How To Stop Being Needy And Clingy & Save Your Relationship

Posted on by blogger

Women become clingy for different reasons but usually it has to do with the relationship we’ve has with our parents and our past romantic partners. This neediness can lead to your mate feeling frustrated and can lead to him ending your relationship. So that you can avoid a dating disaster, here are some tips to stop being clingy and reduce the neediness factor in your relationship.

Plan Your Together Time. Do you know when you’ll see him or talk to him again? If you don’t know you’ll be more anxious about your relationship. Have regular planned time together. A regular time to call or text, a date night, a regular day trip. It’s importand for both of you to make this time a priority.This planned time together can help decrease clingy behavior and give you something to look forward to.

You must learn how to trust him. You shouldn’t think “what if?” when you’re not together. Don’t worry about what might happen if he sees a prettier woman, if he sees his ex or if he’s on the phone with a woman. The “what ifs?” can drive you crazy. You need to focus on “what is?”. You need to remember waht your relationship is, what values it’s based on and stop stressing what might happen. Focus on the things that you know are true, not what you imagine. If he’s given you reason to think there may be a reason not to trust him, then that’s something you both need to talk about.

Have a life of your own. Before you started dating, you had friends, hobbies and things that you did with your friends. You become more dependent on him when you center everything you do around him because he becomes your source of happiness. The only person what can make you happy is you. Keep up with your friends and family, keep active with your hobbies and activites. You’ll be happier. You’ll be less fixated on him and you’ll have things to talk about.

Remember how wonderful a woman you are. Remember why he was first attracted to you. You’re smart and beautiful and fun. Remember you’re an amazing woman. If you have a problem believing this, write it down, repeat it throughout the day. Go around people that make you feel good and do things that make you feel good. You need to feel good about yourself. Confidence is sexy and makes you more attractive , and he’ll notice.

If you know why you’re being clingy, let him know. If he’s doing things that make you feel like you don’t matter, it’s time for the two of you to talk. When a woman doesn’t feel secure in their relationship, they start showing needy and clingy behaviors. Talk it out. You need to know if he didn’t realize how you felt, or if he’s just not into you. If he refuses to work on improving your relationship, you need to decide if you really want to stay with him.

Remember in the end you need to do what’s best for you, not him. So stop being needay and clingy and become a cool, confident woman.

Get Him To Beg You To Take Him Back

Posted on by blogger

So you not only want your boyfriend to take you back, but you also want him to come begging for you to take him back. This is kind of cruel, but hey, we all have our thing, right? If you want your boyfriend to come crawling back then you have to convince him that he is missing out on a good thing, and not only is he missing out on a good thing, but he will never find someone else like you in his life.

Your boyfriend will be begging you to give him a second chance once he sees or you make him believe that no other women can love him the way you do. Here are a few ways to get under his skin.

Ignore him for a while

This is an old tactic, but it works pretty well. If you ignore your ex boyfriend he will assume you have found someone else. When people break up they often want the other person to hurt for a while, or they want to be the first person to move on. Dont give your ex boyfriend the satisfaction of seeing you sulk or cry over him.

Youll only boost his ego and make him believe he must be really something if he was able to have this kind of effect on you. Ignore him completely, dont try to beg him for a reason why he broke up with you or try to convince him why he should want to be with you in the first place. Ignore him and youll attract his attention.

Flirt with other guys

You can wait until he comes around and then flirt with other guys in front of him. This will let him know that you are moving on with your life and not spending time thinking about why he dumped you. Your ex may want you to believe that youll never find a man like him again, or that you are not desirable to other men. Let him know otherwise by letting him see other guys beg for your attention.

If he sees that other people want you he may get the sense that he is missing out on something. The more value other guys put into you or the more you can make yourself desirable to other guys the more hell want you back if not just to keep you from the other guys.

Put your best foot forward with other people

Here is what I mean you want your ex to see you making it easier for other guys to get along with you than what you may have made it for him.

Dont get me wrong; I dont mean that you should be promiscuous, I just mean giving him the illusion that you are. To add a little insult to injury, try to do it with guys whom you think he believes he is superior to. If the cool hip guy has to jump through a million hoops to get with you, and the nerdy guy seemingly gets you with no trouble at all this will drive him nuts.

These tips to make your ex come back may seem silly, but trust me they do work if you take them seriously.

The Weekend Relationship

Posted on by blogger

During the week there are hundreds of details that need tending to. There are things to do, people to see, places to go. So its not surprising that romance naturally falls to the back of the list of things to do. To many people, romance is a treat that is to be savored only on special occasions; or whenever it feels like we deserve it, usually after denying ourselves of it in favor of a lot of hard work.

As satisfying and renewing as romantic relationships are, we are still not quite at the place to see them as part of a healthy lifestyle. Even though there is a lot of hard scientific evidence to support making romance a healthy part of every day, many people leave it to the weekends to partake of their special treat.

Couples who dont live to together may only have the weekends to see each other or spend any real quality time to together. But even married couples, and couples who live together, put their romance off until Friday after work. This may seem okay to a certain extent, but given the fact that there are other things that need to be done on the weekends, that didnt get done during the week, it might be difficult to give yourself permission to do nothing but take some private time doing nothing but enjoying another persons company. But if there isnt some time and attention given to it, a relationship will suffer. It may suffer in silence for a while, but it will suffer just the same.

If you are at the point that you dont think you have time, even on the weekends, to dedicate to keeping your love alive, its time for you to drop some things off your schedule and make some time. Weekends are a good place to start. At first it will seem like just another task for the week, but it will soon be far from feeling like work. All it takes is some planning and organization. In the same time you could compile a grocery list, you can make a list of things to do that will nourish your relationship.

Start making plans for your weekend on Monday morning. Not only will it give you a good head start on the weekend, but it will give you something to look forward to all week. It also makes it less possible to cancel your plans if you have them all mapped out, and have been doing things all week to get ready for them.

Making time for love can be as simple as putting a load of laundry in after work every day so it isnt piled up to the ceiling by Friday night. Its also a good idea to do grocery shopping on Thursday instead of Saturday or Sunday, so its out of the way. It also helps to do errands on Friday after work so that there will be no real need to even go out of the house on the weekend if you dont want to.

There a lot of ways to structure lifes details so that they do not take over all the good things in life that really should be the rule, and not the exception; its just a matter of doing them. With enough practice you could even learn to include a few week days into your weekend romance.

Coping With Break Up Through Internet Relationships

Posted on by blogger

Coping with a break up is not easy at all. Even if you were not serious with your past relationships it still has a negative effect on you. We all have our own way in dealing with our heartaches. Some people cry it out loud, others find comfort in food and there are some who try to find a new love. The latter is probably the best way to cope up with a break up and many are trying their luck through internet relationships.

Internet relationships as the name implies is finding or building a connection with someone online or through internet. With the social networks getting more and more popular, it is now easy to connect with other people. Fixing your broken heart through internet relationship does not always mean you should fall in love. Sometimes it just helps ease out the pain to talk to someone who is a complete stranger. Who knows, that stranger might be your future partner as well.

It is interesting how internet relationships had helped a lot of broken hearted people get through their lives. However, if it has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages. Below are two disadvantages of internet relationships.

Long Distance

One disadvantage of finding love online is long distance relationship. Many people find it hard to stay in a relationship when they are away from their partners. It is in fact one of the main reasons why most people break up. If you or your partner is not strong enough you might end up with a broken heart again.

No Quality Time

Since you only talk online and probably see each other only through webcam you will never enjoy the benefits of spending quality time together. Even though you chat almost everyday, it still feels better to be near each other and be able to cuddle up.

Having said the 2 common disadvantages of internet relationship it is still up to you and your partner on how you will make it work. Bear in mind that there are many couples who managed to keep the fire burning even though they only knew each other online. It is just a matter of trust. Besides, who would want to experience heartache and start from scratch again?

CORRELATION STUDIES IN EDUCATION

Posted on by blogger

ABSTRACT This paper reviewed importance of correlation studies in educational research. The paper concluded that correlation is used to find relationship between variables, determined degree of association etc. and recommendation was made at the end of the paper. INTRODUCTION Correlational study is very important in research. This is obvious in the ways it has been used in researches today in sciences, education, engineering etc. correlational study is used to find relationships between variables, degree of relationships, association among parameters, existing influences between variables, determine the degree of freedom, variability in performance, strength of variations in strength of relationships. The correlation is one of the most common and most useful statistics. A correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. IMPORTANCE OF CORRELATION Darko and Ansa-Asare (2009) cited the use of correlation to establish relationships and interactions between parameters. Correlation does not only used to find out relationship that exists between variables, it can also be used to determine the degree of relationships and variability between students’ performance in examination as opined by Oluwatayo (2007). Abe (2007) confirmed that correlation can be used to determine the strength of relationship between subjects and variations in strength of relationships of scores in subjects. Correlation is a good instrument to be used to analyse relationship between performances of students as observed by Ige (2007). Boampong, Acquah and Achiamaa (2009) used correlation to assess linear association among studied quantitative parameters. Boampong, Acqua, Sam-Awortwi and Ofori (2010) stated that correlation could be used to test for association among measured parameters. Correlation allows the researcher to investigate naturally occurring variables that maybe unethical or impractical to test experimentally. For example, it would be unethical to conduct an experiment on whether smoking causes lung cancer. Mcleod (2008) opined that correlation identifies variables and looks for a relationship between them. Correlation allows the researcher to clearly and easily see if there is a relationship between variables. This can then be displayed in a graphical form. The correlation is one of the most common and most useful statistics. He stressed further that correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. Lanthier (2011) looked at correlation as a way to measure how associated or related two variables are. She explains further that in a correlational study, the researcher is measuring conditions that already exist and finding out in what way pairs of variables are related. Lanthier (2011) opined that the researcher looks at things that already exist and determines if and in what way those things are related to each other and that, purpose of doing correlations is to allow us to make a prediction about one variable based on what we know about another variable. She believed when we know there is a correlation between two variables, we can make a prediction. We can make predictions about things when we know about correlations. If two variables are correlated, we can predict one based on the other. Mcleod (2008) observed that an important area where correlation is widely used is in the study of intelligence where research has been carried out to test the strength of the association between the I.Q. levels of identical and non-identical twins. Correlation research is a form of analysis in which you correlate one variable with another to determine if there is a relationship between them. It is used as a first step prior to experimentation, when experiments cannot be conducted (for ethical or practical reasons). In correlation research you do not manipulate a variable, you gather information through: Observation, Surveys or Questionnaires, and Information Correlation is concerned with describing the degree of relationship between variables. Researchers can use one variable to make predictions about another variable, that correlation can be used to find interrelation between variables. Minium, King & Bear (1993) posited that correlation can be used mainly to determine the degree of association between variables, and also to make prediction about an event. To establish reliability of a test, for example, we would want to know the extent of initial performance on the same test at a subsequent time. Minium et al (1993) opined that correlation is used in determining the degree of association between two variables and predicting a person’s standing in associated variable. John and Arthur (1991) viewed that when two variables are examined for their correlation; it is usually for the purpose of predicting one of them. Most correlation studies are initiated based on the desire to examine and explain the changing value of this variable. Horst (1963) said correlation measures the co variation in the magnitude of two things. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Correlation is very important in educational research as it could be used to find out relationship between variables, determine degree of association, for prediction about one variable and strength of a relationship. Having reviewed role of correlation in educational research it is therefore suggested that institutions of learning should design a course especially for correlation study. This will help students to apply correlation statistics correctly in research.
