Guys and girls, girls and guys... when hormones and confusion abound, we don't always know if we really like someone or if we are simply enamored with the attention we're receiving. Is there someone with whom you are spending a lot of time, but you don't know if you *really* like him or her? Are you concerned that the light, airy feeling you're experiencing is coming from the excitement of having someone interested in you? If it's clear that your friend is googly-eyed for you, but it's taking you a long time to decide if you are into him or her, you may run the risk of stringing this person … [Read more...]
Six Signs He is Stringing Her Along (Being Strung Along, Part 1)
The below post and its companion (Six Signs She is Stringing Him Along [Being Strung Along, Part 2]) have been two of the most upvoted posts on our site. In this Year of Hindsight, we are revisiting several highly upvoted posts and are highlighting and updating them! “But I thought we had something. I thought you loved me; and I loved you.” An ex-boyfriend said this to me in the driveway of his parents’ home. Maybe your first inclination is to think, “Awww, he wanted you back,” or “How sweet. He still loved you.” Well, not exactly. He was my ex, but he was not a recent ex. In fact, he … [Read more...]
Communication Style and Conflict (Important Self-Discoveries before Dating, Part 3)
Series Recap Hopefully, by now, you have taken some time to think about your calling and life goals as well as your personality and marital expectations.

Personality and Expectations (Important Self-Discoveries before Dating, Part 2)
Calling and Life Goals Recap Have you spent some time over the last couple days thinking about your calling and goals from the first post in this series?

You probably won’t be able to fully articulate all of your objectives immediately; however, it is important to start getting a handle on them. Though you don’t have to be on a constant quest, be open to self-discovery. Read books, talk to people who have walked where you want to walk, and be open to thinking about where you’ve been and where you’re heading. What’s next to … [Read more...]
Calling and Life Goals (Important Self-Discoveries before Dating, Part 1)
Do you know yourself? This might sound like a dumb question, but chances are you still have a lot to learn about who you are. At thirty-years-old, I’m still discovering new aspects of my personality all the time. “So, that’s why I react that way when xyz happens. Now I get it! Knowing this would have saved Eric and me so much aggravation and needless arguments if I had understood this about myself years ago!” Sometimes we don’t want to know more about ourselves. It isn’t fun to face imperfections of our makeup. Because once we are aware of imperfections, then it behooves us to correct them … [Read more...]
