Memorial Day has come and gone, which means summer has started in the eyes of everyone who owns white denim. Technically, we have a little bit longer until the official start of summer, though. So, you have time to make your summer dating resolutions, single girls. (Yes, summer resolutions are a thing! They're just like New Year's resolutions, but for the summertime. Get it?) Here are my suggestions for what you should resolve to do.

Have you ever heard the expression "Doing well by doing good?" It's a phrase that's attributed to Benjamin Franklin and means that a company or person can succeed by doing the right things, not just for their personal gain, but for the community.

Not all fitness classes are ideal for couples though, so instead of inviting your crush to an advanced Crossfit class, consider these more date-friendly options instead. Read more

I try to stay very open-minded when it comes to what men plan for first dates. I mean, the poor guys are under a lot of pressure. They have to do the planning, the prep and the paying. And it’s especially tough to plan something creative when you barely know the other person, which is normally the case on a first date.
