Dear 'Niralanders'
We have been getting a lot of calls about NCC banning the use of SMS for political campaign but we are only aware of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) shutting down the 35350 SMS platform for raising fund. Is there any other news that we are not aware of? Please share.

Everyday people get sacked, retrenched or whatever name is used to show when someone no longer has a job. Many can relate to how irritating and depressing it feels to suddenly wake up and find oneself out of a job.

Losing your job (for any reason) isn’t always the best of experiences. While getting relieved of your job is a big issue the single most important factor to your growth in this case is how you react to getting the pink slip.

Here we explore 6 things you should do when you find yourself out of a job. These are tips to get you prepared for the next phase of your life and ensure that the setback of losing your job doesn’t derail your career growth and personal success.

Don’t Panic: It’s Not the End of the World

Yes, losing your job is stressful and puts paid to an immediate source of income but one thing you shouldn’t do is let anxiety overcome you. There are always options available when this happens. You just have to keep a cool head and plan your way out of the situation.

You will not be able to make headway if you don’t have a clear head and an open mind.

A calm head can even help you gain some positives from the negative process of losing your job as this brief story shows; A woman who just lost her job instead of letting anger take hold of her sat down instead in her office and used her last hour to type a very persuasive letter to the HR Head showing why she deserved 3 months instead of 2 weeks severance pay. She got paid 3 months severance! That was extra funds for her to go with while hunting for a new job.

Take Stock

That time when you lose your job is the time to pause and take a critical look at the state of your affairs.

What is your financial situation like?
Do you have enough savings to last you a few months while you get your acts together?

This is probably the time when you bad saving habits catch up with you if you have very little to survive on.

Taking stock of your financial and career situation will help you determine which options are open for you to pursue.

Explore Your Options

When you lose your job in your 20′s it is a very different ball game to when you find yourself out of a job in your 50′s. Factors like age, financial status, personal ambition (maybe you’ve been nursing the dream to set up your own business venture) etc can all play a part in deciding the options you may follow.

Age may not be on your side and as a result more viable options open to you may be self employment or starting a business.

You need to sit and look at possible options open to you to pick up your life and get on with it.

Dust Up Your CV

If you feel you still got a chance to try your hand at another job then it’s time to take a look at that CV. If you are like most people who were relatively comfortable in their last job your CV is probably in a neglected state; no updates on achievements and educational qualifications etc.

Take a look at that CV once again and give it a good polishing. You can try some expert help with re-writing your CV.

Hone Your Skills and Identify other Possible Organisations to Work For

Depending on your career path you will need to identify current and useful skills you will need to acquire, or improve on to brighten your chances at the job search market.

Also depending on your level of career progression your job search should now be a bit more targeted. This means you have some idea of the possible organisations you will be aiming to work for. This of course is based on relevance to your specialisation. Getting the specifics will help you do the next thing you need to do to get a job offer (aside from searching online)

Network Strategically (offline and online)

Your network most times indicate how quickly your career path rises. Networking doesn’t mean harassing anybody you meet asking them to give you a job. It is rather a smart engaging of relevant people towards availing yourself of every opportunity for career advancement. Below are a few tips on networking you can use;

- Reach out to new contacts to introduce yourself and ask them if they have time to talk with you about their career path
- Always ask new contacts interesting questions about their career path; Don’t let the focus be on you at first
- Ask for advice, don’t ask for a job. They will know you are looking and if they can and want to help in this way they will
- Ask if they know anyone else you can contact
- Networking is about engaging your existing contacts as well as cultivating new relationships
- Follow up. Follow their advice. Send Thank you notes.

Dear Graduate,

I stumbledupon this and decided to share.

Now you are out of school and probably through with serving your fatherland I want to talk to you about how you can embark on a successful career for yourself. You probably didn’t know much or care much about the future when you were in school. The parties, football games, flirting and maybe the night jacking were all that occupied your time.

I don’t know if you prepared for your intended career or if you even have an idea of what you want to do with your life right now. This piece is not to dwell on that but to point out what you can do to start an illustrious career for yourself.

What Do You Want to Do?

All achievers in life must take a couple of minutes each day to remind themselves of what exactly it is they want to achieve or do with their life. If you want to join the elite you must sit down and reflect and articulate your plans. You are no more a kid, hope you know. From now on you think for yourself!
Do you have the entrepreneurial spirit? Do you just want to have an illustrious engineering career? Find out what exactly it is then

How Do You Intend to Start?

Your career goal determines how you develop a plan. If you want to run your own business, start an internet or offline company, be a self employed professional you will have to decide on issues like fundraising and getting the skills you require. If you have relatives, friends and parents who can give you the seed fund you need good for you but remember you will need a simple straightforward plan on how you intend to grow your idea to good levels of profitability. If you have no one to rely on for funds you may look at the option of getting a job, working several years and saving towards your ultimate goal.

If you instead wish to get a job in a field of your choice and build a long, illustrious career therein you will need to identify the job options you want to pursue. What skills and attributes will you need to pursue a successful career in those fields? Start a rigouruos self improvement regime and use all the smart job search ideas we have been talking about here.

AARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! Why did FH have to finish nah!!! I was just beginning to enjoy today's episode. Juan Marcos has finally seen Angela aka Milagros. Sometimes i feel Lorena isn't really preggos. She moves around too easily. Always wants to drink alcohol till someone reminds her that shes pregnant. So Camilo was arrested today. But why Miguel didn't tell Duval that Camilo was Luis.... Hmmmm... Bernardo is a very interesting character. Still taunting Fernanda while shes down. But still both of them can't do without each other. Miguel on the other hand won't last with Alex. She's too much of a loose head. Now she has OD'd. I hope he finds someone better.

I swear you just read my mind, btw that Nicholas is just a silly boy, trying to feel like he can make decisions, and i dont even get it, Angela(Milagros) knows shes a fugitive so why does she keep going out and she has forgotten about Nora sharp sharp. That Duval after all his good at my job bullshit, so he actually covered up his own secret.

When you make a mistake at work, how you handle its immediate aftermath can often overshadow the mistake itself.
First, here's what not to do:

1. Don't hope that if you act like it wasn't a big deal, your boss might think it wasn't a big deal either. This strategy will actually compound the damage: Your boss will be far more alarmed that you don't really care that you made a mistake than she will be by the mistake itself. Rather than making the mistake less noticeable, what will really stand out is that you're not taking responsibility for it.

2. Don't try to cover it up. If your boss finds out later on that you hid a problem from her, you will have a permanent credibility problem—as well as a boss who may feel compelled to poke around to find out what else you might not be telling her about.

3. Don't make excuses or be defensive. This almost guarantees your boss will respond badly.

When you make a mistake at work, how you handle it can often say much more about you than the mistake itself.

Reasonable bosses understand that no one is perfect and mistakes will occasionally happen — what they care about is how you follow up on that mistake. As it happens, there’s a pretty foolproof formula for handling it well. If you follow this formula (and have a reasonable boss), you’ll likely be surprised at how well he or she responds.

Here’s the formula:

1. Tell your boss what happened — immediately. Do not put it off out of fear. I will be far more upset if time is allowed to pass before I’m informed. Delaying sends the message that you value your own comfort over the needs of your work.

2. Take responsibility for it. Don’t make excuses, and don’t be defensive. Use words like: "I really screwed this up. I'm sorry." In fact, the more concerned you seem, the less likely she is to feel she needs to impress the severity on you. After all, if you proactively show that you get it, there's no need for her to underscore it.

3. Tell me how it happened. Not only do I want to know, I want to know that you know.

4. Most importantly, explain how you plan to ensure it doesn’t happen again. If you don't understand how it happened, you're not well equipped to keep it from happening again.

This formula works because when someone makes a mistake, what a boss needs to do is make sure that the person understands the seriousness of it and knows how to avoid it in the future. If you take the initiative to cover those things yourself, then your boss doesn’t need to do it herself (and having your boss impress upon you how serious a mistake was tends to be much less pleasant than saying it yourself). You're going to make mistakes from time to time, and any halfway human boss knows that. As long as your mistakes remain occasional and not constant, what matters most is how you handle them.

In other words, do your boss’ job for her — eliminate the need for her to reprimand you by reprimanding yourself.

Why don’t more people realize this? and yes I used a 'SHE' as the Boss.

Btw, Emma is beginning to wear that playsuit on a reg o. shes just changing the belt. Please someone shd take away ofelias pink n blue sweatshirt abeg.

FH- OH Wiiiiiiiilly(in Lorena's voice) i love the way he was yesterday, the way he was hitting that useless Boss and the way he shouted at that motherfucking Nicholas, such a stupid boy, he say how willy was suffering and still kept quiet about their relationship. Nora is just a fool, thinking fernanda will calm down. I love Emma and Pablo.........too cute. Lorena should be dullin herself there as Second choice. Angela and Gus dnt look so bad together. Ofelia should just die already, she is the worst of all villains, she knows all the secrets and just bottles everything up in her butt.

Who is the “Other Woman?" Does she work close with your guy? Or is she just like you, your girlfriend or neighbor? Find out how they end up in these short-end-of-the-stick relationships...

These are 8 signs to know that you are the 'Other Woman'
1. YOUR DATES ARE IN SECRETIVE LOCATIONS:
A good indicator that you’re the other #woman in his life is if all of your dates are in odd places. Also, does he accompany you to places like the mall. If he always has excuses as to why he can’t go certain places, he might be trying to avoid being seen with you. This might be one of the #signs you’re the other woman.

2. HIS PHONE CALLS ARE PRIVATE

Another sign that you’re the other woman is if your #man always leaves the room to take his phone calls. Sure, we get private calls every now and then but not all the #time! If he can’t answer his calls in front of you, he’s likely talking to his #girlfriend or wife and trying to avoid any trouble from her and you. Another sign is if he always has to call you back or he’s always unreachable. He's probably at home with his #woman and has to call you back when it’s more convenient for him.


3. YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIS PLACE

A big red flag warning that you’re the other woman is if he always comes to your place and you’ve never even seen his house. If a #guy is really into you, he’s going to eventually take you to his place regardless of his messy roomies or whatever excuse he comes up with. If he’s always avoiding going to his house for some reason, he’s probably shacking up with his #girlfriend or wife.


4. YOUR DATES ARE DURING OFF HOURS

One of the most telling #signs that you’re the other woman is that your dates are always during weird hours like late nights and you can’t ever spend holidays or special occasions with him. If he’s always unavailable on certain nights, can’t see you until the wee hours of the morning or if he can only stay the night every now and then, he’s probably spending the majority of his #time with someone else.


5. YOU CAN’T MAKE IT OFFICIAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA

This might seem like a silly way to tell that you’re the other #woman but if he says no to even being friends on Facebook or keeps his Twitter account secret, you have a reason to be suspicious. If he lies about having either, that’s another red flag. Even if you are friends online, don’t get too comfortable yet, some guys have multiple Facebook accounts to keep certain things private.


6. HE HATES PICTURES

Another one of the telling signs you’re the other woman is that your #man hates taking pictures together or having his picture taken at all. He’s probably afraid of the photo getting posted online and it being seen by the “wrong person.” If he doesn’t keep any pictures of you around, that could be another sign that you’re the other #woman. He doesn’t have to have your picture as his screen saver but c’mon guys shouldn’t mind taking photos with you or keeping at least one pic of you!


7. HE GETS NERVOUS

One of the main #signs that you’re the other woman is if he gets ants in his pants when you ask to borrow his phone or use his computer. Even if it’s a work phone or work laptop, there’s no reason for him to get nervous when you need to use his #things. If you’ve seen him use either item for non-work stuff then you know he’s hiding something and he’s not just trying to be a good employee and follow work policy.


8. YOU’VE NEVER MET HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Another one of the significant signs that you’re the other woman is if you’ve never met his friends or family. Sure, you might know the guy that he was with when he met you, but do you hang out with his homies on the regular or ever go out for meals with his siblings? I know meeting the parents is a huge deal, but if you’ve never met any of the important #people in his life, you’re probably the other woman.

I hope you never find yourself in the situation where you’re looking for #signs you’re the other woman and you have to ask yourself these questions, but there’s nothing wrong with being cautious if the guy is raising some red flags. Give the #guy the benefit of the doubt at first, but if his behaviors are continuously suspicious, consult this list and move on if necessary. So ladies, have you ever thought that you’re the other #woman? Share your experience!

oga are you sure u know wat ur saying cos from my record photography is a billion dollar industry go nd do your research properly as long as people are celebrating and we still have news on earth so its never gonna disappear

When it comes to romantic relationships, there’s not much that is more devastating than heartbreak. Losing someone you love – someone who is a significant part of your life – is one of life’s great tragedies. After a breakup, you not only experience the grief of missing your significant other, but the loss of the future you had envisioned with them as well. It’s not easy. I attach readily and have trouble letting go, so I’m the first to say that this period is hard.
Nonetheless, I feel heartbreaks have positive components. What do you think?

Here is a true story of Taju a Bricklayer I once knew.

Taju started the bricklayer job at a very young age since he was not privileged to go to school and get a sound education. One thing about Taju is that he has always been soo passionate about whatever it is he was doing, no matter how small. He started from the lowest level possible and within a short period of time, he became very good at what he does and for this fact he became well known. He was able to read plans and to work in a well organised way.He was the peoples choice when anyone had a construction site to work on.
After working for a little over two years, he made a "significant" amount of money and decided to settle down. He got married to his first love who stood by him all the while he did not have much. They were happy and living a better life as a couple as they moved from the suburbs to a more civilized area. Things were going well and work was becoming more productive, and he even set up a salon for his wife close to their home.On this faithful day, Taju left for work( the site) early to finalize their previous agreement , on getting there, the client he was meant to work for cancelled their meeting for the day and rescheduled for the next week. After supervising a few things on the site, he decided to go home to surprise his wife. On the way home, the shop was locked(the salon) so he figured his wife would be home, he took out his keys to open the door and realized it was already open. He walked in and saw his wife in bed with one of his close friends.
He screamed and walked out, that was the last anyone heard of Taju. Some say he is mad, some say he is dead, but its been 6 years and no one knows his whereabout.

In this above scenario, I feel Heart Breaks have positive components
Strength Comes From Your Resilience

After the dust settles, there is strength one can gain on the other side of heartbreak. You learn that you're absolutely able to bounce back from the tremendous sadness and grief the demise of this relationship has caused. If Taju had experienced this at one point or the other in his life, he would have picked himself up and learnt how to bounce back.

Important Lessons Can Be Learned

When a relationship ends, new questions get asked. Self-awareness can increase. Figuring out what you have learned from this situation, and how it has served as a stepping stone for your future relationships is invaluable information for you to have.

Figure Out What Changes Need to Be Made

This may be the perfect time to look at your own shortcomings, as few as they might be (wink, wink). When we modify our own behavior and learn how to create positive personal adjustments, this creates a tremendous sense of empowerment and hope. This shift in thinking can also help our next relationship to be more rewarding and successful. Maybe Taju actually had a problem that drove his wife to do that, but he never got to know what it was.

And Finally We Develop a Deep Sense of Gratitude

It's not uncommon for people post-heartbreak to look back on their past and ill-fated relationship with a sense of gratitude. They feel happy they are no longer with this person, yet equally grateful this person was a part of their love journey history. They feel thankful this experience helped shape them into being the person they are today. taju could have been a Big man in the construction industry by now, living well.

So you see, heartbreak can provide a lot of positive psychological benefits. And It can ultimately pave the way for having something bigger, better and more beautiful come your way. And if none of the above strategies work for you, remember: Living well is always the best revenge!

I didn't say she'll never be able to. Besides, many of us here hv also read the full story

lool sorry, it was meant for the person asking about samantha's pregnancy status.

RikoduoSennin:
Thank you very much, so this baby is going to be Willy's and Samantha's with Lorena as the surrogate mom.

How did Sammy lose her pregnancy again?

Samantha is still goingto have another baby that she will carry herself.

Breaking up is a difficult thing to do, irrespective if you've been dating a week, a month or years. It is hard for both, the one doing the breaking up and the one who is dumped. The individual who initiates the break up feels guilty; because he is going to inflict pain on the person he has professed to love so far, and will possibly be at the receiving end of some really serious grief. The one who gets dumped feels the heartbreak and anguish of wondering what went wrong and dealing with being alone again.

The ideal scenario, when it works to remain friends after breaking up a relationship, would be when the break up is mutual. And what would help even more is if you were friends before you became lovers. Like it happened with Steve and Claire. They'd both been friends and part of a larger group who used to go out together, clubbing and the like. Then when the group started disintegrating, they somehow found themselves going out as a couple, and it became a habit. A few goodnight kisses led to more and soon they found themselves involved. But after going out together as a couple they found they didn't really have a lot in common and were better of remaining strictly friends, which they still are.

Of course, not all partings are as amicable as this, and if you've shared a volatile and passionate relationship, chances are the break up too wasn't on the best terms. However if you'd really like to stay friends, you might want to consider the following:

I. If you're the one breaking up the relationship, it matters.

1. Where and how you do it

Let him/her down gently. Try and lead up to it and don't drop it on them like a bomb. Just because you're breaking up the relationship doesn't mean you shouldn't treat him/her well, especially if you want them to stay in your life. That means not just calling it off on the phone or the street corner. Just like you'd have taken trouble over a date, choose a nice, quiet place and make it as painless as you possibly can.

2. Why you're doing it

You have a better chance of staying friends if you're choosing to break up the relationship over a really genuine reason. If you've taken a fancy to her best friend or worse yet if you're are cheating on him, the friendship line won't stand a hope in hell. Whatever is the reason you're choosing to break up, try and explain it as delicately as possible without assigning any blame to your lover.

3. How you hate yourself

Make it clear that you despise yourself not so much for breaking up the relationship (as it was a necessary evil in your eyes) but for the hurt you're causing him/her. Deride yourself. And make it clear that you wish you didn't have to do it but you weren't happy, and no one would they prefer that you go on pretending that you are.

4. Why you'd like to be friends

Make them aware that although you're the one initiating the break up, how you could see it coming. See if you can cite instances. And tell them that while it would not work romantically, you still like him/her as a person, which is why you were attracted in the first place. Stress on some wonderful times you've had and how you would not like to see it end in bitterness.

If they're not too emotional at this point, tell them that it's akin to eating something that looks really nice, but turns out it tastes odd. It didn't live up to its promise, but you don't remember so much how good it looked to start with, but the bitter after-taste it left in your mouth. Explain to them that you'd like something good to come out of the relationship, by forming a successful friendship.

5. How you're ready to wait

Be prepared that everything won't go off very smoothly. It is a moment fraught with emotion, tensions and anxieties of the past and yet some very good times, culminating in this anticlimax. So don't expect your tentative offering of an olive branch to be eagerly grabbed by your soon-to-be-ex. Since expectedly, you've been doing all the talking so far, barring some sound effects from your partner, give them a chance to talk and hear them out.

Then ask them if they'd like some time on their own to think about the friendship angle when they are in a more balanced emotional state. Let them know that you will be around whenever they decide to call or if they do. Ask if it would be ok if you initiated contact after maybe a month. Let them know that you would only like to explore a friendship and if it shows no signs of working out or it is not what they want, then you will opt out.

According to the dictionary, a talent is a natural endowment of a person. It is an ability or natural capacity that we have, which may range from our creativity to our athletic abilities. We all have them, but we are not always so good at identifying what they are. Sometimes they can be right in front of us, and we miss them.

If you can determine what your talents are, you can tap into an amazing resource that can help you in every aspect of your life, including your business. Whether you are searching for the perfect type of business to open or you want to find ways to grow the one you have, you may find the answer in your personal talents.

Ways to Discover

Ask 10 people what their talents are and you are bound to get a variety of responses, many of which will include that they simply don’t know. How can that be, you ask? Because people are often too close to what is going on for them to notice their natural abilities. So these gems go unnoticed and untapped, for years!

Finding your talent is actually much easier than you may realize. Here are 5 simple ways to find your hidden talents:

1. Listen to others. Those around you usually know what your talents are, even when you don’t. If you think about it, people have likely been telling you that you are good at something for a long time. You just weren’t listening. Now is the time to listen.

2. Determine what is easy. Are there things that you find really easy or obvious to do, while others may struggle or muddle their way through? If you have things that you find super easy, you believe that they should be just as easy, or obvious, for others, but that’s not how it plays out. In this scenario, they struggle while you stand there feeling like it was a cake walk!

3. What you enjoy most. [/b]Your talents may be demonstrating itself in other ways. Are there magazine topics that you just can’t get enough of? Are there shows you love? Think about what it is that you love to do most when you have free time. If you are drawn toward it, it is a natural talent.

[b]4. Shut up already. [/b]Is there a specific subject that you love to talk about, often to the point that your friends want to shoot you? Consider the subject, perhaps it may be one of your hidden talents or is connected to one.

[b]5. Just ask. Ask everyone you know that will give you an honest assessment about what they think your talents are. Ask them to ignore your bad habits and have them share the one or two things that they think you are hands down most talented at. Ask a lot of people who know you, but always ask them one-on-one. Compile the results and there is your hidden talent.

When you know what your talents are, you feel more in tune with your life. You can also use those talents to excel in the business world. Whether you leverage those talents in your product or service, or you use them to network and make quality connections, they are important to know. When you capitalize on your talents, it no longer feels like work, it just feels like living. And anything that makes business and life more enjoyable is bound to be a good thing.

This is for those that can actually go through with it. I have met a lot of people who say they would never date their friends ex. They wholeheartedly believe that it's wrong, disrespectful, and if a friend did that to them, they'd never talk to that person again. They believe this is something everybody knows, that they're just following the rules. I am not sure how I feel about it yet but that's my opinion.

Whether you're gay, straight, bi, or not into labels, dating a friend's ex can absolutely be done without sacrificing your friendship — you just have to follow a few simple guidelines.(I saw this somewhere and decided to post it)

1. [b]Don't gossip.[/b] It's common to assume that anything shared with you is by default shared with your partner as well; however, your friend might be much less comfortable speaking to you in confidence if she thought the details of her personal life were going to be relayed to someone who used to share her toothbrush. (I'm going to use female pronouns for your friend, and male pronouns for your sweetie, for the sake of simplicity; however, every rule here applies no matter the genders of the participants.) Keep your friend's secrets. The reverse is also true; no matter how much you love discussing your dude with your besties, his ex can probably live without hearing the details of his current sex life. Save it for your diary or for anyone who didn't date him.

2. Don't trash talk.

It's OK to come to your partner for advice if you're arguing with your friend, or vice versa, but absolutely resist the urge to belittle or insult one of them to the other. This can be extremely tempting if they ended on bad terms and you know you'll find a sympathetic ear. However, in order to maintain a healthy relationship with both of them, it's crucial that you never seem even a little like you're taking sides in their breakup or casting either one as the bad guy, even months or years after the fact. If you need to vent about one of them, find a neutral party.

3. Respect boundaries without making assumptions.

For instance, if your friend doesn't want to go to parties where her ex will be in attendance, don't pressure her. But don't assume she doesn't want an invite if you haven't asked! In general, allow your friend and your sweetheart to decide how much contact they want with each other, and don't push them to associate if they're not into it. Remember that you can love them both without them necessarily having to enjoy each other. This goes for friends and partners who haven't dated, too, now that I think of it. Set aside time for each of them and honor it — don't drag your lover along on girls' night out (not even if your lover is a lady; queer chicks are so bad about this), and don't invite your friend to what was supposed to be a romantic dinner at home.

4. No comparisons.

Don't ask your man if you're prettier/smarter/better at Scrabble than his last girlfriend. Don't do this ever, but especially not if his last girlfriend is the person you're going rock climbing with Sunday. No matter what his answer is, it's going to make things weird. Besides, comparing yourself to anybody — even if you come out ahead — is always going to lead to feeling crappy, because basing your self-esteem on where you stand relative to someone else is Not Healthy. So don't seek out comparisons, and if your dude brings up the topic, tell him you're not interested in hearing it. You and your friend are not in competition, except when you're actually playing Scrabble.

5. Don't be paranoid.

Don't try to keep your boyfriend and your bud from associating because you're afraid they still have feelings for each other, and don't constantly seek reassurance that that's not the case. Trust that your dude is with you because he likes you and you're awesome, not because he's biding his time until your friend takes him back. Trust that your friend is happy you've found someone you dig, not plotting to sabotage your love. And don't ever use jealousy or insecurity over their past relationship to excuse irrational or controlling behavior on your part. Of course, if your sweetie gives you a legitimate reason to believe he's untrustworthy, get out of there stat, but if there's really nothing wrong, don't create problems where none exist.

6. Don't pry into their relationship.

It may be tempting ask your friend to analyze what happened between the two of them so that you can avoid making the same mistakes, but resist that urge. Likewise, don't grill your boyfriend on what went wrong or insist that he account for his behavior throughout the entire time they dated. Their relationship is between them; it's not your cautionary tale or your soap opera. If they choose to share details with you, that's fine — you don't need to stick your fingers in your ears, unless an overt comparison is being made (see No. 4) — but don't push. Your relationship and theirs are separate things, and you don't need to know anything they don't care to tell you.

7. Recognize that some exes really are off-limits.

It's easier, of course, to have hard-line rules — "exes are never OK" versus "exes are totally fine" — but that's not the world we live in. If someone seriously mistreated your friend (we're talking emotional or physical abuse, infidelity, lying, stealing, etc.), don't date him, no matter how awesome his butt looks in jeans. This has nothing to do with some kind of Eternal Dibs situation, and everything to do with the fact that, by choosing to build a relationship with someone who treated her horribly, you're telling your friend you don't think what he did to her was all that bad. Just walk away. There are lots of people out there who are just as good in bed and haven't traumatized anyone you care about. Set the precedent that people who are awful to your friends are people who don't get to see you naked, and your life will be the better because of it.

Below are the signs and behaviours of someone who is not quite telling the truth. Be on the lookout if your man or woman is exhibiting these behaviours- they just may be lying to you!

1 Whenever you ask your partner to explain something, take note of where their eyes go. Your left or your right side? Looking to the left could mean your guy or girl is lying to you. Looking to the left (their eyes go to your left, but it would be their right) means they are creating what they are saying- thinking up what they are going to say next. If they look to your right, they are remembering whatever they are about to say from memory, and means they are likely telling the truth.

2 Watch to see if his hands go into his pockets, or he's somehow covering his palms. This is an instinctive move to conceal- he is covering something up.
This one goes for guys only.

3 Is she covering her throat? This means that she feels threatened, and it could potentially mean she's lying.
This one goes for girls only.

4 Take note of how he or she is reacting to you. Are they getting hostile, or irritated? This is a sign they are lying. Someone who is telling the truth has no need to get angry at someone else asking them, for example, about where they were last night if they were truly where they say they were. Reacting in a nervous way is also a red flag.

5 There are other ways their eyes will reveal what is really going on in their head. Can they not look you in the eye? Not being able to look someone in the eyes while lying is an obvious one. But there's one you may not be too familiar with. Is he or she looking into your eyes for long periods of time, almost as if they're staring you down? Staring or keeping their gaze on your eyes and not looking away can mean they are trying to gain control. It can also mean your guy or girl is trying to gain your trust in some way by showing that they can look at you while they're talking. A person telling the truth is going to have a regular eye pattern, looking at you for a few seconds and then looking away again.

6 Wrapping a leg around a chair leg is another sign. It's an outer sign of inner restraint- he or she is instinctively doing this because they are holding something back. You're not getting the whole truth. Also look out for folded arms or crossed legs.

7 If his or her face goes pale it indicates they're fearful, and if it gets flushed or turns red/pink it indicates shame or anger.

8 Take note of whether he/she pauses before answering or answers the question very quickly, maybe even before you have finished asking the question. These are signs he/she is lying.

9 Are they being too polite or overly apologetic? This may indicate your guy or girl is lying.

10 After you have asked a question, do they ask you to repeat it? Do they repeat the question themselves? These are indicators your partner is lying to you.
11 Any body language your guy or girl is giving off that isn't normal for them could be a sign they are lying. (Ex. using more or less hand gestures than normal while explaining something).
