Eruption
“Is that a skull?” I ask pointing toward the sky. Turning around to look in the direction of my finger, Marcus exclaims, “What the hell?” Clutching my heart-locket with my right hand, I reach down and grasp his arm. “I’ve seen this before,” I tell him. Still catching his breath, he asks, “What does it mean?” Shaking my head, I try to remember where I’ve seen it. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he clicks on the internet, “Is it the devil?” Laughing, while hitting him on the chest, “Really? The devil?” Scrolling through the internet, he yells, “This is creepy!”

Sailor Moon
It’s a match! Shit, now what? Putting my phone down, I take a deep breath and change the channel. Ding! Smiling as I pick up my phone to read the notification, “Hey sexy.” Seriously? That’s what dating has come to? Rolling my eyes before replying, “Hey, how’s it going?” Responding within seconds, “It’s going good beautiful. How’s it going with you?” I quickly unmatch him. I’ve chatted with enough men to know once they start using the physically descriptive words, they are just wanting to hook-up.

Velvety Rabbit
Inhale, exhale. Damn it, butterflies and sweating are not great for a first date! Dating has been a lot harder than I remember. Maybe I have higher standards since the divorce or maybe I just stopped putting up with bullshit. Eh, who knows. Pulling into Johnny’s driveway, I send him a quick text, “I’m here.” Grabbing my clutch and wine bottle, I slide out of the car. Shutting the door, I walk up to his house and feel my cheeks start to redden. Inhale, exhale. Here goes my seventh, 1st date.

Do you know a Killer?
Jeffrey Dahmer. Ted Bundy. John Wayne Gacy. Jack the Ripper. They are all serial killers, but they are not psychotic. Far too often, people misinterpret a sociopath or psychopath and someone who has a psychotic disorder (Schizophrenia). Although the mental health stigma has decreased in certain aspects, there are still some components that are difficult for those outside of the field to understand. This may not be a typical “fun fact,” but profiling and understanding the psyche is always fascinating.

Sexting
As most people are aware, and I say most because some are not fantastic at it, communication is key to any relationship. If you find someone that you are able to communicate with, then the beginning stages of “chatting” are usually great. Ideally, the conversation would flow naturally and you wouldn’t have to ask all the typical interview type questions. Once two people feel comfortable in those initial conversations, they might start to branch out to the topic of sex. Now, depending on the couple, it could take a few hours, days, or weeks to get to this point, but when it does, that’s important. If you get to this stage, the comfortability has increased to discuss likes and dislikes in the bedroom. Be aware, this topic can be sensitive or uneasy for some.

Lucky Orleans
“Kristy! What the hell are you doing?” I yell as she rummages through my dresser and throws my clothes into a suitcase. She looks up and smirks, “We’re finally leaving this place!” I laugh hysterically, “You realize I have a job and responsibilities right?” I watch as Kristy closes the suitcase and grabs a duffle bag. Moving to a different drawer, she looks up, “So? This is everything we’ve dreamed about. We can finally move to Italy!” I’m so confused right now! How can we just pack up and leave? As if reading my mind, she throws a little black book on the bed.
