Commitment is a prerequisite for any relationship to survive, but contrary to popular belief, a study reveals that 'don't be too committed in romantic relationships or it might boomerang, leaving you depressed, anxious and fretful.' When either or both of partners place too much emotional weightage on their relationship, they tend to evaluate their self-worth solely based on the outcome of their romantic interaction. Too much of commitment often triggers depression and anxiety, leading to miscommunication and frequent spats over trivial issuses. While couples in a relationship naturally expect commitment to form the base for their future love affair, it may prove to be counter productive for them. Is it good to be completely committed to your partner? Can being overtly committed hit you back at times? Does too much commitment sing the deathknell for a steady affair?
Everyone likes gifts from someone special. Not to mention, gifts are an expression of love, but isn’t it rather materialistic a way to tell your partner you care. Or is it a convenient/easy way to express feelings. How important are gifts in creating a bond of love, or even sustaining it?
How many times have we all have peered inside fancy cars to see who is behind the wheel. Very rarely do we see a nice looking face looking back at us. We joke among ourselves ‘oh he looks like a driver’ and are pleasantly surprised to see a looker and, then, feel he is there rightly so! Whether it is a CEO in a high profile job, a rich man’s wife or child – we expect the people in power to be exceptionally good looking as well. Why do we think so? Is it our inherent conditioning? Can money buy everything? Give us your views…
Relationships are complex. And it can't get more complex than being in love with two people at one time. A Catch 22 situation? Well, in matters of the heart you can never be sure. Question is: is it really possible for an individual to fall in love with two people at the same time? Even if it is possible, is it ethically correct? Or do you think that moral policing should be kept away from such liaisons?
As more and more mothers begin to explore the world outside their homes, fathers are becoming extra caring and concerned in matters more than just finances. There's also a growing cult of single dads who are going all out to be there for their lil ones. Take the case of actor Rahul Bose who is happy playing mom and dad to the four kids that he has recently adopted. More involved, more emotionally driven and fun to be with - are dads are the new age moms? Do you agree?
Your eyes sweep the room and rest on a figure that is looking right back at you.
Your eyes meet briefly and you skip a heartbeat. There's something about him or her, although you can't quite figure out what, which makes you believe that soul mates really exist.
Is it love at first sight or is it lust at first thought? People swoon at the idea of falling instantly into love, and it's not difficult to observe where these ideals come from - fairytales,romantic movies and, of course, numerous romance novels.
But does such a thing really exist? Is it just a fantasy that we want to live or is it the real thing?
Relationships rarely see mutual breakups. One person is usually the heartbreaker, while the other mulls over the breakup and pain for weeks, even months. Quite often, the person who does the breaking up feels like less of a bad person by offering that sense of truce: "It's not you, it's me. We'll still be friends, right?" Sometimes while parting ways couples feel the need to promise to stay friends - but doesn't that ultimately lead to more broken promises? The thought of never seeing or speaking to your loved one again is scary and that's why so many of us think that such platonic relationships might be better than losing someone entirely. But, is it actually possible to go back to being just friends? Is it even worth remaining friends? Or is it better to make a clean break?
What if someone pops the question: Are you single or when are you getting married? Well, it depends! Some might just get very excited and say 'yeah very soon' (and blush), whereas others who enjoy their freedom would declare.
'I am making the most of being single, so no plans to mingle yet.' With Gen X moving at a faster pace than ever before, sometimes being single and professionally successful holds more importance that getting entangled in personal relations.
Increasingly, urban singles are living life to the fullest on their own terms. Does this mean being single can let you enjoy your life to the fullest, which may not be the case after marriage? Do urban singles prefer living on their own terms for long, as they fear the compromises that come along with commitment?
Surrounded by friends and enjoying a hectic social life - is singlehood the best phase of everyone's life?
He didn't mind cheating on you, when you were away. She bed-hopped with another man despite you being head over heals in love with her. What should you do? Put an end to the relationship you've nurtured with all your emotions and move ahead or do you think you can give your infidel partner another chance to mend his/her errant way? Do you think they deserve a second chance? Or do you feel that a relationship that both of you cherished at one point doesn't deserve a dead-end like this? Do you walk out or talk it out with your cheating better half?
Wondering, as usual.....it works, we should give a chance coz we are here to find someone special with no Internet at the time and expensive phone calls is impossible [Today it is possible] after detail knowledge of each other we can hoop up .Love is divine Nowadays Technology helps alot!
