Nicknames

Sugar, Muffin-Top, snookums, baby, teddy bear, among a bunch of other sweet nicknames, are often given to describe the sweet side of a person. Other nicknames, such as Bull Dog, Tiny, and Pee-Wee describe that status. Whether they are friend or foe, nicknames are given to show and shower attention to detail or affection. They are often given to lovers, family and close friends. While it is fun recognize each other in a different manner, there are some people that chose to stay out of the game. Just like in every segment the world has to offer, there are rules of do, and don’t.

1) Making Nicknames

When you make a nickname for someone, you have two choices. You could either use your imagination to create one, or log on the computer and find a nickname generator online. It is much more personal however if you make your own, instead of letting a machine do all the work. Most of the common nicknames come naturally. They usually come from the original name of a person, and they edit it so it would be shorter and easier to remember. Those kinds of nicknames are common sense. Female nicknames usually end in a vowel, while males end with the rest of the letters. Both can contain the letter Y.

Several examples are:

Christiana = Ana = Any

Edwin = Ed = Eddy

Enrique = Rick = Ricky

Candice = Candy

Dustin = Dusty

Regular pet names for one another are a little different. They are cutsies calls that often repeat a certain part of a name for one another and often shortened to have a child-sounding, admiring affect, usually associated with lovers or friends. If you know a different language, or a movie, and a name could fit into it, go ahead and combine those two together. It is sweet since it required a bit of thinking putting those together, if not, a bit humorous depending on the word.

Here are a few examples:

Michael = Mike Mike = Micah

Tabitha = Tabbycat = Tabsters = Bit Bit

Timothy = Tim Tim = Timu

Rachel = Ray Ray = Chelsea

Thomas = Thumper (Movie: Bambi) = Thomas O’Malley (Movie: Aristocats)

Ana = Amor (Spanish: Love)

Regular nicknames and regular pet names are nice, but if you want to make a nickname more meaningful, then you would definitely have to dig a deeper approach. Calling a person Sugar-Top, Baby Cake, among other types of food, beverages, or animals, usually doesn’t work unless it matches a person’s personality and how they look. If a person is a jerk who loves to trip people for his or her own humor and get into fights, I’m pretty sure the nickname Sweetheart, wouldn’t match it up. Nicknames could also go to the extreme, expecting one thing and getting the other.

Example:

Large, tall, muscular person = Tiny (one of those polar Extremities nicknames)

Sexy, sweet, well-rounded, logical = Baby cake

Youthful, sweet, willing to help others out = Muffin Top

Friendly, huggable and nice = Teddy Bear

Smart, crafty, sneaky, sexy = Foxy

Loner, strong, swift = Coyote

You get the idea. Basically, once you know a person and have an idea about them, you could give them a meaningful nickname that describes how they are. Feel free to use your imagination and do the works to match and pair up ideas. Combine words and names together, and you could come out with nicknames such as Gar-bear (Garrett, a friend who is like a teddy bear). Making up nicknames are fun, but if you refuse to make up a nickname and you just want one without the works, then proceed to the next step ahead.

2) Nickname Generators

Ah, the classical fun of nickname generators. You can find those all over the internet. Just log on to any computer, go to Google or any other search engine, and type up nicknames, or nickname generator. If you want to be specific, then type in what you like, such as pet names, or cute nicknames. A bunch of links will pop up, and then you could just click and go. Here’s an important note. If a website tells you that the nicknames they come up with are for fun and games, keep it like that instead of calling each other that nickname. I’m certain that your buddy wouldn’t like to be called, Red Hot Lips. Especially if he’s a guy.

3) Some People Do Not like Nicknames

Nicknames are fun and all, but there are some people who does not find fancy on being called differently than by what their name is. Some people think that although there is nothing wrong with nicknames, there is not really a point to having a name if you’re just going to be called something or someone else. It may be against their philosophy, or it may interfere with their definition of who they are. It may also remind them of a bad point of their life (think relationship wise). If a person does not want to use nicknames, then don’t give them one.

4) A Time to Use/Not Use Nicknames

Here come the rules of nicknames. Oh boy. When you are at work or at a place that demands maturity, nicknames have to be thrown out the window. As there are times in the season, there are times when it is appropriate to use nicknames. They could be used in a social setting, especially around when hanging with close friends and family. If it is a party, you could use nicknames if you wish. However, at work, with other people that you do not know, and public places, where people can overhear you, may not be the best time to use such names. Use your judgment and your gut. They are usually right to tell you whether you should call a person something, or not.

5) The Use of Nicknames

What’s the point of nicknames? As stated in the first paragraph of this article, nicknames are used to shower attention or affection on people, whether it is friend or foe. It is also good fun to give each other names that we can gradually get comfortable with, and have a deeper insight of what our names could possibly mean or be. It’s a way to make a person smile at being recognized differently than their name, and also gives a sense of some importance. A nickname is just a nickname, but as said. It gives attention and difference.

6) What to Avoid

When you do make nicknames, please try to avoid derogatory words, such as swear words and cuss words. It’s not really nice to hear yourself being called a swear word, especially when you turn into a label of one when you’re not. So avoid bad mouth and bad words when you do nicknames. That’s about the only thing to avoid, except to also avoid nicknames that may hurt other people! Calling a person Fatty, when they’re fat, for instance, isn’t very complimentary. Nicknames are for fun, not for destroying each other with emotionally.

Nicknames are all in respect, so use them to build one another up to a better mood and comfort. However, make sure you have fun or help others when you use them, or else they lose their value! Remember, it’s up to you whether you want to go by a different name or not. The most important note of this article, however, is that it doesn’t matter what you’re called. You’re who you are, no matter what name you have or give.

Tip of the Day #28

Go ahead and meditate. Give a bit of breathing time to yourself so you don’t feel overwhelmed or stressed out with daily life. Take ten minutes or thirty minutes out of your day if it’s possible. Hey, if time really is important, five or ten minutes wouldn’t hurt if it’s for you. When you meditate, you do not necessarily have to hum or empty your mind. Meditation is a form of relaxation, where you focus on relaxing thoughts and ideas to help you through your day. You would be surprised to see how that would change your day. Hopefully it would be enough to lower down the stress level everyone lives with!

Staying Safe Outside

This world gets dangerous day by day, so keep your eyes out. While people are progressively becoming more deadly, you find yourself in a possible situation where you either have to fight to survive or end up dying. It would be best to frankly, avoid that possible encounter all together. Here are some relatively helpful tips to help survival from the daily and nightly threat of other people and of being alone.

1) Go in Pairs

When you go out with a friend, it lowers a chance of abduction. Two heads are better than one, and certainly provide a better fight than one alone. Try to go out with someone when you do go out, because not only does it give better company, but a higher rate of safety. Of course, make sure that someone you go out with is someone you know! Grocery shops, malls, or just out to the nearby 7-11 has a risk of some sort, whether it is large or small. If two girls walk together, that wards off any attacker since there is a greater risk of him or her to be identified or caught.

2) Keep Eyes Out

When you walk either downtown or to a neighbor’s house, keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary. If you see someone that seems suspicious, or a person following you, it’s time to set your stance to either flight or fight mode. However, just keep your eyes peeled. If a road seems bad, such as writing everywhere in the streets, you know to avoid that path. Use your eyes! You have them for a reason. Don’t forget to use your ears as well, to hear anything that may cause danger.

3) Improvise

Before setting your foot back out in the parking lot, make sure that you get your keys or whatever you need out, already out. It would be a good idea to use keys as a possible weapon, holding them in your fist while the keys poke out from one of the spaces in between your finger. Only use when necessary, of course! Pepper spray is also a good weapon to use if need be, but anything could be used as a weapon. A pencil could be deadly if you know how to use it, for example. You could stab someone’s eye out! I’m not saying attack people, but keep that in mind when you’re out that anything can be transformed to a weapon.

4) Stay Focused

You shouldn’t need to fumble around in your purse outside, where you could easily be captured if your attention is diverted. Although talking on the cell phone is nice and texting is fun when you are walking and you have nothing else to do while going from one destination to another, stay focused, and put that phone away. Anything could happen at any moment, and even if someone calls or texts, put it on hold unless it’s an emergency. Little distractions like that could ultimately make you not notice someone sneaking up behind you, or even a car about to run you over. Stay focused! This world isn’t as pretty as a phone.

5) Travel Safely

All right, yes when you travel you got to look over and make sure that you’re safe. Make sure that you always travel where the public is. Do not take alley-ways or streets that are void of people because that’s where trouble often starts. Going to a place where there are lacks of people means there are less people to see what may happen to you. It gives an attacker a better opportunity to do what he or she wants to do with you, and you rather not go into that sort of danger. Your gut would usually tell you if it’s safe to go down a road, so listen to it. If your gut says avoid, steer out of the way!

6) Lock Down

Car, or home, or even your personal, keep it at a lock down. When you are driving, make sure that all doors are secure, even the back and trunk. You rather not have stole-aways, or someone that wants to pry your doors open and hurt you. Same rule applies to your home, especially if you do not live in gated community. Better safe than sorry. When you are out, make sure that no money pokes out of your pocket, or any identification. Keep them somewhere deep on you that they would not be in the open. Your purse applies as well. Do not hold your purse flim-flamsy. Hold it against your shoulder and tight so that no one could slip it off from you with ease. Keep everything tight up!

7) Don’t be a beacon

Sorry girls, I hate to break it to you, but dresses and skirts give easier access to rape, unless you’re wearing shorts beneath it. I am not saying that you should stop wearing them. In fact, I’m a skirt-wearer myself. However, you may not want to become a flaming beacon for rapists and other people by wearing super showy clothes, such as a super mini-skirt and a size-too-small shirt. Men, you are not excluded; some females also rape. Try not to be such a show-off with those muscles, such as keeping your shirt open and exposing your chest. Being a beacon might be saying you’re prideful of your body, but it also is an alarm for people to isolate you as a target.

8) Get Your Own

Hospitality is nice, but sometimes suspicion could be raised from it. If a person offers you a drink, whether you know them or not, or some kind of food, don’t take it. Go and get your own. You can move around and manage to get your own needs and wants. When you’re outside, keep your guard up, because you never know when someone may want to drug you and take you out. You don’t have to be rude to say no, you just have to tell them you’re not in the mood for it. If they complain, let them. Don’t feel bad for saying no. You’re just protecting yourself.

9) No Temptation

For guy or girl, don’t let temptation or your heart get in the way of your safety. If someone offers you sex or anything, don’t go into it because they could lie about having an STD. Also, if someone is selling an item from a truck, remember what your parents told you. Don’t accept candies or toys from strangers, especially if it’s from a truck. If it’s an ice cream truck, of course it’s safe. Otherwise, don’t go and buy items that you are not familiar with from a person or a stranger. It could be that the person may have been a thief and stolen that item for their benefit. If you buy it, what’s going to happen? So stay out from temptation.

I am not saying that you should think everyone is after you, because most of the people of this world have their own business to take care off. However, there are those people who have nothing better to do or wish to do nothing else but to terrorize, molest, or bother other citizens. The word here is to simply stay on guard and avoid any possible conflictions. Better to have peace, than trouble!

Ladies/Gentlemen

Cliché? Maybe. But then again, there are times that a person just feels like they got to dress up and act like a proper lady or a respectful gentleman. That may be before arriving for a date, meeting a family, or going to a special party. So, how exactly do you turn into your current stance no, into a gentle-person? Whether you might transform to impress a certain guy or gal, or to uphold yourself more respect, here’s a few tips to learn how to become on of the gentle people!

First attention that should come in mind is, bada bing, bada boom. Clothes. Not much of a shocker, is it? When you choose out clothes, especially for a formal event, wear something modest and sexy. That means, women, do not go out wearing a super mini skirt that shows your butt every time you bend over or sit down. Instead, wear a skirt that goes up to mid-thighs. If you choose to wear a shirt or a dress, the same rule applies for the chest. If it shows too much, try to cover it up, unless that’s just impossible.

It can be open shoulder, though. Same rules apply! Sexily modest and simple. Oh, yea, no jeans when formal. Men, slacks and no jeans. I know it’s hard to do without the jeans, but it’s time to cut them loose and try a different pair of pants on. It is best not to be baggy when you dress formal, and keep your appearance clean. Also keep in mind to have your clothes ironed to look neat and tidy. Also, if you are a guy, it would be a must to wear a tie.

Now the next idea that should be upheld is how to sit! Females, make sure that your back is straight and that you never slump, and that your legs are always closed. Let it be crossed, knees together, make sure that they are closed at all times. Males, don’t slam your legs wide open and slump back. Make sure that you keep yourself closed as well, arms next to your body. Don’t’ do what males usually do; spread everything wide open! For both, watch your posture when you walk. Keep it straight and balance. For better effects, pretend that there is a book on your head at all times. Just keep your sitting to be simple and again, modest.

Oh boy, here are the manners. Formal gentleman, you know the rules. Hold the door open for the lady, and ease them into their seat. Both should know to watch their language, and also to act in a professional matter. Of course, don’t be too boring! Bring in some topics to talk about, and ask questions. If one of you feels uncomfortable about a subject, go ahead and speak it out, but try to stay away from such subjects. Oh, right. Don’t forget what your mom has taught you. No elbows on the table, and please say your please and thank you.

Here are some extra tips!

Put up a smile, and try to stay in season. Wear perfume or cologne that matches the season if you can to make yourself seem more appealing. For example, wear light perfumes during warm weather, and fresh scents for hotter weather. For spring and summer, choose light floral and citrus scents. Light spices/cinnamon for fall is nice, spices for a cooler weather, and heavy scents during the winter such as musk or oriental notes.

If you rather choose other scents for personal reasons, feel free to do so!

Remember, being a lady or a gentleman might be difficult, but it helps hold in the self-esteem of pride in oneself. Whether it is for a special occasion or just for your own benefit, being properly mannered is a way to make yourself distinct in this world. So here are a few helpful tips to get started on your way, and hopefully the trade mark of mannerism would stay!

Consoling a Raped Friend

Let’s face it. Our world is a disaster. Everywhere we turn; there is a bad event or a condition that is out of our control. Cancer, sickness, ailment, mental issues, and low self-esteem rides on every corner we travel. Other people also majorly affect us, be it friend or foe. However, some of us are the victims of a mishap. A person gets killed everyday. A person gets hurt everyday. A person also gets raped every day. If you have a friend who was raped, it would be best to console them and help them out from their devastating experience. How? Read on.

1) Remain Calm

Perhaps the worst action you could do is to panic. Seeing you calm is a good remedy to help the raped know that they are in safe hands and that you would help them out during their traumatic period. It is the best action possible at this point because it gives you a relatively clear head to think things through, instead of flinging straight into frenzy. Actions and emotions are contagious! If you go off the line, so would your raped buddy. We don’t need panic attacks to make this experience worse! So for their sake and yours, remain calm.

2) Safety

Find a place to go where it is safe. If a situation like this happens in the open, make sure that you bring your friend where she or he would feel safe. Going to your home may be best, and calling a local police station would be adviserary. While you do those actions, try to make sure it is safe for both you and the victim. Stay out of harms way and call some local rape hotlines in order to ask what is best to do. More importantly, keep an eye out on the victim to make sure he or she won’t hurt themselves, or you.

3) Have Assurance

After being raped, a person’s self esteem goes on the low. Make sure that you assure and help them. Always answer truthfully, and if you do not know the answer, tell them that you don’t. Most importantly, remind them that you care, and make sure that your answers reflect that you care. Sometimes victims will try to blame themselves instead of blaming the rapist, and have a feeling that you may think less of him or her. They may also be concerned about other people, but keep reassuring them the best of your ability.

4) Encourage Medical Attention (24 Hour Rule)

Sometimes the harm of being raped can’t be seen. Evidence of being raped can be wiped out as easily as taking a bath. Although your friend might feel dirty, don’t do that! Encourage them to go get medical attention as proof that they were raped. Semen or other reproductive touches can be washed off easily, and may be destroyed by the body’s regulation system within twenty four hours. Even if it has been a week since the incident, go to the hospital. It would also do good for the victim, just in case they have other physical damage that could not be fully healed by the usual at home treatment.

5) Listen to Their Story

The number one fear that most rape victims have is the fear of unbelief. Listen to their story and what they have to say. Although it might hurt hearing them say their story, you have to let them release what has happened. If they cannot talk it out, which may be difficult to do, go ahead and give them a journal or a tape recorder so they could let out the details and stress. They have to let it out one way or another, or else they would never be fully healed. Although they do have to let it go, it is bad if you keep prying for facts. It may do more harm then heal if you keep prying.

6) Accept Their Opinion/Don’t Judge

After a terrible event, the victim may want to choose to prosecute the one who did them wrong. Respect their opinion, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should convince them otherwise if you do not agree with them. If they believe that the world stinks and all is at a loss, go ahead and let them think that. However, the worse you could do to a friend is to judge them for what they think and what has happened. They came out alive, so they know what it takes to come out surviving. You haven’t been there.

7) Be There

Make sure that you are there for them. Even after everything has calmed down, it would show that you would care if you visit and drop by once in a while to check up on them. Keep eye contact to show that you are paying attention, and remind them that they are there for you. As a friend, they confine in you and tell you what they are comfortable with. If you are worried, go and suggest talking to someone else about it to your friend. If it is okay with your friend to share, then go together to talk it out with that other person.

8) It Isn’t Their Fault

No matter what happens, do not tell them that it is their fault they have been raped. If they have been with someone alone, that is because they have trusted them. Trusting isn’t wrong, but that trust has been in violation. Remind them that it isn’t their fault at all, and that it was the other person who has been in the wrong. Don’t blame the victim. After all, no one asked to be raped.

9) Find Support

For Him/Her

Your friend has been through a terrible time, and it’s time that they find somewhere to lean on. You are a great branch to lean upon, but it may require the help of others, along with father time, to help them back on their feet. After talking to them and asking for offers to seek out attention, be persuasive but not pushy. Ask them if they would like support and go for it if they say yes. After all, the more support, the easier it may be to stand.

For You

You might be trying to help them out, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be stressed out as well. Finding out a friend has been raped is a hard experience to be in, so it may take support to help you as well. Go and find a counselor to talk to, because they may give you ideas of how to help yourself and your friend who has been a victim. Support centers may also be useful because quite a few of them offer assistants for those with a victim of being raped. Remember! You have to take care of yourself before taking care of others.

Discomfort with an Ex

When we’re young or old, everyone must have had some experience regarding a person called an Ex. An Ex-husband, and ex-wife, an ex-boyfriend, an ex-girlfriend, an ex-friend, you name it. If there is some discomfort between any possible ex, here are a few tips to get you started on what to do. If you want to end the discomfort, there are several options available to either keep or push away such a person.

1) Your Ex…

A) Boy/Girlfriend

Oh boy, so you might have remained friends after the break up, if that is possible. However, as of late there has been some discomfort between you and he, or she. If you feel like something is amiss, try to leave them alone for a while. Time may help mend the discomfort between the ‘friendly’ relationships you both are trying to maintain. Simply give each other space and try to talk again in a few days. If there is still discomfort, try again in a few weeks, etc. Most of the time, it is best to cut off all contact with your ex, although it may hurt. Usually they only cause trouble!

If you tried to give them time, or even stop talking to them all together, and it doesn’t work with the discomfort, there are other ways to mend this while keeping him or her as a buddy. Try to be distant from them but remain in contact. Try not to answer the phone every time the other calls, but instead let a day or two pass before calling back, or messaging back, or etc. If you feel uncomfortable in any given situation, the best option is to get out until it’s safe to go back.

B) Best Friend

All right, so you had a best friend who is no longer your best friend. Therefore, we call that person an ex-best friend. So what is he or she doing still around? While you are uncomfortable with them, you got to respect them .Soon enough the time will come that you and her or him would have to split, let it be whether one of you moves, end school, and carry on with your lives. If you do not care too much about your ex best friend, but still regard them as a close friend, simply let time take its course. Again, ex best friends are like ex boy or ex girlfriends. Time will heal the discomfort, and if it doesn’t, it’s time to boot out.

2) Parent’s Ex…

A) Spouse/Girl/Boyfriend

If you are uncomfortable with your parent’s ex spouse, don’t be afraid to talk about it. If they visit you and you rather not see them for good reason, such as if they swear too much around you and treat you badly, then go ahead and tell someone about it. Try to find shelter away from them and talk to the parent you are with about it. If you don’t like the parent you are with and like the other, than do the same. Tell the other parent that you do not like your parent for a good reason. If you cannot find a good reason why you are not comfortable around a person, talk to them.

The rules are the same for the ex girlfriend or boyfriend of your parent. If you do not like them, talk it out to a family member. If the family member doesn’t listen, and you have been abused, such as being beaten up or verbally abused, go report it. There are places you can go online or schools that have programs that allow you to tell problems off. If worse comes to worse, try to find someone to spend the time with to make sure you avoid the person you do not like.

3) Child’s Ex…

Ugh, all right, so you’re a parent and your child is at that age where she/ he gone and had a boy/girlfriend. Then they broked up. However, under some strange circumstances you continue to see your child and that ex communicate, and you are uncomfortable with it. Talk to your child about it and explain how you feel. However, do not force it. Tell them that you rather not have them talk to the ex, if it can be helped, but do not tell them to stop or else they are grounded. Threats are not useful in this kind of situation.

If the child’s ex speaks to you as an adult, you may listen to them and understand their situation. However, you were their age once, so you should know what their motive is and what is in their thoughts. If you do not like it, then go ahead and tell them that they are not allowed in their house, if they ask. If your child wants to bring them in, remember that this is not their house. It is your home.

If your child is at the age of marriage, and the lover becomes and ex-spouse, and you feel uncomfortable around him or her, remember to show them respect, but also keep it real. Act the way you would. If you are very uncomfortable at the thought of him or speaking to your child, go talk to your child about it (again) and perhaps even create a restraining order if it is a good idea for both you and your child. If she or he still lives with her, go ahead and take your child back in your house for a while so she or he can have a comfort away from that ex-spouse, and out of danger.

4) Friend’s Ex…

All right, if your friend has a girlfriend or a boyfriend, and they broked up and you feel uncomfortable, it is important to simply stay away, unless they drastically need your help. If they push your help however, get out of the situation. If you were friends with that ex, before they started dating, give yourself time away before speaking to the ex again. If your friends stop being best friends with their friends, and become ex-best friends, don’t worry about it. It is not important to focus on such a situation because it does not involve you.

If your friends are fighting because they are ex-best friends over you, don’t choose sides because you do not want to lose one or the other. Overall, speak to one another with respect. Respect is always a major key.

Overall, there are many different types of exes, and most of the discomfort between them can be healed with time or by getting rid of them in your life. While both options may seem like you are running away, you are simply only doing what is best for yourself in this case. Remember! Time may help lessen the tension between you an ex before speaking again. If that is impossible, then maybe it is best to stop talking to them all together. While friends can be friends, an ex in all matters is different. If there is trouble, do not be afraid to speak about it to other people. Most of all, strive away from the discomfort, and aim for the best in life!

Should You Settle

Let’s face it, world. Not everyone is serious in relationships. Our current generation tends to have ‘love-hoppers.’ Love hoppers are people who quickly transit from one lover to the next in a short amount of time without taking their relationship seriously or settling down. A person who is a love hopper does not always stay that way. The decision to settle may enter their mind. However, it depends if that person is ready to settle. If you want to start searching for someone to spend the rest of your life with, then make sure that you are ready!

1) Questions

The first obvious question to figuring out whether you should settle or not is, “Am I ready?”

It may take time to be sure that you want to settle down, so be sure to have some self-reflection. Ask yourselves questions that deal with basic relationship, such as:

Am I loyal?

Am I willing not to flirt with the other gender?

Is my current/future boyfriend/girlfriend willing to settle with me?

Are there ways I can minimize risk to cheat? Am I willing?

Do I treat my boyfriend/girlfriend right?

Do they treat me right?

Am I committed?

Those are several basics that will help take a deeper insight of who you are, but you have to answer them truthfully. You may also come up with other questions or search for relationship questions online to acknowledge what may happen if you do settle.

2) Identify the needs and wants for both sides

When you settle or not, it is important that you understand your significant other. The number of kids, where they want to live, and other factors will be essential because they will determine if you both will get, or do not get, what both wants. When you settle, you have to be considerate of the other person’s needs. Once you both understand and get along, knowing information about each other, it makes it easier to establish a decision whether you want to be with that person for life, or not.

3) Consider

Settling down is not as easy as people make it look. Some marriages or settlements end in break ups because one or the other was not ready to take that level in a relationship. Figuring out whether you should settle or not determines on your personality, characteristics, and decisions. If you do not believe you are ready, do not enforce yourself. It is ultimately your decision and consideration to believe and know that you want to settle or not.

Remember, you shouldn’t be influenced by others who tell you that you should or shouldn’t settle. Although it is understandable to listen to them, it is you that knows what is best for yourself. Settling might not be for everyone, and life is taken in different directions by different people. Be true to your own nature, and be sure you listen to the beating of your drum.

Here is an interesting insight. Have you ever heard of dating while being married? Well, that’s what pineapple relationships are about. While some people consider it cheating, other people consider it a type of normal. Arguments about pineapple relationships are common, as one side considers it unmoral and the other to be accepting.

Dating relationships to marriage has both wife and husband acknowledging that the other partner is having sex or dating another person out of the relationship. Now, while some people may consider them, it is best to speak to your partner about your view about pineapple branching, if you will, before getting married.

If you are already married and consider about the pineapple relationship with your spouse, symbolically it’s a good idea to put a pineapple in the open, so that other people with pineapple relationships would see that, and could bring it up without feeling awkward.

Now while in a pineapple relationship, it is best to consider this. The spouse may become jealous, or perhaps the others you are pineapple-ling with somehow fall in love with the other couple.

Having a pineapple relationship is not recommended for some people, but ultimately it is up to you to decide what you want to do. Just use logic. For people who do want to do this sort of activity, then they should at least be an older couple; younger couples tend to be busier and have less time.

Remember, your spouse has to agree with it. It is just an idea. There are websites online you could find for other couples that do pineapple relationships, though I will not mention them in this article for I lack knowledge of what they are called.

Remember, take consideration about if you do it and who you speak to about it; some people find it hard to accept.
