“I love you” can be the scariest three words when it comes to any relationship, especially when it comes to who has to say it first.  Here are just a few reasons as to why your fella may have not said those precious words just yet:

He’s not ready
Those three words are a big deal and shouldn’t be said lightly. So while you might be more comfortable with showing how you really feel, he might not be. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you any less, he’s just not ready to show you, just yet. But when he is, he will shout it from the rooftops.

He’s been hurt before
His last relationship might not have ended so well, so he might be a little hesitant in revealing his true feelings just yet.

Afraid you won’t say it back
That is often the case when it comes to “I love you.” You probably both feel the same way but are both too scared to show it.  So, it might unfortunately be up to you to say those dreaded words first.

Perfect moment
There’s a time and a place and he’s probably waiting for the perfect moment to show his true feelings to you.

He doesn’t love you
Harsh but true. He might not see the relationship in the same way as you do and if that’s the case it’s better to end it sooner rather than later.

There are certian things that people in couples do that drives single people mad. Like these for example:

1. Giving relationship advice to single people
Just don’t do it. They don’t want to know.

2. Using themselves as an example of a successful relationship
In their rambling about being in a relationship they use themselves as an example of a perfect relationship. Gah!

3. Referring to themselves as “we”
“We were thinking of going out if you want to join us?” or “We think it’s better to stay in tonite“. You have been going out for two weeks  and you’re already talking like you’re married. Wait until you have gone out for a couple of months, when everyone starts referring to you as a couple,  you will do anything to be seen as an individual.

4. Letting everyone how long you they have been together
It always seems to be some sort of anniversary,  whether it’s your actual anniversary or that time when you went to the beach and got ice-cream. You think that everyone needs to know how long you guys have been together “Well next week we’re going on 6 months” which results in another annoying Facebook status about how you’ve been through so much together.

“Oh my God, Drunk in Love, that is totally us babe”, too much info, thanks.

6. Constant status updates about their significant other
“Love you babes xxx” and  “you’re always there for me when I need you,” we know that you’re in a relationship, so we don’t need you to constantly update us on how things are going.

7. Posting those girly photos on Facebook
Every girl loves to post these photos to show much they love their boyfriend. Yeah, we get it, you don’t have to tell us every little thing that he does.

When they get a text from the boyfriend/girlfriend there’s literally nothing else in the world that is more important. Even if they text back “k” they feel like you have to send them some long winded text about how much they love each other.

9. Synchronised laughing
It’s very creepy when you both laugh at the same time and make the exact same sound when you do it. You probably think it’s cute, but to everyone else, it’s just downright freaky.

10. Saying “Awwww” together when you see something cute
It is as if you are just one big girly organism who can’t contain themselves when they see something cute. You watched Despicable Me together and now anytime you see anything to do with minions you have to share it on their wall.

awww-eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3-169111. Singing “Your song” together
It seems to change every week, it could literally be any song about a relationship and then you say “It’s like they wrote this song for us, baby?” Yeah, because you’re the only two people in a relationship at this moment in time.

12. Whispering in each others ear and then saying you wouldn’t understand
When you’re with a couple there is nothing more annoying than when they exclude you from the conversation. They whisper in each other’s ear and pretend like nothing happened. If you’re going to be that juvenile, you might as well pass each other notes like you used to do in school.

13. You bring a plus one even when they haven’t been invited
Even when your boyfriend/girlfriend isn’t invited you still insist on bringing a plus one. You say it’s because you can’t stand being away from them but really you just don’t trust them.

We get you love each other and that you want to express it physically, but you’re not at home, you’re in a public space. We don’t need to see you getting freaky on a park bench when we’re eating lunch.

I-want-to-do-this-everytime-I-see-annoying-couples-kissing-in-public15.  Telling everyone how much you have in common
“It’s like were the same person, we have so much in common.” If one of these things is that you both like The Notebook, we have some bad news. Guys just say they like things so that girls will think that they have a sensitive side.

A survey carried out by Match.com has revealed that we put a lot of faith in our dogs, when it comes to judging our potential partners.

According to the results, 25% of women have been more attracted to someone because of their pet, and almost half like to see if their dog reacts well to their date.

They also found that 59% of respondents would perceive their date as more attractive, if they found out he or she had adopted their pet rather than buying from a breeder.

Things get a little awkward when it comes to mixing cat people with dog people though. The survey revealed that 97% of cat owners would have a relationship with a ‘dog person’, but only 66% of dog owners would be open to dating a cat person.

How much faith have you got in your dog’s match making abilities?!

It’s never easy to take when you meet the love of your life on a night out, exchange numbers, get in a taxi to go home, and never hear from them again.

We seek out excuses as to why he hasn’t been in touch, but we need to stop. Dragging out the pain is useless when you know deep down that he was just playing games.

The next time your friends list out these go-to excuses, you’ll know that they’re only being nice, and you can finally stop staring at your phone.

Maybe he has no credit?
Not that this was ever a viable excuse (why didn’t he just buy some?!), the rise in bill phones has made it totally redundant.

He’s probably waiting for YOU to text HIM
We’re all for making the first move, but we still can’t help but think that if he’s really interested we wouldn’t have to.

Maybe he lost his phone
Web text, anyone?

Maybe you gave him the wrong phone number
Seriously, what are the chances?

He’s probably just busy
Too busy for one text? If this is true, he doesn’t sound like he’d be much fun to be around!

Having a good relationship is fantastic – which is why it’s so important to be aware of whether or not your relationship IS actually a good one.

Check out these five relationship types that are totally exhausting and not worth it. We hope for your sake they don’t sound too familiar!

Co-dependent
Feeling like you can’t live without the other person is no way to live. You will both end up letting other aspects of your life suffer in order to make the relationship work. Skipping out on nights out with friends or quitting your job in order to spend more time with your other half isn’t good – and your other half shouldn’t encourage you to do these kinds of things either.

Dominating
This is possibly one of the most dangerous relationships. Your man may become super jealous and demand you don’t talk to any of your male friends anymore, or he may hate it when you go out with your friends without him. These guys can usually be pretty charming so it’s hard to realise what he’s up to, but once you do, you’ll want to get out. Living under someone else’s control is awful.

Toxic
You both probably really like each other but all you seem to do is fight, because you can’t agree on anything. Not good.

Prize Possession
He’s either gorgeous or loaded, or both, and he wants a pretty lady on his arm. That’s it. Nothing more. No thanks – we can’t look good every day!

Good on Paper
He looks great, is really nice and has a good job. Your friends like him, your parents like him – even your dog likes him. But you are just not too bothered. You’ll probably try really hard to get to like him for a while but eventually you’ll have to give him his p45. It’s a tragic situation to find yourself in!

There now seems to be plenty of rules when it comes to dating. But just because they exist, doesn’t mean that you need to follow them. Here are five dating rules that you need to break:

Don’t ask him out
This is the most ridiculous rule on the list, there is no reason for you to wait on him to make the first move. If you like him and you’re pretty sure he likes you, why not organise a date with him yourself. You’re only delaying the inevitable, and besides he could be relieved that you finally made the dreaded first move.

Play hard to get
Don’t wait a certain amount of hours to reply to his texts. As long as you’re not bombarding him with messages, it’s ok to reply to a text straight away and if he gets freaked out by that he’s not the one for you.

Expect him to pay
It’s ok to chip in when it comes to a meal, especially if you happened to order the most expensive dish on the menu.

Don’t hook-up on the first date
If an attraction is there, an attraction is there. Do what works best for both you and for him.

Act different
Be yourself! Cheesy be true, you want him to fall in love with the real you.

University of Tennessee psychologist, Beth Easterling was so intrigued about the idea of “secret-keeping” in relationships, that she decided to team up with her colleagues from East Carolina University and found out some very interesting information as a result.

According to Easterling’s study, people in same-sex relationships are more inclined to keep secrets from their partner. This stems from the likelihood that they spent many years keeping their sexual orientation a secret, so they may have a tendency to keep things from their partner even if they are in a happy relationship.

She also found that the top reasons people keep secrets in relationships are:

  • To avoid hurting their partner or damaging the relationship
  • To avoid disapproval from their partner
  • They may be ashamed of something and fear their partner losing faith in them

Interesting stuff… we can’t help but wonder, what kind of secrets do you keep from your partner?

He could the nicest, most attractive guy in the world – but if he skips out on his round or makes you walk a half an hour home in your heels rather than pay for a taxi, there is no greater turn off.

Save yourself the hassle and use this guide as a way to spot a cheapskate before he leaves you with the bill!

He brings sandwiches to the cinema
Seriously, if he does this and you want to stick with him, prepare yourself for a life of very few luxuries indeed.

He pulls his face if you order actual 7up instead of a dash of white
Look, sometimes we just want the real deal, ok? Especially if we’re meant to be out on a hot date.

He always has dinner BEFORE he meets you
To avoid having to eat out, ye see? He probably had it in his mam’s house too.

He waits for his two cent change
Ok, it’s no biggie if he does this in the shop, but if he does it to the pizza delivery guy or in a restaurant? Cheapskate RED alert.

Getting pick n’ mix sends chills down his spine
How much will it be? Nobody knows! Don’t overdo it on the heavy bon-bons! Cue meltdown.

Ooh, we LOVE the sound of this!

It has been rumoured that Rachel McAdams may be romantically involved with none other than Jake Gyllenhaal.

A fan of Rachel’s spotted the couple and uploaded an image to his Instagram with the funny caption: “Why is my girlfriend Rachel McAdams eating dinner with Jake Gyllenhaal.”

After we got over the initial jealousy pangs we realised there is no one better we would like to see our Jake with!

The couple were spotted having dinner at a restaurant in Pittsburgh where they are due to begin shooting new movie, Southpaw.

We hope the rumours are true – would you like to see these two together?

What with J1s and travelling, sometimes couples just need to go their separate ways. But if the thought of dumping your beau is too much to handle, here are some ways you can make a long-distance relationship work for you:

1. Control that jealousy
So what, he is in a photo with a super hot blonde American girl in a bikini with an amazing tan and really white teeth…it means nothing.

Control2. Trust
Don’t listen to those negative thoughts – you know your boy better than anyone and you should trust him if he says it’s all gravy.

Trust3. Avoid drunken messages or phone calls
These are guaranteed to end in super awkward phone sex or a massive fight.

dd4. Phone sex
Do it sober and you’ll have nothing to cringe about. Well, you’ll have less to cringe about.

ffff5. Don’t post suggestive photos which look like you’re cheating
Don’t play games with Facebook. If you post a photo of yourself in a Dirty Dancing lift pose with that guy he hates, you’re gonna have a bad time.

6. Keep yourself busy
You probably miss your other half, but try to keep yourself occupied and you’ll be seeing your beau in no time!

It looks like there is no love lost between these two soap stars!

Matt Lapinskas had a few choice words for his ex-girlfriend, Shona McGarty recently following her claims that he cheated on her before they broke up.

The couple were together for over a year before things began to go downhill.

The former EastEnders’ star said: “Shona had no interest in being there for me. All she was interested in was going out partying till 2am.”

Things got so bad between the co-stars that Matt actually said it felt like he was, “looking after a child.”

Yikes! We hope these two manage to avoid each other at social events!

Even though we can spend hours trying to figure out exactly what men are thinking, we can often be taken by surprise with what’s really going on in our guy’s heads:

What is she wearing?

They might not act like it but our fellas do care sometimes about what we’re wearing. They probably know that a certain outfit doesn’t suit you but are too scared to say it or they think that outfit looks really great on you but compliment you in the wrong way.

Loves her sense of humour
As much as some guys love creating jokes of their own, they love if their girlfriend cracks a great joke too.

What is she talking about?
Not too surprising, but sometimes are fellas are just not paying attention to a word we’re saying.

What is she looking at?
Guys, like girls can get easily jealous. So, you might think they’ve missed that sneaky glance at the hot waiter but they definitely didn’t, just like you didn’t miss them looking at that pretty waitress.

What’s that scent?
They will either love or hate that new perfume you got. But one thing is for sure, they will spend hours trying to figure where that strange bubble-gum or vanilla scent is coming from.
