All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

Is It The Person or Their Abilities?
I thought I might write a little thing to help people in relationships know if they are in a good relationship or not. There are all kinds of tests you can take on the Internet but those really don’t tell you anything because they are all based on questions that you can answer with a slanted point of view. What I mean by that is we can answer those questions any way we want to depending on how delusional we actually are about our relationship and/or the person we are in a relationship with.

Good Girls, Bad Boys, and Relationship Power Dynamics. Top Story - April 2018.
I left an abusive relationship almost 10 years ago, and I’ve been through counseling, therapy, a domestic abuse recovery program, and I’m still not completely over what happened to me. The process has helped me understand what went on, learn more about myself, and to rebuild my life. Having had the chance to learn about the structure of abuse, and to examine my own feelings about myself and about relationships, I’ve figured a lot of shit out. This knowledge has given me more confidence, and with confidence I’m less inclined to tolerate other people’s crap. So instead of getting caught up in destructive thought patterns about whether or not I’m good enough, or if I should be trying to please someone else, I’ve allowed myself the space to reflect and identify patterns that I don’t want to repeat.

My Long Distance Relationship
I met my long distance boyfriend four months ago on twitter. I live in Newcastle and he lives in Swansea. We had a lot of mutual friends which was great so we knew that each of us was real and turns out we had been in the same place a few times with our mutual friends, but somehow never met.

The Coffee Date
I am sure that most, if not all, of you have been asked on a date you weren’t so sure about. And if you haven’t, consider yourself lucky. But beware; your time is coming.

30 Last Minute Date Night Ideas for Couples on a Budget
In every relationship, whether a new relationship or one that's been through the honeymoon phase before, date night is an essential part of keeping the flame alight. But sometimes it can be hard to work around that expensive dinner spot that will really impress, or that movie you wanted to watch but you know that it won't really be as special as you want it to be. Sometimes you just want to have that spontaneous, fun night out without breaking the bank!

Big Girls and Big Guys
You know what I don’t like? When people look down on a couple because their girlfriend or boyfriend is bigger than me. You know what I don’t like even more than that? They look down more on the guy for being with a bigger girl than they would if it was a smaller girl dating a bigger guy.

The Key to Love
Before we dive into this deep subject, you have to know that I'm a 19-year-old girl who didn't really date guys when she was a teenager, so I wasn't experienced at all when I started dating my present boyfriend. When I was younger, I used to hang out with mostly boys of my age, but girls, not so much. So you can consider me as a girl that has thinking patterns similar to boys. Through my high school years, my few girl friends dated guys, but I didn't. And when I tried to approach boys, they friend-zoned me because they wanted a "girly girl." But I wasn't a "girly girl." So around my fourth year of high school (16 years old), I told myself to let this go and focus on school; have good grades to get into college the next year. As I watched my girl friends make mistakes with boys, I knew what I wanted and what I would hate if I was in a relationship.

Is He Interested in You or Are You the Booty Call?
We as humans desire to have sexual relations with others. It's just in our nature. The difference is some of us want more than just a late night booty call once a week. Some of us want that connection and that chemistry before we even find someone attractive. Men, on the other hand, have been shown to have more booty call chicks than a relationship with a lady. Now I'm not knocking friends with benefits. I have a post on why that is B.S. Friends with benefits usually already have that connection, but they don't want that label because as humans we let a label define us.

Stop Taking Dating Advice
People like to be told what to do. It's a major red pill for the vast majority but taking society into consideration, it's not a stretch in the slightest. From instruction manuals to dieting programs to those aesthetically pleasing workout VHS tapes from the eighties, it's definitely safe to assume that the world is a scary place and we're all looking for a little guidance—and that isn't a bad thing, is it?

Just an Ex? Or an Old Flame?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Kourtney K and Scott Disick. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. These couples simply cannot get a clean break from one another and if one happens to be their current partner, it’s hard not to doubt if the ex is still somewhere around lurking in their minds or lives.
