How One Can Attain Power Through Displaying Vulnerability
We all like to feel the occasional sense of control. This feeling rises in a multitude of scenarios, such as the relationship between a mother and her child, an employer and his status of superiority over his employees, or even being the decision-maker in a friend group. However, people don’t commonly analyse the importance of these encounters or grasps of power in our everyday life, which is where I believe people make their initial fundamental mistake in the surge for power.

How To Tell If Your Boyfriend's Female Friend Is "Just A Friend"
We've all been there at one point: your boyfriend chats with another girl, they exchange phone numbers, they spend time together occasionally and are connected on social media. You may or may not know their history as friends (i.e. if they were exes, have mutual friends, or if they went to school together), but what you do know is that it makes you feel a little bit uncomfortable. It's warranted of course: after all, you're the girlfriend. But not all of these kinds of friendships are serious matters that you need to worry about, and it can be difficult to tell which is which without being too intrusive. Here are 10 questions you can ask yourself to determine if you should take a deep breath and relax, or if you should think about having a serious talk with your boyfriend.

How To Create The Perfect Online Dating Profile In 3 Easy Steps
We've all been there before: you answered the questions, wrote a little bit about yourself in the profile section, posted it online with the cutest selfie you could find, and despite the vast amount of lonely emotions that are swimming in your chest, you're debating about whether or not it might be a good idea to reply to smooth_operator69.The good news is that if online dating doesn't seem to be working for you just yet, you're not alone.

The reality is: people are out looking, and if you’re single, the dating market is at its prime. The question is: do you have a dating profile that’s up for the challenge?

How to Write a Romantic Story
It all starts out with a good character. When I say that, I don’t mean a morally good character. Bad people tend to be crowdpleasers as long as there is a tragic story to why they went bad, without a backstory as such the character is just an mean person, which is alright as long as, in the end, their love interest changes that part of them. The bad character has to get morals and realize that they should be good because, suddenly, it all makes sense—the only thing in their life missing was LOVE.

How To Deal with Betrayal
As we grow older in life, we go through different experiences and face many obstacles. It’s a part of growing up, and that’s what you've been told your entire life. But the one thing no one could ever prepare you for or teach you how to deal with is betrayal. It’s not something you can watch a “how to” video on or something easy to ask someone about.

How could I think that they actually cared about me? I’m an idiot.” Believe it or not, you aren’t an idiot. And I’ve learned that through my own personal experiences. And I’m here to help you get though this.

Leaving your boyfriend's side for the holidays can feel like a sadistic remake of Christopher Nolan's movie, The Prestige. One moment, he's by your side constantly.

Friendly Issues
When you make a new friend, it's a wonderful feeling. You learn new things and have new experiences with this friend, expanding your mind to possibilities, opportunities, hobbies, and more. You usually don't think that with any person you call your friend, that anything truly bad will happen to your friendship.
