How to Treat Your Number One to Make Her Feel Like Your Number One
1. Tell her three simple phrases. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are special. Sometimes you are left to send important little messages via text. Call them little love messages. Tell her "be safe," "I love you," and "hey babe I was just thinking of you, so I thought I’d say hi" and other such messages that you believe will put a smile on the face of your (put your nickname for her here). However, don’t underestimate the importance of three simple phrases. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are special.

You're Dating Damaged Goods
I wish what is written below could be stamped to my forehead for every guy to read, so that they can run 100 miles in the opposite direction. This is for the guy I turned down coffee with last year. This is my real explanation, which you will never read or know about. This is how every boy has wound up when they become close to me, and this is not how I want things with you. I'm sorry.

Stellar
I never thought that being in the eye of the public would have been so hard. When I was younger, I thought that the hardest thing would be standing under the heat of the flashing lights all over. So captivated by the fashion and hair; the makeup and nails. I was enamored by the glowy and glittery as a kid. It wasn’t until I was cast in my first couple of movies that I found that my childish fantasy about being an actress was completely off. There was so much pressure that I had never thought about. There were so many things that I had to hide. So many things I had to broadcast and even lie about.

Relationship Struggles of a Clean Freak and a Slob
I was 18 once I moved out of my parents house, and into my own. When I lived at home, I was always in spite of my Mom who tried so desperately to teach me how to value a clean home, and how it makes her feel when she works from the moment she comes home, to almost the moment she goes to bed making sure our home was clean. But, you try telling that to my teenage self. In my mind, my room was messy-organized and if I cleaned it I would lose everything. My mom and I would fight over the stuff in my room and how I never picked up after myself. Some days, I'd come home to everything in giant garbage bags sitting the middle of my room because my Mom had enough of it. But all that changed when I moved into my space and started to understand why she got after me so much.

Lovers No More (Ch. 7)
I had to set out and do something different this year. I remember signing up with various fraternities in the hope of being a fraternity brother one day. I eventually became a part of Zeta Beta Tau. I wasn’t easy, but I made it. I became friendly, at the time, with the founding father of the chapter. His name was Joel. A few weeks after assuring me that I was indeed a part of the fraternity, we decided to go out and celebrate. Boy, did we celebrate. He invited me to a fraternity party at Rutgers one Saturday night. Ironically, I took a CK girl with me. Her name was Connie.

Signs Your Partner Is Controlling
Love is the most rewarding feeling in the world, but sometimes you find yourself in a relationship that just isn't right. Now I was in a relationship with a man for three-and-a-half years and let's just say it wasn't rainbows and sunshine, not even close. I used to always read articles about controlling relationships, only to find out that I was in one. Now, one of my biggest pet peeves was when people would tell me to "just leave," like it's easy—it's not. In fact, it's much harder. I'm going to just share my experiences with you so you can put two-and-two together. But remember, every relationship is different. If you notice any of these happening in your love life, make sure to evolute your situation to see if you need to run for the hills, or just fix your problems.

My Second Worst Date
I have learned going through my 20s that I have a little bit of a bad taste in men. That I tend to be more attracted to the bad boy type. Don’t get me wrong; there have been nice guys that have had the hots for me, in a manner of speaking. But I have this problem with blowing them off when they ask me out and instead going out with the bad ones. This is a prime example…

An Ode to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl
She was conflicted. No. She was conflict incarnate. She suffered from MPDG (Manic Pixie Dream Girl) syndrome, a diagnosis offered up by the latest asshole in her gallery of rogues. Citing her initially welcoming nature, he called bullshit on the close of their nocturnal interaction. A healthy serving of whiskey in, she resembled more raving Mr. Hyde than refined Dr. Jekyll, foaming at the mouth and raving about his inability to adapt and "just go with the flow, dude." The fucker didn’t even have the decency to prescribe a proper sedative for her. That doctor role play from the other night didn’t come with an Rx Pad after all.

Lovers No More (Ch. 4)
I finally made it to my last year of CK. I was feeling on top of the world. I wanted this to be my golden year. I worked hard to become a senior. I was now focused. I had only one goal: Go to college. I was anticipating nothing short but great things for myself. Musically, I spent my entire summer getting ready for a music conservatory. With Mr. Williams’ help, I had practiced the Hayden Trumpet Concerto until it rang in my head on a daily basis.

Worst Date Ever!
As a child, I thought that when I grew up, I would meet the man of my dreams. Fall madly in love, get married, and settle down. With the white picket fence nonsense. However, I think we all know that fairy tales do not exist or so I quickly discovered after turning 18. Now I’m 28 and still trying to find mister right. Guess it’s safe to say that my taste in men has room for improvement.

10 Myths About Dating an Asian Guy: Debunked
I should probably start this by prefacing that there are many stereotypes about Asian guys and girls as a whole that are both viable and outlandish, all at the same time. There are also loads of other articles out there about how the cultural upbringing of Asian men might make them less attractive to women in general—even Asian women. Sure, Asian men are generally stereotyped as less masculine, portrayed to show more emotions, and be a bit gentler than the men of other cultures, while Asian women are generally stereotyped to be quiet, exotic, and cute. But Asians are by far not a "weak" culture...so what's the real deal with these stereotypes?!
