If you want to get lucky in your love life, you've got to become convinced of one thing. That one thing is that luck has nothing whatsoever to do with it. You have to be smart, you have to be clever, and you have to be a good person who is open to romance.
Women especially can think that they are not able to get lucky in their love life because they've tried before and failed. More than likely that wasn't about failing to get lucky, as much as it was about making dumb mistakes in their relationships.
Here are some of the dumb things women do to sabotage their chance to get lucky in their love life.
The first mistake that can sabotage luck in love is getting inebriated on a date. Especially early on in the relationship stick to one - maybe two glasses of wine.
Getting sloshed doesn't make you witty or brave. It makes you loud, unattractive, brazen and more often than not, saying or doing something that will embarrass you and end the relationship.
Don't get nervous on your first or second or third date and just keep talking and talking and talking.
That little Eveready bunny can keep going and going and going and it's cute and he might still get lucky in his love life, but you'll just look self-absorbed.
Share something about yourself, but spend more time asking about him and then be quiet and listen. With a little luck your love life will bloom from your willingness to be his confidante and your decorum in public.
Another thing that can be really tacky and not help you get lucky in your love life is to appear cheap. It's okay to sometimes pick up the check or go dutch. You don't want to appear like an over spender either, but always ordering the salad and water may make you look like a real penny pincher and that's not attractive.
Another related no-no is asking for a doggie bag. Don't do it until you're way into the relationship, or until he does it first.
Discussions of bodily functions can really ruin the luck you might have stumbled into in your love life. There's nothing like a little talk of constipation to take the passion right out of the evening.
The other thing that can really give you some bad luck in your love life is running other women down to him - especially if you don't know who he's dating.
Worse yet, no matter how much he trashes his ex-wife or ex-lover, never trash her yourself. You can sympathize and say things like, "I can see why that kind of behavior would be upsetting to you," but if you say, "You're right, she is trash," you're more likely to find yourself listening to him defend her. And you won't look attractive to him right then at all.
You can get lucky in your love life only if you make your own luck.

Weird son mother relationship
By: meme | 20-07-2008
I was just wondering if anyone has been through this before and how they handled it. My husband is a good man,father, and all around good person but his relationship with his mother seems a little strange to me, he is constantly calling her,sometimes refers to her a mommy,holds her hand in public and on several different occasions one when we were in public with my parents having dinner people were staring because he focused all attention on his mother making it a point to sit with her at the table and holding her hand, I felt as if he was on a date with her and from the looks we were receiving I think other people thought that to. He caters to her every need and rushes me through visits with my family so that we can go to her house (we live in the next state from them all). Does anyone have any advice for me my husband is in his forties and is not an only child nor the only boy....Is it just me or is this weird, he also baby talks to her, and now I am noticing he is doing the same thing to his two kids who are 11-14 (girl and boy).
