Love Amidst Chaos
Youre sitting in a coffee shop sipping on a late while two people behind you carry on a conversation that sounds like an email would’ve sufficed. The barista making their coffee smiles as she hands over the cup filled to the brim with what you’d later find to be the only coffee order you care to remember. You eye them from across the shop and feel the need to close your laptop and at the very least, say hello. Ten years down the line and you’ve got an amazing partner and some annoying but still amazing children and you think to yourself, “Wow, good thing I had that mocha all those years ago.”

SIX (6) ONLINE DATING GOLDEN RULES YOU MUST KNOW
Online dating has exploded in popularity over the past few years. As our lives get busier and more hectic, and the internet has become more accessible, it has become easier and easier to meet new people online as opposed to via more “traditional” methods.

I Found Out That My Boyfriend Is On Tinder
Social networks change the way we relate to each other, but the changes are so fast that we don't even think about new rules of etiquette to know what should be done in one case or another. That's why when a friend recently told me that she saw my boyfriend in Tinder, the truth is that I didn't get angry out of jealousy.

Relationship with a Sociopath
In the summer of 2012. I met a younger man for a relationship on Craigs List. He was very tall and blonde and very good looking. He was 24 and I was 58 at the time. He looked like a fashion model. He was a gay man from my area. He didn't have a car or a job or much money. I met him and took him over my place. We talked and seemed to hit it off. I then took him for some pizza and took him home. He seemed nice but a little strange.

how to swipe right
I talk a lot about dating rules and how unnerving it is that we have become too particular about how to date, who to date and how to maintain mutual connections. We rely on rules and regulations, tips and tricks to secure positive dating experiences or ‘make’ someone fall for us. Derived from our own stream of consciousness, which ticks over intense ideas around who we think would be ‘perfect for us’ - or the subconscious and superficial ideologies conjured up by the media, our social circles and movies that falsely forecast a happy ending every time. If only it was that easy.

A Second Chance
I’ve done it before... I promised I wouldn’t... I tried it every way before. This time I thought it would be different. Five months after our first meeting I’m slipping out of his bed just when dawn hit. The top of my gown was soaked from tears. I couldn’t cry until he climbed on top of me and began to insert himself in me. I couldn’t stop the tears from coming down my face he finally stopped when I became so dry it hurt.

The Odd Conversations in Online Dating
I've tried tinder four times, I've tried bumble twice, and OK Cupid twice. I tried to give online dating a chance when I wanted to experience dating and then eventually a relationship. I was close a couple of times, and I did have my experience, and I accepted the truth that most people had other intentions besides dating or a relationship.
