My Tinder Success Story
Every day new people are embarking on a hunt through an online smorgasbord of potential dates. We often hear of the pitfalls of talking to people online and somehow trying to establishing some common ground, using a mixture of bold chat up lines, heart eyes, and drip drop emojis. The majority of the time, these short-lived technological romances end in disappointment. However, every now and then, this chance meeting with the swipe of a thumb can make magic. I am one of those few who completely unexpectedly met the love of my life on Tinder. Yep, that’s right... Tinder.

Five Apps Singles Should Try This Weekend
Some call it a chemical change, some call it an emotion, but love, or for that matter, the sense of companionship is much more than emotion or chemical change in the body. It is beyond the plain old description derived from words. Everyone longs for a companion and if you are someone who hasn’t had the pleasure of being with someone who loves and cherishes you for who you are, it’s about time that you invest yourself in the millennial generation dating technique.

"Hey" – read at 7:02. "Hey" – read at 7:05. "Hi" – read at 7:08. "Hey" – read at 7:12 "Hey" – read at 7:23. "What’s up?" – read at 7:24.

At First Sight (Pt. 1)
First Date Looking back, she should have known. She should have known that that look wasn’t love. She should have known that look wasn’t ecstasy. She should have known that look was desire on the verge of obsession. First loves are blinding. The entire world could be burning and she would never have known. She knew though, knew after it was too late.

Reason First: The Idea of the First Date in the Digital Age
What separates men from males in romantic relationships is the fact that there must be a level of spine and testicular fortitude to match the woman’s femininity. In order to achieve this balance, it is important to communicate with honesty, primarily. A relationship is built on the pillars of virtue that among these are honesty and integrity. Ayn Rand once said that a man must be rational and consistent not only in his work, but in all aspects of life as well.

Online Dating Safety Tips
Online dating sites and apps are becoming an increasingly common method of finding a romantic partner these days. Online dating used to come with a stigma, and people would often try and hide it that they met their significant other online. That isn’t the case anymore, especially among younger demographics. In 2017, an astonishing 30 percent of American internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were using at least one type of online dating app or service.

The Fun of (Tipsy) Online Dating
It has occurred to me that many people take online dating very seriously. Not only is it a way to get a free meal or a drink (sorry men), women use it as a religion. Women that are truly searching for that special someone and go on dates actively finding ''the one.'' A lot of friends of mine have actually met their special someone through an app. Even my mother found herself a gem of a man on Tinder.

Girl Talk (Pt. 2)
As I am sipping my first glass of wine of the day, I thought to myself, why not write about my first time. In my last Girl Talk, I talked about how I use online dating, well that wasn't my first time doing so, to be honest, all of the men I've dated I've met through a dating site. I'm here though to talk about my time of firsts, my first time on a dating site, my first time going on a date, my first time having sex, and yes this all happened with the first guy I met through the online dating app, OKCupid.

Trivializing Tinder
The movies paint a picture-perfect image of how we meet the perfect person and fall in love and somehow end up living happily-ever-after. Yet this story-tell ideal of romance is very much detached from the reality of dating. Of course, there are some cases where two people meet and it sticks and they end up being one of those “forever couples” who stay together no matter what, but then there is the rest of us. We are the vast majority who find ourselves wondering how we will ever meet “the one.”

Girl Talk (Pt. 1)
I am 22 years old and have yet to be in a serious relationship, or have made a relationship "official.". Let me explain, my whole life I was raised to the idea that in order to be in a relationship, to even call it a relationship, is when the guy or girl defines the relationship and they agree they're boyfriend and girlfriend. So yes, I've gone on many of dates, yes, I've been with the same guy, been loyal to him, gone on plenty of dates, did all the "couple stuff," and yet every time I bring up the topic of, "Where do we stand?" or "What are we?", everything seems to fall apart. Let me walk you through my most proud dating moments where I thought things were getting somewhere.
