myTakes: Dating

I recently saw a myTake on why "nice guys/girls" can't get a date. I agree with everything the author said, except one thing: nice guys are girls are not really "nice". Wondering why? Well, one of the reasons is... 1....

So you’re a nice person and you're still single. What gives? You’d do anything to make someone happy, unlike all the asshole/bitchy guys and girls who seem to so easily get dates. Why are you having no luck? Being Nice...

We have all been there, girls and guys alike: you have a friend/acquaintance that makes a move on you, and you want NONE OF IT, so you do the responsible thing and let them down easy. However, rather than taking your...

There are all types of men out there. Some are the types we want to bring to mom and some men are types that some women just want to bring home. However, there are some we should try to avoid at all costs. If you are a...

If you feel like you've been taken advantage of by girls for being nice and doing things for them but they totally ignored you otherwise....then: Don't do favors for a girl unless you're DATING her already! Or getting...

For the last few months after I broke up, I tried all my way to release my anger, fear, anxity and depression. I went to the bars, drank, got drunk, meet people online.. As a person who went through all of these and have...

First of all, I know, I'm only 20 years old. I have been getting weird reactions when I've told people I've joined a dating site before. But the thing is that I wanted a relationship. I wanted to meet someone to share my...

One of the things I've noticed since joining this site are the constant questions on whether physical attractiveness is more important then personality. In my opinion they both equal out. The looks grab you and the...

The most common question I see on here is 'I'm (insert age) and have never had a girlfriend/boyfriend. Why not?'. Now, I think I have some pretty good insights into this, that I've decided to share. Please note, these...

I read a lot of questions and comments here and elsewhere from self-identified nice guys that presume that women like assholes. They see women dating guys that they consider assholes and instead of asking what it is about...

So many times have I read and heard of men who are in the friend zone, blame the women for them being friend zoned. Most of the popular reasons I see are that men say girls just go for the "bad boys" Then, men pull out...

What’s the first thing you think of when you find out a friend met someone online?  What if they met someone through work?  What about the bar scene? How we choose to find someone, or where we are at the time when we meet...

Dear future Boyfriend, Here I am writing this, because if you're falling in love with me it's only fair enough to let you know what you'll be dealing with. I'll drive you crazy with my sarcastic comments and frustrate you...

At least 10 times a day there is a post of 'She Friend Zoned me! What do I do?' It always bugs me because there is no such place. So what is it? Well, most people think this: Which I will say is partly true. The concept...

I don't understand why people love it when an interracial relationship consists of a white female/POC Male but as soon as its POC/White Male there's always someone saying something negative. As a WOC who is attractive to...

We all have fallen for classic jerks at some point of our lives, the following are 5 signs that will let you know that you're dating a total jerk. 1. He makes you feel bad about yourself. This is the biggest sign that...

You’ve met someone and have agreed to go out, but while on the date or when you were saying goodnight, something personally embarrassing happens.  Any of these examples and more: Farting Choking fit Tripping/Falling...

Things that might have irritated you with other people suddenly are tolerable.  Have you ever found yourself becoming more accepting, even adventurous with experimenting how the other half lives when you feel more for the...

I am going into grade 12 this year and turning 17. I'm reflecting on my highschool years and I've only ever dated/ had flings with older guys. By older I mean guys 18-24. Now I know what you're thinking, that's...

So many times people question whether or not they should even get involved with someone who lives with mental illness, is a recovering addict, has a dark past, or just plain carries baggage.  If you’ve met someone and...
