Though Iâ€™d give anything to see sun set, Though Iâ€™d do anything to dance in a full moon. Even a rainbow could be my bed, In a charming rainy wonderful noon. Suddenly a rose was painted on the sky, Dressed in red â€¦ beautiful and shy. I wish if I could pass my fingers through here hair, Or I could have the chance of kissing here eye. Then she disappears while I was in my dreams, Wishing that one day she could reply. Waited & waitedâ€¦ day & night, Soaring with my wings through the cloud. Enjoying her perfume in the air, Keep in searching with no doubt. That she will answer me â€¦I am sure, So I started calling her so loud. Finally she answersâ€¦oh my god, She is living in golden crystal heart. I kept looking at her all that night, After she aims my body with a magical dart. From that moment I closed my eyes, Knowing that a love story should start. We kept talking together every day, Enjoying her talented romantic way. Knowing every thing about her soul, She got her magicâ€¦she got it all. Every minute passes I realize, There is a world in her eyes. Music was born in her lips, Reviving romance from the depth. A cascade of Words is not enough To fulfill such a beautiful charming mind, So if we start we should gonna say, How she is wise, emotional, sweet and kind. So I hope that we never get apart Wishing I could stole her heart.

They don't have to be this way though. Here are 10 tips to you have a successful blind date! <ol><li>Plan & Prepare. First impressions are important as we generally form an impression of a person within just minutes of meeting them. Blind dates are no different. Your first impressions sets the stage for the entire date, so be sure to prepare in advance! Preparing yourself when it comes to appearances, select clothing that is appropriate for your date, such as casual for a movie or a little dressier for a nice dinner date. Do not wear clothes that are too revealing, strange, or over the top. Get a fresh haircut or trim so that you look neat and well put together. You should also trim your nails (manicures and/or pedicures are always nice), shine your shoes, and/or iron your clothes, if needed. While this may be obvious, make sure that you shower, shave, and smell good. While a bit of cologne or perfume can be sexy, do not overdo it. Remember, you only have once chance at a first impression, so make it a good one! Plan Ahead, But Be Flexible Plan your evening ahead, but stay flexible so that you can easily change your plans if needed. If you've planned a night at a party, but realize that your date is more quiet and reserved, why not try a quiet dinner date? Who Pays If your date indicates that he is paying, it's up to you whether you take him up on that offer. Because this is your first meeting, you may want to make it clear from the start that you intend to pay for half of everything, that way you avoid feeling as if you owe him anything. </li><li>Blind Date Safety. Blind dates can be fun and exciting, but remember that this is your first meeting. If you were set up by mutual friends, you may know a bit about the person and your friends may have an idea of your date plans. If not, you'll want to take a few extra precautions. Make sure that a friend knows where you will be and at what times, as well as the name of the person. Carry a cell phone with you at all times as a precaution. Another option is to make the first date a "double" date, so that you can have a friend join you. </li><li>Where To Go (and what to do). The number one rule is to pick a public place. Not only is there safety in numbers, but you're likely to feel more relaxed and have fun when you're in a public place. For a blind date, you generally want to avoid the standard dinner date. If the date is not going well, you're stuck together for the entire meal. The same goes for movies and any other activity that generally lasts more than one hour. Keep the date short and simple because with shorter date plans, you can make a quick exit if you're not interested. If you are interested, you can stick around or arrange to meet up again in the future. You may also want to figure cost into the date factor. It's better to keep the date in the low-to-mid price range so that neither person feels pressure. This is especially important if one person is taking care of all of the date expenses. Whatever you decide, do something fun where you can have a good time and get to know each other. A few good options: </li><ul><li>Meet for coffee </li><li>A dessert date in the evening </li><li>Meet for lunch during the week </li><li>Miniature golf </li><li>Bowling </li></ul></ol> Whatever you do, keep your activities comfortable, casual, and not over the top. A blind date is not the time to try new and exotic cuisines or to bungee jump. <ol><li>The First Meeting. Arrive a little early and offer a polite greeting and handshake when he/she arrives. Smile and be friendly, even if you are nervous. Men, be a gentleman and open doors, hang up her coat, pull out her chair, etc. Women, be polite and thank him if he does these things for you. </li><li>Be Open Minded. Remember that this is a blind date. If you set your expectations too high, you will surely be disappointed. Secretly, we may all want good looking, highly intellectual, slapstick funny dates with an abundance of cash. That's not reality though. Stay open minded and free of high expectations for your date. This will allow you to relax and have a good time rather than setting yourself up for disappointment should the date not go well. </li><li>Be Yourself. It's easier said than done, but relax, relax, relax. One of the biggest mistakes that people make on blind dates is trying to be someone that they aren't. Just be yourself. Do not feel pressure to wear heels if you normally wear sandals. If you feel more comfortable in jeans and a sweater, don't take her to a 5-start restaurant. During the date, answer questions honestly and talk candidly about yourself without exaggerating. Remember, your date wants to know who you are; not who you your date wants you to be. </li><li>Making Conversation. Conversation is extremely important to the success of a blind date. Getting it started and keeping it going is essential. Think of a few general, light topics to bring up in the beginning. Ask about her family or his friends. Keep the conversation light, but really try to get to know them. Do: </li><ul><li>Ask about him. </li><li>Ask about her family and friends. </li><li>Ask about what he or she does for a living. </li><li>Compliment your date. </li><li>Ask about his or her interests and hobbies. </li><li>Discuss music, film, food, and art. </li><li>Talk about yourself (but not the entire time!) </li><li>Show an interest in what he or she is saying. </li><li>Stimulate the conversation with open-ended questions. </li></ul></ol> Do Not: <ol><ul><li>Discuss past relationships </li><li>Talk in depth about topics that don't interest the other person. </li><li>Speak badly about others. </li><li>Say anything stupid, mean, or inconsiderate. </li><li>Monopolize the conversation. </li><li>Cross-examine your date. </li><li>Ask close-ended questions that require only a 'yes' or 'no' answer. </li></ul></ol> Body Language Also remember that first impressions are not just based on appearance, but on the way you communicate with your words, tone of voice, and body language as well. In fact, body language is actually the most important when it comes to communication. Don't focus on your body language so much that it feels forced because it will come across that way to your date as well. Relax and react appropriately. Keep your eyes on your date, not on yourself or others around you. If you're having a good time, give your date signs that you're enjoying their company. <ol><li>Things to Watch. While you should never go into a blind date with bad expectations, you should keep an eye out for a few 'warning signs'. </li><ul><li>He or she is wearing a wedding ring. </li><li>He or she talks about past relationships throughout the date. </li><li>He speaks badly about his mother or ex-girlfriends. </li><li>He doesn't offer to pay (unless it was agreed to go dutch). </li><li>He or she is rude to you directly. </li><li>He or she treats the waiters rudely or doesnâ€™t tip. </li><li>He or she drinks a lot. </li><li>He or she does not pay attention to you (i.e. they answer cell phone calls during the date, etc). </li><li>Be aware of everything he or she says and how they say it. </li><li>He or she displays any other disturbing, addictive, mentally ill, or criminal behavior. </li></ul></ol> While there may be little things that you don't like about the person, such as their clothing or hygiene, it's the bigger things that you need to keep an eye out for. You do not want to end up with a self-absorbed, high-maintenance, or worse, an abusive person. <ol><li>Exit Strategy. In the even that a blind date isn't going well, be sure to have an exit plan in place. Have a friend on standby and a cell phone on hand at all times. If needed, excuse yourself to the bathroom and call your friend, having him/her call you back in 5 minutes informing you of an emergency for which you are needed. You may want to have your backup plan set ahead of time by arranging your friend to call 30 minutes into the date and use that as your out if needed. Another option would be tell inform him that you have plans an hour after the two of you are set to meet. If the date is going well, you can call and "cancel" these plans. If it's not going well, you have your out. </li><li>Ending The Date. Saying goodbye at the end of a blind date has the potential to be very awkward. When the date is over, do what feels right. No matter what, you should remember to thank the other person. If your date went well, be sure to let them know that and mention that you'd really like to see them again. If it didn't go well, then you should not suggest or agree to meeting again, nor should you give your phone number or say you'll call them. This can string him/her along and create creates false hopes and impressions. It's generally better to be honest and upfront, but do it politely. If you don't want to see them again, say something like "I don't think we have a lot in common." Always be kind and make every effort to spare his or her feelings. </li></ol>Blind dates do not differ much from other first dates. With these ten tips, your blind date will hopefully turn into a second date! Romance & Relationships http://www.zorpia.com/shakespearinlove/journal/1510126 Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:59 EST St.Valentine's Day History http://www.zorpia.com/shakespearinlove/journal/1464263 The History Of Valentine's Day             St. Valentine's Day is celebrated every February, across the world,             candies, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in             the name of St. Valentine. Have you ever wondepurple why do we             celebrate this day and after whom? What is the history and reason             behind this world wide celebration?             Valentine's Day is celebrated after St. Valentine, everybody knows             this but still the history of Valentine's day and its patron saint             is shrouded in mystery. Who was Saint Valentine and how did he             become associated with this ancient rite? There are different             stories about it.             Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different             saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martypurple.             One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during             the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that             single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families,             he outlawed marriage for young men. St. Valentine, realizing the             injustice of the emperor, defied Claudius and continued to perform             marriages for young lovers secretly. When Valentine's actions were             discovepurple, Claudius condemned him to be beaten to death with             clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffepurple martyrdom on the             14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the             custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the             month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honor of a heathen god.             On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names             of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by             the men as chance directed.            According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first             'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that             Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his             jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before             his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed             'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today.             Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the             stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic,             and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the             Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England             and France.             While there is another belief that Valentine's Day is celebrated in             the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's             death or burial -- which probably occurpurple around 270 A.D --             others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate             Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to             'Christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In             ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was             considepurple a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed             by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat             called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at             the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival             dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the             Roman founders Romulus and Remus. To begin the festival, members of             the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the             sacpurple cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of             Rome, were believed to have been capurple for by a she-wolf or lupa.             The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog,             for purification. The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips,             dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently             slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips.             Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the             hides because it was believed the strips would make them more             fertile in the coming year.

From my experience, talking about people you have "Met on the Net" is a surefire way to distance yourself from your friends and family as most will not understand how you can learn enough about someone, without meeting them in person, to consider engaging in a relationship with them. From my experience, talking about people you have "Met on the Net" is a surefire way to distance yourself from your friends and family as most will not understand how you can learn enough about someone, without meeting them in person, to consider engaging in a relationship with them. People who search for love on-line must keep a grip on reality, an open mind and not allow unrealistic expectations to surface. It is vitally important to realize that you truly have no idea whom you are actually communicating with, whether they are alone as they correspond, if they are who and what they say they are, or if they have become an "expert" at Cyber affairs. They see it as a place where they can act out their fantasies, pretend to be someone they are not, or reve themselves to unknown entities scattered around the globe. Call it reverse-voyeurism. Men often have a one track mind, and many women appear quite similar, guarded, and commonly describe Superman as thetype of guy they would most like to meet. If Superman is out there, he won't be surfing the net as he will have been snagged by Superwoman.

If Superman is out there, he won't be surfing the net as he will have been snagged by Superwoman. There is some good news. Chat rooms do serve a purpose in that they allow you to meet people that you would normally never come in contact with. from across the world . People are often more willing to talk about themselves over the screen, than they are in person. Because words are often all that can be seen, the feelings and thoughts expressed are open to the interpretation of the recipient. How a person receives a message might be at odds with the intent in which it was written. We have a tendency to read into messages what we were hoping to find -- whether it was actually said or not. What's missing from the interpretation phase are intonation patterns. A simple statement such as, "that's right" has many possible pronunciations and the way it was implied is not always the way it will be interpreted. Depending on where the emphasis is placed it may be a simple statement, a polite rebuff or somewhere in between. Many people use symbols (such as Â¤, or !) or short phrases (ha, ha or boo hoo) to express their emotional intent. What's missing from the interpretation phase are intonation patterns.

If you decide to meet in person, do so in a very public place at an active time of day and take along a friend. If you use the net with common sense and see it as a means to an end, not an end unto itself, it just might help you meet someone special.If you use the net with common sense and see it as a means to an end, not an end unto itself, it just might help you meet someone special.
