While some people focus on building serious relationships, others choose casual dating and life without commitment. Both choices are absolutely normal and acceptable. As long as you and your date are happy, you don’t need to change a thing. However, it’s important to understand that real love needs commitment. Once you realize you are dating […]
A healthy marriage is something that everyone expects to have from the moment of the proposal and past the “Big Wedding Day”. However, there are some misunderstandings about what makes a healthy marriage. Often, people will mimic what they have seen growing up, whether it’s mirroring their parents’ marriage or what they watched on television […]
Some women shy away from divorced guys, but I’m grateful my new boyfriend is divorced—or at least, on the way there (he is at the end of the process, in the final stages of paperwork). This is not a situation where someone says they’re getting divorced but is really just having an affair. They’ve been […]
My lady friend asked me if I thought it was “absurd” to want to be monogamous with someone and I immediately told her that I did not think it was absurd. It’s absurd to want to be monogamous with a rhinoceros or a pineapple. Especially pineapples, because they are the sluttiest fruit. But I do […]

Here’s how I thought being engaged would make me feel: OLD. Here’s how being engaged really makes me feel: like I’m in on the funniest inside joke ever. Two of the most opposite people on the planet, at least on the surface, are in it for the long haul. Who would have thunk it? I’m […]
When two people first start dating, they put on their best sides. They reveal only snippets of information to each other, leaving the full story for when the person really gets to know them. Basically, we wait until we have them tangled in our web of niceties to crush them with the sad truth that […]
So I’ve been a friend of this good guy for over 10 years. We’ve always had sexual tension, but I never really gave a thought to it nor did I think we were going to act on it. On a total random drunken night, we had sex. So we decided to go on a date, […]
I’ve been dating a guy for seven months. He’s in the middle of an easy divorce (no kids, no assets). I’m going through a divorce too (I have kids). We were head over heels for each other in the first few months. He had no issues with me having kids. He would always ask to […]
