Is it normal for guys to check on other girls in social media? hindi naman daw mini-message or chat or ni-like ang posts.
Hi not totally about relationships but mejo related, anong mga pampagwapo tips kay mister? Like skin care routine or vitamins na nakakablooming panglalaki. 12 years kasi age gap namin ni mister, and me natural na baby face ako so mas mukha talaga akong bata pa than i actually am. Ayoko lang na naooffeend siya pag may nakakakita samin at mag siside comment na sobrang bata ng misis mo. So far sunblock lang pinapagamit ko sa kanya. Any suggestions, pogi people of ftalk?
Can guys be in a long-term relationship (like, 5+ years na) and still be waiting for "the one"?I have a guy friend kasi who is in a relationship with a girl for about 7 years already and recently I found out that he is unhappy with her but still chose to be with her because "it's okay I am waiting for the right woman". I was shocked.
Can guys be in a long-term relationship (like, 5+ years na) and still be waiting for "the one"?
Pero ang tanong how would you know na ikaw ang the one?
Triangular Theory of LoveThe triangular theory of love holds that love can be understood in terms of three components that together can be viewed as forming the vertices of a triangle. The triangle is used as a metaphor, rather than as a strict geometric model. These three components are intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. Each component manifests a different aspect of love. Intimacy. Intimacy refers to feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness in loving relationships. It thus includes within its purview those feelings that give rise, essentially, to the experience of warmth in a loving relationship. Passion. Passion refers to the drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, sexual consummation, and related phenomena in loving relationships. The passion component includes within its purview those sources of motivational and other forms of arousal that lead to the experience of passion in a loving relationship. Decision/commitment. Decision/commitment refers, in the short-term, to the decision that one loves a certain other, and in the long-term, to one's commitment to maintain that love. These two aspects of the decision/commitment component do not necessarily go together, in that one can decide to love someone without being committed to the love in the long-term, or one can be committed to a relationship without acknowledging that one loves the other person in the relationship. The three components of love interact with each other: For example, greater intimacy may lead to greater passion or commitment, just as greater commitment may lead to greater intimacy, or with lesser likelihood, greater passion. In general, then, the components are separable, but interactive with each other. Although all three components are important parts of loving relationships, their importance may differ from one relationship to another, or over time within a given relationship. Indeed, different kinds of love can be generated by limiting cases of different combinations of the components. The three components of love generate eight possible kinds of love when considered in combination. It is important to realize that these kinds of love are, in fact, limiting cases: No relationship is likely to be a pure case of any of them. Nonlove refers simply to the absence of all three components of love. Liking results when one experiences only the intimacy component of love in the absence of the passion and decision/commitment components. Infatuated love results from the experiencing of the passion component in the absence of the other components of love. Empty love emanates from the decision that one loves another and is committed to that love in the absence of both the intimacy and passion components of love. Romantic love derives from a combination of the intimacy and passion components. Companionate love derives from a combination of the intimacy and decision/commitment components of love. Fatuous love results from the combination of the passion and decision/commitment components in the absence of the intimacy component. Consummate, or complete love, results from the full combination of all three components. The geometry of the "love triangle" depends upon two factors: amount of love and balance of love. Differences in amounts of love are represented by differing areas of the love triangle: The greater the amount of love, the greater the area of the triangle. Differences in balances of the three kinds of love are represented by differing shapes of triangles. For example, balanced love (roughly equal amounts of each component) is represented by an equilateral triangle. Love does not involve only a single triangle. Rather, it involves a great number of triangles, only some of which are of major theoretical and practical interest. For example, it is possible to contrast real versus ideal triangles. One has not only a triangle representing his or her love for the other, but also a triangle representing an ideal other for that relationship. Finally, it is important to distinguish between triangles of feelings and triangles of action.Triangular Theory of Love (Sternberg, 1987)http://www.robertjsternberg.com/love/
In the sake of completeness, each permutation has an accompanying description.Nonlove ?refers simply to the absence of all three components of love. Nonlove characterizes the large majority of our personal relationships, which are simply casual interactions.?Liking/friendship is ?used here in a nontrivial sense. Rather, it refers to the set of feelings one experiences in relationships that can truly be characterized as friendship. One feels closeness, bondedness, and warmth toward the other, without feelings of intense passion or long-term commitment.?Infatuated love: ?Infatuation results from the experiencing of passionate arousal in the absence of intimacy and decision/commitment?like Tennov?s limerance .? Romantic relationships often start out as infatuated love and become romantic love as intimacy develops over time. Without developing intimacy or commitment, infatuated love may disappear suddenly.Empty love is characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. A stronger love may deteriorate into empty love. In an arranged marriage, the spouses? relationship may begin as empty love and develop into another form, indicating ?how empty love need not be the terminal state of a long-term relationship?[but] the beginning rather than the end.?Romantic love ?derives from a combination of the intimate and passionate components of love?romantic lovers are not only drawn physically to each other but are also bonded emotionally?- bonded both intimately and passionately, but without sustaining commitment.Companionate love is an intimate, non-passionate type of love that is stronger than friendship because of the element of long-term commitment. ?This type of love is observed in long-term marriages where passion is no longer present? but where a deep affection and commitment remain. The love ideally shared between family members is a form of companionate love, as is the love between close friends who have a platonic but strong friendship.Fatuous love can be exemplified by a whirlwind courtship and marriage ? ?fatuous in the sense that a commitment is made on the basis of passion without the stabilizing influence of intimate involvement.?Consummate love is the complete form of love, representing an ideal relationship toward which people strive. Of the seven varieties of love, consummate love is theorized to be that love associated with the ?perfect couple.? According to Sternberg, these couples will continue to have great sex fifteen years or more into the relationship, they cannot imagine themselves happier over the long-term with anyone else, they overcome their few difficulties gracefully, and each delight in the relationship with one other. However, Sternberg cautions that maintaining a consummate love may be even harder than achieving it. He stresses the importance of translating the components of love into action. ?Without expression,? he warns, ?even the greatest of loves can die.? Thus, consummate love may not be permanent. If passion is lost over time, it may change into companionate love.The diligent thing to do, as you are all budding psychologists I?m sure, is to create a list of all the people you know and categorize them on the basis of the type of love you have with them.Do these conceptions of love fit your relationship? Do you agree with Sternberg? Maybe you will realize your love is more full (or sadly less full) than you expected.Predicting LoveWhile we are on the subject, we might as well outline a bit more about the psychological study of love.Contrary to many of our fantasies about how love begins (stranger?s eyes meet across a crowded room and it?s love at first sight), the main predictors of love are much more mundane than many of us think.The largest predictors of who will be in a relationship are familiarity, similarity, and proximity. Psychologists have found that how familiar you are with a person predicts whether or not you will enter into a relationship with that person. That is to say, it is very unlikely that you will end up dating a complete stranger.Similarity is also a major factor in predicting who will end up together. Interestingly, much of the psychological research on this factor has found that the old adage ?opposites attract? is largely untrue. When you share similar values, interests, philosophies, etc., you are more likely to enter into a relationship with that person.Lastly, and most surprisingly, proximity predicts who will end up together. For example, studies have been done on college campuses where you can predict who will end up in a relationship together by actually measuring the distance between dorm rooms. The closer you are to someone in distance (you are in class together, you go to the same laundry mat, you live on the same block, etc.), the more likely you are to enter into a relationship with them.Perhaps this is why are fantasies are so appealing. Psychologically, little agrees with the hot and heavy ?stranger across the room? story. But hey, I?d rather live in the reality of love than lament over an unlikely fantasy.The Triangular Theory of Lovehttps://sciencebasedlife.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/the-triangular-theory-of-love/
^^based sa experience ko, if i have doubts na nilalandi ako ng guy, that means hindi nya ako nilalandi. Kasi if a guy is flirting it will be very obvious and hindi kelangan iquestion. Lols. But let's wait sa sagot ng my guytalkers here
