However, if you are a man in tune with your feminine side (or trying to get there), feel free to read on. It's mainly the stuff we talk about but that noone ever wrote down. It's all the stuff in all those self help books that we read, all the stuff that should be said but aren't. This is just a venting spiel, about the idiosyncrasies of dating and how to make it better.Vixenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14064520755523082756noreply@blogger.comBlogger540125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12639280.post-36505800342833418342009-11-13T17:49:00.000-08:002009-11-13T17:49:02.898-08:00Michelle Obama on Love & RelationshipsIf I would prefer to take relationship advice from anyone in the world, it would definitely be the first lady Michelle Obama.

Look at the soul.

The observation was that adults get so used to relationships not working out that when they do find a relationship that is good, one might 'self-sabotage' because you can't deal with not breaking up or having drama.Personally, I used to feel that I had a relationship shelf life, which was around the 6 month mark.
