Dating: Do's & Don'ts
Dating is complicated. So we simplified it for you. What to do and what not to do - the Dating edition.
Boiling the Frog
It’s the summer holidays and as my day job is related to education, that is when I take a lot of my time off. My partner and I have just come back from a week and a half in Spain and then we just spent the long weekend in Amsterdam. It was really great for Jose and me to spend that time with each other and really calibrate ourselves, and by that I mean each self and then the third "self" that is us. I mean, we didn’t sit around contemplating our navels and trying to communicate telepathically or anything quite like that (although we got pretty close in Amsterdam when we tried mushrooms, that was until Jose came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his head with our toothbrushes as horns). We were our natural, unfiltered, and unaffected selves and it was nice to go back to point zero.

Ways to Be the Guy She Wants You to Be
There's something really, really wrong about modern dating. At least, that's the general consensus you'll hear if you ask women. Most women are getting increasingly leery about dating and relationships, primarily because the men they're encountering don't treat women as people.

Who's Not Your Baby?
Who's your daddy? Straight guys have been using this line to pick up females for quite some time, to varying degrees of success. It always struck me as incestuous and gross. Like why would anyone want to think about their father's during sexy times? Of course, I'm also the one who has a strict schedule for how often a new bf can see me, but that's for a different article or column if I can ever land one. Columns are as elusive for me as boyfriends are. Getting off track here. Who's your daddy? It boggles my mind that people think that this line is sexy. I don't get it. Am I alone in thinking that this is a pickup line that needs to go the way of "Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" Seriously, who thought necrophilia was sexy? Maybe there are some things that I am just not supposed to understand. By now, you must be trying to figure out why I am writing about this topic today. As always, a personal experience made me think about it.

The Truth About Couples Therapy
Having a relationship tends to be a wonderful thing to have whether it's romantic or platonic. Every type of relationship has ups and downs, little bumps in the road. Therefore, we need to face the fact that all relationships have issues. Some are big, some are small but, all issues big or small can eventually lead to the destruction of your relationship. We as humans tend to fixate on relationship issues and a lot of the time turn small issues into big ones.
