With feeling, with sense, with arrangement
Quote from the comedy by A. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit" (1824), no. 2, yavl. 1.

Blue stocking
The expression denoting the contemptuous name of women, completely absorbed in bookish, scientific interests, originated in England in the 80s of the 18th century. and did not have the disdainful meaning that it received later. Originally it meant a circle of persons of both sexes gathered at Lady Montague's for conversations on literary and scientific topics. The soul of the conversations was the scientist Benjamin Stellingfleet (1702-1771), who, disregarding fashion, wore blue stockings with dark clothes. When for some reason he did not appear in the circle, they repeated: "We cannot live without blue stockings, today the conversation is going badly - there are no blue stockings!" Thus, this nickname was first received by a man, not a woman. The expression was especially widespread when Byron used it in his satire on Lady Montagu's circling "The Blues".

Blue bird
Play by Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949), staged at the Moscow Art Theater on September 30, 1908. The plot of this play is the adventures of the children of a poor woodcutter in search of the Blue Bird. According to Dub in the play, the Bluebird is "the secret of things and happiness." "If a person finds the Blue Bird, he will know everything, see everything" (words of the Cat).

Mixing the languages ​​of French with Nizhny Novgorod
Quote from the comedy "Woe from Wit" by A. Griboyedov.

Combine business with pleasure
Expression from "The Art of Poetry" by Horace, who says about the poet: "Anyone who combines business with pleasure is worthy of all approval."

Happy hours are not observed
Quote from the comedy A. S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit", d.1, yavl. 4, words of Sophia.

Wash your hands
Used in the sense: to be removed from responsibility for something. It arose from the Gospel: Pilate washed his hands in front of the crowd, giving her Jesus for execution, and said: "I am not guilty of the blood of this righteous man" (Matt., 27, 24). The Bible tells about the ritual washing of hands, which serves as evidence of the person's innocence to anything (Deuteronomy, 21, 6-7).

Vulnerability
It arose from the myth of the only vulnerable spot on the hero's body: the heel of Achilles, a spot on Siegfried's back, etc. Used in the sense: the weak side of a person, business.

Fortune. Wheel of Fortune
Fortune - in Roman mythology, the goddess of blind chance, happiness and misfortune. She was depicted with a blindfold, standing on a ball or wheel (emphasizing its constant variability), and holding a steering wheel in one hand, and a cornucopia in the other. The steering wheel indicated that fortune controls the fate of a person.

The one who laughs last laughs well
The expression belongs to the French writer Jean-Pierre Florian (1755-1794), who used it in the fable "Two Peasants and a Cloud".

End justifies the means
The idea of ​​this expression, which is the basis of the morality of the Jesuits, was borrowed by them from the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679).

Man to man wolf
Expression from the "Donkey Comedy" by the ancient Roman writer Plautus (c. 254-184 BC).

Q.E.D
This formula ends every mathematical argument of the great Greek mathematician Euclid (3rd century BC).

What we have, we do not store, having lost, we cry
The name of the vaudeville (1844) by S. Solovyov

The language of native aspens
Expression from the epigram (1884) by I. S. Turgenev to N. H. Ketcher (1809-1886), Shakespeare's translator; his translations are distinguished by an exceptional closeness to the original, which often harms poetry:
Here is another luminary of the world!
Catcher, friend of sparkling wines;
He rewrote Shakespeare for us
Into the language of native aspens.
This expression is used ironically about crude translations from foreign languages into Russian.

While you have not yet gone headlong into your fantasies and started thinking about which phrase to surprise your loved ones with, we want to draw your attention to the main part of today's article.

In the video below, a writer, dancer and simply master of seduction, Chen Lizra, shares her experience with us. She will tell us about the main components of the art of seduction and charm.

The following simple but sweet suggestions may be appropriate later in the relationship. Any conversation will become much more pleasant if one (or several) of the following phrases are used in it.

"What can I do right now to bring a smile to your face?"
"What can I do now to bring a smile back to your face?"

When a woman is feeling upset, overwhelmed, or simply tired, she deeply appreciates that her man not only notices, but offers everything she needs to fix the situation. Most women want to please their man, thinking in advance about
which will make him happy, but rarely feel reciprocated in return. They believe that there is a double standard here, and they fear that they may lose their man if they cannot maintain control over the situation.

You can kill three (!) Birds with one stone at once, putting aside your current desires and becoming fully available to express your love when a woman needs it so much. By verbally admitting how much she deserves to be concerned, a man shows that he understands and loves her when it really matters. The ability to be valuable to someone without selfish goals is a gift for years to come.

"I know my long stories can drive you crazy, so I’ll start with the bottom line and you can ask for more details if you need them".
"I know my long stories can drive you crazy, so I'll start with the basics and you can refine the details if necessary."

Sometimes women can get confused and sound rather oblique when they want something or are "exchanging their experiences". Then it makes sense to work on developing a more direct approach that does not keep you waiting, and try to give an answer that directly, without unnecessary "decor", answers the man's question.

Women understand that it is much easier and more pleasant for men to listen to some topics. For example, dissatisfaction with a man's behavior in a relationship should be expressed in the most succinct way: complaint, context, feeling and desired outcome. Interesting stories, in turn, those directly related to the life of men deserve, of course, a longer period of time for discussion.

"Even if we lost everything, I’d still have you, and that’s what matters the most."
"Even if we lose everything, I will still have you, and that is the most important thing."

Many men believe that if they do not provide, do not protect or do not curry favor with their women, then by principle they cannot be considered representatives of the strong half of humanity in full. If they get sick, lose their jobs, or are not around at critical times, they may feel careless about their commitments. Men who know they are deeply loved and valued do not get stuck on what they should do or who they should be. They are grateful to their women for the fact that they do not need to adjust and always show themselves, no matter what position they are in and how they feel.

"I love you even when you're upset."
"I love you even when you're upset."

Many men often pull back when their ladies are in turmoil. They don't want any part of an angry or complaining woman to ruin their mood. As a result, many women give up their bad moods for fear of losing their love in
which they so need in difficult times. A man’s assurances that a woman’s suffering will not alienate him or make him colder in a relationship lead her to believe that she is loved, regardless of her condition.

This behavior, however, is not always appropriate, for example, when a woman views the above assurances from a man as an attempt to minimize or get rid of the problem. Otherwise, it is a wonderful experience when, instead of criticism, she gets support.

"Take all the time you need to get your thoughts and feelings out. I’m not goinganywhere."
“You have as much time as it takes to express your thoughts and feelings. I'm not going anywhere. "

Women tend to express their feelings out loud. And when it is not possible to do this, they begin to scroll through a bunch of thoughts in their heads. These thoughts sometimes lead them to deplorable conclusions. Impatient men, in turn, can often interrupt a fragile female monologue at an early stage and demand a summary or simply lose interest in the topic. Women feel welcome with those who will remain with them, at the same time listening to them, no matter how long it takes. This can be a precious gift for them.

"I feel the safest when you're near me."
"I feel safe when you are near me."

Men tend to want their women to feel safe, valued, and not overly interested. If women are too dependent on them and need constant reassurance, then men may feel burdened or irritable. But when a woman does not need much attention or care, then a man can freely open up and feel a connection. Most men want to protect their women when they can and feel proud about that.

Phrases to start a conversation

Finally, we present to your attention a few phrases with which it is good to start phrases while in a relationship.

"I understand how important this is to you."
I understand how important this is to you.

Women judge relationships by how well they think you understand them. And one way of expressing understanding is not to take action every time the slightest worry is shown. A lot of men do this. Look, here "s how we can fix it! Instead, just listen and say that you understand the cause of the concern (even if you disagree.) Listening and understanding is a powerful indicator of how much you respect the person.

"Let me tell you how my presentation went."
Let me tell you how my presentation went.

When you are asked how your day went, no one wants to hear the answer: “It's okay. Is yours?". Details are needed here, not key information. To increase efficiency, sort it out in terms of your emotional responses: "I was so nervous when they didn't take my offer, but then I felt relieved when they realized I was right after all."

"Let "s talk about the work tomorrow. Tonight should just be about us."
Let's talk about work tomorrow. Tonight should only be about us.

Focus on each other as much as possible, and it doesn't matter if it leads to something concrete or not. Avoid dragging sore topics of conversation with you, especially if you are already sitting on the couch together. After all, these are one of the most important points in relationship.

"I "ll draw you a bath."
I'll give you a bath.

A great way to unwind after a hard day. And it's so nice when a loved one offers his help in such undertakings.

"You deserve a perfect weekend with your friends. I "ll take care of everything."
You deserve a great weekend with your friends. I'll take care of everything.

"I adore your moles."
I love your moles.

To feel beautiful, you need to feel the beauty within yourself. It is important. It is important to hear the words of loved ones who notice small details, be it your appearance or character traits, those that may have seemed ugly to you, and embarrassed you.

"The weather "s just terrible! Let me pick up the groceries."
The weather is just awful! Let me stop by for some groceries.

It is not always necessary to do everything according to the established schedule. It's so easy to do something nice - just offer spontaneous help.

Conclusion

You are now one step closer to the perfect relationship. Use the right phrases and words with meaning and be gentle and gentle with your loved ones.
