Boiling the Frog
It’s the summer holidays and as my day job is related to education, that is when I take a lot of my time off. My partner and I have just come back from a week and a half in Spain and then we just spent the long weekend in Amsterdam. It was really great for Jose and me to spend that time with each other and really calibrate ourselves, and by that I mean each self and then the third "self" that is us. I mean, we didn’t sit around contemplating our navels and trying to communicate telepathically or anything quite like that (although we got pretty close in Amsterdam when we tried mushrooms, that was until Jose came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his head with our toothbrushes as horns). We were our natural, unfiltered, and unaffected selves and it was nice to go back to point zero.

Nothing is quite as bad as being fooled into thinking that you are someone's "Special One," only to have that dream ripped from your hands the moment they decide that they found someone more compatible.

I have been married four times, five times if you count the fact that I married the same man twice. Not that these facts make me an expert, but they have given me some good insight as to the wrong reasons to marry someone.

Everyone, or almost everyone, tends to want a special someone in their lives. They want to know that they're not alone, that they can have someone to come home to, and that they can occasionally get laid by said person. Love is a human need, and it's been backed up by science for decades.

There's something really, really wrong about modern dating. At least, that's the general consensus you'll hear if you ask women. Most women are getting increasingly leery about dating and relationships, primarily because the men they're encountering don't treat women as people.
Mackenzie Z. KennedyPublished 7 years ago in HumansSurefire Signs He's With You for the Wrong Reasons
In my years in the dating scene, I have been in a lot of relationships that didn't really make sense. A lot of the men treated me well — then would disappear once they had gotten whatever it was they wanted. At times, I wasn't much better; I used to date guys just so that I would have a boyfriend.
Ossiana M. TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in HumansWho's Not Your Baby?
Who's your daddy? Straight guys have been using this line to pick up females for quite some time, to varying degrees of success. It always struck me as incestuous and gross. Like why would anyone want to think about their father's during sexy times? Of course, I'm also the one who has a strict schedule for how often a new bf can see me, but that's for a different article or column if I can ever land one. Columns are as elusive for me as boyfriends are. Getting off track here. Who's your daddy? It boggles my mind that people think that this line is sexy. I don't get it. Am I alone in thinking that this is a pickup line that needs to go the way of "Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" Seriously, who thought necrophilia was sexy? Maybe there are some things that I am just not supposed to understand. By now, you must be trying to figure out why I am writing about this topic today. As always, a personal experience made me think about it.

I cannot really recall how I met this guy, but all I know is that we were in the same Faculty at the time. He seemed like he’d never hurt a fly being that he was young and had not been in a lot of relationships.

As a rule of thumb, it’s important that you’ve been together at least six months and that you’re both comfortable talking about each other’s parents. If he seems hesitant about the idea, or you’re unnerved by the thought, then wait longer until you’re both at ease.
