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

#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 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.

Relationship Advice From My Uber Driver
I know this is going to come as a shock to many of you, but dating as a millennial is next to impossible. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea,” they say. Except what “they” don’t know is that the sea is actually full of fuck boys running from commitment, or good guys who have already found the one they are ready to settle down with. And if you happen to stumble upon a guy you think you might want to get to know, sooner or later you find out they are one or all of the following: too clingy, emotionally unavailable (and let me tell you, I’ve had my fair share, so I know the sea is full of them), too immature for a relationship right now, or he needs to find himself and is leaving to go travel for five months. So, after we eliminate all of those guys, what's left?

My Worst Date
I’m so glad that I finally get to tell my #MyWorstDate story. I’m now 71 years of age, but when I was a teenager around 18 years of age I left the country town where my family lived and moved to the "Big City" —Perth, the place most teenagers in Western Australia dreamed of spending their teenage years. I loved everything about Perth—its lights, the nightclubs, the music, my work—everything! I changed jobs quite a lot, simply because back in the 60s we could move around and get well-paying jobs whenever and wherever we wanted. At the time my secretarial skills were very good, so my girlfriends and I had a great social life.

5 Rules for a Happy Relationship
We all want to know the secret to a happy relationship, but the truth is, there is no “secret.” There’s no cheat sheet to a happy relationship, and hard work is always going to be on the agenda, no matter what.

The Day We Fell Again
April 14th, 2015 We were ten days from our one year anniversary. My mind had been shuffling between each negative thought regarding him. Days before, I had asked for some space. I guess he got stir-crazy and decided to show up at my house. I will never forget the feeling of my heart when my nephew runs into the backyard, "HE'S HERE!" My face said it all.

My Worst Date Story: In the Lair of the She-Wolf
Aren't they all the same? Some dumb boy meets a beautiful, yet innocent girl and the world then spirals off into absurdity and oblivion. Like the beginning of a really bad horror flick: you know shit's gonna hit the fan faster than a NASCAR pile up, but you keep going, striding up each rickety landing in the hopes that salvation will be there to greet you by its zenith.

Between New Year's and Valentine's
Relatives asking you, hiding behind a glass of eggnog, when you will find someone or going to a bar on New Year's Eve with friends, hoping to find a stranger before the last 30 seconds of the year. So you made it through the holidays single and want to change your status? Well, its time to make some resolutions before you can do that.

Our Long and Winding Road
Nine months ago, everything was going perfectly. I was actually living in one of the greatest times of my life. I was happier, more confident, and more sure of my future than I ever had been before. Then he came along.

10 Inconvenient Questions a Monogamous Person Has for Polygamous Couples
Years ago, I chanced upon an open-for-all event online, where the group would meet and, under the facilitation of the organizer, discuss and share their views and experiences on a chosen topic. For that particular session, the topic was, “Is marriage the ultimate goal of a relationship?” That was something I had been asking my friends about, so seeing it as a sign (yeah, I’m your typical girl), I naturally signed up for it.

My Worst Date
Alcohol, vomit, and urine: mix it thoroughly to make my worst date. I had never dated; I finished high school in a relationship; we were together five years after that. So I have zero experience dating in the real world. My best friend Shelby knew this and assumed she could help me. Work had introduced an abundance of men and she elected to play matchmaker.

Reality of Tinder
So if you’re a Millenial, I am sure you are familiar with Tinder. Heck even Gen X is on board! So are there happiness and love stories that come from Tinder like you see on Match.com commercials? Well, from personal experience and those that I know, Tinder seems to be a hooking up app, very similar to POF (Plenty of Fish). Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, ooooo swipe right, swipe left, swipe left, ooooo swipe right, IT’S A MATCH!!! That oh-so amazing feeling when you have matched with a hot guy, and he thinks you’re hot too! So do you message him first? Or do you wait for him to message you? If you wait too long, will he think you aren’t interested and “Unmatch” you? Oh, the struggles and emotions that we women come across and feel when simply swiping on our phones!
