Unless you’re still dating your high school sweetheart, the dude you’re dating has a romantic history that doesn’t involve you. And even if he is your high school sweetheart, there could be some history there too. Middle school can get pretty steamy, if I remember correctly! (I have a boatload of spin the bottle stories.) Anyway, the question here is what should you do if your ex’s romantic past feels like it’s haunting you. And I have the answer.

Boston: a city filled with hometown pride, established by education and culture, and crawling with men. After succumbing to gypsy soul for several years, and moving being able to call California, Connecticut, and Texas home, I can honestly say Boston is my favorite place of residence. While this city is probably the most difficult to navigate, I would have to say the dating scene is one in the same. I’m staring 26 right in the face, and while my friends are getting engaged or married, I am still trying to find a “plus one” to the most important and memorable days of their lives.

Is it just us? Or is there a new trend plaguing the guys of Nashville where they are just as self conscious, if not MORE SO, than girls when it comes to weight and body image? Stereotypically it’s the girl who orders no dressing on a salad, and says, “trying to watch my carbs” or, “I shouldn’t” when offered sweets.

And did I mention the stress? Oh yes, the stress.

Tinder: The latest dating phenomenon. It’s the app that’s literally like thumbing through the pages of a magazine, marking the pictures you like, flipping past the ones what you don’t. Surprised by how many attractive guys that actually reside in Atlanta, I was thumbing (or better yet, swiping) through Tinder, enjoying all the glossy pics of guys from cover to cover.

Let me guess. You’ve met a great guy who has it all going on. A good job, great biceps, a smile that makes you melt. And just when it seems like everything’s going perfectly, he invites you to come with his group of buddies to watch a game. After an afternoon of uncountable dude burps, horrendous sex conquest stories and feeling like there’s not enough vodka in the whole while world to make the day tolerable, nothing about your relationship feels quite as perfect. Don’t worry, girl. This is common! Meeting a guy’s friends can be more revealing than meeting his parents. (After all, he didn’t pick his parents, but he did pick his friends.) And what it reveals might not be all that pretty. But, the question is…should it change your future with this guy? Well, here are five things you can do when you hate your boyfriend’s friends to help you decide what to do about your relationship.
