Whereas the traditional golden rule is treat others as you would want them to treat you, Kaneisha’s Golden Dating Rule is treat yourself like you want your partner to treat you. It’s easy to fall into the trap of pining after a boyfriend who doesn’t exist—or looking into the past and glorifying a guy that you ended it with just because there’s no man in your life now. A great way to unleash some of your love energy that may build up in the wake of singlehood is to befriend and romance yourself.
Things I wish a man would do for me and then I decided to do myself:
Flowers: My grandma, mom, and I are crazy about plants and flowers. We love to be surrounded by the energy and beauty of flora, and we take pride in cultivating plants. I used to nag guys I was dating to buy me flowers, and then I realized that I could pick up a stunning bouquet from Trader Joe’s for $9.99 and have fresh flowers whenever I wanted them. Surprisingly, I find some guys are much more willing to buy me “replenishment” flowers after he sees that I already buy them for myself. Rather than feeling like he’s a “whipped” sappy romantic, your partner feels like he’s doing something useful and manly—like taking out a 50-lb. bag of garbage—except now he’s bringing in two dozen roses.
Great Dates: I really wanted a man to whisk me around Boston, showing me all the touristy sights and hole-in-the-walls. Then, I just decided to explore the city myself with my girl friends. I go to a different fabulous brunch place almost every weekend with my girl friends when I’m in Boston. It’s emerging as a tradition, and one that I will surely treasure as my last year of graduate school looms. If I had waited until a guy came along, I would have missed out on all the delicious eateries and juicy gossip that always come with our Sunday morning brunches.
Sexual Fulfillment: Thanks to technology, heterosexual women can experience sexual fulfillment without men (while our lesbian sisters have been fine without men for ages). One does not have to be a “freak in the bed” to have a vibrator. Nor do you even have to go into one of the sex novelty shops. I was reluctant to buy a vibrator, so one of my girl friends bought one for me, put the batteries in it, and put it right on my bed in my dorm room as a birthday surprise. That tactic was surprisingly effective at getting me to use it, and I passed on the gift (not the vibrator) by buying one for a friend and doing the same thing. It’s also important to remember that vibrators are not just for single women. They are great for couples or even if you are in a relationship and just want some “me” time.
The list could go on forever. Other ways to be your own boyfriend would be buying yourself a GPS, painting your apartment, taking fun trips, and learning how to drive a manual transmission. I do not mean to imply that most women depend on men for these things all the time. However, there are certain things we women know that we need or want that we don’t have to wait another second to get. If you are a woman waiting around (either consciously or subconsciously) for a man to swoop in and fulfill your wishes, you are wasting golden opportunities to be the answer to your own problems.

Re: Long-Term Visit Pass and Permanent Residence applied within a single application
I've been in the same situation. For my hubs case, LTVP was renewed for 3 months automatically while still pending his concurrent PR and LTVP renewal application. We received the email for his LTVP extension a day or on the day of his last LTVP expiry. Hope this helps.

Re: Advice on Applying for PR and LTVP for My Wife While Residing Overseas
I guess being a SC you can sponsor ur wife but the immediate challenge i can think of is which address would you use, US or local one. More importantly after ur wife gets her pr and rep she soon has to decide whether she wants to be a citizen

Re: Advice on Applying for PR and LTVP for My Wife While Residing Overseas
If you read this forum, there have been cases of people applying LTVP when overseas. Then they relocate back to SG while LTVP is processing before LTVP is approved. You need to show ICA that you are physically in SG with a job in SG. Gotta show you wanna settle here for the long term, no?
I highly doubt PR will be given to someone who isn’t physically in SG unless their occupation is super duper rare that SG needs such people.
Don’t be tempted by the 2-in-1 LTVP-PR application or else the processing time will be based on the longest process aka the PR.
One of the topics here has someone who applied for the 2-in-1 and is still waiting for an outcome...

Hello,
I was googling this topic and am blown away by the helpful tips you provided here! I'm also closing down my Pte Ltd, which used to be a one-man show, and as such am trying to do it cost efficiently and "hands on".
I used to do bookkeeping as well as annual filings myself, but for the final year I do have some specific questions. Is there a way to connect with you via private message? (I'm also open to connect to an affordable professional in that field, if you have someone to recommend or feel more comfortable with that.)
Cheers,
Andreo
