Compromised

As another year passes by I see how conversations about dating with friends don’t only revolve around the intricacies of asking someone out or the friend zone. It also revolves around the delicateness of hooking up and friends with benefits. Asking someone out, the friend zone and friends with benefits all have their own struggles,Continue reading “Compromised”

Flirty Friday: “I Promise It Won’t Be Awkward”

I visited with the ladies of Skirt PR this morning when Lauren Berg Donovan, the agency vice president, talked about networking. In PR it’s important to foster relationships, but it can be rough starting out. One of her comments reminded me of dating: It’s a lot of, “Hey, do you want to want to grabContinue reading “Flirty Friday: “I Promise It Won’t Be Awkward””

Too Cute for You

Tonight I thought about the last few years of dating and my professional life. At many points along the way we get the feeling of “I can’t” when going for whatever or whomever we want. We keep seeing this great-looking stranger, and we tell ourselves, I can’t approach them. We see a fantastic opportunity andContinue reading “Too Cute for You”

Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook

Wake-Up Call Wednesday! We never like someone more romantically by friending them on Facebook. We start making assumptions and perceiving them in a different way than organically getting to know them. I embrace holding off from friending them until we’ve reached solid ground. We may never be on solid ground, but at least they aren’tContinue reading “Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook”

Be. More. Invested.

On the brink of graduation and truly for the last year I’ve noticed a lack of investment in people when it comes to our platonic relationships and potential romances. I’m not naïve or lacking the idea that all types of relationships are two-way. Too often people want you to meet them three-quarters down the road.Continue reading “Be. More. Invested.”

Flirty Friday 12/27/13

“Flirty Friday” – Friday dating and relationship inspiration as you head into the weekend.  Say goodbye, because crushes are fleeting, and a crush is defined as an intense but short-lived infatuation. Say goodbye, because you’re surrendering. And surrendering is not your head down to the earth, but head and arms raised to the skies ofContinue reading “Flirty Friday 12/27/13”

Three Years! My Coming Out Anniversary

This month I’ve reached my three year anniversary of being out of the closet as gay and three years feels like a truly special place personally. For the past few months the thought often toyed around my mind of how I’ve never talked to my maternal grandmother about being gay, even though I’ve had conversations withContinue reading “Three Years! My Coming Out Anniversary”

Being 20-something via Thought Catalog

“If a brochure did exist, it would probably tell us this: You will make mistakes and do stupid things for as long as you live. What matters is how we use these to make us better people. At the same time, we’re young enough how to right those things that we did wrong—and to decideContinue reading “Being 20-something via Thought Catalog”
