The fact that there is such a thing as a participation trophy floors me. I’m fine with not winning as long as I had fun and tried my best. Second place just isn’t so bad — with one exception. I refuse to come in second in love because I deserve the grand prize. In other…
At first, I didn’t really enjoy being single. It was a grind — an endless parade of debaucherous nights with guys who ghosted, benched, and zombied me with no potential boyfriends in sight. All I’ve ever wanted is a solid, decent relationship, and recently, I finally found one. The problem is that now I kinda…
When you’re dating or just getting to know someone new, it’s natural to overthink things. You don’t know where you stand or what the other person is thinking. You don’t want to make a fool of yourself by getting too invested when they’re not on the same page. And if they go AWOL for a…
Why is it that women are raised to believe that we need to play ridiculous games to keep a guy interested? After all, it’s complete BS, and all it does is make us look dramatic, immature, and petty. In fact, it makes us just as bad as many of them are, albeit in different ways. While…

There’s no doubt that dating would be a million times easier if we could read minds, but since you can’t, all you can do is make an educated guess as to why he hasn’t asked you out yet. Short of taking the bull by the horns and asking him out yourself, there are few things…
Relationships are a struggle when you kinda hate being in them. It’s not that you’re against love or aren’t smitten with the guy you’re seeing, it’s just that the relationship title ends up feeling more like a burden than a joy most of the time. If you love your partner but kinda hate being in…
As its name suggests, a “no labels” relationship means that you and the person you’re dating aren’t calling each other girlfriend, boyfriend, partner, or anything else.
