All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

Types of Profile Pictures You'll See on Every Dating App
If you've ever tried online dating, then you must have immediately noticed that there are profile pictures you'll see on every dating app. And it's not even uncool photos that you're seeing on repeat; it's all of them! A lot of people just have the same ideas about what it means to put your best foot forward. In fact, as you scroll through the pictures below you might start to think you're on a dating profile rather than reading an article. Don't fight it if you become smitten; be open to love.

My Long Distance Relationship
I met my long distance boyfriend four months ago on twitter. I live in Newcastle and he lives in Swansea. We had a lot of mutual friends which was great so we knew that each of us was real and turns out we had been in the same place a few times with our mutual friends, but somehow never met.

The Coffee Date
I am sure that most, if not all, of you have been asked on a date you weren’t so sure about. And if you haven’t, consider yourself lucky. But beware; your time is coming.

30 Last Minute Date Night Ideas for Couples on a Budget
In every relationship, whether a new relationship or one that's been through the honeymoon phase before, date night is an essential part of keeping the flame alight. But sometimes it can be hard to work around that expensive dinner spot that will really impress, or that movie you wanted to watch but you know that it won't really be as special as you want it to be. Sometimes you just want to have that spontaneous, fun night out without breaking the bank!

Big Girls and Big Guys
You know what I don’t like? When people look down on a couple because their girlfriend or boyfriend is bigger than me. You know what I don’t like even more than that? They look down more on the guy for being with a bigger girl than they would if it was a smaller girl dating a bigger guy.

The Key to Love
Before we dive into this deep subject, you have to know that I'm a 19-year-old girl who didn't really date guys when she was a teenager, so I wasn't experienced at all when I started dating my present boyfriend. When I was younger, I used to hang out with mostly boys of my age, but girls, not so much. So you can consider me as a girl that has thinking patterns similar to boys. Through my high school years, my few girl friends dated guys, but I didn't. And when I tried to approach boys, they friend-zoned me because they wanted a "girly girl." But I wasn't a "girly girl." So around my fourth year of high school (16 years old), I told myself to let this go and focus on school; have good grades to get into college the next year. As I watched my girl friends make mistakes with boys, I knew what I wanted and what I would hate if I was in a relationship.

Is He Interested in You or Are You the Booty Call?
We as humans desire to have sexual relations with others. It's just in our nature. The difference is some of us want more than just a late night booty call once a week. Some of us want that connection and that chemistry before we even find someone attractive. Men, on the other hand, have been shown to have more booty call chicks than a relationship with a lady. Now I'm not knocking friends with benefits. I have a post on why that is B.S. Friends with benefits usually already have that connection, but they don't want that label because as humans we let a label define us.

Stop Taking Dating Advice
People like to be told what to do. It's a major red pill for the vast majority but taking society into consideration, it's not a stretch in the slightest. From instruction manuals to dieting programs to those aesthetically pleasing workout VHS tapes from the eighties, it's definitely safe to assume that the world is a scary place and we're all looking for a little guidance—and that isn't a bad thing, is it?

Just an Ex? Or an Old Flame?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Kourtney K and Scott Disick. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. These couples simply cannot get a clean break from one another and if one happens to be their current partner, it’s hard not to doubt if the ex is still somewhere around lurking in their minds or lives.

Best Dating Apps for Open Relationships
Having an open relationship with someone can lead to many things. If you and your partner are okay with being together, and still want to see other people, then the two of you are in an open relationship. This usually leads to a third person entering the relationship or you and your partner are both seeing other people while still fully committed to each other. In fact, people who are in a successful polyamorous relationship seek for a third party to join them. Either for sex or possibly a loving relationship.

To the Guy Who Thinks Everything Is a Joke
Dear Jokster, We have known each other for years and when we always find our way back to each other, the flame is still burning deep inside. This time everything is different. This time, I put my feelings out there, and you laugh. I used to love your laugh and your joking around, but this time, you have taken it too far. This time, well this time, I don't know what happened. Or maybe I do, and I am about to call you out on your shit. I hope that one day you find this letter and know exactly who this is for. This is for the guy who always had to laugh and joke every time I needed you to be serious with me, just for a little while.

Finding Love for an Introvert
I have always been an extremely introverted person. I could not meet anyone new unless it was through someone that I had an already established relationship with. I was sure of myself and willing to meet people, but I could never take that first step towards the relationship, even if just for friendship. I am the type that would prefer to write out everything that is wrong and leave it for someone else to find rather than just talk it out. Why, you might ask? Because I am afraid of hurting their feelings or upsetting them in any way. So how does someone who can't approach someone else in a bar go about finding love? Online dating.
