Things to Do as a Couple When the Weather Gets Too Cold
Figuring out what you and your significant other are going to do when you finally have free time together can be a struggle. You never want to be the one to pick. Next time you don't know what to do, try picking something from this list. When the weather starts to get cold the dates and Saturday activities start to become limited. As someone who has struggled with finding things to do with my significant other myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find things to do. Check out the list below for some ideas or inspiration for your next date.

Dating with a Disability: Finding Love in an Able-Bodied World
The dating world can be a scary concept for anyone. We never want to experience that dreaded feeling of rejection when a date doesn't go like we planned. Yet, we try again after our inner hopeless romantics break through and convince us that we deserved to be loved, whether the person is able-bodied or not.

Why High School Relationships Suck
Ah, high school, the four years of our youth that seem to lose significance as the years pass by. Now I'm not saying the four years we spent in high school were insignificant, I'm just saying they aren't as important as we thought they were, specifically in the love department. Sure, we made friends, some of which we talk to today, and some enemies too, but high school was full, brimming almost, overflowing with drama. And, while entertaining, drama isn't all that fun when you happen to be at the center of it all.

The Girl You Date Before You Get a Girlfriend
As of late I have been journaling hard, and I have always had a journal since I was 10 years old. When I look back into things I've written about mainly in high school, I always seem to have these entries about whatever guy broke my heart and then a week later had a girlfriend. Now at 23 I feel like I look at younger me and I am just baffled that I thought my love life was completely over because I was the girl before the girlfriend. Now if you are nothing like me and never been in this position go you, but if you know exactly what I am describing then continue reading. I remember about 4 guys I dated that I will describe with letters/nicknames as to not expose who they are(although I am 100% sure they won't be reading this).

15 Minutes
8:33 AM: Her eyes blinked open and she looked at her phone, reading the time with annoyance. Her alarm wouldn’t go off for another twelve minutes. Yet here she was, awoken by some invisible force within her. She lay in the bed staring at the ceiling for a few minutes, contemplating whether she should try to sleep the last few minutes before her phone blared to wake her up. “I should just get up” she thought aloud.

Dating a Raptor
Do you guys remember that scene in Jurassic Park where Muldoon is explaining to everyone how the raptors attack the fence, but never attack the same place twice? They don't attack that same spot because they got a shock, so they strategically test the fence. Attacking different spots every time. Looking for a weakness to exploit. This is also what a professional manipulator will do to a person.

You Make... Liking You... Easy
I met my current boyfriend on Tinder back in February of this year. We'll call him Matt for this story. Our first date was at a Buffalo Wild Wings after one of my waitress shift at another restaurant. We hung out a lot the next month or two but since he lived 40 minutes away I did not want to actually commit to a relationship with him. I ended up meeting another guy (let's call him Jerry) who lived in the same town as me and we started dating, which meant Matt was told I didn't want to date him because of distance... but I didn't tell him about Jerry. After a month of dating Jerry, he told me he loved me. I didn't love him so I told him it was too soon for me. He kept telling me and telling me, but I didn't say it back. Before summer break I went on a road trip with him to New Orleans to meet his dad's side of the family. I had a good couple days and realized his family is more fun than he is. He left to Japan from there and I flew back to College Station. When he dropped me off at the airport I accidentally told him I loved him even though I didn't. He spent the whole summer in Tokyo, and it was the toughest time for me because we couldn't talk much with a 14 hour time difference. Matt and I became friends again while Jerry was in Japan. He came over all the time because neither of us were taking classes or working so we would go out to eat or go on short road trips with each other. I still didn't tell Matt about Jerry. One night, Matt and I went to a party with some of my friends, got really drunk, and ended up sleeping with each other (Jerry had given me a sexual pass while he was gone with one condition—that I don't "cheat emotionally"). It happened a couple more times over the summer, and then Jerry invited me to go see him in Tokyo. I was hesitant because I felt like we had drifted apart since we could only talk really late at night or really early in the morning.
