Are you a Summer, Winter, Autumn or a Spring? What season are you?

There are many different skin complexions, hair colors and eye colors and each one of them has seasonal characteristics. Knowing what season you are, or what combination of seasons you have can help you find the clothes and makeup hues that suit you best.

Every fashion designer creates seasonal collections with the appropriate seasonal colors. When you know what season your features are, you can find the clothing colors that work best for you by browsing through the various collections for your season. Many cosmetic makers also have seasonal hues for eyeshadow, blush and lipstick as well.

In addition to seeing what colors will work best for you, you can also create a season for yourself. Hair is the easiest to color, but eyeshadow, blush and color contact lenses can transform your whole look as well.

Switch It Up 

Summers need color more than any other season because of the pale colors in their features. Summers and Winters are cool skin tones while Springs and Autumn are warm skin tones.

Try wearing the right colors for your season for a while and then switch completely over to a new hair, makeup, and clothes ensemble. People will notice something very different about you and they won’t know quite what it is. A little mystery is always good.

There are also personality traits that go along with each season, but that’s for a future post.

You’ve probably heard of the book He’s just not that into you by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. The worst is when you break up with a guy who is not that into you and then you see him happily hooked up with someone he is that into.

Then you start wondering what it is she has that you don’t have. And then you go out and buy a lot of ice cream. Occasionally though, girls run into a guy who’s just not that into anybody. The first thing you might think is, this guy is a player. A lot of times you would be right, but every once in a while, what you have on your hands is a serial dater.

Serial Dater?

The difference between a player and a serial dater is one of intent. Players plan to stick around for a good time, not a long time. Serial daters don’t plan on making a speedy exit. They just do. Unlike players, serial daters only date one girl at a time and there is a good stretch of time in between each relationship. And every relationship they jump into usually follows the same pattern …

1. Meet
2. Date for a while
4. Breakup
5. Guilt

Serial daters hit a wall that stops the relationship in it’s tracks. Sometimes they feel insecure about themselves or where they are in their lives. Sometimes they’re perfectionists and have a checklist of impossible characteristics they’re looking for in a lifelong mate. Either way, they are usually the ones who end a relationship, although sometimes they might force you to end it by making themselves increasingly distant and inaccessible.

How To Spot A Serial Dater

In many ways he seems a lot like a player but there are some key differences. Players never have much time for you, don’t have much respect for you, and they have one goal that involves boots and knocking. Serial Daters are great boyfriends - if only for a little while. They like doing new and interesting things. They like spending time actually talking to you.

To spot a serial dater you’re going to have to get him to tell you about his past girlfriends or talk to his friends and see if he has a history filled with lots of short sporadic relationships.

What Do You Do With A Guy Who Is Just Not That Into Anybody?

The easy answer is, move on. The hard answer is, be impossibly perfect and convince him that he is too. There really isn’t too much you can do because guys who are not that into you or anybody else tend to be really good at sabotaging their relationships to get out of them.
