After a tough breakup, many people gorge themselves in the nearest pint of ice cream and attempt to forget their sorrows.  Shortly thereafter, it’s common for them to experience a rush of self-confidence; they’re determined to enjoy being single.  However, the rush and the ice cream therapy can’t last forever.

It’s easy to assume going back to your ex is okay if you have a change of heart.  And in some cases, it’s acceptable to retry a failed relationship.  However, it’s important to fully analyze your breakup, your ex and your plans for the future before rekindling the flame.  Here are a few things to consider:

Rihanna and Chris Brown recently spent time working on the other’s songs, which were released on Monday.  This collaboration was completely unexpected after the domestic violence drama the two went through in 2009.  However, according to People, the pair were spending time together the night of the Grammy’s, which marked three years since the incident.  On Twitter the former couple have been displaying friendly behavior.  The lyrics Brown sings in Rihanna’s song are inappropriate; however, they do suggest he is missing her.  Rihanna’s lyrics are more straight forward: “I love you baby,” she sings.

Dear Heidi Lee,

Help! I think I’m a Toad!

I’m on an online dating site, and I lie about who I am … I use my sister’s photo.  I play down my interests — leaving out that I’m Jim Carrey’s ex and a former Playboy model.  I feel guilty for lying, but I can’t be honest because of stalkers, psychos and creeps.  I want a regular, low-key guy who can throw back a burger and a beer in a bowling alley …

Don’t these guys have the right to know up front that my world is paparazzi and tabloids?  Do I have the right to lure them with false promises of an All-American romance with the girl next door?

Who am I to lie to these men?  A Toad?

xoxo,
Jenny

Denise Richards has certainly proven herself to be a dedicated single mom.  Richards is a former supermodel and mother of three (two of who she had with ex-husband Charlie Sheen).  When Sheen had his outbursts last year, Richards knew better then to continue to lie to her children and keep them in the dark.  She decided to educate her daughters about the cause of those outbursts: addiction.  According to UsMagazine.com, Richards said, “It’s too early [for them to understand], but I told them enough for them to make sense of things that were going on.”  There’s no doubt that single parents can use Richards as an example.

If you’re looking for love online and haven’t found it yet, perhaps all it takes is a little offline help.  You see, many singles meet potential partners online and carry on great conversations via email but sometimes that’s as far as it ever goes.  Or, they spend weeks, even months, emailing someone that they think could be a long-term partner but when they meet in person they realize that they have nothing in common.  Online dating is a brilliant way to meet someone new but the the real connection happens when two people are face-to-face.  That’s why we were excited when we saw the launch of HowAboutWe.com’s recent commercial, Chemisty Happens Offline.  HowAboutWe.com really “gets it.”  They influence their members to get out there and go on dates when they find an initial connection.  In fact, they are so committed to this idea that they are running a very cool contest asking people to submit their own video explaining what “Chemisty Happens Offline” means to them.  The video with the most votes could walk away with $1,500.  Here’s a look at the video we pulled together:

Here are five reasons why we at CupidsPulse.com feel that people need to go offline to find love:

1. Unflattering Photos: Some people aren’t photogenic and they actually look better in person than they do in a photo.  Someone’s personality and mannerisms can also add to a person’s attractiveness.  As they say, Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.  It’s hard to get an impression or build chemistry from a one-dimensional image.

Just because Valentine’s Day is over doesn’t mean single women can breathe a sigh of relief.  Talk of spring romance is just around the corner, and many single women are still not feeling the love.  For them, Valentine’s Day was more like Valencrime’s Day.  It’s hard for women, especially those over 35, to believe that there’s true love out there for them.  When friends and family tell you that you’re too picky, thereby implying that you should settle, remember to close your ears.  Instead, listen to what your heart is telling you.  The fact is, your close ones don’t have to live with the guy … you do.
