Long Distance Relationship


It’s the trickiest form of dating. Some people are too scared of it but others are willing to give it a try pegging a very low success rate on it. It could be the strongest relationship or the weakest…it all depends on the partners in the relationship.
It has its merits and its fair share of challenges.

PROS

Absence makes the heart grow fonder! The love just keeps growing and it’s like falling in love a fresh each time you meet.
Deep connection. Any chance to talk or meet is highly valued and appreciated. The commitment is serious and more effort is put into it.
Successful. Most end up in marriage. The couple is not distracted by ‘small issues’, they are working towards a common goal and clearly know where the relationship is headed… they do everything possible to make it work.
Trust. The partners trust each other and they are able to hold on to that trust to stay faithful focusing on their goals as a couple. They keep each other strong.
Free. The relationship does not dictate how the partners live, they are able to pursue their own dreams and build themselves. The relationship is not demanding and therefore easy to maintain without much hassle.

CONS

Physical contact. The absence of physical contact for long periods can be tough and is the main reason people shy away from it.
Unresolved issues. There are times when an issue doesn’t get addressed as it should be and the partners end up brushing them aside instead of solving them. The issues slowly kill the relationship as the partners try to act as if everything is going great.
Anxiety. The partners are on the edge and an unanswered call or text causes so much anxiety with thoughts of cheating flooding the mind at such times.
Effort. The relationship needs the consistent effort of both partners to work. If they get tired of checking up, reaching out, planning to meet up… the relationship comes to a premature end and can be hard to revive.
Freedom. The partners can be easily tempted to start parallel relationships to satisfy their need for physical contact and validation. They can conveniently choose to ‘forget about’ their partners when they face trying times.

The Shy Lover

Passion is a major part of a romantic relationship. It keeps the fire burning in the relationship, keeps the partners longing for each other. In this, partners explore their pleasures and seek to make each other happy and satisfied. So let's talk about the shy lover.. It may seem like they don't want or enjoy the pleasure or like they are giving mixed signals about what they want. They are like a puzzle you need to figure out and once the puzzle is figured out, it opens up a whole new world for both partners. Let's figure out this puzzle together... Lead Take the lead with a shy lover, initiate the pleasure. A shy lover can't initiate, they are scared they wont do it right , weak in that moment, self conscious about how they are perceived. They think about it in their minds but are unable to execute. One may think they aren't interested but that really isn't the case. Once the bolder partner takes the lead, the shy counterpart is able to follow and pic...

THE UNSPOKEN: The Abusive Relationship

This time I focus on much deeper issues in relationships that we are often trying to cover up and people rarely talk about them. Domestic violence is something that is often kept on the down low … no one talks about it. It is meant to be a silent suffering and speaking of it is abominable and is like ‘airing dirty laundry’.  In most cases, the victims are often the females In the victim’s perspective this is how it is……. The first time he hits you, he was not in a good mood, The second, it was a mistake; he did not mean it The third time, it was your fault The next time you’re sure he’ll change It never ends!! Action has to be taken before it gets too late and when so much damage has been done. So what can you do as the victim;…… Accept First you have to accept that what is happening is indeed domestic violence and that it is not right. The first stage of solving any problem is accepting that the problem is actually there. Stop making...

Unconventional Pick Up lines Dudes Use 😀

It's surprising how by now some chics still can't tell when a dude is trying to hit on them; I feel there are those lines that at least every dude uses or has ever used on a chic and so are pretty common! Let's venture into the world of pick up lines and find out which ones are used and why..  You look familiar  🤔 They usually start by staring at you till you notice then they will approach you and throw this line at you. The aim here is to grab your attention and divert it to themselves. They also get you to start thinking about them since you are trying to figure out where you guys might have met. In the process you end up blurbing stuff about yourself like where you work, live or school at. Are you okay? 😐 Well this might seem quite harmless.. I know, like it's just pure concern. They approach when you're probably engaged and this is to get your attention.  They want to get you talking and make you just take time to look at them. The funny ...
