Do you find most your dates end up going nowhere? Do find yourself sitting home alone on Saturday nights while most your friends are snuggling with their partners in front of a movie?

Everything from a drunken reaction to friends getting kicked out of a party to cheating allegations to Solange showing the couple some dance moves. (Pretty sure that last one is a joke.)

It’s a really, really great gig! That being said, I’m also a relationship expert and I know that relationships aren’t always smooth sailing. Scratch that.
