Seems SO weird, right? But wait ... It’s the oldest tale in romance — boy likes girl, boy teases girl on the playground, boy and girl live happily ever after. Yes, it starts early and often continues on from there. The signs he likes you aren’t always obvious — or even particularly conducive to love. Sometimes he sends clear signals — he may text you, call you, or send a dozen roses for no reason at all. Or, shockingly [...]
Dreams can come true, you know. Since the beginning of time, games have been played among the genders — women versus men, men versus women. The victor is the one who gets their way. But, as integral as game-playing may appear to be in a relationship, it’s not ideal. In fact, it hurts more relationships than it helps. If you’re wondering how to get your ex back, it’s worth hanging up your uniform and retiring from competition [...]
You deserve SO much more. Almost everyone in the dating world readily admits that they have a type. Men might admit to liking blondes or girls who are tomboys; women might admit to liking men who are built or unforgivingly ambitious. While most people are fine showcasing the exterior of their type to anyone who asks — for instance, "I only date guys who make me laugh" — they don't showcase (or perhaps even notice) the [...]
Men are often forgotten in the midst of being the band on the ring, and not the diamond. I’m sure you’ve wanted to experience your own individuality and appreciation for being you. Your man is no different. In fact, men are often forgotten in the midst of being the band on the ring, and not the diamond. The diamond is you. The woman is the gorgeous sparkle, but your man needs recognition for the way [...]
Hint: it's not sex! The question “What do women want?” is one people have asked since the beginning of time. In fact, during the Stone Age, both the 'shoulder shrug' and the 'head scratch' head were invented by people pondering this very question. Unfortunately, this common query fails to include the other half of the partnership: the one with a Y chromosome. So, what do men want? And what do men want most in a relationship? Just as [...]
Stop sitting on the sidelines, guys. From questions to doubts to plain old paranoia, sometimes it’s a wonder that any first date leads to marriage. For men, this trickiness is often compounded. That’s because the ball is in your court. No, it’s not in your court just because you’re a male; it’s here because women are attracted to men of conviction (not to be confused with men who have a conviction). Thus, if you want [...]
Not every relationship was meant to last... Despite what the typical fairytale leads us to believe, not every person in the world belongs together. Plainly put, breakups happen (if they didn’t, we’d all still be dating the first person who gave us "cooties" back in kindergarten). While no one can tell you exactly when to end a relationship with your partner, there are ways to know if it's time to end a relationship that is desperately [...]
And we mean...anything. There’s a running joke about long-term couples and their lack of sex; it seems every comedian who has ever taken the stage has alluded to it. One of the reasons for its popularity is the truthfulness it evokes. People who have been together for years, when compared to new couples, don’t have sex as often. Of course this makes sense: just as people are likely to play with a new video game [...]
Does distance make the heart grow fonder — or is it out of sight and out of mind? Whether we admit it or not, romance comes with a set of unwritten rules — laws we follow in order to win the dating game (and turn it into the mating game). Among the most talked about of these rules is the one involving what to do during the post-breakup phase if you want to know how to get him [...]
He was SO into you ... and then he wasn't. Here are the reasons why he left but WON'T tell you: We've all rented a room or two at the "Heartbreak Hotel," maybe even on more than one occasion. Sometimes, we say that we didn't see the breakup coming (even when it's approaching like a raging bull wearing a neon green shirt and pressing a blow horn). Other times, they truly do appear out of nowhere; everything was [...]
