Valentine’s Day is the holiday equivalent of “dun-dun-dun” music when it comes to newbie relationships. It’s the big reveal of how your dude feels about you, which is super high stress.

I was recently at a friend’s summer BBQ and I met a new woman. We chit chatted for awhile and then I asked if she was the girlfriend of the man she walked in with. Her answer was, “Yes? I think so?

That big step up is basically how all relationships start. Here’s how to make the leap if you’ve been in a “just dating” plateau for a while. Read more

One of my best friends always reads the posts on my sites... because she is the world’s best best friend... and she recently pointed out a content blind spot I never noticed.
