dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
How Do You Know Someone Is 'The One'?
I really want to answer this question because, like others who may have asked the same thing, I struggled with it myself for years, especially when I started to seriously date and have relationships. I started having desires to get married when I was young, and it became my almost every thought: boys, dating, relationships, marriage, having kids. I actually thought something was wrong with me because of how often I had these thoughts and desires, especially with how young I was. I remember praying to God and going into scripture hoping to find something about me, almost directly, that I could apply to my life to answer the questions I had about who do I look for when it comes to my future husband, how do I know if he’s the right one for me, etc. And I’d end up becoming depressed because I felt God wasn’t helping me because I wasn’t getting the answers I was seeking as well as I was reading the Bible almost like a fortune cookie to help with my specific life when it’s really a narrative about Jesus and how he redeemed humanity. As I’ve grown up and my walk with Jesus has grown, my perspective on that question changed as well as what it really meant.

He's 57, I Am 23
Naughty or Nice? It's so twisted and so wrong, and I am so into it. I'm a 23-year-old female with quite the sexual experience, and I've had a few partners in this lifetime. Kinks and taboos change over time. One day you're all into monogamous sex, the next you're into being abused, then you're into group sex, then I thought I was a lesbian, and then comes the older guys.

You, Me, and the Roommate
Let's get this out in the open first. I have always been a hopeless romantic that falls hard and fast. I've dreamed of finding that perfect someone and starting a little hipster family in a perfect little city with hipster friends and disgruntled extended family who clutch onto their traditional ways of life. Openly longing for a family isn't necessarily common for a young millennial male specimen as myself. I am a man, I am proud, I am not ashamed of wearing my heart on my sleeve. I wanted love and I wanted it so badly, but I also have a horrible tendency—I have a track record of dating extremely unstable people.

Worst. Date. Ever.
The worst date I have ever been on was when a kid I had known for quite a long time who constantly bugged me to hangout and then I would not hear from him or I would blow him off because of it, asked me to go to a hockey game with him. Being a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan (and not to mention the seats were awesome), I thought that I would give this kid one last shot. What was the worst that could go wrong?

Encounter With a Bad Boy
I always liked the bad boys, you know the ones, they never followed the rules, were always good looking, and never cared about anyone but themselves, but they had sex appeal. The kind of appeal that made me hurt deep down inside just thinking about them, and as I grew older, I began to act on those feelings, but one date taught me to reign in my hormones and think about my life.

Are You Upset With Me?
Are you upset with me? I seem to ask myself that question once a week, if not more. You never give me an answer. One day, you'll still talk to me, make jokes, ask me about my life, smile. The next day, you won't say hi back to me, you'll ignore me, you'll pretend I'm not in the room. I don't know what I did.

Now That I'm 'Hot' You Want Me?
Okay, so this guy I had known for many years named Jake asked me if I wanted to go get lunch with him. I thought to myself, Yay, free food with my friend! So, of course I agreed to go. I mean, who with a working brain declines free food?

My Worst Date
Over the years, I have listened to my friends tell me the funny, and not so funny stories about people they have dated. I hoped never to be able to relate; unfortunately, things don’t always work out as planned, so here we are. Brace yourself, as I share with you the worst date of my life! Meeting people online is not as taboo as it once was. More often, couples are finding each other online, and I am no exception. Being in my late thirties, going out has become obsolete, so the internet (although it has a sense of humor) has become my best friend.

Horrors of Using a Right Swipe
When you have recently become single, meeting people is difficult, especially those of us with RBF (resting bitch face). I personally do not go out by myself to many adult places such as bars or clubs, which makes meeting people that much harder. I am also a little bit of a... strong-willed female that believes in exploring my body with others.
