I always hear guys (and girls) talking about how they have trouble meeting the right people, while simultaneously downing some Jack & Coke at the local bar or a club. This is my relatively small list for these peopl…

Some stories can be laughed at, even if they're serious in nature. I'm known to be humorous in nearly all of my posts, but this story made my jaw drop in disbelief. (Skip to the end for another take on the case) A woman…

Have you ever been turned off by another person's name? I've never been in that situation, but I know all too well that there are people out there who can't deal with certain names. One reason may be because it's the na…

I have been dating my boyfriend for around ten months now, and we are pretty happy with how things are going. Recently, and somewhat to my surprise, a new question has hit the surface: Are you guys serious?

I’m sure there once was a time when you could not get enough of your significant other. I mean, that’s why you started dating them in the first place right? There was something that drew you together. Over…

They say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Well, here's my moment of insanity: whenever I've been in a relationship, I feel incredibly insecure. The three significant…

It's horrendous, right? The way she comments him on Facebook. How she will text him all the time! And what about her slutty pictures? Oh and the one time she tagged him in a picture at a party! And the other time that s…

I have been dating-but-not-really-dating this guy for about a month now. We hold hands in public, cuddle during movies, and he's not afraid to do this all in front of other people. We both already established that we…

Is it just me or do guys from other countries act more like gentlemen more than guys from America? This guy I have a major crush on is German (currently living in Iceland) and he's the most respectful guy I've ever me…

Author's note: For those of you who have read any of my other Datingish posts such as this, I want you to know that I wrote this to myself just as much as to anyone else out there who is always "that girl" and never "…

This month's release of Darren Aronofsky's film, Black Swan, has stirred up a lot of talk not just because of the magnificent acting and twisted plot, because in one very intense scene, Mila Kunis takes an ecstasy-drugg…

Sure the holidays are here and being single is just a bit harder, mostly for women. Whether you're newly single or been single for a while, there are reasons to be happy during the winter. 1. You don't have to shave you…

I've been losing interest in porn. I've reached a point in my life that I'm actually bored of it. I don't want to watch porn anymore.

Everyone's talking about deal breakers. These are the qualities your dates have, that would lead you to call it off completely, no matter what other qualities they might possess. US Weekly recently asked celebrities…

Editor's note: While we disagree these gender specific arguments, these reasons make sense-- and should be applied to men, too. So you’ve been dating him for a while, maybe for even a bit longer then a while. You…

I've always heard about the "ex factor" when it comes to new relationships. How the insecurity of an ex coming back to "supposedly" steal away the new love you have in your life. Here is my personal experience: I've h…

You hooked up with a guy during welcome week. He lives in your building (oops). Needless to say, you see him just about everywhere--in the lounge, at parties, in the dining hall. You're the mature one in this situ…

In general, I'm very calm, don't really fight. I don't really get anxious about tests, or other things like interviews--a little sometimes, but not much. But for some reason, I have this horrible issue with dating anxiet…

You might be thinking, "Is this really appropriate? This seriously lacks Christmas cheer." But I think this is the perfect time to exchange battle stories-- it'll remind the single or hurting folks that they aren't alo…

Yes, I'd love it if the man of my dreams climbed up a vine, into my bedroom window, and surprised me with two tickets to Paris for the weekend for an impromptu wedding in the gardens of Versailles just as much as the ne…

With classic leading man looks, beautiful baby blues, and killer bone structure/ bod, how could Chris Pine NOT be man candy of the week? Most well known for his role as Kirk in Star Trek and teen rom-coms (Just My Luck…

Have you ever found yourself in one of those common conversations where one of your guy friends complains about never having a girlfriend/boyfriend? The one where you just can't get out of their "Why does nobody ever w…

I am surprised? No. But I am weirded out. Interested in wearing a rubber penis on your wrist? Your dreams can now come true! Now you can own 12 sexually explicit silly bandz that glow in the dark.

Last month we ran a post about when most people break up... which would be right around now. Unfortunately, from what I've gleaned from recent comments and user submissions, a lot of you recently boarded the single boa…

I’m sure there once was a time when you could not get enough of your significant other. I mean, that’s why you started dating them in the first place right? There was something that drew you together. Ov…

I'm a twenty year-old virgin college student and have never had an actual boyfriend in the official sense. That statement is a little more common than you might think. It used to apply to most of my friends, but then on…

Credit: LOLZombie Women think about a variety of things; traveling, shopping, recreation, love, etc. But men, they just think about, well, sex.

Just recently, a good friend of mine, let's call him Nathan, broke up with his now-ex-girlfriend. Let's call her Jamie. The first time I met her was at a Halloween party being held by another friend of ours. She seeme…

Much like going to the doctor, men tend to be terrified of women. Crossing them together and concocting a female doctor in a lab somewhere will yield results similar to immigration officers chasing after illegal maratho…

... doesn't mean you're the perfect package. Relationships are more than physical attraction.

A recent article on CNN about the 2010 "State of Our Unions" report indicated that women with four-year degrees were more likely to commit to long-term relationships and marriage, while also adopting a marriage mindset…

I just spent the last few days thinking of how I was going to write this. I only write when the inspirational words fill my head and shoot out through the ends of my fingertips. My husband says that his favorite sound…

I'm kidding, I only like human vaginae. But have you heard of this phenomenon involving men who purchase what is called a "RealDoll" for a few thousand dollars? It literally becomes a life partner or a mistress they're…

We all know looks are the first thing most of us are attracted to about a person. A person would be lying if they said looks do not matter even a little bit to them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we tend to…

The majority of divorced people have regrets - they're sorry they gave up and wish they had tried harder. In most cases, saying “irreconcilable differences” is enough for a divorce, at least as far as t…

Roughly a month ago, there was a post on Lovelyish showing a chart of when the most Facebook breakups occurred. One of the tallest 2 peaks was a little before the winter Holidays. I'll admit it, I looked at that chart…

(Warning: This post contains an inordinate amount of generalizations. There are always exceptions.) In these modern times, women are just as capable (if not more) than our male companions. We work, raise children (no e…

A wise man once said to me, "Men will get away with what you let them get away with." Does that mean you need to be a vicious nag? Of course not; but it means you shouldn't just go along with behavior that makes you fee…

1. Our idea of virginity is flawed (not to mention homophobic) The traditional viewpoint of being a "virgin" means not being penetrated by a man's penis. For the longest time, I thought that was a reasonable explanation…

I wrote this based on the way I (as a straight female) develop crushes on guys. Tailor it to your own preferences based on whatever sex you're attracted to. I believe that sexual orientation doesn't affect how crushes d…

In less than three weeks, children around the world will be mesmerized by their relatives in Santa outfits; or perhaps just hobos with large garbage bags and white beards, walking dogs for cheeseburgers. No matter which…

The relationship can come to an end only because of a small reason. It is necessary to take some efforts to heal a relationship if we actually want to save it. The most important thing is that one person has to take…

1. He/she is "The One" We all know who "The One" is. "The one" is that one person who has all the qualities that we could wish for. That one person who we thought existed only in our dreams. That is...until we divorce…

Yes, pick-up lines are cheesy. And they most likely don't work. But they're still fun to read. (And search for -- except trying to find worthy ones are a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.) Sometimes, no matte…

Our ideas of love come from places like movies, TV shows, romance novels, first kisses, first dates, friends' stories, parents' stories, etc... We all want one or more of the following: marriage, romance, a solid rel…

Growing up I never thought I would be one of "those girls." You know the type. Hair in a knotted mess, mascara stains running down her cheeks. Boo-hooing everytime she hears a love song on the radio. (See Exhibit "A.")…

I've slept with more people than I'd like to admit. However, those sexcapades are an important part of my past, because it shows where I've been & how far I've come. I've learned from my mistakes though, all of…

If you're looking to drop hints to your BF that things might be over after the holidays, place one of these Precious Moments-style ornaments on your tree and make sure he notices. 'Tis the season for passive-aggressiv…

We know what most men find attractive in a woman on a very basic level: pretty face, curvaceous body. Then there are the other, more controllable things we know that make us more attractive: being clean, having nice hai…

One friend once told me a deep insight he learned about dating: "Men want women to stay the same, but they end up changing. Women want men to change, but they stay the same." I've definitely seen this played out.

Whenever I would tell my workaholic ex-boyfriend that I needed more attention, he would respond by saying something ridiculous like, "Well, I'm not going to show up to your house riding on a white horse and shower you w…

I've noticed there are a lot of posts about cheating and people whining that they were cheated on (everyone has been) or some brave soul fighting the system with an attempt at validating it, or someone using as a reveng…

Fmylife.com contains short day-to-day life anecdotes. A simple recipe: in one sentence, each site visitor can tell the shitty moment which ruined his day. These short stories must begin with "Today" and end with "FML".…

Oh man, this guy is a real charmer-- I could listen to this little love ditty all day! In case you're wondering, this is Tinashe and his Mbira version of the song "Zambezi." Tinashe is a 25-year-old hipster…

This is just absolutely and horribly gross, but yes, I have just discovered that my farts are terrible compared to my fiance's. I am not really happy to discover this. I mean, a woman has that image of being lovely, del…

I won't deny that I'm a kid at heart. How can I? Especially since I spent the other night drinking hot cocoa in my doggie pjs while watching the Grinch....So what? I think my immaturity is harmless because most of the…

My dad died before I was born, and my whole life my mom has never dated. She's never even talked to a male in any flirty way. She doesn't ever go out or do anything fun. She just works and stays home.

If I had a boyfriend... 1. I get to dress him up however I want. No, I'm joking. Then again, I could pick out nice clothes for him. Blues are never really "ugly" on decent-looking boys. I prefer the dark blues to navy…

Sheesh! I want to bang my head against a wall every time I read an entry about "Does he love me, or just want to have sex with me?", which usually translates into "I'm not sure I should be boinking him, but if he has so…

About two months ago, my boyfriend of two years and I separated. Our time apart has been filled with ups and downs, and it seems that we might be headed towards getting back together. Nevertheless, there is still some…

Relationship rejection is one of those nasty by products that come along with dating. Most of us don’t have skin thick enough to completely ward off the effects. We are “only human” after all. However,…

I'm not sure if anyone knows about the (satire?) site Date to Save, which is targeted at "saving" the masses of non believer fellas with the help of beautiful believer women.

One of the worst things a person can hear from the person they are seeing is, "You're way too clingy." It's a dreaded word all over the map of dating and people will do anything they can to avoid becoming so. You're the…
