how we function in a relationship.

Get Women To Give You Attention
How to Get Women To Notice You..... It's all about your Presence an ability to control the Room when you are in it.... It's about The Man's Natural Swagger.....
Getting a woman's attention is not that difficult, but maintaining that attention can be hard. Women have it easy when it comes to getting attention. All a woman has to do is walk out the door and she can get more than enough attention from men, wherever she goes. In order to get that same attention from women, the most important thing you can do is to continually improve yourself.
Knowing how to get women to notice you is something that most guys are never taught; however, there are some simple techniques you can use to get female attention. To make yourself more attractive to women, you want to display confidence and security in yourself wherever you go. If you carry yourself like you don't deserve attention from women--you are not going to get it.
When you always appear to be in a negative and defensive mode, a woman will assume that you are not open to her and will avoid you without even getting to know you. Work on making your posture and your body language open so that you do seem to be approachable. After all, you don't want to intimidate a woman--you want her to come to you!
Women are very keen to noticing a man's eyes. If your eyes seem friendly and have that ability to "talk" to women, then you will see that they will approach you and start to notice you more often. In case you don't know what to talk about, it's always good to ask her questions and than make a conversation out of it.
Women are very tuned into speech, and they respond to a man who can effectively use words to draw them in. It shows a man of careful thought and one who won't be careless with his woman. Find something unique about her, make her feel good and then steer the conversation toward her interests. When she talks to you, make eye contact and lean forward. Women find men who are interested in what she's saying very attractive.
It's OK to be a nice guy, but keep in mind that being too friendly with women can instantly put you into their friend category, and once your stuck in the FRIENDZONE, they will never pay much attention towards you romantically again. You don't have to be a jerk, but keep an attitude as if you are not trying or maybe you simply don't need to impress her. Let her impress you and make her feel as if she would have to try harder to keep your attention. If you do this confidently, she'll feel compelled by her curiosity to get to know you better.
Women want to notice men, but they put up screens to filter out the guys who don't stand out from the rest of the crowd. Using these tips can help you become the kind of guy that women naturally gravitate towards. But if you use the wrong approach, she might not think about you again at all.

5 Reasons To StaY Single
Reasons to Stay Single
While being married may provide certain benefits, choosing to stay single can keep the door open for many more options and opportunities in your life. Your male independence is something you should never surrender lightly, even if you think you've met the woman of your dreams. So, if you're not sure about taking that long walk down the aisle, here's 5 reasons to stay single.
1. More time to find the right woman
Too many guys rush into unhealthy relationships and get hitched for the wrong reasons, i.e., they've reached a certain age, all of their friends are getting married or they fall for the first woman that shows interest in them. Staying single gives you plenty of time to play the dating game, find your true soul mate (if she even exists) to pop into the picture and avoid the mistake of a lifetime: marrying the wrong woman.
2. Your late nights are all yours
For bachelors, every night is a guy's night out. While guys who are married have to constantly compromise and do what their wives want to do (whether they like it or not), the single man often has more spare time to indulge in impromptu plans that don't include chick flicks and boring book clubs.
3. More time to spend with your friends
Being single is the time to build friendships that can last a lifetime, not put your buddies on the back-burner. When you're single, you're absolutely free to hang out with your friends, party until 2 a.m., and sleep 'till noon. On the other hand, once you get married, you risk losing some of your good friends because she doesn't like them and tells you can no longer hang out with them. Even worse, you gain new friends that you never even wished to have.
4. You can focus on your career
Single men can focus more on their careers to achieve their full potential without draining the tons of energy a permanent relationship entails. Being single allows you remain free to put in extra hours, work on the spare of the moment or do whatever else you need to do to be successful while also being able to spend all the money in your paycheck however you see fit.
5. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want
When you're single, you can go anywhere you want, do anything you want, any time you want without anyone stopping you or asking you why. You can use the shower as long as you want, watch your favorite TV shows, enjoy your personal space and even go to the bathroom with the door open if you choose. You can hang on to that classic sports car, the motorcycle, the boat -- all of which seem to disappear overnight once you get married.
Best of all, you get to enjoy deafening silence when you feel like you need to be alone and not be subjected to a woman's never-ending mood swings, nagging or her blaming you for everything that she screws up in her own life.

10 Signs Of A Healthy Relationship
Understanding what constitutes healthy relationships can help you make changes that lead to new heights of intimacy, happiness and fulfillment.

The Main Problem is People give up too easily and are way too quick to walk away...... It Takes continued growth and maturity.....
1. There is mutual respect between partners
A true sign of a good relationship is mutual respect between partners. It means that you respect each others’ individuality and make the most of your differences.
2. You trust each other
Each partner has faith in the other to be emotionally available when needed and you feel a genuine sense of safety and security in the relationship.
3. You appreciate each other
Both of you feel appreciated in the relationship and neither you or your partner feel unappreciated or taken for granted. You praise each other, offer compliments and use creative ways to show you care.
4. You can be honest with each other
In a healthy relationship, both partners display honesty and integrity from the start and maintain it throughout the course of the relationship. This means being honest in everything, and not telling those little white lies that can lead on to bigger, and more defining lies.
5. You support each other
In a healthy relationship, each person is interested in what the other is doing and there is a balance between giving and taking. Both partners are available for each other in a time of need.
6. You can spend quality time apart
In a healthy relationship, you shouldn't feel suffocated or controlled by your partner. Healthy individuals have their own friends, family members, interests and opinions outside the relationship. This also means letting her have a girls' night or her letting you hang out with your friends.
7. You have a good sex life
You're both okay with how often you have sex, how you have sex, where you have sex...and there's mutual participation. Sex is not withheld as a punishment and both partners feel safe enough to express their sexual desires without worrying that their partner will force them to do things they're uncomfortable with.
8. You manage conflict well
Contrary to what some may think, a healthy relationship doesn't mean you're happy 100 percent of the time. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to resolve your differences without blaming or belittling the other person. Instead of just avoiding arguments, healthy couples know how to handle them when they inevitably do come up.
9. There is good communication
If you are in a healthy balanced relationship, you should be able to listen to your partner and be able to support them without letting your own feelings get in the way. Both partners share details of their daily lives to strengthen their emotional bond and spend time together and learn about each other’s thoughts and ideas.
10. You truly feel happy
In a good relationship, both the partners are happy to be with each other and enjoy the relationship. You laugh with your partner and have fun together. You don’t feel like you are pretending, or that you should be someone other than who you are.

Contrary to what some may think, a healthy relationship doesn't mean you're happy 100 percent of the time. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to resolve your differences without blaming or belittling the other person. Instead of just avoiding arguments, healthy couples know how to handle them when they inevitably do come up.
9. There is good communication
If you are in a healthy balanced relationship, you should be able to listen to your partner and be able to support them without letting your own feelings get in the way. Both partners share details of their daily lives to strengthen their emotional bond and spend time together and learn about each other’s thoughts and ideas.
10. You truly feel happy
In a good relationship, both the partners are happy to be with each other and enjoy the relationship. You laugh with your partner and have fun together. You don’t feel like you are pretending, or that you should be someone other than who you are.

Reasons Why You're Just Friends
Reasons Why You're Just Friends
So you've been trying hard to get close to a girl, and the more time the two of you spend together, the more you realize how much you actually like her. You've gotten really close to her with all the hopes of piquing her sexual interest, but somewhere along the way, you may have taken a few detours that led you right into the friend zone. So why have you ended up as friends instead of her boyfriend? Here’s why.
1. You've never asked for a date
You secretly lust for her, but instead of asking her out, you behave like a friend and never let the girl know that you have more than friendly intentions on your mind. If you like a girl, you have to make it subtly obvious that you're romantically interested in her. If your "friend" does not know you want more, then she cannot give more. Put it on the table and see what happens.
2. You voluntarily became her best friend
You became her romantic counselor, listened to every cry and pity party moment about how her last boyfriend did her wrong. You began doing things her girlfriends do with her to the point she's lost all realization of the fact that you have a package down there. You've become another sexless thing she hangs out with all the time as a platonic friend. You chose to be her shoulder to lean on, knowing you wanted to be her boyfriend all along.
3. You're way too nice and accommodating
You may be a good catch, but you can give a woman too much of yourself too soon. If you're always available for a woman at the drop of a dime, and offer zero challenge to her, you will not spark that base desire within her.
4. She's afraid to take it to the next level
It is sometimes a risk to go from being friends to being "lovers". A woman could value the friendship so much that she fears losing what the two of you have. Your friend will have to work through her fear to change this.
5. She's just not attracted to you
This is the most common scenario. She may find you funny, charming and fun to be with --but she just doesn't feel any sexual chemistry with you. Sometimes it’s just the way it is -- you don’t want to hit the sheets with every woman you meet, do you? If she‘s just not into you, you have a choice to make: Either stay her friend or move on completely.

Being A Challange To Women
Being a Challenge to Women
While most women will admit that they like a man who is a challenge, most guys will ignore this and make mistakes that run women off, i.e., bombarding her with phone calls and text messages, making themselves too available, being overly nice and agreeable ( a wuss) and expressing their feelings early on.
When a man is too available and says yes all the time, there is a good chance a woman won’t like it and see it as a sign of weakness or lack of confidence. If a woman thinks she has you figured out and can get you too easily, she will get bored. By learning to keep mystery in your dating, you'll create a challenge for women and really engage their mind's and emotions.
Creating a challenge for a woman means making yourself important in her eyes by not being too accessible and keeping her waiting--but not too long, or someone else might beat you to her! Feed her a little bit, but keep her curiosity growing and her interest in you will do the same. By doing that you will always keep a woman guessing which is good, because you will always be on her mind.
Have you ever heard the expression about absence making the heart grow fonder? Well, it's true. You have to give her a chance to miss you, and the anticipation alone of meeting you again will make the next meeting between the two of you that much more exciting.
So let her wonder where you are, whom you're with and where you're going, and she will hope to cross paths with you more often than you think. Remember the laws of attraction. Women don't feel attraction for men that are predictable--they feel attraction for men who are a challenge.

Mistakes You Don't Realize You Can Make
While some dating mistakes are obvious, others can be trickier to recognize. In fact, you may not even know you’re making them. So, if you feel as if you are somehow going off track with your relationships, but aren't really sure how, check to see if you are making any of these 5 dating mistakes:
1. Talking about your ex on your dates
Talking about your ex with your dates is never a good move. Women view men that can't stop talking about their ex non-stop as having unresolved frustrations and pent-up bitterness. You don’t need to go into details about each and every past relationship you’ve ever had or how you were wronged during any date. She also doesn’t need to know exact names, dates or all the gross details about you and your ex's sex life.
2. Sharing too much information
Don't give out your resume on the first date. Some of your past is straightforward and can be discussed right then and there; however, the first date is not show and tell time.
3. Having a narrow focus
Always dating the same type of women and expecting different results is a recipe for disaster. Branch out of your dating comfort zone and give a chance to those women you haven’t previously considered (think age, looks, profession, interests). Remember that dating only women that you think of as your type has gotten you exactly where you are right now--single.
4. Expecting too much too soon
Nothing turns a woman off and sends her running away faster than a guy who starts moving too fast and expects instant attraction, love and devotion, or even instant great sex after only one or two dates.
5. Giving up power
Lots of guys try to get women to like them by doing whatever the woman wants; becoming too considerate, too helpful and too kind in an effort to seemingly align their lives with a woman’s wishes. Don't be one of them. Women don't respect pushovers and they don't feel attraction for "nice" guys who always kiss up to them.

8 Type Of Men That Women Avoid Dating
While every woman is looking for something different in a man, there are certain types of men that women go out of their way to avoid. And this is especially true during the early stages of a relationship, when a woman is trying to gauge a man's personality. Below are eight types of guys that women consistently stay away from.
1. The Financially Irresponsible Guy
A huge red flag is a financially irresponsible man with bad credit who's constantly buying things he does not need, overdrawing his bank account(s) and maxing out credit cards. Most women don't want to deal with a guy who can't seem to rustle up enough money for a latte, pay their bills on time, or spend his money wisely.
2. The Man-Child
This guy is clinging to his glory days when life was less complicated and responsibility was minimal. He’s obsessed with video games, frequently attends keg parties and considers Pizza Rolls one of the major food groups. These men are the ones who can’t keep a job, blame everyone else for their own stupidity and laziness, and are constantly outraged that the world is not giving them respect.
3. The Narcissistic Guy
One type of attitude guys have that women avoid is being too narcissistic and self-contained. Most women feel that this type of guy is obsessed with himself and would rather spend his time toning his muscles and looking good than on a date with them.
4. The Needy Guy
Women are not attracted to the type of man who needs too much support, validation, and constant reinforcement. The moment a man becomes too insecure and dependent in a relationship, a woman will run for the hills.
5. The Wandering-Eye Guy
This type of man can be the most aggravating for women to deal with because he's constantly looking at every female but the one he’s with. He makes inappropriate comments/gestures about women, ogles the bartender, the woman at the grocery store, even his best friend's wife, making the woman he's with feel inferior and unattractive.
6. The Predictable Guy
Women don't like the routine driven guy who does not like change, lacks spontaneity, and is predictable in all areas of his life from how he will react to situations, decisions he will make, the sex he will have, and the dates he will go on.
7. The Liar
This guy fabricates stories about about pretty much anything in hopes of getting laid instead of just being honest about his life or his desire for a casual fling. While the little white lies about past conquests, jobs, exes, qualifications, and experiences may seem harmless, most women don't want to deal with a guy who can't or won't tell the truth.
8. The Desperate Guy
The desperate man may have a strong want and desire to have a relationship; however, due to having little experience in the romance and dating department, his behaviors can indicate low-self esteem and a host of other issues that turn women off and can actually be viewed as creepy and disturbing.
"Top 5 Relationship Killers"
Top 5 Relationship Killers...... And really need to be taken into consideration, because this can really be the difference between a relationship that is set up for failure and a relationship that is built with a solid foundation.....
Once you've found a great girlfriend, the last thing you want to do is lose her through a bad misstep. No one can list all the potential things that can destroy a relationship, but we can give you a heads up on the most likely causes of a breakup with these 5 relationship killers.
1. Cheating
Cheating is the ultimate relationship killer because once someone has cheated, regaining full trust is next to impossible. The initial betrayal of finding out that a partner has strayed is often enough to leave a relationship dead, and even if a couple does try to work past the cheating, the majority of couples won't survive.
2. Always placing your career before her
Your girlfriend is likely very proud of your career success and appreciates being with an ambitious man; however, she also expects you to make time for her. If you stay late at work every night, cancel dates for last-minute business meetings, or if you choose to constantly spend time with your co-workers after work, she will come to her own conclusions about your priorities.
3. Letting Yourself Go
If your girlfriend was attracted to you when you were wearing Italian suits, chances are that's what she likes, and she may not be attracted to you if you begin wearing nothing but holey sweatpants and football jerseys. Letting yourself go tells your girlfriend that she's not important enough for you to maintain your appearance and you were just putting on a facade to attract her.
4. Not making enough time for her
If you want to keep your girlfriend around, you have to find ways to make her feel special and important. You're not a bachelor anymore, so you will have to give up time watching the game with your pals in order to spend time with together with the lady in your life. Remember, if you don't pay attention to her, a lot of other men will.
5. Being controlling
People hate to have their freedoms limited by another person or persons. Controlling behavior such as blaming, anger, rage, violence, judgment, criticism and ridicule almost always results in resentment and emotional distance.
