Are you a priority in your relationship and love? If not, you may need to step back and reconsider your romance. You seem to be making more excuses than he does: He’s working too much; he’s dealing with family issues. What you’re doing is validating the fact that you’re nothing more than a booty call for him. Shocking, right? Deep down, you probably already know this truth. Let’s dig even deeper.
Take a look at all of the celebrity couples out there that don’t make marriage a priority in their relationships and love: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Does that mean that you have to do what these famous couples do? Per my expert relationship advice, no one should ever follow the example of a celebrity. A celebrity is just someone who happens to have lucked into a career — who had enough talent, timing, connections, or serendipity. Look at Kardashian, for instance. Her lack of talent is painfully apparent, but her mother is an absolutely brilliant marketer. She was able to get a terrible reality TV show on the air and capture the public’s morbid curiosity…and the rest is history.
For a guy, one of the most important steps in any relationship and love is getting to know her friends. Her pals are what I call the defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, special teams coach — the list goes on. Basically, until you get their approval, her BFFs are going to be ripping you apart. They’re going to be evaluating each and every move, almost like going through the game tape after each date. As a relationship expert, here is my best advice for winning her friends over.
If you’re thinking of traveling with your new woman, why not plan a weekend trip for Valentine’s Day? There are so many great deals during this special holiday. Don’t make the classic mistake of looking to the countryside.

Dating coach David Wygant hilariously depicts the struggles of a couple with one partner stuck on their touch-screen device throughout every moment of the day.

I know. You’re about to unlock the inner bad girl version of you for Halloween. Some of you love to dress up as sexy school girls. Some of you are even more rambunctious and like to dress up as a naughty nurse. Maybe you’re the dominating dominatrix, the meanest witch, or the cutest little ghost a man has ever seen. That’s what I love about this holiday. It allows the inner woman, that naughty version of you, to come flying out. To you, it’s just staying in costume all night long.
Well, I could tell you to just come right out and tell her she’s beautiful. But to me, that lacks the emotional depth a woman wants. Most women have a day each month, if not several days, where they find themselves more insecure than usual about their looks. They constantly compare themselves to others and make themselves feel bad. Men don’t necessarily do that. We’ll go to the gym, look at another guy, and say, “Boy, I wish I was built like him.” Then, we’ll shut it off in our brain and carry on with what we’re doing. Women, though, stand next to each other in Zumba and start to get angry or sad because they feel inadequate.
So here are the five best ways to make a woman feel her most beautiful — any time and any place.
Read that title again. If he doesn’t pay for a date, it’s a bad sign. I have a rule: Whoever asks for the date, pays for the date — end of story. If a guy asks you out on a first date or even second date, he should be paying for it, plain and simple. If you asked him out on the date, don’t sit there with your arms folded acting like a Disney princess. Pay for the check! You chose the place; you pay. You suggested the date; you pay.
Congratulations! You’re now in a relationship with a mama’s boy. Mama’s boys are tough to date. Mommy took such good care of them over the years, and while she’s still in their lives, you might always play second fiddle to her.
I know all about mama’s boys because my dad was one. I remember when we used to go out to the Hampton’s during the summer. My dad would have his own special blueberries and sugar on top. His mom, my grandmother, would always reserve the coffee ice cream for him, her king. She catered everything to him. He’d call her at least three or four times a day. It was like he couldn’t stand not having contact with her for even a couple of hours.

I’m going to share with you some of the best advice that my mother gave me when I was younger. When I was 19 years old, I was dating a girl named Kris. She was the love of my life. Well, the love of my very short life at the time. She was my high school sweetheart, and she literally broke my heart three weeks before the prom.
First of all, ladies, there’s no such thing as a guy friendly Valentine’s Day. We know this day is all about you. As far as guys are concerned, our Valentine’s Day already happened: It was when the Seahawks destroyed the Broncos at the Super Bowl. Men love football, and we love hanging out with men.
You’re in love. You’re thinking, because of all the Zale’s diamond commercials on television, that this would be a great time to pop the question to your girl. You’re wondering whether you should get her a gift-wrapped Lexus, a red Mercedes, or that sparkly diamond.
One of my subscribers sent me a fantastic question the other day: When are you ready to be a dad? I’m a dad. I never thought I would be one. And now, not only am I a father, but I love it. For me, there’s no greater feeling in the world. There’s nothing better than walking across the street holding my daughter’s little hand. There’s nothing better than sitting on my sofa while she climbs and crawls all over me — except when she bounces on my stomach after a big meal!
You see a man you’re interested in at the grocery store, and you know you can’t just let him walk away. But how are you going to make him notice you without stripping naked and doing a sexy dance in the produce section — which, of course, will get you arrested? Well, the good news is it’s easy to get a guy’s attention. These simple five ways will give you the confidence to turn his head any time, any where.
It happens all the time. Things are going really well in your relationship, and then all of a sudden — BOOM, like a guillotine coming down on someone’s head — something goes wrong. But this time, the guillotine is coming down on your head, and you’re facing another heartbreak.
You thought you knew exactly what he wanted; you read all the books and watched all the dating programs; and you did everything you could to make sure you were the perfect girlfriend. You even spoke for hours on end with the girls about what men really want and how to play the relationship game properly. Trouble is, it seems you still don’t know what men DON’T want in a relationship.
The Fourth of July is upon us – can you believe it? Before you know it, Labor Day will be over, and just as you start to catch your breath from that, it’s Christmas time. An important part of any happy relationship is celebrating the holidays and enjoying your special traditions. So how do you start a new Fourth of July tradition that your man will remember for years to come?

What does it mean when a guy waits a while to text you back? What if he gives you a short answer to a long question? How can you tell if he’s bored and only texting you because he wants something to do? These are questions that most women have asked at one time or another.
So here are a couple of pointers to decode man-talk in texting. These answers are a simple guideline to help you understand the way that men think and communicate.

What qualities does a woman desire most in a man? Confidence? Humor? Good looks? No, what a woman wants from the man she is dating is for him to behave like a gentleman.

So let’s say that you’re having a very passionate holiday romance. What do you do about Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, etc.? Well, whatever holiday you’re celebrating, I’m a firm believer of wishing everybody a merry Christmas. To me, Christmas is just a time of year. That’s all it is. It doesn’t matter what religion you are–everybody loves Christmas. Who can forget “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”? Who can forget “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Herbie the Dentist”? …Don’t miss the rest! Click here for more.
In the crazed battle of the exes (or soon to be permanent exes) we too often tend to act on our emotions. We’re angry. We’re annoyed. We’re upset. We’re devastated. Divorce is like going through death, and it affects more than just the couple: kids, parents, friends – it’s the ultimate division of assets.
For those of you who have or are going through it, you know what it feels like. It sucks. So, I want to give a few tips to those out there in the arena -especially the ladies. Here are a few things that women should never do in divorce and why:
So you went out on a great date, or what you assumed was a great date. You did everything right. You were flirting. You wore the right outfit. The shirt was low-cut, but not too low-cut. The jeans fit nicely on you. You smelled great. You smiled. You told him you had a good time. You made yourself available, open and honest. When you got home, you called one of your friends. You told her what a great time you had and that you were eager to see him again.
The very next day, you expected the phone call. You thought to yourself, “I know he’s going to call. He had a good time. He looked at me at the end. Everything seemed perfect.”
But … the day passed, and the phone never rang. You checked your e-mail that night thinking he might have emailed you–he didn’t. The following day, you called your friends about it, reviewed the entire date, everything you said, trying to figure out what his reactions were, and maybe–just maybe–what you said or did that turned him off. You engaged the troops, and that was your first major mistake.
The “rules” of dating can be complicated, and most of the time, we can’t figure out what we’re doing wrong. Dating expert, David Wygant, wrote Naked to get rid of those “rules,” hoping that we could finally learn to love ourselves and be ourselves when entering the dating world. He successfully coaches both men and women in dating by analyzing their situations and helping them figure out what they’ve been doing wrong, so they can move forward and have a happier and more successful dating life. We had a chance to interview David about his book, and here’s what he had to say:
I get emails all the time asking me, “You live in Hollywood. You must meet famous people, right?” Let me tell you a little bit about the way I think about famous people.
I don’t see them; I see dead people. Oops! That’s the wrong movie. That’s from “The Sixth Sense.” I really don’t see famous people. I mean, I do see them, but people have to point them out to me.
A few months ago when I was walking down the street with my black Labrador, Daphne, this cute blond was walking towards me with three other black dogs. She said, “Look at all the black dogs!”
I thought, ‘Wow, she’s observant. She is flirting with me.’ So I said, “Look at those three dogs! Are they yours?” The cute blond said “No, I’m working at the rescue place today.”
The blond was wearing a sweatshirt, tennis shoes and a pair of jeans. She had no makeup on, and she had her hair pulled back. She looked really cute. The voice sounded really familiar. The face looked familiar. The only thing missing was E.T. What I realized then was that I was standing face-to-face flirting with Drew Barrymore.
