Should We Have Left It as a Holiday Romance?
I recently read an article about holiday romances and why you should leave them behind. It mentions that, on holiday, you are attracted to people you wouldn't normally give the time of day as being on holiday impairs your judgment, you can easily be swooned by a sexy accent, you're on a high when travelling, everything is exciting and intoxicating, hence, love is inevitable. However, once you return to reality, it usually tends to go south as ultimately, it is impossible to maintain the same excitement and intoxication that lead to you falling in love in the first place.

A Reflection on Dating Culture
Swipe, swipe, swipe. Match. Text. Talk. Meet. Repeat. New place. New face. Is it new? Is it something productive? It sometimes feels quite the opposite. Dating culture is weird, gone are the days of speaking to someone on the street. Starting a conversation in public.

Journal
March 06, 2017 So, I have been getting a lot of movies. I still have a lot more to get. But first I need to get DVD-RW from best buy. It's a 30 pack. I think I have 30 movies. But the only problem is I don't have money. The thing is about $25 dollars.

How to Know If He Is Interested or Just Looking for a Hookup
Is he overtly or slightly dirty when texting? The way a man texts you is one of the major ways to learn of his intentions. Most people will say things with more courage over text then they actually would in person. If he starts most late-night conversations asking suggestive questions or constantly trying to steer the conversation into that area that is a big sign.

What Is a Relationship?
“A relationship is based on honesty and communication,” said Charlotte York, the famous romantic optimistic character from Sex and the City. I could not agree more with this. Many people have their own definition of a relationship and how they think it should work, but what they don’t realize is that what might work for you, might not work for somebody else.

Not So Perfect Love Story: Part 4
At this point in the game, you’re probably like, “Jesus, take the wheel…. I’m getting tired of this fool and this Marriana mess.” It’s understandable but at the same time, you have to understand our dynamic. It doesn’t really matter what’s going on between us, I’ll always be there for her no matter what the circumstance is. I will say that, this is my last time though. I’ve come to the realization that she is nothing but trouble and not good for my life or health. On the way there, I’m thinking of what to say to let her know what the deal is.

Not So Perfect Love Story: Part 3
Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit about the extent of my injuries from the crash. Honestly, I only had a cut or two and a possible concussion, but I was urged to go for precautionary measures. I thought it was minor but hey you never know with these types of things. Of course, once people got word of what happened, people began blowing up my phone and showing up at the hospital. The first to get there was my friend Karim…

Not So Perfect Love Story: Part 2
Just as I thought it was all over… Just as I thought everything was back to normal… She comes back! I’m sure you remember how the story went the first time. It was nothing but a failed attempt at a “perfect” love. You may say, “there’s no such thing” but you couldn’t tell me that. I learned my lesson though… Or did I?

Are You Clingy?
Have you ever been called clingy? Or have you ever been told that you do too much? I am sure it stung to hear that from somebody that you love. After feeling the hurt of someone making it seem as though you are "too much" maybe it's time to sit down and evaluate if your clingy is good or the bad clingy.

University, Love, and I
I was never the person to obsess over relationships, yet here I am, blogging about relationships. All through high school and two years of community college, I happily went relationship free. Now I'm at University, and it seems as if everyone is here to find a mate.
