Who was the first person to teach you about sex? Was it your BFF? Was it your health teacher? Was it your high school boyfriend? Was it your mom? Was it your OBGYN? For me, it was none of the above. I actually learned about sex from a joke a boy told…

I have a theory that when it comes to planning weddings, people fall into one of two categories. On the one hand, you have people who have literally no idea what they want to do. They haven't put an ounce of thought into their wedding day until this …

As much as I'd like to say graduating college is NBD and post-grad life is just smooth sailing, I can't. It's unfortunately vastly different from life in college and the transition is extremely difficult. Everything from your finances to your dating …

In the hopeless romantic wasteland that is Hollywood, we are left with very little proof that celebrities can actually have lasting romantic relationships. One of those small glimmers of hope is the marriage of George and Amal Clooney. After what tru…

I don't know about you, but I love myself a good how-we-met story. For example, my boyfriend and I met at a bar when he drunkenly decided to get down on one knee and propose to me (a total stranger, as far as he was concerned). The whole thing was hi…

I remember the first moment I met my boyfriend. He was wearing a basketball jersey and a backwards hat and got down on one knee and proposed to me (a stranger he had met 30 seconds earlier) in the middle of the bar. I thought he was hilarious and a c…

I don't really use dating apps anymore because I'm in a relationship, but back when I did, I always wondered what I would do if I wanted to join one but I didn't have a Facebook. Are people just totally denied one of the most popular and easily acces…

You guys, before you even start reading this article, do yourself a favor and preemptively grab yourself a box of tissues. You're going to need it for the mass amounts of tears you're about to shed. I'm going to be honest, I didn't really keep up wit…

Close your eyes and imagine you're a teenager in your first real relationship. And it's actually a good, healthy, happy relationship! You trust your partner and your partner trusts you back. OK, now imagine that ex claims in a public interview that h…

I'm not going to lie here, marriage terrifies me. Like, truly shakes-me-to-my-core-level terrifies me. Maybe it's because my parents are divorced. Maybe it's because every celebrity relationship I've ever looked up to has eventually crumbled. But, fo…

Close your eyes and picture your ideal man. Is he a tall, sophisticated New York socialite with a keen interest in art? If so, J-Law may have just swiped your dream dude. Recent reports claim she's finally moving on from her breakup with Mother! dire…

As someone who spent the vast majority of her life as single, I know better than anyone how much fun being single can be. You get to date without any real commitment and you're totally free to do what you want with your time and energy. That being sa…

I was never a huge fan of the Twilight series because vampires terrify me. Nonetheless, I was always a fan of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson's off-screen romance. I think my affinity towards them as a couple was for no real reason other than the f…

I'm happy for Meghan Markle and her happily-ever-after, real-life fairytale but I have to say I can't help but feel extremely bad for any of her exes. Usually, it's a toss-up as to who actually "won" the breakup but, when your ex marries the freaking…

Much to my mother's dismay, I am in no rush to get married anytime soon, despite the fact that I'm in a perfectly happy relationship. You see, I'm 24, my boyfriend's 26 and, as far as I'm concerned that's just way too young to be making a commitment …

For those of you who missed the memo, it's officially June, which means it's PRIDE MONTH, BABY! Pride Month is a time where the LGBTQ+ community can come together to celebrate who they truly are without fear of any sort of judgment. Regardless of whe…

Anyone who says breakups aren't a competition is a bold-faced liar. I mean, of course, in an ideal world you would be happy if your ex, say, married the prince of England and you were left in the dust. But, alas, we're only human and can't help some …

Sometimes there's a clear cut sign that you're ready to end your relationship with a long-term partner. For example, if your partner betrays your trust or treats you poorly in any concrete way, it's probably a sign that you should consider leaving. T…

Romantic relationships are filled with intimate moments. And I'm not just talking about doing the dirty. No, I'm talking about the *other* romantic moments, like when you fall asleep on his chest or he holds your hair back when you throw up or when y…

A lot of sexually active people can agree that having sex doesn't necessarily translate to having an orgasm every single time. Of course, taking time to explore and understand your body can improve your odds of reaching climax, but I can't help but w…
