myTakes: Dating

1. Impatience and self entitlement If you date is rude to waiter, or is constantly impatient waiting for his food and is simply a jerk... then that is a clear sign. 2. No interest in you If you feel like you are...

For the purposes of this article, when I refer to "cheating" I am not referring to anything physical (such as sex or kissing), but emotional cheating. AKA - conversations, going out for coffee, dates etc. 1. I wasn't...

My best friend and I have been friends for over 8 years. She started dating Jeff when we had just started college. Jeff was pretty sexy, I have to admit. He was flirty and funny, and really knew how to get what he wants....

I'm not dumb enough to say I'm swearing off guys entirely. I'm sure I'll want to be with someone again at some point in my life. But for now, let's just say I'm sick and tired of the whole thing. I see a lot of myTakes on...

Hey everyone. I'm gonna tell you a story. There's this guy and in all honesty, he's all I want in a guy. He is funny, smart, artistically talented (especially when it comes to music), and he has great character despite...

My bf's good male friend and I were talking the other day. He is actually a handsome guy, with a good job, and overall seems like a down to earth guy. The weird question he gets asked every time is, "why are you with your...

1. Don't be an open book Before you open up your heart and become vulnerable, make sure that you know the person very well. Being an open book early on will always leave you in a place which can potentially damage you....

1. Someone will always find out Your partner may not know that day, week or even that month...but eventually someone out there will find out. Whether it gets to your partner or not, is another story. But it is stressful...

1. Cheat sooner rather than later I would rather have someone cheat on me early on in the relationship than 5 years into a marriage, where children are involved. Allow the person to do as they please and it will show you...

1. Physical and emotional abuse It is never okay for your partner to physically hurt you. I read in a bunch of articles that throwing things, or even slamming doors is considered physical abuse. Emotional abuse isn't...

1. A picture-perfect relationship doesn't exist. A lot of girls (and guys for that matter) want a picture-perfect fairy-tale relationship. They have this ideal guy or girl and imagine life to be amazing and perfect. I...

If the feeling is right... have sex on the first date! HERE IS WHY: 1. You'll know if there is physical chemistry Sure everyone is nervous their first time with someone new, but it is quite easy to tell whether your...

1. He dates/flirts with other women in front of you If he doesn't care that you're right there and he plays the "I don't care, and maybe she will get jealous" game, then he will treat you like that even if you manage to...

1. You deserve to feel special If you want something, and you're wasting your energy on waiting around or trying to reason with your "man" why he should commit to you, you certainly are not giving yourself the self worth...

In my first year of college I was like a kid in a candy store! All these intelligent, witty, funny, sexy men... how could I resist? My third class of the day was my favorite. I sat behind Nick...he was so HOT. The way he...

1. GET OUT! If you're spending half your time complaining about how no one ever loves, likes you, thinks you're attractive, and on and on, and yet you haven't left the house on a Saturday night in three months, how the...

1. The brainiac I dated this one guy who was extremely smart. He graduated top of his class and got accepted into Harvard. The problem I had with dating him was that he concentrated too much on his studies and paid no...

We were talking for four months every single freaking day; from our interests to how our day went, to our hobbies, favorite colors, beliefs about life, and the Simpsons. We had so many things in common it was scary, and...

First things first, I have never actually dated anyone but I know, from being around guy friends who are a deal smaller than me I would find it awkward dating anyone their height. Before you all lash out its not because I...

All of these come from personal experience from having been cheated on in a 6 year relationship. These signs are not 100% signs that he is cheating- but were indicators in my case. 1. He is always working late these days,...
