If you’re an obsessive fan of Sex and the City, like me, you’ll probably remember the scene where Carrie goes off to therapy after her friends talk her into it. Remember when her therapist tells her maybe her choice in men is the biggest (excuse the pun) problem she faces when dating?
“I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.”
He was a real gentleman and told me adamantly that he wanted to get to know me rather than take me home that night, so he'd text me in the morning. It's been three days now and I've heard nothing yet.
Apparently there are 16 things "all guys" should know about their girlfriends, and the way to find most of the answers is by snooping. Uhh...really?
Let’s be honest here. Looks aren’t everything and certainly shouldn’t be, but they play a huge part in dating – especially online dating, where much of the importance is placed on the perfect profile picture.
Whether you're hitting the bars or going the online dating route, meeting the right guy and building a relationship can be a very, very difficult task.

before I leave, I wanted to share with you one final list of what I’ve seen lead to happy relationships and happier people. May some of the pieces guide you toward joy as they have for me. Happy love and dating!
I always imagined that when I met my future husband, we would meet completely organically. Picture some meet-cute in a RomCom where we bump into each other and just know and the rest is history.
There's no time like the present to get a little crazy and see if shower sex is your new favorite pastime.
Nothing says I love you quite like a crass comment about "your holes" and "cum."
Instead of anxiously hanging around campus, hoping to meet a cute guy, try some of these tactics that’ll make meeting him seem a little less hopeless.
It’s over. Time to move on and move on forever. You had your shot, you took it, and it didn’t work out for one reason or many. Blame timing. Blame the fact that he/she had the emotional awareness of Honey Boo Boo. Blame whatever you want. Time passes. But people can change, though.
