No matter how young at heart you are, as you mature you will eventually long for a longer term relationship.
Long term relationships means that you now have accepted the responsibility to stay monogamous. There is no more fooling around with other women and being on the look out for another woman, especially if you are with her.
However, being monogamous does not mean that you have lost your freedom. Freedom is in the mind. But if you feel that you have lost your freedom, you need to question if it is your woman who is the insecure one and constantly needs the re-assurance and requirement that you to be there 24/7 OR indeed you are not ready for being one hearted.
Being in a monogamous relationship is very different and special to the usual, multiple relationships. Building a true one on one bond with the woman you love is special.
From speaking to many women, I have found that women do try to change their man. But you may need to see them trying to make changes for the better, such as making us pick after ourselves. We men however, I have been told need to accept their woman as they are. We too can change them, but eventually they will become the woman that we longer have passion for.
Ask yourself if the woman you love will let you continue to have your own identity, appreciating your family and friends that you have, and not bad mouthing them. If she doesn’t, you may need to re-assess the situation and have a serious chat and think. Long term, there will be a problem if this persists.
Being a man, we all have grand dreams and plans. That’s just our nature. Does your woman support your dream? Or does she want you to constantly go out with her friends or take cooking classes with her?
Finally, one of the most important things I have found to maintain the passion in the relationship over the long term is to make sure you continue as if you are still dating. Always remember what you did when you were dating. From opening the car door for them, to the love notes and romantic candle lit dinners.
That way, passion is always alive and you will no longer be looking around for another woman to spice up your life as there is no need….
If you have found my article interesting, I have come across a site which is at the moment giving away a massive free eBook titled “Secrets To Dating Beautiful Women”. I have personally found this one of the best books on the subject of Dating and Relationships and I highly recommend you read it. It’s a must read.

By: Terry Leslie | 04/02/2008 | Dating
Men have been trying to figure out what women want for ages, and to be honest that's an question that bears asking. Without knowing what a woman wants, how can you expect her to respond to you? You've heard the old cliches, that diamonds are a girl's best friend, that every girl wants roses on Valentine's Day, or that what she really wants is romantic getaway, but realistically, what do women want?

This is a question many men find asking themselves. Both men and women do at times hold onto the hope that things will just ‘work out’ and things will eventually change for the better.
Should your time be spent elsewhere? If you realize the woman that you have found isn’t exactly or bluntly put, no where near what you originally envisioned, perhaps its time to finally let go.
Don’t be the Bee. Become the Honey!

What a statement!
Men must always begin with an end in mind. What is it you want? It wasn’t just the initial attraction but the end result you seek. Men make the mistake of slacking off once they think they have already succeeded in creating the initial attraction. Don’t undo the hard work. Stand out form the other men she may have dated in the past by always being unique.

How Men Talk, and Don’t Listen
By: Terry Leslie | 08/02/2008 | Dating
Men tend to perceive conversation with mates as a form of competition or challenge-like playing office politics or jockeying for position in the passing lane. When we’re asked a question, we don’t just answer – we want to give the right answer (or the right excuse). If talking turns into a debate or argument, naturally we want to win it.

In love with this girl who has someone
By: Stella | 20-11-2008
Over this past year, I have met the most beautiful girl of my life. She has it all. She's smart, funny, and just drop dead beautiful. We currently work together and see eachother pretty much everyday. To be quite honest, I love this girl with all my heart. I mean, I would die for her if I had to. I've talked to many women but not like her. She makes me get the biggest smile on my face when I'm around her. Unfortunately, I learned that she has a boyfriend and it was really tough for me. Still, I was there to be the good friend that I have been over this year. But to be quite honest, her man looks like a scrub. He does drugs, drinks, etc... I'm not saying this because I'm jealous. I say this because she can get so much better than what she has. I often think about her while I lay in bed or when out doing stuff. It often makes me teary eyed that I can't be with her. That's how strong my love is for her. I really don't know what to do anymore. I see beautiful women everyday but I pay them not attention because I'm in love with this girl. I really want to tell her but it would be ackward to work together if thought it was wierd. I know she likes me as a really good friend but I wish it can be more than that. I feel so lost...

Are Women Just Waiting for a Conversation
By: Terry Leslie | 27/11/2008 | Dating
It should be so simple. You walk up and say a nice and welcoming greeting and she should smile and hang on your every word.

When we reach for “not getting” we most often fail because we are hanging out on the negative.

Making Mistakes in a Relationship or While Dating
By: Terry Leslie | 09/11/2008 | Dating
Most of us were taught through a process of punishment or humiliation or both that mistakes are just a horrid and stupid thing to make. You should never make mistakes. Mistakes lead to bad grades, poor choices in friends, and of course, stupid life changing mistakes that might “affect” where you are headed. Mistakes can make us look as though we don’t have two working brain cells in our heads, to quote my father.

Lonely guys at the end of the bar, pathetically nursing their drinks and pretending to be more interested in the big screen that they can’t hear are there for many reasons. If it’s you, then you probably already know your reasons. If it’s not you, then you know your reasons for not wanting to be there. Define, for the sake of that empty bar seat, what you want in this life and what you want from the women you have the potential to meet.
Women and Their Natural Pulse

As a guy, I look at women with complete appreciation, desire, and clear and total confusion. Women are a delicate and delectable creation that makes a man want more while driving him away with fear and trepidation. Women, on the other hand, seem to be so well put together that if you asked any of them what they wanted, they would probably only have one answer, “Whatever they can’t have.”
The Benefits of Casual Dating
By: Terry Leslie | 01/11/2008 | Dating
Casual dating was once the way the social circles of the world worked. During the post—virginal era and before the eighties set in with commitment in the third grade, casual dating was more the norm. Of course, once the whole concept of “go with me” came about and guys were being asked for commitment prior to puberty, the idea of casual dating has taken a back seat.
