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

When He Dated Someone with Anxiety
Nelson was the most popular guy in his highschool. Even though it was a big town, he was still known all over. He got to skip class, go to all the parties on Friday and Saturday nights, and have all his friends glorify his persona. He even thought about running for prom king since it’s his senior year. Forget it, he was the biggest extrovert anyone can possibly think of. Nelson was a pretty good looking guy, but it’s been a while since he was able to be in a steady relationship. It wasn’t really an interest of his since he got catfished a few months ago from a girl that lives in Ohio rather than in his city, Westfield. All he was doing was going with the flow.

Marco
Then, to my surprise, I met Marco. I was going for lunch every day at the canteen from the University of Amsterdam, and so was he. He had been smiling at me and me at him. We just couldn’t ignore each other anymore. We were aware of each other’s existence. How can you ignore a friendly stranger?

Super Toxic
You know those stories of crazy relationships you hear about in the news? Well, I lived one. I was with my ex Ray for 6 and a half years before we broke up. We had a rocky relationship it was up and down if I ever saw one. I was the stupid one. I was so love struck and couldn’t get out of that mindset.

Shine
So I was just there, standing with my bike near the entrance of a building, not knowing what to do next, when I saw this blond guy coming out of an elevator, with a bike, and my very first impression was that I knew him, but I couldn’t remember where from.

Retribution Chapter 6
Augustin was of a rather changeable temperament. The smallest misfortune could put him in the worst sort of mood but any bit of luck could send his spirits in the other direction just as extremely.

Body Language That Says He Likes You
For the most part, girls tend to have a good handle on whether or not a guy likes them. Usually, they can tell whether or not a man has a crush because he'll ask them out, buy them drinks, or just plain act a fool. But, once in a while, guys will get shy.

Should You Tell Your BFF that Her Boyfriend is a Douche?
Should you tell your best friend that her boyfriend is really an assh@le? No one likes him but she doesn't know that. She thinks her boyfriend is great even though he is aggressive, controlling and abusive!

Ways to Be a More Supportive Partner
Many people, when they feel they have done wrong to their lover, try to figure out ways to be a more supportive partner. Maybe they hurt their lover. Maybe they love a person something awful but fear that the relationship is tumbling between their outstretched fingers like so many grains of sand. Or maybe, they just weren't there enough or started showing all the signs that you need to rethink the relationship.

I Want You to Love Me
Once upon a time, there was a girl. This girl was pretty shy and she knew exactly what she wanted in life. What she didn’t know was that she would have a little something weird for a guy she never tought she’d like. He was funny, smart, sassy but on top of all that he was in his thirties and the girl was in her twenties.

Love from Minnesota
I get asked a lot about, “How to deal with a relationship.” First off... just like any other relationship. There are disagreements. It's not always easy. There are the up and downs of it all around. It's about loving and giving yourself to each other, but also knowing you can be apart and that it can all end at any moment.

Internet Dating Makes James Van Der Beek Cry
Before this seems like I’m going off on some rant about internet dating and how shit it is—I’m not. I’ve done it quite a bit for the last few years—mixed results mostly (partially because I never know what the fuck I want exactly)—and I have met some nice people. I’ve also met some complete loons as well… but I guess at least I have stories.

Confessions of an Overgrown Creep
I have a confession. When I was 13 -- I was SUPER creepy. That's not an exaggeration. If the parents of my crushes had gotten restraining orders against me, I wouldn't have been at all surprised. I might have saved them the trouble and turned myself into the authorities for stalking and general weirdness, throwing myself on the mercy of the court. I had a super-sized, mega-crush on a particular guy. He was beautiful. Honey-skinned, chiseled cheekbones, dark curly hair, a deep-throated, husky voice that belied his age. It was love.
