Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThis Article is Gold and deserves to be sitting alongside the other star articles, even though it is not an article. But with 70 plus responses I think it qualifies as an article on what you would like to see developed on the dearcupid site.Historically the article is also Gold because it shows how many of the changes made to the site happened in the earlier days directly as a result of suggestions from enthusiastic readers and users of the site. http://www.dearcupid.org/question/site-news-wanted-your-ideas-for-features-and.html And yes I read all the responses and I was impressed with how many great ideas were implemented by dearcupid following some great suggestions in the above article.

Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthis is not an article but it is a gorgeous answer that Missy_25 wrote in reply to a poster.
Missy_25 answered the following question - and her answer is worth pinning up somewhere prominent at home. Her advice was AAA all stars and I loved it.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/she-no-longer-shows-affection---.html
Her response to the poster was detailed in her response.
It's an answer that is loving ways to show your love:
From Missy_25:
"you should read about 5 languages of love. Maybe you and her just show love in a whole different way. figure out which one it is (Like your style is words of affirmation and maybe thats what you want to be shown too, it could be quality time as your receiving languaget etc.). You can show her the best way by then but they have a point, she may need some space. I know that smothering me with too much affection makes me want to ask for more space from my partner.
Here goes:
Emotional Love Languages:
1) Words of Affirmation
This is when you say how nice your spouse looks, or how great the dinner tasted. These words will also build your mate's self image and confidence.
2) Quality Time
Some spouses believe that being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is your partner's love language, turn off the TV now and then and give one another some undivided attention.
3) Gifts
It is universal in human cultures to give gifts. They don't have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. Spouses who forget a birthday or anniversary or who never give gifts to someone who truly enjoys gift giving will find themselves with a spouse who feels neglected and unloved.
4) Acts of Service
Discovering how you can best do something for your spouse will require time and creativity. These acts of service like vacuuming, hanging a bird feeder, planting a garden, etc., need to be done with joy in order to be perceived as a gift of love.
5) Physical Touch
Sometimes just stroking your spouse's back, holding hands, or a peck on the cheek will fulfill this need."
Thank you Missy_25 for making my day.

Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionValentine’s Day – that special time each year for lovers. To some people Valentine’s day is very very special.
To others the day passes without another thought. So often people start thinking about Valentine’s day and need some ideas or some support.
So I searched this site for some questions that have received some really good response. There are twelve such posts below.
So now this Article on Great Articles has a special Section just on Valentine’s issues.
Thus there are now 58 Articles in this Article and add to that 12 questions on Valentine’s day below.
Hope you find something that resonates with you. Or something that answers a question you have been pondering over about Valentine’s Day.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/what-should-i-get-my-boyfriend-for-valentines.html
- this question from SweetiePie received 205 answers. Very Impressive. And a lot of ideas within the article.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/what-do-i-write-in-a-valentines-card.html
And this one was from Anonymous and received 57 answers
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/what-do-i-get-my-boyfriend-for-valentines.html
and another Anonymous one with 76 answers.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/first-valentines-with-my-girlfriend-and-i-have.html
Sleek Sunny from Ghana wrote the question above and he received 8 answers. I do hope his Girlfriend was impressed.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/what-is-the-best-budget-valentines-gift.html
a Male anonymous poster wrote this question above.
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/ladies-give-me-some-creative-different-ideas-on.html
and another male anonymous wrote this one for Creative ideas for presents – he received seven replies
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/a-valentines-poem.html
Confuddled545 a teen male wrote the poem so I suspect he is a romantic man – he received 7 replies
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/i-always-thought-valentines-day-was-about-the.html
while a girl AlaMich88 posed an interesting question and received nine answers
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/my-boyfriend-got-me-nothing-for-valentines-or.html
An anonymous female lamented the lack of presents from her boyfriend in 2012. I do hope the boyfriend has lifted his game since then
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/i-hate-being-single-for-valentines-day-what.html
And in 2011 BrentLIves , a man, wrote a very valid question that probably resonated with many people
http://www.dearcupid.org/question/valentines-day-gift-i-dont-want-to-get.html
And an anonymous female poster asked for advice in January 2013 – so she was certainly planning in advance and was not leaving things until the last minute
Hope these posts on Valentine's day help someone this week

Sometimes some additional material may be pertinent to your own unique situation and therefore this resource may help.
But other times there will be NEW questions that are entirely UNIQUE to your situation and where you need answers that are entirely tailored to meet your situation.
That is when you should post your NEW question on the site so that Aunts and Uncles can help you NOW
Today is just ONE extra post on 'Teacher Crushes' and questions that ask: 'I am in love with my teacher' posts.
I even found an ARTICLE from MusicalMistress on the subject.
And I found one question with 80 responses on the subject.
I could not resist also posting these extra posts on students in love with their teacher or lecturer. The Article was a bonus.

Yes there are thousands out there who do understand the Crush scenario and know what are the pitfalls and the problems that can result.
The student does not want to become the central issue in a situation that could get out of hand.
profesional teachers don't want to jeopardise their career or worse end up in jail.
And so many of us have been there. my teacher when I was 14 had a whole class of girls all besotted with him. And he had the nerve :) to bring his fiance to the school. A whole class of 14 year old girls had been wishing and hoping. We never even knew that our beloved teacher was dating. And at 15 we had all moved on to other things. But now, see some school photos from long ago, i truly do not know why we had such a crush on him.
The passage of time can heal so much. and help us to get over so much.

There is nothing worse than that horrible sinking feeling of rejection. And it is true, we can come back from almost anything. Because the passage of time and the human spirit are wonderful healers.
