All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
It Ended Right When it Started
Intoxication. Heart pounding. Lips clashing. Everything that you have ever wanted has become reality. This is it, you have finally decided to show your most vulnerable state of existence to the one you have desired for so long. The amount of emotion being displayed by them has never been presented to you before so you grasp on to it like it is the last breath you have in your lungs. You let your hands roam their body, not knowing his would be the last time you would touch them. Too quickly, the climax of the situation has been reached. You stare into their eyes hoping to see the light of love you all you see is the lack of emotion they had before. They get up and gather their belongings as if they had been waiting to that the entire time and you both go your separate ways.

It Started with a Cup of Coffee
The first time I saw him he was on stage playing guitar. I looked up at this man and thought to myself, "That's him, that's the man I am going to marry." Immediately after I thought, "that's silly you can't just think that about a random guy."

Both Sexes Answer: What Women Want in a Man
That’s right, my peeps, it’s time for another Jus L'amore experiment. Recently, I discussed Top Male Turnoffs for Women, which illustrated five of the worst traits a man could possess according to women. Now, it's only right that we delve into what women DO find attractive in a man. However, this time I wanted to switch things up and survey males as well as females to see if men have any idea of what turns a women on. So, with the help of 50 men and 50 women, ranging from their late twenties to mid thirties, I conducted my first What Women Want experiment.

My Lesson on Emotional Abuse
TRIGGER WARNING: Abuse, mentions of Self-Harm and Suicide I had never been in a horrible relationship before, so this treatment was shocking to me. Nevertheless, it took me years to stop it because I became so accustomed to it. Before my abuse, I became depressed when I was 13 and developed anxiety, paranoia, and many bad habits. In my freshman year of high school, I went to hospitals, therapists, and was prescribed medication for my feelings and behavior. I looked to boys/men to fill the emptiness I felt, and it was such an unhealthy habit to have. Not only did I use guys to feel whole, I picked ones that were completely toxic to my mental health. When I was 14 I met a boy, who we'll call "Grey," who was three years older than me and we got to talking a lot. He seemed just like my type - dark, brooding, troubled - and I was extremely attracted to him. Within less than a week of our nonstop talking, Grey became my boyfriend, and although I was moving to the other side of the country the next month, we decided to give it a shot. Obviously, since our relationship was long distance, you can gather on your own that the abuse was emotional, but still just as painful as physical abuse.

Falling in Love Too Easily?
Much like most teenage hopeless romantics stuck in the generation of hook-ups, I fall in love too easily. Why? Because I grew up raised around movies and books that made finding love look so easy. Growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone, it was far from it.

Long Distance Relationships
For almost four year my fiancee and I lived 448 miles apart. Sim lived in Cwmfelinfach, South Wales - the area we're both from and I lived in St Andrews, Scotland. We'd met 7 months before I left for university and got together pretty much straight away. I'd already firmed St Andrews as my first choice on UCAS so once we were together there was no going back!

Why You Shouldn't Let Your Relationship Become Your Entire Life
At the moment, my friend is in a relationship with a girl in my class, and have been for around four months. I'm very happy for them (they had both been through horrible breakups in the past, and are both very lovely people), but throughout these few months, they have slowly become obsessed with each other.
