Respect: Part of the Glue that Binds

Monday, April 28th, 2008

There are many elements to a healthy relationship that continuously binds two people together. One is respect. Respect isn’t something that should be wavering, but given and received at all times.
Even an argument can be handled with respect. If someone calls you stupid or an idiot, they are belittling you. This doesn’t fit a “healthy” […]

Getting Over “The One”

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Breakups are hard, especially when you didn’t see it coming. You thought everything was going perfect and that he or she was “the one”. Sure, maybe you’ve had a few hardships here and there (who doesn’t have them?) but you never expected those four words: “We need to talk,” followed by those […]

Dating a Significant Other With A Mental Illness

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I recently dated a male who has significant mental illnesses. However, he is in denial and refuses to get the treatment in which he needs. He has not been on any medication for at least 9 months and continues to self-medicate himself with alcohol on nearly an everyday basis.

Lying About Age

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Especially as we get older, some people are tempted to lie about their age, maybe as an attempt to appear more attractive in the dating world. That conjures up the question…”if you didn’t know how old you are, how old would you be”? How do others perceive you and just how old do you feel?

Are You Dating a “What” or a “Who”?

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Men! Ya gotta love them. Of course, I get a bit confused about what they really want. Listening to my male friends makes it all the more confusing.
One is in his early fifties and any female older than 40 is too old for him.  Put a twenty year old in front of him with tattoos […]

Stupid Is as Stupid Does

Monday, April 21st, 2008

The problem is nothing is real […]
