Should You Carry His “Baggage?”

Man carried his baggage
Here’s something to consider. When you describe your perfect partner, how often do you include baggage in your list of desires? How many times do you look for emotional issues in your ideal man? The chances are you NEVER deliberately look for men with baggage, because baggage comes with its own set of problems. So what if you met a guy who was perfect in every other way, except for the fact he was carrying around something from his past that still affected him today? Read more

What we can learn from James Franco’s dating fiasco

There’s a right and wrong way to go about using dating sites and social media to find love – or sex. Or a combination of both. Let’s face it – Sometimes it’s whichever comes first. I don’t judge. Actor James Franco recently demonstrated the wrong way. In fact he also demonstrated what a clueless, desperate idiot he is. After meeting a female fan outside the Broadway theater where he’s starring in “Of Mice and Men,” Franco posed for a photo with said fan. Read more

First Kiss: The Dating Experiment. Is chemistry enough?

Has anyone out there not seen the First Kiss video?  A US clothing brand got 20 people together and filmed them kissing for the first time in front of a camera.

When to pursue and when to be pursued?

Woman enjoys being pursued by man
I have so much to say about this I don’t even know where to begin.  First off, as a woman, of course we prefer to be pursued. We are feminine and lady like and we want our prince charming to come find us, fight for us and win us over.  Just like in the fairy tales. This is all well and good, but when it comes down to it, our relationships don’t always pan out to be that fairy tale that we dreamt of. Read more

Girls, Use Caution: Passive Aggressive Boys Ahead

Woman uses caution with men approaching
I am a firm believer that if a guy really wants a girl, he chases her; he wears his feelings on his sleeve and courts her with compliments and sweet nothings until she’s his! Now in the eyes of most girls, that’s an ideal man! But this isn’t really the case these days, especially when I go out and I look around me, I see a lot of ‘soft’ passive-aggressive guys playing hard to get, not approaching girls, but rather, waiting to be approached. Could this generation of guys possibly consist of a majority of softies and game-playing lazy boys? Could be. Let’s analyze it! Read more
