Dating can truly be a wonderful and rewarding experience for two people. However, when the situation begins to turn ugly it cannot ever be something that can be special again. At least not until the problem is on resolve and out of the lives of the two specific people who are involved in the story. What is dating violence? Dating violence involves three different types of individual abuse per se. The three types of personal attack that can go on between two people in a dating relationship include sexual, physical, and psychological. Dating violence occurs when one of the partners in said relationship openly tries to hurt the other partner intentionally and on purpose.
Dating violence can destroy a promising relationship almost as fast as any other real crisis that can create a gap between two people who were once very deeply in love. This can happen to anyone and everyone regardless of age, race, and background. The presence of violence or threat of violence is not a good thing and must not happen to a man or woman who is in the confines of a dating relationship or while still courting each other. Any form of abuse that is associated with dating violence is very serious problem and needs to be resolved at the first signs of it. It is the early warning signs that one should take into account and pay close attention to. Because if your date or someone you see regularly starts to change for no reason. This is an indication that something is wrong.
Some of the early warning signs of dating violence can include:
Person exhibits uncontrollable jealousy
Mood swings that show up at anytime
Anger that is out of control
Behavior that is visibly controlling in nature
He or she stops the other from seeing their family and friends.
These are only a few of the classic warning signs that dating violence is about to happen to someone who is in a dating relationship. If your boyfriend, girlfriend, or date begins to show some of these signs, it is up to you to nip things in the bud or just break it off. The more you let someone exhibit any warning signs of what is to come over you it is like playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun. Eventually the gun will go off and someone will end up hurt or dead in some cases.
How do you deal with dating violence personally? Since dating violence is subject to escalate, as the relationship gets more serious. The man or woman who is experiencing any form of abuse needs to end the cycle of continual abuse by the following:
The first step is to end the relationship and breakup with said abuser. Meet him or her in a public place and do not go alone.
Get some sort of support system going for yourself
Also file for a protective order or restraining order if necessary. These are the most important things you should look out for when dating.

Please, I Need help with my Girlfriend
By: omgitistotallymatt | 21-11-2007
If you have read my earlier threads, i have been talking about my girlfriend and I "touching" so to speak. I have talked with her and found it is against her personal morals to do this sort of thing. While i respect this decision, and I have asked multiple times if it was something else (only to get the reply no), could it be she is insecure, or is she really not ready? Also, being a teenager, I do not totally comprehend the opposite sex, but the only reason why I bring this up is that I have an urge telling me deep down that this is the right thing to do. I know that I should not totally trust it, but I was wondering, could she have the same feeling in her, she is jsut hiding/repressing it?Above all this, I see her this weekend, and personally, I would like to show her a good time, but in order to do this I feel I will have to get her into that "sensual, hot" mood, if you catch my drift, does anyone have any ideas on that.If anyone can help me on this, I am very thankful. I know she loves me, and I love her back, but this urge is starting to kill me a bit inside, so I want to fix it now. Should I ask her if she has the same feelings inside, I have asked her many awkward ?'s and she seems to be ok with them. Thanks for any answers.
How can a married guy obtain multiple sex partners
By: samson | 19-11-2007
A married guy may love his wife, be perfectly content in their marriage (and for all signs of it so is she), but still not be content with the prospect of having only one sex partner "till death does you in".So my question is how can one be married and still get the best of both worlds? This can be viewed as sort of a "what if" question or a brainstorm perhaps.I am looking for a can-do, practical approach. (I will just ignore any judgemental, men-are-pigs type of answers).Bear in mind that I do not restrict the answers to going behind the woman's back - aka being "unfaithful". This has a obvious drawback of living a double-life, and eventaully getting "caught". Perhaps the way to go is via a gradual process where she gradually learns to accept a man's small "vice" away from sight, in return for an otherwise fulfilling relationship?Just a thought, not a must to go in that direction.

Follow up thread, is it time to touch mi gf?
By: omgitistotallymatt | 18-11-2007
Orion, this is the same thread i started earleier, i just want to covey that i believe it is the parents causing this to make her feel "dirty", and how she thinks tht if other people know she will be dirtty. how can i subtly tell her this is not so, and (i will be seeing her soon with mostly alone time) how can I do these things to her so she will become comfertable (the whole touching thing). I feel that she believes that we dont need to do this. We dont, but i feel it would add a whole new level to our relationship. Also, she says she is very mature, and i kno she is, but the thing is, i dont want to hurt her doing this. is there a way to get the point across to her that doing this is perfectly natural, and at the same time getting her to believe me, and me doing it to her to show her that it can be enjoyable., do you catch my drit. I dont want sex, b/c marriage is the only time id do tht. I kno we dont have to do this, but is there a way to get her to believe me. the first time i did it, i kno she enjoyed it, is there a way i kan show her that is ok, so i kan do it again (mayb making her feel aroused in a sense, and if so, how do i go abt doing tht). Just any ideas so i can continue this practice, i feel that we are far enough into our relationship that we should be doing this. Also, we talked about the first insident after it happened, and she was telling me abt how she felt "dirty" and tht it just wasnt right. Hope this helps.Plus, i dont know if this would help, but the first day i tried this, i noticed that wht she was wearing was not the norm, like she wore it to make me feel...well you know. I noticed the stuff she was wearing underneath her pants wasnt boxers, but underware, b/c her pants were basically clear (long story on hwo i kno that, but i sware it is NOT cuz i am a perv) . it is lik she is sending me a mixed message, that she wants me stimulated, but she doesnt wanna be Thank you for yorur help so far. :)
