Dating is complicated. So we simplified it for you. What to do and what not to do - the Dating edition.
Love and War Are the Same Things in Our Digital Age
It was the first time I realized playing hard to get existed outside of Katherine Heigl romcoms and the pages of Gossip Girl. Summer vacation had dawned in the tenth grade and I elected to spend mine on a student exchange in small-town Australia. My host was Mackenzie, one year my junior but leaps and bounds more experienced in everything that made up our late night conversations. Coming from a tiny, private, all-female school, I found this girl astounding; she seemed so effortless, but all at once had command of her closely-knit group of friends and boys as far as two towns over. To me, still a never-been-kissed kind of innocent, she was the messiah of all things love, sex, and bearing two X chromosomes.
Having Trouble Getting Over Being GHOSTED?
So by now I'm assuming you've watched my video on why ghosting is a good thing. But what's NOT so good about ghosting is being the victim of getting ghosted. It just feels so CRAPPY!

Heart Centered UniversePublished 6 years ago in HumansThe Truth About Long Distance Relationships
In this day and age, it's hard and almost a bit ridiculous to believe that everyone's "soulmate" would live just a few miles away. The world is a huge place, flooded with so many kinds of people who you have yet to meet but one way to do that is through the internet! With various forms of social media, including dating apps, you can come across people who may live across the state, country, or even world! You may just meet someone and fall in love. Although, when it comes to the distance, what is there to do? Now, as someone who has been in a long distance relationship, it is hard and there is nothing that will change that fact. However, there are things you can to do that ease the heartache of being away from the person you love most and make it work!
Ashley MendozaPublished 6 years ago in HumansThe Culture of Ghosting
Ghosting is a phenomenon that has spread throughout a generation of daters and it is starting to break my heart. Now, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I've never ghosted anyone and that everyone else is the problem. That is just a lie and wouldn't achieve anything, except make me seem like I'm looking down on those who ghost. And I'm not. I can see times and places for ghosting people. Prior to meeting, maybe he or she has made you feel uncomfortable and you don't really know how to word that you are no longer interested. Or maybe they're being dick. Or maybe you've met them and realized you aren't into it and you told them and they don't seem to be picking up what you are putting down. I get the ease of ghosting...
What to Do When You Realize You and Your Partner Have Chemistry
Chemistry is defined as a strong attraction between two people. But when asked to explain the how and why of sexual attraction, many are left scratching their heads. One thing I know for sure is that sexual chemistry is based on more than looks alone. That’s just one tiny part of the equation. There’s also the way the other person smells. The two of you could have a spiritual connection, possibly from living past lives together. Also, attraction is very strong when two people have karmic patterns that need to be worked out (or these patterns will keep repeating). I truly believe that two people are drawn together in order to fulfill a special purpose, learn lessons about themselves or about life, or to figure out what it is they desire in a mate.

Imagine living in the home of your dreams. It’s 9 AM, you’ve just opened your eyes, and you roll over in bed to grab your phone from the bedside table. Only a few new emails and social media updates. You put the phone back. And you turn back over.

Samantha BentleyPublished 6 years ago in HumansThe Games We Play Aren't Healthy and Here's Why
It seems that everyone is playing games these days. I’m constantly hearing from both men and women that they are tired of playing games. But what if it isn’t really a game for someone in particular—just the way they act? It could be that they're not interested in you or in a relationship. Sometimes people play games to put up walls for fear of being hurt. With this in mind, here are a few strategies for those of us that are truly serious about finding love and being in a mature relationship…
Heart Centered UniversePublished 6 years ago in HumansIs Power Play in a Relationship Worth It?
Power is defined as the ability or right to control people or things. We’ve all heard the saying "he wears the pants" to refer to a man who basically holds all the "power" in a relationship. But I always say…the best relationships are the ones where no one is wearing pants. But all kidding aside, to maintain a healthy relationship there must be a delicate balance of power. Each party involved should feel the freedom to truly be themselves and that their opinions and concerns matter. Everyone has something that they are good at, and the best partnerships work together as a team, acknowledging each other's strengths and weaknesses. So you want to have a balanced relationship? I’ve got a few ideas on how you might get there…

There are many acronyms used in various contexts and they all have different meanings. NSA is an acronym used to abbreviate “no strings attached" in the dating world. It describes the type of relationship that many would call a casual relationship. This sort of relationship can also be referred to as friends with benefits. Or it is just casual hookup all to elucidate on what goes on in it.
When Is the Right Time to Bring Your New Relationship Into the Bedroom?
I’m sure everyone has read at least one book about relationships from the so-called "experts." Each author has a different opinion about intimacy, but an overwhelming majority of them advise waiting for two to three months before "hooking up." Personally, I’ve never dated a man that is willing to wait that long (and even I couldn’t/wouldn’t hold out for months on end). The truth is that everyone is different and there are no rules. I know couples that hooked up on the first night they met and are happily married with kids. Still others waste time dating for months only to find out there’s no sizzle in the bedroom. When to get intimate is a personal call only you can make. But I do have a few guidelines regarding this subject.
