So, I met this guy in the lobby of a swanky, downtown hotel. He was the first guy I had met in a long time that I actually liked. He was super into me and the feeling was mutual. Our first phone convo lasted 52 minutes—which for me is record-breaking since I prefer texting these […]
For centuries, monogamous marriage (or a marriage that is presumed to be monogamous) has been the romantic ideal. However, the sexual revolution and the feminist movements of the 20th century have worked together to redefine what a relationship can or should be.

You know what they say about meeting the One: “it happens when you least expect it.” Now, when people invoke that particular cliché we all usually picture bumping into our soulmate in a store at Christmastime or jumping out of cab while they’re trying to get into one on New Years Eve.
