havent exactly been reading alot recently...just so happen that there were newspapers at home yesterday and that duet magazine which sdu sends everynow and then...and i came across some interesting quotes and stuff from the articles i read...
from duet...
"it's important for guys to take the initiative to plan the Valentine's date and the majority of all outings too. Why? Because girls love to be pampered and they want their men to be decisive."
"Be open to accepting and trying what the other person likes and chances are, you'll find the experience rewarding"
"good communication and compromise is key. Accept each other's suggestions but not at the expense of feeling short changed or like you're the one giving more."
"time for yourself and family is important too so remember to give each other some space."
"try new activities and always find quality time for fun and relaxation"
"dating is like going for interviews. the process is for both parties to get to know each other and assess whether they are compatible as partners for life."
"in a successful relationship, finding a right partner is only half the equation. the other part is that we have to be the "right" partner too."
"in life, no one is responsible for our happiness except ourselves."
"know that you have the power to choose what you want in life, including what kind of relationship to have. do not put your happiness or life in the hands of another. sometimes, it calls for courage to walk away from a relationship that is destroying us physically, emotionally and spiritually. everyone deserves to love and be loved in return."
from the papers...
"while extroverts need company like the Energizer bunny needs batteries, introverts recharge bt spending time alone"
"some introverts learn to keep up a stream of conversation but those who can't or won't tend to get labeled as shy, aloof or arrogant."
"if you're an extrovert, be confident that the introvert next to you is enjoying your company. if he isn't, don't worry about it. it's not like he's going to tell you."
"if we introverts ran the world, it would no doubt be a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place."
"you're so quiet i sometimes forget you're there"
"it can be hard to relax with another person when silences keep breaking up the conversation. but not if you understand that "if someone is being quiet it doesn't mean they're having a bad time; it doesn't mean they're lonely or need psychiatric help or medication."
"there are more ways to fit yourself into a conversation than by talking; you can do it by showing that you're listening."
"what you do or don't do will always have consequences. the trick is to read far ahead enough to see those consequences, decide if you like them and then act. but whatever you do, i hope you will be happy with yourself. and from there, to be happy with others."
"sometimes you don't need a lot of words to tell a story with a happy ending."
