Tips to know if a girl likes you :)

Tips to know if a girl likes you :)

1 - This will help you learn little things that will come in handy in the future. If you like a girl, don't let her slip away, tell her the truth, but if you don't like her and she told you that she does, don't say anything...it can break her heart. And when she tells you that, and, you don't like her, tell her that she's a great person. Girls like it when boys say they like something that they did or either said you're great at something. All girls are different, so be aware of the signs. Listen to the tone of her voice: if she's shy, the tone of her voice might be a little more soft, and she might start to play with her hair (smoothing it down, twirling, flipping), adjusting her clothes, and might stare at you. Another sign she likes you is if she laughs at only your boring or stupid joke. (Though, don't use bad jokes as a test, or you'll risk looking like a comedy dork.) She may not be able to look you straight in the eye and she might giggle a lot because she is thinking of funny, nice gossip.

2 - If she's flirting, she may be difficult to read. Flirting girls may flirt with guys who they consider to be just friends, and it can be misconstrued as a crush. Although some girls have no idea they are flirting. Most girls do not want to be obvious, the flirting ones might flirt with you a little bit less or they might flirt with you even more. Either way, don't "flirt around". Do not flirt with other girls. If she ever sees you putting your arm around another girl or sees another girl hugging you, she may jump to conclusions and assume she doesn't mean anything to you. And she has nothing you like or she doesn't act the way you like girls.

3 - With this, you can go alone with it if you want, or just act busy like you're late for class or something.

4 - If she finds excuses to do so, then you're probably on the right track. Tell her it was okay and you're fine. But conversely, don't assume that she doesn't like you because her fall didn't touch you. She may be too nervous of you to touch you yet. Break the touch barrier yourself. She may also find other reasons to touch you, such as by lightly hitting you about the head, or soft punching to the body.

5 - If she likes you, she will either hold it for a long time or pull away immediately. Either of these could mean that she likes you. If she pulls away quickly, it means she is nervous but she still likes you. Some girls might just be staring so don't think she loves you and wants to kiss. But if she holds the stare, and you see love in her eyes, then she is confident and she may make the first move. If you happen to glance at the girl and you see her staring back at you, then this means that she likes you, although she may quickly dart her head in a different direction

6 - If you see most of her friends glancing back at you and smiling or giggling, this means that she is telling her friends about you. If her friends are loud and immature, you'll hear "(your name), (her name) likes you!" Her friends might be making it up, however, just to tease her. So you should probably listen to stuff like, "stop teasing me!" or "be quiet! He might hear!!" When she is having a conversation with her friends, and you come over, she might stop talking all of a sudden. This likely means you were the subject of the recently ended conversation. If she likes you and she told her friends about you, they might come up to you and start a random conversation about things such as: Who would you rather date me or (her name), who do you like better, who is the hottest, would you marry (her name) or me, etc. If they name a list of about 3 people and her name is in the list, she probably told her friends about you and they're trying to search for clues to see how you feel about her.

7 - If you're outside and the girl you like is nearby and starts loudly saying "I'm cold!", that's a subtle hint that she wants you to give her your sweater. This is a very sweet gesture, especially if you want to show the girl that you like her. If there are other guys and she likes one of those guys, however, she might act disappointed when you offer yours to her first, look for her mad and tell her that who ever she likes gave it to him to give it to her. In which case at least you'll know how she feels and can move on. Sometimes a girl will pretend to be really bad at something, and say that they can't do it. That is your chance to offer some assistance, and she will most likely be doing this on purpose just to see your reaction.

8 - Do a natural smile - don't freak her out. If she smiles politely, or frowns and looks away, she is obviously freaked out by you. If she returns a soft or big smile and continues to look at you, then she is interested. If she smiles then darts over to the crowd of her friends and hides in the group then she may be nervous and curious if you know that she likes you.

9 - If she's always there for you when you need help, even like when you mention that you're really thirsty and she quickly offers you a sip from her drink, she might like you. But don't assume that she's into you only from one experience. Ask her occasionally for small things, like chewing gum or a pen, and notice how she reacts. If she's always ready to offer you something you might need, go further and ask her to help you with something else, like a school/work problem. It shouldn't be something really easy to solve, but not too difficult either, as some girls who aren't too smart might say that they don't know how to help you with those kind of things. If she's eager to help you, she probably likes you.

FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT SEX

FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT SEX

Sex Facts Checklist 
Directions: Discuss each of the following generalizations about male/female sexuality with your partner to find out if any are accurate to your relationship:
Sexual Drives, Desires, and Rejection 

1.   Men need sex to feel connected.
     Women need to feel connected (through talking, romance, or affection) to want  sex.

2.  Men are usually aware of sexual urges prior to sexual contact.
    Women often are not aware of feeling aroused until they are sexually stimulated.

3.  Tension and stress can trigger a man’s arousal system and aid performance.
    Women need to relax and open up to enjoy sex.  Stress and constantly caring for  others can inhibit sexual     responsiveness.

4.   Unusual ideas or waking a man up to have sex can excite him because of the above.
     Pressuring a woman to try “unusual” activities or waking her up to have sex can   kill her desire.

5.   Sexual rejection will feel doubly painful when a man is aroused. After too much  rejection, a man may           lose his sexual desires.
     A woman needs to feel safe to say “No” to sex, or she may lose her desire to say  Yes.”

6.   When women initiate sex regularly, men can feel worse about themselves (due to  performance pressure)       and eventually lose all interest. A man needs clear  messages that his partner loves sex with him (without         feeling pressure to perform) to maintain interest.
     Women may appreciate a man regularly initiating sex as long as he can read her “signals” when she is too      exhausted or tense and be willing to settle for hugs  and cuddles.

7.   Expressing confidence in a man’s sexual expertise can arouse him.
     When a man appears confident in his sexual expertise, a woman may feel aroused.

8.   Sexual discussions can turn a man off if he isn’t in the mood.
     Talking about a woman’s feelings without pressure to have sex can help her mood.

Arousals and Orgasms 
9.   A man first needs direct stimulation of his penis to “wake up” other erogenous  zones (testicles,                      perineum, or other areas.)
     A woman may first need her least erogenous zones (feet, thighs, etc.) caressed  for her to be comfortable      having her breasts, nipples, or clitoris stimulated.

10.  Men need a direct approach for an orgasm, which can take five minutes or less.
     Women need an indirect, teasing approach (moving toward and away from erogenous zones), which can       take 20 minutes or more.

11.   Men are usually consistently capable of orgasms due to steady levels of  testosterone.
      Women are not always capable of having orgasms or enjoying certain types of  touch due to constantly          changing ratios of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

12.  Men may be more likely to have one routine sexual approach due to consistent hormonal levels.
     Women may need different types or amounts of stimulation because of varying hormone levels.

13.   Men need orgasms to be satisfied because sexual pleasure comes from releasing tension.
      Women can be satisfied with closeness without having an orgasm because they enjoy the building of               tension and like the intimacy that comes with penetration.

14.  Men need occasional quickies to maintain sexual interest and have the patience to regularly focus on              their partner’s needs.
     Women need quickies for times when they are not capable of having orgasms or when they are too                exhausted for longer lovemaking.

15.  Arousal enhances a man’s visual appreciation of his partner’s body.
     Insecurities about appearance unnecessarily inhibit a woman’s sexual desires.

16.  When a women responds with sexual sounds, men feel validated and aroused.
     When a man makes love verbally (“I love your . . .” “You’re so . . .”) women are  often aroused because       they feel a sense of connection and are reassured about  their bodies.

17.  A man can be pushed out of control or turned off if a woman takes charge and tries too hard.
       A woman’s sexual responses will arouse a man and help him last longer.
       A woman’s orgasms will be inhibited either by pressuring her to or by not giving  her opportunities to            have a climax.  If sex regularly lasts too long, passion can die for both sexes.

18.  After his orgasm a man’s desire disappears.
     After her orgasm, a woman can enjoy penetration. It will not matter to her how long her partner’s                  erection lasts if he gives her the opportunity to have an orgasm first.

Cafe Taina Coffee Ads Keep You Alert

Cafe Taina Coffee Ads Keep You Alert

As these Cafe Taina Coffee ads explicitly assert, there are "times when sleeping is not an option."
Executed by Giovanni + Draft FCB, this animated advertising campaign captures two situations in which awareness is of necessity: when you're trapped in a jail cell with a large creepy inmate, and when a fellow castaway is equally prepared to resort to cannibalism as you are. It's very lucky that the cartoon characters in the Cafe Taina Coffee ads had a bag of the grind handy, or one tired blink may have been their last.

Nutrition tips to keep you alert while studying

Nutrition tips to keep you alert while studying

If you are like most students, exam time eating often sends you into a de-energizing spiral. Your nutrition becomes a nightmare as you take in your quota of ‘junk’ food during midterms and finals. Getting control of your eating during these stressful times is possible. Read on for some helpful hints to overcome these nutritional pitfalls. 

Eat small, frequent meals to keep your blood sugar and energy levels steady.

Now’s the time to have easy, convenient meal-type foods on hand. Avoid living entirely on snack foods as they usually won’t energize you as much as a real meal. This is the time for frozen entrees, bean soups, peanut butter and cold cut sandwiches, ready-to-eat tuna and chicken salads and other convenient foods.

Avoid sweets and sugary foods. If you crave sweets, consider a high protein nutrition bar instead of a candy bar.  Read the “nutrition facts’ label carefully.

Choose meals and snacks that emphasize protein over carbohydrate. Protein-rich meals and snacks keep your energy on an even keel. For example, snack on cheese, crackers and skim milk instead of crackers and juice. Top your pasta with grilled chicken strips rather than have pasta and sauce alone. You can even scramble some eggs!

Limit caffeine. Cut back gradually.

Water, water, water! Keep a cup and a liter of ice water at your desk to help maintain your energy. Consume at least that amount of water for every two hours of studying.

Avoiding extra, exam-time calories 

Make yourself get up to snack. Don’t bring the snacks to your study place. Eat snacks in the kitchen or another part of your room, away from the desk.

Make sure your room/apartment is stocked with healthier snacks. Here are some ideas: nuts, raisins, cheese sticks, low-fat yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat milk, crunchy fresh fruits and veggies (add dip for the veggies), frozen juice bars, hearty, low sugar breakfast cereals, oatmeal, low-fat popcorn, protein rich nutrition bars, caffeine-free herbal teas, etc.

Remember that thirst can be confused with hunger. Try drinking a glass of water or a cup of hot herbal tea if you are unsure of the origins of your hunger.

Study breaks: are you hungry? 

Only eat when you are physically hungry, not because you are in need of a study break! When heading for the pantry look for true hunger signals, like stomach pangs/twinges, to be sure you’re physically hungry. If you’re not hungry but still desire to eat, take a 10-minute time out and try to figure out what you really need (i.e. study break, stress relief, pep talk, etc.). Try to get those needs met without using food.  Do something physical to get the blood circulating to the brain.

Don’t watch TV for a study break. The commercials for food will send you to the pantry for calories you don’t need!
