Taking Chances (Part 2)

Photo SourceAlex made a comment referring to "the OC" ;)So, as I was saying in Part 1, there is the rare case that a friendship-turned-relationship that could work out, however let's see SCENARIO B...Boy and Girl are very good friends. They get along great, they hang out with the same group of friends, and hell, sometimes they're so comfortable around each other that they end up doing things one

Taking Chances (Part 1)

Disclaimer: This post is as per a conversation I had with a couple girlfriends recently.While I am a firm believer in taking chances whenever you can in life so as to carpe diem, maybe there should be some exceptions.Have you ever had a very good friend that you only regard as a good friend, have only considered them as a good friend, and would almost repulse you to think of them any more than a

Making It Official

Photo SourceWhat constitutes as an "official" relationship, ladies and gents? I hear a lot of, "We're dating/seeing each other, but we're not official yet."I used to think it was based solely on the condition that there would the "question" popped, similar to a proposal ... and maybe it still is, you tell me.No longer are we in the era of traditional dating where the person you DO start dating

Already Complete

I share this quote with someone each and every time they feel inadequate or even feel alone because the truth is, nobody should ever feel like that.I have it saved on my PC to look at if I ever have one of those downer days. Hope this brings as much comfort to you as it does for me!Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.

The Undomestic Goddess

Yes, the title is in reference to Sophie Kinsella's The Undomestic Goddess. (Good book, recommended read!)But that's besides the point.What I'm trying to get at is, after going to university I've realized how ... undomesticated many women are, namely me. My mom used to scold me about how if I didn't step my game up in cooking and cleaning, I'd never marry ...And now is the time when I realize

High Expectations (cont.)

Stuart suggested I do a FIVE reasons why we girls and guys should be satisfied with our partner, even if they aren't as 'romantical' (hehe) as Edward Cullen from Twilight.Movies and novels are fictional for a reason. Enough said.You wouldn't want people to take pointers from movies anyways. (re: Prince Charming?)There are so many things that go on in our daily lives that some people don't have

High Expectations

There may be exceptions to this, but this entry pertains to those of considerably legitimate relationships.I am guilty of complaining because maybe sometimes I am a hopeless romantic. Every girl has her envisioned fairy tale and when some things don't go her way, well, dissatisfaction occurs and then complaining commences.Do you ever wish that he/she would whisper sweet nothings in your ear more

"Outfoxed" for MIT2412

Disclaimer: This is for my course and is in no way affiliated with any of the topics of my blog...

Fox News, more often referred to as "Faux News" when criticized for their

A Family Affair

A saying something along the lines of quotes this: 'If you marry a person, you marry the family as well."Would you agree?Anyway, I polled my readers this past week on how long they usually wait until they would introduce their significant other to their parents.10% voted when they start dating50% voted within a few months30% voted within half a year10% voted never.While there isn't one

Monthiversaries

Some people might REALLY hate me for saying this, but REALLY? MONTHIVERSARIES?I partially agree that getting through a relationship month by month is worth making note of, and for some, something to be proud of. However, there are some that completely, I think, completely out of their minds. Extravagant celebrations take place each and every month (I would give examples but that would be too mean

BOOTY CALL!

Various definitions of the colloquial term can be found at Urban Dictionary.I'm not saying ALL late night calls can automatically be categorized into a not-so-lovely idea of "dating", but for the most part, if you find a man/woman calls you late at night in such a pattern just to "hang out" or "just to see you" ... sirens should be going offLOUD.Don't make excuses for his/her behaviour because

Love/Hate Relationships

When the honeymoon phase is over (first few months give or take), you begin to discover all the little flaws the other one has, the little quirks that completely bug you.So how do you cope?You begin to realize that, those little quirks are the things that make he/she who he/she is! Without them they would be an entirely different person ... you fell in love with that particular person, the one

Break-Up Remedies

Photo SourceUsually when you're the dumper, your remedy well, you just move on or suddenly have a new priority in your life whether it be school, work, new flame, etc.The hardest part for the dumpee, however, is to fill that void, the dumper, used to fill.I was quite inspired by this once former Xanga blogger when she wrote one specific post about how to get over a guy. I will make references to

Prince Charming?

I may only be able to speak for myself on this one but do let me know what you think!I love fairy tales - I love reading about them, hearing about them, watching movies/shows come up with the most amazing love story ever ... and there are real stories that you hear about from your friends where he/she and their girlfriend/boyfriend shared this most amazing experience or moment.
