Impossible is Just a Word

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’

As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.

On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.

So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

Life Mapping - A Vision of Success

Have you come across a person who is so naturally friendly that when you put him inside a room of strangers, he'll be friends with almost everyone in no time? We call such a people-person, someone unbelievably nice and charismatic that he can charm anyone into doing anything.

A socially-empowered person achieves so much greatness, basically because of the people that catapult him to success. He earns the trust and all-out support of the people, whom he had helped before. He never runs out of help. He can do anything with the plethora of people behind him. All because he knows he maximizes his social potential!

See, if you know your social skills and you make use of them, you will reach self-empowerment. Self-empowerment is making a general overhaul in your life and turning yourself into a happier and more successful person.If you can be one of those people-persons, then I can't see any reason why you will not succeed. You just have to know how to start.

1. Be genuine.

Hypocrisy will just bring you all the way down. Be genuinely nice and interested to people. Once they perceive that you are Mr. Hypocrite with selfish intentions, you might as well say goodbye to self-empowerment.

2. Be the greatest listener that you can be.

To earn the love and trust of the people, listen to their problems and sympathize with them. Do not just hear them out, listen to them with your heart. Make eye contact when the person talks to you. Listen as if every word matters, and it does. Brownie points when they find out that there is a confidante in you.

3. Laugh out loud.

I do not mean that you force yourself to laugh for every joke cracked by someone, albeit you do not find it funny at all.This means finding humor in things and not being too darn serious. A person oozing with an awesome sense of humor attracts crowds and eventually, attracts success.

4. Don't forget yourself.

In the process of fluttering around like a social butterfly, you might forget yourself, allowing everyone to push you over. Remember, love and value yourself before anyone else. If you deem yourself respectable and worthy of affection, people will flock to you and not trample on you.

5. Do random acts of kindness.

You don't have to do a John Rockefeller and blow your savings to charity. Little acts of kindness matters the most, and this can be as simple as giving someone a surprise you-take-care card or helping an elderly cross the street. When we were kindergarten students, kindness was taught to us and greatly practiced. Now is the time to revive the good deeds and this time, let them stay for good.

6. Contact your old friends.

Sad how some friendships are destined to goodbye, but thanks to technology, you can do something about it. Relive the good old days by flipping your yearbook and look for the great people whom you want to communicate with again. Adding these old friends to your roster of support peers will surely make you feel good all over.

7. Develop your personality.

Are you grouchy, grumpy and generally morose? Whoa, you can't go through life with those. Get rid of the bad traits and habits that perpetually hamper your growth. And really, who wants a grouchy friend anyway?

8. Be confident.

Be able to stride to the other corner of the room and introduce yourself to people with that winning smile of yours. Just remember: be confident, not arrogant.

9. Practice control.

When angry, don't snap at anyone. Never throw a tantrum. Stay calm and collected. Be adult enough to take control of situation and transform your anger into something more productive and passive. As soon as people think your anger goes to volcanic proportions easily, they will find it hard to come to you.

10. Keep nurturing your relationships.

Your relationship with your family, friends and significant others is too precious that you must not neglect it whatever happens. Go out and have fun with them. Do things together. Happiness will never fly from your side as long as the people who matter the most are close to you.

In the end, using people for self-empowerment means becoming a better and more lovable person. It's a win-win situation: the people know they can turn to you anytime and vice versa.

THE ART OF WRITING A LOVE LETTER

Personal, handwritten love letters are an ideal way to express your feelings to someone. They are not difficult to create if you are true to your feelings and give it some careful thought. Write what moves you best, be sincere and you will be sure to bring a smile to your love's face.

Waxing Poetic

Anyone can just copy a favorite love poem and then send it off. What will touch their heart best is something of your own design. You can use the example of another poem, changing the words around to suit your expression.

You can take several different poems, in fact, and then take what you love most from each of them to create your own. This takes some practice, Try starting with just one sentence. Change the words around to reflect your own personal feelings and then go on from there.

Personalize a Blank Card

You can buy beautiful and artistic cards that have only an outside picture and a blank sheet inside for you to create your own prose. Take your time and write out a verse that you think will be meaningful to your loved one.

Practice first with a scrap piece of paper and then when you have it just perfect, carefully print or write it out in the inside of the card.

Leave Your Note where it will be found

It will be a nice surprise for your loved one to find your note, unexpected. Don’t hide it so well that he or she won’t find it! Leave it in a common place that you are sure he or she will go looking. When they find it they can enjoy it all alone.

Own your Prose

Make sure you get good credit for writing your loved one. Don’t think that if you mark your note “anonymous” that she will just know it is from you.

Give a Gift

Include a little something that can be inserted inside the card or letter. A small gift will make your love note extra meaningful.

The romantic act of expressing your love in writing is always a special gift to receive and this becomes a keepsake for a lifetime!




Place your Love Notes in Creative Places

Adding the element of surprise to your love note is always special to the receiver.

Here are some really creative suggestions about where you can leave your handwritten love note:

In their shoes

In their lunch bag everyday

Under their pillow

When they travel just insert one into their luggage

In their laptop bag at night to be discovered first thing in the morning at work

For the reader -- in their bookmarked page

On their car windshield/wipers

Use the Windows Paint program to write your love notes, and then save them on their computer as the 'wallpaper'

In their shirt pocket before they leave for work

On the edge of the Jacuzzi, hot tub or sauna

On the bathroom mirror in lipstick, or the steam of their shower

Using washable markers -- everywhere

Inside their class notebook on the page after the last page written on

On the driver’s seat of their car

In their sandwich, wrapped in plastic

Taped to the back window of the car

In their wallet

On their steering wheel

Planted throughout the bedroom to be found while getting ready for work

In their pants pockets

Dictated on their voicemail

In the mailbox

Pinned on a teddy bear before they leave for work

In their gym locker

Written in soap on the mirror

Buried in the sugar bowl...to enjoy with their coffee

HONOR YOUR LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

Engaging in a long-distance relationship is very challenging! To be up to it, take on the task of sending meaningful messages to your loved one on a regular basis.

Use the instant messengers like AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, etc. to keep your love life hopping, long distance. You have relative privacy and can reinforce the width and depth of your love this way. Try to IM each day and night!

Be really creative by writing a letter or finding a picture of something you have shared together. Paste the letter/picture to a piece of cardboard and then cut it into several puzzle pieces. Send your long distance love a few pieces every other day in the mail and once he or she has completed the puzzle send a dozen roses in celebration!

Have someone take pictures of yourself and create a handmade calendar. Use card paper and glue a colorful border on each piece. Color copy it and enlarge the pictures, pasting them on the paper. Print out boxes on the computer for the days and decorate each week or month. Tie them all together with a fancy ribbon and send it to him or her in the mail. Your loved one will not forget you!

Send your loved one letters sprayed with your perfume/cologne. Soak pieces of material with your scent and include those and it will last forever!

If you can’t be there to share a special moment, send your long distance love dinner by calling a restaurant where he/she lives and have them deliver your love's favorite meal. Use your computer cam to enjoy the meal together!

Instead of sending your love a hand-written letter this week, send a blank tape and microphone, and tell them your greatest desire for them when you next meet. They can listen to the tape whenever they want to hear your voice.

Send a package with a tape of the songs you listened to together the last time you were together. Send some of his or her favorite candy, and something memorable like a little stuffed toy. Tell them how much they are missed and how you think of them constantly! It's a great way to let your love know you're thinking about them despite the distance.

Surprise your loved one by arranging for a delivery of their favorite flowers! Attach a handwritten card professing your love for them! This is always a beautiful surprise!

Design a webpage in your love's honor. Dedicate the page to your relationship and include poetry, thoughts, pictures, romantic messages, the story of how you met, and all other details to make them smile.

Send your partner a virtual love card. Once you have their email address you are all set! Send them regularly!

Save a record of all of your email over your long-distance relationship. Once you have accumulated a full years worth, print them all out and separate them by month.

For every month, make a cover page that summarizes all of the important and sentimental things that you have done together. Include pictures taken, too. Have all of the pages bound into a hard-covered book, and give it a title, like "Love Abounds" inscribed on the cover. This will become a treasured keepsake!

Have Your Forgotten How to Talk to Your Spouse

Can you remember the days when you couldn’t find enough time with your spouse to talk about all the wonderful things you wanted to do with your life and to share your thoughts?

How long has it been now? Five years? Ten or twenty? After you’ve exhausted the discussion about the children’s schedule, who has to drop off the dry cleaning and when you will visit your in-laws, do you find yourself at a loss for words?

You are not alone. There is nothing wrong with either of you. You are probably just mired in everyday life and because your daily schedule is so hectic, over the years you simply ran out of time for casual and enjoyable discussion.

And, now you can’t even remember HOW to talk to your spouse.

You are right in wanting to address this issue, because losing the art of conversation with your spouse is a sure step on the road to growing apart and before you know it, you will be wondering if you even KNOW this person sitting at the end of the dinner table.

OK, so maybe you can’t reignite the flame that produced the endless conversation. By now you know each other well enough that you don’t have to stay up until 3:00 a.m. telling stories about your life.

But, that doesn’t mean you can’t talk to each other.

Just remember that you have to break the habits you now have and that means taking the time and trouble to plan for your NEW habits.

At the end of a long day, it is easier to just fall back on the old “how was work today” routine, but if you take five minutes during the day to think of things you want to talk about, you’ll find yourself anxious to get home to share the information with your spouse.

Just be sure you don’t pick topics for discussion that you KNOW your spouse will find boring or uninteresting.

And watch for signals as you are talking. You will see the glazed look in her eyes and you’ll know you’ve lost her attention!

Don’t monopolize the discussion. Use the topics you’ve chosen to get the discussion started and ask your spouse what HE thinks about the subject.

Here are some great ways to get started.

Listen to the news in the morning or on your way to work. When you are listening, try to focus on those things you think your spouse would find interesting. What would SHE tell you about? Then ask her if she heard the story, and what she thought about it.

At work, school or out on the street, pay attention to those things that happen during the day that are funny, educational or interesting and talk about those.

Ask your spouse if they have heard from a good friend lately and what is happening with them.

Talk about things you want to plan or do over the next month or two. Vacation planning is a good topic, but only if you are both looking forward to going and if you are both actively involved in planning for the vacation.

One cautionary note: If you only get an hour or two per day in which the two of you can talk, try NOT to use that time to nag your spouse about an incomplete activity or complain about what has been happening at work or home.

Keep the conversation interesting and try to focus on things that are positive so your spouse will WANT to talk to you.

Once you open the lines of communication, you’ll find that you don’t need conversation starters anymore, and you will start to talk about important things again. And, that is what this is really about.

Remember, if you can’t talk about the little things in life, you will NOT talk about the important or difficult things like elder care, the quality of your sex life, critical financial issues, problems with your kids, or your retirement future together.

Stay connected to your spouse and become aware of what is happening in their life and whether they are feeling stressed, happy or depressed.

A good marriage is based on open communication and that takes effort. But, it is well worth the investment!

Divorce Prevention Techniques

For most, the love story started with great expectations. But, somehow, it got off track!

And, what was supposed to be a loving and solid, life-long bond, turned into a relationship filled with anger and silence or skirmishes, battles and disappointment.

If you really want to find an alternative to divorce and to get your relationship back on track, you must first be committed – BOTH OF YOU must want to save your marriage if this effort is going to be successful.

If there is still an abiding love between the two of you and if you can still find pleasure in one another's company, accept your spouse’s flaws, and talk to each other, and if you can still show affection and love for your spouse, then you have a good chance!

It is sometimes hard to break the habits you have formed. But, if you want your marriage to work, you have to open the lines of communication.

Take off your protective armor and stop being defensive and try to LISTEN to what your spouse is saying.

Focus on forgiveness and put the past transgressions behind you. Make a commitment to start again and try to resolve the conflict and avoid the old mistakes.

Above all, learn the art of compromise. You will never meet ANYONE that exists only to satisfy your every need.

A successful relationship is a two-way street; there will be times when you or your spouse will need some special attention.

The loss of a job, or a family member, a period of depression or illness, a disappointment in your personal or professional life, or just plan ‘having a bad day’ are all reasons to expect some loving care.

And in return, your spouse must see and respond to your bad days and the critical stressors in your life, as well.

While you are in the introspective mode, look at the financial situation in your family and ask whether financial stress is wreaking havoc with your marriage.

Are you short on money, trying to pay for college or elder care or surviving on one salary after one of you lost a job?

Does one person spend a lot of money shopping, gambling or buying things on credit?

Does a Law on Human Attraction Exist

Opposites attract is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people? “In a world that is full of strangers” as a line in a famous song of the 1980’s goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other?

Is attraction a matter of chemistry?

Maybe. According to scientists, the attraction between animals of the opposite sex is all about chemicals called pheromones. The effect of pheromones in behavior of insects is the most studied to date. It has been observed, at least in some experiments, that pheromones are responsible for communication among same species and colony of ants. The horrible odor released by skunks to ward off enemies is said to be a kind of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of potential mates to attract them. Some scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. This gene diversity is important in producing offspring with better chances of survival. The perfume industry has capitalized on pheromones as a means to increase one’s sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex. Animals such as the whale and the musk deer were hunted down for these chemicals.

Lately, scientists are looking into the existence of human pheromones and its role in mate selection. There are many conflicting views in the realm of biology, chemistry, genetics, and psychology. Most scientists would assert that these do not exist, or if they do, do not play a role in sexual attraction between a man and a woman. But new researches such as that conducted by Swiss researchers from the University of Bern led by Klaus Wedekind are slowly making these scientists rethink their stand. Their experiment involved women sniffing the cotton shirts of different men during their ovulation period. It was found out that women prefer the smell of men’s shirts that were genetically different, but also shared similarities with the women’s genes. This, like in the case of insects and other mammals, was to ensure better and healthier characteristics for their future children. But researchers also cautioned that preference for a male odor is affected by the women’s ovulation period, the food that men eat, perfumes and other scented body products, and the use of contraceptive pills.

Does personality figure in sexual attraction?

Yes, but so does your perception of a potential mate’s personality. According to a research conducted by Klohnen, E.C., & S. Luo in 2003 on interpersonal attraction and personality, a person’s sense of self-security and at least the person’s perception of his/her partner were found to be strong determinants of attraction in hypothetical situations. What does this tell us? We prefer a certain personality type, which attracts you to a person. But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be verified through close interaction through time, it is your perception of your potential partner that attracts you to him/her, whether the person of your affection truly has that kind of personality or not. This could probably account for a statement commonly heard from men and women on their failed relationships: “I thought he/she was this kind of person.”

So how does attraction figure in relationships?

You have probably heard that attraction is a prelude, or a factor towards a relationship. Most probably, at least in the beginning; but attraction alone cannot make a relationship work. It is that attraction that makes you notice a person from the opposite sex, but once you get to know the person more, attraction is just one consideration. Shared values, dreams, and passions become more significant in long-term relationships.

So should I stop trying to become attractive?

More than trying to become physically attractive, work on all aspects of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical attraction is still a precursor. Remember, biology predisposes us to choose the partner with the healthiest genes. Where your emotions are concerned, just ask this to yourself: would you want to spend time with a person who feels insecure about him/herself? Probably not! There is wisdom in knowing yourself: who you are, your beliefs, values, and dreams. And do not pretend to be someone you are not. Fooling another person by making him/her think that you share the same values and beliefs is only going to cause you both disappointments. When you are healthy in all aspects, attractiveness becomes a consequence and not an end. As mentioned in the Klohnen and Luo’s research, a person’s sense of self-security matters, perhaps even beyond attraction. But remember: do these things for yourself and not for other people. Only then can you truly harness your attractiveness as a person.

Happy as You Want to Be

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also more healthy.

To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.

Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. Being part of a religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'.

Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.

Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Do Not Judge a Woman by Her Looks

I know this tip may sound very cliché, but it’s true. At some point or another we’re all guilty of judging something, or someone, based on appearance alone. While it’s not right, we still seem to have that tendency to be superficial. This type of behavior can be very detrimental when it comes to seducing a woman. Women like to be appreciated for who they are, not what they look like. Even those women who have great physical beauty don’t necessarily want to be judged on that characteristic alone.

Women keep the thought in the back of their mind that one day they may want to have a child. If and when they become pregnant, look at all the changes their body goes through. The mere fact that their body has to expand at a very rapid pace to accommodate the growth of the baby is frightening. And the knowledge that their figure may never be the same is equally frightening.

Another thought that women have is that eventually we all get older and less youthful in appearance. We know that in general, a man is considered more distinguished looking when his hair takes on the salt and pepper look, whereas women merely look old. A few wrinkles on a man are no big deal, but for women the first sign of a wrinkle is cause to consider botox treatment, or more. Society has made women terribly self conscious. Bear in mind when considering what you truly believe is important in a woman. If looks is top on your list it will surely lead to a very dissatisfying experience for you, and your woman.

I’m not trying to say that you have to resolve to be happy with someone you find utterly unattractive. Women all have preferences in looks, personality and many other traits that we have to abide by. It’s a matter of compatibility. But what women do have to take into consideration is that attraction is not just a matter of physical appearance. So take the time to find out what’s inside before you discount women based on what’s outside.

The Art of Seducing a Woman

Understanding what a woman is looking for in a man is the first secret to seducing a woman. For many men, the concept of how to seduce a woman is simply a mystery. It’s understandable, though. Men and women differ in so many ways that it’s difficult for many of us to really grasp how to get inside the mind of the opposite sex.

The true key to seducing a woman isn’t a mere laundry list to check off, step by step. It’s more a guidebook on the path you must follow to completely seduce a woman, mind, body and soul. And believe it or not, what really gets a woman going is much simpler than you may have ever imagined.

Understanding the differences between the sexes will help give you a better foundation on which to build your knowledge of women. Once you can get inside her mind, it’s all downhill from there.

Communication is ultimately the most important aspect in seducing a woman. Like so many other aspects of our lives, effective communication is the key to success. You want to take the time to really get to know her and what she’s looking for. This will benefit you greatly when it comes to pleasing her, so don’t think that getting to know your woman is a pointless, grueling task of learning a bunch of useless information.

Patience when seducing your woman is equally important, too. Being in a hurry will only prove to damage any good you could’ve done by learning anything at all about your woman. When it comes to seducing a woman, take it slow. We want a man to take his time, not just rush in for the brass ring. A woman wants to know that you aren’t just playing her for sex. And the best way to prove yourself is to take your time.

All in all, women want to feel special. Being romantic makes us feel special. So if you want to seduce your woman you have to be romantic. It proves that you care, that you want to please her and that you know how to treat a woman right. Romance will take you a long way in seducing a woman.
