Valentine’s Day
When you’re single, Valentine’s Day can be the most annoying holiday. The cheesy tokens of affection littering the aisles of the grocery store turn your stomach and you’re inundated with commercials implying that you’re not really loved unless someone buys you a diamond necklace. Retailers have turned the day into a big marketing ploy, creating a multi-billion dollar industry hawking everything from cards to flowers to stuffed teddy bears. If you find yourself without a special someone with whom to share this holiday, remember what Valentine’s Day is really about and that it is not just for lovers!
Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the love you do have in your life, from your parents to your good friends, even your loyal terrier napping at your feet. This is the day to express your love for those who support you in life and who make living in this crazy world a little easier. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and we should celebrate and appreciate it more often in all its forms. This Valentine’s Day, tell those you love how much they mean to you.
Also, don’t forget to be your own love of your life this Valentine’s Day. Show some love to yourself this holiday by treating yourself to a massage, some chocolate-covered strawberries (my favorite), or any little indulgence that puts a smile on your face.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
5 Signs a Woman Is Interested in You
Men can have a difficult time being able to tell when a woman likes them. When you’re talking to a woman who piques your interest, how can you tell if she is interested in you? Pay attention to the following signs that will tell you whether your feelings are reciprocated.
1. She lingers.
If you’re talking to her, and she is not leaving your side after a couple of minutes, she probably wants to get to know you better. When a woman is not interested in a man, she will usually find a reason to walk away. However, if she’s looking bored, she may not be interested but doesn’t know how to exit the situation.
2. She acts nervous
When a woman really likes a man, she gets excited and has nervous energy that is tough to hide. This nervous energy takes the form of fidgeting, not being able to keep still, or talking faster than normal. Look for these subtle hints when you’re talking to a woman.
3. She has open body language
Body language speaks volumes, so pay attention to how a woman is communicating with you without words. Signs of interest include positioning her body to face you directly, smiling and making eye contact, mirroring your actions, or playing with her hair. Some signs that she’s not so interested include crossing her arms across her chest, not making much eye contact, and turning away from you.
4. She asks you questions
When a woman finds you attractive, she will want to find out lots of information about you to see if she wants to get to know you better. If she’s peppering you with questions, she’s probably interested in you.
5. She gets close to you
If she likes you, a woman wants to be physically close to you. She will stand or sit in close proximity to you, and may find excuses to touch your arm or back.
