Looking for a lifelong, loving relationship? I`ve been with the same partner for 30+ years and it`s not just a coincidence. I`ve worked at it and the first part was to find the right man for me. I hope I can help you do the same. (I`ve also read a lot about the subject and know many couples - some who have made poor partner decisions and others who`ve maintained a lifelong relationship of love.) This information would be appropriate for either gender.
My own marriage has worked out great, though it has taken work, I've learned a lot and continue to learn. I realize, though, that everyone is different and so is each relationship, so I enjoy observing others.
Many people are searching for a relationship, but so few have a clue about how to make it life-long. I believe I can help them have a happier life through understanding the nature of this important relationship. I'm sure I already have. I also have been helpful to homosexuals (gay & lesbian) since the advice seems to work pretty well in all lovin
I will continue to observe others and read about various psychology theories pertaining to romantic relationships. I'm not too impressed with Divorce Court, but it does show how wrong people can go.
Our hormones are largely responsible for our drive to be with someone and these can now be controlled to some extent - more so as time goes by. Other body chemistry also effects our mood and desires about which scientists are learning more.
Monogamy (having one mate) may not be for everyone whether straight or gay. My advice is for those who believe that they really want a monogamous relationship with the same person for as long as possible. I accept those who don't feel this is the life for them, though I'm not prepared to advise them.

Lex, You're not too old to find someone. Lots of people don't find the right match until they're over 30. The more men you meet, though, the more the likelihood that you'll find the right man, so you
Melany, I don't know how this message got lost, but I just found it. Sorry it's late, but here it is: 26 is not old. Don't worry so much about getting old - plenty of people meet a mate after their
Danielle, I agree that you should tell him, but you could do so in a way that gives him an out if he doesn't want to hurt your feelings because he's doesn't feel the same way. Of course, your feelings
Tricia, I wouldn't suggest a bar - the guys most likely to be interested in a serious, lifelong relationship probably wouldn't hang out at a bar. I know over-weight women who have successfully found
Sorry your message must have gotten lost - I'm just noticing it. There are many possible places to find a date. I would recommend clubs, other types of hobbies, and recreational activities. It's good
