Now that we are well into the months of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Halloween parties, and cozy bonfires, you may be thinking about where to meet people during the fall season. Even though you may think of fall activities under one umbrella in and of…

Few people are probably thrilled to see their long-term ex move on. And I'm just speaking from the point of view of a regular, non-famous person. I mean, can you imagine being a celebrity going through an extremely public split and having to see the…

I think the concept of "love at first sight" could more accurately be called "lust at first sight," because what you're likely drawn to about another person upon first meeting them is their physical appearance. The "love" part develops over time as…

You know when you develop a new crush and all you do is think about that person? You text your friends about the latest thing your crush said to you, scream for days about one "I miss you" text they sent, and you scroll through Twitter to read…

It's cuffing season, folks. As you head toward colder weather, the end of the semester, and the holidays, you might be looking for something a little more serious than usual. When it comes to starting a new relationship or reevaluating the one…

You’re pretty sure you’ve found "the one", and all signs point to a happy ending: You’re compatible, you’re comfortable, and you’re madly in love. So, why do you get the nagging sense that you’re still afraid of settling down? The thing is, even if…

Sex, love, sleep, and food: all universal concepts that just about everyone understands. Whether you've never had sex, are currently sexually active, or are taking the world one sex-capade at a time, these tweets about sex will definitely make you…

Let's say you meet the person of your dreams. The two of you hit it off, you start dating, and things go so incredibly well that eventually you decide to introduce them to the most important people in your life, your parents. Unfortunately, when…

Ugh, can we just take a minute to recognize how adorable Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland are? They're both talented, sweet, and attractive on their own, so when they got together, it was practically magic. Unsurprisingly Wells Adams' quotes about Sarah…

What was once The Summer of Love seems to be quickly turning into The Fall of Heartbreak. That's right, people. Celebrity hearts are breaking just as quickly as they decided to fall in love and get engaged. And, the most recent casualty of The Fall…

Some may find “the one” early in life and immediately settle into a monogamous relationship. As for the rest — it takes a little trial and error to ultimately land on romantic happiness. If you've ever found yourself wondering, "should I date around…
