1. Long thin candles known as pillars and tapers 2. Small candles including votive and tealights 3. Geometric shapes, including balls, pyramids, squares and rectangles 4. Character shapes 5. Candles in decorative containers such as glass, wire or steel vases

All of these, withrepparttar 126088 possible exception of character shapes, make great romantic gifts. And even a character shaped candle can be romantic if it has a special significance. For example, a candle shaped like a snowman can remind her ofrepparttar 126089 night you fell in love while building a snowman in her parents' yard.

Most women love candles of any kind, and men who take pride in their surroundings will also appreciate a beautifully crafted candle.

In The Romance Game, It’s Three Strikes And You’re Out

Written by Marguerite Bonneville


Continued from page 1

“Fine. Give her three chances. If she says no more than three times you don’t want her anyway. You really don’t need to get involved with someone who’s so insecure that they need you to jump off a cliff for them.”

“But what if she would have said yes onrepparttar fourth call?”

“Then she’ll call you. Haven’t you noticed that when you pursue someone and then you suddenly stop, they missrepparttar 126087 attention and come after you? Of course, that’s only if they were interested inrepparttar 126088 first place.”

John’s face fell. “That’s never happened to me.”

“Doesn’t surprise me,” I laughed. “You don’t give up until you’ve badgered them to death and by then they can’t stand you. Any attraction that might have existed is long gone.”

John was stunned. It was time to repairrepparttar 126089 damage.

“Look, I’m telling you this to help. Make it a rule to give a girl three chances, then stick to that rule. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and heartache. And for God’s sake, pick them for a better reason thanrepparttar 126090 fact that they’re ‘cute’.”

John squared his shoulders. “Right! She gets one more chance. I’m calling her now.”

I groaned as he strode fromrepparttar 126091 room.

I doubted thatrepparttar 126092 he’d stick torepparttar 126093 three strikes rule. The movies offer many romantic storylines whererepparttar 126094 couple start off hating each other and then fall madly in love. Many people like John are confused about when no means yes or no means no.

But it’s still safest to take a no at face value. Life’s too short to try second-guessing other people. And it’s much less stressful whenrepparttar 126095 people in your life are honest and open and aren’t afraid to tell you that they care. Why settle for anything less?
