dating

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

My worst relationship was actually my most valuable relationship.
When I was younger, I always did what I thought was the right thing to do and also to try and help others be happy. Wrong move. I’ll tell you why.

5 Signs he only wants you for sex
Searching for love on dating apps is not something easy nowadays. The only reason why I say that is because you never can find the person with the same intentions as you. It is either one has more feelings than the other or one good careless. It can be frustrating when you are the typical individual who is a hopeless romantic. Most of the time, guys or girls usually want to have sex so much that they are willing to skip over the process to get to know each other to have it.

Love in the Time of Corona
Just before the Covid-19 outbreak hit its first lockdown in Australia, I tried out online dating. I tried sites like eHarmony, OkCupid and the nefarious Tinder. It was no worldwide pandemic, but it was definitely good practice for testing boundaries, washing my hands clean of expectations and raising my standards from some of the scum that was out there.

A Generous Boy with a Great Tinder Profile
I have not experienced much generosity throughout my life. My teenage years were riddled with anxiety, loneliness, laying awake through the night wondering if I would ever be satisfied, or eventually happy.

Why do we do the things that we do..? What I mean by that is sabotaging relationships, friendships, career opportunities etc...

An End to a Beginning
It was one of those nights. The kind you wish you could replicate and live over and over. There was an exhilarating feeling swirling in the crisp late summer air, and I felt unequivocally free. It wasn’t too often that I felt this sense of freedom and excitement; as a student, I spent much of my time in class, writing papers, studying for exams, and everything in between. Most of my summer had been spent running between classes and my part-time job cleaning vacation rentals, and trying to escape the heat while desperately trying to make progress on my master’s thesis; which taunted me all summer long. Things felt dull, and as I admitted to my best friend Eva the day before -I was stuck. Stagnant. Floating in a murky pond of “should’s”, “could’s”, and “if only’s”. As I see it now, sometimes you have to get terribly uncomfortable before you can muster up the courage to make a drastic change, and take control of your life again. I had gotten so uncomfortable with my day to day, and the mundane reality of my situation, that I was suddenly forced into a choice which I had never had to make before. My life up until then, had unremarkably gone according to plan. However, I would get home at the end of a long day, too hot and exhausted to cook myself dinner, only to have to clean up, get organized for the next day, and do it all again. The moment that I realized that I didn’t want to go to bed because the morning would come too quickly, I realized that this is no way to live. So as I had the first conversation that would liberate me from the prison I had created for myself, my voice trembled, my heart pounded in my chest, my palms sweat, but I did not hold back.

Summer Night
Laying on that trampoline, in the backyard of some friend-of-a-friends’ house, drunk on sickly sweet Vodka drinks, fruit, though they all tasted of sugar, and the balmy Summer night air. Every tiny little hair on my body caressed by every little breeze. I can feel it, as though the gentle hands of a lover, dancing over my skin.

Feathers Above Fire
Everything was grey, solid, and sharp. The walls were abrasive concrete that you didn't want to brush against. The garage was lined with boxes and mechanical equipment. The door sealed itself against the floor to prevent the winter air from intruding. There was a moon beyond it all, out of reach. Above the garage, a two-bedroom apartment quietly sat, aside from the dog's relaxed breathing coming from the bed's tan sheets.

Swipe Right In 2021: What Dating Apps Are Worth Your Time
As someone who met the love of their life on a dating app, I would definitely consider myself biased when it comes to the value of these services. With so many apps to choose from, it can hard to keep up with what works and what will waste your time. There are lots of options out there, each with pros and cons. Some have easy to navigate user interfaces while others have helpful parameters for helping pick a potential significant other.

F-Boy Spotting
F-Boy Types This generation is not my cup of tea from the vanity to the inability to put the phone down or technology in general down and get to know each other. TV watching is the only exception. That is not what I am here to discuss though. I am here to talk about my experiences dealing with F-boy after F-boy after F-boy and the various common types of F-boys I encountered. I spotted five types; the No Label F-Boy, the Kiss Up Pitty F-Boy , the Power Grabbing F-Boy, the Bragging F-Boy and the Good D F-Boy.
