Suppose you meet a lovely foreigner at your university or work. Or you are on holiday and meet that gorgeous crush. What are your chances for a date or even a relationship? #BATTLEROYALE #teamZombiebabe 1. The language...

"Don’t text or call them back for at least 4 hours after they’ve reached out to you unless you want to come off as desperate." All of the convoluted texting/calling rules for after a date are ridiculous. If you had a good...

I'm sure we've all heard about someone talking about someone else or perhaps you've said it yourself, that this or that person is, "out of my league," or you've been told, you have no chance with him or her because they...

Campfire Dates Campfire dates are great, because what's more romantic than cuddling up around a bonfire? Get cozy alone with your partner, or bring along the crew for a more lively night! Bring a blanket to cuddle in and...

I decided to get back into the dating world and I met this guy on POF- seven weeks age. He was kind, he made me laugh and treated me with respect but I refused to go on a second date with him. Why? You may ask. It was...

Out of all the guys who have asked me out, these stuck out the most. They are different guys but I think several of them can overlap with reason number two. I am so glad to have the boyfriend I have now. I met him in an...

I decided to share some thoughts I’ve had about some of the guys I’ve recently talked to. A lot of them have had very clingy tendencies- I tend to date older which may play a factor in that. They could be in a rush to...

1. They make you feel safe A lot of money not only brings financial security, it can also buy safety and protection! 2. They have big... They have big bank accounts. They have big chunks of money waiting in the bank. 3....

Here’s a story of a time I led a guy on. If you’re reading this, J …Sorry. This guy and I shared a class together and for almost half the year we never acknowledged each other’s existence. It wasn’t until one day I moved...

#BATTLEROYALE People on this site just LOVE to argue about who should pay for dates -- especially first dates. I've gotta say, the sheer level of raw passion surrounding this subject is entertaining to see. In any case,...

Captain of #TeamRJ, reporting in! Ready to rumble in G@G’s #BATTLEROYALE! Get ready everybody, it’s already getting messy. Keep an eye out for me on your mytakes fellow competitors, because your girl is going to be...

You Focus More On Who Should Pay For The First Date, Instead Of Focusing On The Actual Date! Maybe a man should pay on the first date or maybe he shouldn't, who knows? All I know is dates are about getting to know each...

This article is purely based on my personal experience/opinion and those of close female friends of mine. It is not intended to offend anyone. You Won't Pay For The Girl On The First Date! If you can't invest on the first...

I speak from experience, and this is definitely not meant to offend any of our fellow men or women! Growing up in a city with 1 million people- mostly white collar, I had some interesting friends. I remember speaking with...

I just came out of a crazy 2 year relationship. The craziest part? How I didn't see it coming! The biased advice, the strong criticism, the eye rolls and the whispers- YES, those were the best friends that ruined my...

Be honest with yourself and your date. Breathe. Have fun. Sounds super generic right and like the most obvious things, and I'm sure plenty of Takes about this already, but here's MINE. Most people on first dates are...

This is more about texting and emoji moments than usual dating world.... OK so you meet a guy and you start getting to know him and there is a lot of contact in the beginning, we all get this right? Normal texts when you...

More than once (once most recently) I have been accused of not dating someone because I didn't think they were in my league, which was not the case. A lot of guys seem to think that if a girl rejects them it's because she...

I'm writing this myTake to debunk the myth that women are incomplete without a partner, remove the rose-tinted glasses that many people wear when they think about relationships and to offer practical advice on enjoying...

There seem to be a few posts about what girls find physically attractive in guys (I've wrote one myself) but I'd like to tell you what I like in a guys personality. 1) Kindness There is nothing hotter than a guy who is...
