5Things Men Really Find Romantic ( 5)

Show Interest in His Outside Life
We live in a fast-paced world, and we all know it's easy enough to get wrapped up in our own routines. But finding ways to let a man know you care about all aspects of his life, not just the parts he shares with you, is a great way to show you love the whole man. Shoot him a few well-directed questions about work to help him unwind, surprise him with a book relating to a hobby, track down a website that deals with some problem he's having -- all are touching gestures I guarantee will be well received.

Is it possible for a guy to be too nice?

Here are two ways that this could ring true:
1: He's So Nice, He Can Only Be a Friend
Hey, a good friend is hard to find. What sometimes happens when we get into a relationship? It eventually runs its course and ends, which means awkwardness and/or change in both of you, since you started off as friends. Maybe you can recover and remain buddies, but is it worth the risk if you find that you're really good friends with a nice guy? Also, sometimes the nice guy just has no edge, so he's destined to be just a friend.
2: He's So Nice, He's Not Challenging Enough
I've recently learned from your comments: Women enjoy the thrill of the chase a bit too much. People like to wonder what's going to happen, that nerve-racking first few months when the "training wheels" are still on the relationship. And, no matter how much we try to deny it, we do like that we've won someone over instead of just having them give themselves up to us. If a guy is too easy, he may be ruining his chances.

5 Things Men Really Find Romantic(4)

Tell Him a Secret
Men want to be soul mates, too. Telling him a secret -- symbolically letting him deeper inside you -- demonstrates total trust in him and faith in your relationship. Because you're making yourself vulnerable, it's an incredible bonding experience. What works just as well: Encourage him to tell you a secret or two. And don't laugh.

my best experience in the first year of college

Today i talked with the dean of the acdamic advesing department. I forgot her name, should be Mureen or something. She wants to do a reserch about the difference between american students and foreign students. She interviewed another guy and me, and we was about to talk this: my best experience in first year of college. I do like the first year at occ, even though i don't really like the two-year college as i said before because the two-year college is so different from 4-year college. Two-year college isn't so diversity like 4 year college is and it doesn't have some acdamic feelings. But anyway, i've experienced a lot of good things here. The very important thing is that i get a lot of different information from different classes. That makes me more knowlegous especially english class, even though it's a little hard for me, i really enjoy it. It gives me a lot of fun and some new ideas that i never had before, and that opened my mind. Another thing is that i'm really thankful to my english tutor, and she helps a lot. The whole year, when I have writing assignment we work on it, if i don't have one, we just talk and do some vocabulary practic and oral. I'm more confident.

5 Things Men Really Find Romantic(3)

Tell Him What a Big, Strong Guy He Is
We men are famously incompetent at expressing ourselves verbally... but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate hearing a little praise now and then. In particular, we draw a lot of our identity from our maleness. Nurturing our big-ape fantasies -- me Tarzan, you Jane -- lets us know you value us as males, which is somehow important to the continued production of testosterone.
A quick insight into men: We all want to be heroes. Remembering to compliment your mate on being a great partner isn't always easy in the middle of a busy day, but it's a quick shortcut to making him feel wanted, needed, and loved, which is of course the ultimate point of any romantic gesture. And this positive reinforcement of your mate's good behavior will yield big dividends later, as he subconsciously tries to live up to your glowing appraisal.

5 Things Men Really Find Romantic(2)

Initiate Physical Affection
Whether you're playing footsie under the table or placing a hand on our shoulders while scooting behind our chairs, men find the touch of the woman they love unbelievably reassuring. In our treasured nonverbal language, it translates as: "I accept you... I love you... We're a team."
#3. Give Him a Night Out with the Boys -- No Strings Attached
It may seem odd to you that a romantic gesture might not involve you at all. But dogs run with dogs, wolves run with wolves, and every so often, guys just have to break away and run with the guys (drooling and howling optional).

5 Things Men Really Find Romantic (1)

Dress Up for Him
"Consider dressing for his tastes and not just yours once in a while," says Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D., author of "Secrets About Men Every Woman Should Know." "Take him shopping and have him choose outfits he would like to see you in."
Remember, you're doing this for him, not for you. And, as psychologist Ronald Goldstein, Ph.D., a marriage counselor in Newtown, Pennsylvania, explains: "Women should keep in mind that men are visually oriented." Trust me, men find it very romantic when you step wholeheartedly into our debauched little fantasy worlds. If we're hard-wired to be turned on by visual cues, why not indulge us -- and use it to your advantage?

The First Two Biggest Dating Mistakes Women Make( related to research paper)

1: They go on too many unproductive dates. "If you know how to date, and you're meeting losers, get off the market and go into dating detox. Clean your energy up so those people don't ask you out anymore. The problem is we women are very impatient. We want it now. Instant gratification! Sometimes the best single men are worth waiting for. You might get one good date a year, versus 100 bad ones, but he's worth it."
2: They go out with their girlfriends in the hopes of meeting guys. "When you're with your girlfriends, you're not approachable. They're scared. Single men are very timid. I have this theory: Women who travel in packs do not attract. Men who are quality aren't going to go in there and ask you out while your girlfriends are standing right there -- he could get shot down. So it's a really good idea, at about 4 or 4:30 P.M., to go to the bar: Sit at the bar, have a drink, get an hors d'oeuvre, read a mutual-gender book like "The Da Vinci Code," know the score on TV, and pretend you're busy. You're reading a book, you're eating an hors d'oeuvre, you're meeting a friend -- and then you're more approachable because you're by yourself."

Romance,love

Without blooming roses, without shining diamond rings but those real and naive feelings make up the very first romantic love stories in college. It’s enough that each love starts with a beautiful beginning. As for whether it will come to an end, I feel it unnecessary to think too much. Love out of campus doesn’t always have a happy ending. We don't know what will exactly happen? Therefore, when love comes, we should enjoy the pleasure of loving without worrying about anything else at all. If we do so, even when love comes to an end, we could also taste its grief of parting. Tears taste sweet as long as you love your life.

sunk costs

In economics and business decision-making, sunk costs are costs that cannot be recovered once they have been incurred. Sunk costs are sometimes contrasted with variable costs, which are the costs that will change due to the proposed course of action, and prospective costs which are costs that will be incurred if an action is taken. In microeconomic theory, only variable costs are relevant to a decision. Economics proposes that a rational actor does not let sunk costs influence one's decisions, because doing so would not be assessing a decision exclusively on its own merits. The decision-maker may make rational decisions according to their own incentives; these incentives may dictate different decisions than would be dictated by efficiency or profitability, and this is considered an incentive problem and distinct from a sunk cost problem. In decision making one should also consider fixed proportion of the sunk costs. Lets take an example of a market which has a free entry. There are several firms in the market operating profitably, but if high proprotions of sunk cost in this market are fixed costs then others firms would hesitate to enter into that market while on the other hand if very low proportion of sunk cost are fixed costs for the same market, firms would love to enter into that market.

essay in text book

I don't really like this text book, I don't know why maybe just because there are too many strange words to me those I never seen in my life. But there indeed are many interesting essays there. When I read it, I feel I really open my eyes. But no matter how I like this book, there are still have some articles those I don't like it. For instance, the essay" On immortality", the whold eassy talk about the longevity. How the author doesn't like the longevity or many study prove longevity is not good or blah, blah, blah...They call on the live should be heathy and quality. Yea, I agree. But some people they do like to live long, why those guys try to prove longeivity is not right? Each person has his own understanding of life, and everyone has different choice. We might not change other's mind, and we just do ourselves.

High school teacher

She is my high school teacher. She is the teacher who taught me politics and made me unhappy everyday. At the beginning,she was my hated one teacher. But later, she became the one who compacted on me a lot in my life. I started to love her after I graduated from high school. now she passed away. As I known, her daughter has already been in middle-school.
I wanted to talk about why I hated her. Well, now I know I shouldn't really hate her, what she did shows us she love us very much and she wanted to give us everything she had. But she is a very emotinal person, she always got angry in class "without "any reason. yes, when I was at that age, I really thought she got angry without any reason. And she always controls us for everything such as, homework, go to class on time, don't talk in class, don't eat, no laughing, no talking, keep quiet, and so on.
When we graduated from school, we had a very geogerce graduation ceremony. Teachers and students talk to each other with the whole heart. Then we understand each other very well, but we on earth would leave. she said many many words in class, but she lead me to forward in a word" being a person with good attitude, and hard working carefully" If I could, I really wanted to say" Thank you" to my teacher.

My favorite subject

my favorite subject is math. I can say i'm really good at math.When i was young, someone told me math is really really beautiful. But at that time, I couldn't understand very well. Later, when I got to the college, I found I really really love it. The amazing thing is that I found the world actually is make up with all kinds of mathematic models. The models combine radomly and build up beautiful houses, cars, even women. When language so often proves in vain, you will find out how beautiful and supernatural the Math Models are. But it's a shame that I didn't choice math as my major, not because I don't love it just because I don't want to work on it and break it's aesthetic quality

first day

my friend sent me a gift, Billy Collins newest peotry anthology.
i really love it and read many the whole day. this is my favorite one:

What love does

A fine thing, or so it sounds
on the radio in the summer
with all the windows rolled down

Yet it pierces not only the heart
but the eyeball and the scrotum
and the little target of the nipple with arrows

It turns everything into a symbol
like a storm that breaks loose
in the final chapter of a long novel

And it may add sparkle to a morning
or deepen a night
when the bed is ringed with fire

It teaches you new joys
and new maneuvers--
the takedown, the reversal,the escape

But mostly it comes and goes
a bee visiting the center
of one flower, then another

Even as the ink is drying
on her name, it is off
to visit someone in another city

a city with two steeples
rows of brick chimney pots
and a school with a tree-lined entrance

It will travel through the night to get there
and it will arrival like an archangel
through an iron gate no one ever seemed to notice before.

impression management

Impression management theory
Impression management (IM) theory states that any individual or organization must establish and maintain impressions that are congruent with the perceptions they want to convey to their publics. From both a communications and public relations viewpoint, the theory of impression management encompasses the vital ways in which one establishes and communicates this congruence between personal or organizational goals and their intended actions which create public perception.
The idea that perception is reality is the basis for this sociological and social psychology theory[citation needed], which is framed around the presumption that the other’s perceptions of you or your organization become the reality from which they form ideas and the basis for intended behaviors.

Cheating

I never cheat in my life. That doesn't mean I really think that's guilty. I just don't like it and I trust myself, that's all. BUT to the people who cheat, I think there are some reasons:
First of all, I guess they just didn't study hard and prepare very well for the tests, and also they want to have a good grade.
Secondly, they may just don't know what to do and very bored about their study
finally, they may just like me who don't think cheating is Really bad, they may just think that cheating isn't a big problem.
But I still want to say cheating shouldn't be allowed coz it will lead to big guilt in the future
