The point of dating is to find someone whose personality and goals for the future fit in with yours. We do it because eventually, we want to be someone’s girlfriend. That’s why on the surface, the phrase “girlfriend material” seems like a good thing and something we all want to be. But on a deeper…
In a perfect world, the guys we want would just automatically know how we feel about them and a relationship would begin spontaneously. Unfortunately, things don’t work like that. Sometimes you’ll have to come right out and ask him to be your boyfriend rather than waiting for him to take the hint and do the…
If you’re looking for love and hoping to find your personal Prince Charming, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment if you end up falling for a guy who’s just not into romance. That doesn’t mean things won’t work, but it does mean you’ll have to put in a little extra work if want…
If a guy won’t call you his girlfriend, then you should stop answering his texts. You’re not a sex object. That means you deserve to be treated like a human being with feelings, and like someone he feels privileged to be with. If a man refuses to make your relationship official and he won’t call…

Compared to past generations, it’s a little more acceptable (and common) these days for men and women to be “just friends” with each other.
