What Women Want in a Relationship - How to Be a Better Boyfriend and Lover!

By Keith Ryker

As men we are always trying to figure out what women want in a relationship. Have you figured it out yet? If not, you're far from alone.
One reason why it's so hard to figure out what women want in a relationship is because, in many cases, they don't even know. And if they don't know, how can you?
It's probably safe to assume that what women want in a relationship is...EVERYTHING! However, that doesn't always mean that they'll get it.
In their minds, women have an image of the perfect man. They are raised on fairy-tale stories of love and romance. They expect their knight in shining armor to sweep them off their feet and carry them off into the sunset where they will live happily ever after with their Prince Charming.
Then reality sets in. Before long, they are forced to lower their standards a bit. OK, quite a bit! That's great for us because, let's face it, what man can live up to those kinds of standards?
Still, we can be the best boyfriends and lovers we can be by paying attention to our women and making them feel special.
===> We can begin by not forgetting our relationship milestones such as anniversaries: the day you met, where you had your first kiss or the first time you both said, "I Love You!" Recognizing these important milestones in your relationship means a lot to a woman. Send her flowers or make reservations at her favorite restaurant to celebrate the special day. It's sad how many men forget these important days. I promise you your lover hasn't forgotten them. If you have to, record the dates somewhere so you don't forget.
===> We can be romantic. Surprise her with little gifts or love notes placed secretly in her jewelry box or panties drawer. Plan something special for the two of you like an intimate dinner or a romantic night out. This is something Prince Charming would do!
===> Women want a man who is fun to be with and makes them laugh. Sure, sometimes you will not be in the greatest mood but don't let her know it. Put aside your problems and smile...for her. Let her see her man treating her like the queen she is.
===> Women want a man who is considerate and respects their moods, feelings and insecurities. This means listening to them and showing concern when they express their thoughts. They will feel unloved if you miss this. You don't want that, do you?
===> Always be honest. This is something ALL women want in a relationship. A union based on deception is doomed to failure. Sometimes she may not like your total honesty but she will respect you for it.
Final thoughts: What women want in a relationship is a man who is attentive, loving, romantic, considerate and fun to be with. You don't have to be Prince Charming to make your lover feel special. Just treat her like the queen she is and you WILL be her Prince Charming.

Here's my BEST TIP that'll help you discover how to REALLY flirt and sexually attract ANY woman you meet...

How To Get Him Back And Mend Your Broken Heart

By D P Haynes

 

I'm sorry your heart has been broken sweetie and you find yourself searching for help on how to get him back. There are some guys who never really appreciate what they have until it's gone. I hope this helps ease your pain and gives you a few ideas on how to win him back.
Unfortunately break-ups are very common today as men have so many interests competing for their time. It's not an excuse but a reality. Very often you are competing against other people in his life as well as his hobbies and work. Sometimes you have to change the dynamics of your relationship to help him see that at some point he has to make a choice between a sound and loving relationship or his selfish desires.
Is it true love on your part that has you on this mission to learn how to get him back or your pride and ego?
Believe it or not, some women have so much pride that the thought of being broken up with sets off a weird reaction or response. They can't accept that the relationship ended and it wasn't totally their call. So they pursue their ex just for the sake of getting back together for the sole purpose of ending the relationship on their terms.
So, please examine your heart and make sure it is love and not pride driving you to try to get him back. If you find that it is pride, please don't waste your time in trying to get him back into your life. It's not worth it and in the end could bring more pain and sadness to your life. If you are motivated by love please read on.
How To Win Him Back Tips
Don't Use Social Media To Make Your Case
Have you seen lately some of the crazy stuff that ends up in Facebook or Twitter or people's personal blog? Some people share the intimate details about their lives and relationship. Some of these social media sites are great places for friends to communicate and enhance relationships. These avenues can also be used to destroy relationships. So make sure that you are using these tools to help you win him back and not push him away for good.
In the case of Facebook and Twitter please don't put negative stuff out there and hope that it ticks him off enough to make him call you. Also, don't stalk him online and bombard him with tweets and F/B messages. The key to winning your guy back for good is helping him reach the conclusion that you belong together instead of forcing him back into you life.
Don't Expect Things To Flow Logically
I'm sure you will agree that sometimes what your ex says doesn't make sense. On the one hand he says that it's over but his actions don't always back up his words. Or it could be that the reasons that he gave for breaking up doesn't make sense.
The one thing that I can assure you is that folks often times do and say odd things when they are in love or falling out of love. It would be nice if things always went according to plans because relationships would be simple, less frustrating and less painful.
So the point is to expect the unexpected and be prepared to adjust your plan to give yourself the best chance to win him back.
I have a friend who was going through a similar situation and my advice to her was to not panic and not do things that made her seem needy, cling and desperate to get her guy back. It's pretty easy to learn how to get him back once you focus on doing the right things, at the right times and for the right reasons. Please hang in there and create the atmosphere that invites him to come back into your life and you will be as happy as my friend is. I look forward to hearing back from you and perhaps you can share your success with others about how to get him back after a breakup.

If you have 2 more minutes please take a moment and read here, How To Get Him Back to get some extra pointers to help you through this difficult time.
Remember, the key to winning back his heart is not just about doing the right things, but it's also about timing and avoiding mistakes. Again, if you need more guidance in ending the pain and winning him back, see here; http://helpgetbackex.info/get-him-back-2

How To Make Takoyaki in Ten Easy Steps

By Donald Ash

 

Living in Japan is wonderful! One thing I really like about it is having incredible students. One of my English-lesson students, Taeko, actually showed me how to make takoyaki! It's one of those Japanese foods that I really like eating here in Japan, but have never had the courage to try making on my own. If you're not the best of cooks, like me, take heart, because making takoyaki isn't as complicated as you may think. If I can do this, you can do this. In essence, if you have takoyaki batter, diced octopus, and a takoyaki-maker, you can cook up some rudimentary takoyaki. But it's always nice to add all of those little, special ingredients that give your takoyaki just a little bit of oomph.
WHAT IS TAKOYAKI EXACTLY? Takoyaki*, is a very popular Japanese food. To put it simply, takoyaki is a battered, pan-grilled, octopus dumpling. Takoyaki methods will vary from person to person and from cook to cook, but the fundamental concept remains the same, it's a dumpling with octopus inside. You can often find food vendors selling takoyaki at food stands in just about any festival you go to in Japan. Your local Japanese supermarket generally has them, too.
*I often make the mistake of calling them squid dumplings, but takoyaki are definitely made from octopus meat. The Japanese word for squid, on the other hand is "ika."*
TAKOYAKI INGREDIENTS & SUPPLIES:

• Takoyakiki (Takoyaki pan)
• Takoyaki probes -Takoyaki batter (Unfortunately I didn't get the exact ingredients for the batter from Taeko, but as soon as I do, I'll post an updated version)
• Diced Tako (Octopus)
• Benishoga (Pickled Ginger)
• Negi (Green Onions)
• Ebi (Dried Shrimp)
• Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps)
• Katsuobushi or (Fish Shavings)
• Okonomiyaki Sauce

Takoyaki in Ten Easy Steps

• Step 1. Oil your takoyaki pan.
• Step 2. Add takoyaki batter- Using a ladle, pour takoyaki batter into each of the takoyaki pan wells.
• Step 3. Add tako (octopus) to each well.
• Step 4. Add benishoga (pickled ginger) to each well.
• Step 5. Add negi (green onions) to each well.
• Step 6. Add dried shrimp (ebi) to each well.
• Step 7. Add tenkasu (tempura scraps) to each takoyaki well.
• Step 8. Add another layer of takoyaki batter- You can be generous with the batter this time. Even if the wells overflow with batter, it's okay.
• Step 9. Do a bit of takoyaki surgery- Use the takoyaki probes to "section off" wells, and shape the takoyaki into their characteristic spherical shape.
• Step 10. Keep turning the takoyaki until the dumplings are golden brown.

Optional Adding okonomiyaki sauce really brings out the takoyaki's flavor. You can garnish the takoyaki with katsuobushi, fish shavings.
I know eating octopus sounds extremely strange to some people, I know it did to me before coming to Japan. Octopus sounds like an ingredient that should be boiling in some witch's cauldron instead of being stocked in your refrigerator. I know. But I encourage you to give them a try, because I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Takoyaki is a truly tasty Japanese food, and I'm not talking about an acquired taste either...like natto (fermented, sock-smelling, soybeans). You can actually enjoy them the very first time you eat them.
Itadakimasu!- (Kind of like saying "Thanks for the meal!" in Japanese)

Best Tips on How to Make a Pizza at Home

By Johan Vandekerckhove

It still is delicate to make pizza yourself.
Not simple, if you want the bottom to be as the ones you find in Italy. A crispy almost burnt crust, which is not easy! Having your own pizza oven in the kitchen is a bit big and very hot. But there are other possibilities.
Try putting a flat tile or stone in the oven and cook it glowing hot for one hour on the highest setting and then bake your pizza on it.
For the bottom crust you will need:
250 grams sifted flower, half a packet of dry yeast, salt, water and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Sift the flour, mix the dry yeast through, then the water (careful, not too much at once and continue kneading. If it is too dry, add a little water, then the olive oil and only then, add the salt.
Knead just until until you get a smooth elastic dough. If you salt too early your dough will not rise as it should. Knead again for 15 minutes. Let it rise for at least one hour, preferably longer in a warm place.
Now the sauce: a can of tomatoes, season with oregano, salt, pepper, and squeezed garlic clove. all in a saucepan and gently let simmer (20 minutes). Let it cool down. Knead the dough again and roll as thin as possible. Turn the oven on high. Real pizza ovens go to 450 degrees but that can not be achieved with our kitchen ovens. Now cover the pizza dough with a thin layer of sauce and mozzarella cheese, a bit of pepper and a little olive oil.
Slide the pizza in the oven and let it bake. In a real pizza oven it takes only 3 minutes but at home, it takes much longer. If he is golden he can come out of the oven and the pizza is ready.
Here are a few variations:
1) I love the pizza "bianco".
That is actually an empty pizza but I like putting some Mozzarela cheese to it. Slide it into the oven. If the pizza is baked, sprinkle generously with rucola and put some roast beef or carpaccio, a splash of olive oil and a stroke of the pepper mill. Delicious!
2) Create a regular pizza, but with tomato slices and place on along with some anchovies, oregano and sliced boiled egg. Sprinkle some Mozzarela and slide it in the oven.
3) make a simple pizza with tomato sauce and put some nice soft-boiled ham, sauteed mushrooms and some Mozzarella and in the oven.
Some general tips.
1) Don't put too much sauce, because that makes you a wet pizza.
2) Do not overload your pizza ingredients: 3 is the maximum.
3) Eat it as soon as possible! Only americans eat cold pizza!
4) Bake your pizza in an oven as hot as possible, the hotter the better!
5) Never put pineapple on your pizza, that's a ordinary sin!
Drink a cool, dry red Lambrusco with it and you're good! Cheers!

Using Backlinks to Increase Your Websites Page Rank

By E. Jonathon Burritt

 

What are backlinks and why should I care about them? Backlinks are often referred to as incoming or inbound links to a website. Essentially, a backlink is any type of link received by any web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) linked from any other web node.
Now according to Google, a websites' position in their search results are determined based upon a number of factors designed to provide users with helpful, and accurate results. One of the factors that help determine a website's page rank is the number of high-quality links to their pages. This means that it is essential to build the right links to your webpage in order to maximize your exposure.
The more backlinks that a web site has the better right? Not always. One should be careful in choosing their link partners, as only relevant links should be exchanged. This means that if you have a web site dedicated to weight loss, you probably shouldn't exchange links with a fast food chain. It is truly a case of quality, and not quantity when examined by Google.
From Google: The quantity, quality, and relevance of links count towards your rating. The sites that link to you can provide context about the subject matter of your site, and can indicate its quality and popularity. However, some webmasters engage in link exchange schemes and build partner pages exclusively for the sake of cross-linking, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites.
So how do you start out on a link-building campaign? Your first step in getting other sites to link to your website is to create unique content. Let's be honest, no one is going to link to your site if you have nothing worth linking to. When was the last time you shared something non-relevant to your friends? To be "link-worthy", your site should have original and relevant content which will encourage other sites to link back to you.
As the webmaster for your site, you should research websites with similar content to your own. Many of these websites will have Contact Us pages where you can send a note to request a link exchange. A best practice for maintaining link exchange partners is to create a "Links" or "Resources" page on your website. This way you can create reciprocal links between your website and your link partners.
If you stumble across a site that you want to link to, but there is no Contact Us page, do no fret. Most of the time there will be an email address for the webmaster listed on the site. Try sending a simple email requesting a link exchange. See the following example:
Hello, I am seeking out possible link partners with other websites that have common interests to my own. I found your website to be a good fit for our visitors, and as a courtesy I have gone ahead and added a link to your website on my own. I am contacting you to see if it is okay to have done so, and also to inquire if you mind linking back to us? If so, please use the linking details below and send me the location of our link on your website. Here is our linking details:
Title: CT Web Design and Development
URL: exampleurl.com
I hope this can be a way for us to mutually benefit our visitors with excellent content. Hope to hear from you soon.
Short, simple, and to the point. Maintain a certain level of professionalism and it will hopefully be returned.
