All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Going off to College with a Boyfriend
Going to your freshman year of college single seems to be the new norm. I always hear people telling high school girls to never go to college with a boyfriend. It's odd for a girl to be committed because she is supposed to have one night stands and try new things. She can't do that with a boyfriend around, right? If she does, then she'll just end up being unfaithful. Well, wrong! Going to college in a relationship is not as weird as people make it seem. It leaves those who do have boyfriends feeling isolated. I'm here to put an end to the doubting and the isolation.

Exes, Oh's, and Everything In-Between
There are three kinds of guys every girl has fallen for in her lifetime. If you're anything like me and jumped into the dating world way too young than what was good for you (despite your parents' best efforts), you've likely encountered, fallen for, got your heart broken by, held onto for way too long, or eventually married one of these guys. You’ve got the exes, you’ve realized the oh’s, and you’re basically a pro on identifying and explaining the in-between. So humor and reminisce with me, laugh, tell me I'm crazy, or just totally agree with me because I know they've each walked up to your front door at one point or another.

Dear, Whoever Will Listen
A letter to anyone who will listen. I'm always very shocked when I find out somebody likes me. I just recently found out that someone that I have known for YEARS has had a crush on me... well, pretty much this whole time. The last time I saw this person was when I went with his family (who, by the way, are very good friends of mine, it’s also how we met) to meet him and a few of his friends at a ski lodge. His dad sent us down to the van to get something, and we sat and talked for a little while, then he invited me to kiss him.

Choose Wisely
 J.R. and I continued getting to know one another. I told him I had two kids and was currently in a relationship that was seven years old. I explained I was pretty happy with my relationship, but was looking for someone to talk to because I was lonely.

Love Is Patient
Often times, as women, we find ourselves in very compromising situations. Situations where we end up choosing between our own happiness vs someone else’s. We end up sacrificing our own wants and needs to please others. Before we even notice what we’re doing to ourselves, we have already sacrificed so much that we don’t recognize who we have become.

Dating: Casual or for Marriage?
Imagine living in the home of your dreams. It’s 9 AM, you’ve just opened your eyes, and you roll over in bed to grab your phone from the bedside table. Only a few new emails and social media updates. You put the phone back. And you turn back over.

Boys and Me
My "adventure" with boys really kicked off in seventh grade. I'm a high school senior now, so that was five years ago. In seventh grade, I was bullied by a boy that wanted to date me. But I didn't want to date him. Back then, I wasn't scared to say no to a boy. I didn't realize that doing so would make boys so much scarier to me. I was never scared of the various men in my life because they never gave me any reason to be scared of them. This was the first time I had ever been scared of a male figure. The bullying was all mental. I was scared of the boys who bullied me because they bullied me in a way that made me hate myself. Growing up I loved being me, so the bullying caused a whole bunch of conflicting feelings. I started questioning myself every single day. I became self-conscious about every part of me. My brain was fighting against me.
