We’re all told there are certain things you don’t talk about on a first date. Sex, politics, exes, marriage and kids. And granted, on a first date it may be a bit much. But especially for women, we’re actively discouraged from sharing what we really want in life with a guy out of fear of “scaring him off”. But you know what? At some point taking your time turns into wasting your time. And before you know it, you’re 6 months in with somebody who has very different ideas about what life in the upcoming few years should look like than you.
The Situationship Chronicles
The Situationship Chronicles is a weekly column about everything to do with relationships and situationships, romantic or otherwise. The stories are always based on our own lives, or of those 1 degree of separation away. Why? We want to verify. We’ll always ask around to try to get as complete a story as possible. But in the end we’re still gonna express our own views on it anyway. Do you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see featured on The Situationship Chronicles? Don’t be shy, tell us!
The One Big Dumb Thing
You know that feeling when you meet somebody new and everything just clicks? Conversation’s good, they look good, they have their shit together… but then it happens. They say the One Big Dumb Thing.
Easy New Year’s Resolutions
2020 was an absolute shitshow, but we have good hopes for the new year. However, so as not to test 2021 as much, we will be making no “Come at me 2021” posts and will keep our New Year’s resolutions as easily attainable as is humanly possible. This should also help you in not throwing all your good intentions out halfway through January along with your dying Christmas tree.

If we were to believe Hollywood tropes, we’ll all meet somebody sooner or later who makes us wonder how we ever lived life without them and we’ll ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after. But what happens when you meet somebody, fall for them, and then come to the realization that your relationship has an expiration date?
When Should You Have Your Shit Together?
Did you know there’s a deadline to when you should have your shit together? Now that I’m 30 for some reason people seem to have expected me to magically turn into a full blown adult. Apparently I passed some invisible border into adulthood and didn’t meet the requirements yet.
Enough With the Judgment Already
Sometime last week I was with a group of friends and we walked past a new apartment building with really big windows. One of them commented on how it’s a matter of time before someone forgets to properly close the drapes and we’ll be face to face with some people who are mid-smash. And while, yes, that’s true, it got me thinking on how we should really just let each other live.
Preparing for 30
I’m getting a bit personal on this one. I’m about to turn 30 and figured I’d take some life-altering lessons and gather them here rather than in a little notebook. So here’s a little list of lessons, events and other important stuff that I’ve learned and gathered in these three decades. Most of them in the last one.
The Playbook: Rules of the DM Game
Cuffing season has come to an official close, and that means that hunting season is upon us. Some of you may have been a little late to the DM game, and some of you never learned how to play it properly. Being the Samaritan I am, I figured I’d give you a few pointers in this edition of The Playbook.
Why Do People Lie?
Lying has always been fascinating to me. I’ve never really been a fan, which could also be due to the fact that I have a natural inability to lie. Even when I want to, my facial expression apparently tells it all. But I never really understood the urge to lie that some people seem to have. Cause enough for a blogpost, wouldn’t you say?
