13 Reasons That Are NOT Why You Are Single

Let's get something straight once and for all, these reasons are definitely NOT why you are single:

1) Because you're nice. Nice people don't finish last. Maybe in high school this was the case, but in the grown-up real world, nice people will definitely have more chances of finding and staying in good relationships. No one wants to date an a-hole or a b*tch, so stop trying to be one, karma will bite you in the ass.

2) Because you don't have an "amazing" job". A good person will love you for the person you are, not for your job title. And if that is what they care about, you can tell them to buy a one-way ticket to the island of "forever alone because I'm shallow".

3) Because you don't have the "perfect" body. First, the perfect body does not exist because it is completely subjective, meaning everyone has a different definition of what the perfect body is. Second, that means that for some you DO have the perfect body. Third, everyone is attracted to different things, and it's definitely not only about physical attraction.

10 Signs Your Relationship Won't Last

1) You fight every week, if not everyday. Yes, fighting is normal, but fighting on a regular basis is not.

2) Communication doesn't improve. It's normal to have communication issues especially in the beginning, but these should be constantly improving with time.

3) Trust issues remain. Again, it's normal not to fully be able to trust someone at the start, as trust is not just a given, but it is earned. However, over time all the worries and trust issues you have should be completely gone if your relationship is going to last.

4) It's boring. I'm not saying relationships last by going out every single weekend and doing activities. I am, however, saying that even when you're not doing anything, your partner should never bore you. If you can have fun and laugh with nothing, that's how a relationship lasts.

Why It's Totally OK To Have Sex On The First Date

Alright, I know a lot may disagree with this, but just hear me out for a sex (oops I meant sec):

1) They won't think any less of you. Stop overthinking what the other person will think. Most people will actually not think much about it at all.

2) Chemistry says all. Not all relationships have amazing chemistry right from the start. First dates are awkward and can cause someone to be anxious and not really themselves. Although first dates may not always start off with amazing chemistry, by the end of the night this might be different and might create a different outcome than what you were expecting ;)

3) Test drive. I'm all for taking a car for a test drive before buying it, aren't you? Also, sexual preferences can vary soooo much. If it's not a match in that department, I say the sooner you know, the better.

What NOT To Do When You're Single

1) Advertise it on social media. No one cares about those pictures with quotes about "living up the single life" or "waiting until you find someone good enough". We know you're single, no need to remind us on Facebook, you're not 14 years old anymore.

2) Hate on relationships. It's fine to enjoy being single, but it's no one's place to judge others for being in relationships, whether you find it's a "good" or "bad" one.

3) Brag about it to friends. Again, it's fine to enjoy being single, but no reason to tell your friends who are in relationships that "you're soooo glad to be single", especially when they're having issues. I'm sure you're not soooo glad you're single when you feel lonely so give me a break.

The BS Stages of 21st Century Dating

 Chances are you have gone through these phases at least once in your dating life. If not, you're probably mature and not afraid to own up to your feelings and more people should be like you, please spread the message.

1) The "I'm talking to someone" stage / talking to different people. No one is just "talking" to 1 person at a time nowadays...

2) The "I'm going on a date but not expecting anything" stage. AKA still talking to other people or forcing yourself to not expect anything because it may make you seem too "eager" or "naive", and everyone always wants to make sure they "control" the situation...
