A Dating Guide for Women: "Man Talk" Translation

When you first look at a man and a woman, you are able to notice the subtle differences between the sexes. It is when the two sexes communicate with each other, however, that the differences become truly glaring. This is because one is speaking "he talk" while the other is speaking "she talk."
Where this difference really becomes a problem is when you are in a relationship, and you need to know how to combine "he talk" and "she talk" into "we talk." So I feel like it's my job as a man and as a dating coach to help women learn how to understand "he talk" (or "man talk" as I like to call it), so that they won't need to hire a translator to understand what men are saying.
Women want men to express their feelings. They complain, "Why can't he just say he loves me?" or, "I wish he would just compliment me more."
What you need to pay attention to and realize, though, is that men do tell you they love you and compliment you... they just do it using their own language. Men, in fact, sometimes don't use words at all when they are communicating with you.
This will help you understand men's verbal and non-verbal language.

Sometimes it's not what men say, but it's their actions that are significant. It is necessary for women to learn to interpret men's roundabout way of communicating with them.
Here are 10 things that men say and do, and what they really mean:

1. He starts talking about how crazy all his single friends lives are, and then he tells you that he doesn't miss it at all. What most women will think if they hear this, is that he misses those days. This is not true. He says this because he is looking for confirmation that you feel exactly the same way. He also wants to communicate that he's ready to take the relationship to the next level.
2. Since you recently took him to your family's house for dinner, he can't stop talking about how much fun he had with your brother. What he means here is that he really likes your family, and wouldn't mind being a part of your family.
3. He teases you about things like how clumsy you are or about how you put smiley faces in every one of your emails. What he's really telling you when he does this is that he really likes you a lot. Remember that men are just giant boys... we tease the ones we love and ignore the ones we don't.
4. A man tells you he needs his space. So what does this mean to you? It means that you need to ignore him and not call him. Men love the chase. By not calling him, he'll start calling you and wondering what happened.
5. A man says that he really wants you to meet his parents. What does this mean in man talk? He's telling you that you are his girlfriend, and that he is ready to take it to the next level by getting you involved with his family. This brings us right to the next bit of man talk.
6. When a man calls you and says, "I want you to meet my friends on Friday night," this is as big as meeting his parents. He's introducing you to his pack. It means that he thinks you are attractive and sexy, and he wants to show you off to his friends.
7. After sleeping over at his house several times, he tells you that the next time you sleep over you should bring some things to make you feel more comfortable and a change of clothing. In man talk, that is basically telling you that he's wondering what it would be like to live with you. He also wants your things around.
8. You have plans with him on a Sunday, and you find out that he passed up floor seats to his favorite basketball team to keep those plans with you. What does that tell you in man talk? It tells you that he's hooked... and that you are his girlfriend.
9. He is watching one of your favorite shows on a night you're not together, and he calls you afterwards to talk about it. In man talk, what does this mean? By doing this, he's telling you that he pays attention to you, and he's interested in learning more about you and sharing more things with you. Men generally do not choose to watch "Project Runway" on their own. If we're watching your TV shows, we really like you.
10. He tells you, "I've cleaned today." What this means in man talk is, "I spent the day doing something I dislike more than anything." You need to realize that when a man says this to you, he really likes you. To most men, cleaning the house is just about the worst way he can spend a day.

Once you understand the hidden language and actions of man talk, you'll become far more secure in your dating and relationships. So the next time you go over to your man's house and he looks at you and says, "I cleaned today," you'll know that he really meant to say, "I must really like you, because I can ignore my mess most of the time."

my baptismal testimony

I have accepted JESUS CHRIST as my LORD and savior 5 years ago. It’s been quite sometime, and it took me half a decade to stand here, present myself and my testimony and shout to the world, what my heart truly believes in. For me standing here is not simple; it’s a life commitment and an obligation that I should be responsible of. It took me a little long, in GOD’s will. I attempted twice to be baptist, but every time I attempted to I always go destractions, seems someone is hindering me, I prayed for this 3rd time and I am glad that in GOD’s will I am here. Through this years I’ve been a lot of things, I even have encountered difficult situations, I’ve been spiritually down and up, experienced back sliding and still, in GOD’s grace, over and over it leads me back home. GOD made me taste the bitterness of life yet HE also did full me with the sweetness of HIS love. HE wanted me and my faith to be tougher than ever. HE showed me and taught me that all the aches have purpose, if only I will just listen to HIM, then I’ll know. I am not perfect. I am being tested by GOD. I commit mistakes, stumble and fall. I have hurt and been hurt. I have been disobedient and hardheaded. All through this, my FATHER, your FATHER, our FATHER, never turned HIS back to me. Still continuously embrace me with love, and gave me peace. HE is so great and merciful. For me HE is everything. HE showed me love and how to love; HE showed me forgiveness and taught how to forgive. HE is always with me all throughout. I am the person who don’t easily believe, because I have this thinking that “To see is to believe.”. But what is not seeing HIM, if feeling HIM in my life is more than enough. And I am so proud to be called HIS child.
