Do you secretly wish that your guy showers you with more affection than what you are getting now? Then here are the excellent ways in which you can get him to give you more affection without seeming desperate about it.
YOUR CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE IS THE KEY
When you are a confident and independent woman who knows what she desires and is not dependent on her guy to make her life worthwhile, your guy is going to admire you for it and surely love you and shower all his affection on you as he considers you as his asset.
BE HIS PRIDE
When others see how good you are together and envy him for having such a wonderful woman he will surely be proud of you and appreciate that you are part of his life. His love and affection for you will obviously grow as he values you.
APPRECIATE HIM
Girls are used to receiving compliments but that does not mean guys don't like being complimented, they too have feelings. Appreciate things that he does for you, tell him what you like about him or compliment him on his achievements. Make him feel special and he will reciprocate by showering you with all the love and affection.
DON'T BE A CONTROL FREAK
Do not try to control him or be too demanding as this will put him off and he may not like you for it. Obviously he will not be able to respond with affection when you put him down. Respect his decisions and show that you value his opinion even if you may not agree to his point of view.
SHOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HIM
When you show that you are happy in his company and how much you enjoy being with him it makes him feel special. Instead of being a nag or showing dissatisfaction over small things, ignore them while concentrating on the good things of your relationship and get the affection of your guy for being an understanding partner.
MAKE HIM AWARE HOW MUCH HE NEEDS YOU
Show him that you like doing things for him because you love him and care for him. Let him realize that you are investing your time and effort to make this relationship special and he will know your importance in his life and that makes him show his love for you.
MAKE HIM MISS YOU
Take off on a short trip with your friends and get loads of affection in bargain when you return as he realizes how much he missed you when you were not around.

A Modesto teacher has left his wife and kids and quit his job to move in with his 18-year-old former student. The teacher, 41-year-old James Hooker, resigned from his position at James Enochs High School last week after investigations were launched into his relationship with a student. His girlfriend, 18-year-old Jordan Powers is a senior used to be a student in Hooker's class. "He's 41, she's 18, it's legal but gross," one student said. The situation has cast a dark cloud over the school, where one of Hooker's daughters attends and where Hooker was actively involved with students. "I feel like he took advantage of the situation," student Erica Goynes said, "and it's tough for us because he wasn't an anonymous teacher. He was involved in so many clubs and in so many aspects of our school, so it's just very disappointing foreverybody here." During a short phone interview, Hooker told CBS13 he started dating powers after she turned 18 on Sept. 5. But the teen's mother believes the inappropriate relationship started while her daughter was underage. Students at Enochs High have heard the same thing. "She was 14 when they first got together," one student said. "That's pretty disgusting, a guy like an old man would try and go with a really young girl." Hooker recently left his wife and children, one almost the same age as Powers, and moved into an apartment with his teen lover. The teacher-student romance spurred controversy and Hooker resigned from his position as a high school business teacher and club leader last week after being placed on paid administrative leave while the school district and Modesto Police Department investigate the relationship. Some parents expressed relief that Hooker is no longer on campus. "It's definitely wrong of him to pursue her in any way while he was still a teacher," said parent Nicole Peacock. Modesto police say the relationship remains under investigation. No criminal charges have been filed.Filed under: Local, News, Seen On, Syndicated Local, Watch + Listen

"When I was younger, I definitely always imagined that the morning of my 23rd birthday would involve sleepily typing out a review of Anna Karenina "at 3am in a scraggy Nintendo 3DS t-shirt". "Except I think the fantasy may have had a lot more sambuca shots, party hats and uhh... fun. Did I know what sambuca was at twelve? Probably not. I kind of wish I didn't at 23, to be honest. Yick.
"Anyway. "This review is a couple of days late, but I couldn't work out what to say I was busy sleeping and getting older. Ah well, I've written a lot about the novel over the last month, so click the following for my thoughts on the relevant parts:
Parts One and TwoParts Three and FourParts Five and SixParts Seven and Eight
And for those of you that "haven't "been avidly following my every rambling thought on "Anna Karenina "(shame on you!)", "here's a normal, sparkly review instead.
Plot summary: "Anna Karenina seems to have everything - beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son. But she feels that her life is empty until the moment she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike and soon brings jealously and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this tale of love and self-destruction is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself."
You'd be amazed how hard it was to find a plot summary that didn't make it feel like an 800 page 19th Century Russian classic... oh wait. That's the thing though - it really "doesn't "feel like that. It shocked me how easy it was to get into the story and how accessible the language was. I wouldn't have said it was an easy read, but I didn't even have to refer to the list of characters at the front - somehow my head managed to keep the characters and their relationships straight without any trouble at all. It was a nice surprise.
Speaking of characters, I had the Wordsworth edition, translated from the Russian by Louise and Aylmer Maude. Story good, translation not so good. They tend to change the characters names as well as the prose, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Surely names are names, regardless of language? As an illustration - the bloke down the road is called Steve. The mechanic in the shop is called Steve. My best friend's Dad is called Steve. The Russian Prince Stephen Arkadyevich Oblonsky, however, should "not "be called Steve.
Seriously, they translated it as 'Steve.' A minor point in the whole grand scheme of things, but "come on. "It went 'clunk' in my head every time I read it. Idiots.
I do seem the have got the whole character thing backwards though. I read a lot of the other bloggers' Read Along posts, I noticed that the vast majority didn't really like Anna herself as a person while I really, really did. She actually reminded me of myself quite a lot. I don't mean her circumstances, because obviously I've never abandoned my husband and child to run off with another man, but we just seem to have vaguely similar thought patterns. Not necessarily in a good way - she 'mind-reads' and works herself round in circles to end up at the worst possible result. I don't know, I just kind of felt for her. A lot of her situation was her own doing, but if this happened in modern society she would clearly be on some sort of medication.
I just want to hug her and give her a cup of tea. She gave up everything for Vronsky, "of course "she's worried about losing him.
" And recalling all the cruel words he had uttered, Anna invented other words which he evidently had wished to say and could have said to her, and she grew more and more exasperated."
'"I do not hold you,' he might have said. 'You may go where you please. You probably did not wish to be divorced from your husband so that you could go back to him. Go back! If you need money, I will give you some. How many roubles do you want?'"
" All the cruellest words that a coarse man could say he, in her imagination, said to her, and she did not forgive him for them any more than if he had really said them. " It did surprise me how the novel isn't actually that much about Anna herself, considering that she's the title character. Obviously she's a part of it, but the other five or so main characters just have as much 'screen-time' as she does, if not more. The narrative changes whose point of view it follows regularly, but Anna and Vronsky's situation can be left alone for many chapters at a time.
A lot of the other bloggers seem to have a thing for Levin, which I don't really understand. I mean, he's acceptable as a secondary character but I just didn't think he stood out in any way. He seemed fairly flat, and a lot of the parts in his POV involved "huge "ranty monologues about farming or politics.
Good Lord, "the farming. "The huge majority of Part Three is just Levin talking with his acquaintances about farming, and it was fairly disheartening to fall in love with the book during Parts One and Two and then have to skim 80 pages about crop rotation. Then again, much later in the book, Levin goes on a field trip to an election and I once again wanted to hurl the book at Leo Tolstoy's head. Even "he "didn't understand what was going on, so how was "I "meant to!?
I really can't emphasise enough how tedious these parts are, but it's partly because the interesting parts of the book are so accessible that these stand out even more. The experiences of Anna, Vronsky, Kitty and a few others are fascinating and the author writes in such a way that you may as well be in their head. There's a lot of description, but it doesn't really halt the flow of the book.
And the ending, oh the ending. I still think that Parts Seven and Eight should have been the other way round - finishing off the 800 page novel with a stodgy Levin chapter just doesn't make a whole lot of sense - but the "real "ending was marvellous. I mean, it hurt me to my very core, but it's one I'll definitely remember for a long, long time. I suppose it does fit in with the message Tolstoy was trying to convey about adulterous women getting their comeuppance. Still, like I said above, I "liked "Anna!
So, to finally wrap-up a whole month of reading "Anna Karenina"... I really liked this book. I'm 100% positive it didn't need to be anywhere near that long, nor did it need such lengthy, dry conversations about farming and politicals (or, in occasional and suicide-inducing moments, "both"), but I felt that the other parts more than make up more it. It's actually a surprisingly accessible lengthy classic about a woman who gives up everything for love.

Third dates are often taken for granted by men due to their belief that they have done everything as far as laying down the groundwork for a possible relationship. On the contrary, third dates are in fact crucial because they are both a milestone as well as a hurdle. On one hand, you have presented yourself positively on the first two dates (hence the third). On the other, you might just break your streak by becoming a bit too complacent. Listed below are 5 best tips for third date advice including practical tips on how you can impress a woman further as well as avoid committing common blunders that could hurt your chances at a fourth date. THIRD DATE ADVICE #1: CHOOSE A MORE COMFORTABLE SETTING While first dates are usually tension packed, third dates are supposed to be more relaxed since you have already met a couple of times and are no longer complete strangers. As a general rule, it falls on the men to make their date as comfortable as possible, hence the need to choose a more informal date setting. For starters, if you choose to make a date out of a meal, be sure to pick a restaurant where diners need not dress up to get in the door. A nice French bistro or posh Deli would be a great venue for a third date because you and your date can be comfortable and still expect great tasting food and beverages. You might also want to give your date a heads up about the casual nature of the date so she can dress accordingly. Women generally do not like it when they get all dolled up for nothing because it takes them hours to get ready for a date, especially when going to formal restaurants.Third Date Advice #2: Go Easy on the Liquor The purpose of the third date is to get to know each other a bit better, not make a fool of yourself in a public place. While it is perfectly acceptable to have a glass of wine (or two depending on your personal limit), it is never wise to treat the date like a pub-crawl. Drinking too much liquor does not only lead to poor judgement, but it also send the wrong message to your date. Ladies like it when their date is present and sober, especially those who prefer long and interesting conversations. THIRD DATE ADVICE #3: GET CLOSE BUT NOT TOO CLOSE Physical contact (not counting the goodbye kiss on the cheek) is expected on the third date. However, there are certain ground rules men should observe so they do not come off as disrespectful to their dates and women in general. For instance, leaning in for a kiss on the lips is perfectly acceptable. However, using too much tongue may be considered too forward and sometimes downright off putting. One of the best ways to initiated contact is by taking the lady's hand and touching it lightly while having a pleasant conversation. This gesture is both intimate and respectful at the same time, which would be greatly appreciated by your date. THIRD DATE ADVICE #4: BRING A SMALL TOKEN OR GIFT Presents are always welcome regardless of how long you have been dating a woman. However, the third date gift is crucial because it sends a powerful message to a woman. Practically anything that costs between 20 and 50 is acceptable, but the gift needs a bit of personal touch. For instance, if your date previously mentioned that she likes reading and is a fan of a particular author, you might want to bring a hardback copy of such author's latest work. Do not be tempted to give jewelery as a gift, regardless of whether or not you can afford it. While most women love jewelery, wildly expensive gifts sends the wrong message to your date, and can potentially harm the future relationship. THIRD DATE ADVICE #5: TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE If you are planning to date a woman for the foreseeable future, it is best to mention the future. Telling your date that you are having a great time and that you would love to see more of her in the near future would make her feel appreciated and wanted. Setting a particular date for your next meeting is not necessary, but you might want to mention a few ideas on where to go or what to do the next time you get together. These third date advice tips will not only ensure that you have a great third date, but they would also help in building a great relationship if you choose to get serious down the road.CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO TURN YOUR THIRD DATE INTO A FOURTH
