Can’t help falling in love? No one can!

It’s actually the truth: there have been plenty of people, believe it or not, who actually thought they could get through their entire long lives without falling in love.  But the inescapable truth is that human beings can’t help falling in love in some way during the course of their lives, because it’s really ingrained in our physiological makeup.  Even the science of love shows us that we’re programmed to need love and project love, and if you can’t help falling in love you’re in good company: neither can the rest of mankind!

So, what is it in our physiology that makes us need love, want love . . . and unable to avoid falling in love?  Some scientists and psychologists claim that because humans are social animals, and need to be surrounded in communities of people to survive, that we have developed a natural need to fall in love in order to be forced to stay around other people.  Evolution and natural selection may have a lot to do with the fact that you can’t help falling in love.

Then again, there are others who say that evolution and science have nothing to do with falling in love, and that humans are subject to a mysterious, unexplainable force that makes us desire the perfect person for us.  In this model, we can’t help falling in love because things are destined to happen a certain way, and there is no escaping the fact that you will meet the perfect person for you someday.

Regardless of which theory you subscribe to, you can’t deny that it’s really useless to try to escape falling in love.  The harder you try to get away from it, the more your natural physiology rears its head.  Face it: you just can’t help falling in love, my friend! :)

Addicted to love? 10 questions to find out now!

So, are you addicted to love?  Here at Romance Tracker, we know that the overwhelming power of romance can sometimes share similarities to the affects of a habit-forming drug, making you addicted to love and your significant other.  If you’re addicted to love, the symptoms are easy to define . . . but overcoming a love addiction might not be as easy as defining it!

So, is there anything really wrong with being addicted to love?  Well of course not, as long as you are addicted to the love of one single special person in your life!  Being addicted to attracting attention and love from numerous people might pose problems, but you could say that every old-fashioned romantic in the world is, in a way, addicted to love.

So check out list below to see if you really are addicted to love . . . but if you’re in a healthy romantic relationship with the person of you dreams, don’t let it worry you.  Being addicted to love can be healthy, exciting, and a wonderful testament to your romantic relationship!

1. You’re addicted to love if you just don’t notice other members of the opposite sex

After all, that special person in your life is the most beautiful image you could ever possibly wish to behold!  Everyone else pales in comparison with them.

2. You’re addicted to love if your committed relationship is exciting to you

Being in a committed relationship with that special someone isn’t frightening to you, but rather is exciting, enticing and exactly what you want in your life.

3. You’re addicted to love if hanging with your friends isn’t as cool to you anymore

You used to love being with your friends and couldn’t imagine ditching them for anyone else, but hanging out with them just isn’t as important as being with that special someone now.

4. You’re addicted to love if you don’t mind spending your money or time

So what if you spend all day wasting time with your lover or spend a little too much of your hard-earned cash on dinner and other fun stuff?  There’s no such thing as wasted time or money when it comes to making them happy.

5. You’re addicted to love if you want to impress your lover

Making yourself a better person in order to impress that special someone has become very important to you, and nothing makes you feel better than when they are proud of you.

6. You’re addicted to love if you want to learn all you can about your lover

A lifetime may not be enough time to learn everything you want to know about that special someone.  Their likes, dislikes, what makes them tick . . . all are important to you.

7. You’re addicted to love if you start caring more about your physical appearance

Being attractive to your special someone has become extremely important to you, and you try everything you can think of to make them enjoy the way you look as much as you love the way they look.

8. You’re addicted to love if you care more about your lover’s happiness than your own

Making them happy makes you happy, plain and simple.  Their comfort and happiness has become more important in your life than your own.

9. You’re addicted to love if everything around you reminds you of your lover

The clouds in the sky, the people who pass you on the street; everything seems to make you think of your special someone, and you can’t stand to be away from them.

10. You’re addicted to love if you think about your lover all the time

Maybe this is why everything you see reminds you of them!  That special someone is always on your mind, and you’re addicted to thinking about them, even in your dreams.

The flavor of love: what does true romance taste like?

Before you laugh at the title of this post, “the flavor of love” is meant to put a smile on your face!  We’ve looked at love from many different angles here on Romance Tracker, and sometimes it’s fun to ask a silly question about love to get your romantic wheels turning and unwind a little bit.  So, it’s time to ask yourself: what’s the flavor of love?

By asking “what’s the flavor of love,” I mean that if you had to assign a taste to true love that most closely resembled romance and brought it to mind, what would it be?  Is the flavor of love chocolate, or vanilla, or some other sweet treat?  Or is the flavor of love more like wine or one of your favorite fruits?  There are endless options when it comes to your definition of the flavor of love!

Just like every other aspect of a romantic relationship, the flavor that you assign to love is completely personal and different for every individual.  No one romantic relationship is exactly like another, and when it comes to the perfect music, vacation spots, and foods to compliment your romance, the only requirement is that it makes both of you happy!

So, why don’t you ask your sweetheart what they think the flavor of love is?  Can you and your lover think of any special meal or treat you shared together that could define your romance?  The flavor of love for you and your significant other could be anything at all!

And if you don’t have a special flavor of love yet, it’s time to go out and find it!  Why not treat yoursweetheart to a romantic dinner or snack tonight . . . and perhaps the two of you could discover the flavor of love together!   

Love spells: cast a magic spell of romance

Magic love spells and love potions are the subject of countless stories, movies and daydreams.  Who wouldn’t want to cast a magical love spell or drink a magic love potion that could let them attract the person of their dreams?  There’s a reason why magic love spells are so popular in mass media: because they’re fun to imagine!

Real magic love spells and romance potions, of course, are hard to come across.  While magic fairytale love and storybook romance seem undeniably real when we are children, the reality of a world that is absent of love spells and magic can make some people cynical about pure romance and true love.

But what if I told you that magical love spells, in a way, really do exist?  And that you can cast a love spell of your own that can bring more romance, happiness and magic to your life?

 It’s true!  Although casting a real magic love spell doesn’t involve magical ingredients or ancient incantations, it can have magical effects on your love life.  And the secret to casting your own love spell is in three simple steps: confidence, optimism and perseverance.

It may sound silly, but adding the magical combination of confidence, optimism and perseverance to your romantic life really can act like  the love spells you see in the movies.  And just like in the love spells from the movies, if you miss one essential ingredient before you cast the spell, it could all go wrong.

So take our word for it: there is a way to bring the magic of romance into your life and cast your own love spell . . . and you don’t have to go anywhere for the ingredients.  But you will have to work hard to be confident in yourself and your talents, be optimistic the you’ll find love in the future, and never give up in your goal to find that perfect person.  Follow those simple rules, and your magic love spell is sure to bring romance into your life! 

Why having a sense of humor is important to your relationship

So, when life hands you problems, are you able to take them in stride and laugh off the inevitable, unavoidable hassles and annoyances that come your way?  You see, some of the tricks to being successful in life are useful in encouraging romance in your marriage or relationship, too . . . and one of those important romantic ideas is having a sense of humor!

Learn to see the lighter side of things 

In many instances, taking your relationship too seriously is more dangerous to your romance than not taking your relationship seriously enough.  Developing a sense of humor about events that you can’t change is a great way to make your relationship more resilient, fend off a breakup or divorce, and make your husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend more comfortable with you.

So, does that mean you should laugh off every serious problem that life hands you?  Of course not!  But having a sense of humor does mean that you allow yourself to see the lighter side of situations that you can’t change . . . and let yourself laugh off your challenges every now and then!

Don’t let minor annoyances gain control of your life! 

Illnesses and threats to your relationship or marriage are hardly humorous, and laughing in the face of serious problems such as these would be silly and probably make your sweetheart feel pretty rotten.  But taking smaller problems and annoyances too seriously is giving outside influences more control over your happiness than they deserve.  By developing a thicker skin and laughing at minor challenges, you rob them of their power to control your life . . . and you make your romance even stronger!

So the next time you feel like getting upset over something that really has no consequence, try laughing at the annoyance instead.  You’ll be surprised at how much it improves your life, your romance . . . and you!

L’Amour De Blog: 3 reasons why blogging is like being in love

For those of us who are addicted to blogging (who, me?) the symptoms of l’amour de blog are all too familiar.  The lump in the throat and twinkle in the eye when we gaze at a newly-uploaded banner image; the sinking feeling when we realize that the day’s events will keep us from checking our stats for hours; the deep sense of pride when months of hard work and dedication translate into a modest jump in Technorati rank. 

You unfortunate masses who’ve never experienced a deep, meaningful relationship with a blog have missed out on an achingly poignant truth: blogging is a lot like being in love.  In fact, for thousands of dateless programming junkies across the globe (don’t look at me!), the blogosphere is the closest they’ve ever actually gotten to going steady.

So if you’re a blogger, check out the following list of the top three reasons why blogging is like being in love . . . and look closely for any familiar symptoms.  If this post sounds all too familiar, your relationship with your blog may have already gone far beyond the platonic . . . and entered into the mysterious, intoxicating world of l’amour de blog.

 1.  In Your Eyes, Your Blog is Flawless

They say that love is blind, and nothing gives that old adage more weight than your infatuation with your blog.  You’ve spent endless hours making sure everything on your blog is just so: the banner image, the buttons, the sidebar, the links.  Heck, you even forced yourself to learn HTML just so you could figure out how to make the color of your anchor text match your blog’s overall scheme.

Yup, to you, your blog is beautiful . . . and that can be a good thing.  But not always, buster.  If you let the stars in your eyes make you blind to serious aesthetic problems on your site, you’re going to end up losing visitors.  That’s why you shouldn’t always trust your own judgement when deciding what works best on your blog.

Just as you do when you start dating a new person, ask people whose opinion you respect what they think.  Does your blog really look as good as you think, or are there changes you could enact to make it more friendly and functional?    

2. Every Moment Away From Your Blog is Like an Eternity

The evenings and lunch breaks you spend with your blog seem to go by all too quickly, and when it’s time to leave the computer and tend to other things your stomach churns with a painful longing.  You daydream about your blog when you can’t be in its comfortable embrace: about the next post you’re going to write, about rearranging the widgets on your sidebar, about getting that next big link.

Missing your blog when you can’t be near it is understandable, but remember one thing: time away from the one you love is necessary for your own sanity.  Spend too much time with your blog, and your relationship will burn out and crash before the next Page Rank update.

So force yourself to spend time away from your blog and do things that normal people do.  You know: go to work, play with the kids, get some exercize.  Your blog—and the living, breathing human beings in your life—will thank you for it.

3. The More You Put Into Your Blog, the More You Get Back

Just like a romantic relationship, the more time and effort you expend improving your blog, the more recognition and approval you’ll get.  Also like a romantic relationship, a large percentage of them end up failing because the participants just don’t want to commit to the amount of work it takes to really create something special.

The early months of your blogging relationship will sometimes feel like all work and no reward, but in reality you’re making a gradual investment that might not show returns until much further down the road.  So don’t reach for the easy way out and ”divorce” your blog when things start to get tough.  Remind yourself of why you fell in love with it in the first place, force yourself to write a few more posts, and weather the storm.

Remember: It’s the bloggers who are truly committed to posting, and who don’t let the rough patches get to them, who eventually find great success and happiness in the blogosphere.  In the not-too-distant future, when you and your blog are celebrating your first anniversary together, you’ll be thankful that you stuck it out.

10 reasons why blogging is like dating

old-fashioned-romance.jpg

Hey, did you know that learning about what works and what doesn’t work in blogging is a great way to polish your dating skills, too? It’s true! At its core, creating a successful blog is about communicating well, connecting with your audience, and putting on your best face . . . each of which are great romantic ideas for improving your personal relationships, as well.

So does this mean that the most successful bloggers have the best relationships, too? I don’t know the answer to that, but it sure seems that Darren Rowse, Alister Cameron, John Chow and Dan and Jennifer do a great job of injecting the same creativity, passion and intensity into their relationships as they do into their ultra-successful blogs. Having a great blog may not guarantee that you’l have a great dating life or marriage, but following the same secrets of success will certainly put you on the right track.

Luckily, you don’t have to start your own blog to learn what those secrets are. The top ten are listed below, tested and refined by millions of bloggers across the globe.Whether you use them to improve your dating life or your blog is up to you. Just remember: you can’t kiss a computer screen! :razz:

Top Ten Reasons why Blogging is Like Dating

1. First impressions are everything.

Sure, you may have plenty of useful, exciting stuff to offer someone, but they’ll never get a chance to find out if you don’t set the stage with a great first impression.

In dating, that’s done by taking good care of your physical appearance, having a positive attitude, and showing interest in your date. In blogging, you need a clean, professional design, easily-accessible and interesting content, and a readily-defined subject so your visitors know what you’re about right away.

2. You should never pretend to be someone you aren’t.

Playing a role and acting like you’re someone else may get you somewhere in the short run, but if you aren’t the person you’re pretending to be, you’re going to get found out eventually. If you’re trying to fool your date into thinking you’re an expert on a topic you have no passion for, they’re going to figure your out sooner or later.

The same goes for blogging. Blog about what you enjoy, not what your think will bring you money and fame.

3. Finding the one for you can take time.

What are the chances that your very first date will lead you into the arms of your perfect match? Close to zero. That special someone may be out there, but you may have to search for a long time to find them. Just because you’ve suffered from a string of bad dates, you shouldn’t give up hope and stop trying.

Similarly, just because you’ve had some failures with different blogs doesn’t mean you should turn off the computer and quit. Finding your niche in the blogging world can take time, too. Your failures are giving you more experience, and that next blog just might be the one that takes off for you.

4. A bad reputation can ruin your chances.

Deserved or not, a bad reputation can sabotage an opportunity to start a relationship with an interesting new person. Sure, it’s possible to put your past behind you and become a better, more appealing person, but overcoming a bad reputation can take a long time and a lot of hard work. “Oh, I’ve heard of you” is never something you want to hear on a first date.

In the blogosphere, a bad reputation can be earned just as easily. Whether it’s through rude comments on other blogs or sloppy and unprofessional writing on your own, a bad blogging reputation can follow you around for years. Remember: everything you ever post online is going to be there for everyone to see for a long, long time!

5. Good communication is essential.

If you can’t communicate to your date about who you are, your passions and your dreams, it will probably end up being a pretty short evening. Creating a great romantic relationship is all about communicating, getting to know each other, and learning about what makes each other tick. Having a pretty face is fine, but without communication skills, you’re probably going to face a string of lousy relationships.

Communication is just as important, if not moreso, in blogging. You can distract a new visitor with flashy aesthetic stuff for a few minutes, but unless you’re able to effectively communicate to them about why your blog is worth visiting again, they won’t be back. And you might have great ideas for posts, but if you can’t write or edit worth a darn, who’s going to want to trudge through them?

6. You should concentrate on what you have in common.

Having things in common with your significant other is essential in maintaining a successful romantic relationship, and the old adage about “opposites attract” is hogwash. One of the best ways to capture your date’s interest and guarantee a second date is by discovering what you have in common. If you discover that you just don’t have any mutual interests or experiences, it’s probably a good sign that you just won’t work out.

Having things in common with your blog’s visitors is every bit as essential if you want to build a loyal readership. If you find yourself starting to post on things that have nothing to do with your readers’ interests, it may be time to close up shop and start another blog with a new subject.

7. “Playing the field” can get you into big trouble.

There are plenty of people who do just fine with juggling several shallow, uncommitted relationships at once, but that sort of lifestyle will never let them reap the benefits of a loving, monogamous relationship. Having multiple relationships at once will make you less emotionally satisfied, less financially secure, and more at risk for a long list of unappetizing hazards.

And the exact same can be said for blogging! There are a few examples of people who have found success by starting a dozen blogs at once, but most people who try that just end up with twelve crappy blogs. It’s better to concentrate your efforts on one blog, building its readership and then branching out into other similar niches when you’ve found success with your flagship.

8. There’s nothing more attractive than self-confidence.

Arrogance is never an attractive quality, but a healthy amount of self-confidence is extremely appealing on a first date. Showing confidence in your abilities, lifestyle and unique qualities makes other people more excited about learning about you, and a confident, upbeat person is just plain fun to be around.

Showing self-confidence in your blog posts is a great way to build reader loyalty and trust. Never second-guess yourself, put your own blog down or back down in the face of inevitable criticism. Instead, present your content as professionally, confidently and optimistically as possible.

9. You’ll improve your chances for success if you make sure things are right in your life first.

Let’s put it bluntly: if you’re having serious problems with your family, career or mindset in your own life, it’s not the right time to try to find a person to share that life with you. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t allow yourself to get to know interesting new people until everything in your life is perfect. I am saying that concentrating on building a successful career, a successful relationship with your friends and family, and a optimistic outlook on life will help out your dating life immensely.

If you’re thinking of starting up a blog, make sure you’re in a position in your life to take on the responsibility. First and foremost, never assume it will be a replacement for your career. The livelihood that supports your family will always be more important than your hobbies, but plenty of bloggers have let their addiction to the blogosphere negatively affect their performance at work.

10. Learning to love yourself makes it easier for others to love you.

That good old cliche about “love thyself” is some of the best advice you can get to build a better, more loving relationship. Feeling good about yourself, and being proud of the things you do, is a great way to learn to concentrate on your best qualities and share them with those around you.

You may enjoy blogging, but have you truly learned to love your blog? Do you feel good about its unique qualities? Can you look through the eyes of your loyal visitors and see what they enjoy about it? Being critical of ourselves and our projects is good to a certain degree, but make sure you allow yourself to be proud of your blog’s best qualities. Learning to love your blog will let you offer your readers more of what makes it truly great!

Top 10 ways to kill someone

Before you start getting nervous, I don’t plan on doing a post any time soon about how to kill your husband, how to kill your wife, how to kill your girlfriend, how to kill your boyfriend . . . or how to kill anyone, for that matter! I doubt those are the kind of romantic ideas our regular readers are looking for, and if you are, then you’ve come to the wrong place. :)

But search engines aren’t only used for innocent research, as I found out today. While I was looking through my site statistics, I noticed that someone found Romance Tracker today by typing “10 ways to kill your boyfriend” into a Google search. Apparently my post on the top ten ways to make your relationship completely UNromantic now ranks at number two when you enter that search phrase.

I don’t understand why Romance Tracker is ranking for information on how to murder your significant other, but I doubt anyone intent on spousal abuse is going to find any useful tips here. It did give me an idea for a quick post, though.

I don’t want to disappoint those of you who came here looking for ways to kill someone, so here’s another Top Ten List that might help!

Top Ten Ways to Kill Someone . . . With Kindness!

1. Read something nice for them.

2. Write them a romantic poem.

3. Give them a romantic massage.

4. Make them a romantic meal.

5. Watch a romantic movie with them.

6. Write a list of your favorite romantic memories for them.

7. Write them a romantic email.

8. Send them a romantic greeting card.

10. Take them out on a romantic date.

Update: Now it looks like Romance Tracker is ranking for another disgusting search term, too.

Top 10 signs that you’re in love

Falling in love with someone is a wonderful, intense experience, but it can also be more than a little confusing to someone who’s never really had any romantic ideas in their head before. Love is an easy thing to define if you’re a wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend who has in your life already, but if you’ve never experienced it before, you might have a hard time figuring what the heck is wrong with you. Are you sick? Are you going crazy? Did someone cast a voodoo curse on you?

Well, probably not. The first early symptoms of being in love can mirror illness or mental instability, sure. :) But once you learn to really enjoy being in love and get used to the idea of having a little old-fashioned romance in your life, you’ll start to appreciate these weird new symptoms you’ve come down with.

So, are you really in love, or just infatuated? People who fall in love for the first time experience hundreds of unique and individual emotions, thoughts and feelings, but there are a few classic symptoms that most lovesick individuals tend to develop. Check out the list below, and if you have three or more of them, you just might . . . gulp! . . . be in love.

Top Ten Ways to Know You’re In Love

1. You’re in love if you think about them all of the time.

Well yah, I didn’t say that everything on this list would be profound or anything. This one is a no-brainer. If you love someone, they’re going to be in your thoughts all the time. In fact, you won’t be able to get them out of your head. Look at the rest of the indicators before coming to a conclusion, though, because this one could also mean that you’re just plain nuts.

2. You’re in love if everything reminds you of them.

Someone asks you to pass the ketchup and it reminds you of them. A flock of geese fly overhead and it reminds you of them. You get the picture. Oh, and for some reason, when you’re in love it seems like every new person you meet or see on TV or hear a story about has the same name as the person you’re in love with. I don’t know why that is, it just happens.

3. You’re in love if you care more about their safety and happiness than you do about your own.

For some weird and inexplicable reason, the whole “looking out for number one” thing you’ve been doing your whole life desolves away and gets replaced by an overwhelming urge to make sure that special person is as safe, comfortable and happy as possible. No, I’m serious. This totally because your number one priority. It’s kind of like getting super powers, in a way; you’d be amazed at what little-old-you is capable of when you’re trying to protect or provide for the one you love.

4. You’re in love if you start caring more about your own appearance.

Suddenly, without warning, you find yourself wanting to actually iron the wrinkled jeans that have been sitting in the dryer for the last three days before you wear them. If you’re about to see that person who you can’t get out of your mind, there suddenly seems to be a whole lot of reflective surfaces around to check yourself out in.

5. You’re in love if you’re actually interested in knowing more about them.

You can forget about the days when you went home from a date remembering absolutely nothing about the interests, career and dreams of the person you went out with. Finding out all about this fantastic person is your new favorite thing to do. If you could find a book detailing every minute detail of their life, you wouldn’t sleep or eat until you read every last paragraph.

6. You’re in love if you want to impress them.

You’ve always tried to be modest, but suddenly you feel like you’re a politician fighting to win the most important election ever in the history of the universe. You make sure that the faded newspaper article about you winning your third-grade spelling bee is left nonchalantly on the coffeetable when they come to visit. And you keep them as far as possible from that great aunt who loves to tell all of the embarrassing stories about you.

7. You’re in love if you aren’t as tight with your money or time anymore.

There was a time when the idea of shelling out your hard-earned money to buy someone dinner or a gift would have horrified you. Sure, you would buy an occasional round for your friends or bring grandma flowers on her birthday, but spending any more money than absolutely necessary just wasn’t going to happen. But now, no price seems too high as long as it makes that special someone happy.

8. You’re in love if hanging out with your friends just isn’t as appealing any more.

Remember when you and your friends made fun of the former buddy who ditched your gang to hang out with their new boyfriend or girlfriend? And when the thought of abandoning your friends to spend time with a member of the opposite sex seemed like sacrelige? Well you can try to deny it all you want, but you’re finding yourself constantly thinking about being with that special someone . . . even when you’re surrounded by your buddies!

9. You’re in love if commitment is actually starting to sound like something you could stand.

What, you commit to something that requires you to be faithful and responsible? Oh, the horror! What strange, evil spell has been cast upon you that would actually make you excited about a long-term relationship or even marriage with someone? Did someone slip something into your drink? Are you going insane? No. You’re probably in love, knucklehead.

10. You’re in love if you just aren’t noticing other members of the opposite sex.

Oh, the people you used to stare at are still there . . . you just aren’t noticing them anymore. For some bizarre reason, that special someone has suddenly become infinitely more attractive to you than any other person on the face of the planet. People who you used to think were good-looking suddenly pale in comparison to the one you’ve found yourself falling in love with.

101 fun, romantic names to call your lover

We’ve all seen it: two people who are madly in love and completely oblivious to everything around them, fawning over each other and calling each other pet names that make their single friends roll their eyes in pain. Heck, a few of us have probably even been that couple!

Let me get one thing straight: that kind of public display of affection isn’t one of the good old-fashioned romantic ideas we’re trying to promote on Romance Tracker. It’s one thing to be in love and be proud of it, but it’s another thing entirely to make everyone around you sick. Get a room, for crying out loud!

But having a secret, private pet name for your sweetheart really can be a good way to add a little fun and intimacy to your romantic relationship or marriage. Heck, even couples who promise themselves that they’ll never use sappy pet names usually use them eventually anyway! And here’s a warning: far too often, those cheesy pet names aren’t ones that we choose for ourselves. Sometimes we just have to loosen up a little bit, shrug our shoulders and learn to love whatever cutesy name our lover decides is best suited to us.

But remember: if you have to put up with sappy pet names from your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband you can choose a few of your favorites for them, too! Most pet names develop from unique experiences in individual relationships, and there’s no end of romantic nicknames that lovers have given each other. But there are a few stalwarts that have been whispered by countless lovers over the years.

So here’s a list of 101 of the most common fun, romantic pet names that you can use to flirt with your lover during those private times. Just choose carefully, and keep in mind that I say “private times” for a reason; bust out some of these sappy nicknames at the wrong time in public and you just might end up getting cold water tossed on you!
