1. [love is more thicker than forget] by e.e. cummings

love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

2. The Quiet World by Jeffrey McDaniel

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

3. Before You Came by Faiz Ahmed Faiz –

Before you came,
things were as they should be:
the sky was the dead-end of sight,
the road was just a road, wine merely wine.

Now everything is like my heart,
a color at the edge of blood:
the grey of your absence, the color of poison, of thorns,
the gold when we meet, the season ablaze,
the yellow of autumn, the red of flowers, of flames,
and the black when you cover the earth
with the coal of dead fires.

And the sky, the road, the glass of wine?
The sky is a shirt wet with tears,
the road a vein about to break,
and the glass of wine a mirror in which
the sky, the road, the world keep changing.

Don’t leave now that you’re here—
Stay. So the world may become like itself again:
so the sky may be the sky,
the road a road,
and the glass of wine not a mirror, just a glass of wine.

4. Love Song for Lucinda by Langston Hughes

Love
Is a ripe plum
Growing on a purple tree.
Taste it once
And the spell of its enchantment
Will never let you be.

Love
Is a bright star
Glowing in far Southern skies.
Look too hard
And its burning flame
Will always hurt your eyes.

Love
Is a high mountain
Stark in a windy sky.
If you
Would never lose your breath
Do not climb too high.

5. poem I wrote sitting across the table from you by Kevin Varrone

if I had two nickels to rub together
I would rub them together

like a kid rubs sticks together
until friction made combustion

and they burned

a hole in my pocket

into which I would put my hand
and then my arm

and eventually my whole self––
I would fold myself

into the hole in my pocket and disappear

into the pocket of myself, or at least my pants

but before I did

like some ancient star

I’d grab your hand

6. Love in Brooklyn by John Wakeman

“I love you, Horowitz,” he said, and blew his nose.
She splashed her drink. “The hell you say,” she said.
“Not love. You don’t love me. You like my legs,
and how I make your letters nice and all.
You drunk your drink too fast. You don’t love me.”

“You wanna bet?” he asked. “You wanna bet?
I loved you from the day they moved you up
from Payroll, last July. I watched you, right?
You sat there on that typing chair you have
and swung round like a kid. It made me shake.
Like once, in World War II, I saw a tank
slide through some trees at dawn like it was a god.
That’s how you make me feel. I don’t know why.”

She turned towards him, then sat back and grinned,
and on the bar stool swung full circle round.
“You think I’m like a tank, you mean?” she asked.
“Some fellers tell me nicer things than that.”
But then she saw his face and touched his arm
and softly said, “I’m only kidding you.”

He ordered drinks, the same again, and paid.
A fat man, wordless, staring at the floor.
She took his hand in hers and pressed it hard.
And his plump fingers trembled in her lap.

7. [anyone lived in a pretty how town] by e.e. cummings

anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did.

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

8. The Meaning of Zero: A Love Poem by Amy Uyematsu

A mere eyelid’s distance between you and me.

It took us a long time to discover the number zero.

John’s brother is afraid to go outside.
He claims he knows
the meaning of zero.

I want to kiss you.

A mathematician once told me you can add infinity
to infinity.

There is a zero vector, which starts and ends
at the same place, its force
and movement impossible
to record with
rays or maps or words.
It intersects yet runs parallel
with all others.

A young man I know
wants me to prove
the zero vector exists.
I tell him I can’t,
but nothing in my world
makes sense without it.

9. [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

10. Love Song by Henry Dumas

Beloved,
I have to adore the earth:

The wind must have heard
your voice once.
It echoes and sings like you.

The soil must have tasted
you once.
It is laden with your scent.

The trees honor you
in gold
and blush when you pass.

I know why the north country
is frozen.
It has been trying to preserve
your memory.

I know why the desert
burns with fever.
It was wept too long without you.

On hands and knees,
the ocean begs up the beach,
and falls at your feet.

I have to adore
the mirror of the earth.
You have taught her well
how to be beautiful.

11. Love Comes Quietly by Robert Creeley

Love comes quietly,
finally, drops
about me, on me,
in the old ways.

What did I know
thinking myself
able to go
alone all the way.

12. To Dorothy by Marvin Bell

You are not beautiful, exactly.
You are beautiful, inexactly.
You let a weed grow by the mulberry
and a mulberry grow by the house.
So close, in the personal quiet
of a windy night, it brushes the wall
and sweeps away the day till we sleep.

A child said it, and it seemed true:
“Things that are lost are all equal.”
But it isn’t true. If I lost you,
the air wouldn’t move, nor the tree grow.
Someone would pull the weed, my flower.
The quiet wouldn’t be yours. If I lost you,
I’d have to ask the grass to let me sleep.

13. Yours by Daniel Hoffman

I am yours as the summer air at evening is
Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms,

As the snowcap gleams with light
Lent it by the brimming moon.

Without you I’d be an unleafed tree
Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.

Your love is the weather of my being.
What is an island without the sea?

14. The Kiss by Charlotte Dacre

THE greatest bliss
Is in a kiss—
A kiss of love refin’d,
When springs the soul
Without controul,
And blends the bliss with mind.

For if desire
Alone inspire,
The kiss not me can charm;
The eye must beam
With chasten’d gleam
That would my soul disarm.

What fond delight
Does love excite
When sentiment takes part!
The falt’ring sigh,
Voluptuous eye,
And palpitating heart.

Ye fleet too fast—
Sweet moment, last
A little longer mine!
Like Heaven’s bow
Ye fade—ye go;
Too tremulously fine!

15. Footprint on Your Heart by Gary Lenhart

Someone will walk into your life,
Leave a footprint on your heart,
Turn it into a mudroom cluttered
With encrusted boots, children’s mittens,
Scratchy scarves—
Where you linger to unwrap
Or ready yourself for rough exits
Into howling gales or onto
Frozen car seats, expulsions
Into the great outdoors where touch
Is muffled, noses glisten,
And breaths stab,
So that when you meet someone
Who is leaving your life
You will be able to wave stiff
Icy mitts and look forward
To an evening in spring
When you can fold winter away
Until your next encounter with
A chill so numbing you strew
The heart’s antechamber
With layers of rural garble.

16. Syntax by Maureen N. McLane

and if
I were to say

I love you and
I do love you

and I say it
now and again

and again
would you say

parataxis
would you see

the world revolves
anew

its axis
you

17. The Kiss by Stephen Dunn

She pressed her lips to mind.
—a typo

How many years I must have yearned
for someone’s lips against mind.
Pheromones, newly born, were floating
between us. There was hardly any air.

She kissed me again, reaching that place
that sends messages to toes and fingertips,
then all the way to something like home.
Some music was playing on its own.

Nothing like a woman who knows
to kiss the right thing at the right time,
then kisses the things she’s missed.
How had I ever settled for less?

I was thinking this is intelligence,
this is the wisest tongue
since the Oracle got into a Greek’s ear,
speaking sense. It’s the Good,

defining itself. I was out of my mind.
She was in. We married as soon as we could.

18. Adore by Li-Young Lee

(adore, verb from Latin, adorare,
                                       from ad– ‘to’ + orare– ‘speak, call pray’)

You lie asleep beside me,
one hand on the pillow and cupped
at your mouth, as if to tell a secret.

As if you might say in your sleep
what you could never find 
words for awake.

Or as if you called
across a din of other voices,
or the howl of empty space. Calling

because there are no bells 
to strike the hours where we live. And I must know
when to kneel and when to rise.
What to praise and what to curse.
I must know how to bless
and how to receive blessing. 

One hand on your pillow and cupped
at your mouth,
as if you spoke a word
you’d kept to yourself all day, waiting 
for your most unguarded moment
to say, a thought meant for me, meant to be
shared between us this way,
sealed this way, a secret
no voice can carry without destroying,
a word without carriage, except conveyed
in the peace of your body and face,

a word born out of your deepest rest, a word
which only my own deepest breathing
and happiest rest beside you,
face to face, free of thinking, can sustain.

Maybe you had to be asleep
to say what you knew to be true.
Or what you had to say
you might not could bear to hear,
and so you must say so softly
I must close my eyes, I must turn
inward, to where you’ve made a room
and a bed inside me, to receive it. 

You say:
We cannot look upon Love’s face without dying.
So we face each other to see Love’s look.
And thus third-person souls
suddenly stand at gaze
and the lover and the beloved,
second- and first-persons,
You and I, eye
to eye, are born. 
But such refraction, multiplying gazes, strews
Love’s eye upon the objects of the world,
as upon the objects of our room. 

My brush, hairpin, mirror, book,
your loving look finds each of these things
lovable, I can see. Things
by any other measure poor, your look crowns
to make them your heart’s royalty.
Face, blush, breath, eyes, evanescent,
pledged to death, nowhere stored,
Love’s look gathers within its fondling
to adore.

This strewing and gathering
of Love’s face, of Love’s gaze, and only this,
begun in death’s audience, is the founding
action, call it the fundamental
paradise…did I say paradise?
I meant paradox…the fundamental paradox
of the breaths we breathe,
the thoughts we witness,
the kisses we exchange,
and every poem you write.

19. Bright Star by John Keats

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

20. I Am Offering This Poem by Jimmy Santiago Baca

I am offering this poem to you,
since I have nothing else to give.
Keep it like a warm coat
when winter comes to cover you,
or like a pair of thick socks
the cold cannot bite through,

I love you

I have nothing else to give you,
so it is a pot full of yellow corn
to warm your belly in winter,
it is a scarf for your head, to wear
over your hair, to tie up around your face,

I love you

Keep it, treasure this as you would
if you were lost, needing direction,
in the wilderness life becomes when mature;
and in the corner of your drawer,
tucked away like a cabin or hogan
in dense trees, come knocking,
and I will answer, give you directions,
and let you warm yourself by this fire,
rest by this fire, and make you feel safe

I love you

It’s all I have to give,
and all anyone needs to live,
and to go on living inside,
when the world outside
no longer cares if you live or die;
remember,

I love you

Poems About Married Love

Being deeply in love after years of marriage is something so sweet and special. We wanted to find a few poems that spoke directly to that experience. My favorite is #24!

21. Married Love by Guan Daosheng

You and I
Have so much love,
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share a single coffin.

22. Love Poem by Melissa Balmain

The afternoon we left our first apartment,
we scrubbed it down from ceiling to parquet.
Who knew the place could smell like lemon muffins?
It suddenly seemed nuts to move away.

The morning someone bought our station wagon,
it gleamed with wax and every piston purred.
That car looked like a centerfold in Hot Rod!
Too late, we saw that selling was absurd.

And then there was the freshly tuned piano
we passed along to neighbors with a wince.
We told ourselves we’d find one even better;
instead we’ve missed its timbre ever since.

So if, God help us, we are ever tempted
to ditch our marriage when it’s lost its glow,
let’s give the thing our finest spit and polish—
and, having learned our lesson, not let go.

23. Love is by Nikki Giovanni

Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you
“Good night”
no matter how young or old you are

Some people don’t remember that
love is
listening and laughing and asking
questions
no matter what your age

Few recognize that love is
commitment, responsibility
no fun at all
unless

Love is
You and me

24. After Making Love We Hear Footsteps by Galway Kinnell

For I can snore like a bullhorn
or play loud music
or sit up talking with any reasonably sober Irishman
and Fergus will only sink deeper
into his dreamless sleep, which goes by all in one flash,
but let there be that heavy breathing
or a stifled come-cry anywhere in the house
and he will wrench himself awake
and make for it on the run—as now, we lie together,
after making love, quiet, touching along the length of our bodies,
familiar touch of the long-married,
and he appears—in his baseball pajamas, it happens,
the neck opening so small he has to screw them on—
and flops down between us and hugs us and snuggles himself to sleep,
his face gleaming with satisfaction at being this very child.

In the half darkness we look at each other
and smile
and touch arms across this little, startlingly muscled body—
this one whom habit of memory propels to the ground of his making,
sleeper only the mortal sounds can sing awake,
this blessing love gives again into our arms.

25. And I Have You by Nikki Giovanni

Rain has drops
Sun has shine
Moon has beams
That make you mine
Rivers have banks
Sands for shores
Hearts have heartbeats
That make me yours
Needles have eyes
Though pins may prick
Elmer has glue
To make things stick
Winter has Spring
Stockings feet
Pepper has mint
To make it sweet
Teachers have lessons
Soup du jour
Lawyers sue bad folks
Doctors cure
All and all
This much is true
You have me
And I have you

26. When You Are Old by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

27. To Be One With Each Other by George Eliot

What greater thing is there for two human souls,
than to feel that they are joined for life –
to strengthen each other in all labour,
to rest on each other in all sorrow,
to minister to each other in all pain,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories.

28. Our Souls Are Mirrors by Rupi Kaur

god must have kneaded you and i
from the same dough
rolled us out as one on the baking sheet
must have suddenly realized
how unfair it was
to put that much magic in one person
and sadly split that dough in two
how else is it that
when i look in the mirror
i am looking at you
when you breathe
my own lungs fill with air
that we just met but we
have known each other our whole lives
if we were not made as one to begin with

29. The River-Merchant’s Wife: A Letter by Ezra Pound

While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead
I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.
You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,
You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums.
And we went on living in the village of Chōkan:
Two small people, without dislike or suspicion.
At fourteen I married My Lord you.
I never laughed, being bashful.
Lowering my head, I looked at the wall.
Called to, a thousand times, I never looked back.

At fifteen I stopped scowling,
I desired my dust to be mingled with yours
Forever and forever, and forever.
Why should I climb the look out?

At sixteen you departed
You went into far Ku-tō-en, by the river of swirling eddies,
And you have been gone five months.
The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead.

You dragged your feet when you went out.
By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses,
Too deep to clear them away!
The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind.
The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
Over the grass in the West garden;
They hurt me.
I grow older.
If you are coming down through the narrows of the river Kiang,
Please let me know beforehand,
And I will come out to meet you
As far as Chō-fū-Sa.

Sexual Love Poems for Her

Are we gonna get a little risque here? Just a bit. These are the perfect precursor to some steamy time with the one you love. You can use these love poems for her to warm up and get ready.

30. I Love You by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire;
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire.
I love your arms when the warm white flesh
Touches mine in a fond embrace;
I love your hair when the strands enmesh
Your kisses against my face.

Not for me the cold, calm kiss
Of a virgin’s bloodless love;
Not for me the saint’s white bliss,
Nor the heart of a spotless dove.
But give me the love that so freely gives
And laughs at the whole world’s blame,
With your body so young and warm in my arms,
It sets my poor heart aflame.

So kiss me sweet with your warm wet mouth,
Still fragrant with ruby wine,
And say with a fervor born of the South
That your body and soul are mine.
Clasp me close in your warm young arms,
While the pale stars shine above,
And we’ll live our whole young lives away
In the joys of a living love.

31. Love-Lily by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Between the hands, between the brows,
Between the lips of Love-Lily,
A spirit is born whose birth endows
My blood with fire to burn through me;
Who breathes upon my gazing eyes,
Who laughs and murmurs in mine ear,
At whose least touch my colour flies,
And whom my life grows faint to hear.

Within the voice, within the heart,
Within the mind of Love-Lily,
A spirit is born who lifts apart
His tremulous wings and looks at me;
Who on my mouth his finger lays,
And shows, while whispering lutes confer,
That Eden of Love’s watered ways
Whose winds and spirits worship her.

Brows, hands, and lips, heart, mind, and voice,
Kisses and words of Love-Lily,—
Oh! bid me with your joy rejoice
Till riotous longing rest in me!
Ah! let not hope be still distraught,
But find in her its gracious goal,
Whose speech Truth knows not from her thought
Nor Love her body from her soul.

32. Love in Middle Age by William Ford –

“It doesn’t matter who begins; The other plays accompaniment; Practiced many years; The two of us at our best”

33. Love and Sleep by Algernon Charles Swinburne

Lying asleep between the strokes of night
I saw my love lean over my sad bed,
Pale as the duskiest lily’s leaf or head,
Smooth-skinned and dark, with bare throat made to bite,
Too wan for blushing and too warm for white,
But perfect-coloured without white or red.
And her lips opened amorously, and said –
I wist not what, saving one word – Delight.

And all her face was honey to my mouth,
And all her body pasture to mine eyes;
The long lithe arms and hotter hands than fire,
The quivering flanks, hair smelling of the south,
The bright light feet, the splendid supple thighs
And glittering eyelids of my soul’s desire.

34. The Rain by Robert Creeley

All night the sound had
come back again,
and again falls
this quiet, persistent rain.

What am I to myself
that must be remembered,
insisted upon
so often? Is it

that never the ease,
even the hardness,
of rain falling
will have for me

something other than this,
something not so insistent—
am I to be locked in this
final uneasiness.

Love, if you love me,
lie next to me.
Be for me, like rain,
the getting out

of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness.

35. Portrait of a Lady by William Carlos Williams

Your thighs are appletrees
whose blossoms touch the sky.
Which sky? The sky
where Watteau hung a lady’s
slipper. Your knees
are a southern breeze — or
a gust of snow. Agh! what
sort of man was Fragonard?
— As if that answered
anything. — Ah, yes. Below
the knees, since the tune
drops that way, it is
one of those white summer days,
the tall grass of your ankles
flickers upon the shore —
Which shore? —
the sand clings to my lips —
Which shore?
Agh, petals maybe. How
should I know?
Which shore? Which shore?
— the petals from some hidden
appletree — Which shore?
I said petals from an appletree.

36. Love and Sex by Ronald Wallace –

We did it in the car, in the dark
private girls’ school parking lot
where we could watch the security guard
coming a long way off. Mid-winter,
the old heater clattering, our underwear
wedged in the glove compartment, Hello
officer, yes, we were just leaving.
How desire and longing could inspire
the unlikeliest situation, as we drove
home through the unconsummated snow,
all smiling, heat, and light.

How we work to get it perfect, now.
The queen-size bed and fitted sheets,
the firelight glinting through the wine,
the familiar choreography of martial art,
the infinite variety we’ve got by heart.

37. Ode to a Beautiful Nude by Pablo Neruda

With a chaste heart
With pure eyes I celebrate your beauty
Holding the leash of blood
So that it might leap out and trace your outline
Where you lie down in my Ode
As in a land of forests or in surf
In aromatic loam, or in sea music

Beautiful nude
Equally beautiful your feet
Arched by primeval tap of wind or sound
Your ears, small shells
Of the splendid American sea
Your breasts of level plentitude
Fulfilled by living light
Your flying eyelids of wheat
Revealing or enclosing
The two deep countries of your eyes

The line your shoulders have divided into pale regions
Loses itself and blends into the compact halves of an apple
Continues separating your beauty down into two columns of
Burnished gold
Fine alabaster
To sink into the two grapes of your feet
Where your twin symmetrical tree burns again and rises
Flowering fire
Open chandelier
A swelling fruit
Over the pact of sea and earth

From what materials
Agate?
Quartz?
Wheat?
Did your body come together?
Swelling like baking bread to signal silvered hills
The cleavage of one petal
Sweet fruits of a deep velvet
Until alone remained
Astonished
The fine and firm feminine form

It is not only light that falls over the world spreading inside your body
Yet suffocate itself
So much is clarity
Taking its leave of you
As if you were on fire within

The moon lives in the lining of your skin

38. La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad by John Keats

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
And the harvest’s done.

I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever-dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan

I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery’s song.

She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew,
And sure in language strange she said—
‘I love thee true’.

She took me to her Elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.

And there she lullèd me asleep,
And there I dreamed—Ah! woe betide!—
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hill side.

I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried—‘La Belle Dame sans Merci
Thee hath in thrall!’

I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill’s side.

And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

39. Upon Julia’s Breasts by Robert Herrick

Display thy breasts, my Julia, there let me
Behold that circummortal purity;
Between whose glories, there my lips I’ll lay,
Ravished in that fair Via Lactea.

40. As Adam in the Early Morning by Walt Whitman

As Adam early in the morning,
Walking forth from the bower refresh’d with sleep,
Behold me where I pass, hear my voice, approach,
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass,
Be not afraid of my body.

41. The Ecstacy by John Donne

Where, like a pillow on a bed
A pregnant bank swell’d up to rest
The violet’s reclining head,
Sat we two, one another’s best.
Our hands were firmly cemented
With a fast balm, which thence did spring;
Our eye-beams twisted, and did thread
Our eyes upon one double string;
So to’intergraft our hands, as yet
Was all the means to make us one,
And pictures in our eyes to get
Was all our propagation.
As ‘twixt two equal armies fate
Suspends uncertain victory,
Our souls (which to advance their state
Were gone out) hung ‘twixt her and me.
And whilst our souls negotiate there,
We like sepulchral statues lay;
All day, the same our postures were,
And we said nothing, all the day.
If any, so by love refin’d
That he soul’s language understood,
And by good love were grown all mind,
Within convenient distance stood,
He (though he knew not which soul spake,
Because both meant, both spake the same)
Might thence a new concoction take
And part far purer than he came.
This ecstasy doth unperplex,
We said, and tell us what we love;
We see by this it was not sex,
We see we saw not what did move;
But as all several souls contain
Mixture of things, they know not what,
Love these mix’d souls doth mix again
And makes both one, each this and that.
A single violet transplant,
The strength, the colour, and the size,
(All which before was poor and scant)
Redoubles still, and multiplies.
When love with one another so
Interinanimates two souls,
That abler soul, which thence doth flow,
Defects of loneliness controls.
We then, who are this new soul, know
Of what we are compos’d and made,
For th’ atomies of which we grow
Are souls, whom no change can invade.
But oh alas, so long, so far,
Our bodies why do we forbear?
They’are ours, though they’are not we; we are
The intelligences, they the spheres.
We owe them thanks, because they thus
Did us, to us, at first convey,
Yielded their senses’ force to us,
Nor are dross to us, but allay.
On man heaven’s influence works not so,
But that it first imprints the air;
So soul into the soul may flow,
Though it to body first repair.
As our blood labors to beget
Spirits, as like souls as it can,
Because such fingers need to knit
That subtle knot which makes us man,
So must pure lovers’ souls descend
T’ affections, and to faculties,
Which sense may reach and apprehend,
Else a great prince in prison lies.
To’our bodies turn we then, that so
Weak men on love reveal’d may look;
Love’s mysteries in souls do grow,
But yet the body is his book.
And if some lover, such as we,
Have heard this dialogue of one,
Let him still mark us, he shall see
Small change, when we’are to bodies gone.

42. Topography by Sharon Olds

After we flew across the country we
got in bed, laid our bodies
delicately together, like maps laid
face to face, East to West, my
San Francisco against your New York, your
Fire Island against my Sonoma, my
New Orleans deep in your Texas, your Idaho
bright on my Great Lakes, my Kansas
burning against your Kansas your Kansas
burning against my Kansas, your Eastern
Standard Time pressing into my
Pacific Time, my Mountain Time
beating against your Central Time, your
sun rising swiftly from the right my
sun rising swiftly from the left your
moon rising slowly form the left my
moon rising slowly form the right until
all four bodies of the sky
burn above us, sealing us together,
all our cities twin cities,
all our states united, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

43. Wild Nights, Wild Nights! by Emily Dickinson

Wild nights – Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile – the winds –
To a Heart in port –
Done with the Compass –
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden –
Ah – the Sea!
Might I but moor – tonight –
In thee!

44. How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

45. My Mistress’ Eyes by William Shakespeare

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

46. I Loved You First by Christina Rossetti

I loved you first: but afterwards your love
Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song
As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.
Which owes the other most? my love was long,
And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;
I loved and guessed at you, you construed me
And loved me for what might or might not be –
Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.
For verily love knows not ‘mine’ or ‘thine;’
With separate ‘I’ and ‘thou’ free love has done,
For one is both and both are one in love:
Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;’
Both have the strength and both the length thereof,
Both of us, of the love which makes us one.

47. To the Fair Clarinda by Aphra Behn

Fair lovely maid, or if that title be
Too weak, too feminine for nobler thee,
Permit a name that more approaches truth,
And let me call thee, lovely charming youth.
This last will justify my soft complaint,
While that may serve to lessen my constraint;
And without blushes I the youth pursue,
When so much beauteous woman is in view.
Against thy charms we struggle but in vain
With thy deluding form thou giv’st us pain,
While the bright nymph betrays us to the swain.
In pity to our sex sure thou wert sent,
That we might love, and yet be innocent:
For sure no crime with thee we can commit;
Or if we should — thy form excuses it.
For who, that gathers fairest flowers believes
A snake lies hid beneath the fragrant leaves.

Thou beauteous wonder of a different kind,
Soft Cloris with the dear Alexis joined;
When e’er the manly part of thee, would plead
Thou tempts us with the image of the maid,
While we the noblest passions do extend
The love to Hermes, Aphrodite the friend.

48. She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

49. Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer Day by William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

50. The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the Rocks,
Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow Rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing Madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of Roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty Lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and Ivy buds,
With Coral clasps and Amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

The Shepherds’ Swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May-morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me, and be my love.

51. Let Me Not the Marriage of True Minds by William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov’d,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.

52. Love me Little, Love me Long by Anonymous

Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song.
Love that is too hot and strong
Burneth soon to waste:
Still, I would not have thee cold,
Not too backward, nor too bold;
Love that lasteth till ’tis old
Fadeth not in haste.
Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song.

If thou lovest me too much
It will not prove as true as touch;
Love me little, more than such,
For I fear the end:
I am with little well content,
And a little from thee sent
Is enough, with true intent
To be steadfast friend.
Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song.

Say thou lov’st me while thou live;
I to thee my love will give,
never dreaming to deceive
Whiles that life endures:
Nay, and after death, in sooth,
I too thee will keep my truth,
As now, when in my May of youth:
This my love assures.
Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden on my song.

Constant love is moderate ever,
And it will through life persèver:
Give me that, with true endeavour
I will it restore.
A suit of durance let it be
For all weathers that for me,
For the land or for the sea,
Lasting evermore.
Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song.

Winter’s cold, or summer’s heat,
Autumn’s tempests, on it beat,
It can never know defeat,
Never can rebel:
Such the love that I would gain,
Such the love, I tell thee plain,
Thou must give, or woo in vain:
So to thee, farewell
Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song.

53. Air and Angels by John Donne

Twice or thrice had I lov’d thee,
Before I knew thy face or name;
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame
Angels affect us oft, and worshipp’d be;
Still when, to where thou wert, I came,
Some lovely glorious nothing I did see.
But since my soul, whose child love is,
Takes limbs of flesh, and else could nothing do,
More subtle than the parent is
Love must not be, but take a body too;
And therefore what thou wert, and who,
I bid Love ask, and now
That it assume thy body, I allow,
And fix itself in thy lip, eye, and brow.

Whilst thus to ballast love I thought,
And so more steadily to have gone,
With wares which would sink admiration,
I saw I had love’s pinnace overfraught;
Ev’ry thy hair for love to work upon
Is much too much, some fitter must be sought;
For, nor in nothing, nor in things
Extreme, and scatt’ring bright, can love inhere;
Then, as an angel, face, and wings
Of air, not pure as it, yet pure, doth wear,
So thy love may be my love’s sphere;
Just such disparity
As is ‘twixt air and angels’ purity,
‘Twixt women’s love, and men’s, will ever be.

54. I Wish I Could Remember That First Day by Christinna Rossetti

Era gia l’ora che volge il desio. – Dante
Ricorro al tempo ch’io vi vidi prima. – Petrarca

I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!

55. Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—

See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

56. Love by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

We cannot live, except thus mutually
We alternate, aware or unaware,
The reflex act of life: and when we bear
Our virtue onward most impulsively,
Most full of invocation, and to be
Most instantly compellant, certes, there
We live most life, whoever breathes most air
And counts his dying years by sun and sea.
But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth
Throw out her full force on another soul,
The conscience and the concentration both
Make mere life, Love. For Life in perfect whole
And aim consummated, is Love in sooth,
As nature’s magnet-heat rounds pole with pole.

57. Love by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.

Oft in my waking dreams do I
Live o’er again that happy hour,
When midway on the mount I lay,
Beside the ruined tower.

The moonshine, stealing o’er the scene
Had blended with the lights of eve;
And she was there, my hope, my joy,
My own dear Genevieve!

She leant against the arm{‘e}d man,
The statue of the arm{‘e}d knight;
She stood and listened to my lay,
Amid the lingering light.

Few sorrows hath she of her own,
My hope! my joy! my Genevieve!
She loves me best, whene’er I sing
The songs that make her grieve.

I played a soft and doleful air,
I sang an old and moving story—
An old rude song, that suited well
That ruin wild and hoary.

She listened with a flitting blush,
With downcast eyes and modest grace;
For well she knew, I could not choose
But gaze upon her face.

I told her of the Knight that wore
Upon his shield a burning brand;
And that for ten long years he wooed
The Lady of the Land.

I told her how he pined: and ah!
The deep, the low, the pleading tone
With which I sang another’s love,
Interpreted my own.

She listened with a flitting blush,
With downcast eyes, and modest grace;
And she forgave me, that I gazed
Too fondly on her face!

But when I told the cruel scorn
That crazed that bold and lovely Knight,
And that he crossed the mountain-woods,
Nor rested day nor night;

That sometimes from the savage den,
And sometimes from the darksome shade,
And sometimes starting up at once
In green and sunny glade,—

There came and looked him in the face
An angel beautiful and bright;
And that he knew it was a Fiend,
This miserable Knight!

And that unknowing what he did,
He leaped amid a murderous band,
And saved from outrage worse than death
The Lady of the Land!

And how she wept, and clasped his knees;
And how she tended him in vain—
And ever strove to expiate
The scorn that crazed his brain;—

And that she nursed him in a cave;
And how his madness went away,
When on the yellow forest-leaves
A dying man he lay;—

His dying words—but when I reached
That tenderest strain of all the ditty,
My faltering voice and pausing harp
Disturbed her soul with pity!

All impulses of soul and sense
Had thrilled my guileless Genevieve;
The music and the doleful tale,
The rich and balmy eve;

And hopes, and fears that kindle hope,
An undistinguishable throng,
And gentle wishes long subdued,
Subdued and cherished long!

She wept with pity and delight,
She blushed with love, and virgin-shame;
And like the murmur of a dream,
I heard her breathe my name.

Her bosom heaved—she stepped aside,
As conscious of my look she stepped—
Then suddenly, with timorous eye
She fled to me and wept.

She half enclosed me with her arms,
She pressed me with a meek embrace;
And bending back her head, looked up,
And gazed upon my face.

‘Twas partly love, and partly fear,
And partly ’twas a bashful art,
That I might rather feel, than see,
The swelling of her heart.

I calmed her fears, and she was calm,
And told her love with virgin pride;
And so I won my Genevieve,
My bright and beauteous Bride.

58. Love’s Growth by John Donne

I scarce believe my love to be so pure
As I had thought it was,
Because it doth endure
Vicissitude, and season, as the grass;
Methinks I lied all winter, when I swore
My love was infinite, if spring make’ it more.

But if medicine, love, which cures all sorrow
With more, not only be no quintessence,
But mixed of all stuffs paining soul or sense,
And of the sun his working vigor borrow,
Love’s not so pure, and abstract, as they use
To say, which have no mistress but their muse,
But as all else, being elemented too,
Love sometimes would contemplate, sometimes do.

And yet no greater, but more eminent,
Love by the spring is grown;
As, in the firmament,
Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
Gentle love deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
From love’s awakened root do bud out now.

If, as water stirred more circles be
Produced by one, love such additions take,
Those, like so many spheres, but one heaven make,
For they are all concentric unto thee;
And though each spring do add to love new heat,
As princes do in time of action get
New taxes, and remit them not in peace,
No winter shall abate the spring’s increase.

59. Let Us Live and Love by Gaius Valerius Catullus

My sweetest Lesbia, let us live and love;
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them. Heaven’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive;
But, soon as once set is our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.

If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from camp of love.
But fools do live and waster their little light,
And seek with pain their ever-during night.

When timely death my life and fortune ends,
Let not my hearse be vexed with mourning friends;
But let all lovers rich in triumph come,
And with sweet pastime grace my happy tomb.
And, Lesbia, close up thou my little light,
And crown with love by ever-during night.

60. A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

Has your significant other been blaming you for everything lately? In the chemistry of relationships, constant blame is a corrosive agent. It weakens trust, eats away at love, and ultimately wears down romantic bonds. Being at the receiving end of constant blame like:

• “I wouldn’t be so angry, if you…”
• “You always…”
• “You never…”

is understandably frustrating. So what should you do if you find yourself being blamed for everything in a relationship? We turned to psychologist Jayant Sundaresan (Masters in Applied Psychology), who specializes in offering counseling for a range of relationship issues, such as communication breakdown, expectation management, infidelity, separation, and divorce in order to understand how to deal with someone who blames you for everything.

Where does blame stem from?

Before trying to deal with blame, it is important to understand where it stems from. According to Jayant, blame comes from unexpressed anger that is bubbling inside. He tells us the common reasons for a blaming attitude:

• Often, it is resentment
• It could be due to something the person being blamed has actually done or not done
• They are upset over a number of things, but they have not spoken about it out loud
• There could be a lack of happiness or contentment with life
• Work could be in trouble
• There might be issues in the relationship 
• It could even point to shades of a narcissistic personality

What is blaming someone else for your problems called?

Blaming someone else for your problems is called projecting. “It’s black-or-white thinking: Your blaming partner believes that you are the only reason they’re having a bad day. But maybe they are just sleep-deprived or overworked. Maybe they have squabbled with a parent. Maybe they have looked in the mirror and felt they have aged or are out of shape,” says psychologist Dr. Aman Bhonsle.

But instead of dealing with things, they’ve gotten moody and angry or heaped blame on you, the partner who left their socks on the living room floor. “The socks are just the straw that broke the camel’s back,” he says.

This often tends to be a habit, he adds. And it could be something they picked up from early environments, according to psychologist Manjari Saboo.

21 Sensible Ways To Deal With Someone Who Blames You For Everything

Habits and old patterns of thinking are like comfy sweatshirts or well-worn jeans. They may not be flattering, but they sure are familiar, as author Dr. Brené Brown points out. So when we feel pain or anger or struggle more than usual, it is far easier to reach for these habits, or in this case, find someone to pin the blame on.

But being blamed for everything in a relationship can be distressing. You’ve been assigned a negative intention and your partner is essentially telling you that you are the problem in the relationship. So what’s the fix? Here are some sensible tips on how to deal with someone who blames you for everything:

1. Resist the urge to fight back

So how do you respond to someone who blames you all the time? According to Jayant, there are three typical traps people fall into when faced with constant blame: 

• They explode with anger
• Get passive-aggressive 
• Or, brush things under the carpet

None of them do much good. According to three psychologists on our panel:

• “It’s best not to react as arguing right away will only build the fight.” – Juhi Pandey
• “Try not to point out your partner’s blaming habit in front of friends, neighbors, or relatives.” – Manjari
• “By fighting blame with blame or reacting angrily, you may end up creating new problems.” – Aman 

So, tempting as it may be to react in kind, take a deep breath and step back. Remind yourself of the positives in your partner, let go of trying to establish who’s right and wrong, and see if you can respond from a place of affection instead.

2. Practice open communication 

My husband finds fault with everything I do. My boyfriend blames me for his behavior. If that is becoming a theme in your relationship, maybe some communication is called for. 

“Blame essentially points to a breakdown in communication. When communication is open, transparent, and clear, things stay small and get resolved early,” says Jayant. 

“So, practice some acceptance and patience, and keep communication open,” says Juhi. This also means that you will have to let your partner know you’re feeling blamed, especially if every conversation is turning into an argument and a finger-pointing exercise.  

3. Share some perspective – yours and theirs

Juhi has two tips on what to say to someone who blames you: 

• Present your logic
• Ask them, “Why do you think I’m the only one responsible?” 

This will help you distill the reality of the situation or get a better handle on where your partner is coming from. 

“See, if a person blames everyone for everything, that’s a different situation. But if your partner is blaming only you constantly, it points to discontent within the relationship. Maybe there is a mismatch between their expectations of the relationship and reality,” says Jayant. 

See if you need to manage their expectations in the relationship, or if you need to state yours more assertively, or if a compromise is required. Two people in a relationship don’t always know what the other is thinking, so talk about it.

4. Let them vent

How do you respond to someone who blames you? Listening mindfully to what they have to say is one way. Sometimes, the shortest distance between two people really is honest conversation.

If you’ve decided to talk things through, Jayant offers some advice: 

• Give your partner the time and space to vent 
• Do not interrupt them till they finish  
• Do not start planning your answer
• Do not think of a comeback or sarcastic comment

“This is a part of the deal of an adult relationship. Your partner is going to have some pieces missing. Until those pieces are fixed or healed, they are going to show behaviors you are not fond of. You have to find a way to handle it. And the same applies to you. You just don’t know it,” he says.

5. If you’re being blamed for everything in a relationship, take an internal inventory

As per Aman, when someone blames you for their anger, flips an argument on you, or when they hurt you and they get mad themselves, do a quick internal inventory. He adds, “See whether the person is making a valid point in the first place.” 

This will also help you understand whether the blame is aimed at you or not, whether you need to feel guilty at all, and if you need to make amends. Be impartial. Sometimes blame may be an attempt by a partner to shrug off accountability for their actions, break your confidence, or even, a sign of a controlling partner, opines Quora user Sharon Milner. 

“I suggest taking on the problem and asking them how ‘we’ can resolve it. This way, they can take some accountability for resolution,” she adds.

6. Identify the pain points and try to fix them

Here’s another tip on how to deal with someone who blames you for everything: Try to find out which situations or actions are triggering the blame, says Manjari. 

Jayant adds to this, “There will always be these pet topics that your partner may get easily worked up about. It could be about how you divide your household chores or how you raise your children. When you know what the pain point is, try to isolate it, and take small steps to fix it.” 

The key here is to be realistic with your expectations. Restoring a relationship takes time. Don’t expect the blame to end the minute you act on it. 

7. Notice the pattern

Wondering what to say to someone who blames you constantly? First, notice their behavior when emotions are high. It will help you understand their patterns and tendencies and come up with an appropriate response.

“There are certain things that will piss off your partner more, and certain things that will calm them down. Also, you will need to figure out the threats that are being used. Did they make threats but didn’t mean them? Or did they mean the threats that they made?” asks Jayant. 

“Then take half a step back and observe the situation. Work on understanding the pattern as it presents itself. What is triggering the behavior? Does it usually follow the same path?” he adds. 

8. Try to see your role in the problem

“Behind every complaint is a deep personal longing,” according to author Dr. John M. Gottman. So when they hurt you and they get mad instead or blame their behavior on you, maybe it’s a sign your partner wants something from you. Or, perhaps you really are guilty of one or two little things. 

Did you consciously or maybe unwittingly contribute to the problem? Is there any part you need to take responsibility for? Then do so. Jayant has some pointers: 

• Don’t just say sorry 
• Explain what happened
• Help them understand how it won’t happen again
• Make it up to them by doing something they value

9. Negotiate with your partner if you’re always blamed for everything

When someone is pulling out the blame card and tempers are high, sitting down and talking rationally may not always be possible. “So pick a more neutral time to approach your partner and negotiate with them,” says Juhi. Wondering how to negotiate with your partner? Aman has two suggestions:

• Ask them why they feel the need to constantly tell you that something is missing in you 
• Tell them that if they tell you things from a place of generosity and patience, if they ask you calmly, you may feel more inclined to look into them

10. Dissect the emotion behind the blame

Read between the lines, and the blame. When they hurt you and they get mad or flip an argument on you, shift your focus away from the words and try to understand what is being put across emotionally. Maybe there are some emotional needs that they are trying to express here.

“Perhaps that part is more important than what is being said in terms of facts and statements. What are they actually feeling? They may be trying to communicate this but because they are emotionally charged, they may not be finding the right words or striking the right tone,” Jayant says. 

“So focus on what your partner is feeling. You both need to work on that first before figuring out how you got there.”

11. Check if your partner is struggling more than usual

Blame often stems from an inability or unwillingness to deal with something. So when someone blames you for their anger or flips an argument on you, it could be a sign they are having a hard time and in need of more support than usual. 

If your partner is going through a difficult phase, then:

• “You may need to support them mentally, emotionally, and physically. You may even need to adjust a little for the sake of building a harmonious relationship,” says Manjari
• “Perhaps you may need to set aside your plans and be with them. By doing this, the intention you will be showing is one of ‘we’–of a team. This cannot be shown by saying, but by doing,” says Jayant

12.  Work as a team to find a solution 

Here’s another tip on how to deal with someone who blames you for everything. Try to shift the focus to a healthier, more collaborative mindset. This way if there really is a problem, the two of you can come up with a solution you both can live with.  

According to Aman, the challenge is to remove the opinions, examine the facts, and decide as a team: 

• What do you want to do with the facts? 
• Do you just want to sit on the facts? 
• Or, do you want to act in a way that is constructive and restorative for the relationship?

13. Try to find respectful ways to engage 

When someone does something we don’t like, we rarely pin it on bad circumstance. So when your blaming partner comes home and the dishes are spilling out of the kitchen sink, it is far easier for them to think that you’re not doing enough rather than that you must have had a busy day. And this seeps into the conversation, too. 

So finding better ways to engage or ways to fight respectfully could be one answer for how to deal with someone who blames you for everything. “Initially, be respectful and kind when you are giving feedback to them. Why does it have to become a nasty experiment?” says Aman.

14. Put your relationship above everything else

At the end of the day, what matters most is how much you both value your relationship. Because if you do, then you will be willing to look past their behavior, let go of some things, and work on the stuff that needs attention.

15. Get professional help if you’re still blamed for everything in the relationship

Another tip on how to deal with someone who blames you for everything is to bring in a mediator. “It could be a family member, friend, or a couple’s therapist. Someone who is objective and can bring greater learning to the situation,” says Aman. 

Jayant agrees. “You may need to get professional help to build an adult relationship so that when there is a problem or when you need to discuss complexities that are creating unhappiness, both of you can express your feelings, whether positive or negative, in a manner that is respectful and constructive, rather than losing control.”

If you’re looking for help, counselors on Bonobology’s panel are just a click away.

16. Set some boundaries

My husband finds fault with everything I do. My boyfriend blames me for his behavior all the time — If blame is becoming a pattern, then you may need to set some emotional boundaries. Sometimes, you may need to move away and have the conversation at a later time, says Juhi. 

Here’s what you can say to a partner who blames you for everything:

• I know you are upset right now, so can we talk about what’s really going on so I can help?
• I want to talk this through, so can we take some time to cool off and talk about this later? 
• I cannot have this conversation if you continue to blame me

17. Sometimes you may need to walk away completely

By now, you know how to deal with a man that blames his woman for everything or vice versa. But here’s something you must not put up with: toxic blame. Leave when things start getting abusive.

“When blame becomes vindictive, someone starts saying nasty things or tries to punish or play mind games with someone, it borders on emotional abuse,” warns Aman. 

“If you’re being blamed for everything in a relationship and you find it hard to tolerate it, or nothing is getting resolved, then it is better to make your way out of the relationship because eventually, it will hurt you and your peace of mind,” says Juhi.

18. Don’t take it personally

Why am I always to blame in the relationship? If that’s what you’re thinking, hold the thought. “Very few people are willing to accept that they are wrong, even when it’s obvious that they are. Some outright refuse to admit they’re wrong, while others try to justify their incorrectness with the actions of others. I wouldn’t take it too personally,” says one Quora user George Hatcher. 

Just because your partner says you are to blame, it doesn’t mean you are. Often, what people say is really more about them. So try to tune out the blame and lean into why your partner could be saying what they are saying with an open mind.   

19. Do not lug the hurt

When someone hurts you but blames you back, when your spouse says hurtful things, don’t pick up the hurt, hold it, rub it into your heart, snuggle with it, and carry it around for a long time, Brené advises. “You gotta see it and step over it or go around it and keep on going,” she adds.

If you carry the hurt with you, especially after the issue has been resolved, it’ll build resentment and bitterness with your partner. If hurt is all you feel, though, then it’s time to reevaluate if you want this relationship or not.

20. Watch your inner storyteller

When someone blames you for their anger or when someone hurts you but blames you back, it is important to watch your response. A lot of times, it is the stories we tell ourselves about situations and circumstances and the narratives we build around them that tend to pull us down. 

So own your story, connect with your truth, and live it. Don’t let blame muddy the script.

21. Stand up for yourself

Why am I always to blame in the relationship? If that’s a question that is coming up over and over, then it’s time to introspect: Have you left yourself open to blame?  

Sometimes, one partner may be very submissive initially, so the other may become emboldened to throw their weight around, says Aman. “If people blame you and you keep taking it, they will get used to treating you like a human punching bag. Eventually, you may end up going through depression or a negative spiral of behavior,” he adds.

“In my past, I have allowed myself to be mistreated because of a fear of confrontations … I know it’s scary but I must tell you that learning to stand up for yourself is one of the most freeing and confidence-building things you can do,” says Quora user Bonnie Lyons.

Standing up for yourself is more than simply confronting your partner. It’s about practicing accountability, with your partner and yourself. It’s about being true to who you are and not glossing over the bad or sugarcoating the uncomfortable truths in the relationship.

Left to its own devices, blame can push trust, faith, and pretty much all the good parts out of a relationship, making it tumble, like a bunch of Jenga blocks. So, find ways how to deal with someone who blames you for everything. Don’t let blame fester and wreck what you’ve built.

Singles tell me this over and over—Online dating is exhausting; I’m not getting the results or I don’t have time.

So, let’s focus on time. We all have the same amount of time in each day—1440 minutes. But we have time for Netflix, golf, tennis, travel and friends.

So, what’s your most precious commodity? If you said money, I’m going to disagree. It’s time and it’s constantly moving forward. So, time issues are never about time—-they are about your priorities! “I don’t have time” is an excuse. If not now, when?

So, it’s time to make time your priority.

Use time wisely…or others won’t take you seriously!

1. Teach others that you value time
Of course, I’m talking about dating. Been blown off at the last minute or had a date cancel? It’s probably you. Every single day as a dating coach I talk to singles helping them choose, communicate and set up dates. I’m just flummoxed when they want to write a message to a good prospect like this….”Yes, let’s get together soon”. Ugh. You’ve just communicated dating is not a priority in your life or you have all the time in the world. How about this one instead? “Excited to meet you. Thursday for lunch works for me or Saturday afternoon for coffee—which is better for you”? You’ve been specific….and shown that you are busy and used my favorite approach “the which” approach”.

2. Waiting or Thinking about a Potential Date
OMG, I get this all the time from my well-educated clients whom I like so much. We will be looking at a man/woman’s profile and they say, “Let me think about it”. WHAT!? What is there to think about? You are not proposing to them and planning a wedding. You are simply sending a message to see how they respond and gather a bit more info about them.

3. I’m going to save him/her.
Oh yes, I jump right on this one when we are looking at a potential date and my client says let’s leave him/her there for later. What’s going to happen later? I’ll tell you—they will disappear in cyberspace, never to be found again. Maria, 48, and I were looking at Jon. He ticked her boxes and was cute and funny. She refused to message him—-she wanted to wait to see if he’d reach out first. No, no, NO! Guess what happened? 3 weeks later Maria did and she had a very nice reply from Jon saying he’d met someone 10 days ago and had been out on a few dates with her and wanted to see where it would go. He wished her the best. Maria, that someone could have been you!

4. The biggest waste of time is doing something efficiently that you shouldn’t do at all.
Hmmmm, what does that mean? Michael, a 58 year old ER doc (name changed!) client of mine would tell me on our weekly coaching calls that he went online every night last week, spent an hour, looked at photos, skimmed profiles—–then a week later wanted to show me the ones he liked. Time waster. Of course, half of them were long gone by then. Immediately what Michael should be doing is messaging them—how does viewing get you anywhere? Well, Michael and I have this under control now and he went on 2 dates last week and has one set for tomorrow.

Priorities. Time. I don’t expect you to make online dating your entire life. But I do expect you to listen and implement the skills I teach as they get results! That’s why you are paying me the big bucks—for success in a timely manner.

That’s actually why I do the 15-minute screening call before I take on a new client. Yes, I want to make sure it’s a good fit and I can help. But, will you be able to listen to me (and not your friends) because I want you in my over 60% success column? And to have fun on the journey with me.

Happy Dating!

The new era of social media and the internet has brought an increasing scope of awareness and self-reflection. Unlike the times of our parents and grandparents, marriage is more of a commitment than an obligation for the newer generation. That being said, the number of divorces in our country has increased with time. According to Divorce Rate & Statistics (2022), approximately 50% of marriages in 2022 will end in divorce. If you find yourself sitting on your couch with a hot cup of mocha questioning your relationship status, then you need to be thoroughly educated on the signs of a dying marriage. 

21 Subtle Signs Your Marriage Is In Trouble

Is there a voice in the back of your head constantly nagging you that something in your relationship needs to be fixed? Marriage problems may not necessarily mean the end of your partnership. Before it’s too late, recognizing these warning signals can actually save both you and your relationship. If maintaining your marriage is vital to you, you shouldn’t put it off for too long.

It is a known fact that marriages can be challenging. You are spending the rest of your life with this person, so there will undoubtedly be ups and downs. Some marriages, though, appear to have problems more frequently than others. These problems can range from communication problems to neglecting your appearance/health to a lack of intimacy. But don’t worry; we are here to help you spot these signs and hopefully save your marriage. Here are 21 subtle signs your marriage is in trouble. 

1. You’ve been noticing communication problems

Communication is a crucial link to the success or failure of any kind of relationship. Lack of communication is a straightforward sign of marriage trouble. One of the early signs your marriage is in trouble is when couples start communicating less and less with each other. 

“Marital therapists also rate dysfunctional communication as the most frequent and damaging problem they confront in their work with couples,” says Frank D. Fincham in his book The Routledge Handbook of Family Communication.

The top five reasons for the lack of communication in marriages are stated below:

• Ignorance
• Disrespect
• Lack of love
• Complacency
• Lies

2. You experience the first signs of abuse in your marriage

This is one of the first things to look for when assessing if your marriage is in jeopardy. Cara, a doctor from Chicago, shares with us, “I told my friends that I think my daughter’s marriage is in trouble. But I didn’t know how to broach the topic with her. So I sent her a video on domestic abuse, and talked about how kids need to tell their parents when there are initial signs of trouble in their marriage, and that parents need to believe their kids so that it doesn’t lead to abuse of any kind.”

She adds, “That’s when she opened up. I was shocked. I immediately asked her to come back home and we arranged for couple’s counseling for them soon after.” If someone you know is going through the first few subtle signs of abuse, help them take the necessary steps toward their safety. These could be indications like:

• Denial: Denial involves the abuser avoiding responsibility and making the victim feel like all the problems are their own fault
• Yelling: This can become a routine in an argument and can make conversations unintelligent
• Gaslighting: Gaslighting involves the abuser making the victim doubt their memory, judgment, and mental stability. The tactics can slowly wear down the victim and cause them to crumble

3. You’re emotionally dependent on someone else

Even though it’s healthy to have emotional connections with people outside of your relationship, yet in some cases, it could be a sign of a troubled marriage. A marriage can witness serious issues if you find yourself frequently complaining about your spouse to your child or a close friend instead of discussing your issues with your partner and looking for practical solutions.

Basically, you are robbing yourself and your partner of the potential to develop an understanding if you find that you are unloading your marital problems on someone else.

4. There’s been withdrawal from family and friends

If you can’t let go of that gnawing feeling that your spouse is slowly pulling away from you and the family, it can be a warning sign of serious issues in your marriage. It is important to note that everyone needs breathing space in all sorts of relationships from time to time.

However, complete withdrawal from family and friends by either of you will lead to an unhappy marriage. To resolve this, spend some time talking to your spouse about what’s happening in their life and why they feel disconnected.

5. A neglect of appearance and grooming marks the start of a troubled partnership

If you’re not taking care of your appearance, it may be a sign that your marriage needs some work. You’re no longer putting in the effort to be your best self for your relationship. You may even dress purposefully so your spouse finds you unappealing to avoid intimacy. In any case, not caring about how you look is a subtle sign of your lack of interest in looking good for your spouse, or even yourself. 

6. It’s been a while since you were intimate with one another

The reduction of intimacy between you and your partner is an indication that something is amiss. It’s not even just about sex. If you no longer caress, hug, or touch each other fondly, it is one of the early signs your marriage is in trouble.

“You both need to communicate your intimacy needs to each other unhesitantly, in a congenial manner, without sounding accusatory. Your partner will not know what you expect during intimacy unless you say it clearly,” advises India’s top sexologist and professor Dr. Rajan Bhonsle, MD.

7. You’re never really ‘off’ work

According to research, short-term and long-term work overloads significantly affect marriages. If you find that you can never relax and enjoy your time off from work because you are constantly worrying about it, then you are clearly inching toward marriage trouble. You need to be able to put your work on hold and simply unwind and enjoy yourself without experiencing work stress or anxiety throughout the day.

If you cannot do that, then it indicates that you’d rather be invested in work than spend time with your spouse, and it could be one of the key signs your marriage is over.

8. You don’t spend time together

Finding time for each other can be difficult if you’re both always working late hours, taking care of the kids, or just generally busy with other things. Additionally, even if you do have some free time, you might avoid spending it with your partner.

Feelings of estrangement and resentment may result from this. You can begin to feel more like a roommate than partners in your marriage. This separation could develop into an emotional affair or perhaps physical infidelity if you’re not careful.

9. There are early signs of disrespect toward each other

Your marriage is in trouble if you catch yourself treating your partner disrespectfully. It will not only harm your relationship but will also eventually lower your spouse’s self-esteem. They can begin to think they are genuinely worthless as a result of backhanded compliments or sarcasm over time. Some common signs of disrespect in marriages are stated below:

• They are unapologetic and defensive when they are at fault
• They constantly try to change your personality
• They fail to keep their promises

If you discover that you, too, behave a little disrespectfully on a daily basis, it’s time to stand back and re-examine your marriage. A pleasant, healthy relationship cannot be built without respect. 

10. Resentment is a sign your marriage is in trouble

Resentment is one of the most serious issues in marriages. Love is on its way out of the relationship if you find yourself always harboring grudges against your partner. Unresolved disputes are frequently the root of resentment, which can swiftly develop into poisonous rage and bitterness.

Krista Jordan, in an article wrote, “Any kind of betrayal (financial, sexual, etc.) can lead to strong feelings of resentment.”

11. Unresolved disputes keep coming up

An unresolved dispute has the potential to end your marriage if you’re not careful. To build and maintain a healthy relationship, it’s crucial to resolve conflicts gently, quickly, and frequently. 

The following are some indications that there may be unresolved tension in your marriage:

• You avoid conversations on certain subjects because you anticipate conflict
• You raise the same points repeatedly without ever coming to a conclusion
• You frequently go to sleep irritated
• You discover that you are always watching your partner’s behavior and words for signs that they are misguided or ‘wrong’
• It’s crucial to act toward ending the conflict(s) if any of this seems familiar.

12. You both keep arguing

Arguing is an incredibly normal part of any relationship, but if it’s constant, then it can put an immense strain on couples and can lead to some serious issues in marriage. Maybe you and your spouse are constantly arguing about the same things, or you keep getting into arguments over the pettiest things, or one of you may even keep digging up past issues. Whatever the situation may be, constant arguing is one of the early signs your marriage is in trouble. 

According to Dr. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser of The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, constant bickering in a marriage is so unhealthy that it can actually make you physically sick.

13. Boredom has set in

Real-life creeps in after the initial thrill of the wedding and honeymoon wear off, and the daily routine can begin to feel reasonably mundane. It’s crucial to let your partner know if you’re getting bored in your marriage. If ignored, boredom, which is frequently a subtle warning that something is missing in the relationship, might cause further problems.

14. Absence of support is another sign your marriage is in trouble

It’s critical to feel a strong base of support in a relationship. If you discover that you frequently turn to friends and relatives for help rather than your spouse, then it indicates the absence of support from their side.

It may be time to discuss your needs and see if anything can change if you don’t feel like your partner is supporting you emotionally. Here’s what you can say to them:

• Instead of saying “You should do this/that”, try saying “I need you to do this/that for me”. Prioritize your need in the statement, not what they are ‘not’ doing
• Sometimes you just need to vent, but your partner keeps giving you suggestions. In this case, say, “I just need you to listen to me”
• Lastly, don’t forget to recognize their efforts. A simple “Thank you for doing this for me” will make all the difference

15. You’re basically leading separate lives

When the husband and wife start living different lifestyles, it is one of the most subtle signs that the marriage is failing. Although it can take many different forms, this usually entails one partner growing apart from the other. It is one of the most obvious signs your marriage is over. This can mean that you may go on for days without having a proper conversation with your partner. You may find each other looking at your phones at the dinner table instead of talki about each other’s day. This can result into one or both of you feeling lonely in your marriage.

16. You or your partner is flirting with others

One of the most typical signs that a marriage is over is when a partner constantly flirts with others. While casual flirting can be harmless, the said partner may be on the verge of having an affair if they are being evasive with their phone and computer use.

According to research, some of the most common reasons for flirting outside of marriage are listed below:

• Lack of love and emotional connection between spouses
• Issues with self-worth
• Weak commitment
• Neglect from the spouse
• Unfulfilled sexual desire 

17. You’re disengaged from each other

Disengagement is one prevalent sign of a dying marriage. The central meaning of this is that one or both partners are no longer emotionally invested in the relationship. It can take various forms:

• Couples might cease discussing their shared future plans
• They don’t talk about their individual aspirations anymore
• There’s no curiosity about one another’s day
• They don’t notice things about each other, like a haircut, a new outfit, the preparation of a new dish, a new routine, a new hobby or passion, etc.
• You don’t feel compassion toward each other

18. You’ve been keeping score

Keeping a score is a definite way to increase stress and animosity in your relationship, and it is one of the most serious issues in marriage, regardless of who does more around the house, who earns more money, or who looks after the kids better.

According to relationship experts John Gray and Mark Gungor, men typically maintain scores by doing significant things (like buying expensive gifts or planning excellent vacations) and awarding themselves lots of points for each. Most things are worth no more than one point when it comes to how women count things. Men may not perform a lot of everyday duties since they think they are providing enough for their spouses. Wives continue to believe that their husbands are significantly underperforming, which is also valid.

19. The marriage is making you feel confined

It’s crucial to pay attention to your feelings if you feel imprisoned in your relationship. It can indicate that you are in an unhappy marriage.

There are several reasons you could feel trapped with your spouse:

• Your core needs aren’t being met
• You can’t express yourself freely; there’s fear/stress of judgment or criticism
• Your partner is being too possessive and insecure and has curbed your basic freedom
• They don’t give you enough space or scope to explore your individuality

20. You’re both creating diversions to sweep problems under the rug

Many spouses who are going through a difficult marriage start looking for band-aid fixes to disguise or distract from the actual problems in the union. Couples in this situation may do the following:

• Trying an open relationship
• Taking an adventurous vacation
• Talking about having a baby — bringing a child into an unhappy marriage is the worst thing one can do

21. There’s been a lack of sweet gestures

Even the smallest of sweet and romantic gestures go a long way. From taking care of your spouse when they’re sick, to holding the door open for them, every single act of affection indicates the presence of love and care in your marriage. If you find that your partner is not showing you love as they used to, then maybe that ‘spark’ just isn’t there anymore.

Immediate Steps To Take If You Think Your Marriage Is In Trouble

You should act right away if you believe your marriage is heading toward crisis. Try to address the problems as soon as you are aware of what they are. Seek out couple’s therapy if you and your spouse are having communication issues. It’s crucial to make an effort to pinpoint the underlying causes of your problems. Even if the situation seems hopeless right now, a fulfilling marriage is still attainable.

If you think your marriage is in trouble, you can attempt to salvage it by taking these immediate steps:

1. Make a list of every known issue

Any marriage that is on the verge of dissolution carries a great deal of unaddressed concerns. And if you want to keep the relationship intact, now is the moment to create a list of the issues and work toward resolving each of them. Talk to your partner and tell them how important it is to discuss the ongoing problems – before they get out of hand. This is an effective way to solve relationship problems without breaking up.

2. Improve yourself

It’s never too late to start over. So, learn how to have a compassionate and peaceful marriage and renew your commitment to one another. Learn how to show affection to your partner, reaffirm your vows to your new relationship, and say it out loud.

3. Get rid of the three A’s that lead to divorce

Anger, affairs, and addiction are the three A’s that lead to divorce. Any kind of negative habit is harmful to a marriage. If either one of you gets angry quickly, then learn to control it. Affairs are already considered the last straw in a marriage for the majority of people. Addictions come in many forms, including alcohol, substances, porn, and gambling. Work toward quitting the addiction before your spouse decides to call it quits with you. However, If it’s your spouse who’s suffering from addiction, give them a chance and help your partner get over addiction before you call quits on them.

4. Learn to voice your worries in a positive way

To be heard better, one must convey better. In an argument, make sure you have a positive approach when discussing your partner’s shortcomings. People make the mistake of being hostile and rude when it comes to an argument with their spouse. Next time, try to be as calm and collected as you can be when you argue with them, and gently voice your expectations. 

5. Increase your positive energy toward your partner

Take a step back and consider what you like most about them whenever you start to get upset. Think about the way they make you laugh or the things that made you fall with them in the first place. Reminding yourself of positive things like “he/she is always there when I need him/her” can help put out positive energy for them in your mind. Keep these traits in mind and allow them to alter the way you see the present issue. You can also make an effort to change your own attitude. It’s more likely that your spouse will return your positive energy if you are radiating it.

When two people are married, they make a lifelong commitment to love and cherish one another. But sometimes this bond can deteriorate. A marriage may end for a variety of reasons, but unresolved issues between two spouses are frequently to blame. It’s crucial to get counseling if you’re experiencing marital difficulties. There are numerous services available to assist couples in resolving issues and preserving their marriage, as marriages can be saved with work and dedication.

Dating may be the most anxiety-inducing part of life imaginable. It’s not supposed to be that way. Dating is supposed to be a fun, relaxing way to get to know new people and maybe even find love, but let’s face it: it’s really not as easy as any of it sounds. How and where to meet people, what to say, how to dress on a date, and all of those other little—or big—questions pile up.

However, you’re not totally alone as you try to answer these questions. First of all, we’ve got your back with answers to nearly every dating question you can think of. But if you’re looking for one-on-one guidance, there are experts who will work with you to polish up your dating chops. Dating coaches will work with you on anything from how to interact on dates to even helping with matchmaking. However, dating coaches are expensive, and results aren’t guaranteed. So how do you know if getting a dating coach is the right choice for you?

Here are a few points to keep in mind when you’re deciding if hiring a dating coach is right for you.

How Much is a Dating Coach? – Consider the cost

One very practical concern when considering whether or not to hire a dating coach is how much you’ve got to spend. There are consultants that may work with you for a single session at a set price to give you advice on how to up your game, and there are also those that function more like life coaches, where you’ll meet with them weekly or monthly to discuss your progress. So in that sense, you have a range of price points to work with.

Decide what you’re looking for—do you just need some help brushing up on the basics, or are you trying to figure out how not to freeze up during those first, vital icebreaker conversations? Sometimes you’ll find that issues you thought were small turn out to be more complicated than you thought, but use your instincts and don’t let a potential coach upsell you by preying on your insecurities.

Because it’s such a unique field, there’s no market rate for a dating coach—they can charge anything from the cost of a night out to thousands of dollars. Price is no guarantee of success, though.

Be cautious before diving in for a dating coach who requires a long-term commitment up front. Just like actually dating, you won’t know if you’ve met the right person until you spend time with them. A good dating coach will have an introductory meeting for either a flat fee or for free that will determine if you and your coach are a good match. Don’t feel pressured to sign on right away—or at all. Trust your gut.

Dating coaches aren’t mental health professionals

However, it’s important to keep in mind that coaches, unlike therapists or psychiatrists, aren’t required to be licensed or adhere to a specific code of conduct (although some coaches will be part of professional associations that do have codes of conduct), so there are no base-level standards you can expect from a dating coach. That doesn’t mean a coach can’t be helpful—they definitely can—but this is very much a “your mileage may vary” situation.

You may be thinking this doesn’t matter—after all, you’re just interested in upping your dating game—but this may be a good time to take stock and think about whether you’d like to talk to someone who’s skilled in the ins and outs of dating (a coach) versus someone who can help you address issues like anxiety or low self-esteem.

A coach may be able to help you with some of these issues if they’re minor, but if they’re lifelong concerns, it may be worth it to meet with someone with more professional training. There’s still a lot of social stigma that goes along with seeing a therapist, but all it means is that you’re investing in yourself. It’s not a failing to want to improve your outlook or self-esteem.

Independent dating coach reviews

If you do choose to go with a dating coach, shop around and take things with a grain of salt. Even if a dating coach has reviews or testimonials on their site, you’re unlikely to be able to verify that they’re legitimate.

You’ll do better if you search the coach’s name (or the business name) and see if there is any information on review sites. You may event want to check sites like the Better Business Bureau to make sure the coach hasn’t taken anyone for a financial ride. There are good dating coaches out there. But there are exponentially more that don’t deliver.

Patience is key

Before you invest in a dating coach, you may also want to take a little while to think about why you want a dating coach. Is the same thing going wrong with every date you go on or every conversation you try to start, or do you just feel like with the amount of time in, you should have seen results by now?

There’s no one timeline for love. If there was a surefire way to meet the person of your dreams with almost no time or effort, you’d have found out by now. Maybe all you need is a little patience.

On the other hand, everyone could use a little help now and then. Maybe you’re having trouble meeting someone who has the same religious beliefs you do, or maybe you’re having doubts about whether or not long-distance dating is right for you. And even the most confident of daters have trouble figuring out if the people they’re interested in feel the same way.

There’s a good chance a dating coach can help you with some of these issues, and may also be able to help you step up your style game or become a better conversationalist. But you might have just as much luck doing the research yourself, and saving some money in the meantime. After all, who knows you better than you?

This year, I reached out to a couple of my close friends about spending Valentine’s Day together and indulging in all of the loveliness and corniness of the holiday. We plan to dress up, eat as much candy as we want and just enjoy each other’s company. I’m even getting them flowers (shhh, they don’t know that part yet). Despite not being in a romantic relationship with either of them, I still wanted to show them they are loved and appreciated. Everyone deserves to feel that!

Which leads me to this—everyone can enjoy Valentine’s Day! From being single to coupled up, with a few “situationships” (a casual romantic or sexual relationship that is not more “established”), I’ve spent this day celebrating in different ways. Many of us have felt pressure to be in a relationship on what is known as the “most romantic” day of the year. But you don’t need a date for Valentine’s Day to celebrate.

Tea Parties and Heart-Shaped Pizza

My earliest memories of Valentine’s Day are from elementary school, when my best friend hosted tea parties to celebrate. Her family made every holiday special, but on Valentine’s Day they went all out. Her mom decorated the house with what seemed like a million pink and red hearts. I loved the themed crafts we did and the heart-shaped personal pizzas we made. But after a couple years, the tea parties stopped, and people became busy either spending the day with their significant other or wishing they had one.

I miss how innocent Valentine’s used to feel. It wasn’t about romance but just having fun with friends. I have to remind myself sometimes that it’s still possible to enjoy Valentine’s Day like this. I can have the tea parties, make the personal pizzas and give valentines to those closest to me, despite not being a little kid anymore. The love I felt when I was younger on Valentine’s Day is still there.

Middle School Changes

The idea of being in a relationship didn’t enter my mind until middle school. Relationships then consisted of awkward hand-holding or maybe a quick kiss on the lips before running away in embarrassment. It seemed like everyone cared more about saying they were in a relationship then actually being in one. Somehow it was like this made you more interesting and had the power of boosting your social status overnight.

It became hard for me to enjoy the holiday that I’d loved while seeing couples exchange candy and teddy bears. I started making fun of it while secretly wishing that was me. Everyone in these relationships appeared to be so happy and I felt like I was missing out on an important coming-of-age experience.

However, something I’ve come to realize is that not everyone was in a relationship, nor are they all in one now. It’s OK to be single on Valentine’s Day; the holiday isn’t reserved for couples! Everyone can have fun celebrating.

More Than Instagrammable Moments

The pressure to be in a relationship this time of year can influence people to couple up. But I’ve spent some years in “situationships” on Valentine’s Day and while I thought I’d be happier, I wasn’t. I kept asking myself, “Do I like this person as much as I think I do, or is it just Valentine’s Day?”

I now realize that sometimes the awkwardness of situationships can leave people confused about where they stand. Sometimes these relationships become deeper, but establishing them just for one particular day adds extra pressure.

Speaking of pressure, there’s also people showcasing on social media how they spend Valentine’s Day. Everyone wants to seem like they have the most interesting life, but in reality, it can be stressful trying to make your life “Instagrammable.”

You can’t stop other people from posting, so if you suffer from FOMO, maybe take a break from social media and focus on ways you can enjoy February 14th. Social media is just a snapshot of people’s lives and they’re often showing you one “polished” version of themselves. It’s easy to assume that everyone else is having more fun than you, but that’s not the case.

It’s Supposed to Be Fun

During my sophomore year of high school, I was around two months into a relationship and realized it would be the first time I was dating someone on Valentine’s Day. We were excited, broke teenagers who didn’t care much about what we’d be doing, as long as we were spending the day together.

My partner and I had been friends long before we started dating and were used to celebrating Valentine’s Day with our other friends. After talking, we decided that although we would do a few special things just for us, we would spend most of the day with our friend group. Some people may argue that our choice was a little unconventional, but I had a great time with my girlfriend and don’t regret making the day extra special with our friends as well.

I still opt to spend Valentine’s Day with friends. To help rebuild my relationship with the holiday, staying off social media has been helpful as well.

I encourage you to spend this Valentine’s Day doing something you enjoy. Whether that be spending it with family, friends, a significant other or even just yourself, there is no right way to celebrate love.

As with any interaction, there are certain things you should and should not say to a professional escort while on a date. 

In this article, we’ll provide a comprehensive guide on the dos and don’ts of interacting with an escort. These are things I learned by spending time with escorts near me. 

So you can learn from our mistakes and make sure your time together is enjoyable and memorable for all the right reasons!

Don’t ask if they have kids.

Asking an escort if they have children is considered rude and intrusive. It’s also a question that can make the escort uncomfortable, as it may bring up personal information they would rather not share with a client. If you’re curious whether an escort has children, it’s best to ask them if they’re comfortable sharing that information with you.

Don’t ask where they live.

When talking to an escort, it is important to remember that they are providing a service. This means they have boundaries and limits to their actions and say. One of the things that you should never do is ask them personal questions about their life outside of work. This includes asking about their home life, family, and friends. Not only is this inappropriate, but it can also make the escort uncomfortable and violated.

Don’t ask them if they can see you off the clock.

Asking an escort if they can see you outside work hours is a big no-no. This indicates that you are interested in something more than just their professional services, and it will likely make them uncomfortable. If you want to get to know them better, stick to small talk during your appointments and save the personal questions for another time.

Don’t ask them about their other clients.

Asking an escort about their other clients is also a major no-no. It’s not only rude, but it can also make the escort feel uncomfortable and even threatened. Not to mention, it’s just plain nosy. 

If you’re curious about an escort’s other clients, remember that it’s none of your business, and you should never ask them about it.

Don’t ask them if they use their real name or a stage name.

When you meet an escort, it is important to remember that they are providing a service. Escorts often change things about their identity outside of work for their protection. To use escort services, you must respect their safety and well-being. You can do this by not prying on their identity. 

Some things you can ask your escort:

So you’ve searched for “escorts near me,” and now you know what not to say. Here are a few things that you can say.

• What are your boundaries?

When it comes to sex, everyone has different boundaries. Some people are comfortable with casual hookups, while others only feel comfortable with committed relationships. And then some people fall somewhere in between.

• What are your kinks and fetishes?

– Advertisement –

Many things can be considered kinks and fetishes, so it’s important to communicate with your escort about what you’re into before getting started. Otherwise, you may end up being disappointed or even offend them.

Some common kinks and fetishes include bondage, spanking, role-playing, foot worship, and waterworks. However, there are many more outs there. If you’re unsure about something, ask! An experienced escort can tell you whether they’re into something.

Don’t be afraid to experiment and explore your sexuality with an escort. It can be a really fun and exciting experience! Just make sure to communicate openly and honestly, and everything should go smoothly.

Things to keep in mind when searching for escorts near me

Once you know the basic rules of what to say to escorts near you, you can rest assured that the date will be amazing.

When you are respectful, your escort can do her job of pleasing you in a way you will never forget. And I mean that in the best way possible. 

So keep things respectful, don’t intrude on her personal life, remember that she is a professional, and you’re sure to have a great date. 

To say that this is an area in which people tend to ‘go wrong’ with sex video chat services would be unfair. The reason is that until you have tried your hand (and other body parts) at virtual sex, you can’t be expected to know how it all works.

Let alone master the art of proper camera positioning and working your best angles like a pro. 

When paying for sex for your chat services online, you understandably expect a certain level of ‘service’ from the person you hook up with. Even so, the importance of not treating the whole experience like a one-way street cannot be overemphasized. 

If you want to get the most out of the experience, you need to put in plenty of effort from your side. Something that becomes much easier to do with a base-level knowledge of how to look good on camera, and what kinds of positions you can (and definitely should) try out.

Practice Makes Perfect

However, creative or conventional you get with your webcam sex acrobatics, you need to be ready for at least a minor initial learning curve. Practice makes perfect, and you can’t expect things to go flawlessly the first time at bat.

Not that this is necessarily a bad thing – a little light-hearted humor when things go slightly (or more than slightly) wrong can make virtual sex even more enjoyable.

Still, you’ll take plenty of pleasure and confidence from having boned up (pun intended) on a few top-shelf positions beforehand. Whether this is your first or your fiftieth time hooking up with webcam models, here’s a brief overview of several positions worth having a go at:

1. The Down facing Camera 

First up, this is the classic camera angle where you put your phone or laptop in an elevated position and point the camera downwards. You then kneel in front of the camera or lie on the floor, so your date can see your whole body. Downward camera angles combined with upward-angled lighting can be very flattering, making it a great choice for newcomers to try out.

2. Show and Tell 

Arguably the best option of all for first-timers, the ‘show and tell’ approach simplifies choosing camera angles and brings the excitement of submissiveness into the mix. This is basically where you put yourself entirely at the mercy of your date, who tells you exactly where to point the camera, how to pose, and what to do. Think of it as a tutorial from one of the best in the business on how to put on an unforgettable show. 

3. Striptease 

Mastering the art of the classic striptease can be fantastic for building confidence and treating your online dates to something they’ll genuinely enjoy. Planning and prepping in advance is essential, but it’s worth remembering that you can also seek tips and pointers from your online date. Again, you can ask them what they would like you to do, and their wish is your command.

4. FaceTime

Of course, there’s nothing to say that you have to broadcast a shot of your genitals to anyone you hook up with. If it’s something you are not comfortable doing, you don’t have to do it. Instead, you can keep the camera fixed on your face and show your date just how much fun you are having with your expressions and moans.

5. Standing Up

Quite a lot of men (and women alike) find that after experimenting with virtual sex while standing up, there’s no going back. You can use a camera in a fixed position and move around to your heart’s content, or keep it in your hand and mix things up with the angles.

6. Top Down 

You may need to indulge in basic DIY for this one, but it’s more than worth the effort. This is where you mount a wireless camera directly above your bed to give a full top-down view of your body as you lay on your back. You’re recreating the look of a ceiling mirror, which, for obvious reasons, can be incredibly hot. 

7. PG 13

– Advertisement –

Lastly, remember that there is no need for full-frontal nudity (on your part) to enter the mix if the thought of it makes you uncomfortable.

You can play around with camera angles in a way that shows the rest of your body (and what you’re doing with it) without having to show your genitals. Think of it as a soft core, PG 13 alternative to what normally happens on camera. 

The right accessories are essential to brewing the perfect cup of tea consistently. These accessories include teakettles, teacups, filters, and a teapot. You ought to know how and when to use these accessories.

The teakettle is used to boil the water for the tea. The teacup is used to serve the tea. The strainer is used for sieving the herbal wellness tea from the water. In contrast, the teapot is where the tea is being brewed.

As such, the teapot is one of the essential accessories of the herbal wellness tea brewing process. Selecting one can be an arduous process if you don’t have one. But in this article, we will guide you on the key things to consider selecting the best teapot.

Material of the teapot

Firstly, you must consider the material of the teapot. Teapots come with different materials based on the era and the country. However, the material used in making teapots comes with unique advantages and disadvantages. So, when choosing a teapot, you should be sure it is best for your needs. Below are the common materials you will find on the market used in making teapots.

Glass

Glass teapots are relatively common for their aesthetic. These teapots are beautiful and functional. Glass teapots are not exactly glass, as the material used is treated specially to make them more durable and heat and chemical resistant. Most manufacturers use a mixture of silica and boron tricarbonate, making it durable.

This teapot is best for brewing green, light oolong, and floral tea. But note that if you select this type of teapot, it quickly gets stained, so you may have to be careful about the tea you brew. Also, glass teapots are very hot, so be careful when handling them.

Cast iron

Another type of material used in making teapots is cast iron. Cast iron teapots are a common Japanese-style teapot. To the Japanese, this style of teapot is called tetsubin. But take note that not all tetsubin are teapots. Traditionally, this type of teapot was used for boiling water.

Today, cast iron teapots and cast iron teakettles are called tetsubin. But one way you can differentiate the two is that most cast iron teapots are coated with enamel. As such, you are not to use it for boiling water but for brewing herbal wellness tea, which may also serve decorative purposes.

Ceramics

Ceramics is another common material used in making teapots. Ceramic teapots come in different types, commonly porcelain, porous ceramic, glazed ceramic, stoneware, etc. But the most common ceramic teapot is a porous, unglazed ceramic teapot that comes from Yixing. This type of ceramic teapot is made of zisha or purple clay.

One of the advantages of ceramic teapots is that they are great at retaining heat. So, using it keeps the water hot for longer to brew the herbal wellness tea perfectly. But note that a porous ceramic teapot is best used to brew one type of tea. Unlike non-porous ceramic-like stoneware, porcelain can make different tea types.

Stainless steel

Finally, stainless steel teapots are another common type made of stainless steel. This type of teapot is durable and an excellent option when you want to pay less attention to the teapot. Stainless steel materials are non-reactive and tend to retain heat better. What this means is that your herbal wellness tea will stay hot for longer.

After using a stainless steel teapot to brew herbal wellness tea, it does not stain the pot. So, you can use it to brew different types of tea without the taste, aroma, or color of the previous tea you brewed influencing the next one you brew. Also, stainless steel teapots are easy to clean.

Size of the teapot

– Advertisement –

Another thing to consider is the size of the teapot you are getting. Teapots come in a wide range of sizes; the size you should acquire depends on how much tea you often drink. Opt for a teapot between 250 and 500 ml for brewing flavored blends of herbal wellness tea.

So, as you can see, getting a teapot is easier than you may have anticipated earlier. Knowing what you want and how each feature affects your brewing appetite matters most. When getting a teapot, also consider what will work best with whatever filter you have. Or better still, get a teapot that features a filter. With a suitable teapot, brewing that perfect cup of tea will be a breeze.

87. A little roleplay

Roleplay is challenging, daring, and sexy! Pick the role of your partner’s choice and ask her to do the same. Go ahead with whatever works best for both of you.

91. A sensual massage

Massages are the perfect antidote to a hectic day. This would also let your partner know that you’re aware of the pressures they deal with and support them too. Once your partner relaxes and eases into the massage, you can get a little adventurous and sensual with it. Once it starts to get steamy, take it to the bedroom…or the hot tub! 

92. Stay in bed 

Spending a whole day together increases the level of connection and bond between two people. If you have been spending less time together lately and jumping into making love seems wrong, take some time out. A lack of emotional connect could hamper the relationship’s progress. Once you have caught up and feel reconnected, let things take a naughty turn. 

93. Time out to explore

A great way to initiate romance in the bedroom is to explore each other’s sexual fantasies. If you are not aware of what your partner enjoys, you will never be able to please them the right way. Ask the right questions and listen. If you are comfortable and willing, follow their lead! 

94. Intimate conversations 

Whether you are in the bedroom or choose to take a stroll in the park, intimate conversations are a great way to ensure stronger physical intimacy in a connection as well. It fosters emotional understanding, which leads to great sexual chemistry.

95. Rose petals to spice it up 

Have you ever put the roses to good use? No, we do not just mean gifting a bouquet! Decorate your bed and the rest of the bedroom with candles and rose petals to elevate the feel. Watch her revel in the feeling of being cherished and adored. This will make her want you more.

96. A mirror in the room

Watching yourselves in the act can be a huge turn-on for both men and women. If you have been looking for ways to spice things up on the sexual front, throwing a mirror in the mix could be a great idea.

Place the mirror strategically in your room to get the best angle possible. Either place it somewhere that makes you both visible while you’re in bed or ensure a full-length mirror on the wall.

97. Play with lighting to set the mood 

A little bit of light is great when you want to get romantic in bed. However, a lot of it can hamper her experience and make her feel self-conscious. Ensure you are installing expensive or good-quality curtains that neither ruin the look of the room nor make the room light up too much! You can even put up some warm lights in the room for a romantic effect.

98. Give aromatherapy a try

Different fragrances trigger different sensations in humans. That’s why the right kind of aromatic candles can be a great way to get your girl in the mood. 

99. Bedtime yoga

No matter how crazy this sounds, it works. Certain yogic poses work great to improve flexibility and make you feel rejuvenated after an entire day of work! Here are some yoga poses for you to refer to and switch gears in your sex life. 

100. Do not forget the toys

An element of novelty is a surefire way to crank up the romance. If you want to make her feel loved and desired, spend some time focusing on her pleasure alone. Throw some sex toys in the mix and use them to get her to explore new heights of pleasure (with her consent, of course). And together, you’ll end up experimenting with things you may not have even imagined.

101. Read a book together

Escape to a different world together! Instead of reading different books, read the same book to enhance the experience. You can hold these cute little book club meetings every week and decide on a few pages to read and discuss.

These are 101 heart-melting romantic ideas for her that you must take notes of. Life without a little romance is a life of dullness that eventually wears out a relationship. Be kinder to your partner. Start by making her feel wanted and loved. No occasion, big or small, deserves to go by without a celebration. Whether it is her birthday, your anniversary, or Valentine’s Day, make sure it does not just “pass” you by. Life is all about making your special ones feel the magic!
