"Love at First Sight" Thing

Do you believe in “love at first sight”? If someone’s going to ask me this kind question, I will definitely say “yes!” Why? Well, maybe because I am a hopeless romantic person and a romance novel addict. I do watch movies too, which happen to have that theme and I think it’s not bad if you fall in love for the first time you laid your eyes on a person. Why, if you have that what we call chemistry, why are you going to ignore it?

A recent study showed that the first few minutes (10 minutes below) of meeting someone has a huge influence on the course the relationship will ultimately take. Romantic relationships begin with people making judgments very quickly. Well, things do happen and if you believe in miracles then you probably believe in this saying too.

If you want to rev up your “first site” vibe and add a little spice to that few minutes, the following tips maybe can help:
1. Wear red or blue. For women who want to create an on-the-spot thrill, wearing red is the way to go. According to color experts, red is the most stimulating color you can wear. In fact, wearing or seeing red actually increases blood flow and mimics attraction.
If you’re a guy, your best bet is to go true blue. Beatrice Eiseman, Director of the Pantone Color Institute, says women are attracted to men wearing the color blue. She explains that guys who frequently wear blue are “stable, faithful and always there”. (aha, I will look for a guy wearing blue..lol)
2. Smile. Psychology and body language experts agree that smiling is one of the fastest and best ways to make you more attractive and approachable. It’s not necessary to look like you’re trying out for “Ms. Close Up Smile” but just your usual “I’m happy to be here and I’m having a fantastic time” face will do a trick. (So guys, just smile.. :))
3. Instant Chemistry. A study at the University of Chicago has shown that men associate the scents of cinnamon and vanilla with love. To kick-start your allure, women can wear a cinnamon-vanilla scented lotion or perfume. Wearing a cinnamon/vanilla blends increases the presence of pheromone-like substances and dramatically increases attraction. (i will start looking for this cinnamon/vanilla scents)

Rules in Text Message Etiquette

I got my own cellphone when I was in my first year in college and as a teenager I confess that because of text messaging, I got my first love and my first boyfriend. It is funny reminiscing those days but having the idea of finding your love life through text, well its not that bad... :) Text messaging is one of our way of communication nowadays but on the other hand, like those other things, we must consider things while using it...well, to cut it short, to show manners and respect to someone we want to talk to (if it is the right word for it), and here are some of those...

Rule # 1. Don't text at any hour of the night
You wouldn't necessarily call someone at midnight, so don't text either. Cellphones still ring when a text message is received so be respectful of what that person's lifestyle is.
Rule # 2. Watch your tone
Like email,your inflection in text can be read wrong. Whether you're trying to flirt or find out if the receiver is really that into you, opt for this one general tip: Don't say anything over text that you wouldn't say in person. Texting is meant to be fun and flirty, so save your little missives for cute quips and witticisms. Avoid overly racy comments unless you've been nudged on the other side first.
Rule # 3. Don't drink and text
This one pretty much speaks for itself. Alcohol and messaging is a cocktail headed for disaster. True, a lot of us do it, but if you're sending messages that are going to embarrass you later, leave you cell at home.You'll thank yourself in the morning. As for the more serious or commitment-bound affairs, pick up the phone and dial. A real voice is sure to get that person in the mood even more.
Rule # 4. Don't overdo it
Don't bombard someone with a million texts. Like instant messaging, know when to end an exchange. We're all busy people and it can make you look obsessive even though that may not have been your intention.
Rule # 5. Don't break up with someone through texting or use it to deal with any other serious issues, for that matter.
Texting does not replace human interaction no matter how much you wish it could. Having a fight with your significant other? Don't deal blows via text; call and fix your issues face-to-face. By the time you finish typing the message, anyway,you could already be enjoying the thrills of a kiss-and-make-up session.
