Things to do with your boyfriend can be a lot of fun if you do them right. But sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what to do.

They want to enjoy their single life as much as they can and get the most out of it. Sometimes they even lose a great woman just because they’re not ready to settle down. Some other men don’t believe in marriage and don’t think of it as a necessary thing.

Narcissists live and breathe supply; it’s the praise, admiration, and status that makes their life worth living. While we all like to feel special from time to time, narcissists are like drug addicts in their never-ended search for more supply. Given the importance of supply, those victimized by narcissistic abuse might wonder how narcissists treat their old supply and what causes them to act that way. How a narcissist treats their former supply source has very little to do with the person and everything to do with the narcissist’s current state of mind....

You’ll know he’s playing you when you’re craving emotional connection; you’ll feel alone, you’ll feel guilty for bringing up a discussion about a hurtful thing he did to you, you’ll feel used, he’ll avoid labels, he’ll be distant and won’t share anything with you. Those and a lot more are indicators that if he’s not a player, at least there’s something off in your relationship. Oftentimes, a lot of amazing women get stuck in such situations and can’t tell when they’re being played by a man until they sense their self-esteem dropping and their mental state not being stable....

What does it mean when a guy calls you cute? It could mean a number of different things, all of which we’ll cover in this article. It’s quite interesting to see what a simple word can have so many different connotations to so many different people. Just a spoiler alert, though: What the word “cute” means will largely depend on other things you observe in your relationship with him.

Are you upset that your ex-boyfriend met someone else shortly after you broke up? Do you want to know what this means?

This can be even more hurtful, especially because he broke up with you because he said he didn’t want to be in a relationship right now....

Sometimes, breakups are a bit easier to handle if they end up on a good note, however, those that end in a sour tone are the ones that take a toll on you. Either way, you might still want to contact your ex. As reasons can be numerous, your texts can’t be general. No, your texts need to have a purpose, be elaborate, and be straight to the point.

The ratio of U.S. married adults was 60% in 1978. That ratio dropped by 30% within 40 years, and it keeps dropping each day....

Whether it will work if he has lost feelings depends on how you choose to use this rule. When you are distant from your ex, you will give yourself and him the space and time to reflect.

Sometimes you can go out with someone and immediately know that they’re the one. But, that doesn’t always happen. People have a good way of concealing certain emotions that would make them feel different from the rest. This is due to many reasons.
