Signs The Guy You’re Talking To Is A F*ckboy
He doesn’t let you touch his phone – red flag. His phone is always facing down – red flag. If says, “come over, let's watch Netflix” – red flag. If he texts you anytime after 10 PM – red flag. If he ghosts on you mid conversation and picks up hours later where the conversation ended without an explanation – red flag. He goes for sex right away – red flag. I’m so sorry, ladies, but it’s not what you think it is with this guy. And I know it hurts because you want to believe all the sweet nothings he tells you, but take it from someone who has chosen all the wrong fish in the sea. What I’m about to tell you are the ultimate signs of a f*ckboy.

Dating, for a guy, is a pretty lonely ordeal. Most men don't really talk about relationships the way women do. Nor do they often have the support that women do, either. So, it's not surprising that a lot of men end up getting lonely and unable to find quality advice.

Kimberly CrawfordPublished 7 years ago in HumansThe Story of Us: Falling in Love with My Best Friend
Five years ago, way back in grade nine when I was still trying to find my place in a new school full of new transitions, I met my best friend. For the purpose of this story I'll call her Payton. Payton was in my gym class on my team for softball and, being my usual introverted self, I was standing by myself in line not talking to anyone. That is, until I turned around and noticed the anti-possession charm from the TV show Supernatural drawn on the arm of the girl standing behind me. In a moment of pure instinct I turned to her, pointing at the doodle, and tried to ask her if that was, in fact, the anti possession charm from the hit TV series. Of course once I got the first few words out of my mouth my brain caught up with my actions and I stood there, sputtering and pointing for a solid two minutes (thorougly making things awkward) before I finally managed to spit the name out. The look of relief that crossed her sun-kissed freckled face was almost as amazing as the blindingly beautiful smile that made her whole face light up. And from that moment I knew I was hooked. She laughed and told me she was so nervous as I sputtered on that I would accuse her of devil worship (a reality that was all too common in our small town) but then when I finally found the words she was so thankful that I was in fact just filling my free time watching gorgeous boys on Netflix.

When Your Partner Left Someone To Be With You...
You've found your soulmate! They are everything you expected them to be, and even more! You two couldn't be happier together and your friends and family are supporting you both — Congratulations! Seriously, finding your other half is a big deal, a wonderful event, and there is no reason why you two shouldn't be happy and thrive together. But let's be honest, some of the best romance stories friends like to hear are ones that are filled with juicy drama, and some of those best stories are about how you and your partner met but were both in different romantic relationships with other people at the time. If you live in a large city, let's say Houston, TX or San Diego, CA, the change of running into your partner's ex-boyfriend or girlfriend are extremely slim. However, if you live in Dartmouth, MA or in Las Cruces, NM, the possibility of seeing their ex increased. Whether you run into each other at the local market, between classes on campus, or see each other at the only cafe that has decent coffee in the entire town...
