In psychology, maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive.
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 Point of No Return
We’ve repeatedly discussed the fundamental importance of having the three tingles (or connections, if you want to sound more like a grownup) when you start out dating someone. You’re gonna wanna find somebody who you’re compatible with spiritually, intellectually and physically, right? Right.
But we’re millennials and this is not the Notebook. Three tingles does not a romantic love make.
The Cookie Commandments
We talked about the things all guys should know when it comes to bedroom shenanigans. But ladies, we’re not off the hook here.
Therefore we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of Cookie Commandments that apply to each participant during a session of grownup playtime.
Things I really need you to stop saying
Ever heard how every generation complains about the generation that came after them? Like they had nothing to do with the upbringing of said generation? Yeah, so being from late ’80s myself I’m technically a millennial, and there are a couple of things I *really* don’t wanna hear anymore. So here it is: a collection of things I need you to stop saying.
Someone’s Potential =/= Reality
OK, so here’s the thing. We’ve discussed why so many women seem to go for the bad guys rather than the nice, decent ones. Sometimes we fall for the wrong guy for other reasons though. I’ve seen it happen a lot. It has happened to me. Sometimes, you fall for a guy’s potential rather than seeing who they really are.
The Definitive Answer to “Is this a date?”
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). So, I find myself wondering when did such a simple and fun thing turn into something complicated and vague?
Toxic relationships: where do you draw the line?
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.
