As Tamara noted, you need to be strong and able to stand by yourself before you enter a relationship. Agree – but only partially.

Dating 2011: Is being single silly?

Tamara Rajakariar | 01 May 2011

For some reason, all the single chicks in movies are the losers or pitied, unless of course they are those independent women who are hot enough to have casual sexual partners every weekend. Are these really the ideas we want young girls to live by - that single is weird unless you’re having regular sex? Not to mention the fact that this reduces entire relationships to only their physical component...

Dating 2011: ABG Maturity

Elyse Burns | 28 April 2011

This stands for ‘Austen, Bronte, and Gaskell Maturity.’ These three writers have done more for true women’s liberation than any less elegant feminist of today. The principle of my theory is simple- in the novels of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Elizabeth Gaskell, their heroines possess a quality some women in today’s world just don’t have.

Dating 2011: You can pick your friends, but…

Elyse Burns | 21 April 2011

I don’t know who said that, but it is one of the truest statements I have ever heard. You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family. With most of our friends, there’s a point in the relationship where one or both people decide that they would like to have a deeper connection with the other.

Dating 2011: The Twilight Myth

Katie Hinderer | 12 April 2011

‘The Twilight Myth' which is being mistakenly accepted by so many teenagers and young adults, goes like this: You and your boyfriend have enough willpower to sleep together nightly and nothing will happen.

Dating 2011: Are you dating or seeing?

Katie Hinderer | 09 April 2011

It might seem like semantics dating, seeing, whatever. But there is a crucial difference between the two terms.

Dating in 2011

Katie Hinderer | 08 April 2011

The dating scene today is difficult to navigate and not for the faint of heart.

Where are the mature young men at?

Katie Hinderer | 14 March 2011

For awhile I’ve been wondering what happened to the mature young adult males, the hard-working yuppies who have left behind the glory days of college to take on a more grown-up position in life. They seem to be few and far between. If you listen in on the average girl talk, most of the female yuppies out there bemoan the fact that men don’t seem to be man enough anymore.

Endless outfits with limited clothing

Katie Hinderer | 30 December 2010

The key to a great wardrobe, for both guys and girls, is the ability to mix and match the various items in order to create new looks with the same pieces.

Katie Hinderer | 25 September 2010

While the lifestyle is exactly what so many of us love… no stuffy suits, no long board meetings to decide the type of copier we need to purchase… the perception of freelance is so very misunderstood.
