Kate, Blue Jeans, and a Single Shot

You've been warned to run when you see red flags in a potential relationship, but we rarely discuss the green flags. Green flags help you decide whether a potential partner is a good match and will treat you right.

Human beings are complicated. Unlike most animals, we can camouflage our dark sides through deception, manipulation, and gaslighting.

But there are signs that can bring a sense of relief by letting us know we can breathe easily around someone we don't know very well.

The Good Ones Respect Boundaries

Say your love interest wants you to attend a family gathering, and you think it's too soon.

First, if you feel comfortable saying, "I'm not sure I'm ready to meet your family," your heart has already spoken loudly and clearly, saying, "This one is okay."

When that person respects your boundaries, they will be fine with your decision, which might sound like, "Sure, maybe some other time."

That response raises two green flags: one, they heard and supported your decision, and two, they already see you as someone they want in their future. If you're game, there's your keeper.

They Remember Little Details About You

Who doesn't want to be happily surprised by someone they care about? When someone cares about you, they're listening and will let it be known in small and big ways to bring you happiness and a sense of being valued.

You might've mentioned that you like hiking, and they spontaneously say, "Let's go hiking this weekend." Or they may bring you to a sunflower farm because you said you liked sunflowers.

Even better, listen to them and return the favor. Listening and using those little details will strengthen your relationship.

You Feel Energized When You See Them

Endorphins (feel-good hormones) are high when you're happy.

Naturally, when you start a relationship, hormones will peak. So, it's difficult to distinguish between a new rush crush on a red flag or the cozy warmth of a green flag.

One way to figure it out is to process how you think about them when you're alone. Green flag feelings don't involve anxiety about what they're doing without you or worry that they won't call.

Early on, your thoughts and feelings should match the high you feel when you're with the right person or without them.

The book, Kate, Blue Jeans, and a Single Shot is almost a manual for red and green flag spotting. If you read it, post your findings here. But please read the trigger warnings first.

That's it for today, but there's more to come. So, stay tuned for the next post, where I discuss the nitty-gritty of green flags as the relationship progresses.

And don't forget the Goodreads Giveaway for Kate, Blue Jeans, and a Single Shot, where all the green flags fly high, is still on. Join my page for details and other blog posts.

Jay watched Kate climb the stairs with an armful of warm folded towels from the dryer.

It was the perfect opportunity.

He kicked off his shoes and followed her unnoticed as she opened the linen closet door and placed the towels inside.

When she closed it, he was there, with an intentionally mischievous smirk.

She wasn't surprised, evidenced by a slight coy smile. He'd been stalking her all morning, and she loved it.

He pressed her against the wall and kissed her, then walked away.

Not yet, babe. He would get back to her later.

My character, Jay, didn't have great examples of marital bliss growing up, but he did work as an assistant to a professional mistress for years. She taught him the art of seduction using patience, timing, and the element of surprise. He put his skills into practice to keep his marriage fresh and healthy.

We all get into ruts at some point in our marriage, especially when we're busy with kids and careers, and our sex lives suffer for it.

When we were in the dating pool, we put effort into seduction. It was that effort and anticipation that made sex amazing in the beginning. But somewhere along the line, a simple touch became foreplay, and a minute alone turned into "It's now or never."

If you're stuck, it's time to extend your foreplay with seduction.

Did you know Llamas do it? Not really, but close. Llama reproduction involves induced ovulation. The male sings and chirps to his potential mate to bring on ovulation. The female usually spits at him initially because she doesn't know him, but he'll get the prize if he's persistent.

Date nights are a great concept, but the rush to get the kids settled and the planning distracts from the goal of intimacy. You're both over it by the time you get to where you're going and spitting may be involved in the form of snipping.

Start early in the day. A knowing smile over a coffee cup during breakfast, a reach over their head to get a plate, and a long embrace, instead of a quick kiss on the way out the door will go a long way.

It's also a two-way street. If your partner needs to learn, lead by example.

If you want to be pushed up against the hall wall, do it to them to show how exciting it can be.

And guys, roll up those sleeves, move them aside, and take over emptying the dishwasher with a generous smile. You'll be surprised at the results.

The point is that intimacy is better with anticipation. The longer you take to set up anticipation, the faster you'll get there.

By there, I mean the big O. You're welcome.

Kate, Blue Jeans, and a Single Shot

True power is being the last one in the room who hasn't lost control.

On the run from her abusive husband, Kate is learning how to rule the room and navigate her freedom from an unlikely source, a hustler and errand boy for a professional mistress.

Candice and Randal are the kind of morally gray duo you probably shouldn’t root for—but let’s be honest, you will.

Whether they’re handling “inconveniences” or making sure the right people disappear, their brand of loyalty is as twisted as it is unbreakable.

Think you could survive a relationship like that?

Enter The Ledge Pond Giveaway for a chance to 1 of 100 ebooks, and find out just how deep their bond—and their secrets—go.

Enter Here… before Candice decides you know too much.
