Choosing the right perfume can be difficult and because it is also considered an intimate gift buying the wrong perfume can backfire on you and get you the opposite result of that which you hoped for.

The first thing you need to do is do some homework, meaning research. Look at your lady’s perfume bottles, the ones that are nearly empty will be her favorites. If there is one there that is nearly full chances are she doesn’t wear it often or doesn’t like it. Hint around and ask her what types of fragrances she likes and dislikes.

Humans are very sensory oriented and our sense of smell is no different. Certain perfumes can elicit strong reactions in both the wearer and the person reacting to the scent. Perfumes are made not only to attract but to also relax someone. If you aren’t totally sure what kind of perfume to buy you can always play it safe and get something in the aromatherapy line. If you go this route, bear in mind that vanilla scents are considered to relax and a peppermint or lemon scent will be more stimulating.

Buying a woman’s perfume for your wife or girlfriend is serious business. They expect you to know what they like, so you better know. This is your chance to show that you really do pay attention and that you know what she likes and doesn’t like. If you get it right you will get rewarded way beyond the small bottle of perfume, get it wrong and you’ll be accused of buying something your old girlfriend liked!

Other than the snooping I already mentioned, if you are buying the gift for a special occasion such as Christmas or Valentines Day you can be a little more upfront about asking than if you were just trying to surprise her. Take a look at her wish list, if she has perfume on the list ask her what types she likes. As soon as you can go write it down so you don’t forget, you know how we men are.

You should be very sure of your selection when you buy the perfume for your lady so make sure you have done your research so that you don’t end up upsetting her instead of thrilling her. Remember, this is just like buying lingerie it isn’t about what you like it is about what she likes! She is the one that will be wearing it to school or work and therefore it’s for her not you. But, if you get it right she will think of you every time someone compliments her on her fragrance and that my friend, is priceless.

After all this time, he still adored herImage by thorvaala via Flickr

Ever been in trouble with your wife or girlfriend? Of course you have, if you have known each other any time at all! We can’t help it, as guys we always do something or say something without thinking that upsets our significant other. Saying you are sorry can get you of the doghouse when you’ve done this but only if she really believes you are sincere and remorseful. If she thinks that you are just apologizing to take advantage of the incredible make up sex, you will be in hotter water than you were before you started!

One of the things that shows sincerity and remorse better than anything is action. What I mean by that is making a conscious effort not to repeat the same offense again. If you find yourself apologizing time and time again for the same offense not only does it show a lack of remorse but also shows that you really don’t care about what upset her.

If you know the exact reason she is upset, then apologize for that exact thing. Just saying you are sorry without knowing the reason is not only insincere but also sets you up for repeating it because you don’t know what it is you need to avoid doing or saying. If you really have no idea, humble yourself and ask her what you did to upset her, tell her you’re an idiot for nor realizing but you really want to know because you don’t want to do it again.

Don’t ever apologize by phone if you can do it in person and never do it with a message or an email. Again, this kind of cold and removed apology shows a lack of sincerity and doesn’t demonstrate that you are truly sorry for what you did. Take the time and effort to meet personally so that you can show how sorry you are and try to make amends.

If you want to go down in flames, go ahead and blame her for the situation while you are apologizing. I know that a lot of times the problem may have been contributed to by her, but the issue here is your apology. If you have a decent woman, she will reciprocate with an apology as well as long as you do it the right way. The only way to have your apology accepted as being sincere is to accept total responsibility.

Don’t allow too much time to pass either, if you apologize promptly it will be better accepted than if you wait and she thinks you are simply apologizing to get back in her good graces as an afterthought. On the other hand, if you are having an argument and you try to apologize in the heat of the moment it is likely to fall on deaf ears because she will not hear what you are trying to convey. A nice gift can smooth things over too.

Forget What's BehindImage by D LeRoy via Flickr

If you are one of those people who says,
“I will forgive, but I’ll never forget”, sorry to tell you but you haven’t forgiven at all. Forgetting the offense is the key factor in true forgiveness and without the conscious act of forgetting there can be no forgiveness, in addition this attitude can lead to a grudge between two people over something that could have simply been over with an apology. It is important to come to the realization that the relationship is more important than standing on what you believe to be a principle and causing possible irreparable harm.

It doesn’t matter if you are justified in the way you feel or not, even though you feel you have been done wrong, you need to understand your feelings to be able to forgive the person and forget the wrongdoing. The old saying of, “two wrongs don’t make a right”, definitely applies here. Even though this other person may have hurt you, you must realize that a hostile reaction only makes matters worse and just harms the relationship.

You need to be able to talk things out and tell how you feel so that you will feel that you have expressed your take on the situation, but you also need to let the other person involved tell their side. The whole thing could have been a big misunderstanding, but if you just assume that they hurt you intentionally you will never know. Take the time to listen to each other and pay attention to the emotions that are involved during the process so that you will be able to forgive and forget.

Many times the best thing to do is retreat and allow your emotions to calm down in order to be able to work things out amicably. It is important that you do not act rashly and make decisions based on emotions from hurt or anger. Once you have had time to simmer a little, you will be able to express your feelings about the situation in a rational way and the two of you will be able to get your points across to each other in a positive manner. It is crucial that both of you are ready to resolve the conflict so that anger doesn’t rise up and eliminate the opportunity for true forgiveness to take place.

You must be willing and open to accept your significant other’s apology in order to forgive and forget and put the matter behind you. If you question the sincerity of the apology or feel that they really don’t mean it then you are continuing to harbor negative thoughts and this will result in damage to the relationship because you are still unwilling to forget. Pay attention to your partner as they go through the difficult process of apologizing and have the faith and trust to believe that they are remorseful and mean what they say. Tell them you forgive them and that you are going to just forget that it happened. This is the only way to resolve an issue and have true forgiveness.

She loves me, she loves me notImage by prgibbs via Flickr

It is important to understand the definition of unconditional love to be able to give it, it is the kind of love that expects nothing back, places no limits, and does not set any ideals or conditions on what it should be. When you love in this way you do it without expectation of reciprocity and with no preconceived notions of how or if they will express love back to you. This is the kind of love you see exhibited by parents and children, brothers and sisters, true friends, and the best of romantic relationships.

When you love someone unconditionally you do not set limits or boundaries on that love, not circumstances that would cause you to withdraw it, there is nothing that would cause you to not love the person. Even if the other person does something that you feel is intentional, it is overlooked if you are truly committed to unconditional love. You do not try to control the actions of the other person, nor do you tell them that you will not love them if they act a certain way or do a certain thing. When this kind of love is present both partners feel more secure and neither of them seeks to control the other.

Since there are no boundaries or conditions the people in a relationship of unconditional love do not have to worry about the other person leaving or not loving them over a particular situation or behavior. Siblings in most cases are a good example of this, even though they may have quarrels and disagreements throughout their lives the bond between them remains unbroken and their love continues through any and all conflicts.

If you love someone unconditionally you will want whatever is best for them and you will always give them the freedom to seek out the things that really give them happiness. You will let them learn things for themselves and explore situations and experiences that they feel will make them happy, even if you think that you know what is best for them. Although they may make bad choices and do things that are wrong you will always be there for them and never judge them if you truly love them unconditionally.

Can you see room for improvement in your relationship? Do you place restrictions and limitations on the one you love? When you truly love someone unconditionally, you place their needs and their happiness above everything else, including yourself. Remember, just because you love someone in this way it does not mean that they will return their love to you in the same way. Are you ready to love unconditionally?

When you go to meet your girlfriend or wife’s friends for the first time it can be a little stressful even if you have been together awhile. For starters, they have undoubtedly been talking about you for awhile, and God only knows exactly how much they have talked about. In addition to that, for the majority of women I have known, the opinions of their friends are very important to them and therefore should be important to you as well. You need to make a good impression and at the same time not make them fall totally in love with you!

When you go to meet her friend’s be confident and introduce yourself as her boyfriend or husband proudly and boldly and show them that you are not intimidated. All women are attracted to confidence. Also, make sure that you pay attention to what they say and do your best to remember their names, use word association tricks if you need to and don’t make the mistake of calling one of them another’s name. These may seem like inconsequential things, but to women it is a serious issue and makes it look like you just can’t be bothered to remember.

Take an active part in the conversations that are going on when you meet the girls; they will be impressed by this as much as by your taking the initiative and introducing yourself. By participating in the conversation you are showing them that you are really interested in what they have to say and in getting to know them. Your wife or girlfriend will appreciate this as well, as long as you don’t get to close or flirty! There is a fine line to walk here, don’t cross it. If you spend too much time with the girlfriends and leave your girl alone she may think you are too interested in them. This is especially dangerous if your girl tends to be the jealous type anyway, if so I would advise not to have any private conversations at all with any of the other women.

When you are having the conversations, listen more than you talk and try to remember as much information as you can. Afterwards when you and your girlfriend are alone you can make a comment about it or ask a question including the information and this will let your girl know that you were really paying attention. It will also impress the friends when you see them again, for example if one of the friends told you she had a cat named Fluffy, asking, “how’s Fluffy?” will get you some brownie points just for remembering.

You know that your girl and her friends talk, and yes they talk about you too. That is why it is so crucial that they like you because if they don’t they will do their best to talk her into dumping you and they always have someone else in mind to hook her up with. Just be nice, be a gentleman, be confidant, and whatever you do, don’t flirt!
