Enter the half-joke, half-serious concept of “silver springing” someone. It’s the idea that you and all the love you bring with you are unforgettable — like a ghost that will eternally haunt them.
Mental health also looks different for everyone. Sometimes, your struggle could come off as being dismissive or moody to outsiders who aren’t aware of your situation. Being as open as you’re comfortable will only allow your relationships, romantic and not, to prosper.
In your hometown, you can’t even go to the grocery store without running into someone who knows your mom. But on spring break? You’re just another face in the crowd of frat bros, beach bums and vacationers who will never cross your path again. What happens on the beach stays on the beach — or so they tell themselves.
I’m kidding, but it's important to remember why we sometimes make generalizations as a society. Not all bees will sting you, but still we’re scared of bees. We don’t say, “only some bees will sting you” because that’s a given — it’s redundant. In that same way, no one really means all men are trash. Not all men are the same as Mr. Big.
The truth is, you can be dating the nicest and sweetest guy in the world, but that doesn’t mean he’s the one for you. If love was the only thing needed to maintain a relationship, no one would ever break up.
Let me tell you a secret: no matter how sexually confident someone comes across — and no matter how many people they’ve kissed or hooked up with — deep down, most of us are all experiencing one major feeling — doubt.
Having a class crush is far more interesting but even more challenging in college than in high school. My roommates used to joke that the first day of class was always a big game of smash or pass.
No one really thinks of turning to LinkedIn, and I can’t really blame them — it’s academic-facing, and has always come across as being “strictly business.” Yet, the more I toiled with the idea of LinkedIn being a one-stop shop for all things romance, I couldn’t help but wonder: could this be the revolutionary answer to modern dating troubles?
Valentine's Day is the Superbowl of holidays for serious relationships. Whether it’s been one year or five — it’s your time to shine. Not everything can be wrapped up with a bow, but some things can. If you’re in the market for tangible gifts, listen up.
Well, Beyoncé said it best — if you like it, then you should probably put a ring on it. You know, just in case somebody else does.
“Single Ladies” perhaps takes a bit too literal of an approach to the message here, but you get the idea: don’t take for granted what’s right in front of your face. And when it comes to relationships, sometimes the solution to that thing is a ring — a promise ring, to be exact.
