6 Green Flags You Should Look Out for When Dating Someone New
I see a lot of dating pieces talking about red flags. They are important, I agree - you should pay attention to the “oh-ho” signals your date gives, even (or especially) the subtle ones. However, don’t disregard the green flags; the signals that show you might have found one of “the good ones”.

A surge in social-anxiety post lockdown...
After over a year of online dating, video calls, endless messaging, or, in some cases, a total dating hiatus, it stands to reason that many will be keen to meet new people in person again. However, after so long without dating, a lot of people feel pretty out of practice. During the pandemic, we’ve seen a stark increase in social anxiety coupled with rusty social skills. Between re-learning how to date and lingering nervousness about COVID-19, social anxiety is affecting many would-be daters.

Who Can Tell if Your Date Went Well
I just started dating again for the first time in the 21st century. It was great. I nailed it. Could not have been more charming if I was spritzed with charm dust. It is safe to say that I haven't lost my touch over the years. That's what I felt. I just don't know how she felt about the whole dating experience with me. Her assessment of the evening might not align with my glowing review of my dating skills, but how would I know? There are articles online about signs that your date went well, but we need is an article about knowing if your date was less awesome than it could have been. Like dinner last night, I have that covered. See what I mean about the charm?

Soulmates
I've played with the words soul, and mate before. I've let the two words put together roll off my tongue much too easily, and it sure was easy to say. It felt good to hear, it felt safe to believe. I felt safe enough to believe that I would be safe one day, once I found the mate my soul so desperately needed. I was excited to find the one I was supposed to be bound to inevitably, with the connection I craved, the missing piece in my life.

Dating In The 21st Century: From A Man's Perspective
Dating in the 21st century has become much more complex than it was when I first started dating. Looking back, I now have four decades of dating experience to pull from, and yet, I still haven't figured out what happened to the process of building relationships with the opposite sex. I remember the simpler times. I remember them with a fond admiration and concern for those that are living and growing up in this new world of ours. How much, I wonder, are they missing out on in the world of instant gratification, "casual encounters", "NSAF", and "FWB".

Secret Admirer
It was finally lunch time. I went to the lunch room’s refrigerator and got out a my lunch and walked out of the building, to the beautiful park across the street. There was a slight a slight chill in the air. I strolled slowly on the sidewalk enjoying the lovely trees that were covered with bright orange and red leaves.

I was expecting Ryan to return to the US before our 30's, get married, have kids, go to Paris for our honeymoon and french kissed at the Eiffel Tower, all the romantic stuff you know, but he decided to live abroad; yes, ABROAD. Why not here in Phoenix, Arizona, no... no.. the man wanted to discover himself, the reason why he spent all his money and went to Europe and lived everywhere, including places that I can not even spell at this time.

Blind Date Cake
“Anything else? More grape juice Baby Doll?” the tall and overtly muscled waitress asked in a voice so graveled a propane truck could have been rolling down a country road for all you knew by the sound of it. Kevin looked up from his phone to say he was fine then choked a little when he saw her smiling back at him with fire engine red lipstick, widely set teeth framed with boxy shaped lips and an Adam's apple larger the size of Donald Trump’s nose. He looked her up and down and noted the tats covering her hairy broad forearms as she braced one around a pitcher and rested the other on the booth he sat at. He fought himself to look away from the not so well shaped stuffed bra under her uniform.
