When I’m in the very beginning stages of dating someone, I’m nervous. And sometimes it’s cute, fun nerves that come from young love. But, often the nerves stem from not being certain where the relationship stands and worrying about if he’s going to hurt my feelings. I know, not my typical schmoopy boopy take on love, but these feelings are just as true for me as my enthusiasm for love.

Unless you’ve had your head under a rock, you know that there’s a lot of facts being disputed in the news these days. (And if you have been under a rock, please send me the address of that rock.

Who would want to get involved in that scenario? Read more
One of my best girlfriends started dating a guy who’s crazy about sports. Like full on obsessed. He actually has two TVs set up in his living room so he can watch two games at once. It’s intense.
