Age Guidelines For Dating
I tend to pride myself on being a rational person. Of course, that means I do occasionally forget that sometimes the one thing I think I'll never have to deal with is the very experience I'm about to encounter and learn from. Here's a little background before I ask my question.
I have a friend who is a junior in high school and he's 16 years old. (He'll be 17 in May.) We'll call him Eric. I met him through a mutual friend a couple years ago. They were dating at the time. At that point he was just a face that didn't mean much to me - he was the excuse for her to say she was dating someone and nothing more. I wasn't around him for more than an hour the only time I met him. So when she dumped him they stopped talking and he actually moved to a different town because his parents were split up, and we never really got to where I would've considered us 'friends'.

Size Shouldn't Matter...Most Of The Time It Does
I was reading this blog about a guy rejecting a girl because of her size. Even though he did make out with her at parties and went on vacation with her, he still couldn't get past her size, and in a lot of ways it is honestly true.
I am a slightly curvy girl, and I have had the cruel rejection over my size before. When you think size shouldn't matter it does when it comes to relationships. I feel very lucky I have a husband who appreciates the size I am, and doesn't want to change me. I know a lot of females don't have that luck, and they are left with the rejection of "oh your too big for me" I don't like you enough to look past your size.
Size shouldn't matter when it comes to how you look, but sadly it does. More Here...

Star Signs: Pathetically Accurate or Just Pathetic?
I've always been a curious, inquisitive person. As long as I can remember all things falling within the realm of the 'mystical' have appealed to me. These included astrology, palm reading and fortune telling. Yes one may discard such things as pure rubbish and nonsense. Well, I didn't. When I was younger I took them rather seriously and became well informed on zodiac signs (not horoscopes per se) and tarot cards. I actually owned a pack at some point and began reading cards for friends. To my amazement some of my 'predictions' actually happened. Creepy. And when I'd have my eye on a guy I was interested in I'd look up their 'sign' to see if he and I were compatible. Ahhh, if we were astrologically compatible than that would be a plus point, so I thought. How pathetic is that???!!! More Here...

"What if she lives in Helsinki, I'll never find her!"
Interracial dating has been a sometimes-controversial topic for many years, and now the idea of "intercultural" dating has become a buzzword. The Internet has only made the world smaller, making it easy to meet someone on the other side of the world who just might be your soulmate.
When I was younger, I was a huge fan of Clarissa Explains it All. I remember one episode where Sam laments about his perfect girl: "What if she lives in Helsinki? I'll never find her!" With dating sites like eHarmony and match.com and even on Facebook and MySpace, it's possible to meet those people. More Here... -
The Fear of Rejection
Today, I had about 45 minutes to kill and I was no where near my house. So I decided to grab a magazine and get some green tea from Starbucks. I walk in and see a VERY cute guy sitting and studying and... not looking at me at all. So I got my tea and conveniently grabbed a seat near his. He looked over, smiled, and went back to his studying. I sat for the next 40 minutes willing him to talk to me (on a related note I apparently have no psychic abilities).
