To some, dating isn't all that hard. There are the few who have met that special person early in life who they have been with for years and eventually married. There are the few who were in a committed relationship, painted the town red for a bit, and met the love of their life shortly after. Then their is you, where eventually you have grown to HATE all of these people because you're the complete opposite. You feel as if you have the worst luck and have found yourself struggling to meet anyone who wants to even be in a relationship.  I think Snooki said it best when she said and I quote  “Guys … don’t know how to deal with women and I feel that’s why the  lesbian   rate  is going up in this country.”   as troublesome as this New Jersey native can be sometimes, she has a valid point.  Many Men and Women don't know how to "deal" with each other. Is it because he's a jerk? It is because she's too much? The answer is ...

One of the best things about this generation is able to complete everyday tasks at the push of a button. Transfer money, send email, and even file our tax returns. However technology has also made us so fortunate that it’s caused us to be lazy. Once again I’m here to clarify that breaking is up is one of the most uncomfortable situations to be in. However as uncomfortable and awkward as it may be it should still never is handled in the easiest way possible. What Seems Simple can Actually be More Complicated Breaking up with someone via text may seem like the best solution. You can avoid the weird conversation, you don't have to see them cry and can avoid a couple swings to face. However, there are only a few cases where you can actually get away with this. If you're a guy and dumped a girl via text message, have you ever found yourself ignoring calls and text messages of them frantic asking "why are you doing this?", "I hate you"...

To many, a relationship is about sharing. Sharing personal information that one else knows, sharing your time and energy, sharing your ideas thoughts, and also sharing your dreams. If you've noticed that lately your significant other has been spending a lot of time stressing what's not happening rather then what is happening right this minute you could find yourself to be in a sticky situation if you aren’t already. I decided to write this blog because after reading articles of women in this situation and after being is it myself I wanted to explore why this happens in a relationship. Things are going pretty well between you too and all of a sudden they want to take a break or just be friends because they need to get their life together. In a recent article posted by www.guyspeak.com, one subscriber asked why her boyfriend broke up with her because he feels he needed to focus on a career and school. To the average person that seems like a plausible reason to brea...

The Holidays can either be a happy time or a stressful time. The good news is, you no longer have to find yourself spending way too much during the holidays or settling for gift cards this year. My step by step guide will help you learn how to budget yourself when shopping for your loved ones. Step # 1 Set a Budget Besides you're employer, you and only you know how much you make a month so set a reasonable budget of how much (total) you would like to spend this year. Step #2 Make a list (& Check it Twice) How will you know what you need to buy, if you don't know who you're buying gifts for? If you're anything like me, and you love to give gifts, most likely you'll want to add as many people as possible to your shopping list, but if you're not making a high enough income you might want to scale down who is more important to you.

Better known for his debut hit "Keep Your Head Up" which has been shown on programs such as VH1's Pop Up Video and featured in TV spots for the movie Dolphin Tale, Andy has already won the hearts of many music lovers addicted to the feeling they get when an upbeat, catchy song just speaks to them in every way possible.  To evaluate the equation of  Andy Grammer's style of music, I would have to say it's the easy going vibe of Jason Mraz mixed with the sexy, soulful sound of Maroon 5 topped with a heavy dash of the Hip Hop/R&B flavor of Maxwell. After five seconds of hearing his music, you're automatically brought back to a simpler time when music wasn't auto tuned, but produced with depth and meaning to each and every lyric. Already inspired to pursue his music career, Andy moved from New York to Los Angeles at the age of 20. After a few years of small gigs, low income and street performances on the 3rd stree...

So, you just joined a dating site, and while browsing, you discover your ex is looking for love as well. Before these sites we only had to worry about running into our ex with their new lover, now we face the drama of seeing them go on a quest for their next "victim". Because dating websites like Plenty of Fish, Zoosk, and Match.com are becoming so popular the odds of running into an ex or two is becoming more likely. The question is, how do you deal? Scenario #1 Your Ex of 3 Years Encouter This person has the most history with you and still holds a place in your heart.

After a moment or two of browsing, you run into the last person you want to see on dating site. Although he has just as much of a right as you do to have an account it's still unsettling to virtuall...

Okay so anyone would be psychic if everything that could potentially be a clue lite up at the scene of the crime. But that doesn't mean you can't posses psychic like powers. Basically you have to learn to be more observant when guy hunting. Head Shoulders Knees and Toes Basically you have a short amount of time to get a good look at this person without appearing to be creepy. In order to do this you have to hit the 5 focal points.  Focal point # 1 Appearance: Is his style put together or just plain sloppy? Keep in mind that even if it isn't the best doesn't mean they are a bum they could have just came from the gym which says they care about their physical health. Focal Point # 2 His ring finger. Try to get a glance at his left hand for a ring that will tell you then and there if he is single. If no ring still check to see if he is fidgeting with where a wedding band should be.

I don't know about you, but for me fall seems more like the time of resolutions rather than when they are normally made in January. I feel this is the perfect season to "start over" and just enough time to be ready for what's in store. Since the holidays are coming up such as, Thanksgiving,Christmas and every single girl's favorite Valentines Day, one can use this time to clear out the bad Karma or negative energy that has been causing situations to fail. While gathering research for a new blog, I came across one that was about feng shui. Basically they used the same idea, but applied it to one's love life. Have you ever noticed how refreshed and open minded you feel once you've finally cleared out your closet or picked up everything off your floor? You can get the same feeling when it comes to clearing out the "clutter" in your love life. Forget-Me-Nots Are you still hoarding old keep sakes from past relationships? Ticket stubs?...
