Say "I Love You"
Growing up, my family was never too vocal about emotions, at least not that I can remember. We never filled the air with I love yous, but instead it was just something implied. I knew I was loved, as did everyone else in my family, we just never really felt the need to share it. But I remember when it changed.

How to Not Woo a Woman
The world of dating is tough. Especially online dating. It seems like every time you want a real relationship, everyone else wants a hook-up and every time you want a hook-up, everyone else wants you to meet their mother and join their church and bare their children.

Both Sexes Answer: What Women Want in a Man
That’s right, my peeps, it’s time for another Jus L'amore experiment. Recently, I discussed Top Male Turnoffs for Women, which illustrated five of the worst traits a man could possess according to women. Now, it's only right that we delve into what women DO find attractive in a man. However, this time I wanted to switch things up and survey males as well as females to see if men have any idea of what turns a women on. So, with the help of 50 men and 50 women, ranging from their late twenties to mid thirties, I conducted my first What Women Want experiment.

How I Attained a Nasty Nickname from My Own Crush, and How You Can Avoid It
It all started back in grade 8. I was mad in love with who I thought I’d marry, cheesy. But I mean I was 13, and had zero clue on what love actually was! Anyways, I was embarrassed about my feelings towards my crush, let’s call him T, because I’m too lazy to write "my crush." "T" was that kind of guy who only exclusively liked Asian girls. He said, “I want to connect with someone just like me.” I thought it was a great idea! I mean, I’m Asian, he’s Asain, that’s perfect! Plus "T" was every girl's crush (or at least a phase.) Back to my embarrassment, I only told certain people, but I kinda told the wrong person. I was talking to a friend, and he wanted to know who I liked, me being super stupid, I told him, “Oh I like ‘T’ but I’m just doing it to prank him.”

My Mediocre Take On How Communication Is Essential To Getting What You Want
I understand and recognize that I am coming from a place of privilege, education, and good parenting, and as a result of my circumstance, I consider myself not a total idiot when it comes to communication. I also acknowledge that there are different types of communication, such as verbal and nonverbal communication along with physical communication. It is something that happens all around us, every day of our lives and sometimes you may not even know it! But it is definitely an essential part of our society and without communication, we would be even more of a mess than we already are if you can believe it or not.

Twelve
When no one listens, who do you have?? Yeah, that's what I asked myself all of the time when I was 12. A question that I eventually got tired of asking and at some point developed a "friend". You know how when you're just a kid and your imagination runs wild, and bam, imaginary friends are everywhere?? That's what I thought I had, except my friend was in my head.
