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

Trust
Trust can be defined as when one person is willing to rely on the actions of another person. The situation is typically directed toward a future goal.

How to Navigate a Long Distance Relationship
For those few dangerous souls that dare to start a LDR or for those who are contemplating what goes into a good LDR, it's time to spill some secrets.

Distance Between Us
You know everyone has gone through struggles in life. That's a given. If you are alive you are facing some kind of struggle. Granted some face far worse than others, but we all struggle. I've known a lot of people from all walks of life. I've lost family and friends. Had loved ones taken because of their addiction. I can empathize on different levels. There are things I haven't gone through and pray I never do. I can say the hardest and most hurtful is that of a long distance relationship. Don't get me wrong I believe it's completely worth it. LD relationships are so beautiful. If you can be faithful and truly devoted to someone that you hardly ever see or touch, while building a bond so strong it bridges miles of distance, you know that love is real and true. The true test is having the patience and understanding that though you are a couple, you are still living your own lives. Making time for one another and putting your significant other first is priority. Such a relationship is built on actually getting to know one another first and falling in love without sight or touch. You fall in love with who they truly are. You fall in love with their soul. It's a beautiful and trying experience. Not every LDR will last, just like those who see one another every day. If it doesn't last, it wasn't meant to be. Just like the saying goes, "tis better to have loved and lost, then to not have loved at all." There is nothing to compare to being in love and have the one you love, love you back as much or even more. To have that strong of a connection with someone an ocean away is incredible.

First Love and Best Friend
Picture this: a 16 year old girl, halfway through high school, finds out her boyfriend had been cheating on her, so inevitably they break up. Yeah, that was me. Worst day ever. Or so I thought...

Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes
Have you ever felt utterly different, meaning as in so confused you've truly been convinced yellow is blue and you know the difference but can not seem to change how you look at things?

Fifty First Dates Too Many and Counting
“You look super familiar,” can’t tell you how many times I have heard that one! Let’s just say that if I had a dollar for every time, I’d be a billionaire by now.

Just Listen
It’s easy for some to just get carried on in a conversation. As they continue to talk, you notice that the person listening is nodding their heads or saying “uh ha.” But then that annoying thing happens when the conversation turns deep and the person pulls out their phone when you’re trying to tell them something important... I’ve been guilty of that.

Dear You
July 21, 2018 Dear You You came to me today, you smiled, and gave me gifts and told me sweet things, and while we laid in bed and watched a show before we left for food. You paused it, your face crumpled down to sadness as you started to tell me that there was something that you needed to tell me. I felt my chest tighten, thinking that you were going to leave me, but instead it was something even worse. Something that I never expected you to say to me, something that I never wanted you to say. You tried to reach for me, but I stand up and I look at you before falling to the ground, the covers of my bed smell like Gain, I hated it. It smelled like sunshine and happiness, and I cried into that happiness, I felt the dread, and then anger came.

When I Stopped Caring
High school. The beginning of the dating world. It seems like once you start, you can't stop. Everything becomes about dating or being with someone. And when you aren't, somethings wrong with you and everyone asks why you aren't with someone. My first boyfriend, Jeremy, it felt like I was driving a car blind folded. He asked me out to some party and then we were automatically together because I said yes. So I just went with it, even though I was pretty sure I didn't like him that way. I was just so engrossed with the new world of dating, flirting and being flattered that someone liked me like that. He was my training wheels as far as dating and I was beyond ready for them to come off.

Love Shouldn't Hurt
Hello, Karina Ramirez here, soo... where can I start? Okay, I will start back in the year of 2014. I met a young boy lets call him Scott. So Scott, I met him through Facebook. I still remember his picture. Red shirt. Green jacket. Black ''swags'' hat. Camo jeans and Red Nikes. I know what you're thinking already: this kid is an ugly swag boy. Guess what? He was.

My Long Distance Relationship
I have been with my boyfriend officially for a year in the New Year (4 days into it actually), and I've known him for considerably longer than that. When we met he was still a soldier in the British Army (Yikes!) and I was and still am a University student—to his dismay.
