8 Signs That You Are Losing It Over A Break-Up..
I don’t know if it is the stress of economic issues or just the end of summer
but it seems like so many people in my practice and personal life are
going through the pain and agony of a relationship break-up.
Ugh….nothing is worse than that…not even the stomach flu.
This is what can happen when you let a
relationship problem get the best of you.
1. Leaving the radio off because every song makes
you cry
2. Loss of appetite
3. Binge eating for comfort
4. Calling, texting or emailing
5. Constantly checking your email and voice mail
to see if they called
6. Not making plans with your friends or family
7. Thinking non-stop about why ex REALLY left you
or what you could say to make them change their mind
8. Feeling urges to spy on them via drive-bys, Facebook, etc.
But that’s not all!
And, it can get worse than this!
When you do get a hold of them, it usually
turns ugly because without a clear plan of what
you are supposed to do -what happens? P-A-N-I-C…
defensiveness…arguments…and then it gets really
ugly/pathetic.
-We try to convince them we are the love of their life.
-We will apologize profusely for everything.
-Promise to change for good this time.
-Try to get them to see that it wasn’t really our fault.
- Beg them to take us back!
Wow! Nothing is less attractive than needy, desperate and insane!
The only person you will attract to you with neediness is someone really insecure.
Most people will, with every word we
utter, regardless of our intention, become more and more
defensive, angry and distant.
Please know…this is not your fault! You weren’t taught
this in school. You probably weren’t taught this by
your parents…and there is no “How to Live through a
school…
And it is really a shame too because what could
be more important than learning about love and relationships?

Men You Must Read This…If your single/recently divorced..
7 DATING TIPS FOR RECENTLY DIVORCED/SINGLE MEN
It is common to hear women rag about men and how clueless they are about dating and dating etiquette. But truth be told, they are at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to jumping back into the dating scene after a long hiatus (aka being married!). To begin with, we women have loads of articles in magazines geared toward dating, how to “get” a man, how to “keep” a man, how to “turn a man on”, etc. etc. Ever since we were old enough to read Seventeen Magazine, we have been devouring articles about boys/men and dating.
Not so with men. So, in the interest of fair play and better dating for all, we Broads will start doing shows/blogs to help you guys out. Use this info for good….not evil!!
1. BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER GOING ON A DATE…..get a woman you are close with and will give you the hard truth. Think friend, sister, Aunt. Probably not your Mom, who thinks you are perfect the way you are. Invite that woman over to your abode and get her to go through your wardrobe with you. If you have stopped being that concerned with your weekend wardrobe and the last time you went shopping for dating cloths was back during the disco era, you will most likely need to go shopping. Here is what to look for in a nutshell…….COOL JEANS!! Your friend will be able to point you in the right direction and tell you if your butt looks good in them. Next on your list…..stylish button down shirt which you will wear…UNTUCKED!! This is not only fashionable but good for those of you who are trying to hide a few pounds. And then, shoes!! I know, I know…….you don’t understand or care about shoes. We do. What can I tell you. Get at least 2 pair that you can wear out on a date. NO NOT GYM SHOES!!!
The next thing you need to do before entering the dating pool is MANSCAPE!! We have been waxing, plucking, shaving, etc for years. Welcome to the party! Just say “no” to hair in your ears, nose or back of your neck. For when dates become a bit more intimate….I think I can speak for all women when I say….WE DO NOT LIKE BACK HAIR! Some women may not mind it……but no one is jumping up and down, calling all there friends and bragging about how great your back hair is. Get rid of it!! And the “fun zone”…the “action area”….what can I say? If you haven’t got the memo….shave or at the VERY least trim that area!! Seriously!! I mean it. If you want us to “visit” you need to tidy up!!
2. Tell everyone you know that you are open to start dating!! You may
need to join a dating site at first. If you have spruced up your look and are gainfully employed, your friends will probably have women to fix you up with.
3. Once you get the name and number…..CALL!! We were probably given a heads-up and are waiting for your call. Don’t snooze…you may lose! And do call her back if you get voicemail. Do not text or email!!
4. Be a MAN WITH A PLAN!! Asking a woman out is part one. Having a plan for the date is part two. DO NOT ask us what we want to do. Sure,,,,it seems nice. BUT, we are chicks. We make plans all the time. It is such a pleasure when a man has a new restaurant in mind or tickets for a concert or play. Just so long as we don’t have to plan it….we are thrilled. Remember, the woman you are asking on a date is not you wife!! No doubt you are use to your ex-wife making social plans. Well…..in the early stages of dating….ball is in your court!
5. Do not pressure her for sex!! I do not care what your buddies might have told you about the 3rd or 4th or 5th date. If you click and things just happen then you are lucky. But if the woman you are out with is reasonably attractive, she has guys putting the moves on her a lot! Stand out from the crowd in a good way and practice restraint. Kissing, hand holding, hugging….all good. Going to rip off her cloths and then pouting when she says “no”…..bad.
6. In this day and age, women might want to drive themselves to the first or second date. If you still want to appear chivalrous, ask her to call you once she gets home safely at the end of your date. We like that. It is a nice touch.
7. A genuine compliment is always nice. Provided it isn’t vulgar or rude. I was on a first date where the guy told me, “You have nice cleavage.”! Not a great compliment on a first date!! Here is a great tip. If you think you may like this woman and happen to like her perfume….compliment it and ask what it is. THEN REMEMBER IT!! If there should be more dates with her in the future…a wonderful first present would be that perfume, or same scent in a body lotion. Shows you are not only generous but thoughtful!! We LOVE that!

Product Review Frownies
The twobroadscasting.com decided to give Hollywood’s Beauty Secret a try. Since we are all on a budget but still want to look good, why not try a product that cost less that 14 cents a night. Beth has never had any work done, and can’t wait to retry Frownies “Frownies On..Frown Lines Gone” This time she will try for the full 30 days and see what happens.
