I promised you guys I’d do the research for you on how soon is too soon to hop into bed with someone. Generally speaking, there’s two schools of thought on the subject.
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!
Mr. Right vs Mr. Right Now
Hang on to your hats, kids. We’re going into a topic that might be uncomfortable for some of you. You see, some of us choose to spend our time with Mr. Right Now rather than Mr. Right (or Ms of course. Whatever floats your boat). Sometimes that’s OK. And sometimes it’s not.
‘Love’ is a Verb
One of my good friends is in a new-ish relationship. It’s adorable. They’re adorable. And now, of course, she’s being bombarded with the question all women who have been in a relationship for a few months get: “has he said IT yet?”
About #MeToo: my $0.02
I didn’t want to write about this initially. Why? Because the time has finally come for women to feel encouraged and share their stories and experiences dealing with sexual offence, intimidation, violence. And I don’t wanna take up any of that space with whatever I have to say on the subject. But a lot of men in my vicinity were shocked by the sheer number of women tweeting and otherwise spreading #MeToo all over social media. Since women know all about this sad reality, I’m aiming this particular blogpost at my male readers. Is this going to make you uncomfortable? Probably. But you know what? Deal with it.
Trust No One: Keep it to ya damn self
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. I’ve never been a very secretive person, but I have gotten more careful about who I tell … Read more
The Characters in Every Friend Group
Friend groups are diverse. They kinda have to be to keep it all balanced. There are a few characters that most groups have in some form or another, though.
The World’s Worst Pieces of Advice
We’re bombarded with internet advices all day, every day. Everybody’s got a piece of advice for you to follow that’ll help you land your dream job, fall truly madly deeply and reciprocally in love and find general happiness. Great, isn’t it? But for every good piece of advice, there are 25 – 100 pieces of bad ones. I asked around and collected a few of my favorites for ya.
Love Ain’t Everything
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. But love isn’t enough to build a longterm relationship. Contrary to popular belief, love does not, in fact, conquer all.
Palate Cleanser
The concept of a palate cleanser is (hopefully) familiar to you all. It’s a small bite of something that neutralizes the taste of whatever you just had, to prepare you for the next dish. Like having a little piece of ginger in between sushi courses. What if I told you such a thing exists in the dating universe too?
When Being Broken is A Good Thing
I went to a friend’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. He’s one of my oldest friends and the ceremony was beautiful and it was so great to see some people I haven’t seen in years. BUT this is not what this article is going to be about. It was a church ceremony and the pastor said something that kinda resonated with me, and I want to share it with you.
