How To Get Over Your Ex As Quickly As Possible

asdnmaipn - November 9, 2017

Here's How To Get Over Your Ex As Fast As Possible Here's How To Get Over Your Ex As Fast As Possible

Anyone who has ever been through a break-up knows that one of the hardest things in the world can be to get over an ex. You know the relationship is over, yet you just can’t shake it. Every time you think you’re doing better, finally moving on, something happens to undo all the progress you’ve made. If this sounds like you, here are some things you can do to get over your ex fast:

  1. Identify your anchors. Anchors are what keep us tied to our exes. Like shaking a bad habit, there are things we don’t realize trigger us until we try to quit. With an ex, it could be something as simple as hearing a song you’d bonded over or a place the two of you often went. These anchors make you associate them with your ex, reminding you of them, causing you pain. And they make it harder for you to get over your ex.
  2. Break the association with anchors. If you grow to associate two things together, it feels odd when you’re presented with just one of those two things. For example, a restaurant you and your ex always went to together will feel empty if you go without them. In order to truly move on, you need to face these associations without thinking of your ex. Instead of reliving the memories the two of you shared over these anchors, try not to think about your ex. If you must, think of their negative aspects. This way, instead of day-dreaming about your ex and missing them, you’ll begin to like them less and less. Next time you’re at that restaurant, think of the annoying way they used to chew, for example.
  3. Take a break. Instead of subjecting yourself to that same special song over and over, or nightly dinners at that restaurant, take a break. Many of us simply think about anything and everything related to an ex after a break-up. Don’t do this. Give yourself a break, or you’ll never get over your ex. Push thoughts of your ex out of your mind, and over time it will get easier. But time won’t help if you go on day-dreaming.
  4. Don’t indulge the heartache. It’s tempting to suppress feelings for your ex altogether after a break-up, but it doesn’t help. Neither does focusing on those feelings repeatedly. Don’t rub salt in your wounds, or wallow in how bad you feel. While experiencing these emotions is normal, if you continue to indulge them, you’re actually clinging to your ex instead of letting go. It embeds them in your heart, making it difficult to uproot them later.
  5. Feel the emotions, then release. It hurts, and you’re allowed to feel that. But if you lift the anchors, stop the day dreams, and try to move beyond the pain, things will improve. These emotions will fade away, like a movie seen long ago, if you don’t keep thinking about it. If you keep thinking about it, you feed it, prolonging its life. The best time to move on is right now. Your life is waiting!

This Is What You Need To Do If Your Ex Won’t Let Go

asdnmaipn - November 7, 2017

Here's What To Do When An Ex Won't Let Go Here's What To Do When An Ex Won't Let Go

Divorces and break-ups are always difficult experiences to endure. It’s hard enough to reach the decision to end things, but it can be even harder to fully break ties even after the divorce. For many of us, we may do things to try to hurt an ex, or they might do the same to us. But what do you do when your ex won’t let go? It can be hard to make clear that your ex is no longer a part of your new, single life the way they once were. Here are some common situations that arise, and how to deal if your ex won’t let go.

  1. Make sure you have a place that’s fully yours. After a divorce, only one of you will receive your property. Whether it’s a house or an apartment, that now belongs only to you or your ex. Surrender keys, change locks, do whatever it takes to make sure that only one of you has free access to the place. If it’s yours, make sure your ex has all of their stuff moved out by a specific date. If their stuff is still there after that date, just send it to them (or Good Will). The only reason to leave things behind is to maintain a presence in your life, which you don’t need. It’s important that you have a personal, private space that your ex can’t show up at unannounced.
  2. Don’t engage in arguments. Many controlling people will try to sabotage their ex’s social lives, trying to prevent them from dating or enjoying free time. If your ex won’t let go, there’s a chance they’ll try this tactic. They may intentionally disrupt plans and schedules, like not picking children up from school, in an effort to maintain control over you. They may also try guilt tactics, such as implying (or outright accusing) you of caring more about dating than your children. You know the truth, though, so don’t let this type of behavior bother you. Your life is now yours, to be lived the way you want. Don’t engage in arguments, and don’t take their insults to heart. That just plays into what they want, and makes it even more likely that they’ll stay involved in your life. Remember why you ended things in the first place, and look forward to living the life you want.
  3. Don’t respond to overbearing texts or calls. Many exes may try to simply reach out to you, whether to push your buttons or embroil you in some drama, or even just to prevent you from moving on. Don’t allow this to happen. It will only make it even more difficult for you to move on if you’re still involved in a dysfunctional relationship with your ex. And if it’s more difficult to move on, these problems with your ex will only last longer. Stop this at the source, lay down ground rules for communication, or just silence their number in your phone, so it won’t disrupt your life.
  4. Date anyone you want. Plenty of exes will try to exercise control or stay in your life by giving their (often unsolicited) opinion on who you’re dating. Whether it’s because they don’t want that person around your children or some undefined reason, who you date is your business, not theirs. As long as you aren’t dating a criminal or someone dangerous to your child, this has nothing to do with your ex. As with point #2, don’t engage this type of criticism. It only shows that you’re listening to them, considering their opinion, and allowing them some control in your life. Your ex doesn’t need to love your new partner. All they have to do is move on, and leave you to live your life how you want.

Just because your ex won’t let go doesn’t mean you can’t move on. Join 50more.com for Free today to find friends, singles, and people to scare into love near you. There’s more to life, and there’s more to you.

This Is Exactly How You Shouldn’t Talk About Your Ex

asdnmaipn - November 6, 2017

How NOT To Talk About Your Ex How NOT To Talk About Your Ex

Dating again after a serious relationship has its fair share of challenges. One thing people tend to struggle with is how to talk about their ex. If you’re on a date with someone, how much should you say about your ex? While it might not come up on the first date, the question will arise eventually, so it’s important that you’re prepared. It can be tempting to take advantage of your date’s sympathetic ear and list every issue you had with your ex. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to talk about your ex. Here’s what you shouldn’t do when you talk about your ex:

  1. Don’t bash your ex. Whatever you do, don’t start hurling insults at your ex. You might be completely justified, and your ex probably is as big of a pig as you say he is. But you should not be saying this to your date. It gives the impression that you speak this way about people in general, not just your ex. Your date will be left wondering what you’ll say about them one day, if they upset you. You don’t want your date to start imagining a worst-case scenario if they, too, become your ex. So, keep it kind.
  2. Don’t play the victim. No matter what went wrong in your relationship, it’s important to not seem too self-pitying. You may have been dealt a really crummy hand, but you don’t want to seem like someone who doesn’t take responsibility. Whatever happened between you and your ex, you played some part in it. Your ex may have flown into fits of rage, but was it in response to something you did? We don’t mean to imply that anything is your fault. But you might make your date wonder what part you played in the conflict. Or worse, your date could believe that things really were that terrible, but that you didn’t have the fortitude to end things. It’s not always fair when someone judges our relationships, but it happens. Make sure you seem mature by not blaming everything entirely on your ex.
  3. Don’t emphasize the differences between your date and your ex. You might choose to go on dates with someone who is the total opposite of your ex. That makes sense. Things didn’t work out, so you want to try someone completely different. If you focus on these differences though, your dates will begin to wonder if you’re just looking for not-your ex. They’ll also begin to wonder whether you’ll appreciate them for who they are, not just what they’re not. So, while it’s totally normal and understandable to seek out someone unlike your ex, don’t stress that too much when speaking with prospective partners.
  4. Don’t talk about your ex too much. If you can’t stop talking about your ex, your dates will wonder if you’re truly over the relationship. Don’t make your dates question whether you’re over your ex. Breeze by the subject as maturely as possible, and send the message that you’re ready to welcome someone new into your life. Leave the past behind.

If you’re looking to move on, then move on. Don’t talk about your ex these ways. Join 50more.com for Free today to find friends, singles, and people to scare into love near you. There’s more to life, and there’s more to you.

Is Chivalry Dead? Here’s The One Thing Men Want Women To Do, According to Online Dating Research

asdnmaipn - November 2, 2017

Is Chivalry Dead? Here's What Online Dating Research Says Is Chivalry Dead? Here's What Online Dating Research Says

Things have changed quite a bit since we first began dating as teenagers. Do the dating roles we learned back then still apply? In order to find out, we conducted some online dating research by surveying 50more users. We set out to find out how men and women really feel about dating in 2017. Is chivalry dead? Should men always pay? Let’s take a look at what we learned from the online dating research:

Online Dating Research: America

Online Dating Research: America

The first takeaway from this research is how men feel about making the first move. Surprisingly, 90% of men prefer women making the first move. While women slightly prefer men to make the first move, many are also comfortable with women making the first move. What does this mean? Both men and women should feel comfortable pursuing those they’re interested in, and they should both be more willing to leave their comfort zones a bit more. Since both men and women want the other to make the first move, they should both try to make that first move.

The second thing we’ve learned from the online dating research is that chivalry is still alive and well. Most men and women agreed that men should open the door for women on a date. In fact, men felt slightly more strongly in favor of this than women did. 90% of men either “strongly agreed” or “somewhat agreed” when responding to the notion of a man opening a door for a woman. 85% of women responded the same way. So, make sure to open the door for your next date.

Lastly, we learned that most men want to pay for dates. 72% of men thought the man should always pay for a date, while just 44% of women agreed. Interestingly, 56% of women preferred splitting the check or having the person who initiated the date pay for it. Since women also slightly preferred men making the first move, this could just be a kinder way of saying the man should pay.

The bottom line? Chivalry is still going strong, even in 2017. The online dating research shows us that chivalry doesn’t mean much when it comes to the first move, but it means a lot in other areas. And it means a bit more to men than it does to women!

Online dating research says you should make the first move, so what are you waiting for?! Join 50more.com for Free today to find friends, singles, and people to scare into love near you. There’s more to life, and there’s more to you.

Benefits of Sex After 50: From Cancer Prevention To Looking Younger, These Are The Surprising Health Benefits of Having Sex

asdnmaipn - November 1, 2017

These Are The Surprising Health Benefits of Sex After 50 These Are The Surprising Health Benefits of Sex After 50

For many of us, sex has always been something we’ve enjoyed. But the truth is, as we’ve gotten older, we might not be having as much sex as we used to. Whether it’s because our bodies have changed or because we’re suddenly single, sex just isn’t what it was. That’s something we need to change! Sex isn’t just something we enjoy doing — it’s actually something our bodies need from us. Below are some of the amazing benefits of sex after 50. Hopefully they’ll be enough motivation to get you in the right mood.

  1. Having sex at regular intervals keeps your mind sharp. Researchers from the universities of Oxford and Coventry found that people who reported having sex regularly had improved vocabulary and visual awareness.
  2. It makes it easier to have sex more frequently. Having sex regularly helps keep delicate tissues moist, which helps the body create more lubrication. As many of us know, women’s bodies change after menopause, and vaginal dryness and atrophy can make sex less enjoyable. But one of the benefits of sex after 50 is actually that it helps to reduce some of those issues. This means that the more regularly you have sex, the more you reduce the risk of pain and discomfort during sex that occur from aging.
  3. It can relieve pain. Because it releases oxytocin, which increases endorphins, one of the benefits of sex after 50 is that it helps reduce pain. Endorphins make us feel better, both physically and emotionally. Specialists at the University of Münster in Germany found that sexual activity can completely relieve headaches and migraines, while others have reported that sex helps to alleviate pain associated with arthritis.
  4. Men who have sex more often are less likely to get prostate cancer. It turns out that “cleaning the pipes” regularly helps lower your chances of developing prostate cancer. Scientists think this might be because infrequent ejaculations allow carcinogens to remain in the prostate. According to a study by the International Society for Sexual Medicine, this means sex could be prescribed as a medicine.
  5. Sex can drastically improve your cardiovascular fitness. Sex, like any exercise, gets the blood pumping and is great for blood circulation. But one of the benefits of sex after 50 is that it’s actually associated with longer lifespans for men. One study also found that having sex frequently can help to prevent heart attacks and other coronary events.
  6. Sex helps you sleep better. Having sex is connected to getting more and better-quality sleep, which is great for those of us struggling with insomnia and sleeping through the night! Arousal and orgasm release oxytocin and decrease cortisol (known as the “stress hormone”). That means that one of the benefits of sex after 50 is that it’s easier to fall asleep. Sex helps to shut down areas of the brain linked to stress, fear, and anxiety. And it’s a good thing that sex helps you sleep better, because better sleep means better sex! A report from the journal Menopause surveyed more than 93,000 women between 50 and 79 years old. They found that shorter periods of sleep correlated with lower sexual satisfaction. So, make sure to get plenty of rest!
  7. Having sex can make you look younger. Researchers at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital found that people who have sex regularly look an average of 5 to 7 years younger. In some cases, those having regular sex looked up to 10 years younger than those who rarely had sex. While this might be enough for you to have sex more often, the reasons for it are still unclear. It could be from the hormones released during sex, or because people who have sex more tend to already pay more attention to their appearance, diet, and exercise.
  8. Physical intimacy strengthens relationships. This doesn’t just mean sex! Kissing, cuddling, hugging, and holding hands all help to increase marital satisfaction among those aged 58-85 (according to a 2014 study). One of the most important benefits of sex after 50 is that sex helps to reduce depression and increase happiness. So, it should come as no surprise that couples who are more regularly having sex are happier. As individuals, they’re also more likely to be happier overall.

It’s time for you to enjoy the benefits of sex after 50! Join 50more.com for Free today to find friends, singles, and people to scare into love near you. There’s more to life, and there’s more to you.

Here’s How To Spice Up Your Sex Life With Some Explosive Halloween Sex

asdnmaipn - October 31, 2017

7 Tips To Have The Best Halloween Sex of Your Life 7 Tips To Have The Best Halloween Sex of Your Life

We’ve already explored how Halloween dates can lead to falling in love, but there are more ways for adults to enjoy this holiday too! Most of us tend to think of Halloween as a holiday for children, but that isn’t necessarily true. Sure, dressing up and ringing neighbor’s doorbells for candy is best left for the kids, but costumes can add some fun to all of our lives. In fact, you might just enjoy Halloween way more this year if you never even leave the bedroom. Costumes make many people feel more sexually confident, so make good use of them. Dressing up in costumes and role-playing add something new to the bedroom, and new things tend to increase our dopamine — which leads to better sex! Before you buy that sexy nurse costume, here’s what you need to do in order to have some truly great Halloween sex this year:

  1. Find out your partner’s fantasies. For some reason, many people feel uncomfortable sharing their fantasies. Remember that as you try to learn what your partner wants. Keep an open mind, and make sure not to be judgmental. We’d also recommend asking via email, in the car, or in any circumstance where neither of you will be tempted to act on it immediately. Save it for Halloween night!
  2. Establish boundaries. Just because your partner is into something doesn’t mean you have to fulfill that specific fantasy. If there’s something they’re into and you’re unwilling to do, just say so. And if you’re willing to give it a try, hey, nobody’s judging! For those of you who are uneasy about giving your partner too much control, make a list of what you’re open to trying, and show it to your partner. There’ll be at least one thing they’ll be excited about for your Halloween sex night.
  3. Prepare for the role. Some people might get a little stage fright before this kind of…performance, but don’t worry! Try to prepare a few seductive lines, but don’t it too seriously. Having something to say can make some people feel more comfortable, but it’s not necessary. The whole point of role-playing is to explore something new, so just enjoy it! And trust us, your partner won’t notice or even care if you mess up. It’s just for fun, we’re not going for an Oscar!
  4. Tease, tease, tease! Sending your partner flirty texts or sneak peak photos of your look is a great way to get things going throughout the day. Just a glimpse of a wig or some heels is enough to set the mood. It’ll help to build anticipation, and it’ll also give you more time to fully get into character.
  5. Dress up. We’re highly visual creatures, and your costume is key to success here. If you’re feeling nervous or shy, a few key items can get the job done. But you and your partner will definitely enjoy yourselves more if you commit fully! Again, don’t be afraid of being silly. Ditch those insecurities! Some of these sexy costumes may display parts of our bodies we’d rather not flaunt. But don’t stress. Your partner is probably already into your body — or else they wouldn’t be there. Remember, it’s all in the name of good fun (and good Halloween sex)!
  6. Communicate. If you’re entering new territory with a partner, it’s important to keep an open line of communication. There’s nothing worse than someone making a move their partner thinks is gross — it’ll turn both of you off! The key to great Halloween sex is to be open and honest with each other. Make sure you don’t just know what your partners fantasies are, but also what turns them off. Communication goes both ways, too. Be sure to encourage your partner by telling them what they do well and what you enjoy. It might just make them open enough to try some of those new things you had on your list.
  7. Be safe. You’re trying something new, but that doesn’t mean you have to do away with safety.

Dressing up isn’t just for kids, so put on that costume and enjoy some Halloween sex! Join 50more.com for Free today to find friends, singles, and people to scare into love near you. There’s more to life, and there’s more to you.

These Halloween Date Ideas Could Help You Fall In Love This Year

asdnmaipn - October 30, 2017

These Halloween Date Ideas Will Help You Fall In Love These Halloween Date Ideas Will Help You Fall In Love

Ghosts, witches, and zombies, oh my! Halloween has a reputation as the scariest day of the year, so we tend to overlook its romantic value. But the truth is that Halloween is actually one of the most romantic nights of the year. This year, consider some of these Halloween date ideas and you may just find yourself in love by Christmas.

  1. Go to a haunted house. Scaring your date into falling love with you may sound like the stuff of horror movies, but trust us on this. It has something to do with an effect called the misattribution of arousal. Basically, whenever your body is aroused — rising blood pressure, sweaty palms, and a rapid heart rate — your mind actually links that feeling with what’s in your environment. These are the same arousal cues that happen when you’re standing in front of someone attractive. So, as the zombies and men with chainsaws chase you around the haunted house, your date might just get scared into falling in love with you. This little trick is why haunted houses are one of the most successful Halloween date ideas! But make sure to act quickly — the effect wears off once they’ve calmed down.
  2. Have a scary movie night. The same way a haunted house can help scare your date into loving you, a scary movie can have a similar effect. Except, this time, you’re all cozy on a couch instead of running for your life. While the stakes are considerably lower when watching a movie, you’ll have the chance to hold hands, comfort one another, and cuddle all night. The only other advice we have to make this one of the best Halloween date ideas? Avoid horror movies that are a bit too graphic, especially if this is a first date. You don’t want something so gruesome that it kills the mood!
  3. Carve pumpkins together. If being scared isn’t your thing, don’t stress. There are plenty of other great Halloween date ideas that won’t leave you trembling, like carving pumpkins together. It’s always fun to get to know new people by doing something creative, and that’s exactly what pumpkin carving offers. Play some music, pour some wine, and start carving! It’s a cute, relaxing way to spend an autumn evening. And we always think it’s interesting to see what someone creates on a first date — it can tell you a lot about that person.
  4. Go to a costume party together. While it might be nice to spend some quality time one-on-one, costume parties can also be one of the best Halloween date ideas. With everyone dressed up, people tend to be a little more relaxed, which is always a great environment for a date. Plus, you’ll have the chance to dress up, which means this is your chance to put your sexiest foot forward, right? There aren’t many nights of the year where it’s acceptable to show up to a first date dressed as scandalously as possible. So, take advantage of the one night that it’s perfectly acceptable to do so!
