How to get your EX back!

by Leslie Star » Advice, Love Advice, Tip of the Day

Typically I would suggest that you don’t try and rekindle your relationship with your ex boyfriend/girlfriend. They are an EX for a reason. However there are certain exceptions to the rule.

1. If you feel like your have lost your heart and the only way to feel whole again is to rekindle your lost love then go right ahead and try.

2. If you both moved away and you somehow lost touch..

3. After years of missing each other and realizing your mistakes, you try and contact each other.

In my opinion these are the only reasons to start up the failed relationship again.

Here is the How To Guide to Get Your EX Back:

Work on yourself after the breakup. Join a gym or work on your fitness like Fergie says.

Get a makeover. Nothing makes you feel more confident than a total new look.

Find a new hobby that is just for yourself. Nothing is hotter than a person that has their sh*t together.

Be relentless in trying to get them back. Don’t be a stalker or anything but send them flowers frequently. Try not to go all cheesy with teddy bears and all that cause it looks desperate even though you are. Even if you are desperate doesn’t mean you want to look like you are.

Ask to meet for coffee. As soon as they see you looking all hot and such they are going to want you back.

Send them a heart felt email. Tell them how much you miss them in your life and it’s not the same without them.

Try lavishing them with gifts if you have enough cash for that. Sure you can’t buy love with money but you can sure try.

Write them a song and record yourself singing it. It could go really bad if you can’t sing but let your friends listen to it first for their opinion so you don’t look like a fool if it sounds terrible.

Send their parents a gift. If they still live at home then most likely their parents have a little to do with telling them to forget about you. Try to win them over and you will be set.

Be yourself but a better version. Your relationship went down hill because you were probably comfortable and started to not try as hard. Get your life back on track and your ex will definitely take notice.

Make your ex question them self. Be so good to them that they question why you guys ever broke up in the first place. I know it’s bad to say this.. but if you have to put on a show to get them back then do it.

Do some research on how to get your ex back. Go to Chapters or some book store and go to the love/relationship section. Read all you can about winning the love of your life back.

If all fails and you are still trying but nothing is working then I am sorry to break it to you, but give it up. Desperation is not attractive and if they see that in you they are not going to be interested.

You don’t want them anyways if you have tried everything and they still don’t want to get back together.

Use your energy to get someone new and you will be much happier.

How To Choose A Career

How To Choose A Career That’s Best For You

Career Choice

Are you just out of high school and still have no idea what you want to be when you “grow up?”

Well you are not the only one. Millions of people just like you every year go through the stress of trying to find out what they want to be just out of school.

How do you know what you want to be for the rest of your life? A lot happens in a couple of years and it is so hard to tell whether or not you will even like the same type of stuff.

I am 27 years old and just now found out what I want to do. I want to be an event planner and plan any party from Stagettes, Weddings, Birthdays and all.

I never wanted to waste my money going to school and taking classes that I wasn’t at all interested in.

The most important part is DON’T PANIC!!! Everything works itself out eventually.

I am coming up on my 10 year reunion pretty soon and honestly, it scares the living sh*t out of me.

To face all the people in high school again.. YIKES!!!!!

I have been thinking about what I wanted to be since I was a little girl. I wanted to be a cheerleader, singer, dancer, actress and finally now I want to plan amazing parties. I would love to plan a birthday party for Britney Spears or some huge star. That would be the ultimate for me.

My niece has also decided that she would like to pursue a career as an event planner as well so we are going to go to school together starting in September.

This is what you should do to help you decide

1. Write down on a piece of paper all the things that you are good at or that you really enjoy.

2. Write down all the things you hate doing or you are horrible at.

3. Ask friends and family what they think you are good at. It always helps to have an outside view on things.

4. Put yourself out there. If you want to be a writer than email y0ur local newspaper and see if they need any assistance. Even if you photocopy there you will get to see what the people’s moods are like.. You will get to know their lifestyle and see if that is how you want to live.

5. Take some classes. I have considered going back to school for a long time but I didn’t want to waste my money on a class that I would never use. Research your local colleges or universites and see if they have classes that aren’t too expensive or last a year or more. This way you will get a feel for the class and who knows, you may end up hating it but if it’s a short term just get through it and it won’t waste your funds. Also if you can easily teach yourself then take an online course. Make sure you do your homework though because it will catch up to you really fast if you don’t.

6. If a field interests you, learn as much as you can about it. Look stuff up on the Internet or go to the library and do your own research in what kind of qualifications you need for this ideal job.

7. Volunteer at different events around your city. You will get to know more people and don’t hesitate to ask them what their career is and ask if they like it and what kind of skills they have.

8. Keep positive and know that everything will work out. If you have a bad attitude it makes it awfully difficult to keep your eyes and ears open for new and exciting possibilities.

9. Don’t be stuck in a box. Be open minded. If you want to be a famous singer but you can’t sing then don’t rule it out. If you like the flashy life style and your a good writer, consider writing lyrics for a famous singer. That way you will get out there and everyone will know who you are for being such a great writer.

10. Don’t give up. I use to get down a lot because most of my friends had already picked their career and I was still in the dark about what I wanted to be. Everything happens for a reason and maybe it’s because you haven’t had enough life experience yet to realize what you want t0 be.

I hope that these tips have helped you.

How To Attract The Opposite Sex

Tips On How To Get The Opposite Sex Noticing You

Ever wonder why no one ever asks you out?

It might seem like you will never get a date but I am absolutely positive that if you just change a few things about yourself you won’t be alone for very much longer.

Here are a few tips that might help you snag a boyfriend/girlfriend.

1. Always look and act your very best.

2. Keep your nails and hair manicured. It is so unattractive when some one’s nails are dirty or their hair is shaggy. Always keep in mind that if you think no one notices that sort of thing you are wrong.

3. Always wear clean or new shoes. If I see a really cute guy and his shoes are nasty it is automatically a turn off. It shoes me that he doesn’t really care about his appearance and trust me.. If they already look bad and you start to go out with them it only gets worse.

4. If your a girl and you wear open toed shoes in the summer please dear god paint your toe nails. No one likes to look at dirty unkept feet. So gross. Keep new nail polish on them or just put a clear coat. Same goes for the guys.. Make sure your toe nails aren’t long and you don’t have any foot fungus…

5. Make sure to frequently moisturize. It is very noticeable when you don’t take care of your skin. Exfoliate too. It makes you look so much older if you don’t apply lotion regularly. Also wear sunblock too!

6. Always smell your best. Wear fresh deodorant, cologne and perfume. Don’t put on too much perfume either because that could repel your match too. Make sure you brush your teeth all the time. Nothing is worse than bad breath, so floss every day and carry mints or gum with you.

7. Walk with confidence even if you don’t have any. If you don’t have any.. you should get some. You are a unique person and you deserve for everyone to know that. There is a huge difference in confidence and and being conceited, so check yourself when you start to get a swollen head.

8. Don’t brag about yourself or name drop if you know someone that’s important. That is a total turn off. Make sure that you reveal that sort of thing once you have gone out with someone a couple of times. There is nothing worse than someone who thinks they are way cooler than they are.

9. Be the best person that you can be. Always be patient, kind and honest.

10. Try doing something new. If you get stuck into a rut and do everything the same everyday than of course you will never meet anyone new. Join a new sport team or volunteer at the nearest hospital (doctors.. hello!) or animal shelter. Everyone loves someone that helps others.

11. Try new hang outs. If you want to meet someone wealthy go to where to doctors go for lunch or go to a park and sit in the rich side of town. Depending on who you want for a mate is where you will have to start hanging out.

12. Ask your friends what is wrong with you and why you can’t get a date. Tell them to be completely honest with you.. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It could be you have a really bad fashion sense or you drink way too much and make a fool out of yourself. Whatever it is don’t take offense cause they are trying to help you. It is called constructive criticism. Use it and keep it in mind when you completely overhaul yourself. When you get a complete makeover.. Mind and body.. keep in mind that you still want to be yourself but you just want to be a better you.

13. Keep yourself shaved or plucked. If you have mustache hair and your a girl then please keep that under control. Use wax or depilatory cream and always keep your legs and armpits shaved as it also helps you have more confidence. If your a guy and you look like Santa Clause no one is going to want to date you if they can’t even see your face. Keep minimal to no facial hair and after you snag a girl feel free to show her your true colors after she falls head over heals for you.

14. Don’t use too much product in your hair! It looks so greasy and people will start to wonder if you ever take a shower. Use minimal gel or mouse. You don’t want to look like a porcupine. That is not attractive.

15. Take care of your belongings..

Example: Keep your car washed and detailed – You don’t have to have a brand new car to get a mate.

Keep your shoes clean and polished, sunglasses wiped etc. Girls are especially picky when it comes to these things.

Keep your clothes neat and pressed and never leave the house with wrinkles in your clothes. Always look polished.

You may think that some of these tips are outrageous but the fact is you want a mate right? Pay attention to detail because others notice everything. You have about 2 seconds to really catch a potential dates eye, so be on your best behavior. When you get home feel free to be a complete slob but when you out in public be the best you possible.

You’ll have a date in no time!!! Let me know how it goes.
