Generally, I’m a firm believer in faking it til you make it…but not when it comes to relationships. I had to learn the hard way-I’m guilty of it, of wanting a guy to like me so much that I feigned interest in things he loved, or changed the way I dressed, acted or behaved in order to please him. I would hide what I was really thinking or feeling. We weren’t on the same level, but I was desperately trying to force it. So lame, right? Luckily, Kelleye is here to shed some light on the subject, and how to handle it.

This topic was inspired by a good friend of mine, who has recently starting dating someone she met online. Their conversations had led her to believe that they were headed in the direction of a relationship, and she felt comfortable enough to remove her profile off the online dating site. Then she discovered that his profile still existed.
During the beginning phases of any relationship, there are discussions that must be had, cautiously layered on top of the excitement and constant butterflies. Discussions about commitment, past relationships, where this relationships is heading, exclusivity, and the Boyfriend & Girlfriend talk. None of these are easy, but the addition of online dating adds another discussion into the mix: the removal of the profile and when it’s appropriate. Of course this can be a sensitive topic, so I’m here to help! Read the rest of this entry

On Friday, the sassy and a little naughty Los Angeles based Chiara of the relationship blog Chiarasays.com sent me her latest book The 9 Mirages of Love to read, and I promptly poured myself a glass of wine, curled up with my ipad and read the whole thing straight through.
Fast forward to Saturday, and I’ve already recommended the book to some of my best friends-especially those who are struggling in the love department. I generally find book on relationships devastatingly cliche’ and boring, and generally seem to lack real world advice that can be applied to most situations, but the 9 Mirages of Love proved me wrong.
Love is no fairytale, and there aren’t any rainbows and butterflies here, she says. And she’s right.
Call it what you’d like-tough love, a reality check, a slap across the bum…Chiara doesn’t sugar coat anything when it comes to love, sex and relationships, and she tells you the things you wish your best friend would but she’s too afraid…Chiara isn’t. You definitely get the impression that Chiara has been there, done that, that she’s been to hell and back-and that she wants to prevent her readers from experiencing that darker side of love, so she’s sharing her knowledge in order to prevent them from having yet another emotional breakdown. It’s not always fun, but it’s necessary.
I often feel like women don’t like to talk about the non-fairytale kind of love and dating. It’s almost as if we don’t want to admit that some of us are addicted to the pain of being in a shitty relationship, or in love with an emotional or physically abusive man and don’t know how to deal, or having an extremely difficult time bouncing back from a painful break-up. The 9 Mirages of Love manages to tackle all these topics and more with a playful undertone and real world advice that you can actually use! Shocking, right? 
You don’t have to go through it alone, loves! Chiara has got your back…the 9 Mirages of Love is your key to cutting through the bullshit, relying on yourself and creating your own kind of fairytale.

As a single gal for about a year now, I’ve settled in nicely to my life on my own. I also live alone, so I’ve gotten very comfortable spending time with myself (and talking to my cat.) I love being able to come home from work and put on sweatpants. I love being in control of my own DVR and not having to check in with someone else when making plans. I like all the typical perks of being single, but what happens when you meet someone? There are all sorts of habits that are going to change, and that can be hard. Here are four tips that may help.

I had the biggest and admittedly-desperate-crush on my classmate Ryan in high school. He was so handsome, always told funny jokes in class and seemed like such a great guy.
Key word? Seemed. Because in the four plus years that we went to school together, I never once spoke one word to him. Of course, this didn’t stop me from telling anyone who would listen about how much I “loved” him, or how much I wished he would invite me to the prom. Spoiler alert! He didn’t!
So what does this have to do with you?

If you’ve been reading for a little while, you know that I met my current boyfriend online. Our first date was seriously magical…and then I didn’t hear from him for two weeks until I got a random email asking how I was. It went on like this for way too long-we’d go out on great dates, only for him to disappear for weeks on end after. I was hurt and confused-because when we were together it was great, but it seemed like he totally forgot about me the next day. And then I started getting mad. Finally, I had enough and let him know in no uncertain terms that I wasn’t his toy and that he needed to stop playing around with my feelings.
It was our first fight, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I like to refer to it as love at first fight.

The other day I was chatting with some new acquaintances when one of them brought up the fact that he had just gotten back together with his ex-girlfriend the week before Christmas. I jokingly commented that he had terrible timing and that he should have waited until all of the couple-y holidays were over in March. I meant it in jest, but I got to thinking about my own relationship history. In the last 6 years, I’ve been in a relationship for exactly two Christmases, two New Year’s Eves, and one Valentine’s Day. The rest of my relationships have taken place in the spring, summer and fall, often ending before Halloween or Thanksgiving. Read the rest of this entry
