How many times have you asked your partner to put the cap on the toothpaste? Or put his dirty clothes in the laundry basket instead of on the floor? When our requests get blown off, we are often left with feelings frustrations that slowly push us to our wits' end. Before you jump to the conclusion that your partner doesn't care, is insensitive or is just plain lazy, give the following techniques a try!
Over the years, I've read many of the popular books on dating. I've read books that teach women the rules, why I should be a bitch, and how to be married in 365 days. (Really? Should that be my goal?) Books that teach me how to send a flirty text (I don't know what revolutionary ideas I thought I'd find there), how to think and date like a man, and books telling me why I'm still single. I found some tips to be valuable, and I incorporated what I learned into my dating life. But I wasn't any happier with how things were going.
The second week of October is National Pet Peeve Week, and the folks at dating site Zoosk have surveyed their subscribers to see how little annoyances affect their dating life.

I know they mean well, but doggone, they can say some foolish stuff. I try to take that into consideration whenever I have a conversation about being single.
If your partner calls you "pookie," beware: a new book claims that mushy pet names actually indicate relationship problems. In Stop Calling Him Honey and Start Having Sex, authors Maggie Arana and Julienne Davis elaborate on a number of couple habits that ruin relationships by eroding sexual attraction. Besides the use of cute nicknames, these practices include sharing hygiene habits and having sex on the kitchen table to revive an interest in sex itself.
You love that sweet, sweet girl of yours. You really do. But, sometimes, you wonder how it is that you've made it this far without going off the deep end.
