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

Guys, Here's Why Women Swipe Left on Your Dating Profile
You're on X-number of dating websites/apps and growing ever the more frustrated. Women aren't responding to your messages, let alone "liking" or "swiping right" on your profile. It has been weeks, maybe months, or even years. You want to give up, but there's that little sliver of hope left that she's out there somewhere.

Relationship Red flags
We’ve all been there before..meeting a person we find ridiculously attractive and all is going well until little things happen that we look past, but we shouldn’t. These are some red flags (signs that you should leave the relationship as it will almost always end up toxic).

Situationship
If you don't know what it is, thats probably a good thing. Consider yourself lucky! It's a "relationship" that isn't actually a relationship. A connection that has no real direction. He or she is your lover, your friend, but not your boyfriend/girlfriend, not your future. They are just a situation. A person that fills your time but isn't suppose to fill your heart.

Treat you like a queen
"I'll treat you like a Queen" As I walk the toward my room I hear "way you screamin' scratchin' yellin'..bet the neighbors know my name." Not fond of the song, I quickly write throughout my journal the lyrics lingering from Khadijah's room and quickly search on YouTube to realize it's a single from Trey Songz, "Nieghbors Know My Name." I like the song alot, and plan to listen repeatedly when I get the chance. (I have the strange habit of listening to the same song repeatedly if I have never heard before or want to learn the lyrics.) I walk over to Khadijah's room and knock politely. A male's voice yells, "who is it?" followed by a chuckle from Khadijah. "Hey! It's Marie." I should just take my behind back to my room knowing all well what's going on. The second I turn away, Khadijah opens the door and out walks Darrel from last night. "I'm sorry Khadijah, I can always come back later." Without really looking my way she gracefully brushes past me and opens the window in her room. "Girl just come in." I shyly sit onto a nearby chair, "Y'know Lala told me to come by after class if I wanted to go to Ibiza with you guys tonight." Khadijah fiddles with a weak cigarette lighter, holding it closely to a blunt. Inbetween inhaling smoke she speaks. " Uh, yea we going to Ibiza near eleven tonight. You in?"

What makes a moment special enough to persevere it with a photograph?
What makes a moment special? More particularly, what makes a moment special enough to want to capture a photograph of it? I’m sure there are millions of possible answers. I bet if you ask this question to every person you meet, each answer would be just as unique as the individual answering.

Can we just cut the chase and get to know each other?
We live in a generation where chasing one another is seen as more desirable than walking side by side. A generation where, if a woman doesn’t pretend to disinterested or a man isn’t wanted by many others, then we aren’t as attracted to them as we otherwise would’ve been. A generation where a woman is unconsciously tuned to pursue a typical ‘play hard to get’ tactic with a man who she’s interested in, and where a man has to spend all of his time and energy in pursuing this woman until he breaks through her set-up-only-for-dating-purposes-but-otherwise-nonexistent-for-her-family-and-friends-wall.

He Lied... Three Years Later I'm Still With Him
We met in Tinder one September while he was on vacation in Austin. We met up and enjoyed a whirlwind 36 hours of deep conversations and intense sex, forging a connection that was deep and real. Our intoxicating first meeting led way to me traveling to Denver to see him. I knew I was falling hard and fast for him, and I embraced the highs of a new relationship with zeal.

How To Date a Pisces
As one myself, I can lend a lot of experience to all of the complex traits that surround Pisces. It is mainly described as one of the most emotional and spiritual signs - especially due to its water element - but there is so much more behind it. Particularly in relationships, a Pisces will often act in unexpected ways that you may not be familiar with.
