Dating is hard. In our culture, we mate for life. We find a person as soon as we can to marry and have children with and grow old with. We have marriage benefits, we have joint bank accounts, and we share lives. That’s a very serious thing so the process to get there is very…
My first ever relationship was built on uncertainty. It was just like the movies, where there would be some sort of conflict and unrequited love. It was exciting, it made me think that all love needs to be that way. That we need to overcome some kind of problem in order to truly appreciate each…
