Love Mistake No.1- You Played Yourself
I want to say right from the beginning that I’m one of those people who believes that we don’t “look for and find love" but rather, the love already in us attracts the love of another. But for the sake of this article, I’ll go with the common notion that men and women “look for and find love". Other than the flawed approach to [...]
Do You Know How Your Ex Feels? (Pt. 2)
Click here to read (Pt.1) There are people who just feel bad about themselves no matter who they're with. They go from one man or woman to another looking to "feel good" but ultimately fail to find what they are looking for and either continue "looking" or end up bitter and resentful because nobody can make them feel good about [...]
On-And-Off Again Relationship – Time To Give Up?
I receive email questions from men and women, young and old, and from all walks of life who are in a relationship that on-again and off-again. Both people are in some ways hurting each other but the attraction and chemistry is so strong that they can’t imagine life without the other. It is as if they're locked in what I call “madness for [...]
What Makes Moving On After A Break-Up So Hard
You may be one of those people tired of people telling you that you should just get over your emotional pain (fear, frustration, anger, despair, disappointment, feelings of betrayal, broken heart etc) and move on. May be even been told that your pain and suffering is a choice and that you have the “power” to stop it with just the right [...]
Cheating Men: Sex Addiction Or High Sex Drive?
I mentioned to one of my girlfriends that I read it somewhere that Tiger Woods was going to rehab for sexual addiction, and she said, “Where? Are we allowed to visit? I want to believe that there are more of us so beyond bored with “Tiger predator, Tiger victim” 24/7 narrative. I am especially so up to here with self-righteous suits using [...]
Is Acting Aloof Bad For My Relationship?
Question: I am the aloof type through and through. I know this about myself, but then I don’t see it as some sort of game. I truly just enjoy my ‘me’ time and have become quite a bit more introverted as I’ve aged. Some people cannot handle that and attempt to cling or get jealous of such things as my wanting to stay in and read a [...]
How Do I Love Someone Who Annoys Me?
Question: Yangki, I’ve read your articles and absolutely love everything you have to say about love. I’m trying to be a more loving person in my romantic relationship and in life in general but it’s a real struggle. I used to be hard on myself because I didn’t love me but with a lot of work, I love myself more. I also try to be more loving [...]
Women Who Follow “The Rules” By Heidi Muller
You may have your rules when it comes to dating (i.e. no cuddling after a one-night stand, no ditching friends for a woman you've only seen twice) -- everyone has their own set of rules -- but you should be wary of the women that abide by The Rules , as well as the rules engraved into their diaries by society. So here are the reasons why you [...]

He opened the door to a sparsely furnished one bedroom apartment. It was clean, tidy and smelt good, but it was obvious -- this was a guy of very modest means. I was raised dirt poor and material things have never been an issue with me (owning two pairs of shoes, and eating three meals a day is "living rich" as far as I am concerned), but I was [...]
Hurting People Hurt People – Taking The High Road
Keeping positive in the face of consistent negativity is not an easy thing to do for even the most positively cheerful of us. Excessive criticism, put downs (veiled or otherwise) and passive-aggressive behaviour (where you feel that someone is getting back at you indirectly, without telling you why) can put a damper on your positive cheerful, [...]
