Sex and Love Academy today, long-distance dating, avoiding intimacy ...
My fortnightly Sex and Love Academy has gone live on the Sun newspaper ONLINE today - it's packed full of tips so check it out...maybe something you can try this weekend!
Avoiding any conversations about The Killing today - got in late from dinner with pals last night and could only watch the first half...eek, Detective Linden was heading for trouble when we had to collapse into bed... can't wait to finish watching it!
Good to see Charlie Sheen saying he's sober - I wish anyone who's been to hell and back like he has a sober and clean life. He undoubtedly has many apologies to make particularly to his children first so much appalling behaviour - hope he can keep it up.
It makes you wonder how did someone that behaved so outrageously - for so long - live to survive their excesses and yet Amy Winehouse who was struggling to clean-up died... one thing research shows is women simply cannot cope with as much abuse to their bodies as men can. Not that men should abuse their bodies in this way just because they're probably likely to get away with more than the average woman!
I've just posted a new article on long-distance dating - check out "hot off the press" on my homepage if you're doing this.
Even if you're not in a long-distance relationship certain things might apply to you - like skimming the surface of a relationship. Some long-distance relationships thrive because both people don't really want a truly intimate relationship - so they prefer this half way house.
And this can happen in relationships where you're in the same city.
TODAY’S TIP: are you just skimming the surface a relationship? Are you holding back? Today's the day to ask yourself why. You might have a completely legitimate reason - like you're in a super busy time for your career and simply can't invest emotional energy in a relationship.
But if it's because deep down you're anxious and fearful of truly committing today's the day to start taking a risk. If the person you're dating is a good person start opening up to them emotionally.
My top tip is to do it one step at a time. Take one specific thing you've been holding back on - like telling them how much you love cuddles, or how much you love spending time with them, or how upset you are about the way someone's treating your work, etc., anything that you're struggling with but you haven't shared because you don't want to let them in. Well, let them in! Start the conversation - tell them how you really feel about whatever the issue is.
I hope soon you find it's not so scary and daunting to let them know how you feel deep down in your heart about things.
Good luck! Happy Friday, Pamx
