Christians Cheat Too
As many as 22% of women are cheated on by their loving boyfriends or husbands. That is a pretty high number. On the contrary, only about 12% of women cheat on their men. Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back ladies, you deserve it. Most of you are faithful Christian women.
Many fellow Christians have the feeling that they will not have thee problems that their non-Christian counterparts will have. This could not be further from the truth. Being in a Christian relationship can make things more complicated if anything. Being a modern Christian you have choices and you can decide how to live your life.
So how do you find out if your boyfriend is a liar and cheat? There are many ways, and we are going to discuss them here. The best place to start is with yourself. How do you feel about this guy, are you in love with him? If you are having problems even understanding your feelings for him, there may be a problem, and a big one at that. Statistics show us that most (not all of course) of the time if you feel your boyfriend is cheating, then he most likely is. Sometimes we have to listen to our gut feeling. After you get in touch with your own feelings and you want to continue the relationship, then you need to find out if he is really cheating or not.
There are a series of questions that you need to ask yourself when confronted with this problem, if you really want to find out the truth of whether he is cheating or not. If you answer yes to any of them, you may have a problem that needs to be looked into further. Has he started to work out a lot when he used to not care? This does not necessarily mean a shift of attention from you, maybe he is just wanting to look and feel good, so you need to be careful how you answer this question. you need to put it in context. He is spiritually and emotionally distant. Did he used to go to church with you every Sunday but now tries to find excuses not to? All of these are important signs to look for.
So now you are convinced that you have a cheating boyfriend, what do you do now? The first thing you need to do is get on your knees and pray about it. You really need to start praying about the situation before it gets worse. Confront him with your feelings, and realize that if God wants you in the relationship it will work out, if not, God has other plans and paths for you life. Keep your head up, everything is in God's will and it shall be done.

Getting An Ex Boyfriend Back
Will these depressed feelings that you're having help you get your ex boyfriend back? You have to deal with yourself first, otherwise you'll get nowhere.
Before you can reconnect with him, you need to reconnect with yourself, or you won't get anywhere. Remember the woman that you used to be, when you started dating him, and when he fell for you.
Are you any different now, than you were back then? If so, how? Be truthful with yourself. There is no right or wrong answer. The whole point is to remember who that woman was the first time you two met.
If you're finding it difficult just doing that, then you need some time to regroup and heal. Go see a movie or go out with your friends.
Make sure to do something that helps you relax and escape the negative emotions that you're feeling. When you're relaxed and in control, then you'll be able to begin the process of reconnecting.
You probably feel down in the dumps right now, but don't purposely avoid things that might make you happy. Pamper yourself. Buy a new outfit. Even if you feel crummy, you deserve a little good treatment.
Once you've had time to get an objective point of view on the relationship, you can get to work getting your ex boyfriend back. You want to be a poised, articulate woman when you speak to him again, not an emotional wreck.
A Romantic Evening is Easy To Plan In Your Home
You want to start by adding candles everywhere you can set them. Try placing a few candles on the table where you will share your meal. Candles for the table should not be scented otherwise they will distract from the meal. For the rest of your home try placing candles everywhere in the room; fireplace, table, floor. There is no limit to how many candles you can have burning. The soft flicker of a candle can be very relaxing and enjoyable.
You can also use the candles to help decorate your home. Do a quick search on the internet to find the right candles for your home. You will find it hard to choose which ones to purchase for your home. Pick the room that you wish to stay in the most during your romantic evening. Set a theme or color that you want to highlight the most using candles.
Add an area rug in front of your fireplace and let that be your focal point for the evening. You can lay out an area rug of your choice and place candles all around making it a warm romantic evening by the fire on a cold night outdoors.
If you do not have a fireplace in your home you can make the television your focal point. Place an area rug in front of your television and turn the couch to face the television. Sit in the floor with your back to the couch and enjoy a nice romantic movie by candlelight on the area rug.
When it comes to romance, nothing sets the mood like a romantic scent. You can choose a scented candle or incense burner to fragrance your room and turn it into a romantic room. Scents can calm, soothe, inspire, and enhance the feel of a room.
These few tips are sure to help you make your home much more conducive to a romantic evening with a special someone. They do not require much effort nor will they take up too much time. However, the impact they can have is tremendous and as you are likely to soon find out; they are so worth it.

How to Attract Better Guys
Fatal Online Dating Errors That Single Women Make
Before we wrote the profile, I asked her to send me her four best pictures.
I asked her to do this because men are as visual as Scooby Doo on steroids. The first thing they do when they see your profile online is NOT read about your trip to Italy last summer. They want to see how hot you are. Keep in mind that every man has different taste in women. What I find attractive, my friend may not find attractive at all.
So I explained this to my client, and I asked her to send me her four best photos -- pictures that represent who she is in her life. What she sent me is mistake #1 of the biggest mistakes women make online.
Here are the 14 biggest online dating mistakes women make:
1. Stop posting four different photos from four different stages in your life. This leaves a man wondering, "Who is this person?" I've looked through thousands of online profiles, and the majority of women will put up pictures from different stages of their life but not put up current pictures. All photos that you post on an online dating profile MUST BE CURRENT!!! He's going to find out what you look like when you meet, and there is no reason to lie about your looks.
2. Don't list your dislikes about Internet dating in bold, capital letters at the beginning of your profile. We've all had negative experiences online. Emphasize your positive points, not your negative ones.
3. List your exact body type. It seems like on the Internet EVERYBODY is "athletic and toned," "petite" or "fit and trim."
“He will find out what you look like!”
He will find out what you look like! You might as well tell the truth in your profile, so you'll have a qualified lead and not waste somebody's time.
4. List your real age. In the world of Internet dating, it seems like there's an abundance of 29- and 39-year-old women. "29" usually means somewhere in your 30's. And a woman who is "39" is usually in her 40's. Why start a potential relationship on a lie? Men are guilty of the same thing, and I advise them the same way.
5. I'm really glad you had a great time on your vacation, but you don't need to post 10 photos of your trip to Italy WITHOUT you in them. This is a dating site, not a trip advisor. Also, stop posting pictures of you skydiving, winter skiing, waterskiing, or doing anything else where we can't see what you look like in the picture.
6. Keep your profile short and to the point. Make your paragraphs very short. I've seen too many women's profiles that look like romance novels. Take a look at Yahoo! Sports and read an article in the sports section.
“All paragraphs are short so men can digest that information in short bursts.”
All paragraphs are short so men can digest that information in short bursts.
7. Don't be so self-absorbed. I've seen many women's profiles that say, "I want a man to be this," "I want a man to do that," "I want a man to cherish me," "I want a man to adore me"... You list all your "I wants" without listing what YOU will bring to the relationship. So you end up looking like you're a taker and not a giver. No man wants to be with a taker; he wants to be with someone who's equally willing to give and to receive.
8. Don't list your financial desires like you're posting a want ad. I've seen too many women write, "I'm looking for a man who will spoil me, buy me great things, and take me on great trips." You come across as a gold digger. Instead say, "I like the finer things in life to share with somebody," so you don't come across so harsh.
9. No baby talk! Even if the number one priority in your life is to be a mother, nothing scares a man off more than if you write in your profile about how badly you want kids. He may feel the same way, but he is going to think, "This woman will marry anybody to have kids." Write something a little more toned down like, "Families are important to me, and I can't wait to meet my special man so I can start a family." This shows you're selective and not just looking for someone with whom to make a kid.
10. Stop listing all your rules. Don't write things like "A perfect first date MUST be dinner" or "The man I date HAS to wear suits." Women tend to list rules in their profiles. Be open to a different kind of first date, or the kind of guy who wears jeans to work.
11. Stop sending winks. When is the last time you went to the supermarket, saw a cute guy and winked at him? Winks went out of style when "Happy Days" went off the air. You don't like it when men send you a wink. You think it makes him seem lazy and like he didn't read your profile. We think the same thing! So stop winking and start typing.
12. If you write to a man and he doesn't write you back, don't write a nasty follow-up email and ask him why he didn't write you back. If a man doesn't respond to you, it's the same thing as when you don't write a man back. It means that he is not interested. Don't get angry, just find another person.
13. We know you're looking at us, because we see that you've viewed our profile every day. Say "hello!" We're not going to bite. Lob that email in.
“Take a chance and send an email to the guy to whom you're most attracted.”
Take a chance and send an email to the guy to whom you're most attracted. You never know what might happen!
14. If a guy who you're interested in writes to you, stop playing games and write him back right away. Don't make him wait four days. He may find someone else in the time you wait to write him back. Keep the momentum going!
I have found when online dating that if you're honest about who you are, and you get back to people immediately, you'll get the date faster and avoid all the back and forth games that go on. Now go change that profile!

Behaviors in Dating That Scare Single Men Away
The truth is there are certain things that women can do that will scare men away. Don't sabotage a potentially great relationship that could have gone somewhere by scaring a man off right at the beginning.
Here are six dating behaviors guaranteed to scare men away:
1. Trash-talking your ex. Don't talk negatively about an ex-boyfriend in front of a guy you're dating. I don't care if you're on your first date or on your 15th date with a guy, don't ever trash-talk your ex. Your ex is somebody you dated, invited into your life, and with whom you spent a lot of time. So don't talk negatively about your ex in any way, because what a guy thinks when you do this is that if he ever becomes your ex that you're going to trash-talk him the same way. So, when a man asks you about your ex, you can politely say, "We are no longer together. It was a great relationship while it lasted, and I learned a lot." That's it.
2. Paranoia runs rampant. Here you are dating a man you really like, and the first couple of weeks are going well. Then, that first boys' night out happens. In the beginning, you send him a text that says, "Have a great time tonight!" As the night progresses, however, seeds of doubt start forming in your mind about what he's doing, and you start to think "Is he cheating on me? Is he flirting with other women? Where is he right now?" So then, you lob another text in to him asking "What's going on? What are you doing right now?" Even though he tells you he's just hanging out with his friends, you proceed to make a major blunder:
“You start checking up on him with continuous texts throughout the night. This paranoia will push a man away.”
You start checking up on him with continuous texts throughout the night. This paranoia will push a man away. So when you are dating a man and he's out with his friends, respect his "guy time" -- it will make you the cool woman he's always wanted to find.
3. Trash-talking other women. A huge mistake many women make is trash-talking other women in front of the man they're dating. For example, you are out with him when a woman walks by wearing a skimpy short skirt. You say, "Look how promiscuous that woman looks! I can't believe she is going around in public like that!" What you are doing when you make comments like this to a guy you're dating is telling him that you're not confident in the way you look. It tells him that you don't love who you are and haven't embraced your own body. You are planting a seed of doubt in him, causing him to wonder if he he should date someone else who is more confident (and tolerant). Don't trash-talk other women. It makes you look really insecure.
4. Fishing for compliments. This is something that can drive a man crazy. Here is a typical scenario: The guy you're dating looks at you and says, "You really look beautiful tonight!" Ten minutes later, you look at him and ask, "How do I look tonight?" Stop fishing for compliments. Real compliments come from the heart. Allow us to compliment you when we really mean it. If we don't give a compliment at the exact moment you desire it, just accept it and be OK with that.
5. Clingy and possessive. You don't need to do everything together. You're still getting to know him. If there are things he likes to do that simply don't interest you, be cool with it. You don't have to be joined at the hip. If you are going to a cocktail party together, you don't have to be next to him at every moment. If you see him speaking with some woman at the party, do not immediately run over and start grabbing his hand and giving him a big hug -- and certainly don't do this all night long. You are being clingy and possessive when you do this.
6. Pushing friends on him. Avoid pushing friends on us too soon. Example: A woman will hang out with a guy on the first or second date and say to him, "You have to meet my friends Jenna and Amy. You also have to meet my friends Phil and Anne; they're such a great couple, and you'll love them!" A man hears this and thinks, "I don't even know you yet. Can I get to know you for a month or two before I have to go meet all of your friends and be put on display as 'the boyfriend?'" We don't want to be "the boyfriend" right away. It's too much pressure. We want to get to know you slowly and learn what you're all about. Believe me, once we get to know you -- and like you -- we will be more willing to get to know all of your friends.
Following these tips will help you get past the first month of a new relationship with a man and avoid some of the major pitfalls that can end a new relationship before it even starts. Be the confident woman you really are so we have a chance to embrace you. Don't scare us off before we have a chance to get to know you!
