As someone who can barely calculate a tip, I don't have much to add to the conversation about our tanking economy. But I would like to share one little piece of wisdom I picked up from my favorite social economists: you can't buy me love. Corny but true. Don't believe me? Try one of my five patented Romance Enhancers—if you don't think they're more effective than a gift card I'll send you a full refund. Bonus tip: Give him a free pass to go out and drink beer with his friends. 1) Touch his arm. There are a lot of ways to subtly let a guy know you're into him, like maintaining eye contact, playing with your hair and smiling a lot. But the only one that sends shivers down my spine is when a girl touches my arm during conversation. It always surprises me and it's always great. 2) Send him a random text message in the middle of the day. OK, this might not be free depending on your cell phone plan, but it's still a great value. Nothing breaks the monotony of a long workday like a flirty note from someone special, and unless his job is super-intense he'll have plenty of time to daydream about you. 3) Ask him a question about something he knows a lot about. Newsflash: Guys like to show off for you. So if your dude could use an ego boost there's nothing like letting him feel like an expert. Ask him about fishing, the 1983 Chicago White Sox or the mating habits of the Guyanese woodfinch—whatever he's into. Just remember to nod a lot and look really interested. 4) Give him a very specific compliment. Telling a guy he's funny, handsome or smart is always appreciated, but the really meaningful compliments are the ones that reveal how well you know him. Something like "I love the way your face scrunches up when you're doing the crossword puzzle" or "You have the sexiest calves I've ever seen." __5) Send him the diary entry you wrote after your first date (or write one now). __One of the best things about having a girlfriend is reminiscing about what you thought about each other in the beginning of your relationship. Reliving all of the uncertainty and anxiety is strangely exhilarating. I can't think of a better anniversary present than a sanctioned peek into the diary of someone I care about.

pinkvilla.com - 4 Zodiac signs who have an attitude problem | PINKVILLA

Sure, life can be hard sometimes. It can throw curveballs at you which may make you feel irritated and agonised. Some people often become bitter at such times and develop an attitude problem. They crib, complain and have a negative mindset. Such people often are uncompromising and stubborn and unknowingly say hurtful things to people. According to astrology, there are 4 zodiac signs who have a bad attitude and are thus avoided by people. Aries When Aries-born people become stressed, they make everyone around them stressed! They become hyper, aggressive and annoying and don’t really hesitate to ruin other people’s day with their bad attitude and constant complaining. Gemini Geminis often have a hard time trying to make the right decision. When due to their indecisiveness, they choose the wrong thing, they become anxious and annoying. At such times, they aren’t really the best people to hang out with! Virgo Virgos are know-it-alls. They feel like since they are perfectionists, they have the right to dominate others and openly criticise them in a harsh and hurtful way. They can often get too carried away with their criticism and hurt their loved ones. Aquarius Aquarians think of themselves as being superior to others. They feel like they are a class apart. This makes them bitter and cynical in approach and they end up distancing themselves from other people.
