Conversation hearts, a dozen roses, a box of chocolate…if you think these Valentine’s Day gift ideas are boring and meaningless, we’re right there with you! Plus, Valentine’s Day gifts aren’t always that easy to figure out…just like your dating status. Here are a few ideas for wherever you lie on the spectrum of love-from what to get that guy you’re casually seeing, to the present for your longterm girlfriend or the best gift for your crush who doesn’t even know you’re alive.
My top three things that guys should be doing…or should NOT be doing when it comes to sweeping a girl off her feet…or at the very least, getting a second date.
I recently found myself in a situation where things were moving way too quickly with a guy I had just met. We bonded while waiting for a flight back to Atlanta, and in a matter of hours it felt like we had been friends forever. You know what I mean – those relationships that you form for a temporary purpose: keeping you company in line for a rollercoaster and Six Flags, bonding over mutual gripes on public transportation, the friend of a friend from out of town that joins you all at your local bar one night. People you never imagine you’ll see again but they serve their purpose as your confidante and entertainment while you’re together. Now add onto that a level of mutual attraction, and you’ve got yourself a situation ripe for the fast-track. So how do you slow things down and make sure no one rushes into anything?
OMG. Have I got a treat for you today! The biggest complaint I hear from readers and friends when it comes to online dating is “I just never meet anyone cool-and I have no idea why.” Well, what if the problem starts with YOU? My twin sister happens to work at the corporate office of one of the worlds largest, and most popular online dating sites, and when she offered to write a post spilling some insider secrets, I jumped at the chance. Sharing is caring! Here she is…and of course, leave any questions in the comments for her-maybe we’ll make this a weekly thing
Does Google know everything?! I mean, obviously, but it never ceases to amaze me. Check out the breakdown of Google+ users in the U.K. when it comes to their relationship status. Most google users are SINGLE (35.12%) That’s a lot of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes…what are you guys waiting for? I have a feeling a lot of my single friends in California might want to jump across the pond! Also made me laugh that there are more in “complicated” relationships than I would expect-but then again, most relationships are a tad complicated, no?
As kids and teens, our relationship ideas were focused on how cute a boy was, what sport he played or if he had a pool in his backyard. Perhaps they were simpler times, though I clearly remember the dramatic break ups and all of the feelings associated with these early relationships.
It’s only logical that as we grow older, our relationships evolve and the qualities we look for in a partner change. We as people become more complex, therefore allowing us to embark on more complex relationships. So as adults, what qualities do we look for now? Who has replaced the varsity athlete with a backyard pool?
Most women, whether they’ll admit it or not, have always envisioned what their dream wedding would be like. I know I have and trust me, there is no wedding on the horizon anytime soon. Still, it’s fun to think about, right? I’ve thought about what my wedding dress would like, where we’ll go on our honeymoon, but I never really picture the cake-shove a cupcake in my mouth and I’m a happy girl, usually…but some couples take a different approach to their wedding cakes. Here are some of the weirdest ones I’ve found…
Alright, gentleman…this one’s for you. Words of wisdom from the fabulous single girlie!
Greetings, We Love Date-ians! It’s singlegirlie here from Single Girl Blogging. It’s my first post here on this lovely site and I’m tickled hot pink.
I asked my Twitter followers what topics they’d like to read about on an online dating site’s blog, and one jovial chap replied, “How about how to get a fuckin’ response?”
I thought such a spirited request deserved some recognition, and thus the topic of this post was born. (I modified the F-word in the title, so as not to get you fired should your boss walk by. See? I got your back.)
Happy Monday, lovers! Kicking off a new week with a guest post from the lovely Chiara.
The list of no-no’s is endless when it comes to first date advice. I can tell you to never spread your legs when wearing a dress; I can tell you to keep all exes, insecurities and over all baggage in the closet – where they belong; I can tell you not to flirt with the valet attendant, too.
But am I going to waste my precious time on WeLoveDates by reiterating things you should already know? No. Instead, I’m going to focus on one thing you think you know but aren’t always conscious of following through with while on a date: treating the service staff well.
If you follow We Love Dates on Twitter, you might have seen me tweeting about witnessing a terribly awkward first date yesterday. Well, it was so bad that of course I had to vlog about it.
