Unpopular opinion: I don’t want my boyfriend to put me first (Maybe second though). The other day a girl reached out to me over DM and asked for some relationship advice. She told me that her and her boyfriend were taking a break because he needed to focus on school. He felt like he was less of a man because…

SEARCHING FOR UNICORNS
I am beyond surprised by the depth of emotion expressed by guys who have recently DM’ed me about a girl. One guy wanted to know if the girl he was talking to seemed interested, so he sent me a screenshot of their conversation (“wtf do these mixed signals even mean?!”). Another asked me how he should resolve an argument with…

HOW TO CRUSH A FIRST DATE
A friend of mine texted me the other day freaking out because he asked a girl out on a date. He wasn’t sure what they should do and his fear was that he’d find her trying to dip out the bathroom window like the movies. While this is one of the risks of a first date, I do have some…

TEASE
I have a very open family, so when my mom and I talked for a half an hour about past sexual experiences at dinner yesterday, it wasn’t all that out of the ordinary. Call me old fashioned, but I’m not typically someone who will kiss on a first date, let alone have sex with someone. My mom always raised me…

EMBRACING ME
I’ve always hated those people who become carbon copies of their significant other. Who lose their personal identity to become what they think the other person wants them to be. Yet, when I told my boyfriend that he needed to teach me everything about sports, something I don’t have any background in and am not sure I care all that…

TRUST AGAIN
I’m in Portland, staying with my very recent boyfriend. Still very fresh in the honeymoon phase, I can’t get enough of him. My limbs are drawn to his, tracing my fingers along the veins that run from fingertips to forearm while we speed down the winding highway or our feet doing a dance under the kitchen table while we hang…

i am. not expecting it
it’s cuffing season, & i know a lot of people out there are looking for a boo to snuggle up with to watch christmas movies & drink hot chocolate. well, for those people in need, i may have some bad news; it’s typically easier to find a bf/gf that sticks if you’re not looking. sure, i’ve been in and out…

i am. sassy
let me just tell you. i am a pain in the butt to date. i can be slightly (ok, maybe more than slightly) confusing & sassy when i get comfortable with someone. like, when i say “i hate you,” it really means “i love you.” when i say “you suck,” it means “i appreciate you.” & when i say “frick…

i am. still friends
someone reached out to me over dm asking for some relationship advice. she recently broke up with her boyfriend and felt as if she lost a best friend along with it. i think that anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship can relate to this. i know i sure can. for some reason, i’ve been lucky enough to…

i am. swiping right
okay,… i don’t have a personal tinder & don’t plan on making one (so if you see my picture, it’s not actually me haha), but i am intrigued by it. since i have talked to a million people about it, and seen some horror stories, i thought i’d write a blog on do’s and don’t’s. i did feel that giving…
