We visit the doctor, we eat right (at least, sometimes), we Google our symptoms and then fret when the results inevitably tell us we’re dying.

How To Stop Being Needy & Clingy In A Relationship

NOT a good look. At one time or another, most of us have found ourselves in a relationship where we’re clinging. But, this is never to our advantage. When you get a fleece jacket out of the dryer and every sock you own is stuck to it, it’s annoying, right? This clinginess is also aggravating in a relationship. Ergo, don’t be a sock; socks suck.

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 [...]

3 Ways To Stop Attracting Losers So You Can FINALLY Meet A Keeper

You deserve SO much more. Almost everyone in the dating world readily admits that they have a type.
