sucker for love.

We've all been in one or we're waiting for the day to start our journey with our second half- yes I'm talking about relationships. They can be fun, flirty, sexy and give you those indescribable butterflies but sometimes navigating even in the best relationship can sometimes feel like driving to an unknown destination without a GPS.... anxious, frustrating and even scary. Every girl's been there before: Do I text back straight away or does that seem too desperate? Do I tell him I miss him/love him or is that too clingy? Do I go that extra mile or will that seem too much?

Now I'm no relationship guru but I've sat down and reflected on mine and other's relationships and have figured out a few tricks of the trade for making the game of love a walk in the park... rather than just a fumble in the dark.

Firstly, spending time apart improves your bond. Yup, you heard me right- it's important to hang out with your partner but time apart gives you the opportunity to collect new thoughts, new stories and new ideas to share. When you're with someone in the moment, you're not really spending time thinking about them- rather when you're distanced, you think about the person and yearn for them and you look forward to seeing them again! So the next time you plan on seeing that chick flick movie together... maybe opt to go with the girls instead!

This one is a big one- your gut feeling that something is wrong, is probably right.  We hate to think it's true... but yes... it is. Women naturally have a keen intuition so you'll quickly feel any kind of distancing on an instinctive level. Unless you're an overly suspicious or jealous and insecure person, trust your gut- ALWAYS. Chances are, you are 99% right.

if he's had a history of cheating, chances are he will cheat on you too. hate to say it's true again! Some guys two-time for the thrill of the chase... others out of boredom, and some to boost their ego. Clearly they have a monogamy problem. If he's cheated before, chances are he will do it again- and I'm sorry honey but if you take him back or let him in, the only person you will have to blame is you. 


I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for romance and all the bullshit, along with never giving up and always trying to look at the positive side of things. And unfortunately this trait can also be found in the majority of women (well most of my female friends) and this can often be a downfall when acting impulsively... ie. dumping him. I guess if you sense you are with the wrong person, chances are you won't regret breaking up with him. Sometimes you have to let go of the wrong person in order to find the right one... Yes it will most possibly hurt- but it could possibly be the best decision of your life. Know your worth. 

There's something about guys who always feel the need to be "powerful" and being able to provide and support for their female. Just like that superhero or the super-rich husband. That's why he wants to think he is taking care of you. Despite the fact that women are outpacing men at uni and work (just quietly), guys still feel the need to derive feelings of masculinity and self-worth by being of value to the person they love. It can most definitely benefit your relationship to let him step it up once in a while- but that's not to say we all need to become dependent of a man! No sir! Just think of it this way though: letting him care for you shows you care for him- simple!

Don't let any of this scare you.. love is a beautiful thing and full of surprises!
Keep positive && never stop loving! 

Gros bisous,
