Fall Dinner
Should I wait for him?
My boyfriend of 2 years left me yesterday, on V-day. He hadn't been acting like himself since New Years. He's been totally exhausted for about a month now, working out 12 hours a week (6 that are non-compulsory) and working himself to the bone on weekends plus all his coursework. Even though I was trying to be the perfect girlfriend for him and support him, we hadn't had sex in weeks.50 Cheap Date Ideas

10 Ways to make your relationship more thrilling
**Romantic thrills**
The start of a relationship is exciting, risky, even a bit scary, and we savor every slightly out-of-control minute of it. "I'm crazy for him," we say. "He makes my heart pound."
I just need to vent..
I have been dropping hints to my husband for weeks about going to see "Dear John." We decided to save it for Valentine's Day, all the while, I was secretly hoping he would go ahead and buy tickets in advance so they would would be sure to see it on that day, after a romantic dinner of course. After talking to him today, he confided that he had not bought tickets yet, so I took it upon myself to go ahead and do so. Well, the only show times left are for 9:45 and we have a 10 month old son with grandparents who can't babysit him for very late or keep him overnight because as we all know, Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year and they all have jobs. As soon as I mentioned the late showtime, my husband responded by saying, "Well, I have to go to work the next day!!" (Insert my annoyance here.) Now before anyone says, "You can celebrate it on Saturday", I will put it out there that we can't. We have something to do every night this week and a strict schedule to work around because my husband is a Police Officer. I have talked to him at length in years past about trying a little harder to be romantic and he admits that it is something he isn't good at. I understand that, which is why I dropped hints!! Our sex life has taken a nose dive since our son was born and I was just really looking forward to a romantic evening that wouldn't go on too late. I know all is not lost, we can still go to dinner, but the movie is out the window and I was SO looking forward to seeing that with him on Valentine's Day. I just feel so disappointed because I feel like he is not trying at all!3 Ways To Say "I Love You"
The great flexibility in language allows us to say things in so many different ways. So, in honor of Valentine's Day, here are a few nice ways to say "I love you":
Create It
All great artists create from inspiration. So, when an artist falls in love, it stands to reason that he or she may create things in honor of that love.
Sex drive not as strong as husbands
The older I get the worse it seems to become. Been married for almost 15 years, been with my husband for almost 20 years. Now that I am a mother of a young child, the more tired I am and that kills my energy which hurts my sex drive even more. The more overweight I get, the worse my sexual desire becomes, the more modest I become. My husband turns to videos to keep him satisfied in between our low sex runs, because he knows I am tired and stressed and that I don't always feel like it. But, now I am getting resentful of the movies and even more self contious about it. I find myself wondering does he like the movies more than me. I finally talked to him and let him know how I feel, I actually blew up at him today, I didnt want to be pissed at him for watching these movies...but I flipped when I saw that he had watched another one. Now that we talked, he seems more understanding about how I feel. He actually was surprised that I never have any sexual fantasies. I guess I've never really thought about sexual fantasies..I just fantasize about what to do with him. But, how do I get my level of desire to get back to a level - so I can satisfy my husband like I use to, when we were younger and I did initiate the sex back then.pumpkin ravioli with gorgonzola sauce

Come Party With Me: Fall Lunch — The Look
When creating a tablescape for an autumnal lunch, let the colors of falling leaves be inspiration. A mixed leaf wreath hanging on the front door immediately sets a festive tone. If hosting the event outside in an area where the weather is chilly, have a fire pit or heater.
What About Bob?
I was out with my girlfriends some time ago to a pool establishment we like to frequent - as it has 'real' pool tables, you need to have your own stick, etc.
We were playing pool, having a great time, and I kept 'bumping' into a rather attractive man. He didn't have a 'line' and had an over-the-top sense of humor. He did go off track in conversation at times (But I believed may be due to one too many beers?), but he was so pleasant, nice, good looking, and so I felt I could look pass if he had had one too many possibly and that was okay. He was far from stumbling or falling down.
We sort of 'hit it off', and we texted for a couple of weeks, and we decided on dinner and a movie at my place.
I slaved over the stove and cooked an incredible meal. But, throughout the meal he kept changing subjects in an odd way - not as though he was nervous. Example: I was talking about family and out of the blue, he said: "Hey I have a laptop just like yours!". Hmmmm okay....?
I set us up in the living room for the movie portion of our 'date'. My pick was "The Pianist" and about 40 minutes into the movie he asked "Why are the Poles being sent away in those trains?".
Ahhhh, okay....
