These people reveal why they kept their real identity under wraps Catfishing. Maybe you’ve been a victim of this cruel online game. Or maybe you’ve been the person hiding behind your computer screen and trapping an innocent and hopeless lover. Whatever the case may be, pretending to be someone you aren’t in reality is actually […]
If you’re S.O. is one of these, it might be a red flag! Did you know that your partner’s age could indicate how likely they are to cheat on you? What about their height? It might sound crazy, but the studies are in, and seemingly arbitrary markers have been suggested to correlate to a guy’s […]
As a single female, I’m all too familiar with the dating scene and the post-traumatic stress often endured after a night out at the bar. “We met online,” is the new “we met at a bar,” and there’s a reason for that: far too many evenings are spent swatting away deadbeats and touchy-feely drunk dudes.

I hate both giving and receiving dating advice, mostly because it isn’t a one-size-fits-all endeavor. But when a younger lady, wet behind the ears on the dating scene, comes to me and asks questions, I feel obligated to share my hard-learned relationship truthisms. Even if they’re harsh.

It’s a special night of fun, friends, shenanigans, and sometimes… A wedding is such a special event in a person’s life. You can spend weeks or even months planning the wedding that will only last for a few hours, but it will create memories that will last a lifetime. There’s something about weddings that people […]
Today is Nick and my 10-year anniversary. TEN YEARS. A decade. One-twentieth of a lifetime if we both live to be 200, which we plan to. I’m not usually super sentimental about anniversaries, if only because I’m like a doofy sitcom husband when it comes to remembering exact dates, but I couldn’t help but get […]
Plot twist! If you’re not familiar with what a furry is, it means that you’ve probably been staying on the lighter side of the Internet. Although being a furry means different things for different people, it generally centers around a fascination with animals to the point of identifying with them. It often involves dressing up […]
