How to find out if Your Girlfriend is Cheating on You

Having a doubt that your girlfriend is cheating on youis heartbreaking enough.

But to have to find out if your doubts are true or not and in turn face your worst fear is nightmarish. Nonetheless, if you’ve got doubts then it’s best to address them and clear your mind. This is how you can find out if your girlfriend is cheating on you or not.

1. Observe

If she is distant, withdrawn, constantly cancelling plans, and appears not interested in what you have to say or do, then chances are something is up. Observation is the key to finding out what is going on. This does not mean you go paranoid and let your suspicions get out of hand. Don’t read too much into things and take her behaviour for what it actually is.

2. Talk to her close friends

Another alternative is to talk to her close friends; provided you are on talking terms with him/her. Don’t pounce on the friend; call them and ask them if they genuinely know what is happening and if they have any idea what is bothering your girlfriend. Try to coax information out of them and see where that leads.

3. Phone check

How many cheating men and women have been caught thanks to phone records that gave up on them. When you get a chance, look through her phone and you might just get the proof.

4. Confront

This is the sure shot way to find out what is going on. Confront her, coax her to talk about it and get information out of her. You will know the 100% truth only when she talks. So you got to ensure she does.

Use these ways to know if your girlfriend is actually cheating on you or if it’s all in your head.

Women in love, the astro way

Love is eternal, and men and women inseparable! The masculine and feminine forces, although interchangeable, aim in directions opposite to each other. However, it's when they flow into each other, and not in opposition that they come together to create the complete circle called life. Yet, it's undeniably true that both the sexes are 'different' in their approach to various aspects of life. And, love is no different. 

Usually women are said to be more emotional and attached than men. The gender stereotypes and societal roles too contribute to this difference. That is why, even the men and women of the same Zodiac Sign have varying emotional responses to relationships. Read ahead to find out how women of various Zodiac Signs love and love to loved!   

Aries
One would need to know right up that the Aries Female has low tolerance for insecurity. An easy display of confidence and composure, hence, shall naturally help one earn brownie points with this outwardly tough, but inwardly innocent babe. And, genuineness is important, for pretensions won't last long with this smart girl. An Aries woman loves challenges and adventures. Not the typical mother hen type, Aries girl won't like to listen to her partner's insecurities. Rather, she wants a hero who can handle everything, even slaying dragons. A paragon of self-direction herself, she admires self-made men - those who have risked failure and loss, and yet risen to conquer all. She also expects her man to stand by while she fulfils her own ambitions. The best match for her is a man who is secure in himself, and can give her enough space to be her energized and passionate self. The Ram girl loves the chemistry of early romance. She hits the ground running, and is totally engaged from the first date itself. Once in love, she is usually generous to a fault, and can be extremely understanding, especially if her own needs are understood and cared for.

Taurus
The Taurus female is ruled by Venus, a fact that is reflected by her natural and feminine tastes. One who loves to be pampered, the Bull girl admires men who never fail to make her feel special and beautiful. Hence, the basic trappings of romance are essential for her - fine dining, long-stemmed flowers, gourmet chocolates, long drives, dinner by candlelight et al. Although outwardly easygoing, the Taurus female is particular about substance and stability in life and in love. She loves the good life, so she wants to make a wise and realistic choice when it comes to a partner for life. When in a relationship, the Bull gal doesn't believe in playing around. Yet, she expects her partner to be someone with class, taste, manners, style, spirit, and sensibility, not to mention a stable ground (fancy degrees, solid families, moolah - all count). And of course he needs to be loyal and stable; she only expects the commitment she is willing to give. The driving force of a Taurus Female is loyalty. Once she gets someone who fits the bill, she will not hesitate in sacrificing her own needs for those of her partner's.


Gemini
The Gemini girl has multiple sides to her personality and all she wants is a guy who will be compatible with all of them! She loves the phase of being in love - from the stolen glances to the flirty innuendoes, she is totally involved. There are no half measures for this feisty female; she may flirt and tease, but likelihood of her being unfaithful is meagre. As long as she feels an equal commitment from her mate, and an understanding of her Twin opposing needs of freedom and security, she will be a loyal partner. What the choosy Gemini gal is looking for is an ally for her irreverent escapades - someone who can be alternately nutty and sane. Unpredictability and adventure find favour with this girl. Constantly geared up to expand her horizons, she can entertain her mate with witty tales and non-stop chatter. Blessed with a brilliant sense of humour, this girl usually makes for an easygoing, social and extremely articulate companion. Actually, the Gemini female is on an incessant quest for knowledge, so she makes sure to fill her life with varied activities and friends. People-watching may be a hobby for her.

Cancer
A sensitive soul, highly intuitive, the Cancer female needs a partner who would be able to respect her myriad emotions and wavering moods. Tough out, soft in, a Crab girl may be extremely shy in the first few meetings, leading one to believe that she has airs. However, this is just the time that she needs to understand the tuning she may share with the other person. She needs to be sure of the reliability of her partner, before she open up. Crabby girl craves stability, and is often attracted to confident, secure individuals; her ideal partner needs to be both tough and tender. The heart rules a Cancer female, and she believes in taking small steps in a relationship, mostly to ensure that she lets only the right people in. Once in love, she may become clingy, though. She takes the longest time to feel secure in love, so once she is involved, she is totally committed. Her family and friends are crucial to her existence, so she expects her partner to get along with them. All these are signs that she takes this relationship seriously, so the smooth-talking players should stay away.
 
Leo
The Leo female makes heads turn wherever she goes; she exudes so much energy, warmth, and light that people are naturally drawn to her. Naturally vivacious and witty, she can brighten up any drab place. The feeling of being in love is what makes the world go around for the Lioness. Style is her eternal mantra so she expects her mate to pull out all the stops when wooing her;  roses, champagne, moonlit walks, expensive gifts - she wants them all. She thrives on the attention, and being overlooked or ignored is something she will never ever forgive, let alone forget. While her family and career may seem well-knit, the Leo female tends to have a not-so-perfect love life. And yet, the Leo girl adjusts, as long as she is sure of his eternal commitment. She is a loyalist, and can charm her way into people's hearts just by the sheer warmth and generosity she offers. It is important for a Leo Female to be in a relationship where she feels respected and loved. She may get so caught up in the moment that she may overlook the signs of heartbreak early on, focusing on the glamour instead.

Virgo
The Virgo female is a perfectionist, and her mate would do well to remember that at all times. On the other hand, she can be such a softie that she will willingly overlook trivial faults if she feels that the other person is vulnerable. This makes her feel independent and individualistic, as though she can run the whole show, which she does uncomplainingly if she feels respected in the relationship.   She will coolly observe and remember the little things, and question her mate's statements and actions from time to time until she is convinced everything between them is in perfect coordination. The Virgo gal is intelligent and rational in her thought process, so she is not going to be easy to convince of the other's point of view, unless she is sure of the reasoning and research. She doesn't believe in ego massages, so as a partner, one should not expect her to hang on to his every word, or agree with his opinions. Never mistake a practical Virgo Female following her heart over her head; she may be sentimental and romantic, but she's not blind in love.


Libra
The Libra girl is often a stunner, and more than aware of the fact, mind you. Most people may be fooled by her aloof demeanour, and believe her to be arrogant. But remember that, she may be choosy, she herself has such a clear and beautiful mind that it's natural that she take time to find someone she can connect with. Once she is able to match frequencies with her mate, it will be a glorious lifetime of conversations over myriad topics. Not the one to shy away from a good discussion, Libra girl will have a lot to teach her companions, especially in terms of her debating skills. And, remember that she is equally capable of defending the positive and negative side of an argument, as her discerning mind easily critiques the issue and synthesizes information to support her argument. This may become a problem, though, as the Libra girl rarely believes in  giving an argument rest. Lover of beauty and quality in everything, this female is a romantic idealist, and in her search for her Prince Charming, she may leave behind many expectant hearts. And, although, she is no dominatrix, she doesn't want to be bossed over either.

Scorpio
Getting to know a Scorpio gal is not an easy task. Usually fanatical about her space, and suspicious of getting too close too soon, she may keep her probable mates waiting, sometimes for too long. She is addicted to love, and is yet afraid to surrender completely, as she fears disappointment and heartbreak. Her style is to gradually discover the qualities of a prospective mate, and let her love and trust grow over time. To this effect, she is grateful for a partner who gives her the time and space to decide. Not one of the players of the zodiac, she loses herself once she has taken the plunge. She will be loyal and trustworthy, and infuse the relationship with an intensity and intimacy that will be overwhelming. And, she will demand an equal, if not more, unrelenting passion and devotion from her mate. Often magnetically attracted to strong personalities, Scorpio girl herself radiates an unusual confidence, sexuality and ambition. No wonder, this smart one always has practicality and future prospects at the back of her mind. She will have a tendency for vengeance.


Sagittarius
Sagittarius or Archer is the zodiac's free spirit, a true traveller who's comfortable on the road. True to her form, Archer girl has a huge appetite for life, and her partner/ s must share that quality. Finding someone who would keep up with her endless quest for adventure and expansion is no mean task, but the Archer woman is not the one to be deterred. As a passionate, intellectual and independent fire sign, she throws herself in everything with the force of a speeding train. Ruled by expansive Jupiter (the largest planet in our solar system), she is liable to think BIG. She, thus, needs a mate with a definite vision. And, he has to be grounded enough to reassure her when the going gets tough. Honest to the point of bluntness, she Archer, however, may drive her mate crazy with her dark humour and stinging remarks. But again, as zodiac's optimist, she always manages to see her mate's potential. Physical attraction plays a vital role in the Sagittarius woman's love domain. Yet, there's an innocence about this lady that's so very captivating. Free birds, these women, once they find true love, don't hesitate in settling down, though.  

Capricorn
The Capricorn woman is a formidable force - cool and intimidating at times. As zodiac's most goal-oriented sign, Goat is not the one to play around. In fact, the Goat girl would rather be alone than jump from partner to partner. As the sign of public image, Goats are also status-conscious, and they want the definite material qualities in their partners. The sign rules the zodiac's tenth house of career; no wonder they have CEO written all over them. These ambitious and sensible women, however, need to learn that they cannot and should not fail to feed their relationships with care, affection and love. The loyalty of these tough gals is not to be underestimated, though, even when they appear flirty or flitty on the surface. It also pays to remember that behind their secure exteriors lies a deep reservoir of self-doubt. Family is important to them, and they must find a stable ground to feel secure. It takes a confident lover to win her respect and her heart. The female Goat admires those who achieve, despite the odds. Not the one to leave things to chance, she is a one-woman planning committee. And, she loves it when she makes correct decisions. She would not dominate in a relationship, but would also not take things lying down.

Aquarius
Aquarius is the sign of groups, friendship and humanitarian pursuits. Connecting with a partner on the mental plane is far more important for Aquarius beings than seeing them in the flesh every day. A she-Aquarius has a cool social ease, and she loves her freedom to bits. Her contact list is often full with an eclectic mix of characters. Known to look beyond labels, she would date across the age, race and culture spectrum. But, she likes to be friends first, and stay that way, no matter what. This girl can bring so much fun, creativity and whackiness to a relationship. Her strength of individuality shines through in any conversation. She prides herself on being a progressive thinker, and loves a thorough challenge; she can be a maddening debater. The female Water-bearer is quite unpredictable, intelligent and astute. A keen observer, she loves originality in her men. She likes being in touch with her mate/s via gizmos and modern communication systems. Yet, being sure that she is in love can be tricky. She may be engrossed in an intimate chat with a friend a moment, and the next, she may pull away - her line disconnected, her phone unreachable.

Pisces
The ocean-sized eyes of Pisces girl let you know this is no ordinary woman. Often watery, and quick to brim with tears or twinkle with joy, they don't let the Fish miss anything. A kind, sincere heart is a real draw to her. The shy and considerate romantic Fish girl loves the idea of being in love - at least, in theory. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of fantasy, most Pisces girls prefer to be swept off their feet by romance. Glamorous and intuitive Pisces also rules the imagination, and that is why Pisces girls have their unique way of making everything feel tinged with magic and fantasy. Their intense creativity, desire to make the world a better place, and love for all creatures makes them a total catch. Gentle, nurturing and sensitive, they form reliable and ardent lovers. However, they get disillusioned quickly, which may lead them to the famous Pisces escapism. These girls may also be drawn to most unlikely of the people, including tortured souls and people with a dark side. Unfortunately, this vulnerability may make them victims of betrayal and deception. Once she lets her guard down, she is also liable to be treated as a doormat, given her submissive nature.

Why love is actually a 'drug'

London, Feb 14 (ANI): It is often believed that 'love is a drug'' and now a new research has confirmed that romance really does work in a similar manner as addiction to illegal substances and activates a reaction in the same part of the brain.

Those smitten will produce an emotional response in the part of the grey matter usually involved withmotivation and reward.

Our brains have been hardwired to choose a mate, and we become so motivated to win them over that we are sometimes willing to go to extreme lengths, the Daily Mail reported.

The reward comes by identifying that something feels good and is worth the effort.

"You can feel happy when you're in love, but you can also feel anxious," said Lucy Brown, a neuroscientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.

Professor Brown insisted that the reward part of the brain or pleasure centre is vital for our survival as this drives the need to have sex.

"Intense passionate love uses the same system in the brain that gets activated when a person is addicted to drugs," co-author Arthur Aron, a psychologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, said.

Their study looked at magnetic resonance images of the brains of 10 women and seven men who claimed that they were deeply in love.

The length of their relationships ranged from one month to less than two years.

Participants were shown photographs of their loved one, and photos of a similar-looking person.

It found that romantic love is one of the most powerful emotions a person can have.

They also divulged that the length of time couples were together made little difference to the intensity of their feelings.

The researchers discovered that in each of these long-term lovers, brain regions were also stimulated when they looked at photos of their partners.

Long-term love showed activity in the regions associated with attachment and liking a reward.

"For most people, the standard pattern is a slow decline in passionate love but a growth in bonding,"Dr Aron said.

"As long as love remains, we get used to the relationship, and we're not afraid our partner will leave us, so we're not as focused on the craving," Dr Aron added. (ANI)

Lies that most of the romantic novels tell!

All those who are fond of reading theromantic novels must have got hold of the similarity in the usage of certain lines, which stands to be common in almost all the romantic fictions. 

Want to know what they are, just read on:  

1. Happy ending
This might not be the case in real life, the story might talk of the couple living happily ever after but reality can be far different.

2. It’s all about a tall, dark and handsome dude
Give it a break, does love only calls for physical attraction. We think the writers must now get over this age old way of describing the hero.

3. Grand expensive gestures to express love
You don't always need expensive declarations of love to know that someone cares for you. 

4. Relations are easy to handle
We wonder how this can ever be possible on earth! Relations are the most difficult to be handled.  

5. Follow your heart
Listening what your heart says is good but ignoring the thoughtful mind is not the right way of dealing with life.   

6. Drug addicts, abusers, alcoholics, skirt chasers can all be reformed with love
People do change but the ratio stands to be quite less. Taking on the responsibility of an addict or alcoholic demands a lot from you as a person! So, just don’t get fascinated by reading that people like them can be reformed with love.

Next time you get hold of a romantic novel, make sure to read between the lines!

Valentine's Day make up guide for the stunning look!

Those, of you pretty ladies, who love to dress the best and look different from the rest must be eagerly waiting for the Valentine’s Daywhen you can turn the princess for the man you love.

And of course, the day calls for you to be at your stunning best as nothing can be better than spending the day with your lover. So check out these three unique styles of dressing up as suggested by Simmi Ghai, make-up artist and founder of Xpressions salon.  

1. For a soft, romantic look
For this look you need to curl your lashes and apply either black or brown mascara. Now, apply a very pale, sheer pink blush on your cheekbones. This is done to create an accent of pink to give your face a lift so keep it as light as possible. Dab some gloss on your lips and you're good to go.

2. For a vivid, sexy look
This look needs you to enhance your eyes. For this, you will have to add individual lashes to your lash line. Begin by applying mascara to your natural eyelashes. Then add the false lashes along the rim of your eyes. Apply a basic blush on your cheeks and colour your lips with a deep Bordeaux red lipstick or rich, berry lip stain.

3. For a lovely, smoldering look
Opt for a black eye shadow and apply it evenly across your eye lids, lining the charcoal-like black towards the edges. Apply mascara on the lashes and use a deep ruby lip colour for a matte look on the lips.

Look dazzling on this Valentine’s Day!

Top 10 proven signs she's interested

So, you have been trying to guess for some time now, your gut feeling says that yes, she is definitely into you but your mind suggests that you shouldn’t proceed unless you are a bit more sure. When faced with the predicament of finding out whether she is actually interested in you or not, check-out the following signs:

1. She Makes Suggestive Eye Contact

Eye contact or ‘eye play’ as it is referred to by many people, is perhaps the most suggestive and confirmative of all signs. If her eye contact with you is devoid of too many blinks, if she doesn’t hesitate to stare back at you and if you find her trying to make eye contact with you even from a distance, you have definitely managed to impress her in some way.

 2. She Keeps Suggesting Catching A Cup Of Coffee Together

Asking out a lady for a cup of coffee remains the most formal and accepted forms of initiating the process of getting familiar with the fairer sex, helping to establish if the liking is mutual. Once a male bastion, girls are open to asking out men for coffee these days and if she has asked you out repeatedly, she is indirectly hinting that she enjoys your company and wants you to take the next step.

3. She Keeps Getting Closer When Being Distant Is An Option

Have you have noticed that even during formal conversation and in circumstances when physical proximity wasn’t needed, she seemed unusually close to you? She might change her seat during a meeting or lunch to be seated next to you or might repeatedly shake hands with you for casual congratulations or lean over your desk when having a conversation, when standing upright seemed feasible. These are sure signs of her growing interest in you.

4. She Seems To Have A Regular Schedule For You

Trying to think of the last few days—if it seems that she has created a pattern that includes wishing your good morning and the evening goodbye with a big smile, messaging you goodnight, emailing you happy quotes or jokes and being curious about what you had for lunch, it suggests that she has put some thought into ensuring that you are reminded about her presence throughout the day.

5. Her Availability Is Never An Issue

Either at her desk, at the gym or even during a late-night call, it seems that she always has time for you. Even if her phone is busy, she makes it a point to call you back immediately. Even if she seems overloaded with work, she makes a point to exchange pleasantries with you or ask about your day.

6. She Molds Conversations Towards Opportunities Of Companionship

If conversations with her have been lately carrying subtle hints about going out together, exploring new eating joints or doing a combo purchase on that new online deal, it is highly suggestive that she is seeking your company or is at least, indicating that she enjoys your presence—whether in a platonic manner or romantic, you need to scrape further.

7. She Is Ready To Counsel You

If it seems that she is always there trying to help you or counsel you over the smallest issue you might have told her about, chances of her being interfering or over-friendly also arise but it is also possible that she is trying to show her interest in your life. If she seems genuinely interested and constantly takes updates about your problems, it is most likely she cares for you in some capacity.

8. Some Openly Flirtatious Gestures

Occasionally, licking or biting her lips in a slightly seductive manner when you guys are talking and teasing you about your purely bachelor status are gestures that you have ignited some degree of liking for you within her. If her seemingly innocent smiles have been getting more frequent and she has been forwarding you naughty SMSs regularly, it is time you asked her out. If some of the most dependable female traits are decoded in terms of their flirtatious intent, then the tendency of a lady to repeatedly flick her hair or run her fingers through her mane is perhaps the most established signs of her seductive tendencies taking over.

9. She Has Been Probing You

If you find out that she has been trying to keep a tab on you, finding more about your personal and professional life from acquaintances or getting too curious on Facebook, it is a definite sign that is genuinely interested in you.

10. She Despises Other Women Near You

Call it jealously or possessiveness, but most women are vulnerable to openly displaying their disgust for their men being poached upon by other women, even those whom you have declared as your friend or an office sister. If you see her frowning or getting upset whenever you get too pally with your female office mates, you can assume that she thinks of you two together in some way
