Warning Signs That They Are Not Interested in a Serious Relationship With You

First let's get an understanding of what a relationship is. Keep in mind that there are several types of relationships, but we are going to focus on the one between a woman and a man. To be in a relationship would mean that you and another person have an ongoing connection with one another. There is a mutual interest that is shared. Once that is established, the two people involved constantly put in time and effort to make the connection stronger. In time they develop respect and appreciation for one another and ultimately they fall in love.

If none of the description stated above fits your situation, then there is a good chance you're not in a relationship. More than like your just 'hooking up' or you're a friend with perks. Basically those two, hooking up or friends with perks, meaning that you are something to do when there is no one they truly want to be with at that time or the one they want to be with is interested in being with them. If you are looking for this person to be someone special to you, this is a warning sign that they may not.

Here are a few more warning signs that you are not the one:

• You only get calls after the club closes (2 a.m.)
• They never take you out in public
• When on the phone, they take another call and forget that you are waiting
• Their only conversation with you is about 'the perks'
• They're up front and tell you there is no future for you two

There are tons of other tell-tale signs that you are not the one. Don't overlook them hoping that they are going to change simply because you're hanging in there. Hanging in there is the exact reason why they won't change. Staying in a bad situation or one that is not yielding the results you're looking for, simply tells the other person that you are content with the current situation. The longer you stay, the further away you're putting yourself from the happiness you're seeking.

Relationships take hard work, patience and understanding. Those things cultivate as you spend quality time with one another. A bond is built when you face adversities together and conquer them.

Like anything else, when we really want something we go after it. Regardless of the obstacles that may be in the way, we find a way to overcome those obstacles. The same thing goes for relationships, if two people are truly interested in one another, they hurdle obstacles to be with that other person. When a person is not interested in you they either give you a bunch of excuses to keep the 'perks' going on but they never make a commitment to establish the relationship.

Personal Development - What Star Wars Can Teach You About Using "The Force" in Your Life

If you have clicked on this article, you undoubtedly have some understanding of what Star Wars is and what it is about. The author will not waste your time by going through a complete plot summary, but rather jump right into what Star Wars can teach you about your own personal development.

1. There is an Equivalent of Midi-chlorians in Our Galaxy.
One of the more famous moments from Episode I features a unique discussion about what exactly "the force" is. Turns out, all life has little organisms, called midi-chlorians, that live symbiotically within cells, and can aid in all sorts of cool tricks if the individual is trained how to communicate and coordinate with them.

While there are no micro-cellular organisms waiting to unleash your hidden potential in this place we call Earth, there is still something that flows through all of us, and it is an integral part of the entire universe. This substance is energy. Yes, energy binds us together and allows us to accomplish every feat, no matter how great or small. Your thoughts project a signal out into the universe. Much of what you reap in this life has to do with the thought signals you are projecting. This thought resonance will attract like signals through the common medium of energy, which flows through all life.

2. Like a Jedi, One Must Train if You Want to Use Energy to It's Fullest Potential.
Let me make something perfectly clear; in no way, shape or form are you going to be able to move objects with your mind, defy the law of gravity or build a tangible blade composed of concentrated light by using the Law of Attraction. Using the Law, however, still takes time and practice. You must learn what it means to truly resonate with your desires and the universe and how to overcome the many resistances that will come your way. As with midi-chlorians, the Law is at work in your life whether you want to acknowledge it or not. The goal, as Bob Proctor puts it, is to become "consciously competent" in our knowledge and application of the Law. This training takes on many forms including: meditation, affirmation, and goal setting and monitoring. Much like the universe, the potential for using the Law is near infinite. You can begin right now with some thorough introspection. Sit somewhere quiet and really think, keep in mind that productive thought is a skill altogether, about where your life is right now and where you want your life to be. Look at your life and decide if the actions you are doing on a daily basis are contributing to the future you want. If the actions are not conducive to your ideal future, then think about what needs to change. Visualize yourself making those changes and manifest the positive feelings associated with moving towards your desired future.

While the Star War's universe has literally thousands of more lessons it could teach us about our own existence, yes you could say that I am a fan, these principles will greatly aid in one's use of the Law of Attraction. So begin your training, focus your mind and connect with the universe to reach your true potential.

Four Benefits of Non-Stick Pans

People today have already started to be health conscious particularly that obesity has turned one of the biggest health problems in every society. This has opened awareness to minimize fat intake, and one way the culinary industry recognizes this is by promoting the benefits of using a non-stick pan.

Requires Less Fat Promoting Better Health

Since a non-stick surface requires no oil, one benefit is the lesser fat in food. When fat is cut down or reduced, several hundred calories will be saved which means better health. Although we need fat or oil in our body, the tendency of using more oil than needed to make sure food does not stick to traditional cookware can lead to too much of these calories which affect our body in a negative way. Even with lower calorie foods, cooking them in excessive fat takes away from the healthy qualities of food. So to deliver low-fat cooking, a non-stick pan is ideal.

Less Preparation Time and Easy Clean Up

Because food doesn't stick, it generally takes only a little time to prepare and a little effort to wash this cookware. Both the non-stick interior and exterior are fast and easy to clean and fully dishwasher safe. All you need is a soft sponge and warm soapy water to thoroughly clean your non-stick. But one thing to remember, although dishwashers are perfectly safe for non-stick coatings, it is still advisable to check the manufacturer's care instructions. Additionally, with the increasing demand of this cookware, newer non stick surfaces have been developed to make sure they come more scratch resistant and safe with other cleaning materials.

Durable and Affordable

Nonstick cookware is usually offered at different price ranges making it a good option for a budget cookware. Durability wise, true non-stick coating comes in a variety of metals which make a difference when comparing one coating against another on the same quality pan. This combination of technology ensures that the coating maintains an outstanding point of performance on the pan. Depending on your needs, you can choose between an inexpensive aluminum non-stick and an expensive stainless steel non-stick pan.

Easier to Use and Energy Saving

Non-stick cooking is typically easier to handle. It requires less time stirring, lifting or turning the food, and very ideal for use when cooking fried or breaded recipes which needs extra care. Since you only cook on medium to medium high temperatures with non-sticks, it saves heat which in turn can ruin your food. I have made so many pancakes without adding a drop of oil into my non-stick, saving me time and trouble in the kitchen. If you're a beginner, I recommend a non-stick pan. Provided the temperature is just right, cooking can be a lot better with the convenient pan surface. It can help you avoid burnt and stuck-on food as it does in a non-coated pan.

While different companies offer different kinds of non-stick coating, true non-sticks are usually priced somewhat higher as it truly offers some sort of coating which keeps food from sealing to the pan. In addition, you can be assured that the coatings in your pans are made by a reputable non-stick maker. With all these benefits, it simply means that a non-stick pan gets it all. What could be better than that?
