Love Flower

In the late 1990's, I was teaching English in Kyoto, Japan. Many of my students were stunningly attractive, young Japapese university students. For the first four months of my contract, I did not even consider dating an asian women. It is not that I wasn't attracted, I had just never considered that a relationship with an asian woman would be pratical for reasons of cultural and geographical differences.At some point, I began to realize that a few of my students were flirting with me, but I tried to ignore their advances and tried to tell myself that I was just imagining things. It wasn't that there would be anything morally wrong with dating any of these women: I had just recently graduated from college myself, and some of my students were actually older than me. It occurred to me that I was struggling with a kind of unconscious prejudice against dating women of another race. It wasn't that I had anything against interracial couples, I just thought that it was not something that I would personally get involved in. The whole thing came to a head when I was invited for an evening out with a bunch of the students. One of the women that had been flirty with me kicked things up a notch and began to get very insistent in her advances. After several beers and a lot of dancing, something just snapped in me: I thought "wow, this woman is really gorgeous, and she really digs me...why have I been fighting her off?". Since then, I have never gone back to dating non-asian women. It's not that I have anything against same race couples, it's just that it is no longer right for me.

Asian Love Story

In these modern days of the global village, matchmaking, dating and marriage web sites focusing on services for single women from asian countries like China, Japan and Korea abound. What is this new obsession for matching single men from countries like Britain, Canada and the United States to young available exotic asian cuties? Is there an oversupply of young Chinese women desperate to get married and having to look across the oceans for suitable partners? Maybe it is simply the secondary side - effects of the global economic rise to power of China. Or simply the fascination and curiousity to discover more about one of the world's great cultures only now recently making itself available for the world to explore: Beijing's Forbidden City, The Terracotta Warriors, The majesty of the Yangtze river. To say nothing of the alluring tales of Japanes geisha and samuri. But maybe it is just the fact that asian women are so darn cute. Beautiful, alluring and sensual: asian cuties are the pitcure of femininity and delicate visual eloquence. This site is a celebration of the charms of asian beauties!

Love Story of the mounth

Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you I had no control over....I remember the first day when i saw him in class. He was wearing white shirt and black pant. I just looked at him and was impressed by his personality....... days passed........... and just a hello hi sort of conversation continued. In November he sent me an SMS. I messaged him and asked " who are you". He called me and informed. Then we used to send forwarded messages to each other. Sometimes he used to comment on those messages and i felt very nice. One day he added me on orkut. Daily i used to look at his pics for hours..
I dont know why i used to look but i felt something for him. Then we started chatting and there was a sort of excitement. We even started talking on phones. The whole day i used to wait for the night so that we can chat. we became friends but my feelings for him grew more and more as the time passed. Then one evening he called and asked "can we meet?" . It was an unexpected surprise for me which changed my whole life. I said yes!!!!!!!!!! and we met at lake. It was cold out there. He came running..........my heart started beating at full speed. We started walking ...........he was a bit fast. I wanted to tel him to be lil slow but i didnt. I became speechless. I wanted to look into his eyes but i looked here and there...............infact on everthing except him. We came back to parking area and he sat on my kinetic ................and i sat behind him and took a small round of that area. That was toooooooooo romantic but i was pretending to be normal. We went back to our homes ............And i recalled every moment spent together again and again. We met again at lake. He was with his friend. We ate petty and my hands started shivering though i was warm enough....... he jumped and told his friend...........i felt shy as if i did something wrong. His friend went and we both sat.......lake never seemed to me so beautiful as i felt at that time. We both were sitting closely..... I wanted to say You are what I never knew I always wanted........ Next time we went in a garden. He had to go back home also but he was not in a hurry. He asked me suddenly " What is going on between us". I became confused ......smiled and didnt gave any reply. He asked me again and again but i was silent. I couldnt sleep at night..........! I was in love! After he came back from his home, we met again in a garden. It was dark all around ....... He said that nothing can happen. All my hopes were shattered. I came back home and cried a lot. I felt as if i am worthless.............not good for anything. Every time i used to open my orkut account i could see him. So i decided to delete him so that i can forget him. He used to message me n i used to reply. I always felt nice whenever he used to send me a message. I again added him on orkut and said sorry with the add request. He called me on new year and said we will meet when he comes back. I again started thinking about him........we met.......on 26th January at his residence. We played all sorts of games. Then suddenly he said " what if i kiss you?" . I became numb........ I said " i know you will not do". He remained very busy with his office work so i never forced him to meet me frequently. We met on 10th feb (his birthday) for five minutes. It was drizzling. I didnt wanted to say bye but i had to........ We met again in March on Holi. That was the turning point of our relationship........where our eyes said everything to each other. The most eloquent silence.........where only love existed. We met again and again and came more close..............more...................more n more. Actually, there is no remedy for love but to love more. Whenever I meet him.... I feel the same charm as I felt on the first day. I want to be with him forever n ever n ever............! Amen!

he Importance of Manners When Dating

Minding your manners will not only show your date you respect them, but ensure that that respect will be returned.

Minding your manners on a date is as important as selecting the right restaurant, movie, or conversation topic. Remaining conscious of them will create a positive first impression and make your date feel special.

One reason it is important to have good manners is that your date with will use your behavior as a measure of your personality. If, for example, you are rude to a waiter, bark at the Starbuck's employee or act snippy with the usher at a movie theatre, your date may decide that you are not a very kind person and may reconsider going out with you again. Minding your manners will give your date a better impression of who you really are.

Manners are also a form of respect. While times and attitudes have changed, opening a door for a woman or allowing her to walk through first are all gestures that are appreciated. Having manners with those who wait or serve you also signs of respect. By having good manners with your date and others, you will show how much you respect yourself and your date.

Minding your manners also shows how considerate you are of others and their feelings. According to the Mountain State Center for Independent Living (www.mtstcil.com), manners go far beyond 'please' and 'thank you.' Manners indicate a deeper concern for others and their situation, similar to empathy. If you have these sorts of manners, then your date will admire you for your genuineness.

How to act on a first date

1. Arrive at the location of your date on time. There is a saying that you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. How true that is.

2. Dress nice (unless your date location requires otherwise). Take time to look your best. The better you look, the better you’ll feel and the more confident you will be. If you’re a female, don’t dress provocative.

3. Turn your cell phone off. Most people these days have a cell phone and it is very rude to take a call while on a date. Minor exceptions include if you use your cell phone for emergency purposes (to receive emergency calls from home or work). Don’t disrespect your date with a ringing cell phone.

4. If you are a man and you meet your date outside of the date location (i.e. restaurant), open the door for her. Show her that you know how to be a gentleman and how to treat a lady. If you are seated in doors waiting for her and she walks in, stand up to properly greet her. Also, there’s nothing wrong with a friendly hug to start the date.

5. Be confident. From the moment the two of you meet, being confident is essential to making a strong impression throughout the date. This means that you know what you’re going to talk about, ask a lot of questions, don’t slouch, and express confident body language.

6. Use table manners. When eating a restaurant, remember not to order something potentially messy (i.e. Spaghetti) and don’t put your elbows on the table. Eat slowly and properly… this means closing your mouth when you eat and never talking with food in your mouth. When you don’t think about table manners, you can display potentially bad habits that will instantly turn your date off and become a “deal breaker” to any potential future dates.

7. Avoid heated topics. There are several topics that are taboo on a first date, including politics, religion (unless you met on a religious service), and sex topics. Avoid these throughout the entire date.

8. Be positive. In general, people are more strongly attracted to someone who is positive than someone who is negative. Avoid making negative comments about yourself on your date – including innocent ones like, “I’m trying to lose weight because I think I’m too fat”. When you make negative comments about yourself, those negative vibes influence your date’s perception of you.

9. Learn to listen. It’s important to engage your date in interesting conversations. Spend more time (particularly if you’re a guy) asking your date questions and listening carefully to his/her response. Be sure to ask “followup questions” that lets him/her know you were listening and are interested in the topic. For example, if your date says, “one of my favorite things to do is to skydive” then you should respond, “really? When’s the last time you went?”

10. Learn to read and express body language. Body language is important on a date because it shows whether the date is going well or not. For example, if your date is sitting with his/her arms crossed, it could be a sign of boredom. Yet if your date is engaged in conversation with you and innocently touches you on the hand or arm while making a point, then it shows an attraction. You can read more about first date body language here.

If the date went well, it is perfectly OK to arrange a second date at that time. Otherwise, you’ll end up playing the “dating game” where one waits several days for the other to call. It’s not a fun game and is heavily overrated. At the end of a first date, there should be expressions of feeling about the date – “I really enjoyed your company tonight,” etc.. When you come into agreement about how much you enjoyed the date, then it’s easy to move on to planning the next date and moving forward in your new-found relationship.

Use Jewelry To Attract Single Women

What are single women obsessed with and crazy about? It's jewelry. Look in any woman's jewelry box, drawers, etc. and you will find tons of jewelry. You will find rings, watches, pendants, broaches, etc.

So, what does this have to do with you meeting, dating, and attracting single women? It has a lot to do with making a good impression on women and I will tell you why:

First of all, take a look at the watch that you wear when you're going out to meet single women or the watch that you wear when going out on a date.

Are you wearing a cheap, ugly watch that you bought at K-Mart for $19.99? Are you wearing those cheap watches with the vinyl wristbands? Are you wearing your sports diving watch?

Don't do it! And I'll explain why and what watches you should be wearing to attract single women.

You might not be aware of this, but being that single women are so interested in jewelry, they tend to judge men by the watch they wear. You may not think this is fair, but trust me; you will be judged on first appearances. If you are wearing a cheap, ugly watch, this can send a message to her that you may be cheap and have no class. This is not good for scoring points!

Am I saying that you have to go out and buy a Rolex? No.

What I suggest is spending around a hundred bucks to buy you an attractive watch. Two brands that I highly recommend are Fossil and Guess watches. They look expensive and classy.

Try on a silver, gold, or silver and gold watch to see which one looks best on you. If you are by yourself, ask the sales clerk for their opinion on which one looks best on you. Also, stay away from leather bands. They can scratch easily and some of them look cheap.

How to Attract Single Women Using Your Shoes

Guys, I just can't stress to you enough how important it is to a single woman how your shoes look. Why? Because women are obsessed with shoes. Just look in their closets and I'm sure you will find tons of shoes for every occasion.

Shoes are very important to single women. They spend a lot of time shopping for them, talking about them (especially to other women), and spend a lot of time trying to figure out which shoes to wear with each outfit.

Being that women focus a lot on shoes, they will judge you by the shoes you wear and how they look in appearance.

If you wear scuffed, unpolished, or out of date shoes, you're going to make a bad impression and that's the last thing you want to do. Part of the art of attracting women for love, romance, and a potential relationship is making a good impression on them.

Even worse, if you want to really turn single women off, wear dirty sneakers. I even had a friend that used to wear old unsightly golf shoes on dates. Don't do it!

I highly recommend these following guidelines for attracting single women with shoes:

1. Make sure your shoes match your belt.
2. If your shoelaces are frayed or discolored, replace them.
3. Replace worn out shoes.
4. Replace worn heels.
5. Visit your local shoe boutiques and buy several pair of stylish and sexy shoes. Spend the most you can afford for quality name brand shoes. Don't worry about the cost - consider it an investment in scoring with single women.
6. Don't buy cheap shoes from Target, K-Mart, Wal-mart, etc. (If your shoes look cheap, this can make an unfavorable impression on women and they may think that since you dress cheap you must be a cheap and miserly person).
7. Please keep your shoes polished and shiny.

Dating tips for women

Guys: If you don't like this, look away now.

In another dating article on this site, you will find a general set of rules than men should follow when dating. In the same way, women have some general rules that they should contend with when entering the dating jungle. Now I know everyone is different, so don't take things too seriously here. There has been some controversy over some literature published in the USA that lays out in detail the rules a woman should follow to get her guy (or gal). Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider's 1995 bestseller "The Rules," explains how women should play hard if they want to get their guy. I can understand why some groups would be hostile about this, but the fact is that when we grow up, there are a predefined set of dating rules. What happens is that we forget most of them after the age of 21, and then realize we need to relearn them.

I wish there weren't any general rules, but courtship is a ritual. There are things that we make happen that excite, stimulate, create interest and confound. Dating is a long test of compatibility. Are we perfectly matched? If we just threw ourselves together, then the chances of long term happiness might be compromised. And yet previous generations managed to succeed on a far less complex courtship criteria list. Many arranged marriages work all too interestingly.

In every society there are a predefined set of social rules we follow, from the way and timing of eating to the way we behave in public. The issue here is that when women date, there are some things that can help them be more successful. If we accept that dating is a game, then there are rules to that game. There are winners and losers. If you know the rules in advance, it gives you a head start. If men know the rules by which you are playing, you may change the rules to suit the situation to keep the man guessing. Men love a challenge, so feel free to adapt rules and add them as you feel inclined.

You can separate rules out into two parts, dating and online dating. Both areas have distinct rules that a woman should follow for dating success.

General Dating Rules

* Always look great, whatever your income. Gorgeous hair and some lipstick with rags will still turn his head. You have the advantage. You are the woman. Look your best as you could meet a potential Mr. Right anywhere at any time.
* Never reveal information you don't have to. An enigmatic woman drives men wild.
* Keep dates brief, but your men interested. Less is always more.
* Try and stay in shape and involve some fitness regime at a gym. However much you hate it, your Mr. Right loves your body as much as your mind.
* Let your man pay. If he is interested, he is interested enough to ensure you eat well and get home safely in a cab.
* Ensure you receive flowers. If he doesn't know what a florist is, dump him.
* Never ever sleep with a guy until he has fallen for you. Sex early in your dating game plan will ruin everything.
* Always keep a guy waiting and never turn up early. It is a lady's perogative.
* Never be available when he wants you to be. Never be at the end of a phone when he calls and always let him leave a message or two first before replying.
* If he is available Tuesday, you are available Thursday.
* Weekend shopping trips with girlfriends are sacred and not available for dates.
* Keep your man standing on quicksand by shifting landmarks and goalposts constantly.
* Ensure you are a good kisser. Men will walk away if you cannot kiss. Practice on a mirror if you have to.
* Never ever talk about previous boyfriends, particularly their prowess in the bedroom. Your ex-boyfriends are your business only.
* Never assume anything about your date until you choose to know him better. You cannot always tell by looking.
* If any man shows the slightest signs of possessiveness or insecurity, run like the wind. Life is too short for boys.
* If his shoes or hygiene are a disgrace, dump him.
* Never talk too much about your father and how your date measures up in comparison.
* Never ever come across as too available or too desperate. He will run a mile. He is the one doing the chasing.
* If the guy in the corner is gorgeous, go get him and create the need in him for you. Never wait for men to come to you because you may watch him leave with someone else.
* You may well have all the bodily functions of a man, just try not to demonstrate them early on.
* If you want a child, don't mention it on the first few dates.
* Never ever criticize his mother unless you want to remain single.

Dating Tips For Men

You are a guy who is always in a serious relationship. You are a guy who hasn't dated in years. Or maybe you're a guy who has never been successful with women. Whatever your situation, there are some common dating rules to follow when venturing into the dating jungle. These conventions even the playing field, preparing you for success while protected your emotions. Women are trained from day one in the art of dating warfare. They have a physical and emotional arsenal that you may never hope to match. But you won't be outgunned if you properly prepare for the battle.

1. Look your best. Get some decent clothes and shoes. Women always look at your shoes, even if you last checked your Nikes in 1996. Get clothes that fit you, suit you and are contemporary. Don't just buy one outfit, sort out your entire wardrobe. Buy a nice tailored suit, there is no excuse not to. If you can't take care of yourself, how are you going to take care of her?

2. Sort out your hygiene and styling. Go down to the barbers and clean up your hair, getting it styled if possible. If you don't have much hair, still get down to the salon, maybe get your head shaved. Or just get a regular shave, a professional shave will leave your face looking and feeling great. Then it is off to the shops with you for good quality cologne and a grooming kit. Men are so often criticized for smelling bad. Get into a regular showering routine so you will always smell fresh and clean. Women appreciate it.

3. Sort out your job if you have one. Women want a man who has some ambition in life. Coasting along as a skateboard instructor is generally not going to win you a real catch (though I'd give it a go, I love skateboarding). Any job is better than none, but knuckle down and sort out some direction in your life. If possible try and look like you have something of a career. If you have a manual job, at least have some plans to work for yourself, and if you already do, then you are on the right track. But know what you are about work wise and have some idea of your future plans because women will ask questions about your prospects. Even if they pretend it isn't important, it is.
4. Be in the know. Make sure you are up to date with current affairs, watch the news and read quality papers. Women do not appreciate stupidity, and laziness is no excuse for sounding dumb. Current affairs are important in showing you know all about the world we live in. If you travel a lot then this will help tremendously. If you don't, make plans to travel and tell her about it. Proving you are willing and able to plan vacations is essential in the grand scheme of things.

5. Do not extol the virtues of drinking in the bar 5 nights a week. This will never win any fair princess's heart. If you spend all your time boozing with the boys, it's time to take a step back and pick up some more productive habits. Taking your lady for a drink is fine, especially if you take her to get cocktails at a nice lounge, but give them the impression that you live there will get you absolutely nowhere fast.

6. Keep your super fan status in check. If you love your sports and enjoying watch the game with your buddies, fine. If sport is a religion and you have your favorite player's number tattooed on your back, you may have a problem. If you are serious about dating, rattling off baseball stats, ranting about unfair umpires and constantly check the score will put them off in record time. To the uninitiated, sports are completely boring, and many women interpret the obsession as a total lack of thought, creativity or inspiration. Millions of girls love sports too, and rooting for the same team is great, but don't make your passion into a one-sided one.

9. Never expect sex on a first date. If all you are after is sex, you have come to the wrong place for reading material. If you are looking for the girl of your dreams, there is nothing sexier than a patient man. You are easily capable of waiting for the right woman.

10. Read up on manners, courtesy and chivalry. A woman likes being treated with respect. Lose the coarse language, the swear words, the rudeness and the laziness. Know how to eat in a top restaurant. Know about fashion, jewelry and flowers. Know how to hold a door open for a woman, let her go first and help her with her seat. Listen to what she says but have opinions of your own too. Show her respect and manners at every step and you'll be on the right path.

11. Start listening and stop talking. Keep your date interested but don't turn into a one-man circus. She will bore of you quickly because she wants to talk about herself too. Listen to things she tells you about her and remember them. Women love to chat so you need to learn to listen to her. Remembering things she told you will impress her even more.

12. Give up smoking. Now.

13. Learn to dance even if you have two left feet. Women love to dance and it puts you two in close contact. It is also romantic and sexy. You can be the world's worst dancer, I don't care. But if you stay seated when she is on that dance floor you may as well not exist. Try joining salsa and ballroom classes. You don't need to be Travolta but you should have an idea of the basics of rhythm. Get started today.

If you love someone set them free....

Emotion filled goodbyes
polluted the air with sorrow.
Love was granted wings to fly
to be free--explore the world.
Yet that stong passion...
never dwindled nor died.
Soaring back with arms
of comfort, soothing words
exposed shaking in fear
of rejection yet your feelings
were mutually expressed in
gentle whispers; a simple
experimentation to show
this love was meant to be.
