Who knew??

What's attractive? We all ask ourselves this maybe daily. I know I do, whenever I see a cute guy, I often find myself wondering why do I find him appealing? Guys and girls a like sometimes have a type, but what makes you fall for someone?

For most people the term "love at first sight" is way off base. Of course we may oogle over a favorite celebs like Patrick Demsey or Angie, but their is more to it than what meets the eye.

Confidence, poise, a sense of humor, being laid-back are all attractive. However different people find different traits attractive as we all know. Maybe that so called "nerd" at the coffee shop with the wide rimmed glasses isn't your so called "type", but hey, give him a chance!

I get so sick of the term "he's too nice". Trust me in a relationship, you want niceness along with of course mystery (as described in a previous blog).

Of course you don't want to settle for a nice guy that you aren't compatible with, but give niceness a chance. After all, that book savy, glasses wearing, coffee-shop goer may end up to be Mr. Wonderful.

Ahh, it's a mystery.

Why is it that we love mystery? When it comes to dating, girls and guys both like a little mystery in their "love interest". Shouldn't we just be as upfront, honest, and simple as possible?? The answer is yes--and no.

Let's face it how many of us are interested completely in someone who is at our becan call 24/7?Truth is, we loose interest when we know what he/she is doing and whom they are doing it with all the time. Of course we want our new interest to be honest, but too much info can be too much. I by no means am an expert when it comes to relationships, but I do know this; leave them wondering from time to time.

Someone once told me, that he/she who is the least concerned with the relationship has the "upper hand". This doesn't mean that this person is untrustworthy or a "dirt-bag". It simply means that the person with the upper hand balances the relationship with friends, and their own interests. Of course you should care about the other person's feelings, but don't get too wrapped up, especially in the beginning stages of the relationship.

Be you, and be true, but protect your heart too. Take things sloooow. Get to know each other before you jump into a status relationship.
