The Ambrose Girls

There are about a thousand good reasons to date someone in your friend group. For one, your people are his people. You don't have to worry about the awkward introductions to your crew — you already know they love him. Also, when you date someone in y…

While I absolutely love and adore my married girlfriends, there is one big thing I wish they knew: I am completely fine being single, and I am completely fine NOT getting married any time soon... or ever. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for marriage and …

I can honestly say I have cheated on a boyfriend, and I have absolutely no regrets about it. Although that statement sounds cold and harsh, hear me out before judging me. When I was in college, I had my first “real” boyfriend. I was young, and swept …

“I hate being single." “Am I the problem?” “Seriously, will anyone ever like me again?!” To be completely honest, I have used and abused the aforementioned quotes ... plus many more. I have complained about being single AF over the past few months, p…

When I was new to the whole dating and relationships thing, I dated someone my parents truly did not like. Actually, "did not like" is a huge understatement — they genuinely loathed every bit of him. Even though this was my first boyfriend and I had …

I once read an article that discussed how there is nothing worse on earth than having your ex be more successful than you are post-breakup. And I have to say I agree. It's one thing for them to move on to someone new. In that instance, you can critiq…

Negging is a misogynist tactic that aims to lower a woman's self-esteem in order to break her down to get what is wanted from her, i.e. a relationship, date, etc. So there's finally an Urban Dictionary term for the fucking awful treatment I received …

Frustrated and confused by the modern day dating world (and so over the fuckboys), I decided to take refuge in one of my all time favorite goth romance novels, "Rebecca." Originally published in 1938, "Rebecca" has reminded me of the stark differenc…

A sense of belonging can be defined as a basic human need, just like the need for food and shelter. Feeling that you belong is a crucial part in seeing value in your life. We all have an inherent desire to belong to something more, to something great…

I believe in love conquering all; I believe in soulmates; I believe in marriage. What I don't believe in is the Millennial haphazard treatment of this huge commitment. I will never be the person to get married to check the box, accomplish some “life …

No judgment here, but personally, I have always been against dating apps like Bumble and Tinder. Sure, I've tested them out before (relationship blogger research, of course), but something about the principle of the whole thing just rubs me the wrong…

It's inevitable that as humans, we grow and evolve over time. When it comes to relationships, sometimes people change for the other person, or perhaps the other person changes for him or her. Maybe it's eating more healthily, dressing better or a sta…

It's a known fact to all of us that the world of dating can be pretty terrifying. We go to bars and meet strangers, or swipe right and set up something with someone who “seems” normal only to find out we were sorely, sorely mistaken. We place our dat…

Recently, my sister and I were discussing the male species — which, as relationship bloggers, happens QUITE frequently. Go figure! However, this particular back-and-forth banter during our typical couch and tea-filled Monday night struck a chord with…

I recently wrote an article for Elite Daily about an ex who lingers in the forefront of a girl's mind. As described in my article, he is the one ex who, for whatever reason, hasn't dissipated into the mysterious beyond that all exes should eventually…

Let's be honest here for a moment and discuss something that happens when you're single for a long period of time: It fucks with your head. What I'm talking about is deeper than the eye rolls we all share immediately following the never-ending tirade…

The ability to “see clearly” in a relationship is frequently described as impossible. If a girlfriend is deep in the throes with a shitty ex, a common explanation for her irrational behavior is that she is too close to the situation and is not “seein…

A little bit ago we wrote an article on yours truly, Elite Daily, called “If You Really Liked Her, You'd Be The First One To Make A Move.” The title here pretty much sums up the point of the article, but incase you need more of a clue in: Guys, just …

When a guy has a crush on a woman, the normal progression of action would look something like the following: 1. Ask her for her phone number. 2. Strike up a text conversation, or make a real phone call. 3. Ask her out on a date. 4. Plan the date. 5. …

Some of our most beautiful love stories – the ones that form us and touch us deeper than we ever could imagine – come to an end. When this happens, we are left alone, forced to muster up the courage to piece ourselves together bit by bit. We attempt …
