It’s a known fact that opposites attract, but even those destined for each other need to find common ground. So this season, if you can’t stand the heat while your partner is soaking up the sun – or if you’re basking in 100 degree temps while your lover is counting the days to December – try switching things up a bit. Here are five fiery and five frosty things to do with your significant other this summer:

It seems to be a trend. According to People, after Sergeant Scott Moore of the Marines invited Friends With Benefits star Mila Kunis to the Marine Corps Ball, a female Marine decided to follow suit and give it a try with Justin Timberlake. Kelsey De Santis, a Virginia-based Marine, made her own YouTube video, asking Timberlake out to her own Marine Corps Ball, November 12. She added a little catch at the end: “…if you can’t go, all I can say is cry me a river.” Justin has not yet responded.

Searching for some date ideas? Cupid’s got you covered! Treat your love to an exciting day at the local or state fair.
Going on a date to the fair will add excitement to your romantic relationship. Since fairs come once a year in most areas, it’s worth it to put a day aside and attend one. Not only will you make great memories and enjoy yourselves, but you’ll both feel young again.
The best parts about a fair are the rides and food. Nothing is more romantic than riding the ferris wheel with your partner and looking at the skyline together. Consider taking a ride on the merry-go-round, too. And what could be more delicious than cotton candy, funnel cakes and elephant ears?

Want a date with a celebrity? It turns out it’s not quite as far-fetched as you may think! Actress Mila Kunis has taken us all by surprise by accepting a blind date offer from a soldier currently serving in Afghanistan, according to People. Sgt. Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines, posted a video of himself asking Kunis to the Marine Corps Ball November 18th on YouTube. Kunis wasn’t originally aware of the invitation, but as she and her Friends With Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake were being interviewed by Fox News, Timberlake encouraged Kunis to accept the offer. He said, “Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? You need to do it for your country.” In reply, Kunis said, “I’ll do it.”

Although stories of cheating men have been dominating the news lately and falling out of love seems to be happening a lot more frequently than people are falling in love, the situation isn’t exclusive to men. Losing those loving feelings for your husband or boyfriend can happen just as easily to women. If you’ve experienced this in the past or maybe you’re going through it with your partner now, the first step is to be aware of why it’s happening. Follow these five reasons your fairy-tale romance could be slipping away:
1. Feeling Adored
It’s important that a woman feels appreciated by her partner. Men are usually good at this in the beginning of a relationship when it’s still new, but as the novelty ends, the attention may die down, too. Just look at Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer. She broke up with him because he was obsessed with Twitter, telling her that he was too busy for her, but in the meantime, his Twitter page was saturated.
2. Bored to Tears
We want excitement! And, if we can’t have that, give us variety. If a relationship gets into a rut and you end up doing the same things every weekend or having sex in the same positions every time, a woman can get bored and lose interest altogether. Both people need to put some work into the relationship or they’ll find themselves quickly falling out of love.
It looks like Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham is learning exactly what it’s like to be a parent to her 2-year-old daughter Sophia. Abraham, who recently went under the knife for a breast augmentation to aid in her modeling career, is now having second thoughts on her career choice, according to UsMagazine.com. In a preview clip airing Tuesday, Abraham said that she’s nervous about leaving Sophia when she has to go away for photo shoots. When her mom Debra asked her about how she felt on her most recent trip, she said, “I was really sad but I kept it professional; I definitely think it’s hard being in modeling and being a mom.”

A smell can ignite a flood of memories. Your mom’s perfume may remind you of snuggling with her as a child, and your fruity body splash may remind you of awkward middle school days where you passed notes to your best friend and giggled about your crush. Your first boyfriend’s cologne may remind you of your first kiss and innocent love. And like these memories all hold a special place in your heart, you want your perfume to be a sort of signature, right?
Perfume is personal. It’s meant to be an intimate adornment – something that’s noticed when your guy leans in to give you a kiss or gets a whiff when he whispers in your ear. And I’m here to tell you there’s more to buying perfume than choosing it by how it smells in the bottle.
Have you ever noticed how you’ll spritz a perfume sample in the air at the store, fall in LOVE with it, make the purchase, but later realize that it doesn’t smell quite as good as you remember? Perfume actually reacts with your body chemistry, which can affect the way it smells after you wear it.

Saturday was a time of ultimate applause for Yankees baseball player, Derek Jeeter.

There to witness her beau making history was Jeeter’s girlfriend Minka Kelly cheering him on. In fact, Jeeter had a luxury box full of support. Kelly shared in the applause for her boyfriend alongside his family and friends.

There was yet another reason to celebrate on July 4th, as Chris Tyrrell proposed to Hillary Scott during a romantic sunset on Independence Day. “Chris proposed exactly the way I’ve always dreamed. Our families were close by, but it was just us out on a beautiful deck overlooking a lake in East Tennessee,” the Lady Antebellum lead singer told People. The proposal was romantic, yet casual, as it took place during a hike and the couple was wearing work-out attire. Although the wedding date is not yet set, the couple looks forward to “forever together.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton might be busy while sightseeing abroad, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t able to spend some time alone together. People reported that the royal couple had three hours of solitude while visiting Canada’s Northwest Territories known as “Honeymoon Island” on Tuesday. The area is known to have the slowest sunset on the planet, which the royal couple was able to enjoy. This is said to be the second time the couple were able to spend the day together alone. On Canada Day, Prince William and his wife paddled a canoe and had a picnic in a log cabin.

Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger still feels guilty over the end of his 25 year marriage to ex Maria Shriver. According to RadarOnline, the ex-governor is prepared to give his ex a hefty settlement in the divorce, much more than is required under California state law. Both Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s lawyers seem to be getting along and are working together to come to a joint settlement. Schwarzenegger said he is the one to blame for the collapse of his marriage, and he is willing to give Shriver whatever she needs. He’s also filing for joint custody of the couple’s sons, which is a decision Shriver agrees with because she still wants her ex to remain a major part of their children’s lives. It’s so sad to see the end of such a seemingly perfect marriage, but at least the pair are putting their differences aside to do what is best for their children and themselves.

What’s more romantic than lying under the stars with your boo? Pretty close to nothing! Summer is the perfect time to live out your dating fantasies, and what better way to do this than by star gazing at the beach?
Don’t dress for a day to play in the sand, but instead wear some comfy clothes and bring a nice blanket to cuddle up in with your beau. It’ll guard against the cool breeze that comes off the water at night, and it’ll also be a good excuse for the two of you to snuggle closer.
Pack a bottle of wine and some dinner to create your own romance scene. You can even set the mood with some slow music or even a cute playlist that the two of you created together, some inscents,or even a few candles. Now tell me that doesn’t sound like a story book ending!

Brad Pitt, who once said in an interview that he and Angelina Jolie wouldn’t get married until everyone had the same rights, gave a statement to People on the recent legalization of same sex marriage in New York. He said that although it’s encouraging that New York granted equal marriage rights to its citizens, every American has the Constitutional right to marry whomever they love, regardless of the state they reside in. He believes that someday this discrimination will end and everyone will have the equal right to marriage.

July 4th is a day of extravagant celebration that’s incredibly hyped every year. Not only is it America’s Independence Day, but it also marks the day that David and Victoria Beckham said “I do.” This year, the couple celebrated twelve years of marriage. The soccer star told RadarOnline.com, “It’s a special day for us, it always has been and always will be.” The couple has all the more reason to be ecstatic, with a baby girl on the way.

It’s official! Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnilo have agreed to have their wedding recorded live, according to UsMagazine.com. However, Lachey admits that having cameras at their wedding wasn’t an easy decision. “We kind of wrestled with that for a while, for obvious reasons,” he told reporters Saturday during his bachelor party at TAO in Las Vegas. “Having done reality TV in the past, I didn’t necessarily want to jump right back into it without having thought it through to great length, and we did.” A reason the singer agreed to have cameras on his special day was because they weren’t going to stay there for long. “It’s a one-off special; a chance to kind of have a great experience and a great moment in our lives documented on TV, and also for us, to have a great wedding video at the end of it,” he said of their TLC wedding special, which will be broadcast shortly after the couple swaps vows.

Nick Lachey, 37, had the luxury of having a 3-day bachelor party in Las Vegas this past weekend. And though “whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” is the typical cliché that comes to mind, Vanessa Minnillo assured UsMagazine.com that this bachelor’s party was far from The Hangover’s tumultuous adventure. Minnillo kept her presence known when Lachey received a black and red layered cake with a ball and a chain on top that was shackled to a mini Lachey’s leg. It read, “Property of Vanessa.”

Ever had a relationship with a boyfriend that spent more money on himself than he did on you, expected you to pay (in full) while on dates, or constantly spoke about a past romance? You probably assumed you were both meant to be together – until he dumped you a few months later and you finally recalled the red flags in your relationship you shouldn’t have ignored. According to Little Black Book of Big Red Flags: Relationship Warning Signs You Totally Spotted… But Chose to Ignore by Natasha Burton, Meagan McCrary and Julie Fishman, you aren’t the only one. These three have all encountered several flags in their love lives and they’re sharing their stories with you. Alongside their dating disaster tales, the book also offers advice on how to handle similar situations and figure out what kind of relationship will make you happy.
While you might have disregarded that prickling sensation that your relationship is on the rocks, ignore no more. Read on for our author interview:

It seems that Nick Lachey is another one of the celebrity hunks who would now like to be a dad. Lachey, who is in a relationship with Vanessa Minnillo, is looking forward to having children, one of the reasons being that his age is beginning to show no mercy. “I’ll be 38 this year, so it’s one of those things that I’m certainly behind the eight-ball on,” he told People. Not only is a baby on his mind, but a wedding is as well. The ceremony, which will be a taped TLC special, will be a very special start to Lachey’s dream of having a loving family.
