dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Project Soulmate...NOT
In a world of dating apps and cat fishing, I have grown to understand that dating and finding that “perfect match” is now just a click away—NOT. It’s a complete SH*T SHOW. I am sure I will tell you those dating stories later, but until then, I found myself trying to go along with the conformity of looking for the perfect “man” while swiping through endless pictures of “human looking thingies” that supposedly had great jobs and educational backgrounds (kidding again). Half of them had missing teeth, mommy issues, or weird fetishes (NO! You cannot lick my nostrils!!). Anyway, I was getting nowhere. It was difficult to find someone who can string along three sentences without using an immense amount of “LOL” after every other word (GREAT CONVO).

Daring to Be Human
I think that a lot of us are scared of facing emotions. Emotions make us vulnerable. Vulnerability opens up the possibility to us getting hurt. No one wants to get hurt. But, I think that this fear is making into emotionless robots by taking away the very things that make us human. We are so afraid of opening up and getting hurt that we shut down every possibility to open up and experience something wonderful.

Top Five Holiday Activities for Couples
1. Build a Gingerbread House Split a cheap bottle of wine, and let the building begin. Until this year, I hadn’t built a gingerbread house for many years. I didn’t realize how vividly my boyfriend saw himself as a candy architect. We were able to work together to build our fructose fantasy and laugh when it all fell apart. I purchased my kit from the local grocery store for under $11.

An Overactive Mind: Relationship Kryptonite
When a well educated professional who respects the women and men around him tries to form relationships, he limits himself to being analogous with the stereotypical “good guy.” When he puts himself out there, its often really out there and it’s quiet off-putting. Now combine that with the mentality that everything that a man says must represent some sort of societal masculine power fetish, and you’ve basically got the set up to an entire generation of men who suffer from anxiety and poor self image.

Why the Magical Woman With the Deepest Love Is All Alone...
Why is that magical woman with the deepest love always overlooked and all alone? She doesn’t have time to play games with your mind and heart. She will be straightforward concerning her desires. She will be expressive and communicative about the connection you share and the feelings she feels. Her lover must be restless with the confines of game playing. Her lover must be open.

Soul Mate
Ten years ago I found my soul mate. He was beautiful in every way imaginable. He was my best friend, my confidante, my lightning in a thunderstorm, my angel wings. He was the easiest person in the world to talk to and to tell everything to. I felt as if I needed to tell him absolutely everything that I could about myself. He always understood. He always embraced it all as if it was his own but never let it make him feel angry.

The Story of a Stupid Girl (Part Two)
"What would you like to watch?" Brody asks me. "Uhhh...." I think aloud. We're both sitting Indian-style on his bed in his small, two bedroom house. He hands me the Xbox remote, and I start scrolling through Netflix. "Well," I say as I slowly scroll. "I like horror movies." Which is true, and I thought it would be a perfect almost-new-boyfriend ice breaker. This way, if I got scared, his instinct would be to hold me. If he got scared, my instinct would be to laugh and say "BYEE!!!" Just kidding!

Stop Going on Dates
I think that we often look at people who have successful and steady relationships for guidance. Sure they have some merit, but at this day and age, I think it is mostly sheer luck. Let me tell you why I think I have a leg to stand on. Relationships fail with me more often than not and not to get all esoteric, but if nothing else, I’m supposed to share what my thoughts on it.

To Rent or To Own
I’ve learned a lot over the past few years, you can’t just let people run in and out of your life. That’s letting them continuously take from you with nothing in return. Now as females when it comes to relationships, we are very guilty. We let men come into our lives, asking what can we bring to a broken table. So, here’s a scenario my granddad told me that I want you to think about; and the big question is, “Are you to RENT or to own?”

Untrue Love (Part Two)
I had left off with Mark, my ex-fiance and high school sweetheart. The story was rather morbid, possibly leading you, the reader, to believe that our relationship was all bad. It really wasn't. He had some redeeming qualities and we had a lot of good times. So before I dive into the Part Two and start telling you about Blake, I want to share some positive qualities about Mark.
