How To Date A Girl Who Hides Her Feelings

Something is different about relationships when you're a girl who doesn't like to talk about her feelings. It seems a lot more like you aren't interested in connecting with the man you're dating (exclusively or non-exclusively). But it's a lot different for men, because when they don't want to talk about their emotions, it's expected.

Some things you need to understand about women who run from their feelings:

1) She is still interested in you.

Just because a woman isn't as open with her every emotion, or happens to be more passive than aggressive with her problems, doesn't mean she isn't into you. Women like this are more straight-forward than most. If she says she likes you, believe her; she definitely doesn't lie because that would lead to more discussion of emotion. So even if she doesn't say it all the time, she means it when she does.

2) She wants to tell you when she's mad.

When someone repeatedly engages in passive behavior, it's easy to think they are trying to keep you guessing. That probably isn't the case here. While she may want to tell you when something is angering her, she may be afraid of coming off as too clingy or needy, and shy's away from the instinct to say what went wrong right away. If she's acting funny, prompt her to share her feelings. It might not happen right away, but it's helpful to know you cared enough to notice.

3) She likes it when you're forward about your feelings.

While she might be guarded with her own heart, it's not always about you or what happened before you. Sometimes that's just how she is. However, when you share your feelings of affection with her, it could very well lead to the sharing of her feelings. It's a lot easier to say how you feel if you trust the other person feels the same way. If you want her to open up, try opening up first.

4) Her feelings exist.

It is way too easy to think that someone like her is cold and distant. But the most important thing to remember if you want to keep a relationship with her alive is that this is never true. Scared and careful can seem a lot like unemotional and unkind. You should never treat her as if she isn't just as sensitive as anyone else. She will still notice everything you do, but she won't always react openly. It's something you have to accept, because if you begin to act as though she is heartless, the relationship will soon die.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
