Care Bears parties make for a cuddly good time with kids of all ages. These brightly colored bears like Champ and Bedtime Bear are for boys and girls alike. Care Bears teach lessons of giving and friendship – what a terrific theme to celebrate your child's birthday or to highlight friendships your child may have.

Decorations for Care Bear parties can be made at home without having to buy expensive pre made decorations. One central theme for Care Bears is rainbows. Have your guest of honor help decorate by coloring rainbows and clouds and displaying their artwork on the walls. Brightly colored crepe paper can also be purchased at a dollar store to create a rainbow and to cheer up the room. Pillows can be made with inexpensive fabric stuffed with newspaper to help make the room soft.

How To Treat A Woman You Just Want To Have Sex With When You Already Have Had Sex With Her

Question From A Reader:

How much leeway do you give to a woman who you simply want to have sex with?

I hung out with this woman and found out she has some "issues" which ruled her out as relationship material, but I still wanted to have sex with her; which I did end up doing.

I met up with her in a group setting a few days after that and at the end of the night she asked if I wanted to do something a few days later.

I agreed and we made plans for a night after she went to dinner with her friends.

To make a long story short she stood me up that night!

If you aren't looking for a relationship with a woman how much flakiness and crap should you put up with from her if you are just looking for sex?

Answer:

You shouldn't put up with any crap or flakiness from a woman.

A woman you just want to have sex with should only be called to tell her you are on your way over.

When you met up with her in the group setting you should have taken her home then and not made a date.

Two days or even one for that matter is too much time to setup something with a woman you just want to have sex with, especially when you already have had sex with her.

When you were stood up by her it was your own fault because she shouldn't have had the opportunity to stand you up.

If all you are looking for is sex from a woman you already have had sex with; either you call her up when you are ready to go over there or take her home when the opportunity makes it self available.

Anything more than that is giving her more than a woman you just want for sex deserves, especially after you have already had sex with her.

Good Profile Photos Generate More Interests On Online Dating Sites

Having a good photograph on your profile is just as good as having a good catch phrase or tagline. You may ask why is that. Online dating is all about meeting people and first impressions count. The first visual clue of who you are is your photograph. There are well over millions of profiles out there. So ask yourself why someone would consider your profile over other potentials. Say you're ready to try online dating because all the other conventional approaches are not working. You've updated your profile, and your friends are saying you have a very catchy profile. It's come to that time! What photo of yourself will best paint a good picture of who you really are?

Below are a few suggested and recommended guidelines that apply to uploading pictures online that should seriously be considered.

You should at least add one picture of yourself to your profile. Without one there is the potential of loosing at least 50% of potential viewers. Research has shown that a high percentage of people that search opt out profiles without pictures. This indicates if you don't, you're seriously putting yourself at a disadvantage. Still others don't like the idea of a "blind date," and won't go through with a meeting if they have no clue what you look like.

Always remember to consider profiles as a personal ad and you are marketing your self through the profile. Look at other photographs of other profiles on other online dating site. Is yours similar? If so, you will not stand out from the crowd! The picture you post should be of good quality. Try to avoid distorted or stretched photographs.

Avoid photographs of yourself hard parting in the night club or pictures cut off from a group. There are tons of pictures like this, and they don't make people want to find out more! Your profile will be more attractive than if you hadn't posted a picture, probably, but you're still not going to stand out from the crowd and do yourself justice. Ask yourself what you would want to see if you were a member of the target audience, looking at your profile for the first time, and be critical. Try not to be biased, accept critics from friends.

At the very least, have a picture taken of yourself for the express purpose of using with your dating profile. You don't need to have had it done professionally, although it certainly wouldn't hurt! Consider someone who has a digital camera or loan them yours and can take pictures well, and offer them some incentive I leave that to you. Get them to take a fair number of pictures (20 or so), perhaps on different settings, different days because not all of them may work well, and because you then have a good selection to choose from.

Choose you're a good backdrop, don't just go with anything! A nice simple approach is to go to a field or a beach when it's near sunset, and have pictures taken of your self against this background. The background you choose should show yourself in a romantic or fun setting, and your clothes should be appropriate to that setting.

If you're daring and have the body for it, you may want to show off your body by wearing swimming trunks or a bikini suit. This has a high view rate.

It may be a good idea to try and improve the picture, as is often done of pictures of models in advertising. If you have any obvious, but small, disfigurements, these could be airbrushed out with a painting package. If you can't do it yourself, you probably know someone who can do it for you. Don't go overboard with this; make sure the picture still looks like you.

Please don't lie by posting a picture of celebrity or an attractive model, unless of course you really are one of those people! The picture must be one of your self, otherwise there can never be a face-to-face meeting, and the occasion is likely to end before it begins. There will be a trust issue.

Please do add a border to your picture, colored the same as the hyperlinks on the target site. The reason for this is partly to make your picture stand out, but also because most pictures shown on online dating agency sites are also links to your profile. Your picture will then look like a link, and it increases the chance of it being clicked on. If there is any "outside" to your picture, this should ideally use the exact same color as the background of the site. This can be found by using Alt-Print Screen to grab an image of your web browser when on the dating site, then pasting it into an art package, and identifying the color from there. Note that some online dating agency sites already supply borders around images; the trick will not work on these.

If you have several pictures of you doing interesting activities and the site permits it, post one picture of you doing each activity you have listed as your interest in addition to your head-and-shoulders shot. For example, pictures of you skiing while on holiday; pictures showing you in front of a movie theater; pictures of you participating in your favorite sport. They help to prove that you do the things you say you do in your profile, and they make your profile more interesting! It's worth considering making an "activity shot" your primary picture, which certainly will stand out in the listings.

Tired Of Playing Games With Women

Whenever a man says that he is tired of playing games with women it usually means he isn't getting what he wants or is not succeeding with women.

In other words, he starts off thinking he is going to have sex with her and instead ends up doing a whole lot of things he didn't want to do and didn't even get to have sex with her.

It is as if you went to a restaurant ordered what you wanted to eat, waited for a couple of hours, paid the bill, got up and went home having never actually eaten any food.

Somewhere along the way you chose to believe that following a woman's lead is the key to success with women.

Unfortunately, playing that game will only lead to you running around in circles waiting to get what you want from her.

Men who take the lead with women control the game and if she follows you long enough you can lead her to anywhere you want to go, including sex.

Of course, some women will refuse to follow your lead and if for some reason you choose to follow her you might find yourself getting tired of playing games with women.

Then again, if you simply choose to play your game all the time you do not have to worry about getting tired playing her game.

Yet, you increase your chances of getting what you want by playing your game and having fun while doing it.

While playing her game only can guarantee you jumping through hoops which may or may not lead to you getting what you want.

Go Online to Find Your Soul Mate

Everyone dreams of finding the perfect soul mate who has all the traits they want in his or her partner. One good place to begin your search is Christian online dating sites. These online dating sites help you to find someone with common interests as your own and you'll find a large number of people from which to choose. These sites are safe and you can feel comfortable meeting the right people who share the same basic Christian principles as yourself. This is particularly helpful as compared to a regular date, where you generally know absolutely nothing about the person you have started dating.

Benefits Of Dating Online

Online Christian dating sites provide a safe and healthy place to exchange ideas between two people, before they actually meet. A healthy relationship between two people gives each person in the relationship the feeling of being special and being liked by somebody. This leads also to improved confidence in other areas of life.

Dating a person from your own faith gives you strength to do things, within your framework of values. A like-minded person acts as your support when you feel burdened under the pressure of things happening around you. Conversely, dating a non-Christian will increase the chances of your neglecting basic Christian values and wandering away from your faith.

Secure And Relaxed Setting

On-line Christian dating sites offer protected and comfortable surroundings to meet and get to know new people. Here you get the chance to meet someone, determine whether they hold the same values as you, and then become friends. Oftentimes, the people you meet online will remain your friends all your life. As the friendship develops over time, you may just discover the person is your perfect soul mate.

Endless Choice

Christian dating sites offer an enormous choice of people when seeking a new friend or partner. Since others on a Christian dating site will be more likely to share your beliefs and values, you can be sure of finding someone who shares your religious beliefs as well as your tastes. You can also choose your friends according to your preference of lifestyle and profession.

Things to Look For on an Online Christian Dating Site

The ideal dating web site will have a few or all of the following features:

* Chat rooms are where interesting conversations can take place and can provide a perfect medium to get to know the other person better, without actually meeting them.

* Eventually, you'll want to be able to send mails to the personal email id of the other person.

* The ability of sending voice messages can also be a benefit and is available on some of these sites.

* Sharing pictures with your online friends by posting them in a picture gallery can also foster getting to know one another better.

* And, a site that offers online matchmaking can be a huge benefit to you.

A Few More Important Guidelines to Consider

Most Christian dating sites have a very strict privacy policy and will professionally maintain the privacy and security of the information provided by their customers.

When you first start using an online dating site it's important to maintain your anonymity. Although the dating sites do not revel your identity to other members, eventually you will get in touch with others and exchange personal information. You'd be advised to first exchange more general information with the person, as you take the time to form an opinion about them. Exchanging your contact details or personal details should wait for a later time.

When you finally feel comfortable to share your personal information with the other person, make sure they also reveal as much about themselves. Since meeting is typically the next step in a relationship like this, pressure will start building for you to meet. However, don't feel pressurized or jump to any conclusions. You want to spend enough time talking or exchanging e-mails until you feel comfortable with your choice.

When you do finally meet for the first time, it's prudent to meet at a public place for the first few meetings. A coffee shop, a restaurant, a mall or busy market are a few ideal spots for meeting for your first dates. You may even want to have a close friend accompany you on your very first meeting. Before your first meeting, be sure to leave the details of your meeting, such as place and time of meeting, with a friend or family member. Having your own vehicle also helps to avoid unpleasant or uncomfortable situations.

Throughout the process from initial contact to personal meeting, always pay attention and heed any alarming signals you receive. For example, if you feel that the other person is avoiding certain questions, that might be a signal to stay away. When you do meet, does the person live up to the details they gave you before? How is the person's behavior when you meet? As a Christian, you wouldn't approve of your partner making any physical advances, for instance. If you observe behavior and gestures that seem rude, you should heed this as a warning and stay away from that person in future.

So, if you want to stay away from the partying and clubbing scene, then a Christian dating site might be for you. Christian dating sites are the ideal place to find a large number of like-minded people, having similar interests and hobbies as you. Pay attention to the advice given here and you'll have more pleasant and fulfilling dating experiences. You can enjoy the fun of dating while at the same time seek your soul mate.

10 Easy Steps To Hosting A Dinner Party

Congratulations, you want to throw a fabulous dinner party! Dinner parties are the most delightful way to entertain friends and family in the comfort of your own home. There is a very special feeling that your guests have when you open your home to them. It is much more entertaining and pleasurable than having a get together in a restaurant atmosphere.

There is a lot of work that can go into planning, but it does not have to be difficult. You are the only person who can make the process hard, or you can make it simple and easy.

Above all, here is one main rule that you must adhere to – You must stick to your budget. If you go overboard, you will end up regretting that you even gave the party and will not be as thrilled to throw another one, so stick to the plan when it comes to money.

Here are the 10 Easy Steps for Planning a Great Party:

1. Sit down and write out a list of guests. You should do this first because once you determine the number of guests, you can work with a budget. The number of people you invite is up to you, so determine how many people you want to accommodate in your home. People will need space to mingle and not feel cramped.

2. Determine your theme of the party. Think about the reason you are throwing the party. This could be your theme. Other theme ideas can revolve around games, movies, Academy Awards shows, or any other special showings.

3. Next, concentrate on your color theme if you are not using all white, or a black and white theme. If you are using color, try not to have more than two to three colors.

4. What will your table setting look like? Do you have enough china and tableware to accommodate the number of guests? The color of your linen napkins (if you are using color) should look striking next to your china.

5. Next, work on your centerpiece. Imagine how it will work with your color choices. The flowers can match your color theme as well.

6. Now the good stuff! Plan your meal menu. You can use a cookbook to try and find your meals, or you can search the internet for recipes. Keep in mind your guests and any food allergies that you may know about and take those into consideration. The meals can have a theme as well. Your meals can range from simple to lavish five to seven course meals. Your presentation and table setting will set the stage.

7. Make a grocery list of the items that you will need for your meals and the quantity according to the number of guests that you want to invite. Get your groceries a few days in advance. Do not wait until the day of the party. Do not forget your beverages!

8. Make a list of the other items you will need, such as flowers, china if you do not have enough, tablecloth, linen napkins, flatware, chair covers if you choose, wine or champagne, coffee, candles, and beautiful vase.

9. Make a scheduled day when you will get the house cleaned for the party. Are the carpets fresh, floors waxed, and bathrooms spotless?

10. Send out your invitations 3-4 weeks ahead of time. This will allow your guest to clear their calendar for the event.

The Day Before The Party

• Pick a day to shop for your groceries, flowers, beverages and other supplies.

• Write out a list of things to do and cross them off as you complete them.

• Get the house cleaned if you have not already done so.

• Choose your outfit. If you have other family members, make sure they know what they will wear.

• You may choose to prepare one or two of the meals on this day as well, preferably the main course and the dessert.

• Set the table arrangement and the centerpiece.

The Day Of The Party

• Prepare your meals in the morning as early as possible.

• Make sure the house is clean.

• Make sure there is enough room in the home for mingling. If you have to rearrange furniture, please do so.

• Put up your theme decorations if any.

A Lose Lose Situation Men Put Themselves In With Women

It amazes me how so many men can fall for a woman's routing of waiting to have sex.

When you wait to have sex longer than you would like it increases the chances of you not having sex with her.

The main reason is simple, even though she might not say it her making you wait till she is ready is her setting you up to be in the "friend zone"

As we all should know by now, an involuntary trip to the friend zone is usually a permanent trip.

Understand that you should never force or beg a woman to have sex with you before she is ready to have sex with you, as one is illegal and the other just plain weak.

Yet, you must not accept her answer as fact and never agree to and wait till her arbitrary day of consummation

Women want a man who is in control and if you give her control just by her telling you to wait, you potentially kill whatever attraction you had managed to create in the first place.

To make matters even more obvious, if she was in control of her emotions enough to tell you to wait, there is little if any amount of attraction to begin with.

Of course, another reason not to wait is, assuming you somehow manage to avoid the "friend zone" for the duration of the waiting period; you and her are now in the habit of not having sex with each other.

In addition, you more than likely found yourself doing a whole lot of things you didn't want to do and did them only because she wanted to do them.

This means, you have put yourself in the habit of doing things you don't want to do as well as reinforces the habit of her controlling you.

In the end, agreeing to wait till her arbitrary time in the future to have sex puts you in a lose-lose situation with yourself.

You lose if you go into the "friend zone" and you lose if you allow her to control your life.
