Meeting the man of your dreams isn’t easy, especially if you’re not endowed with the swaggering coolness of a player or the looks of an A-list movie star
However, armed with a few pointers, you have no reason to despair. Below you’ll find a few ways you can improve your dating game and start filling up your little black book:
1. Smile – Smile often and intensely (but don’t fake it). Smiles instantly makes you beautiful.
2. Tell him you like his shirt. Everybody likes a compliment.
3. Make sweet, but subtle, gestures – Touch his hands, back, arms, but do it carefully.
5. Eye contact – Make eye contact and keep it as long as you can but don’t make it look like you’re desperate.
6. Listen – Listen to what he has to say. And reply with comments that show that you actually did listen to what he said.
7. Tease him. Make fun of yourself, and him. But make sure you don’t go to far.
8. Attitude – Don’t make him think you are an easy catch.
9. If it went to far, to fast, don’t show him that you regret it. Get his number and wait a couple of weeks before you call him. Then get a date and start over.
How do you proceed when you’ve slept with a family member and you’re afraid of the drama that may follow?
Dear Max,
I have done the unthinkable, and now I am not sure what to do.
I recently had a sexual encounter with my cousin. Actually, he is my stepbrother’s first cousin.
It was not supposed to happen, but yet it did. I have been fighting the urge to hook up with him every since we met, when I was 17. Now that I am 19 and he is 26, I think it was inevitable.
My family has pretty much accepted the fact that I am gay, and has been very supportive.
It’s just now I feel like I have overstepped that sacred boundary by sleeping with my own cousin. My family is very close, and I know if it is found out it will cause a lot of drama.
My major problem with the whole things is, since we finally did the deed, he wants more. Not just more sexual encounters, but a commitment.
He is talking about us living together and all. I want to, but that family thing is what’s stopping me.
I don’t know if I should continue what we are doing secretly, or just throw caution to the wind and just do it.
I would hate to be the cause of family drama. I begun to have stronger feelings for him and am not sure I am really ready to take it to the next level, as he always says.
Can you please shed some light on this sticky situation I have gotten myself into? It would be truly appreciated.
I don’t really see anything wrong with dating your stepbrother’s first cousin. It may certainly cause some concern in your family, but if it is true love, it will survive everything.
However, before telling everybody what’s going on between you two, you should figure it out yourself first.
Are you sure that you’re in love with him and that you want to take it to the next level? After all, living together is a big step.
I know it sounds exciting and very cool, but it is a lot of work and lots of give and take.
You are still very young and very inexperienced. You should be concentrating on getting a good education and getting to know people.
It may be okay to be dating him to see what happens later in the future.
But of course, it is your life and you make your own decisions. So think about it, listen to your inner self and follow your gut feeling.
You will meet the perfect match for you, or find a way to be happy without depending on another person. Either way, you will then look back and laugh at your own worries.
It will take time to heal, but you will also need closure.
Stop seeing or talking to this guy until you are over him. Because if you continue to go out with him, you will never go anywhere.
The first step to start feeling good about yourself is having closure in your relationship.
British pop idol Sam Smith has a celebrity crush on Transformer star Shia LeBeouf
In an on-air interview with SiriusXM Hits 1, the actor talked about being single and what kind of guy that turns them on (Sam’s preferred pronoun is they).
“Do you know who came up on my phone last night? Shia LaBeouf,” Sam said. “He’s so fit. He turns me on.”
“I don’t think he’s gay. But, I’ll be happy to be his first,” Sam continued.
The Oscar and Grammy winner came out as genderfluid in an interview two years ago, saying “I Feel Just as Much Woman as I Am Man”
“People don’t know this, but when I was 17, I remember becoming obsessed with Boy George and Marilyn,” Sam told the London Sunday Times. “There was one moment in my life when I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really.”
“I would wear full makeup every day at school – eyelashes, leggings, with Dr Martens and huge fur coats, for two and a half years. I got teased a lot for it, but there were also people respecting me for walking around like that in school.”
Sam then moved to London, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to make the bullying stop. He even got assaulted one night after getting off work at a bar: “I’d finished work and put on my clothes, and someone punched me in the chest, obviously just because of the way I looked. But that never bothered me, because I had this barricade up.”
Sam Smith came out to the public as gay in May 2014. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards he acknowledged a relationship with actor and model Jonathan Zeizel when he said, “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys!”
He won the 2015 Best Original Song Oscar for “Writing’s on the Wall,” from the James Bond movie Spectre. He also cleaned out the 2015 Grammys, winning Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Stay With Me,” Best Pop Vocal Album for “In the Lonely Hour”, and Best New Artist.
Sam has also dated 13 Reasons Why star Brandon Flynn.
Samuel Frederick Smith was born on May 19, 1992 in London, England. He currently owns a house in North London.
What is he famous for?
Sam Smith is a world-famous singer-songwriter who has won many awards including four Grammys and an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
He gained recognition in October 2012 for being featured on the breakthrough single “Latch” by Disclosure.
His debut studio album “In The Lonely Hour” was released through Capitol Records and certified 8x Platinum in December 2017.
Is Sam Smith gay?
Sam Smith came out publicly as gay in May 2014.
At the time, he acknowledged his relationship with model and actor with Jonathan Zeizel. The two have since broken up.
In February 2015, “Stay With Me” won Record of the Year at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Upon accepting, he said, “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys!”
In an October 2017 interview with The Sunday Times, Sam Smith self-identified as gender queer. He is quoted saying, “I feel as much woman as I am man”.
It’s Christmastime and nobody does the Holidays quite like the Harris-Burtka household
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka have given Architectural Digest a tour of their lavishly decorated home in Harlem, New York City.
“We’ve been together for over 15 years, which is a lot of holidays,” Neil Patrick tells AD. “And every holiday you wind up buying a throw pillow, a new Nutcracker, or something. And we’ve kept it all.”
“That’s what I like about Christmas, the time spent putting it all together,” he says.
Neil Patrick and David became parents to twins Gideon and Harper in 2010 and love incorporating memories of the kids growing up throughout their home.
Photos of the twins are everywhere and and many ornaments on the trees were made by the kids.
The couple throws an annual Christmas bash in their music room which ends with a White Elephant gifting.
“I love hosting games,” David tells AD. “It’s a very friendly one and everyone brings an expensive-ish gift so that everyone is relatively happy. The holiday party, for us, is a good opportunity to get to reconnect with people that we haven’t seen in a long time.”
Earlier this year, Neil Patrick was the international ambassador for Tel Aviv’s Gay Pride Parade and headlined the city’s annual celebration of its famous gay-friendly scene together with David.
“Pride. Love. Life. Thank you for having us as International Ambassadors #telavivpride, the outpouring of positivity was truly overwhelming. #grateful @dbelicious ?️?,” Neil Patrick wrote on Instagram.
The “How I Met Your Mother” star is by many seen as something of a gay icon but says he doesn’t see himself that way.
“I’m just a guy who is married to another guy and we have kids and we live our lives I would say as ‘normally’ as one would. But I think normal is a very subjective term, especially in the gay community,” he told The Associated Press.
“I legitimately have no interest in being a representative or an ambassador for anything except my kids.”
Neil Patrick’s “normal life” includes hanging out with guncle Elton John, like the family did when they went to one of the pop icon’s concerts in December last year.
The concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden was the last stop on Elton John’s farewell tour and was the first ever for the kids.
‘We are beyond grateful to consider this artist and genius a friend. His husband is remarkable, his children divine. Thank you for the spectacular memories, good Sir’, Neil Patrick wrote on Instagram.

Neil Patrick, David, Gideon and Harper were hanging out with Elton backstage before enjoying the concert with his husband, David Furnish.
The two families have been close for some time and went on holiday together to St Tropez earlier this year.
