We can spend hours selecting the perfect phrases for correspondence or rehearsing witty answers, but when we meet in person, our body begins to transmit information bypassing consciousness. Psychologists say that we transmit more than 60% of information non-verbally. In mid-March, as we finally emerge from our bulky down jackets and become more open to the world, learning to read these signs becomes a key skill for understanding what's really going on between you.

In the world of actively seeking love, rejection is an inevitable part of the process. However, for many, hearing “no” or experiencing a sudden cessation of correspondence is tantamount to disaster. There is a feeling that this is not just a mismatch of interests, but the final verdict on your attractiveness, intelligence or value as a person. In fact, the fear of rejection is just a cognitive trap that prevents you from moving towards truly “your” people.

Often, after another breakup, a realization comes: the new partner surprisingly resembles the previous one. The same temperament, the same habits and, most annoyingly, the same communication problems. It seems that this is an evil fate or an unfortunate accident, but in fact, behind this there is a clear work of our psyche. We choose not so much a person as a familiar scenario in which we understand how to behave.

At the beginning of any relationship, there is a temptation to be as comfortable as possible. I want to agree on everything, adapt to someone else’s schedule and share any hobbies, just so as not to frighten off the interest that has arisen. But the paradox is that a lack of boundaries destroys sympathy much faster than a polite refusal. Without a clear “no,” the personality blurs, turning into a convenient but insipid reflection of the partner.

We're almost halfway through March, and while the weather may still be moody, there's definitely been a change in the air. You've probably noticed how the faces of passers-by have become lighter, and the desire to shed their heavy coats is accompanied by an even stronger desire - to let someone special into your life.

For example: are you ready to start over? I once lived my ordinary life in Ukraine. There were familiar streets, a job I loved, familiar places, and people who had known me for many years. But one day, I realized that within me was a desire to move forward, to discover new horizons, and not to be afraid of change.

I've noticed that with the first warm days, something very tender wakes up in me. It's as if my heart is also coming out of winter hibernation. I want to smile more, feel more, talk more about what used to be quietly hiding somewhere deep down.

Sometimes I wake up and for a few seconds I don’t understand where I am. In a dream, everything was so real: a voice, a touch, a look… As if someone was there. As if it was life, not a dream. Do you know this feeling?

High in the misty mountains of Transylvania, amidst dense forests and winding roads, stands an ancient castle, which has been haunted by frightening legends for centuries. Locals say that strange noises can be heard here at night, and shadows sometimes flicker in the windows of the towers. This is Count Dracula's castle, one of the most mysterious places in Europe.

They say women can read minds. Let's have an honest discussion about why a direct question is the best gift for both sexes.

Sometimes the simplest acts can change the world-even a small part of it

I'm sure many people have asked themselves this question at least once in their lives. 💖

Sometimes men ask me, "Why are Ukrainian women so special?"

Even if it's not quite warm outside, the air already smells of spring. I don't know how to explain it, but in moments like these, my mood changes completely.

When I was younger, for some reason I thought love had a right time.💕💋

Sometimes in the evening, when it's quiet and I have time to think, I catch myself thinking the same thing. I dream of a family.

About wish fulfillment

Not according to the calendar, not when you tear off a leaf with the first of March, but for real. When the air stops being prickly, when this moist sweetness and anticipation appears in it. I noticed how everything around me had changed. People stopped frowning. Someone smiled at their book, someone let the girl go ahead of them for no reason.
