DATING: A WOMAN’S PERSPECTIVE

I can’t be the only woman who feels like dating in this era is absolute wildness. From the men who don’t know what they want to the boys who think they do. Dating in your 20s feels a lot like being a competitor in the 400m dash — passing no good men up until you reach the finish line (with the man of your dreams). A stretch in comparison? Maybe, but hey dating is tough and I’ve been going at it with intent for almost 4 months and I’m TIRED y’all.

WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN RELATIONSHIP GOALS ANYMORE

relationship goals

If you asked me a month ago about what couples were relationship goals, whew. I’d have listed off too many. Though these days I’m singing a totally different tune when it comes to relationships. They’re just never what they seem to be y’all. I think I’ve always known that, but I became more sure of that recently. There are so many things left to the imagination.

It stands to reason then, why it can be so irritating when the significant others in our lives don’t value or understand something we hold so close. In light of that, keep reading as I explore a few things: Why women value intimacy so much (for my male readers), What intimacy means to us females (for my babes), and how knowledge of both can create magic in your current or next relationship.  Continue Reading

IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO BE FRIENDS WITH AN EX?

friends with an ex

When you go through a breakup, it feels like the worst thing that could ever happen. You fight with the idea of really being okay with that person no longer being a part of your life. It’s an all out uphill battle as you picture your life without them and the ways you’ll have to fight to get over them. Sometimes I wonder if because of that we’re so open to the idea of friendships with our exes. I ponder if that’s the reason many of us think it’s possible to be friends with an ex. Continue Reading
