dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Fifty Shades of Nope
I was set up by a friend of mine to go on this blind date with this guy she knew through work. At first, I thought, gee, I must be desperate. But then after I thought about it, it would be nice to go out and have a guy treat me to a nice dinner. It had been a while since I went on a date and what could it hurt? I wasn’t looking for true love.

The Date From Hell
Ashlyn Harper had no idea she was about to embark on the worst date of her life. Considering her dating history, which was quite short as it was, that was saying something. She'd let her friend arrange a blind date, and that made her a little nervous. But really, what else did she have to do with her Valentine's day?

The Ex Files
So I had this friend, the key word being HAD, that hooked up with my ex-boyfriend and then lied to me. What a shitty thing to do, right?! The sad part is, girls apparently do this to their “friends” a lot. Is it worth it? Has this happened to you? Are you the friend that hooked up with your best-friend's ex? If so, continue reading as I’m going to share my experience with you:

A Friendly Set Up
"Hey! I know this is totally last minute...." This was a typical phone call from my friend, Dan* (names changed to protect the not-so-innocent). He was the kind of person who lived by the seat of his pants, charmed everyone into being his accomplices, and loved to stay up late contemplating life over a drink or two. Therefore, this phone call was no different.

My Beautiful Disaster
I’m 23 years old and thought I’d have my life back together. If only I hadn’t ruined my car, I would be OK right now. Joel, my ex, actually had my car in great running condition and then I think two weeks later, I totaled it. I wanted my god damn VW Cabrio so much that I used Joel to get it by having him co-sign. Well I told myself I could be with him for another 4 years to get the Cabrio paid off and totally in my name but I didn't even last a year. I didn't even last a month. By the end of October 2006, it was completely over.

The Worst Date
When I was little, I was never naive enough to believe the Disney, rose-colored idea of love; girl meets boy, boy slays dragon for girl, and they sing and dance into the sunset. I grew even further from this idea when I was in high school and realized how much I like girls too. Maybe I would be the one that ended up slaying the dragon. However, I always appreciated the fact the relationships were always healthy, compatible, and loyal. Those were the expectations I always had going into relationships in my adolescence. Eventually, these expectations were worn down. False hopes, broken hearts, cheating, lying, abuse and more followed the love life of a girl too young to know how to deal with it healthily. Two months after my 17th birthday, my heart was broken almost irreparably by a boy who promised me the world and stars in his hand for a year and a half, but instead blew dirt in my face. This was due to the fact he had fallen in love with another girl, the girl he also threw aside once the excitement had faded.

Love Is What You Say
I was just reading something today that stated that love is what you say, not what you do. I had a thought, on top of not believing that phrase at all. People say, “I love you” like it’s a chore. A ring or a last name is the only reason you say it. But what do you DO to show it? Some people have a hard time figuring out how to show it. But it’s not complicated at all.
