The Fire Sparked: Part 1
Five years later and I never thought I would be where I am or with whom I am. It all started back in November 2012; one night I was out with friends and I met Him. Now, just like every relationship it is never a fairy tale. Even if it was like a Disney love story there is still always sadness. Now, as we all know, the start of a relationship is always so fun and exciting. The adventure we all look for and with all of the dreams to come with it. But does it ever truly happen?

Love When You Least Expect It
They say when you stop looking love seems to find its way towards you. This is a statement I have struggled with for as long as I've been interested in romance. From the early stages of adolescence I romanticized love to the extent where I felt I could love like no one else in the world. Unfortunately I never had the chance to experience anything so glorious until later on in life. I used to be extremely shy and still happen to be. I always felt strange in my own skin and whenever I was able to become romantically linked with someone they just never felt quite right. I felt as if I had to walk on eggshells to stop myself from cracking the relationship. From being abused to feeling strange, it all felt so wrong. After a while the relationships seemed to start proving to me that maybe I wasn't meant for love. Maybe I was meant to die alone. This in itself definitely served a purpose. In convincing myself that I was destined to die suffering and alone I pushed myself into music to an extreme.

Feeling Alone Together
When you first meet, there is no warning. You had hoped to find a man that was smart, successful, and focused on the future. And there he is. He works hard and gets what he wants. He has big plans for the future, and is gracious enough to invite you along. At first, this will seem exciting, until life doesn't go this way and you become an obstacle. There are some signs your "man in charge" is just entitled, and what may be causing it.

Meeting People Organically vs. Virtually
While growing up, I've always felt like I've always "just missed" something great in love, and that my generation would forever be doomed in the romantic gesture love department. For example, when I was in middle school I would watch movies like The Notebook, and admire how Noah took the time to handwrite letters of longing to Allie; at that time, the closest thing that I ever got to handwritten letters were Myspace messages and T9 texts, and let's face it, those weren't really wrapped up in heartfelt claims.

Tales From a Survivor of the 'Friend Zone'
The dreaded f-word... 'Friend zone'. Many males appear to living in this state of having feelings for a friend, yet never vocalizing these sentiments, so they never become anything more. I've seen many memes and pictures of men doing nice things for women and it being labeled as a description of the 'friend zone'. I'm not sure how I feel about the 'friend zone' since technically I lived in the 'friend zone' for about 2 years. WHAT?! A woman living in the friend zone? How can this be? Didn't only guys live in the 'friend zone'?

What I Learned from Them
We've had relationships and some were great while they last and others were not so great. Some we love to remember while others we regret and wished they'd be push to the back of our mine. Though each relationship was different, there is one thing in common that they all had: they taught us something.

Worst Flirting Moves Men Make (And What Works Better)
If there's one thing that every girl (or girl-looking person) has experienced, it's the cringe, embarrassment, and discomfort that happens when someone tries to put the moves on you — and fails miserably. At times, it can be funny, but usually, it's somewhat scary.
