			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://candiekisses.net/my-boyfriend-broke-up-with-me/">Breaking up</a> can be a life changing experience. Most girls feel that when they are in a committed relationship, that that person is THE ONE. Girls envision themselves married to this guy and having his kids. Other times, though, breaking up is no big deal. It&#8217;s easy to move on the next available hunk. But this article is for the one that got away. What do you do pick yourself up? Can you two get back together?</p>
<p><img src="http://candiekisses.net/wp-content/uploads/breakup-300x231.jpg" alt="breakup" title="breakup" width="300" height="231" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-178" /></p>
<p>If you and your boyfriend had a heated break up, it&#8217;s best to take a breather and take a week or two away from each other. One might be angry while the other is frustrated. Whatever the reason is, take a break from each other. After a week or two, you might want to either text, email or physically write a letter. <span id="more-171"></span>Having no contact is best in the beginning if you feel you two should still be together. In the letter or email state that you still want to talk things through and that you feel your relationship is worth the fight.</p>
<p>Another suggestion is to go to counseling before the big break up. If you notice more argument and more frustration, then consider talking to someone. If your partner wants to save the relationship then they will go to a counselor. It may take some persuading and some time but eventually the other person will go if they truly want to save the relationship. Talking to a third party will enable more controlled talking and less yelling.</p>

Not all relationships are smooth sailing.  You will have your ups and downs and rough spots which is just a normal part of your relationship. This doesn&#8217;t mean you are doomed as a couple. With some reevaluation, both of you can find your way again after your <a href="http://candiekisses.net/relationship-hits-a-speed-bump/">relationship hits a speed bump</a>. Here are the steps to regain footing in your relationship.<span id="more-150"></span><br />

<h3>Steps To Build Back Your Relationship</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ask Each Other Why The Love is Gone &#8211; Whether it&#8217;s due to stress, differing views on children and marriage or work, finding what caused the break in your relationship is key to mending it.</li>
<li>Let Your Feelings Out &#8211; Once you find out the cause of the discord in your relationship, both of you need to talk about your feelings. This isn&#8217;t the time to argue and try to &#8220;win&#8221; your way. To cut down the feelings of wanting to argue, go to a park or cafe and have a reasonable discussion. Try talking in 2-minute intervals so that both of you can get your say in your feelings.</li>
<li>Decide if You Need a Break &#8211; Taking a break could be beneficial to your relationship. If you find that you lost yourself in the relationship, a break can help. Regardless, it&#8217;s important that both of you realize the problem and decide together if it is worth fixing it.</li>
<li>Rekindle Your Love &#8211; If you choose to work on your relationship, now is the good time to try and rekindle the feelings you two had when you fell in love. Plan date night and go back to places where you two were first dating. Also try to reconnect more emotionally by sharing your feelings more.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You tell your girlfriends that &#8220;he&#8217;s the one.&#8221;  He makes you laugh and feel beautiful; you think he&#8217;s ultra sexy and can&#8217;t keep you mind off of him.  The chemistry between you two is sizzling and kissing him causes you goose bumps every time.  Before you two get serious, though, your man should have some traits to show you that he&#8217;s a keeper.  Here are <a href="http://candiekisses.net/4-traits-your-boyfriend-should-have">four traits your bf should definitely have</a>.<br />
<img src="http://candiekisses.net/wp-content/uploads/hotguy-200x300.jpg" alt="hotguy" title="hotguy" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-144"><span id="more-139"></span></p>
<h3> He Is Responsible With His Finances</h3>
<p>Money is a serious topic in a relationship.  As most divorce couples argued over money, knowing that your guy is level-headed when it comes to finances is a good starting point in your serious relationship.  Some signs to know that he&#8217;s responsible with money are:</p>
<ul>
<li>He Keeps His Receipts &#8211; This shows that he is organized and keeps tracks of what he spends.</li>
<li>He Uses Credit Cards and His Debit Card &#8211; This shows that he has money in the bank and isn&#8217;t putting everything on his credit card.</li>
<li>You Notices Many Credit Card Offerings In The Mail &#8211; This shows he has good credit.</li>
</ul>
<h3> He Has Reasonable Long-Time Goals</h3>
<p>A sure sign that he&#8217;s in it for the long haul is when he expresses to you that he has some long-time goals and knows what he wants in his life.  Make sure he wants a career and that he plans to get married and have children.</p>
<h3> He Is Open To Your Suggestions</h3>
<p>Most guys will not change for your entirely but if they are open to some change then you know he really has fallen for you.  For example, if he changes his hair style or clothing attire, then you know that you are more important than what he looks like.</p>
<h3>He Is Optimistic</h3>
<p>Men who are cheery and optimistic will have fabulous relationships.  Women are attracted by a confident and optimistic fellow who can see the light at the end of the tunnel.</p>
<p>You have a keeper if your guy possess these qualities so make sure to keep him!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve been seeing this fella for a while now and he is becoming boyfriend material.  Well, your fella may not think you&#8217;re girlfriend material and may still be seeing other girls.  So what are his make or break dating moments?</p>
<p>Well, guys tend to see their dating partner as serious girlfriend material after they usually see her in some hair razing, sticky filled situations.  Here are four &#8220;real&#8221; ways to make sure you&#8217;re a keeper in his life.</p>
<p><img src="http://candiekisses.net/wp-content/uploads/couple-300x200.jpg" alt="couple" title="couple" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9" /><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p><strong>You Get Cutesy Mad</strong><br />
Fellas seem to love when women get really pent up and full of rage.  But it&#8217;s how women get really pent up that can break or make a dating moment.  If a woman starts getting mad and not explaining herself, her fella will ultimately retreat quietly.  However, if a woman explains why she is soo upset and mad it can show her man that she can be rational and honest with him.</p>
<p><strong>You Start Wearing His Clothes Around</strong><br />
When a woman is secure enough to dawdle around in her man&#8217;s boxers or t-shirts with no makeup on, it shows her fella that this is the real deal.  Around this time, a couple is seeing more of each other and developing a routine: hanging out Friday night while blowing off your friends and staying over at his house till Sunday.  Being around each other 24/7 tests the relationship to see if you two can live together.  So don&#8217;t be afraid to not shave occasionally or forget to wear your falsies.  Your fella will love seeing the real you.</p>
<p><strong>You Embarrass Yourself In Front Of Him</strong><br />
Okay, so you and your guy are on this ultra romantic date and you end up tripping and bust your lip open.  Guys like when they see a woman who doesn&#8217;t take life too seriously.  So laugh it off.  When a woman can laugh at her self, it shows her guy that you can roll with the punches.</p>
<p><strong>Hearing About His Ex In Stride</strong><br />
Obviously your man has ex-girlfriends so don&#8217;t fool yourself.  When you can tolerate hearing about them by not reacting all crazy, then it shows your man that you are secure in their relationship.  When a man sees no jealously or insecurity, they know that they have a keeper.</p>
<p>Showing your man these sticky situations will undoubtedly cause him to think more seiously about your relationship.  Give it a try and see if they work.</p>
