A New Way to be Sure About Your New Relationship

Tired of aimless dating that leads nowhere?

Looking for a life partner and not willing to waste anymore time?

Willing to spend a week with your potential new mate and pay for it?

Well then, welcome to Hotel Possibility: the place where you can learn what is really up with the new person in your life.

Hotel Possibility is open to the possibility that if two people who are attracted to one another spend a week in each other’s company they will discover whether or not they are compatable and thus save a lot of  time and money in the  future.

Hotel Possibility is a quiet, well situated place with 50 rooms each with a separate bath. There is a restaurant with excellent food as well as numerous sports facilities on the premises. The hotel grounds are comprised of 50 acres of rolling hills with a nine hole golf course, a shooting range, and several tennis courts. There is also a large work out facility and two pools: one indoor and one outdoor. Spa services are available at any hour of the day or night. Service is our middle name here at Hotel Possibility.

When a couple signs up for a week at Hotel Possibility they receive a packet which contains a brief questionnaire for both to fill out. Upon receiving the questionnaires as well as a 50% deposit for the week, a couple is given their schedule as well as the medical tests they will receive on the first day. Hotel Possibility removes all issues for new couples by providing testing for all possible communicable diseases and has results ready within 24 hours.

Once a couple has been given the test results, they will also be given a series of psychological tests which will determine their compatibility. Each couple will be given a lie detector test using the questions their new prospective partner wants them to answer. Our staff psychologists worked previously with Wall Street professionals and are experienced with discovering exaggeration and mistruth.

After the first 48 hours at the hotel the couple has all the practical information they may need to know about each other and can decide at this point if they want to continue with the week’s plan. Should a couple decide to leave at this point they are refunded the balance of their deposit with the exception of medical costs, meals and 2 night’s occupancy.

Over the course of the next 4 days each couple engages in a series of social events, athletic events and solo evenings. There are guided conversations, water balloon fights, roller coaster rides as well as quiet time on the golf course. All couples are encouraged to nap each afternoon.

Hotel Possibility eliminates all the stress of dating and gives you a safe place to really get to know the one you are interested in. The atmosphere is discreet and peaceful yet lively and fun. Some of our couples miss the midnight disco when they return to the real world.

Why not try our hotel? It is the only place of its kind in the world? Don’t spend any more time wondering and waiting for the romance to unfold. Book two rooms at the Hotel Possibility and see whether or not you can make a match before a year more of your life passes. No guest has ever said they didn’t have a really good time!

Carol Gilligan Study Turned Philosophy

Image via Wikipedia

There’s a woman named Carol Gilligan who wrote about the differences between girls and boys in terms of how they were praised in childhood. She wrote about other, more complicated, things as well but I always remember this study. She described how girls were praised for “getting along well” with their friends, while boys were praised for accomplishing things. “Good Boy! Billy! You built that castle really well!”

“Good Boy! Sam! You really did a good job making that airplane fly. “

Reading about this study always made me sad as I wished I had been raised more like a boy as my life would have been less stressful. I think this may be true for a number of women. It may also be true that if both boys and girls were raised with a bit of both the universe would be better off. Perhaps then boys would be more comfortable discussing emotions and girls could more easily get satisfaction from their accomplishments.

I am always doing research into the dating world as that’s what interests me being single myself. I stumbled upon a series of questions designed to find compatibility in a mate last night which made me think of this topic. The question was, “What makes you more nervous, a promising first date or an important job interview?”

My answer was an important job interview. Dating to me is now kind of a fun game. I can’t take it seriously or I wouldn’t keep doing it. I think about it in the same way an athlete get ready for a game: I dress carefully, rehearse positive behavior in my mind, and visualize a positive outcome. I actually enjoy most dates these days as they will either end out in a possible relationship or they won’t. I can’t really tell one way or the other and can only enjoy the time spent with a new person. I believe someone will come along soon who will be exactly right for me and I believe this with all of my heart.

I do, however, get nervous before an important job interview. I always have. It has become somewhat easier as an adult but I still feel anxious and forget to practice positive visualization techniques. I can hear voices in my little brain repeating that I am not as good as other candidates and why should they hire me? I know I have this lack of confidence in my own ability because there were few expectations for us as children in our family. There was already one superstar so to imagine another was pretty impossible.

I often think about Carol Gilligan because in my life I notice how good I feel when I accomplish something whether it is fixing something in my house or finishing a piece for my blog. I like work and always have. I think people who never get satisfaction from work are those to be pitied as it is a sense like no other. If you are having a bad day and find something for yourself to accomplish, I can guarantee you will feel better. It is an amazing thing.

Happy Sunday!
