love like there is a tomorrow.

We always here that you should love like there is no tomorrow. However when you are early in a relationship that might be the case. In a new relationship you should love like you have a future together. Not so much as you start to scare the other person. For example don't talk about getting married on your first date! Do talk about the next date though to see how the other person feels. Say things like, "Well if we go out again I would like to take you (insert place here)" if you are greeted with a "That would be nice" then you chances are good for the second date. Especially in the early stages of a relationship make reference to the near future quite a bit. Talk about things you would like to do during the summer or on vacation, and include the person you are seeing in on those plans. The worst they can say is I can't do that or I won't have vacation time then. By using this technique this person will see that you can be a long term partner plus it also allows them to see that you are in this for a commitment so if they are not looking for this it is an easier time to get out. Yes as our relationships grow we want to live like there is no tomorrow but until we know we want to spend the rest of our life with that person take it a little slower.

Summer Fun

Summer time is here and if you haven't done it yet start planning out your summer activities. I am not talking about vacations we all know we need to plan those. I am talking about those weekend things you want to do this summer. Do the two of you enjoy amusements parks, baseball games, camping, hiking, whatever your passions you need to plan them out now. Summer has a way of getting away from us quickly and if we don't play our itinerary out now we might not get to accomplish all we want to during the summer. Think about it how many times have you debated what to do on the weekend only to end up not doing anything. This is what we want to avoid.

Make a list of all the things you want to do. Now rate them by number with one being the most important thing and then on down. Now get your schedules out and begin writing them on weekends, with the understanding of work schedules, and other events that might consume your time. I would also suggest having back up plans of inside things to just in case the weather doesn't cooperate. You don't want to be stuck at home on a weekend you wanted to go hiking just because it is raining.

Make sure to include some romance into your summer also. Things like going to see outdoor shows or fireworks are very romantic. Hiking up to a scenic overlook is a great idea for a couple as well as spending the warm summer nights looking up at the stars. Summer time to me is so romantic because you can get out of the house more. If you have kids you know you have to put them in the mix also, but this doesn't have to ruin the romance. Walking hand in hand at the zoo can be really stimulating for a couple. Going to your local fair is another romantic thing to do that might bring back some old memories.

Now what are you doing sitting her get your butts up and enjoy this beautiful weather.
