Are you the girl that a guy would want to date? Or are you the girl that a guy would want to marry?

Some will claim that one cannot actually be certain about that esp if the relationship is in the early stages. Some will claim that couple will eventually discover between themselves that marriage is the next step.

But here’s the thing. If you’re an onlooker, can you tell if she’s the girl he would marry? How can you tell if a girl is just someone that this guy is dating, exclusively or not, and not someone he’s looking into spending the rest of his life with.

Are there qualities in a woman that can spell out “just for dating” or “ready for marriage”?

Personally, I’ve heard guy friends tell me that I’m the sort that guys should fool around with. I’m the marriage sort, someone that should be taken seriously. Before proceeding to lambaste my foolishness and gullible personality. They’re rough so I’d be tough. Pah.

Anyway, this caused me to wonder if there is such a classification. I’m especially curious to find out what guys think about this theory. Thoughts?

Twas a dozen. Delivered to my doorstep. Its aroma filled my nostrils. Heart had pounded for all its worth cuz of the exhilaration. Mixture of disbelief and surprised joy.

There you go. Here’s a clear indication of just of how much of a sap I am.

Peach wasn’t my favourite. But the gesture had captured my heart. The sweetness behind it had greatly encouraged my affection. Melted my heart. Swept me off my feet. Ah, such romance. Young, young love.

Court her. Woo her. Flowers will always play huge role. No matter how pragmatic you want to take on relationships or dating. Romance will always be a part of it.

For several months, I’ve come to know and respect one of b5media’s best kept secrets.  That being Marye Audet and her amazing knowledge of Home Remedies and Treatments.  I’ve often joked that Marye is Martha Stewart meets MacGyver.  I’ve laughed and told family that I really think Marye could take cat turds and paperclips and cure (insert incurable illness here) - practicing on being nicer and more PC :)

I’ve personally called on Marye for a few tips and am 100% sold after seeing the quick successes of her suggestions.

Whether your looking to remove ink from your favorite white sweater or get immediate relief from a nagging migraine - Marye is the best “go to girl” I know - stop over, drop her an email and see what you have lurking on your kitchen shelves that will solve your problem while saving you a bundle in office or service calls.

I’m so pleased to be introducing the long awaited Simply Home Remedies with Marye Audet.

I was stunned to hear of The Russian Vogue cover girl who leapt to her death from her ninth-floor Manhattan apartment over the weekend.  Reports say she felt confused about the direction of her life and struggled with a stomach ailment in the days before her death, friends told the New York Post.  While other reports disclose poetry she wrote in the weeks and months prior that indicate she struggled with personal relationships that expressed her own feeling of being misunderstood.

Ruslana Korshunova, a 20-year-old native of Kazakhstan, had lost a lot of weight in the last month and had trouble balancing her personal life and her demanding work schedule, her ex-boyfriend told the paper.

“I think she just gave up,” said Artem Perchenok, 24, who was with Korshunova on the last night of her life.

Are you like me in that we sit back and look at the beautiful, wealthy people and think they have it made?  They have fame, fortune, their choice of lovers - yet when something like this happens, it makes me realize they are all the more human.

Such a sad tragedy - Ruslana was so beautiful.  What a terrible loss for the world and her family.
