Best Dating Apps for Open Relationships
Having an open relationship with someone can lead to many things. If you and your partner are okay with being together, and still want to see other people, then the two of you are in an open relationship. This usually leads to a third person entering the relationship or you and your partner are both seeing other people while still fully committed to each other. In fact, people who are in a successful polyamorous relationship seek for a third party to join them. Either for sex or possibly a loving relationship.

To the Guy Who Thinks Everything Is a Joke
Dear Jokster, We have known each other for years and when we always find our way back to each other, the flame is still burning deep inside. This time everything is different. This time, I put my feelings out there, and you laugh. I used to love your laugh and your joking around, but this time, you have taken it too far. This time, well this time, I don't know what happened. Or maybe I do, and I am about to call you out on your shit. I hope that one day you find this letter and know exactly who this is for. This is for the guy who always had to laugh and joke every time I needed you to be serious with me, just for a little while.

Finding Love for an Introvert
I have always been an extremely introverted person. I could not meet anyone new unless it was through someone that I had an already established relationship with. I was sure of myself and willing to meet people, but I could never take that first step towards the relationship, even if just for friendship. I am the type that would prefer to write out everything that is wrong and leave it for someone else to find rather than just talk it out. Why, you might ask? Because I am afraid of hurting their feelings or upsetting them in any way. So how does someone who can't approach someone else in a bar go about finding love? Online dating.

10 Things I Learned When I Tried Casually Dating
To begin with, casually dating someone is completely different from being in a real relationship. In an actual relationship, you're truly loving someone, having strong feelings for him, caring for him, never want to let him down, and possibly thinking about the future with him. This is nowhere near what a casual relationship is. When you're casually dating someone, there is actually a set of rules that you're supposed to follow. Rules like you can't fall in love with your partner (probably the biggest rule), you can still date other people when in a casual relationship, it's mainly about sex, don't get into each other's lives too much, and so on. Like I said before, it's the polar opposite of a real relationship. There are even things we lie about when it comes to casual dating.

The Mostly True Account of How John Tempton Ruined My Life
I have been on this earth for eighteen years, and no one has disrupted my life more than John Peter Tempton. He might not have meant to utterly destroy me at first, but he did. The way he treated me, I don't wish upon any human being ever. I used to think John was my friend, now I wish I’d seen him as an enemy right from the beginning.

The Worst Date I've Ever Had... And the Events That Followed
I'd just turned 21 and a boy had never liked me before. I'd never known what it was like for someone to be interested in dating me. I desperately wanted to be pursued, but it just wasn't happening. I continued to struggle to attract guys; maybe I'm just clueless when it comes to love. As clueless as I was, and continue to be, for about two weeks in April 2017, a boy liked me.

How To Kick Butt on a First Date
First dates. We all know the feeling. It can be pretty nerve-wracking. Will he/she like me back? Will they think I'm cute/funny or maybe they'll think I talk too much? Do I talk too much?! These are all thoughts that go through our heads leading up to and during the first date! In this day and age where meeting people from dating apps is more and more common, it can be even more nerve-wracking meeting up with someone you haven't met in real life yet. Maybe your in-app conversations have been flowing as smoothly as self-serve froyo, but will it be the same in-person?!

Is He About to Say Those 3 Words?
Those three words can make or break any relationship. And when a man is in love, he may or may not say it. So maybe you are here to determine whether or not you should be the one to say it first, or if in fact, he already has said he loves you, except without actually saying those three little words. There are many reasons a man may not just flat out tell you that, from being hurt or just scared of being rejected. Signs he does, in fact, love you are very similar to that of he is about to say those words, but maybe he is just scared.

Broken Chapter 9
It’s amazing how the little things can prompt so many memories to come flooding back to you. Brief conversations, places, objects, songs, sometimes your mind just wants you remember. Remember things you’d forgotten pushed to the back of your mind, sensations your body had forgotten they had once revelled in. The human body mesmerises and yet confuses me, especially with someone whose mind is so complex.
