      Have you ever felt like you had to send your date an email or text across the dinner table just to get his attention? In the age of technology, sometimes a smart phone can be more threatening to your relationship than another woman. With communication so readily at your fingertips, these days it's hard for some people to interact on a deeper level. Between checking emails, staying updated on everybody's status on Facebook and Twitter, and "checking in" with Foursquare, a real conversation can be hard to come by. Here are five ways to get him to put down the iPhone and pay attention to you:

      1. Practice what you preach: Put your own cellular device away. How can you get mad at your date if you indulge in the same bad behavior as he does? Quit constantly glancing at your phone. It makes you look anxious, like you have somewhere else to be or are waiting for a message from somebody. Also, don't text. This may be the most annoying thing a person can do on a date. It tells your date that he does not have your full attention. Your top priority should be the person across the table from you. And above all, don't take a call. We understand that emergencies happen; however, unless it is a loved one, let it go to voicemail.

      This Columbus Day weekend, what better way to celebrate the occasion than by indulging in some travel and exploration with your honey? Traveling abroad can get expensive and time-consuming, and not all of us have extra money and vacation days to spare. Although places like Venice and Paris are known for their European romance and charm, you can find that same feeling right here in the United States. Who says you have to be in Paris to french kiss? Here are some of the most enchanting travel destinations in the U.S.:

      1. Niagara Falls (NY): Niagara Falls, known as the Honeymoon Capital of the World, is an ideal romantic spot. You can take a classic Maid of the Mist boat tour with your lover and be captivated by the breathtaking view of the waterfalls. You can also engage in some other fun activities, like going on a Niagara wine tour.

      2. Poconos Mountains (PA): Whether or not you've just tied the knot, the Poconos is a spectacular destination. The Mountains were home to the first honeymoon resort in 1945. As part of its intimate tradition, Poconos has a famous heart-shaped whirlpool bath for two, as well as many world-class spas.

      Celebrity couples are breaking up, getting back together, moving on, finding new love and embracing the single life on any given day. In fact, many of them are experts at being indecisive and unstable when it comes to relationships. It's not exactly a lifestyle to strive toward, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make us smile when a sweet pair of our favorite stars decides to get back together after previously calling it quits. Here are some notable duos that elected to give it another shot this summer:

      1. Lady Gaga and Luc Carl: Gaga told Rolling Stone last year that she had never loved anyone like [Luc Carl] before. She was even quoted as saying, "That relationship really shaped me." Despite these words, it was reported in May that the Bad Romance singer ended their "few year relationship." It was short-lived because by June the couple appeared to be together again. A source told UsMagazine.com, "They had a little fight. I think the break-up lasted a week or two. They are totally back together now." Sounds like this one may have been the shortest breakup in celebrity history.

      Baseball season is winding down, but there's a lot couples can learn from the game to help keep their romance alive. In the beginning of a relationship, hardly anybody complains about romance, since you're still on Cloud 9. And if you don't know how to keep things flowing, it can eventually start to die down the longer you're together. Here are five tips to rejuvenate and enhance you and your honey's relationship and keep it as romantic as possible:

      1. Relive your first date:
      Go back to where you started. Have dinner at the very spot you had your first date and relive that moment. Talk about the memories and the feelings you had at that point. This is always a sweet way to score a home run with your honey.

      2. Be your relationship's biggest fan: You can never go wrong with pouring out your heart to the one you love. Your partner will fall for you all over again every single time if you just remind him or her how much they truly mean to you. Join your

      Spending a lazy afternoon at a ball game can be the perfect casual date - and celebrity couples seem to think so, too. Sometimes, celeb sightings at a sporting event can be as entertaining at the game itself. There may even be as much action off the court as there is on it.

      So the next time you attend a sporting event - whether it be hockey, basketball or baseball - keep your eyes open for the famous duos below:

      1. Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher: In February, Underwood's hockey-playing hubby was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators. Shortly after, Fisher moved into his wife's Brentwood, CA, home (and into her closet), and for the first time during their marriage, the newlyweds settled in the same city. Fans can rest assured that, once the hockey season starts up again in October, Underwood will be at as many home games as her hectic schedule allows.

    • Are Women Only Into Good Looking Guys?


      By Danielle Devorah of GalTime.com for Cupid's Pulse

      When it comes to looks, women are typically more forgiving than men. I tend to believe that the first thing that attracts a man to a woman is her looks. On the other hand, a woman wants a man who comes off as intelligent, powerful, and strong. That does not necessarily equate to "good looking". I remember dating a guy several years ago who was a very well known male model. On a scale of 1-10 this guy was an 11, for sure! He was tall, had a chiseled facial structure, strong arms. I remember taking him to parties with me and even my male friends said, "Wow, he's a good looking dude". But, he was, well, dumb as a rock. After a couple dates and many ridiculous conversations with him, I dumped him. I no longer saw how gorgeous he was and just imagined him as an immature 15-year-old boy. Years later, he actually married a very famous actress and ironically she's very smart. I guess she didn't need someone on her level and enjoyed the

      Whether you're out at a bar for the night or on a date, a man's drink can tell you a great deal about him. Whether he orders an ice-cold brewski, a glass of fine wine, or a shot of hard liquor, we pulled together some interesting theories on what his drink just may say about his current mood and intentions. So, next time your date takes a sip of one of these libations, keep our tell-tale clues in mind:

      Beer: When a man orders a beer, it can mean many different things. It really depends on the type of beer he orders. Generally, however, a man who orders a beer is out to loosen up and have a good time with friends.

      Wine. A man drinking wine exudes class. Details are probably very important to him. If he takes his time selecting the perfect wine, he will take the time and care to impress you as well.

      There's no denying we are a society addicted to technology. While this fact may not necessarily be a bad thing when it comes to your day-to-day life, our technological habits may be making it impossible to form 'real' relationships with the targets of our affection. It seems that the days of in-person or over-the-phone conversations are gone, and instead we are left with e-mail, texting, or social networking sites as the normal way of communicating, normally in 140 characters or less. So although technology may make it easier to meet someone, does it really help nurture a relationship?

      Now that school's out and has become a distant memory, you may be tempted to forget the important lessons you learned while sitting at your desk in math class, such as adding one to one makes two, that all right triangles equal 180 degrees, and, more importantly, how to subtly check out the girl two rows over, who vaguely reminds you of Emma Watson.

      Everyone knows that students are not only absorbing what's written on the chalk board, but also the world around them…and that includes the dating realm.

      So now that those days of puberty, driver's education, and prom are in the rear view mirror, true students of the dating game know how to take their classroom lessons and apply them to their current adult relationships. A big part of this process involves self-reflection on your past mistakes, while at the same time realizing that making wrong moves is how you improve your game.

      Let's be honest - everyone learned lessons about "love" in
