They told me that to make her fall in love, I had to make her laugh. But every time she laughs, I’m the one who falls in love.

Laughter is powerful medicine!

It’s true, laughter is powerful medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress.

Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience.

Science says we are attracted to those who look and/or smell similar to one of our parents.

As creepy as this sounds, a partner who looks similar to one of our parents is found to be comforting. If you are a female and your father wore a certain cologne, it is a familiar and comforting scent.

This makes sense, but let’s not bring Freud into this and ruin this vibe, okay...

Here’s a look back at some dos and don’ts that show why spending a Saturday night with your sweetheart during the '50s was the cat’s meow.

Are there any old school cats out here?




Making the first move

Apparently, guys were supposed to ask out girls—only “floozies” ask guys out on a date first.

Respond quickly

When someone asks you out, you’re supposed to give an immediate answer to be polite. With today’s online dating, not responding could mean you’re ghosting someone—which is still considered rude.

No excuses

Never break a date without providing a valid reason. Not interested in meeting up with someone? You’re going to have to come up with something better than needing to wash your hair.

Be on time

Women should never be late to a date. When dates arrive, you should be ready to go. That was an etiquette decades ago that still stands today.

Meet the parents

Getting introduced to your girlfriend’s parents can be a pretty big step in a relationship. In the ’50s, though, it was customary for girls to introduce all dates to their parents first.

Don’t place your order

If your date took you out to eat, it was ladylike to tell him what you wanted for dinner so he could order it for you. Sound ridiculous?

Who pays?

Why, men of course. If a woman tried to pay for a date in the 1950s, it would be humiliating to guys. But dating can be expensive these days, so perhaps splitting the check is the nice thing to do or is it?

Don’t wait

Procrastinating on asking a girl out was one of the worst things a guy could do when he was dating.

Ring the bell

Sending an “I’m here” text didn’t exist in the ’50s. When a man picked up his date, he was supposed to go to the front door of her house to call for her. Honking the car horn from the driveway was also considered poor form.

Don her coat

If you wanted to show your date how polite you were, you would help her put on her coat. It would be extra special if you offered her your coat when she didn’t have one.

Open the door

Real gentlemen open car doors for ladies. Really, men are supposed to open any door for their date and let them walk in first.

Curb it

Chivalry might not be considered dead if men still walked between their date and the curb of the sidewalk. Even if you weren’t born in the ’50s,

No kissing

On the first date at least!

Some extraordinary research has found that couples who are in love and bond in a romantic relationship synchronize their heart rates after gazing into each others’ eyes for three minutes.

Do everything with your whole heart, or not at all. Don’t put up with lies or with people who lie to you. Don’t risk hurting people just for the fun of it.

And lastly, your best foot shouldn’t be put forward; it should be with you all the time — right there beside the other one.

Throw away the checklist and stop looking for the perfect person, they don’t exist. Open your heart to possibilities!

The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.

The definition of love and relationship is very subjective. But sadly, there are people who keep romanticizing certain things about love that are not so great at all. Misleading beliefs about relationships are only going to ruin your experience of a relationship and won't prepare you for what's comi...

You Can't Hurry Love" is a 1966 song originally recorded by on the label.
Do you remember the lyrics?
If only mama had hired a matchmaker!

You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
Soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when mama said
You can't hurry love no
You just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
