Some stereotypes are unfortunately true. Take for instance the one about the good girl who always wears her heart on her sleeves and gets dumped by men. She hooks up with these guys that have no serious intentions. Some of them seem nice but just wind up using her for sex. Others are abusive towards […]

I sometimes scan celebrity news (don’t pretend like you don’t!). So I was alarmed, as many people were, to read rapper and actor T.I.’s strange statements on fatherhood. I won’t repeat what he said, but feel free to read the story if you haven’t heard it by now. The celebrity dad was criticized for his

Interestingly, everything we THINK we know about attraction, or at least what we assume to be true, is oftentimes proven untrue! We assume things based on hearsay or Facebook discussion, or maybe even because we heard it in a movie. Maybe we even think things like “No one can explain attraction…it just happens.” Or, the

It’s time to talk about one of the greatest threats to your life. An underestimated threat and one that very few people ever see coming. That is: self-defeating behavior. The definition of self-defeating behavior is to act out against your own plan of success. You might even do certain things subconsciously. You have thoughts of

Remember when your parents used to say, “You don’t know what real love is yet. It’s just a crush.” Perhaps all you could think of at the time was, “But this feels like real love!” Of course it did. When we’re young, we only understand love according to how it feels. We don’t have a

Are you like me? Do you sometimes think back to old relationships, or even old crushes, and wonder if the right one got away? In other words, did you make a mistake? Did you really lose the best thing that ever happened to you because you made mistakes or felt scared? Let me put your

Someone asked me a challenging question the other day. She said, “I’ve been in love more times than I can count. But I’ve never been able to make a relationship last.” She then proceeded to tell me her story. Indeed, she approached romance very openly, honestly, and passionately. But in every past relationship, it seemed

The term “sociopath” is scary, right? It’s the word you hear quite often on TV dramas, or thriller movies, or some book where there’s a psychopath chasing an innocent person. Of course, all these stereotypes are ridiculously exaggerated. A sociopath is simply a person who has ASPD, or Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Contrary to popular opinion,

You are not alone if you’ve ever thought to yourself, “That guy liked me?! I had no idea!” A lot of guys really think women are lying when they say this. Maybe at one time I wondered myself if that was true. The younger me always said, “Oh she knew, she knew how I felt.
