OMG! My Relationship is Making Me Fat!
July 5, 2010
You are back in the dating world and you are in love! Your relationship is unstoppable. You find that the more you do together, the more you love doing together. You go to the movies, you go to dinner, or you two stay in. It doesn’t matter…as long as you are both together. You are no longer alone. No more eating Ramen noodles or cereal for dinner, for you.

You are enjoying your dinners out on the town more than you used to before which now includes appetizers and dessert.

There are some women who are so addicted to pain and drama that they begin to create their own hurtful reality of deceit, distrust, tragedy, and heartache. They do this by walking into and staying in situations that they know (for a fact) will produce more of the negative than the positive. These are women who chase fire. Below are my top six categories.

Sooo, is there a good way to ask about his intentions early and if so, how? Also, what are 3 of the top deciding factors that men use when deciding to date or not date a woman OR marry or not marry a woman?
