There’s an old piece of advice that I come across every now and then. The phrasing sometimes differs, but it comes down to this: never let anyone know about your love life, your income or your next move.

Recently a friend of mine called me up and told me she had a problem. A big one. One of her oldest best guyfriends had admitted to having feelings for her. Girl was shook. Not because she didn’t see it coming, but because she didn’t know what to do about it. You see, there’s definitely love between the two of them.

The Definitive Answer to “Is this a date?”

September 27, 2017August 22, 2017 by Sarah

Our guest blogger Lola is back and she’s here to call everybody out on their dating bullshit.

I am a dirty-thirty-year-old and I am surrounded by people who either date, don’t date anymore, don’t know if they’re dating, deny that they’re dating or hate dating (yes, you know who you are, haters).

I don’t like to say no to people. To my friends. If someone I care about requests a favor, I will do what I can to make it happen, even if it means inconveniencing myself. And you know what? This is a horrible character trait and I need to stop.
