My friends and I were at brunch last week when the topic of dating came up. One of them – let’s call her Patricia – was upset about how much the dating world has changed since we were in our twenties. ‘It used to be so straightforward!’ she said, ‘You met someone you liked, you
“Happy Valentines” may be a thing we hear less and less frequently as the next few years pass by. This is because many people are choosing to avoid the holiday altogether. However, this pushback against celebrating Valentine’s Day is not due to unhappiness with love but rather the opposite. Many couples are focusing more on
There are a few things most people do but don’t admit to. A lot of people speed, jaywalk, check their ex’s Instagram, pee in the shower and have picked their nose in public once or twice.

At some point, almost everyone has tried to work things out with an ex. Sometimes it goes really well: the space allows partners to appreciate each other, grow and mature independently and work much better when they reunite.
