dating

All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

Big Girls and Big Guys
You know what I don’t like? When people look down on a couple because their girlfriend or boyfriend is bigger than me. You know what I don’t like even more than that? They look down more on the guy for being with a bigger girl than they would if it was a smaller girl dating a bigger guy.

The Key to Love
Before we dive into this deep subject, you have to know that I'm a 19-year-old girl who didn't really date guys when she was a teenager, so I wasn't experienced at all when I started dating my present boyfriend. When I was younger, I used to hang out with mostly boys of my age, but girls, not so much. So you can consider me as a girl that has thinking patterns similar to boys. Through my high school years, my few girl friends dated guys, but I didn't. And when I tried to approach boys, they friend-zoned me because they wanted a "girly girl." But I wasn't a "girly girl." So around my fourth year of high school (16 years old), I told myself to let this go and focus on school; have good grades to get into college the next year. As I watched my girl friends make mistakes with boys, I knew what I wanted and what I would hate if I was in a relationship.

Is He Interested in You or Are You the Booty Call?
We as humans desire to have sexual relations with others. It's just in our nature. The difference is some of us want more than just a late night booty call once a week. Some of us want that connection and that chemistry before we even find someone attractive. Men, on the other hand, have been shown to have more booty call chicks than a relationship with a lady. Now I'm not knocking friends with benefits. I have a post on why that is B.S. Friends with benefits usually already have that connection, but they don't want that label because as humans we let a label define us.

Stop Taking Dating Advice
People like to be told what to do. It's a major red pill for the vast majority but taking society into consideration, it's not a stretch in the slightest. From instruction manuals to dieting programs to those aesthetically pleasing workout VHS tapes from the eighties, it's definitely safe to assume that the world is a scary place and we're all looking for a little guidance—and that isn't a bad thing, is it?

Just an Ex? Or an Old Flame?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Kourtney K and Scott Disick. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. These couples simply cannot get a clean break from one another and if one happens to be their current partner, it’s hard not to doubt if the ex is still somewhere around lurking in their minds or lives.

Best Dating Apps for Open Relationships
Having an open relationship with someone can lead to many things. If you and your partner are okay with being together, and still want to see other people, then the two of you are in an open relationship. This usually leads to a third person entering the relationship or you and your partner are both seeing other people while still fully committed to each other. In fact, people who are in a successful polyamorous relationship seek for a third party to join them. Either for sex or possibly a loving relationship.

To the Guy Who Thinks Everything Is a Joke
Dear Jokster, We have known each other for years and when we always find our way back to each other, the flame is still burning deep inside. This time everything is different. This time, I put my feelings out there, and you laugh. I used to love your laugh and your joking around, but this time, you have taken it too far. This time, well this time, I don't know what happened. Or maybe I do, and I am about to call you out on your shit. I hope that one day you find this letter and know exactly who this is for. This is for the guy who always had to laugh and joke every time I needed you to be serious with me, just for a little while.

Finding Love for an Introvert
I have always been an extremely introverted person. I could not meet anyone new unless it was through someone that I had an already established relationship with. I was sure of myself and willing to meet people, but I could never take that first step towards the relationship, even if just for friendship. I am the type that would prefer to write out everything that is wrong and leave it for someone else to find rather than just talk it out. Why, you might ask? Because I am afraid of hurting their feelings or upsetting them in any way. So how does someone who can't approach someone else in a bar go about finding love? Online dating.

10 Things I Learned When I Tried Casually Dating
To begin with, casually dating someone is completely different from being in a real relationship. In an actual relationship, you're truly loving someone, having strong feelings for him, caring for him, never want to let him down, and possibly thinking about the future with him. This is nowhere near what a casual relationship is. When you're casually dating someone, there is actually a set of rules that you're supposed to follow. Rules like you can't fall in love with your partner (probably the biggest rule), you can still date other people when in a casual relationship, it's mainly about sex, don't get into each other's lives too much, and so on. Like I said before, it's the polar opposite of a real relationship. There are even things we lie about when it comes to casual dating.

The Mostly True Account of How John Tempton Ruined My Life
I have been on this earth for eighteen years, and no one has disrupted my life more than John Peter Tempton. He might not have meant to utterly destroy me at first, but he did. The way he treated me, I don't wish upon any human being ever. I used to think John was my friend, now I wish I’d seen him as an enemy right from the beginning.

The Worst Date I've Ever Had... And the Events That Followed
I'd just turned 21 and a boy had never liked me before. I'd never known what it was like for someone to be interested in dating me. I desperately wanted to be pursued, but it just wasn't happening. I continued to struggle to attract guys; maybe I'm just clueless when it comes to love. As clueless as I was, and continue to be, for about two weeks in April 2017, a boy liked me.
