Having the much dreaded “Are you taking down your profile?” conversation with a guy you’re dating is a delicate undertaking indeed. While an amazing connection between two people who meet online can happen on a first date, it’s safe to assume that it generally takes people a minimum of one month to decide they want […]

People who are in relationships seem to be more interested in their single friends’ dating lives than their own. With their “interest” in your love life also comes the most annoying and predictable comments, such as “You’re a total catch; I don’t understand why you’re still single.” And that, of course, leaves you thinking, “Well, […]

A guy is not going to make time for you to meet mom if he’s not thinking about something serious. When a man takes care to introduce you to his family and friends, he’s not only proud to show you off to the people who matter the most to him, but he clearly hopes they’ll love you as much as he does.

Hey Friend, So, summer is nearly over.
