Priyanka Chopra on the most romantic things you can do for your girl and what a perfect date looks like – Pulse Nigeria
Priyanka Chopra, the former Miss World and superstar actress who just tied the knot with Nick Jonas, the love of her life, in a glorious sequence of beautiful ceremonies wants you to know one or two things about relationships, dating and finding The One.
The Indian actress has been in the news all week after she and Nick tied the knot in one of the most glamorous celebrity events of the year – you know, simply because it wasn’t just another wedding! She and her man tied the knot in two wedding ceremonies and if all pre-wedding and post-wedding events are combined, they had a total of five fabulous events!
Love, laughter, a gorgeous wedding dress with a dramatic 75-feet veil, joy, romance, family, friends and fairytale and so many unbeatable, irreplaceable memories… that wedding had it all! It’s the kind of stuff dreams are made of, the type of nuptials that makes you swoon just thinking about the endless possibilities.
So looking at Priyanka and listening to her, what are the relationship lessons to be gleaned? We’ve found some and we’re here to share them with you below!
What’s the most romantic thing a guy can do for a girl?
“Surprise a girl,” Priyanka answers breathily during a fun question and answer session with Vogue, published December 6, 2018. “Don’t do the whole chocolate and flowers thing,” she adds for context.
In general, the point is clear: just be unpredictable and creative in your attempts to please your babe; whatever it translates to in your culture and present reality.

Ideal first date?
“Fly me to an unknown destination to see the sunset,” answers the 36-year old former beauty queen who replied her DM when Nick Jonas slid in there in 2016.
There you have another relationship advice: be civil enough to reply DMs. Far too many beautiful love stories have found expression via social media. Who says yours, too, can’t begin with a ‘Hi’ in your DM?

The “Quantico” actress does not even need to say nothing about the invalidity of these, she just totally embodies it.
For starters, she dated, and married a man she is older than by the whole of 10 years – and there goes the idea that you have to marry only a man who is older.
Her engagement came two months after they began dating – contrary to the idea that you should compulsorily be in a relationship for a significant amount of time so you and your partner get to know each other.
She is Indian, Nick Jonas, American. She has just married, aged 36; out here showing us that when people live their best lives, improve themselves in all aspects and focus on what important, love will always catch up on them.
Even for women, it’s never too late to fall in love, or have a breathtaking wedding ceremony!

Risky Tips [With Kate Quigley]: Obsessed With My Ex – Mandatory
Hey Kate!
I still miss my ex-girlfriend, but she left me for her ex. Now they broke up. Should I try to get her back?
Thanks & keep killing it!
Ex Obsessed
Dear EX-O,
This answer is too short for a column, but I felt the need to shake some sense into you. Two words: Hell. No.
Don’t be a masochist, Ben! Listen, if it helps at all, everyone has been there. I still hook up from time to time with one crazy ex because the sex is so unbelievably hot that no one can seem to compare. And it’s comfortable, like chicken soup when you have the flu. The problem is, even with him, even as much as I know we could never work as a couple and promise myself I will not catch feelings, inevitably one of us will piss the other off. It leads to drama every time. I’m not saying your case is the same, as it sounds like you want an actual relationship with this girl.
There are so many reasons to not put in the effort to get this girl back, and I realize (because I’ve been the “you” in this scenario) that you probably aren’t going to take my advice, but let me make my case anyway…
Everyone Wants to Date the Drummer
Do you ever see anyone going on and on about a second-string athlete? No. Because the elite men play on the starting lineup, like the quarterback, are the ones everyone want (nobody knows the name of his backup). Similarly, you don’t deserve to be a backup boyfriend. Nobody does. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to be with someone who is crazy about me! Someone who thinks I’m an amazing addition to their life. It sounds like you feel that way about her, but you don’t care if she feels it in return?
Once, I dated a guy who I was so obsessed with, he could literally text me at 3 am and I would get up, shower, shave, and drive a half hour to sleep in bed with him. Half the time he’d be asleep when I got there, and I wouldn’t even complain because I knew that he wouldn’t be that upset if he lost me. Do you think that guy respected me or would have been proud to call me his girlfriend? No way! Because I was acting like a pathetic loser, I eventually learned from that experience that if you don’t believe you are worth more, no one else will either.
If she does miss and wants to be with you, then let her be the one to come back! I’m not saying you can’t give her a second chance. Sure, we all have moments where we have feelings for two people at once, and sometimes we choose the wrong one. But in that case, let her decide to chase you for a moment. Let her sweat a little! Let her realize and admit that she chose wrong (even if it’s just to her herself). Why should you do all the chasing when she left you? As a woman, trust me, she will respect you less somewhere on the inside if she knows she can have you any time she wants.
The Fear Factor, Hosted By You
This is simple: She hurt you. And if you get her back right away, chances are she’ll do it again.
It sounds to me like she wasn’t over the ex when she started dating you. Doesn’t mean she didn’t like you. I’m sure you’ve dated someone as a band-aid to feel better about an ex you weren’t over. Hell, you may be doing it now. You may even truly like that person. But as long as you are harboring feelings for an ex, you can’t be completely open to a relationship with this new person regardless of how great they are. And neither can she.
Truthfully, in my opinion, getting into a relationship with someone when you’re still pining for an ex is incredibly selfish. I recently tried to date a guy when I wasn’t over a wizard. (Yes, I slept with a wizard. That’s a whole other story.) I liked the new guy, truly! But when I felt that he was moving quickly toward a serious relationship, and I knew I wasn’t over my wizard, I ended it immediately. Did it hurt for him? Probably. Did I want to? Not entirely. But how much worse would it have been if I’d faked my way through a mediocre relationship with the poor guy, waiting for my former flame to be single? Awful.
Now is dating casually OK? Sure! Rebound sex? Go for it! Just be up front and honest! Keep in mind that your ex cannot possibly be over this guy if they just broke up. So if you have any chance in hell of ever being with her, I’d recommend trying to move on for now. Forget about her. And if she realizes you’re the guy, trust me, she’ll show up.
Whatever you do, as tempting as it may seem, do NOT be her stunt cock while she’s thinking about the guy she misses. If she reaches out to you while she’s still in any type of contact with her ex, you tell her that you’re not sure if you’re willing to take her back! And that if you are even to consider the option, it will be later when she’s completely finished engaging with this clown (you don’t have to say “clown,” but we’d love if you did.)
Hope Is a Real Mother F****r
Lastly, I know this much: Hope is a bitch. And rejection breeds obsession. You want her back, clearly (you wrote an unlicensed stranger to write about it for the Internet).
The golden rule of dating is this: The minute you truly don’t care and begin to move on and stop thinking about them, that’s when they always come back. So the best thing you can do for yourself (for a multitude of reasons) is work on finding new ways to have fun without her. Forget about dating her. Focus on you. Hit the gym. Pick up some new work. Enjoy being a hot, successful, single guy! I don’t know if you’re hot or successful, but since you’re smart enough to write to me, obviously you’ve got the smart part down.
Best of luck, champ! You got this!
Sincerely,
Kate Q

Joe Alwyn Says a Few More Words About Taylor Swift and His Relationship in New Interview – ELLE.com

Joe Alwyn has made it clear he really, really does not want to talk about Taylor Swift in interviews. Every time he is asked about her, he makes the point that one’s private life is, well, private. But Esquire tried and successfully got him to talk a little bit about whether or not he’s ever sought advice on dating Taylor Swift.
The answer is no. “I didn’t seek out advice on that because I know what I feel about it,” he said. Then he went back to his usual point to interviewers: He really doesn’t want to talk about his girlfriend, ever. “I think there’s a very clear line as to what somebody should share, or feel like they have to share, and what they don’t want to and shouldn’t have to.” Okay, fair enough, Joe.
Alwyn has said four things so far now about Swift while doing press for The Favourite.
To British GQ, he explained that he doesn’t have to talk about her, so he’s not going to talk about her. “Someone’s private life is by definition private,” he told the outlet. “No one is obliged to share their personal life.” When the outlet’s reporter asked him, for GQ‘s final question, what his favorite Swift song was, Alwyn laughed. “I’m just not even going to go into that side of the world.”
To British Vogue, he said he understood people’s interest, but he still isn’t going to talk about it. And he thinks people get that they’re a very private couple, anyway. “I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” Alwyn said, acknowledging the public’s curiosity. “I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people…but I really prefer to talk about work.”
And during a red carpet interview when a reporter asked him what he thought of Swift’s U.S. midterm election endorsements, Alwyn answered the question briefly but politely and then promptly left the interview.
