Will your love make it for the long haul? Health. We all think about it, especially as we age. 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. But when we think about health, we do so only as it relates to our bodies. We often forget to think about health in terms of romantic relationships. Just as physical health prolongs life, [...]
First, you need to know what you really want. If you’re wondering about how to deal with a breakup, there’s a chance you’re wanting your ex back. You’re probably devastated and wondering what went wrong. In fact, if you’re on the internet looking at dating articles, the odds are pretty high that you’re hurting, looking for hope, and wanting to know how to fix things. But wanting a reconciliation and the proverbial "happily ever after" isn’t [...]
You deserve a GREAT man. We all lie to ourselves about a variety of things; we pretend that certain issues don’t bother us, or we claim that the diet starts on Monday. It’s a human thing to do. But when it comes to relationships, there are three little lies that crush women's self-esteem and sabotage their chances at love with men. These are things women tell themselves that start out as little lies, but can turn into big problems — at least [...]
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. Still, learning how to stop being needy and clingy is more than just [...]
It's time to move on. Here's how. Learning how to move on after a breakup is hard. If getting over someone was as getting under someone else. Instead, it’s time-consuming and enough to make us wonder if asexual creatures actually have the right idea. Still, getting over a breakup isn’t impossible. Millions of people do it every day (and perhaps you’ve done it before as well). Yet realizing a few truths helps make the process not only easier but more productive, [...]
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 [...]
