In public relations we’re often made to feel we each have to be doing certain things in a specific order to be successful. For me this included being told I should intern around throughout college instead of staying with one agency. Coming out of college, there was a lot of negative connotations and thoughts surroundingContinue reading “12 Weeks: Why Interning Is A Good Thing”

Who Pays When Gays Go on a Date?
I was at birthday party over the weekend when it came up, if you’re gay, who pays for the date? First dates: I believe whoever initiated the first date should pay.

Adventures in Online Dating: Tinder Honesty
Being a gay guy living in a city like Tallahassee, dating was a struggle. My enthusiastic personality, ambition and not being picky per se but looking for certain qualities was stifling and off putting to some guys. “Nice” and “sweet” were words used to describe me, but where were “sexy,” “charming” and all those otherContinue reading “Adventures in Online Dating: Tinder Honesty”
Alone in a New City
It’s not per say being alone in a new city that makes you feel alone. It’s the feeling you left a life behind that was yours. I spend a lot of time outside of work catching up with friends on their latest happenings, updating friends and answering the question, how is Atlanta? For the firstContinue reading “Alone in a New City”
Who We Are. How We Feel. How We React.
In elementary school we displayed so much of who we are, how we feel and how we react in different situation.

We only meet some people once inContinue reading “Too Tired, Too Sleepy Or Hungover”
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” – 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.
