All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
The Fishbowl
Imagine. The feeling of pure adrenaline coursing through your veins as you walk into staffroom for lunch, only to lock eyes on a lingering regret. I lost my appetite. Him? I should’ve expected it; things had been going well, too well. We call the staffroom the ‘fishbowl’ because all the students on their lunch break can see in but pretend we don’t exist and as long as they keep down, we extend them the same courtesy. Much like a child’s pet goldfish. Luckily, fate placed me on the other side of a window and apparently the awkwardness emanating from me was yet to be noticed. I promptly returned from whence I came.

From Toxic to Healthy
How must one know if they are in a toxic relationship or if they are in a healthy relationship? Well if you wake up feeling like you are unworthy every day that could be a sign that you are in a toxic relationship. Now waking up feeling great about life well then you have nothing to worry about, you are right where you need to be. Being with someone who is toxic can come in many forms and can often lead to abuse. Being with someone who is healthy for you comes in many different positive forms and helps so much on your mental health than anything.

The Woman I Love
Have you guys ever fallen in love with someone you met through a group chat because you had the same kind of interests? Well I have. This is how I fell in love with my beautiful fiancé Danielle. It was just a regular day in our anime group chat and we were all cracking jokes like we usually do. Danielle and I didn’t really talk to each other like that but I tried to get her more active in our group chat because everyone in there was so friendly and really good people. She was the kind of person who’d open up the chat and then say maybe one or two words and leave. As days progressed she started to become more attuned with the group and we all casually grew closer. One day I saw on her Facebook page that she was doing readings and being the person I am I was interested to see what she’d tell me so I messaged her about my reading. We exchanged numbers because messenger doesn’t allow super long videos. I have to say that a good percentage of her reading was spot on. I was always drowning myself in my own thoughts with my head down but then she said “More days are going to come where you won’t have to look down for a while, and instead you’ll be looking up.” Fast forward before I started talking to Danielle on a personal level I would just playfully flirt with the girls in the group chat. Around this time it was drawing near my birthday, I didn’t do anything for it but go to work and go right back home because I don’t know many people out here. I still don’t but I made some good memories with the people I’ve met and worked with I would say. It was my 24th birthday and everyone in the group chat wished me happy birthday and I thanked all of them as anyone would. Danielle had sent me a little bit of birthday money , which I was not expecting her to do so I tried to get her to take it back. It was $50 and I didn’t feel right with her giving me that much. But she was adamant about not taking it back. Heck I still tell her to take her money back when she offers me something. Danielle and I started talking more casually after that and the more we talked the closer we grew to each other and I eventually gave her the nickname Dani Bear 🐻, she instantly loved the nickname too so that was a fantastic thing for me. I’d say maybe about 2 months past and we’re talking to each other about our past relationships and how we want to be with someone who understands us and won’t hurt us like the others have done before. So I confess my feelings for her in the group chat saying that she’s the only one I want. Yes that’s very bold of me, but it had to be said before I ended up missing my chance. That same day she said she had feelings for me too. With our feelings being one in the same we started dating. It was June 4th when I asked her out and she said yes. We’ve been together ever since. I have come to the conclusion that this woman is who I wanna spend the rest of my life with no matter what. I’ve steeled myself for this and for her. That is what it means to be in love and I love this woman with all of my heart.

The break-up
Angela's POV: Tonight. I have to do it tonight. I chanted that in my mind like it was my life-saving mantra. Tonight was the night I had been holding off for so long. I was going to break up with Brian, my fiance of a year and before that, my boyfriend for two years.

The “Ex” Files
As I thought about John and my redo plans, I began to wonder if I should stand him up as well. I mean, he stood me up, embarrassed me, and made me look stupid. Maybe I’m taking this all too personally, but damnit I demand respect! I thought about this for days and finally I unblocked his number and told myself to just give it one more try. He seems like a total jerk but I kind of want to look at some eye candy for a while. I unblock his number and within two hours I receive text messages from him. “Hey, it’s me. John. So I wanted to apologize again for the way I handled things when we made plans. I should have done a better job at reaching out and letting you know what happened. Thanks for giving me another chance. When are you free”? I don’t know why, but part of me felt bad for him. For the way I acted and how I treated him in public. Ugh, I overthink too much!

Life, Love, Addiction
It was not that long ago that I walked into the Brass Ring Lounge a "Swanky Speakeasy" that played Jazz type music and met my soul mate. I say it was not long ago because it has only been 7 years but at the same time I feel it was a lifetime ago. This is my story of life, love, and addiction!

What Happened To True Love? Now We Are Only Left With The Heat Of A Few Minutes
I dare say eternally disappointed that true love has been lost. And the fact is that before saying I love you was not so simple, the magnitude of the feeling, made it difficult to pronounce these words.

Crazy and Absurd
First, have you ever been on a date where you questioned what they were thinking? Where you physically sat there wondering what was going through the other person's mind when they said or did what they were doing? I wish this hadn't been the case for me and on more than one occasion.

3 Reasons Why Hiring A Professional Dating Agency Manchester Is Worth the While
People think that hiring the services of a dating agency can be quite expensive. For this reason, some people look for other means to find dates, particularly by joining dating websites with membership fees or using free apps on their mobile phones, which may also charge for certain features such as allowing them to see profiles near their area, and the like. This, however, often becomes fruitless because getting to know someone online and meeting them in person are two different things. And others think that there are too much grey areas in the type of relationship they’re getting into or trying to establish, for that matter. For this reason, many people consider getting the services of a professional dating agency Manchester to help them achieve their dating goals.
