Phone Obsession

Have you ever found yourself sitting by the phone waiting in anticipation for him or her to call? Maybe it's this cute guy you met randomly who asked for your number. Or maybe it's your girlfriend who calls almost everyday and today it seems out of rhythm. Maybe it's your ex who you long to hear from. Whoever it is, stop doing it.

I, myself, am still guilty of staring at my phone waiting for it to vibrate or some red light to go off. I figure it's time to find a new attachment. There's no use sitting by the phone, if it rings, it rings. If it doesn't, we move on or we determine the moves.

Is He/She Passionate?

Is your significant other or prospective one not only passionate about the connection you two have between each other, but passionate about life as well? And everything that goes along with it?

This quality is probably one of the prerequisites I need in a person to be able to connect with them deeply. I don't know about you but I love it when guys can sing or play music in general.

Exhibit A: This absolutely melts my heart.

Exhibit B: Melting my heart time and time again.

And then there are other guys who are passionate about sports and are dam good at it.

What about other intangible qualities like being passionate to save the world from its misery or something?

This may be inductive reasoning, and correct me if I'm wrong, but if he/she is not passionate about anything else, it will be very hard for he/she to be passionate about your relationship with him/her.

Long Distance Relationship Survival

There umteen amounts of articles and how-tos to make a long distance relationship work. There are step-by-steps and all-too-many suggestions on what to do to instil longevity in relationships.

Here are four suggestions that I found worked in my experience:

1. Choice: You make the choice to be with one another despite distance.
2. Communication: Phone calls, emails, messages, surprise visits really fill in the gaps in a relationship that distance now fills.
3. Free Time / Holidays: Take time out of your schedule and take time to regularly visit one another during weekends and holidays to catch up.
4. End Date: Decide when this long distance relationship is gonna end and when you guys will move to the same city, move-in, etc.

Message me or comment if you guys have any additional suggestions! :)

Absence is to love as wind is to fire;
It extinguishes the small and kindles the great.

High Expectations (cont.)

Stuart suggested I do a FIVE reasons why we girls and guys should be satisfied with our partner, even if they aren't as 'romantical' (hehe) as Edward Cullen from Twilight.

1. Movies and novels are fictional for a reason. Enough said.
2. You wouldn't want people to take pointers from movies anyways. (re: Prince Charming?)
3. There are so many things that go on in our daily lives that some people don't have time to concoct love potions or draft a crazy plan to make you fall in love with them each and everyday.
4. Everyone loves and cares for someone in their own way. If everyone did or said the same things a fictional vampire would do, it would be too predictable and there would be no spunk in a relationship.
5. When you check out the Five Love Languages, you will look at your relationship differently and finally, be satisfied.
