Any time you invite somebody into your house there's an implication. Most men are open to taking a first date further, but most women are perfectly satisfied with a simple goodbye. Women don't want to feel they owe something because they were taken out to dinner.

The best way to avoid conversation gaps in the conversation is to ask your date about herself or himself. Keep in mind that your questions are charming and never ask two questions in a row to avoid that "interview syndrome". It is good idea to follow a question with a statement to add some value to your conversation. keep in mind that conversation is an art and try to avoid bragging about yourself or jokes about awkward silences.

It seems your husband is afraid that unless he supplies the motivation, your kids won't perform up to his expectations, which is not true. Turning house chores and other basic activities into competitions is bad for kids. The key is to find healthy ways for your kids to compete. Competitiveness by itself is generally not a bad thing — it's how people treat competitions that make them unhealthy. Talk to your husband and ask him to regularly reinforce the message that it is okay to lose as long as they are working hard, putting in their best effort, and learning from the experience. Comparing your children's abilities can make them feel hurt and insecure. Also avoid discussing the differences between children in front of them. When praising one of your kids, describe his or her action or accomplishment — rather than comparing it to how his or her sibling does it.

If you are asked for advice or opinion it's good to provide one. It's ok to listen to your date's problems for 10 to 15 minutes, but then try to switch subjects. If that doesn't work, it's best to be honest and tell your date what's bothering you.

If you don't like the restaurant choice, suggest another opinion, or at least say you'll try it. You don't want to come off too bossy on a first date. If you have a chance ask your date what kind of food she or he likes before making any reservations.

You shouldn't be afraid to say what you're looking for. Otherwise you can be disappointed if you realize later that the person you're dating just want to have fun or expresses opposite preference.

Making the transition can be super awkward for some couples and it is going to be process, not an overnight success. Start to explore new levels of intimacy together and never express judgment or criticism. Take time and pressure off by playing an adult board game (available at adult stores or online) and explore some hot scenarios and positions. When you follow the game instructions you'll feel able to do things you'd be shy to admit you've actually wanted to try. Try also talking dirty during sex to intensify the experience. You can also start writing erotic stories to each others. Write about your fantasies or erotic dreams and make your partner the star. keep in mind that wild sex is about wild respect and wild trust.
