“10 Awkward Situations for Ex-Lovers”

Not that there is ever a “good” time to run into an ex-lover, but some times are definitely worse than others. There can be a air of comedy about some of these situations, but they are anything but humorous to the active participants. Whether former couples meet accidentally or by design doesn’t really matter that much, the situation will be uncomfortable for all concerned. The following scenarios are engineered to rebuild some of your self-esteem, as you get a glimpse of how things could have been.

    Parents – It’s always such a treat to run into your ex’s parents, and even more so if your former Significant Other has somehow neglected to tell the folks about the breakup–even though it occurred two years ago!
    Chance Encounter – There’s nothing like making that mad morning-dash to pick up the newspaper in the driveway. . .while wearing your pizza-stained bathrobe. . .and having your ex roll by with their new lover in their even-newer Mercedes.
    Church – It can be discomfiting when the reverend pulls you aside after Sunday services to ask how the nuptial plans are proceeding, and then thanks you profusely for hiring his mother, the caterer, and his brother, the photographer, to work your wedding.
    Work – Not that your co-workers are a tough bunch, but you do recall all the good times you and your buddies had at the expense of the last dumped-on unfortunate, and that you were one of the ringleaders of the vocal posse. Now it’s your turn in-the-barrel.
    Children – When children are part of a relationship, the uncomfortable moments can be magnified during a breakup. It is incumbent upon the adults to act as adults when children are present. Children understand a lot more than most adults give them credit for, so some consideration for their feelings is very important.
    BFF – When your soon-to-be ex-best friend shows up at your apartment with an arm around your all-too-recent ex-lover, the situation can become as prickly as a cactus.
    School – Classic painful moments can occur when a pair of broken hearts have both auditioned for, and won, the leads in the school production of Romeo and Juliet.
    Restaurant – If you take your new flame to a restaurant that you picked because you and your ex never went there, that will be the night your ex does the same thing.
    Court – You don’t want to encounter your ex at the courthouse. You might just be there to renew your dog’s license, but that won’t be the story that ends up hitting the streets..
    Lovers Hideaway – It is generally considered rather bad form to take a new lover anyplace that you and your ex ever called “Our Special Place”. It is extremely bad form when you and your ex repeat the gaffe from #8.

Seriously, if you’re intent on “moving on” with your life, it helps to maintain a thick skin, and to cultivate a sense-of-humor.

TANGIBLE DESTINY

                                                                  TANGIBLE DESTINY

It was around 8:30pm, he gave a 30 bucks and walked slowly down the line with the unknown track of his path. Don't know which way to choose, but he was sure to dig all those memories he had left in his temporal lobe. His little heart was full of complication story, "It was my fault that I talked with u ! ! ! ","I never wanna talk with, don't dare to call me!", he sat near the platform crossing the masses, the train was 2hrs late. She became zombie, he had a tangible hurt deep inside which made him more excruciating. The time he could recall was the only moment when they both were busy ending night calls, messaging was a favorite time-pass they ever had. There came a time when every moment was precious for them. Those thought was very unreal, and somehow she was never a zombie before.

A girl was coeval & exquisite in her mid 20. Distance played a vital role and it was the reason of bonding them for last nearly 05 months. Innocent of disguise was tyranny for him. Every rose has its throne, and he was quite sure for that. He had a numerous countless thoughts and it was not possible to handle by his tensed brain. He grabbed his smart-phone and the music was only his soul-friend, "That's Why U Go-MLTR", his every-green song. Slowly the waiting room was about to void, he opened the small tourist guide-book of KOLKATA and searched for his foot-steps. He had covered almost all the major regions, city-Metro was closed at Sunday. Since he was from North-East all the people were staring at him as if he was a foreign-tourist, he got a city map. He laid down in a wooden bench with a broken thoughts while she was unknown or not-concerned of him, and he dont know how they got in abysmal situation. He couldn't remember why she was fighting with no-reasons, doing only things out of box & suddenly he stopped receiving emails/msgs. He was fallen from the mountain high, tried to connect but she warned not to call/msgs.

It was a day when he was on his craziest way to fly Calcutta. His friend told him the frivolous impact of visiting her, but he made his mind. He had 7K bucks in his wallet dat was for his new handset. That was eve-night and New-Delhi is a city of chance rick accident. He went city station to purchased a ticket that was double of original price. He messaged her at-least dozen a day, but sorry it was unreachable. She never got a chance to call him, he was on huge shock how could this happen to her. With in a week she twist her back to him. He tried to connect through her profile but was not of any use. He had a petty situation. By hook or by cook he manage to land at his destination. He feels glad to see the giant "HOWRA BRIDGE", it was his first visit, he could see the wooden buses and old vehicles. Yeah his friends were true that KOLKATA is very dirty and peoples over there are shameless, but he didnt had any link with them. His purpose was not to see those slums or crowd, instead searched her location. He called her more than a century but shit ! ! ! nothing last forever... after his days long call she received it, without any HELLO she pour her anger at him."How dare u came KOLKATA huh!!! I don't wanna see ur face, go away its waste of ur time. You were special for me, but now its over". His heart was dimmed and the ray of hope seems to fade while listening her tyranny words.
He was very unknown what was happened to her at that time. Where he gone wrong? Is this a revenge or wat ? Really it was a big hit. The hope was hopeless and faith in her went in vain. That's a huge mystery in his chapter of life. By then he realized that Destiny is not a matter of choice, its a matter of chance. He had a thunder of queries relating those tragedy happened with him. Should He blame in his fate? He was totally numb and switched to silent mode, couldn't outer a single words owing peoples are responsible for what he was/is/will.
A big noise crossed her ear drum and he could see his last LALKILA EXPRESS. That 2 day gave him a new lesson of a new begging to start a fresh morning. He saw KOLKATA STATION for the last time in his age, by then it was already 10:30pm and the train moved towards NEW-DELHI.

Does Distance Matter?: Geographically Close vs. Long-Distance Relationships

Long Distance Relationship [img src : identitymagazine.net]

In this season of high school and college graduations, many dating partners are likely facing the prospects of being geographically separated. What should these dating partners know about long-distance relationships? Are long-distance relationships substantially different from ones that are geographically close? A first thing to know is that long-distance relationships (LDRs) are very common, with as many as 70% of college students at some point dating someone who lives far away from them.1 Even beyond college, employment opportunities and military service mean that many romantic partners spend substantial amounts of time away from one another. Scholars have accordingly focused their attention on whether (and how) LDRs differ from relationships that are geographically close (GCRs).

There is good news for LDR dating partners. Generally, studies find that LDR dating partners are not significantly different from GCR dating partners in terms of how close, affectionate, and nurturing they are with each other, and they are no more likely to break up over a 3-month period.2 Further, LDR dating partners actually report being more in love with each other and engaging in higher quality communication than GCR dating partners.3 These research findings indicate that LDR and GCR dating partners are more alike than different in terms of a number of important relationship characteristics.

Hopefully, these research findings will allow people in LDRs (or about to starting dating long-distance) to breathe a sigh of relief: distance is a common component of dating, and does not necessarily spell doom for the relationship.

Food for ur LOVE

Make everyday a day for love and romance. With this recipe, love can't stay too far from your kitchen!

Make sure it is simple, delicious and easy-to-do. Spending too much time cooking a complicated meal is something none of us look forward to!

Red being the colour of the day, it's easy to add this vibrant colour to your Valentine's Day meals. For breakfast, you can use beautiful bright red fruit like perfect heart-shaped strawberries, deep red cranberries or even an apple to give it that special touch. Cranberry juice is a good alternative to your regular orange or apple juice. You can add dried cranberries to your morning cereal. For the slightly more adventurous, bake cranberry muffins. However, nothing can beat a crisp French toast for breakfast. There are many versions of this toast. Some believe that it was a creation of some medieval European cooks who used stale bread to feed their families with. They revived this bread with moisture and heat and ate it. Some Medieval recipes for 'French toast' suggest that it was enjoyed by the wealthy since, in those days, cookbooks were written by the rich for the rich. The recipes used the finest white bread with the crusts trimmed off, something a poor person would never do. Recipes for 'French toast' can be traced back to the Romans. One of the original French names for this dish is 'pain a la Romaine', or Roman bread.

Chocolate French Toast with fresh strawberries
Ingredients: 2/3 cup sugar; 1/3 cup cocoa powder; 1/8 tsp baking powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 cup milk; 4 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla essence; 4 thick slices bread; 1/4 cup butter; icing sugar for garnishing; 200g fresh strawberries

Method: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended and no cocoa lumps remain. Pour in half of the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add the remaining milk, the eggs, and the vanilla. Whisk until blended well.

Arrange the bread in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish (or similar vessel) and pour the cocoa mixture over the bread. Turn the bread once to get both sides nicely coated. Poke each bread slice repeatedly with the tines of a fork to make it absorb the batter. Let it soak, turning every 10 minutes, until the bread is well soaked.

Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. When melted and hot, carefully lift the bread slices, one at a time, from the batter to the pan. Cook until the underside is brown and lightly crisp. You can lower the flame if the slices are browning too fast. Flip and continue cooking until the slices are slightly puffed in the centre and are bouncy to the touch. Then transfer the French toast to the plate and serve immediately with strawberries dusted with icing sugar.
