  Open Relationships: Is This the Key to a Long Lasting Partnership? I’ve never been in an open relationship or marriage. However, I’m starting to think that there are more couples who are. Many couples are challenging the perception of a traditional relationship in order to keep that spark. Last week, news circulated that actress [...]

Same-Sex Marriage: Equality for All This week has been a huge week for same-sex marriage.

Are You a Clingy Partner?

One sunny afternoon, I was walking my beloved Sebastian along the lake. Sebastian is a funny little guy; sometimes he likes his leash and sometimes he doesn’t. So this particular day, I put Sebastian’s leash on at the lake front. He tugged and pulled at the leash while I held on to the other end [...]

Becoming a Lesbian as a Last Resort Yesterday, I read a very interesting article that caught my attention. The author wrote about women becoming lesbians as a last resort.

going back to an ex

When a break up occurs people often consider giving it another chance. As I stated previously, break ups suck big time. But sometimes going back to an ex can be even worse. An ex is an example of what you don’t need in your life. Generally the second or third time around isn’t any better. [...]

Comfortable: I’ve Been Single Too Long I came to the conclusion this weekend that I’ve been single too long. So much so, until I think I would have a hard time adjusting to being in a relationship.

Are You Falling in Love?

So someone asked me how do you know you’re in love? Sometimes I think this is the strangest question ever. Because I had the misconception that people knew when they’re in love with someone. But apparently some don’t or they simply don’t understand the feelings they’re experiencing. It remains one of the constant search phrases [...]

Months ago, I remember reading a full list of dating pet peeves that alienate both men and women. Nothing is worst than going on a date with an annoying person. Some people make up an excuse to leave (yeah, I’ve done that), and others just stick it out (yeah, I’ve done that too). That’s one [...]

Greek Love Myths: Are You In Love?

Hey Loves, I’m pulling one from the archives today, I wrote this almost 2 years ago and probably 2 people read it. I put a lot of effort into studying the different types of love based on Greek love myths. I was totally oblivious that these actually existed so I remixed this post and hopefully [...]
