dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Dating Sites - Do We Need Them
I have a friend, let's call her Ann, who is looking for a man. Not just any man, of course, an individual between the ages of 25 and 35. Additional requirements are that he should be reasonably good looking, of sound mind and body, have a job, and be good-natured. In other words, a nice guy.

How I Ended Up With a Husband and a Boyfriend
When I met my husband I kissed him first. I dragged Jack home to my apartment on our first date, and we stayed up most of the night. The next day we met for a hike and wound up sneaking off the trail for a quicky against a tree. Here was a man with a sexual appetite tantamount to mine! Jackpot!

“I Deleted My Tinder Profile...”
And yes, I even told him that! Those who know me aren’t surprised! Those who don't know me probably think I'm a stage-five clinger. Now, I'll give you skeptics some credit, if this was six months ago, I'd totally be "that girl"...but with him, I'm not.

Your Partner is not Your Savior.
Savior: A person who saves someone or something from danger, situations and even themselves. I dated someone once who thought that I should be in charge of their happiness and who also thought that my happiness should be dependent on how happy they were not just in our relationship...but in life.

The More Subtle Reasons Someone Has an Emotional Affair
They lock eyes across the room. There is a spark… and they both can feel it instantly. There is a first date, second date, third date… until suddenly almost every night is spent at each other's places. Things become official and the two people decide to be in a monogamous relationship, and life couldn't be more perfect.

Tidbits for the Average Girl
A clip teased directly out of one of a memorable scene in the more hard to resist rom-coms—you definitely know the kinds to which I refer. Those ones that you swear a little too profusely you will never be caught dead watching (you do, when no one is around to see).

Dating Bill of Rights
In this society, the do’s and don’t of relationships have grown askew. Faulty and jaded double-standards, blinding both male and female to the importance of connection. Because both parties are held to such high, or low, standards, the health of relationships can be hard to maintain. Misconceptions and cruel misbehaviors, can turn to questions of consent and a gross possessive attitude or insecurity. But this isn’t all the blame of the individual, but a lack of dating/sexual education.

I'm A Lesbian Who's Attracted To Men
The first time someone called me a lesbian (to my face) was in the sixth grade. I don't remember what I did to deserve it. I do remember the sound of one of my fellow classmates screaming it at me across the playground. I also remember the sound of the other kids laughing and the shame that it sent through my body. That word, I learned, was not something I wanted people to call me again.

Breaking the Ice Without Playing Nice
Here's a scenario that I've found myself in while browsing through men's dating profiles online. I find a guy who seems interesting (and not like prime stalker-boyfriend material) and who might be my 'type', but I have no clue what to say to him in that initial message. I've passed on sending messages just because I couldn't come up with good icebreakers, not because the guys' profiles were lacking substance.
