All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
The Online Dating Survival Guide
I turned to online dating for an odd mix of reasons. I wasn't meeting people in college who I really gelled with and I didn't want to try pursuing a relationship with a colleague. After years of hoping for a serendipitous meeting with my perfect someone, I decided it was time to get a little more aggressive with my search for a partner.

Love Cannot Fix a Broken Person
Love can offer and accomplish a great many things in life, but it doesn’t fix broken people. Another person will never have the ability to heal the wounds inside of us. How many people do you know that believe they just need to find that perfect person, or find someone to love them, and then all of their old wounds will miraculously heal? How many people believe that they need to have someone else in their life to accomplish anything and to motivate and drive them? I can think of more than one of my closest friends who, no matter what I say, won’t do this for themselves. One of them actually believes that he must have a woman by his side to give him that motivation. He told me at one point, “I just don’t care about myself, but when I have someone it makes me want to be better for them.” My jaw hit the floor as I stood there looking at him with wild-eyed amazement. The fact is that this is an all too common way of thinking for many people. This specific example is obviously a case of low self-worth and image. My friend doesn’t value, respect, or really care about himself at all. He essentially believes that someone spectacular is going to come around and make everything that’s not alright, okay again. And he’s wrong, plain and simple.

Fake Sugar Daddies Continued
There's some men who say "I don't have to prove myself, I'm verified and I have a track record." I usually tell men like this that they haven't proven themselves to me, so until they prove themselves to me I don't know if they're real. In any type of arrangement or relationship, you have to prove yourself to the other person. We as sugar babies have to prove ourselves to the daddies, so why shouldn't they have to do the same?

5 Accessories to Give to Your Best Guy
Men can be very difficult to buy presents for. Either he's the guy who has everything, or he's the guy who doesn't want anything, or he wants some incredibly obscure thing that you're going to need to budget for. When it comes to off-the-cuff presents, there just aren't the same go-to gifts that are generally acceptable for women. Of course you can buy him flowers or jewelry, but there's no guarantee that it'll be anything other than a quirky joke. Here's a list of five easy presents that your guy friend probably either hasn't bought for himself yet, or he could stand to have more.

Emotionally Constipated
I wasn’t planning on writing today… but I felt the urge and here were are. Why is it so hard to open up; to be emotionally available and honest with another person? I never realized I had a problem. I always considered myself as the cool girl, especially when dating. Guys don’t want girls who are emotional, and are constantly talking about their feelings… right? WRONG.
