How To Tell If A Girl Likes You For You Or Just Your Money

love or money

It is of the utmost importance that you figure out how to tell if a girl likes you for you… or just your money. Honestly, it isn’t that difficult if you open your eyes and pay attention. Now, if you’re paid like the Donald Trumps of the world, you can afford to have a string of gold diggers that really like you for your “personality.” If, however, you’re making $11.75 an hour doing customer service, a gold digger won’t have too far to dig before she breaks your bank. To avoid cancer of the wallet and the death of your pockets, here’s how to tell if a chick is feeling you or reaching for your bread.

Her conduct. When a girl likes you, she’s more wrapped up in seeing you, not where she’ll see you. Get it? If she’s constantly asking you “Where are you taking me?” she probably isn’t into you. She’s into what you can do for her. If, however, she wants to know when you’re spending time together, not necessarily where, then she likes you. Now, this doesn’t mean you should be a cheap-ass all of the time, but watch her conduct when you are. She should be just as happy at a sandwich shop as she would at a five star restaurant… as long as she’s with you.

Her suggestions. Everybody likes to go to nice places and to have nice things, but if she suggests that you go to expensive restaurants all the time and doesn’t at least offer to pay, it’s because she knows you can afford it. She’s become accustomed to you forking out bread for her. Here’s a test for you: next time she suggests an overpriced place to go, see if she also suggests even footing half the bill… just half. If not, you’ve got yourself a full fledged miner, equipped with a pick ax, shovel and bucket.

Gift giving. If you haven’t found a sign of her gold digging ways, the monster shall be revealed here. If she’s accustomed to you putting your piggy bank in a guillotine to buy her gifts for her birthday and Christmas try this out. Get her something considerably much cheaper with more of a sentimental value. If she ignores the sentiment and asks, “What else did you get me?” you’ve got yourself a leech. She may need to be surgically removed from your credit card. People say it’s the thought that counts, right? So what does it mean she’s thinking when you give her a gift that isn’t good enough?

One-sided relationship. You are not supposed to give gifts, be nice or do things for others for some sort of reciprocity. You’re supposed to do things from the goodness of your heart. But this works both ways, brother. If all you do is give, give, give, and she ain’t giving back and just keeps her diamond-clad hand (all thanks to you) extended in a receiving position, get her lost fast. She’s not in to you and you should not feel bad about letting her go. Let that vampire find another dumb schmuck to suck dry.

Woman Faces Jail For Having Sex In A Taxi


A British businesswoman faces up to three years in jail for allegedly having sex in a taxi in Dubai while she was drunk.

Rebecca Blake, 29, and Conor McRedmond were arrested after an all-day drinking binge.

They were held for five days and accused of having sex outside marriage and being drunk in a public place – both criminal offences in the strict Islamic state.

Miss Blake, a recruitment consultant, met Irishman Mr McRedmond at The Irish Village, a hotel bar where patrons pay £10 a head for an all-you-can-drink brunch event. After drinking for 12 hours, the pair hailed a cab towards Dubai Marina.

Minutes later they were spotted in a passionate embrace by the driver in his rear view mirror, according to police reports.

Incensed by their behavior, the driver stopped and complained to police in a patrol car parked nearby. When he returned with an officer, they saw Miss Blake having sex on the back seat of the cab with Mr McRedmond, it is alleged.

A source said: ‘They were completely drunk, started kissing and then got carried away. That’s when they started having sex.

‘When the police officer went over, he found the woman was completely naked and they were having sex on the back seat.’

Miss Blake works for global recruitment firm Manpower in Dubai. She is from Croydon, South London, and was educated at her local Catholic high school.

After their arrest the pair were taken to the nearby Jebel Ali police station and held in custody from May 4 to May 9. Police took DNA samples to provide evidence that they had had sex and had been drinking.

Officers are waiting for the results to come back from the forensic laboratory before they send the pair to court. They were released on bail only when two separate friends acted as guarantors and handed over their passports.

Miss Blake was bailed after a surety was paid by company manager Rowley Rees Brown, 42, a friend who lives in Dubai.

Mr McRedmond, who is thought to work for an engineering firm, also denies the charges. Those convicted of having sex outside marriage face a sentence of between one month and three years under Dubai law.

Consumption of alcohol is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to £340. Foreigners jailed in Dubai are deported immediately after completing their sentences.

The Five Steps Of A Breast Self Examination




Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.

Here's what you should look for:
• Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color
• Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling

If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your doctor's attention:
• Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
• A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out)
• Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling

Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes

Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).

Step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a circular motion, about the size of a quarter.

Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.

Follow a pattern to be sure that you cover the whole breast. You can begin at the nipple, moving in larger and larger circles until you reach the outer edge of the breast. You can also move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, as if you were mowing a lawn. This up-and-down approach seems to work best for most women. Be sure to feel all the tissue from the front to the back of your breasts: for the skin and tissue just beneath, use light pressure; use medium pressure for tissue in the middle of your breasts; use firm pressure for the deep tissue in the back. When you've reached the deep tissue, you should be able to feel down to your rib cage.

Step 5: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in Step 4.

Bawumia’s Lecture Portrayed Him As Someone At The Level Of NPP Serial Callers - Pratt

Kwesi Pratt Jnr

Managing Editor of the Insightnewspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr., has posited that the "State of the Economy" lecture delivered by Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is comparable to the many comments passed by serial callers of the party on radio.

According to him, the NPP has done a great disservice to their running mate by offering him such a platform, since it has “ended up portraying him (Bawumia) as somebody without new ideas and who at best is at the level of the NPP serial callers.”

The NPP Vice-Presidential candidate, at the 5th Ferdinard Ayim Memorial Lectures in Accra, outlined the various economic opportunities which according to him, have placed the current administration in favourable stead to improve the conditions of the ordinary Ghanaian.

The Economist guru, among other issues, argued that although inflation could be a measurement issue, the established relationships between inflation and key economic variables appeared to have gone missing for now.

Taking the packed auditorium filled with members of civil society, supporters of the NPP, media practitioners and various other observers through a concise analysis of the Ghanaian economy, Dr. Bawumia took his time to deflate the much touted single digit inflation talk of the ruling National Democratic Congress.

He pointed out that while inflation was said to be in single digits, it had no correlation to the cost of commodities in the markets, general cost of living, the interest rates and also the exchange rates of the Ghana cedi.

Dr. Bawumia mentioned the prices of basic commodities such as Gari, Maize, Pure Water, Cement as well as prices of fuel products and tariffs of water and electricity, school fees, road tolls etc. which had all seen triple digit increases and quizzed why the much talked about single digit inflation was not reflecting on the ground.

DR Bawumia

But speaking as a panelist on Radio Gold’s Ahaji and Alhajiprogramme, Kwesi Pratt felt Dr. Bawumia could have done better than reiterating what the numerous serial callers have been bandying about.

To him, Dr. Bawumia’s lecture on the economy brought nothing new and feels saddened that such a fine “gentleman” has “found himself reduced to this level”.

“Whoever thought of the enterprise of putting Dr. Bawumia behind the microphone to deliver a public lecture which will shore up his image has done Dr Bawumia an irreparable damage. This is because, this lecture has ended up portraying Dr. Bawumia as somebody without new ideas and who at best is at the level of the NPP serial callers. Dr. Bawumia’s address did not bring out anything new. All that he did was to repeat what the serial callers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been saying for the past three and half years….the serial callers often say: inflation has gone down, but it is not reflecting in our pockets, they say inflation has gone down but if you look at the market prices are rising, nothing has happened in the economic realm worthy of applause and indeed you can sum up Dr. Bawumia’s address as exactly what the NPP serial callers have been saying… I feel sad that a gentleman like Dr. Bawumia found himself reduced to this level…” Kwesi Pratt said.

Are you in love with two people?




Are you in love with two people at the same time?


Have you ever found yourself falling for someone when you’re already in a committed relationship?

Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time? If you have, you aren’t alone.

While it may infuriate your partner or seem morally unethical, falling in love with two people is as simple as falling in love with one person.

It’s no different, and it really shouldn’t be. After all, love is an emotion that can be experienced when the symptoms are right.

You like someone a lot, you find them attractive, and you’re sexually excited to be with them, and bam! You fall in love.

Now you meet someone else. You find them attractive, and you’re sexually excited to be with them, and bam again! You fall in love again with a new person!

Are you in love with two people?

It’s ridiculous to assume you can’t fall in love with two people.

Many teenagers and even lovers in committed relationships feel threatened when they find themselves in love with two people.

Relax. You really don’t love your partner any less just because you find yourself falling in love with someone new.

I remember experiencing the same conflicting feelings a few years ago while I was in a relationship with my boyfriend (now ex!). He had to travel to conduct his research for a year and a half, and there I was, all alone and waiting for him to return. And incidentally, I met another guy whom I really liked. And he liked me too.

A month later, I was madly in love with this new guy I had met. But then again, I was still in love with my own boyfriend too. So there I was, confused and deliriously happy. I was in love with two people and I was ecstatic with the fact that I had two people who loved me back!

But I didn’t ever assume I was in love with two people, I just knew I was cheating on both of them. I felt like a wily temptress who was luring single men into her bed. At that point of time in my life, I couldn’t accept that anyone could ever fall in love with two people at the same time. It just seemed wrong.

But when I look back, I wasn’t doing anything wrong. It could happen to anybody.

Can a person fall in love with two people at the same time?

The answer is simple, yes, you can.

But the bigger question is, do you want to?

Falling in love with two people and holding both of them close to your bosom is not as easy as it sounds. At the same time, love is not and has never been a once in a lifetime experience. You fall in love with different people in different ways. And at times, you end up feeling romantically excited towards two different people at the same time.

While falling in love with someone is inevitable, it’s still in your control to pursue it or let it go. If you really want to, you can avoid falling in love with a second person by simply taking a step back and putting a stop to the flirty conversations and the sneaky dates. The feelings of love and lust may linger for a while and fade away, and the best part is that it won’t emotionally confuse and torment you.

How do we end up falling in love with two people?

As I’ve mentioned earlier, falling in love is not an exclusive and unique emotion that never repeats itself. But that being said, it’s not really easy to fall in love with two people at the same time.

It’s always easier to fall for someone else when you’re already in a later stage of love with your present partner. When you’re in two different stages of love, the emotions you experience don’t contradict each other. And it’s two unique experiences that come together at once.

You may be passionately in love for the first few months with your partner, but mature love is very different from the passionate fiery love you experience at the beginning of a relationship. So when you experience the same fiery passion with someone else, it’s easy to experience both stages of love at once.

Don’t compare your lovers

Most people who fall in love with someone new start comparing their new flame to their older lover. And almost always, they assume the new lover is sexier, more loving and more caring. But is that really true?

Remember, sexual passion may fizzle out as the years go by, but true love matures into a happy relationship. On the other hand, a new lover may excite you and remind you of your earlier years in love, but you have to realize that the lusty excitement of the new secret relationship will only last for a few months or a few years. So if you ever have to compare your lovers, compare them for the compatibility instead of the passion. After all, there are always ways to bring back the sexual chemistry even in an older relationship.

The problems of being in love with two people

As a society, we’re not ready to fall in love with two people at the same time. And that’s the biggest problem there is. You may truly love someone other than your partner, but it’s always looked at as an illicit affair, not a budding romance.

So the best way to deal with the problem of being romantically involved with two people is to walk away from one person. It’s hard, but it is still the best way out.

But if you do want to have two lovers and can’t imagine parting with any of them, here are a few things you need to think about and work your way around it.

# Would you partner accept it?

If you want to be in love with two people at the same time, you have to let both your partners know about it. Do you think your partner would have the emotional maturity and strength to accept your choice?

# Jealousy in love

You may try to balance your love life with two partners and make sure you give both your lovers equal attention, but can you ensure that one of your partners will not end up feeling jealous about the other?

# Would your partner want to get even?

Let’s face it. You have two lovers, and you get to have twice the fun all the time. What would you do if your partner wants to get even and tries to have a sexual relationship with someone else just to satiate their bruised ego?

# Morally unethical

When you share your bed with two lovers, it’s not something that’s morally accepted. Can you deal with that?

I have a friend who’s immigrated to the United States from a little community in Tibet where polyandry (a woman has multiple husbands) is actively practiced. She has two fathers and she has no idea who her biological father is, and since she’s given equal parental love from both the men, she has no intention of ever wanting to know who her real father is. While such forms of love are commonly accepted without any psychological effects in some scenarios, it can lead to confusing relationships in other cases over the long term.

What to do when you’re in love with two people?

The answer is subjective, but simple. Do what you feel is right. It can’t get easier than that. In most cases, the best possible way to deal with falling in love with two people would be to break away from one relationship and live happily with the other.

And if it’s just a little crush we’re talking about, then perhaps, you don’t need to confuse yourself over your emotions. Crushes come and go, and even if it does turn serious, you always have the option of walking away from a new prospective lover if you must.

Ask me and I’d tell you one thing. Love is complicated, and it’s easier to be in love with one person, whoever you may pick. Pick two and you’ve just doubled your complications. So unless you really have no choice, try not to fall in love with two people at the same time!

So are you in love with two people at the same time? How are you dealing with it? Or what are the consequences of it? Share your stories here.

How To Keep A Long Distance Relationship




Challenging and difficult, though they may not be what we want to hear, are the words that best describe long distance relationships. Keep in mind however, that the words are challenging and difficult, not impossible.

Many people choose to give a long distance relationship a try, with the constant curiosity if it was the right decision to make and if it even stands a chance. The truth is, a long distance relationship has just as much a chance of succeeding as any other relationship!

Before you give up on fanning the flames of your long-distance romance, consider employing these strategies to keep your long-distance love hot.

The first step is to make an agreement of what your expectations are in the relationship and how much of a commitment you are willing to give and receive. If the two of you decide to be monogamous, then it is clear that neither of you will be dating anyone else as long as your romantic relationship exists. Being clear about what you both want is extremely important, especially in a long distance relationship, in order to prevent future misunderstandings and mistakes. Do not feel afraid to tell your partner what you really need and want from him or her, you deserve the chance to speak from your heart and he or she deserves to know the truth and judge whether they can give it to you.

Whether it’s by phone, email, or, better yet, Skype, you and your mate must openly communicate about and mutually agree upon the ground rules and terms of your relationship.

2. Discuss a mutually agreed-upon end goal for your relationship. In order for a long-distance relationship to survive, both parties need to feel that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. When setting your end goal, make sure it’s one you both understand and on which you both agree. “Never establish an end goal thinking or hoping that you will change your partner’s mind along the way. Thinking or hoping your partner will move back or propose, for example, only sets you up for disappointment and resentful feelings.”

3. Avoid excessive communicating. While speaking to your partner every day may feel like the best way to stay close, Lorraine actually cautions against such frequent chat-fests. “I recommend having only one scheduled hour (or longer) phone call a week,” she explains. “By doing this, you’ll have more exciting updates to share and you’ll be much more excited and enthusiastic to talk to each other because you’ve been anticipating that phone date all week.” If one hour a week sounds too little to comprehend — and, if we’re being honest, it does to us! — at the very least try giving yourself a day in between calls. Less-frequent communication will not only keep you from growing dependent on each other, but also will provide you both with the freedom to grow independently and have your own lives and hobbies.

4. Alternate visits on each other’s turfs. Whenever possible, try to keep the efforts you both put forth traveling to see each other equal, ideally alternating visits to each other’s places. “This plan ensures you will spend the same amount of time becoming parts of each other’s lives and getting to know each other’s friends,” she explains. “If one person is doing all the traveling, this can not only create an unhealthy and unbalanced relationship, but it can also lead to a partner’s resentment.” If you’re lucky enough to be able to visit each other, make the most of it and do it in equal amounts!





5. Keep it sexy and spicy. Because time together is rare, when you do see each other, take as much advantage as possible of your ability to get intimate with each other. “Make sure your roommates or friends know your partner is going to be in town and keep the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign up!” Lorraine suggests. During those stretches when you can’t be with each other physically, use it as an opportunity to write a few old-fashioned love letter. Another idea: use technology to go on “dates” together. For example, watch the same movie at the same time and discuss on the phone after. Or make dinner and then eat together via Skype. There’s no reason to miss out on some of the better parts of dating completely just because you’re not physically together.

6. Live your life! One of the keys to surviving a long-distance relationship is to make sure you maintain your life, friendships and interests when your partner is away. For Anna and Jacob, their obsessive focus on finding a way to be together doesn’t allow them much time to cultivate other relationships and friendships. “Many people in long-distance relationships have their whole lives wrapped up in their partner, which leaves them terribly depressed when the partner leaves,” Lorraine notes. “This dependency stunts your personal growth, which will later take its toll on your relationship.” To ensure that you don’t lose sight of your goals and your life, use your separation as an opportunity to focus on your career or schooling without distraction and take advantage of your time away from your partner to develop strong friendships. “Being in a long-distance relationship actually offers a wonderful benefit that a close physical relationship does not: you can both continue to grow and richen your lives independently of each other while still being in a partnership,” Lorraine asserts. “If handled correctly, each partner can become much more productive and well-developed, and will have more to bring to the relationship in the end.”

Di Matteo 'honoured' after FA Cup triumph: Players made Chelsea proud




Roberto Di Matteo feels “honoured” to have won the FA Cup with Chelsea as both a player and a manager, hailing his squad for doing the club proud in beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley.
Ramires and Didier Drogba scored for the Blues as they secured the trophy for their interim boss, who had previously tasted success in the competition on the pitch in 1997 and 2000.

“It’s quite a unique situation to win [it] as a player and to be able to coach the team and win it as well, so I feel honoured to have [had] this chance,” Di Matteo told ITV after the match.

“I’m very happy for the players. We’ve been heavily criticised this season but we’ve got a trophy and we still have a chance for another one so it’s been a weird season, but the players have done the club proud.

“It’s been hard work for us but here we came through it. I think we played well, we deserved [to win]. We scored two very good goals, we didn’t concede too much.

“They pressed us hard in the second half but I think we defended well against that.”

Liverpool had appealed for an equaliser when Andy Carroll’s header was judged to have been saved just before crossing the line by Petr Cech, but the Italian deferred to the officials’ call.

“I looked at the linesman and the linesman never showed that it was in, so for me it wasn’t a goal,” he added.

The triumph means that Chelsea could do a double if they beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on May 19, however, Di Matteo refused to look too far ahead.

“We still have two Premier League games to play first and these could be vital for us, depending on the results, so we’ll do these and then we’ll focus on Munich,” the 41-year-old stated.

Asked by ESPN if winning felt better as a manager, he mused: “It's very exciting. The emotions, the game as well had ups and downs.

“We had a nice two-goal lead and we deserved it as well but they did very well in the second half to get back into the game and it was a bit nervy towards the end with that scoreline, but we managed to get it over the line.”

Ways To Be More Confident In Bed

 


Confidence in the bedroom is of the utmost importance. A ball player with a huge bat means absolutely nothing if he doesn’t have the confidence to swing it. But how does one gain that needed confidence in the bedroom to knock that booty out of the park? Well, it doesn’t start with a penis pep talk in the mirror. It also doesn’t start by watching over the top porn scenes. These five ways to be more confident in bed are probably roads that you haven’t traveled, but you will. You will. Here’s how to be more confident in bed. “Thank yous” aren’t necessary.

Masturbation. Who would’ve thought that spanking that particular simian between your legs could help with confidence in the bedroom? It does, and here’s how. Self exploration is the best way to figure out exactly what sort of stuff you can handle in the bedroom. If you don’t have any confidence because you don’t think you last long enough in the sack, experiment on yourself. Pay attention the next time you choke that chicken. Make note of your more sensitive areas. Now take this new knowledge and apply it to the bedroom. Stay away from positions that get you too excited too fast or mix and match. This way, you won’t have to worry about coming too quickly because you can always fall back on positions you excel at.

Do your prep work. A lot of you men don’t understand the importance of foreplay. Yeah, yeah, you all know what it is, but you don’t fully understand the power of a good foreplay session. Most of you just give enough foreplay to get her ”ready”. Foreplay is not just for preparing the runway for your jet to land. Foreplay is the time for you to fully explore her body. It’s the time for you to find out how to stimulate her with things other than your penis. It’s the time to fondle, suck and caress every single nook and cranny on her body. Great foreplay can be just as satisfying as a good sex session. Imagine how confident you’ll feel if your lady comes multiple times before you even put your mouth on her or your penis in her? Up your foreplay game.

Mistakes Men Make When Approaching Women




Guys make mistakes, and they definitely make mistakes when it comes to women. If it were only seven, guys wouldn’t be that bad off, but here are seven mistakes of a more grand fashion that men make when approaching women. Pay attention. You probably do it, too. These so-called social snafus may not be what you think.

The root mistake. The first and most universal of mistakes that men make is more of an internal error then an external slip up. It is, however, the foundation of the multitude of errors guys make subsequently. You assume that a woman’s mind is like a video game. What that means is you assume that there’s some cryptic mental “cheat code” that can be used that will give you total access to every woman’s brain. You are actually subconsciously chauvinistic enough to believe women are such a homogenous group that each member will react with comparable responses to your advances. In your minds, you’ve devolved women from the complex creatures they are into one-dimensional objects to be conquered. In short, you think you can do the same thing with all women to bag them.

Planning Conversation. Yes, planning conversation. Guys try to plan how a conversation with a new girl will go before they approach her. When the conversation doesn’t go as planned, men will freeze up and not know what to do. Why not listen to her and respond, actually having a real conversation? You’ll get a lot further than following a script she doesn’t even know about.

Bad presentation. Unless you’re at the gym, you have no excuse to look disheveled when approaching women. Here’s a hint: women check you out before you even know they’re doing it, so you might want to make sure your hair is combed, and your teeth aren’t a ghastly yellow color. Oh, and your shoe game has to be on point. Seriously, women look at shoes.
