Three biggest signs that he is no longer interested in you

March 10, 2024February 22, 2024 by Joy Ekpouko

Relationship can be very tricky. First of all you started dating this guy, everything was rosy and sweet, he calls you everyday, takes good care of you, buys you gifts.

Everything was just so great until suddenly he stops, the phone calls drops, it takes him forever to reply your text.

You have complained and they promised you that nothing is wrong, you have tried to wave it off but you just couldn’t.

Well most times it’s usually because they suddenly got busy with work, or maybe something came up at home that they are trying to take care of.

Whatever the case may be, if he is loosing interest, there are obvious signs that you should look out for.

1: YOU SO MUCH FEEL IT IN YOUR GUT

There is a strong unease about something. This is not typical of you, yet you feel insecure and unsure of yourself. You wonder why he would do that.

It’s a solid indication he’s losing interest if you’re pondering, analyzing, and asking your friends’ opinions about his actions.

When a man really likes you and still interested in you, you would see it, If you have to ask yourself that question, the likelihood of him still liking you is low.

2: YOU ARE ALWAYS THE ONE INITIATING EVERYTHING

let’s face it, at first he was always the one calling you up, planning dates , but suddenly it feels like you would have to complain before they do.

You always the one calling, it takes them forever to reply your text or even pick up your calls, and when they do, they always have excuses to back it up and never feel sorry about it.

I mean what does it matter? If You want to leave, leave!

This is a clear sign that he is no longer interested in you. When a man really loves you, you won’t have to ask for things such as calls and dates, it Will never take them forever to reply you, calling you? Fixing up dates? Everything comes effortlessly .

3: HIS BODY LANGUAGE CHANGES

Someone who likes you will show it all over, from their gaze to the angle of their feet.

Around a lady he likes, a guy behaves differently. He looks at her intently, leans closer, and positions his body so that it is squarely in front of her; tense energy may cause him to become a little shifty. If he stops performing these things and instead moves his body away from you, stops staring at you, is tight around you, or stops sitting close to you, it suggests he no longer cares about you.

Him not flirting with you is a further indication. He merely treats you somewhat similarly to everyone else.

If you have noticed any of these signs, i would advice you call them up and have a talk with them, if after having this conversation and you still didn’t see any change, then you know it’s time to let go and focus on yourself and your life.

Love shouldn’t be chased, it shouldn’t be hard, it shouldn’t be painful. If you cry more than you are happy in your relationship, you are obviously dating the wrong person.

How To Be More Productive In life

March 10, 2024February 22, 2024 by Joy Ekpouko

How To Be More Productive In life

How to be more productive in life and your relationship/home should always be one of the things that run through the mind of everyone including the youth.

No one can be responsible in life if they don’t first of all, say to themselves I want to be most productive or I want to learn how to be most productive in life.

Productivity does not just happen, it takes determination and sacrifice for someone to decide that he or she wants to be productive.

Therefore, Productivity is a necessity in life if we want to be responsible in life, or if we want people to take us seriously.

Trying to be productive in life is very nice, and is the first step to take but then, before you become productive, there are some things you will need to put in place in other to stay productive.

So in this article, I will be highlighting some things you will need to fix, and also things to avoid, etc so keep reading.

Productive Things To Do

1. Belief: You can’t succeed in anything that you don’t believe in. that’s to say that when you don’t believe in something or someone, you will place less value on it.

And whatever is not valued, cannot be taken as important. so to be most productive, you need to start believing, believing in yourself, and in everything that you do.

2 Focus: You can’t achieve anything when you lose focus in life even when you believe. that’s why it is said, “faith without work is dead”. The same goes with focus. you cannot reach your goals if you don’t remain focused.

3 Pick a skill: If you are still young, it is either you start classes, or you pick a job or learn something. Starting classes here doesn’t mean that if you are not financial balance, it is a must to start schooling.

No, picking a class is not a must it should be a school, you can choose to learn online, using YouTube videos, Google, etc.

There are free videos and courses online that you can learn from using your phone or PC.

You just have to decide on which one you want and then go for it.

4 Strike: If you want to be among the best in whatever you do, you have to strike to be better, to ensure that you are better than yesterday. Learn new things that are related to whatever you.

Habits To Avoid To Become Highly Productive

For you to become highly productive in life, there are certain things you must ensure that you drop that’s if only you want to be productive that some of those things are;

1 Your past: Yeah this is my point number one because no matter the points I will be listed here or another blog is listing, without letting go of the past, there can be no progress in life.

Your past can bring you down and also the power to lift you, but you can’t be up there if you are still holding on to the past.

The past does not allow people to see the great things that the future is having for them because they are busy holding on to the past.

2 Comparison: Comparing yourself with people will not allow you to know or to see what you also have. We all have one or more extraordinary things in us but we can’t discover it if we don’t, first of all, accept that we are special too.

And you can only start discovering it when you stop wishing to be someone else that you are not and start being the real you.

3 Bad Company: You are a nice person, you always wish to be better one day but yet you are walking with people who carry bad influence as friends.

This act most times make one become suspended whenever something bad takes place in the environment.

So changing your circle of friends will help you to be highly productive along the line.

4 Drink less: I won’t say don’t drink but instead I will say “drink less”. drinking less will help you to still think straight instead of having someone to decide for you.

A drink has a kind of alcohol that if you don’t avoid it on time or reduce it, will direct your path. So why give your life into the hands of alcohol influence.

5 Laziness: Productive people do not allow laziness to come in between their plans for the day, week, or year. Laziness tells you “Why not relax”? you can always do it tomorrow.

Laziness tells you that you should not rush for anything, you should take things low. If you want to be productive, you just have to avoid letting laziness give you a guide in life.

Productive Health

Productive health is all about being happy in life. good health is a result of taking good care of yourself on both the inner and outer path.

Productive health is generated by the peace that you have within yourself.

You can’t have a productive life if you don’t do productive things.

But before we look at the signs you’re falling in love, let’s, first of all, look at what falling in love means.

Falling in love: This is the process whereby someone starts developing emotional feelings for someone either knowingly or unknowingly to the person.

Now we know what it means, let’s see the signs you’re falling in love;

1 You smile at the person regularly: One thing you can hide from your friends or colleague is when you develop feelings for someone. No matter how you want to hide it and pretend that you are not falling for the person, you can’t hide it from others.

And one of the things that expose you to your friends is your smile. When you are falling in love with someone, you will see yourself smiling at the person anytime you have eye contact with each other.

Love has a kind of wind that blows to you that you can’t resist.

2 You defend the person at all times: Have you ever stood up against your friends just for a lady or a man before? then you are in love/crushing on the person.

Someone who is in love with you or who is secretly crushing on you will not be able to sit and watch someone or people bullying you without rising for you.

3 The person fills your thought: When you are falling for someone, there is a possibility that you will not be able to think straight all because you keep hearing his voice on your ear, whenever you want to close your eye, you keep seeing her or him.

Stop asking yourself what is going on with you, because you are falling in love with the person.

4 You enjoy his chats/calls: Sometimes ago, you two used to chat for maybe 20 minutes only, but now, you can chat with the person even from morning to night, you are not tired nor feel like chatting with someone else. That’s love.

5 Low Appetite: Have you felt like being with someone on the phone, or face to face is better than getting into the kitchen to get something to eat? Is not laziness, is the love magic that is working.

You are in love with the person in a way that you don’t want to miss any chance of having a chat with him or her. so you can skip food just to be with the person.

6 Joy Overflow: Love brings peace, joy, and happiness into everyone’s life. having someone that loves you just as you love them, is something that even money cannot give you that.

7 Your Heartbeats faster: People’s hearts do not beat fast by just seeing or talking with someone except they are in shock. but when you feel your heart beating as if it going to fall off, just know that you are medically okay.

It is just your heart desiring for something so serious.

8 You become motivated: one of the signs you’re falling in love is that when this takes place in your heart, you will see yourself being ready to put any idea into action without wasting time.

You just feel like a big responsibility has been added to you that you have to ensure that you become productive.

9 Seeing him becomes your priority: It is said “where your heart is, that’s where your treasure is”. You can’t say you love someone if they are not also your priority, that’s which you just can’t stay a day without seeing him or her and then still feel comfortable.

10 He has a big space in your heart: You can’t give someone a bigger space in your life just like that except you are in falling in love with the person.

No matter how much you love your friends, they can never fill all the space in your heart. but when one person among your friends, start occupying those space more than other friends of yours, you start seeing yourself feeling even more comfortable with just his or her company,

then it is one of the signs you’re falling in love with that your friend.

So if you ever had any of those feelings, just know that you are feeling in love with someone.

Reasons why dating your best friend is great

March 10, 2024February 22, 2024 by Joy Ekpouko

dating your best friend is great

Dating your best friend is one of the best and great ideas someone who wants to be happy can take but this does not mean that if you are not dating your best friend, you will not be happy. Dating your bestie has a lot of advantages when compared to dating a total stranger who you are trying to get to know. That is why, in this article, we are going to discuss a few important reasons this kind of partner is great.

When you are dating someone, it means that you are there for a purpose and not just a one-night stand and no matter what the purpose is, you want to be happy in the process of fulfilling does purpose.

What is the importance of dating your best friend?

1 Solid Understanding: Have you ever wondered why a lot of relationships don’t work today? It is because the couples have no mutual understanding and that is one fine thing about introducing friendship into your relationship before getting married.

You need understanding for your relationship to work and you cannot get this from a total stranger until they get to know you. That is why dating your best friend comes number one in this.

Your best friend is someone that you understand and he or she understands your kind of person too because that is what makeup best friends. Understanding each other and then still choosing each other to hang around as best.

2 You can be yourself when your partner is around: Have you ever seen couples who act so obedient and perfect in the presence of their partner? If you haven’t, I have.

When I was in college, I had a friend although we are still friends now just that distance keeps us apart, whenever his girlfriend comes around maybe in the class or café, the guy will start dancing on his chair thinking of standing up or hiding or running, etc. and this thing happens for some period so one day, we decided to ask him why he likes acting that way when they girl comes around is he afraid of the girl? His response shocked me.

He said, “ Is not that I am scared of her, the only problem is that she always suspects me whenever I talk with any lady and threaten to break up”. It was funny but still, I didn’t know what that got to do with us because we have been 4 in our click since High school and that makes us his best buddies. (Two girls two guys).

I was curious so I asked again, to clarify things for us “what does that got to do when you are with us”?

He said the girl don’t even want to see him with ladies including us in fact, especially us. Wow. That was a blow. This is a guy that the four of us have been friends with since high school, since before they two started dating and you are not only stopping girls from coming closer but also his friends.

But I couldn’t blame the girl because she didn’t understand the kind of guy she was dating and I don’t think she knew how uncomfortable she was making the guy feel. With this, communication is hard.

The guy wasn’t himself because they lack mutual understanding and when it is lacking in the relationship, point 3 comes in.

3 Trust: The girl didn’t trust the guy and she was doing everything to ensure that she save her relationship not knowing that she is ruining it herself. Lack of trust birth forth insecurity.

Your best friend understands you, meaning you don’t need to fake just to please him and just to please her. This only happens because you know and you are confident that he or she trust you and know that you will not do anything funny to ruin the relationship, especially the friendship.

4 The right expectation: As a lady, you can’t go and date a man that does not understand the importance of serving his partner breakfast on bed and be expecting him to show that gesture one day of course no, it won’t happen especially when he doesn’t know that you are one of those ladies that love that action.

But if you were to be dating your best friend, he will know what fantasies are and how to sweep you off your feet even when you are angry.

Some best friends understand their friends even more than their friends understand themselves. This is because when they were having fun and laughing their lungs out, their friends mentioned the things they wish to do with their partners when they find one so they jot that down in their brain for future use.

So your friend knows your expectation from them, your plans for the future and they also know the things you don’t like and don’t wish for.

Can a best friend be a soulmate?

It is not all best friends that are soulmates. Some best friends were just created to be friends and friends they shall remain. But if you are dating your best friend and you are enjoying it, then congrats to you because you have found your treasure.

Your soulmate is someone to which you feel connected without any motive but it just happens.

What is it like dating your best friend?

Wow hold on, let’s take it slow, haha. Dating your best friend can give you the best feeling ever because you will not feel insecure this is because you know who and what your partner is, you feel protected, not because he will join forces but it is because he will be very possessive and protective of you.

You will be able to develop self-confidence because you have someone that believes in you and your dreams. You will feel satisfied. Your friend knowing you even before you guys started dating is a big help to stop relationship anxiety.

That stress and adjustment that new couples do so that their partner will take them seriously will not apply to you because you know that your partner knows both in and out of you i.e is the good side and the bad side.

But also it can be something for ladies that enjoys playing hard-to-get game before dating a guy. And since you are dating your best friend, the space for hiding your feelings or hiding something from him is reduced to 20% haha don’t worry because the 80% is for the positive vibes of it.

I am telling you this from experience because my partner today, has been my best friend since college and we are still friends to date. SEE ALSO: Christopher’s love story

Which is best relationship or friendship?

There are a lot of things you can do in a friendship that you cannot do in a relationship because you are scared if you take that action that your relationship may break. But with friendship, they are room for mutual understanding.

For your relationship to work, there are a lot of demands you will have to put in place and some are, adjusting in others to fit into your partner’s life. You may even have to change your identity to who you are not just to please them but with friendship, you don’t have to do all that.

Friends choose you for who you are or for what you carry and not because of who they want you to be. They don’t try instilling the part in which you don’t have except they know that you have it but cannot discover it, then they will help you discover it on your own.

Now that we have seen a little difference between the 2, which is the best relationship or friendship? I hope you choose correctly.
