dating

All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

What has Social Media done to Dating?
Are we truly satisfied with the attention of one person? Very hard question to answer with the advancements of social media putting the access of millions in the palm of our hand. Unfortunately, the dating options has extended well beyond the limits of your local town, state or country for that matter. It all depends on how wide you want to explore and social media has bridged that gap for you and I. Is that a blessing or a curse? Well, that all depends on how you want to explore your options and what you are willing to put up with. I truly think that social media has inserted a type of laziness and "don't care" attitude in us all when it comes to dating.

7 Reasons Why It's Worth Waiting for the Right Person in a Relationship
Yes, you can try to fall in love with someone who has now become a part of your life, but it will not be true love. It will be a general relationship, perhaps even a respectful one, but not a love relationship.

Situationships
It is harder to identify genuine relationship seekers from the thrill-seekers in today's dating world. It has become a game to some rather than a serious search for a trustworthy, loving companion. I have more clients who ask me for dating advice than any other topic. I find it a bit ironic because I, myself, am single.

Should I Be Friends With My Ex If I Want Him Back (Can I Be Friends With My Ex If I Still Love Him)
One of the things that confront women who had just encountered break ups in their relationships is whether they can be friends with their ex boyfriend or ex spouse. The answer to that varies, depending on how the relationship was, before the break up. If the relationship was abusive (either verbally or physically), then it is not a good idea to strike up a friendship with the ex. It's been proven that victims of abuse usually have low self esteem, and become clingy with their abuser through time. Wanting to be a friend of your ex who had abused you in one way or another is not only risky but it can also be a roadblock to your recovery, and will delay your journey towards recovering self esteem.

Be the best version of yourself
This is Part 2 of an article that I wrote in 2020 about Jake and my relationship. Let's recap: Jake was an online man I met in May 2019. Despite the fact that our relationship was sporadic at best and only resulted four dates, I fell in love with him. Although I tried my best to maintain a relationship with him in the beginning, he suddenly texted me in February 2020 that he didn't feel like it was a good idea at the time. His decision was not my fault. He had a busy life and dating wasn't a priority.

Dating on a Budget
Dating on a Budget When there is a special occasion, going out is the first thing that comes to your mind. It doesn't have to be. Making a romantic dinner at home, like chicken parm, or steak and wine (age requirement), saves money and shows the love you have for that person. Just by putting extra work and thought into it. Dessert can include cheesecake. You can conclude the night with a board game, or a movie with some popcorn. This works for date night, too. You can make dinner together.

The Tale Of You & Me Part 3: Together Again
Dear Greta, Once again, it is time for me to continue telling our story. When we last left off, it was reaching the end of our first time apart. Throughout the years, I have joked every now and again about being the king of self-destructive behavior. While I may have always said it in a joking manner, I wholeheartedly believe that I have the bad habit of sabotaging anything good going for me in my life. It's undoubtedly one of my worse habits and something that I have recently been trying to address. Unfortunately, my self-destructive tendencies applied to our relationship as well. There's no way for me to sugar coat it Greta, I fucked up. I broke your heart and I was absolutely sure that we wouldn't ever be together again after I did. Although, life can have the habit of surprising us, this time the surprise came in the form of a message that I received from you.
