All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Cute Relationship Goals for Every Couple
Being in love is truly the best feeling in the world. There's someone who understands you from the inside and out, loves all of your flaws, finds you to be hilarious, compliments you every five minutes, and overall enjoys being around and loving you. Even though the two of you are a couple, it feels like you're one being. From the emotions you two share to the same shows you guys are constantly watching together, nearly doing everything together binds the souls together into one emotion.

Pay No Attention to the Hole in My Sock
We met on Tinder, because of course we did.I used to think about that a lot, about how something I'd gotten so used to being arbitrary and inconsequential could bring me something so real, so visceral. The cultural implications didn't escape me; was what I had now some allegory for the advent of modern, technology-based romance, or some assertion that love, real-love, could poke its head out from the pile of warm, limp bodies and drink in the fresh air of existence? I used to think, "well, yes," but now I don't think I care. We matched in June of such and such year. At least, I think it was June. It was during the summer after my first year at university, and I had just gotten my old job back, jockeying popcorn at the concession stand at the movie theater in my hometown. I was staying with my mother and getting drunk on my days off. Things were sort of okay, or at least about as okay as they were before I left. But I was still lonely. So we got to talking.

A Date in Autumn
If the change in the temperature wasn't enough for me to realize that I had arrived at my destination, the sudden and familiar burst of aromas did it: I had just entered "Lilies Market." The warm and busy indoors market was welcoming in a cold and windy autumn day like this and, as usual, the scents from all the different booths filled the air in a sweet and savoury symphony that always put a smile on my face. Today, however, I am not going to smell the flowers in the third booth on the left, instead, I turn right here and follow the smell of hamburgers, pizzas, and divers appetizers to go get something to eat before journeying to the agreed upon spot.

Young Love
That feeling when you receive that text message whilst you're trying to concentrate on your lesson in high school. When it's dinner time and all you want to do is text him rather than socialise with your friends. The funny feelings you get when he messages you. You just can't beat it. And then, you guys make it official at the age of 16. The world at your feet, beginning your life in adult hood.

Why
I’ll be the first to say it: I’m sick of age gap apologists. I’m sick of people seeing no problem with today’s dating era of ages. I’m sick of people not knowing what legit consent is and what constitutes as "okay," to the point that people have to sit there and explain what the problem is to college age adults and over.

What It Means to Be in a NSA Relationship
Being in a no strings attached (NSA) relationship is like breaking the rules, but getting away with it. Meaning you're not in a fully committed relationship that only consists of pleasure and excitement. There's no love behind it, not being dedicated to this person, and you can also date other people while having an NSA relationship. That's why many men and women are so into it, but it's not for everyone. Not many people can handle a casual relationship because it's possible to end up falling for this person and that's not what having an NSA relationship is about.

A Love Letter
It feels like it was just yesterday that I saw you for the first time. Warm brown eyes filled with life and laughter, you carved your way into my heart and haven’t left since. I cannot imagine loving you more than I do at this very moment and yet I know that in the time to come, I will love you even more. I know that I should probably be weighed down by the intensity of the feelings that I have for you, but never have I felt more complete.

Saturday Night Bible Study
Who has been dragged to bible study when they where young? We all had to do it, and sometimes it was even fun. Fast forward about ten years. I had just gotten out of a very abusive relationship. I wasn't looking for a new boyfriend. This guy seemed pretty nice, so I had decided I would hang out with him a bit. For a few weeks we would just sit out on my porch and talk. He was easy to talk to. He seemed like a good 'ole country boy. Right down to the dirty cowboy hat. He even had a can of tobacco in his back pocket and called me ma'am. Sounds like the beginning of a cute country movie, right? Wrong! So very wrong.

My Second Love
The first time I fell in love was utterly disappointing. I don't really think I was ever in "love," at least not the real kind of enduring love. The kind of love that makes you care more about that person and their wellbeing and about how you can support them. No, this love was all about me and what I wanted from it. In the end, it festered and died as he had found someone else to fill the needs that I neglected to.
