The 'What If' Game
It was a love affair that never happened. A relationship that didn’t go anywhere at all. I’ve played the ‘What If Game’ a lot the past few days. It never makes a difference, of course, it’s just myself trying to reason with decisions we’ve already made. The choice was already made for us. What if… what if I wasn’t leaving in a month, would we be together? What if I wasn’t leaving at all… would we have a relationship, a real one and what if I didn’t want that, what if I did? What if after years and years I left anyway? What if I stayed for half a year? We could do a short relationship full of lovely things but then… what if both our hearts break? What if we fell in love?

Reason First: The Idea of the First Date in the Digital Age
What separates men from males in romantic relationships is the fact that there must be a level of spine and testicular fortitude to match the woman’s femininity. In order to achieve this balance, it is important to communicate with honesty, primarily. A relationship is built on the pillars of virtue that among these are honesty and integrity. Ayn Rand once said that a man must be rational and consistent not only in his work, but in all aspects of life as well.

Diary of a Dying Girl (Pt. 1)
The Boy That Is Back in Town I don't know why you're back in town. I'm definitely not sad about it even though I know I'll never see you. It's weird, crushing out and feeling guilty because I practically beg the fates to make all of my dreams about you.

Crossing That Bridge... Maybe Not
Let’s start with some background: We dated off and on for over three years. Lived together, then didn’t, then did and then didn’t... you see the pattern here. And you might be thinking why? Well, to start, I’m 10 years his senior, and was going through my divorce when I met him. I’m also a mom, and he has no children. When we met, I was with my son at the time, and so he had the full picture from the start. I can honestly say I was flattered when he gave me his number but didn’t expect much to come from it. I was 38 and he was turning 28 in about a month. So you can see why I didn’t expect it to last as long as it did. He was charming, omg was he charming. Things were great.

10 Signs You're Affair Ready
Contrary to what some may say, affairs never "just happen." There is never an affair where the cheating partner doesn't mean to have it happen. There's a point where they say that one time won't hurt—or where they actively decide to seek out a side piece.

This Is Why Men Cheat Right Before Relationship Milestones
Cassius really seemed like the wholesome type of guy women settle down with. He was gainfully employed, handsome as could be, and also had a personality that brightened up a room. So, when he started talking to me, I was pretty friggin' happy.
