#MyWorstDate
Every human on earth who has been in the dating game has gone through at least one bad date. Most of us conclude that the majority of bad dates come from online dating and apps, but not for me. My worst date ever happened with someone who I (thought) I knew!

The Rules: May Not Always Work for Gender Non-Conforming
The good points on the Rules is that it does mention to put yourself first, but you cannot pursue the one pursuing you. The Rules' values being mysterious, not laying it bare on the first date, which I do agree with. One rule I also agree with is ending the date first, so you leave the opposite partner wanting more. The Rules does explain what men want but the concept does not warm up to the modern feminist thought of pursuing the man as an equal. If we are equals, then a woman can do the Rules on a man, and a man can do the Rules on a woman. The Rules is not necessarily about gender equality, however, because it is about the woman allowing the man to pursue her, which means she has him interested in her only, and she doesn’t get treated badly as a result.

Passion
All I can say is love sucks. Love has never been a happy thing and will always be a thorny rose. When I fall in love, I fall hard. I hope I can be free of my constant loneliness; I learned now that I was just going to have my heart crushed and broken to an even worse state than it already was, over and over again. These are just the ones I remember the best

Dear Thomas
Dear Thomas, There are a plethora of words in the English language, words that consist of an even larger number of letters that we attribute certain sounds to. Sometimes I wonder how twenty-four different shapes can be combined in various patterns to create things that can make us happy or sad and the array of emotions in between. What additionally strikes me is how powerful these words can be and how much pain they can inflict on us and our relationships.

Unique DIY Valentine's Day Gifts for Men
Finding the perfect gift for Valentine's Day is especially hard when shopping for a boyfriend or husband. Instead of spending a ton of money on a new toolkit they don't need, or a bunch of chocolate that will likely go stale, why don't you make something yourself?

The Worst Date for Ms. Caldwell
The worst date for a person is just like beauty; it's in the eye (emotions/feelings) of the beholder. So I will take you to a small part in my past. I had some really good and bad dates, but I as the title suggests, this will be my worst date I have ever encountered.

A Date, Intimacy, and a Police Car
I was dating a guy who was my best friend first. He and I dated for nine months, and he was older than me by a year. Our relationship was fun, but there were moments that made me feel like our relationship wasn’t going to last. Whenever I would try to tell him that I loved him, he would call being in love “foolish,” but beg me not to break up with him. He also thought that he was smarter than me because of his age and the fact that his mother was a teacher. He also walked around the high school with arrogance because his father was the associate football coach, and a former city councilman in our town. Plus he could not stand the fact that he lost being valedictorian in his graduating class to a girl. The red flags were everywhere, but I was young and dumb.

The “Gay” Life
I know you're probably wondering, “TWO pretty faces? MARRIED?! Something can’t be right,” but no... it’s where we belong. I’m beyond happy to stand where I stand today, to say I’m a lesbian and I’m happy with the life I live and the shoes I walk in. Most people will say they were born gay, but I think I’m mature enough to say when I realized my sexuality was different then the other little girls around me. Back when I was in kindergarten, we had nap time where you get a blue pad to lay on and grab your blanket. Everyone grabbed their blankets while I grabbed the closet blue cot to a girl I thought at the time would like me (some little girl who is now irrelevant). The point was, I knew then at a young age that something was different about me and I mustn’t show face too soon to my parents. So years flew by, where I’m now in middle school. My mom moved us (my little brother, who was diagnosed with autism as a baby, myself, and my mother) to Motel 6. She was a single mom who tried her best to raise her two kids with no help, not even from the men who helped bring us into this world. But anyways, it was my first day at school and I was really nervous being that we were homeless and this was a NO UNIFORM policy middle school, so you just wore your whole wardrobe to school, and being that we were practically homeless, I had but so many options to choose from for school. My first period was science and in front of me sat a girl I could actually say was the word beautiful. She smiled like no other, her hair looked so soft as if it didn’t needed to be touched, and everyone except me knew of this girl. Her name was Angel (who is now my wife). I was so nervous to speak to her the way everyone else was, so comfortable with speaking to her—I just wished I could do the same. So I wrote her a note, and only 1 minute later she wrote me back... she liked me just as much as I liked her. The first thing that came to mind was my mother.
