According to People Magazine this past Thursday, Kim and Kanye are dating! The pair have been longtime friends and a close source reports that they are giving dating a go. Supposedly Kanye has had a crush on Kim for awhile and even mentions her in a recent song.
Can longtime friends become successfully romantically involved?
DEFINITELY! Many of the best relationships are born out of friendships. And these two have lots in common including very high levels of notoriety, interest in fashion, and they both have a very glamourous image and vibe. Maybe they can share their true selves privately in this relationship. Only time will tell. . . .
The only big concern any dating coach might have is the short span of time between Kim’s separation from Kris Humphries and her taking up with Kanye. Dating on the rebound can be a bad idea. If we choose to take time to process the experience of one relationship before beginning another, often times we have better results. But we all know, sometimes life doesn’t happen that way. Love and romance sometimes have a life of their own!
So, here’s to love in all of it’s mysterious glory!
If you answered yes, there is one awaiting you! Myriad strategies exist to take your romantic life from ho-hum to fulfilling and joyful.

This brings up the age old question: Can exes get back together and have a better go of it the second time around?
Does a couple who didn’t work out when they were first dating have a chance if they get back together? It varies. If it is a booty call situation aka friends with benefits, someone is bound to get hurt.
On the other hand, if both people have grown and changed so much that there will be a different vibe for the relationship, sometimes the second time around can work. I just met a woman who rekindled with her high school boyfriend ten years later and they fell in love and got married.
So, the bottom line is:
1) Be Kind – to yourself and your ex.
2) Don’t just jump into intimacy without rebuilding the relationship unless you are only looking for sex, not love or emotional connection.
A wonderful new quote talking about the gifts gleaned from The Spiritual Girls Guide to Dating!
“The Spiritual Girl’s Guide to Dating is a MUST-READ for any woman looking to build a strong and lasting partnership. Author Amy Leigh Mercree wisely suggests you can’t play games to find your soul mate but rather, you have to find and be your authentic self. She also helps readers separate fantasy from reality as they consider potential dates. Fun, wise, easy-to-read and loaded with practical and thoughtful tips. I love this book.”
Patricia Leavy, PhD. author of Low-Fat Love and host of the weekly radio show about relationships and identity, Low-Fat Love 101 on PWRTalk Radio.
This technique is loosely adapted from Taoist spiritual practices.
Have your guy sit cross legged up against a wall with several large pillows behind his back. This can be on the bed or a clean carpeted floor. Have him reach behind his back and raise the pillow up off the floor while you slip into his lap and wrap your legs around his back. He can then let the pillows go and lean back.
You should be sitting so the front of your bodies are flush together from base to chest. You can place a pillow under your backside as needed for comfort. Embrace and relax.
As you hug each other let your minds become quiet – like you are meditating together. Notice each other’s breathing. In time, bring your attention three key areas of the body:
The low abdomen area
The center of the chest or heart center
The “third eye” area between the eyes encompassing the center of the forehead.
Feel each area in turn. Notice the connection between you in each area. Feel it. It may feel like pulsing or tingling. Let there be a gentle feeling of an infinity symbol in each of the three areas, lazily circling between your bodies, hearts, and minds.
Let this practice be a relaxing part of your time together that you both look forward to amid the strength and connection of your soul mate marriage.
