Michelle: For those who have just been hurt or are still hurting over broken vows or broken promises or are learning to cope with the recent heartbreak, now is the time for healing. It’s hard to pick up the pieces and start over. Harder when one hasn’t let go of feelings, emotions, memories, and pains. Once one is back to square one and the slate is again wiped clean, it’s good to start right when one is ready to start over. I read somewhere that the real pleasure is in returning to square one. A new beginning is a welcome gift. We’re all (or claim to be) experts in something. By the time we have survived several decades on this earth, we’ve become full-blown specialists in some walk of life.

Michelle: A friend whom I haven’t heard from for sometime sent me a text message that made me detect something was different about him or something was amiss in his love life. He said “you can only truly fall in love with one person. And the others? Well, they just make your heart beat. You’ll get to meet a lot of people but there’s only one to who you’ll fully give your heart. Sure, you’ll get attracted to many. But what you’ll have are just feelings. Whether you play around or not, there will only be one person for you in the end. It can be hard finding that person and even harder to feel that emotion. But I’ve been told, it can happen. I don’t know if my friend, who I know to be a player, has gone the straight and narrow road. Maybe he’s been hit by cupid’s arrow and has finally fallen in love. Is there such a thing as one true love?

Michelle: How time flies when one�s having fun! Or should I say how fun when time flies. Can you imagine that it�s 2008 already? It seemed only like a few months ago when I literally welcomed 2007 with a bang. After last year�s whirlwind of activities that saw many changes in each of our lives, it�s again another year of endless possibilities.

Michelle: There really are times that despite the man’s interest—texting heartfelt messages, sending bouquets of flowers or maybe even food—it becomes clear to him that the great gal he’s into is not feeling the same. Guys, you might want to know where you went wrong. An article I read says that maybe the answer is to learn the top turnoffs that make great women wave goodbye. If you manifest any of those characteristics, it’s time to change your approach. Turnoff No. 1 for women is a show-off. Even if a guy owns a yacht or has a fleet of luxury cars or maybe has a salary that can pay the debt of a small African country, does it really need to be divulged on the first date? Many want to make a good first impression, but you don’t have to blow them away with your hot air. However, sad to say, some women will want to date a showoff because she’s more likely after his money. In that case, she is not a great girl.

Michelle: There’s a not-so-recent phenomenon that has changed the way we relate romantically. I’m referring to cyber relationships found in this parallel universe called the World Wide Web where you can find anything and everything including love. However, there are peculiar concerns about love and relationships one encounters on the internet. For example, this girl whose relationship with a guy she has known for a year is mainly through e-mails. Though they talk on the phone a lot and chat online, she thinks that even if he is interested in her, there’s always a question if he likes her enough to evolve their relationship to a deeper level. It’s confusing when you exchange passionate e-mails or spend a lot of time chatting with each other and there seems to be no “development.” What do you think, DJ?
