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

The Truly-Toxic Lover
A major buzz-word in the relationship world these days is “toxicity” and/or whether or not you're in a “toxic relationship.” But, before we can truly decide whether we are in a toxic relationship, we must first determine what makes a person toxic, poisonous or hazardous to your health.

Introduction of Something Like Grindr for Straight People
Watch the television on any given night and you will almost certainly see at least one ad for an online dating site. The internet has made it easier than ever to meet compatible partners, with every race, gender, and sexual proclivity catered to in these dating apps. As far as the gay male community goes, it is Grindr that has become the app of choice. Much like Tinder, Grindr helps gay men quickly find hook-ups and potential long-term relationships with the flick of a finger across the screen of your smartphone. That’s great news for the gay community, but what about straight folks looking for love?

Relationships?
To start this off, we'll begin with one quick question: Have I ever been in a relationship before? The answer: no. Why? Honestly, by choice.

Letting Go of Jealousy
I'm a jealous person. I don't know that I've ever stated it so blatantly before, but alas, it's time to accept it. Plain and simple, it's the truth.

Why Beautiful Women Are Willing to Date Unattractive Men?
As much as we love to see beautiful couples, the reality just doesn’t match up. We see good looking guys marrying or getting together with really average girls, but even more frequently, we find average guys scoring girls waaay out of their league. Please bear in mind that it is extremely superficial and judgmental to say one party doesn’t deserve the other just because their “level of attractiveness” might not be the same. Following is just a light note of ponder and should be consumed only for entertainment purposes.

It's in His Kiss
Very little can rival the unbridled virility that is the sexiness of the Brazilian man. The passion, the confidence, the dancing, the kissing... Oh god, the kissing... I have now learned that the French Kiss is a misnomer. I thought I'd been on dates before. I thought I had danced before. Hell, I even thought I'd been kissed before, but when we swiped right, I had no idea what was about to happen.

10 Signs You're Not Emotionally Able to Deal With Casual Dating
Many people out there truly enjoy dating casually without having the full emotions behind it. It's basically fucking around without entirely having feelings for them. Almost like the concept of friends with benefits, but with a bit more emotion to the relationship. There are even some casual couples who see other people—that's how causal it is. But there are many other reasons why people do find pleasure in getting into causal relationships.

How Fuckboy Culture Got to Me
If you’re a Millennial, you know what a fuckboy is. He’s the ultra-confident schmoozer that gives off an air of indifference and danger. He’s the James Dean of our generation, and many of our male peers are trying to emulate this kind of masculinity. The dating game is full of uncertainty, so when I saw a stereotypical fuckboy, I was comforted by the fact that at least this time I knew what I was in for. I was tired of being hurt and blindsided by the guys I was interested in. “Nice guys” always seemed to burn me worse in the end than any fuckboy. I knew I didn’t want to get played again and vowed not to be so careless with my emotions. I became annoyed with any man who wanted something emotionally from me, especially if I didn’t feel ready to give it. Instead of taking some time away from the dating world to build myself up back up and re-evaluate my approach, I decided to get back out there and go for the “safe” guys—the ones I knew I wouldn’t get attached to. What better male demographic than the fuckboy?

The Art of Living Together
I remember when I was nine or 10 and I came home from camp to find that I finally had my own room. I broke down into tears out of pure joy. Finally, after roughly seven years, I wouldn't have to share a room with my sister anymore. Having my own space was its own kind of bliss. No more were the late nights because Ella would be up and about. No more having to agree on movies. No more having to go to bed early because she didn't want the lights on while I read and she tried to sleep.

A Fling Thing
As a freshman in college, you do everything to blend in. I didn’t know anybody back then. Our place was 50 miles away from home, far from the city that I used to grow up with.
