Being in love with a Gemini man can be both wonderful and challenging. If you’re a woman who has fallen for one of these men you already know that. Gemini men have so many fantastic, endearing and charming qualities. They are intelligent and loyal. These men also are spontaneous and very fun, so be prepared for a lifetime of adventures if you’re fortunate enough to get the Gemini man in your life to want to commit to you. Many women find that these men are slow to take any romantic relationship to the next level. There’s a reason for that and once you understand what it is, you can then work on helping him get over any emotional barriers he may have so he can give himself to you and your future together.

Embrace the Relationship as It Is

Gemini men generally don’t follow their heart into a commitment. They, instead, lead with their head. They think their relationship through before they decide if it’s right for them. They aren’t easily swayed by romantic gestures or heartfelt love letters. They want to know that the partner they choose to spend their life with will be a good fit for them in the long term.

To this end, it’s important that you don’t push your man into a commitment before he’s ready. If you try that tactic he’s likely going to either pull back from the connection, or break it off entirely. He doesn’t want to feel as though he’s being pressured into something that he’s not certain is right for him.

He wants to take his time evaluating how well you two fit together as a couple. That’s why it’s essential that you embrace the relationship in the here and now. Don’t chase after him and don’t constantly talk about where you hope things are headed in the future. Be your honest and genuine self today and that will impress him as he’s considering his future and your possible future together as a married couple.

This is also important in terms of sharing what you’re feeling with him. You may want to scream from the rooftops that you love him and can’t wait to be his wife. If he’s not emotionally ready to hear this, don’t be shocked if he retreats to the point that he’s suddenly too busy to spend time with you. Men born under this sign are easily spooked, so you must allow him to set the tone and the pace of the relationship. He wants to be with someone who is relaxed and not focused on an engagement ring or extravagant wedding.

Keep Him Captivated By Being Interesting

A man born under the astrological sign of the Gemini will typically be highly intelligent. These men crave information and they are often on a lifelong journey to learn as much as they can about whatever they can. If you want to appeal to a man like this it’s important that you adopt his unending need for gaining more and more knowledge.

That’s not to suggest that you should change who you are but there are many benefits for any woman who continues to acquire new information on a daily basis. If you stay abreast of what’s happening in the news, if you read the latest and greatest best sellers and if you pursue an interest in things you find fascinating, you’re going to become a much more attractive person in every aspect of your life.

Your Gemini guy wants to be able to have a conversation with you that includes some depth. He wants to know that you can keep up with him on a debate about virtually anything. If you can do this, it will not only impress him, it will create a bond that will be difficult to break. Gemini men want and need to find a woman who views the world, and all it has to offer, with a sense of wonder.

Don’t Be Afraid to Flirt With Him

Regardless of how long you’ve been with your Gemini, you can be certain that he loves it when you flirt with him. A man like this wants and needs to know that the woman he’s involved with can’t get enough of him. He wants to get flirty text messages occasionally throughout the day and he loves when she tells him there isn’t another man in the world that she finds as attractive as him.

Some relationships cool down over time and in the case of a connection with a Gemini, that can spell early disaster. If he feels that you aren’t putting in the effort to make him feel loved and adored anymore, he may cast his attention elsewhere.

In addition to ensuring you show him how you feel through small gestures on a daily basis, there’s also tremendous value in planning something spontaneous for the two of you to do together. Gemini men aren’t that intrigued by huge, romantic spectacles. They are more taken when a woman puts in an effort to plan an evening or a day date that involves something they love to do.

If your guy is into sailing, plan a weekend sailing trip for the two of you. Or maybe he’s always wanted to take up the sport of scuba diving. Find a local place where you can both take lessons and then plan for a trip a few months from now. Anything you can do that shows that you understand and embrace him and his interests, is going to melt his heart.

Just be certain to show him, through actions and works, on a continual basis how fortunate you feel to be loved by him. If you do this, instead of pushing him repeatedly for a commitment, you are going to make him want to commit to you because he’ll see you as his ideal life partner. Subtlety is the key when you are trying to get a Gemini man to see you as the women of his dreams.

Marriage is honorable. Everyone desires a peaceful and love-filled relationship or marriage. Many ladies have a lot of misconceptions about attracting the right man into their lives. Some think it’s by dressing half-naked or by easily getting laid that attracts men to them. This way, however, you will certainly earn some attention, but the question is: who are they? Are they men you would like to spend the rest of your life with?

Today, we want to look at how a christian lady can attract a Godly man for marriage. As mentioned earlier, worldly people employ all-kinds of unwholesome style but christians MUST stand-out in the following ways:

Decency. There is a saying that the way you dress is the way you’re addressed. Christian ladies must make sure that they dress and present themselves well. Let me tell you: men are visual and no man, including christian men, who will not recognize when he sees a lady he likes. And how do you as a christian lady attract his attention? By dressing decently viz: covering every part of your body appropriately with outfits that complement your figure; nice shoes; good hair-do and well-manicured/pedicured nails. You may not wear make-up or perfume but if you must wear make-up, it must be moderate, not shouting, so as not to create an impression of who you are not.

Confidence. Confidence is very attractive. As a christian lady, are you always confident in yourself? Do you know your worth and value? Do you love yourself for who you are, and the way you look? Don’t forget: these things show in your personality and carriage. Men get easily attracted to women of confidence. That you’re a christian is not an excuse but you must be careful not to misconstrue confidence as pride or arrogance.

Friendly Disposition. They say: to be a friend, you need to be a friend. Relationships are founded on friendships. So, you have to learn to be friendly. You need to be approachable. Make it possible for people to get along with you easily; always show love, caring and kindness. Learn to wear smiles on your face. This way you would be attracting Godly attention to yourself.

Respect for People. Respect for others is yet another key for attracting Godly men. The truth is: beauty is not the ultimate in marriage but character and personality are. Beauty can attract a man to you but it’s your character that determines whether he stays or not. People normally, especially in the church, observe your character from afar. They want to see if you’re that kind of a christian lady who respects and honors other people. If you are, I would not be surprised to see a Godly man making moves towards getting to know you.

Love God. When you love God with all your heart, mind and soul, HE will make HIS abode in you, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, HE will continually direct your affairs including that of attracting a Godly husband. This love of God will show in everything you do and in the way you relate with people. God says: you are the light of the world. It will become true in your life. People will quickly discern that you would not find it difficult to respect and submit to your husband.

Kingdom Service. There is always an opportunity for you to serve in the church. By genuinely working in God’s vineyard, HE will work in your own vineyard. That is HIS promise! By serving in the choir; being a church warden; or being a member of any other pious society in the church, you showcase yourself for the congregation to evaluate your character and personality. But don’t you ever enter into Kingdom Service because you want to attract a man. Let it be instead, because you love God and you love to serve HIM. That way HE will meet you at the points of your needs.

Mistreatment of Men. As a christian lady who wants to contract a Godly marriage, how do you handle men who approach you? It’s like customer service! Most customers when they are mishandled, they tell as many prospective customers as come their way, how they were mistreated. And this impacts on the company’s sales margin. It is the same when a lady turns down a man rudely. He will spread the ‘gospel’ amongst other faithfuls in the church. You will be portrayed as unapproachable and that will scare other men that were eyeing you and were just waiting for an opportunity to let you know about it. If you’re to turn down a guy you don’t quite like, you’ve got to do it politely with love. God bless you!

The love and fear of God should be the salient guiding principles for christian ladies seeking to attract Godly men for marriage. If everything is done beginning with God, it will surely end with God taking centre-stage of the relationship and eventual marriage.

Men and women are undeniably different in a variety of ways. We learn that very early in life when we face conflict with the boys we date in middle and high schools. Men, of all ages, tend to keep their feelings very close to the vest. They aren’t as quick to divulge what they’re feeling and they often will work hard to try to work through any conflict that they feel on their own. To men, this may be viewed as a manly way to handle emotions but to women it’s not. It inevitably results in men that are emotionally unavailable and distant. Trying to meander through a relationship with a man like this is never an easy task. You become flustered and frustrated very easily when you’re trying to determine exactly what your man feels for you and what’s going through his mind. Relationships don’t have to be this complicated. You can get him to open up to you in a way that makes him feel safe and nurtured. Imagine having a connection with the man you adore that is honest, open and mutually satisfying? It’s definitely within your grasp if you understand the key steps you need to take to help awaken his inner core and get him to share it with you.

Understand That Your Man Needs Certain Things to Feel Emotionally Safe

Men, in general, don’t enjoy feeling vulnerable. They will do almost anything it takes to avoid that feeling. That’s why when a woman confronts a man about his deepest feelings and desires, he’ll often retreat. He’ll say things about not wanting to talk about it, or he loves you and what else is there to talk about. If you push a man to talk in a way that makes him feel stripped or cornered, he’ll shut down. He needs to feel emotionally safe before he can bare his innermost feelings.

You can create a closer bond which in turn will make him more willing to open up. Be clear with him that he is the man for you. If you’re the type of woman who plays games with a man in an effort to get him to fall deeper in love or to get him to proclaim his undying love, you’re never truly going to get him to share with you. You have to be painfully honest with him about your feelings. Don’t go on and on about how deeply you love him. Simply state in a very clear, concise and honest way that he’s the man you care for and there’s no competition for your adoration in your life. In other words, you’re not interested in other men. It’s just him in your eyes.

Also, it’s incredibly important that you make certain that your man feels completely and unequivocally accepted by you for the person he is. If you’re constantly trying to change something about him, he’s not going to be as willing to share anything personal in an emotional sense with you. He’ll feel judged on a continual basis and that’s not a recipe for a happy, healthy and loving bond.

Don’t Rush Him Into Opening Up Emotionally

One of the crucial mistakes that many women make in their quest to bond emotionally with their man is they push him to share what he’s feeling too soon. Men like to do things on their own timetables and that’s especially true in a relationship sense.

If you repeatedly tell him that you believe you two need to talk about your feelings and he doesn’t open up during any of these conversations, that’s a good indicator that now is not the time to continue to push. Let it go for awhile. Focus on the fun that you two have and not on where the relationship is headed.

A man is much more willing to open himself up emotionally if he doesn’t feel threatened or coerced into it. Many women who have been in the same position as you will tell you that when they stopped asking their man what he was feeling, he started sharing.

He wants to believe the idea of being more transparent is coming from within him, so allow that to happen. Take each day as it comes and give him the emotional room he needs to feel safe and secure in the relationship with you. Once that happens, and he feels confident in your unwavering devotion to him, he’ll feel much better about showing all his emotional cards to you.

Don’t Push for More Than He’s Giving

Once your man does take a step towards sharing more of his innermost feelings, be as accepting as you possibly can. It’s not uncommon for a woman to want to rush the relationship into the next phase. If you do this, you’re going to risk him pulling back or worse yet, taking off for good.

Although you may feel that the relationship is at a point where you want to say to your man that you’re ready to settle down and start a life together, he may just be inching towards telling you that he loves you more than he’s ever loved any woman. Once he does share that, cherish it. Don’t push him to devote himself to you for the rest of his life. Accept and embrace what he can give, when he can give it. If you do that, he’ll feel a drive to get closer and closer to you.

Winning a tournament is like playing a game of chess. It is very strategy oriented. Even in beginner level competitions, if your team has no plan or some sort of working strategy, chances are high you will not even make it past the first round. While there are many different strategies used by very successful players, the best advice is to practice several and stick with what works in most situations. The variable is not knowing what the other team is going to do and you should be ready to change to another plan very quickly should you find your original strategy not working.

For a 3-man event, your number of guns is quite limited but it will be important to spread as many around the field as possible off the whistle. It’s best to try and get wide on the field. This means, try and send at least one player to a corner bunker or to a bunker on the side of the field as fast as possible. The corner works well, or the first snake bunker (snake 1) or even the snake insert bunker. The reason for this is to spread your team’s base of fire to make it difficult for the opposing team from coming to your side without passing through crossfire. This is called a ‘delay break’. An example of this strategy would be to have 1 player occupy the snake side of the field, 1 player to the dorito bunker side of the field and the 3rd player to the snake insert bunker or to the corner. The players would then fire steady streams of paintballs while trying to copy the movement of their opponents, moving to the same (but opposite) bunkers as them.

The delay break is beneficial because it will allow your team to move without being seen. When the opponent slides behind their bunker, the player will make and equal move into the mirror bunker. Since the opponent will be sliding into their bunker, they will not see the player move to their bunker. This means, when the opponent leans out of his bunker to take a shot at the player, he will be shooting at the wrong bunker. This tends to leave the opponent over exposed in his current spot which will allow the player to make an effective shot. If the player misses his shot, they will then need to become intelligently aggressive with immediate forward movement. Aggressive movement should only be made during windows of opportunity however. The player will shoot at the opponent which will cause the opponent to get behind his bunker, then it will be safe for the player to make a move to the next bunker. This will give the same effect as the delayed break. The opponent will come out shooting at the wrong bunker giving the player an opportunity to make a more effective shot at his opponent.

If the player finds they are unable to make the shot on their opponent, they need to communicate the opponent’s position to the rest of the team. The team should also be communicating where the other 2 opponents are on the field. Once all of the opponents’ positions have been voiced to the other members, the team should “cross the field”. This means the players on the left side of the field will shoot at the players on the right side of the field and vice versa. However, players on the right should still pay attention to the right side of the field and vice versa. Do not get tunnel vision stuck watching the one opponent you’re aiming at. This is a common distraction and can lead to the destruction of this strategy. When ‘crossing the field’ with fire, it often causes opponents to lean too far out on the opposite side of the bunker they’re hiding behind. For example, if a player on the left side of the field shoots at an opponent on the right side of the field, it will cause the opponent to lean more to the right side of the bunker, leaving an opening for the player on the right side of the field.

When any opponents have been eliminated, communication to the other team members of this is an alert for the team to start moving down the field after the remaining opponents. In a three versus three game, when one player is eliminated, the odds are highly stacked against the remaining two. A smart full three man team will turn on the heat and aggression to quickly try and corner the other opposing players. Trying to herd them into a close group of two is a great strategy whenever possible however difficult if the remaining two are spread far apart. When practicing, set up situations like this and give each player a specific role. Make sure the other players know about everyone else’s jobs and can fill into another spot should one get eliminated. With such small teams, this is a key point and should be done very quickly when a player goes down.

For a three man team, different roles include the Delay Break Player, Home Player and Runner. The Runner’s job is to move as quickly as possible into a predetermined bunker; he will not shoot off the initial whistle but rather immediately run to his spot. The Delay Break Player will provide cover fire for the runner on the opposite side of the field that the runner is on until they reach their spot. Once the runner makes it, the Delay Break Player should move into the mirror bunker opposite the runner. Off the break, the Home Player will provide cover fire on the same side of the field as the runner until he reaches his bunker position. Once this happens, the Home Player should constantly communicate to the other players everyone’s positions as well as info about the opposing team’s movement. Communication is not just the Home Player’s job however; the best teams communicate info as they receive it no matter what position they play.

While there are many variations of movement and nearly endless scenarios to practice, these are just a few strategies used in 3-man events to start the thought process. The best strategy is to be prepared by practicing several different plays so you are ready to switch gears when necessary at any time. Knowing how to read your opponents is something that comes with experience but will be an important part of making on the spot adjustments to your strategy. Find a strategy that works and stick with it. Once you find several strategies that work, use them until they don’t; don’t fix something that isn’t broken or make sudden new changes at the last minute you haven’t practiced. Opposing teams with experience will know you’re flying by the seat of your pants and take advantage of it right away. It’s best to stay with what you’ve practiced and take notes about what worked and what didn’t. Changes should be made during practice sessions and not in the middle of a competition.
