They are easiest to understand when you see other people entering a rebound relationship. You may see your friends or family members endure a painful break up only to meet someone a week or two later and fall madly in love. Often, these types of relationships seem to move fast, with people professing their love after a short time.

When it comes to identifying if you are about to enter a rebound relationship, it is much more challenging. After all, you’ve just spend the last month or two dealing with the pain of losing someone special and now, this new person has appeared. You want the pain to stop and this new person makes you feel all the wonderful lovey-dovey feelings of puppy love. Suddenly all is well with the world again.

Even if you are convinced the break up was for the best and you’re over it, you still may have unresolved issues that take time to heal. Everyone wonders from time to time whether the break up was their fault, if they are unlovable or incapable of loving, or if they could have done things differently.

Since those thoughts are painful, it’s much easier to find an “emotional Band-Aid” who will push those thoughts out of your mind and tell you that you are wonderful. Your ex just didn’t understand.

Unfortunately, if you haven’t taken the time to decompress from your break up, analyze where things went wrong, and learn from your mistakes, you will likely repeat them in any new relationship. And you will likely lead the new person you are involved with on and possibly hurt them when the newness of this relationship starts to wear off.

Do yourself and your new love interest a favor – take it slow and make sure you are fully over your ex before you get involved in another relationship

1 – Apologize – If you feel you have done something wrong and are sincerely sorry, you may owe your partner an apology. Apologies are only useful if you mean them and are willing to make it up to your partner. This isn’t about buying your way out of a jam, but being repentant and letting him or her know that you won’t do it again. People make mistakes and you’ve learned from yours.

On the other hand, if you aren’t sorry, then you are just lying to your partner and will make the situation worse. You’ve probably heard Rihanna sing “Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not. When I know you’re only sorry you got caught.” Your self-serving behavior will only make your partner angrier at you.

2 – Take responsibility for your actions – If you want the relationship to work, then put in the work to fix whatever is wrong. If you don’t want to be in the relationship any longer, then leave. Don’t make things ten times worse by having an affair, getting violent, trying to get mutual friends/family/kids to take sides, or playing the victim.

3 – Take a time out – If you need space or outside factors make it difficult to continue the relationship, maybe taking a break can help. You can’t make someone love you more than they do, but you can give them time and space to figure out what they want.

While these three tips won’t guarantee that you can save your relationship, they can help you determine if your relationship will stand the test of time.

Men, on the other hand, often seem wary of women who are quick to initiate a talk about commitment. The mention of anything surrounding “where is this going” quickly shuts them down.

This is due to the media stereotypes that “all” women are looking to snag a man to play the role of their ideal husband and life partner. Virtually any man will do, so long as he is willing to follow her schedule of getting engaged, planning a huge wedding, and having kids in the near future.

These expectations create a lot of fear and anxiety in both men and women. Men shy away from commitment because they think it means replacing their fun-filled lives with heavy responsibility.

This, in turn, creates anxiety and fear in the women because she has a timeline in her head of when she expects from a quality man. If he isn’t yet ready to commit, will he ever be? She isn’t getting any younger.

Her increased anxiety over “where things stand” causes her to live in her head, always wondering how he really feels. Often, she will either start to distance herself from her man or will pursue him with more affection – neither of which help bring the couple closer or make her man want to commit.

Rather than force a man to commit based on her time table, the better approach is to relax and don’t force a relationship. Be secure enough to know that you are a good catch and that if things are meant to be, they will just happen.

Commitment conversations usually happen on their own, when both people are ready to “take the relationship to the next level.” There isn’t any awkward pushing and prodding because you both enjoy what you have for what it is, rather than trying to make it into something different.

If you know you are a great catch. If you have a happy, fulfilling life, and you have enough self confidence to know that loves in its own time frame. Then, you don’t need your man to “complete” you or fill a glaring hole in your life.

Love and commitment will evolve naturally.

And when that happens, your man will appreciate you much more because you have given him the time and space to form his own conclusions – when he is ready – rather than badgering him based on your own neediness.

Everyone has felt a bit nervous going into a first date, giving a public speech, interviewing for a job or walking into a party where you don’t know anyone. Yet, imagine you felt 100% confident in your abilities to handle any of these situations with grace – knowing you’ll be fine and make a great impression.

Self-confidence is the belief that you are perfect and good enough just as you are. It doesn’t stem from having certain characteristics like the body of a swimsuit model, unlimited wealth, or the perfect career. It’s not about what other people say, how you react to situations, or where you are in life. Rather, it’s a mindset you have about yourself and about the value you have to offer the world.

If you’ve read any dating or self-improvement books, you’ve probably heard that the key to success is being confident and “believing in yourself.” The problem is that you can’t make yourself believe in something you don’t – and that’s where Shaw’s book shines.

Mirabelle Summers and Amy Waterman set out to make communication with the opposite sex a breeze in their massive 298-page guide to male-female communication, Conversation Chemistry.

Fundamentally, men and women have different styles for communication. Men use words to do something, so their communication is often concise, to the point, and goal oriented. Women, on the other hand, use words to feel connected, so they love to talk freely regardless of if they have anything to say. In other words, men aim to communicate information while women aim to build rapport and common ground.

To help women better understand and communicate with men, Summers and Waterman break their ebook into three parts:

1. Basics of good communication – In part 1, Conversation Chemistry tackles the foundations of being a good communicator. Topics such as how to build rapport, establish common ground, and demonstrate that you understand your conversation partner are discussed as well as 5 key conversation turnoffs and communication mistakes. In addition, part 1 stresses the importance of non-verbal communication and how you are likely to project what you are feeling to others in ways you wouldn’t imagine.
2. Dating communication – Part 2 takes the foundations for good communication and applies them to dating. This section discusses how to start a conversation with someone new, how to spark attraction, and how to escalate that interaction to the next level. It also provides helpful tips on overcoming anxiety and making a great first impression.
3. Relationship communication – Finally, part 3 tackles communication in relationships, such as how to talk about your needs and feelings, how to communicate affection, and even how to argue effectively.

The best thing about this ebook is how thorough it is. Virtually any situation you can imagine that involves interacting with the opposite sex in a casual, dating or relationship capacity is covered in great detail with examples.

And because this ebook covers all aspects of communication with the opposite sex, any woman looking to improve her communication skills with men will benefit – whether she’s interested in dating, communicating better with her partner, or just improving her interactions with the men in her life.

In addition to the ebook, you’ll also receive the following bonuses:

• NLP for Beginners – This ebook explains what Neurolinguistic Programming is and how it can help you replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones.
• How To Double Commitment – If you’ve ever wanted to have the “where is this relationship headed” talk with your guy, this ebook is a must read for setting the stage for a long-term, committed relationship.
• Femininity Unleashed – This is a transcript of a talk between Mirabelle Summers and Amy Waterman on the subject how men are attracted to women who flaunt their femininity and what you can do to embrace your feminine side.
• How To Read A Man’s Body Language – In this 45 minute discussion, Emily and Scot McKay provide an inside perspective on how to read a man’s body language.

Verdict: I highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to learn to communicate better with men. Even if you skim the book or only read part 1, you’ll still walk away with a heightened sense of awareness about how you communicate, what you communicate, and how others perceive you.
