Romance / Why Don’t Guys Ask Me Out? 12 True Reasons That May Hold The Answer by yanga24(m): 6:53pm On Jul 19, 2020
You’re putting yourself out there to meet a guy who may end up becoming your boyfriend. But you’re wondering, why don’t guys ask me out! What’s going on?

I remember having these thoughts. I updated my dating profile, had cute and sweets of myself, with a witty description. How could anyone resist such a charming dating profile? why don’t guys ask me out?!

Sure, I had a couple of guys who were curious, but none of them ventured past a basic conversation. In other words, I didn’t really get any dates. In the beginning, I thought they all had problems and that they didn’t know what a catch was when they saw one. But, after some time, I started to think if it was maybe something I was doing, a vibe I was giving off.

Now, just because men aren’t asking you out on dates, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It could be you just haven’t encountered the right people, or you’re not looking in the right places *is there even a right place anyways? Who knows*

But if you’re not into cars and you hang out at a NASCAR tournament, it may not be the best place to spend your time. Then again, people meet in the weirdest of situations and end up falling in love. So, who am I to judge? But if you’re wondering why guys don’t ask you out, let’s take a look at some of the possible reasons.

Why don’t guys ask me out? The 12 real reasons why guys don’t date you

What’s going on?

#1 There is no actual reason. Listen, there may not be an actual reason why no one asks you out. Maybe it’s more of a “wrong place, wrong time,” type of situation. Or maybe you don’t really spend a lot of time out of your house. So, don’t automatically assume there’s something wrong with you because you don’t have a date.

#2 You’re not over your past. We all have a past, and for some of us, our pasts aren’t always pretty. Maybe you’re not fully over your ex, and to be honest, no one wants to go into a relationship with someone who hasn’t moved on from their ex. They don’t want to be a filler or rebound. If you’re not over your past, work on emotionally processing it first.

#3 You just want a man. Do you wonder, why don’t guys ask me out, but then again, you say you don’t care who the guy is as long as you find one.

You don’t really care who the man is, what’s important is that you have a man. And when a guy senses that, they’re not going to be interested in furthering the relationship. Just like you, a guy wants to be in a relationship with someone who wants to be with him. Not to fill a space. They want to feel as they actually matter to their partner.

Romance / How To Please Your Girlfriend And Make Her Feel Loved And Lucky by yanga24(m): 8:29pm On Jul 16, 2020
You want to put a smile on her face but don’t have millions of dollars in the bank. You really don’t need a lot to learn how to please your girlfriend.

When it comes to know how to please your girlfriend, most men are looking at their bank accounts, worried they don’t have enough money to make their partner happy. And I’m not going to lie, there are women who equate love through expensive gifts and trips, but it’s not most women.

Of course, if you want to take your girlfriend on a trip to the Bahamas, I won’t stop you. It sounds like an amazing trip. But remember, while you can buy your partner gifts and trips, it’s not the only way to show how you feel.

There are so many other ways to make your girlfriend happy and show you care, most of them don’t cost anything. Yes, really! If you have pennies in your bank account, don’t worry. You shouldn’t see yourself as an inadequate partner. You just have to look at the other ways to make your partner happy.

How to please your girlfriend

You can make your girlfriend happy without much. And if you use the tips on this list, there’s no reason why she won’t have a smile on her face. It’s the little things that count in learning how to please your girlfriend.

#1 Invest the time into the relationship. If you want to have a happy girlfriend, invest the time into your relationship. That’s the simplest and best way to please your partner. They chose you as their partner and vice versa, so why wouldn’t they want to spend time with you? Exactly.

#2 Listen. Yeah, it’s really that easy. If you want to make your partner happy, actively listen to her when she’s talking to you. She wants a partner who engages in conversation with her, so listen. She’s not looking for someone with millions of dollars; she wants someone she can confide in and trust.

#3 Give a genuine compliment. You don’t need to compliment her every five seconds to please her. She’ll know when your compliments are fake. When you feel she looks really beautiful, tell her. If you love the new dress she bought, tell her. Don’t be afraid to give a real compliment when you feel it inside of you.

#4 Show a little PDA. That is if she’s into PDA. You don’t need to shove your tongue down her throat at the supermarket to show her you care. Hold her hand, give her the occasional kiss on the cheek: these are small acts of affection that show her you care.

Romance / Long Distance Relationship Boredom: How To Spice It Up Again by yanga24(m): 9:27pm On Jun 07, 2020
Has your long distance love lost its sizzle? If you’re in a long distance relationship boredom slump, these tips can help overcome the miles.
Long distance relationships can work. But they’re work. A lot of work. There’s a lot of negativity around the idea of a long distance relationship and those who hate it just don’t understand. I was in a four-year, long-distance relationship while living in Vancouver, Canada, and he lived in Europe. Yeah, now that’s some distance for ya.

It was hard, and it sucked when you’re fighting on Skype and it froze. So there you sit, angry in your chair until the camera unfreezes in order to start yelling again.

There is a lot of crap that goes with long distance relationships. However, there is so much more that overcomes the struggle of being together. Those that make it through the distance have passed the ultimate test: with blood, sweat, and tears.

How to spice up a long distance relationship

If you believe in the love you share with your partner, distance is a mere obstacle. Here is where the work comes in! These seven long distance relationship ideas can be used to show your love for them and keep the love strong.

#1 Surprise visit. Okay, this could be a bad idea, as I flashback to every 90’s chick flick. Make sure this isn’t a week long relationship, where you show up and see something you shouldn’t *flashback to Bring It On*. That being said, who doesn’t like a surprise? Especially when it’s their boyfriend or girlfriend showing up at their front door.

But, instead of the front door surprise idea, try showing up at the movie theater they’re at, or the restaurant they’re grabbing a bite to eat. Get creative with your surprise spot.

#2 Love letters. Some people consider this a lame idea, but that just means they’re not in tune with themselves. It’s easy to send a text or email, but it doesn’t have the personal flair a love letter brings. There’s nothing more romantic than seeing your lover’s handwriting in your mailbox.

Sure, still send texts for quick and cute messages. However, with a love letter, you have something to hold onto and look back at when you’re older. This long distance relationship idea isn’t just for those who want to break out the Shakespearian quotes, your letters can be full of jokes, pictures, daily life stuff. It doesn’t have to be serious.

#3 Naughty pictures. This is my favorite. You don’t have to send full-out nudes, send a picture of your collarbone, legs, lips—whatever their favorite part of you is. I’m not completely opposed to the idea of sending nudes, but I’m just saying, you don’t have to do that to get a reaction from your partner. Trust me, they’ll love whatever you send them.

If you trust your partner, then freely send your partner nudes. I haven’t taken that step yet, because I’m slightly paranoid about the internet.

If you’re slightly paranoid but want to send a picture, make an agreement with them to delete the pictures after you send them. Or, download an app which automatically deletes the image after they open it—thank goodness for technology.

Before sending them a picture of you, write them a flirty message saying, “Are you alone?” This gets them going, and trust me, they’ll make sure they’re alone within seconds.

Romance / How To Grow A New Long Distance Relationship When You’re Far Apart by yanga24(m): 7:45pm On Jun 07, 2020
A new long distance relationship is not easy, and can feel like it’s on hold even before it’s begun. Here’s how to grow your love from afar and feel close.
There are a lot of articles online about how to keep a long distance relationship going. And, as helpful as they are, they mostly discuss maintaining a relationship. But if you’re wondering how to grow your new long distance relationship from afar when you can’t spend too much time together, here’s something for you.

In most long-distance relationships, a couple has been together for a while before going long-distance for work or other reasons. In that case, trust has been formed and you have a bond that will help to sustain a long-distance relationship.

But, relationships do not thrive when stagnant. You don’t just want to keep a relationship going at a steady pace, you want your relationship to grow. You want to grow together.

Whether your relationship is starting off as a new long distance relationship or it became long distance before you were together for a decent length of time, this is the kind of advice you need.

As a matter of fact, while I am writing this, I am going through this too. I have been with my boyfriend for a little over six months. We don’t live more than 40 minutes apart, but we haven’t been able to see each other in more than 3 weeks. While I am navigating growing my relationship while apart, I thought I would help you by offering tips that have been helping me.

How to start growing a new long distance relationship from afar

When you are dating in person, it is easy to take steps to move your relationship forward. You can go on a weekend trip or meet your partner’s friends or family.

But when you are apart and can’t see each other for any reason, it can be hard to take steps together. You may feel like your new relationship is on hold while you’re apart and you will start growing it once you are together again.

The thing is, if you don’t grow together while apart, you will start to grow apart. You are both still living your lives and maturing but not together. So eventually, without effort, you will not fit together as well as you once did. [Read: How to Avoid a Covidivorce: Keep Your Relationship Going Strong]

The first step to take to learn how to grow your new long distance relationship from afar is to talk about it. Bring it up with your partner. Talk about how long distance will work.

Make sure you aren’t just checking in with each other and summarizing your days, but are actually sharing experiences so you are bonding. Getting on the same page is vital. Because you are not together physically, you both have to be willing to put the effort in.

How to actually grow your new long distance relationship from afar

It may seem impossible to bond and grow together in your relationship when you can’t physically be together. You can’t spend holidays together, go on drives or even run boring errands together so how are you supposed to overcome hardships and improve your relationship?

Thankfully, we live in the 21st century and technology has advanced so much that you can pretty much connect with your new partner during every waking hour. But, that isn’t quite necessary.

You can learn how to grow your new relationship from afar and come together stronger than ever before.

#1 Plan date nights as if you aren’t apart. This is something that can seem like a big effort that isn’t necessary, but it can make a big impact. Think about how when you’re sick and you get dressed you feel that much better, this is like that.

If when you’re together, you would go out to eat once a week and get dressed up, do the same thing now. Plan a date night for a specific time. Get ready in a cute outfit and style your hair. You can even play soft music in the background and light candles.

This will show you are still excited to see each other. You want to impress one another and are taking time solely to share together.

Celebrities / Why Great Christmas Music Will Never Die by yanga24(m): 6:57pm On Dec 26, 2019
The great performer Bing Crosby reached the height of his stardom about 80 years ago, but every Christmas season, he makes a triumphant return to American radio and malls and other public places.

American tastes have drastically changed over the decades, yet our Christmas songbook has remained largely the same. With honorable exceptions — most notably Mariah Carey’s 1994 classic, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — the most-played and most beloved Christmas songs date from the 1930s and the couple of decades after.

Everyone knows Bruce Springsteen’s energetic version of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.” He ­recorded it in 1975, but the song was written and first performed in the 1930s, making it utterly characteristic.

There was a lull in the production of popular Christmas songs in the United States between the 1860s and the ’30s, when the genre exploded and put an indelible imprint on our culture. An annual analysis of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers found that 16 of the 25 most popular Christmas songs last year dated from the 1930s, ’40s or ’50s.

This era was a high point of American popular music generally, when the quality of the lyrics and of the music was exceptional, and we still hear it — and love it — in the most enduring Christmas songs. Nineteen-forty-two gave us the transcendent “White Christmas,” written by Irving Berlin and performed by Crosby. It lifted into the stratosphere, hitting No. 1 on the charts and returning to the charts repeatedly over the next two decades.

There were speculations that the couple’s marriage hit the rocks months ago after Gbenro called out Osas on his Instagram page.

He accused her of neglecting their child a number of times so she can be out all night partying and hanging out with friends.
When asked if he and Osas were still married, Gbenro said ”We have divorced for a while now though not publicized but we are co-parenting.”

The couple had their wedding in New York in July 2015 and welcomed their child, Azariah, in 2016.

Foreign Affairs / Kamala Harris Ends 2020 Presidential Campaign by yanga24(m): 11:12pm On Dec 03, 2019
Sen. Kamala Harris ended her 2020 presidential campaign on Tuesday, an abrupt departure for a candidate who was once seen as a leading contender for the Democratic nomination.

The California Democrat told her senior staff of the decision Tuesday morning, and later sent an email to supporters and released a video on Twitter.
“To you my supporters, my dear supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I am suspending our campaign today,” Harris said in the video.
“But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight,” Harris continued. “And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the people. All the people.”
Harris’ exit from the race is a precipitous fall for a candidate who launched her campaign to high expectations. The senator has struggled for months to move her low poll numbers and said Tuesday that financial pressures led her to end her bid. The lack of support and money led to internal squabbling in the closing months of the campaign, campaign sources told CNN, all of which contributed to her inability to stay in the race.

Celebrities / Black Widow Trailer Finally Puts Marvel Hero In The Spotlight by yanga24(m): 10:44pm On Dec 03, 2019
The Avengers’ main storyline may have come to an end in Avengers: Endgame this past April, but the first trailer for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow is a reminder that Marvel Studios isn’t done with its original crew.

Black Widow is the highly anticipated stand-alone movie focusing on Natasha Romanoff’s blood-stained past. The movie takes place in the two year gap between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. That also explains how Marvel can do a Black Widow movie in the first place, considering Romanoff sacrifices herself to ensure the Avengers can secure the Soul Stone in an effort to take down Thanos.

Although this is the first trailer released to the public, a lengthier version was shown off at Disney’s biennial D23 fan convention in August. The trailer focused on Romanoff’s trip to Budapest — a location that Clint Barton (Hawkeye) referenced multiple times in various Avengers movies, including Endgame. This trailer contains an impressive scene between Romanoff and a woman named Yelena Belova. Belova becomes the second Black Widow in the comics series, and is referred to as Romanoff’s sister in the trailer.

Romance / Use These 12 Habits For Texting In The Early Stages Of Dating by yanga24(m): 10:00am On Dec 03, 2019
Texting in the early stages of dating isn’t easy, especially when you don’t want to screw anything up. Here are 12 texting habits you should have.
Are you caught up in the early romance of dating? It can feel uncertain, wondering if they really like you or not. Luckily, you have all the information you need to help you develop healthy habits for texting in the early stages of dating.

The early stage is pretty sensitive because you aren’t a couple yet. Naturally, I know you want this person to like you back and want to be with you, so there are a couple of things you should do to make sure you play it cool and have them come to you.

It’s easy to get caught up in feelings and excitement. Follow these tips, and you’ll be able to text the person you’re dating with ease.

Texting in the early stages of dating: 12 texting habits to have

When I was growing up, texting wasn’t even a thing. In fact, you had to pay per text message! I remember texting for my first time, and thinking, “this is never going to become a thing.” I was so wrong. Within a year or two, I found myself texting like crazy and driving my dad’s phone bill through the roof.

It wasn’t until much later I was texting with guys I liked. And let me tell you, there wasn’t any rule book to teach you how to text someone you liked. I would write essay-length messages, ask question after question. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. I was so annoying. But that’s not the point!

Who said texting someone you like was easy?

#1 Take a deep breath. Yes, you like this person, and you’re all excited, but chill. Take a couple of deep breaths, and take it easy. If you work yourself up, it’ll get you overthinking everything you say. The person you’re dating should never be up on a pedestal. They’re human, and if they don’t like you, that’s okay. There’s someone out there who will.

#2 Don’t text obsessively. I know talking to them all day long is fun and exciting, but you also have a life outside of your phone, right? Being overly available isn’t a good look. Why? Because it’s waving the “I’m codependent” flag. Do you have anything else going on besides texting them all day long? I know you do, and they need to see that.

Romance / How To Get To Know Someone Over Text And Build A Real Connection by yanga24(m): 9:45am On Dec 03, 2019
Learning how to get to know someone over text is an important skill if you want to expand your social circle and romantic life.
Understanding how to get to know someone over text without making the wrong impression or boring the life out of them is all about thinking outside of the box. Basically, be you!

Technology for the win

Technology has made meeting new people far easier than it ever used to be. Can you imagine having to approach someone in a cafe or bar and actually having an in-person conversation? Mortifying!

Texting and messaging is the shy person’s godsend when it comes to cultivating a social and romantic life. There are pitfalls to avoid and things you must know if you want to really get to know someone properly.

Not really knowing what to say and how to say it could lead you towards a few texts which are left unanswered, or you simply run out of things to say.

How to get to know someone over text in 11 easy steps

To help you out, because I’m aware this isn’t the easiest of tasks in the world, let’s check out 11 hacks on how to get to know someone over text. Help yourself become a social butterfly, or grab that crush you’ve had your eye on for a while!

#1 Just be yourself! This first pointer might sound ridiculously obvious, but it’s the most important of them all! Remember, you’re not just getting to know them, you want them to get to know you too. They can’t do that if you’re putting on an act! Be genuine, be yourself and don’t apologize for it!

#2 Be creative. Do not simply ask how they are and leave it at that! Be creative with your questions and come up with something which will leave them smiling and wanting to carry the conversation on.

Surely you’ve had those text conversations which have run out of steam. The “hi, how are you”, “good thanks, you?”, “good too, thanks” are over. Then what? Boredom, that’s what!

#3 If you’re going to flirt, do it very subtly. If you’re trying to impress someone while also getting to know them, you might want to flirt a little. This is fine, but dial it down. You’re not trying to charm them here, you’re trying to actually find out about them and get to know them.

Foreign Affairs / Ex-fbi Lawyer Targeted By Trump Breaks Silence by yanga24(m): 4:57pm On Dec 02, 2019
Washington (CNN)Roughly two years after her anti-Donald Trump text messages were released to Congress and she became a public target of the President’s ire, Lisa Page said it’s time to break her silence.

The embattled former FBI lawyer resurfaced her Twitter account Sunday night, tweeting, “I’m done being quiet,” along with a link to a new interview with The Daily Beast. In that interview, Page called Trump’s attacks “sickening” and said she chose to speak out after the President did a lewd impression of her text exchanges with former FBI agent Peter Strzok, with whom she had an affair, during a Minnesota rally in October. The President has frequently criticized the series of texts in which Page and Strzok disparaged the then-presidential candidate.
“I had stayed quiet for years hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse,” she said. “It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative. I decided to take my power back.”
She added: “It’s like being punched in the gut. My heart drops to my stomach when I realize he has tweeted about me again,” she said. “The president of the United States is calling me names to the entire world. He’s demeaning me and my career. It’s sickening.”
Page’s comments come ahead of the Department of Justice Inspector General’s report on FBI surveillance during its early investigation into Russia 2016 election interference that is due on December 9. Page and Strzok were also involved in the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information and served on the special counsel’s team. Strzok was dismissed from Robert Mueller’s team once the text messages were uncovered by internal investigations. Page resigned after the text messages were discovered.
CNN previously reported the report is expected to say the Russia probe was properly launched in summer 2016 but lower-level employees made a series of mistakes. Page said she expects it will show that she acted professionally without bias against the President.
“While it would be nice to have the IG confirm publicly that my personal opinions had absolutely no bearing on the course of the Russia investigations, I don’t kid myself that the fact will matter very much for a lot of people,” Page said. “The President has a very loud megaphone.“
