They say timing is everything. And “they” are right.

We live our lives striving to make perfect decisions. We are bombarded with information that tells us we are imperfect and that we must strive to attain success. Whether it’s how our bodies and faces look and how we must retain our youth, despite the natural process of aging; how we dress; how much money we earn; where we live; what commodities and material possessions we can accumulate.

People treat friendships differently from romantic relationships, and it always seems absurd to me that we hold our domestic partners to wholly different standards than we hold our friends. For instance, sometimes people will put up with longstanding emotional abuse from friends in a way they never would from their romantic partners. "Friendship" to some people, means an unbreakable commitment, but it's really not. Friendships, like any other kind of relationship, can end. People change, grow, or become mean and distant.

Holding off on love doesn't mean it isn't happening. The signs your partner loves you are more exciting than the words themselves, and sometimes, they come out well before that person has realized it for themselves. While it's better to wait a good, long while before rushing into love, it doesn't hurt to pay attention to the signals your new partner is sending and seeing whether you can match their gestures of care with ones of your own.

I have to tell you, I’m difficult to love.

The fact that it is taking me quite some time to learn how to love myself means that it’s not going to be a walk in the park for you to love me.

I have mustered every ounce of courage to teach myself the essence of self-love and to finally give myself the chance to be loved by someone. And that is never easy. I know, I have gone far, and throughout my mission of attaining self-love, I have garnered strength along the way too. I am not as fragile as I used to be, however I want you to remember that I can still be soft on occasions.

1. You ascribe intent.

Another driver cut you off. Your friend never texted you back. Your co-worker went to lunch without you. Everyone can find a reason to be offended on a steady basis. So what caused you to be offended? You assigned bad intent to these otherwise innocuous actions. You took it as a personal affront, a slap in the face.

Happy people do not do this. They don’t take things personally. They don’t ascribe intent to the unintentional actions of others.

Who is cutting onions!  Why are my eyes watering up.  Probably because this is the sweeting thing we've seen in along time.  After Samuel Vegas's fiance Troy proposed to him, he turned around and proposed to him so he would as Samuel quotes "I wanted him to have the same experience as I did.. I love you forever" 

Its just too sweet for words.  Take a look below!

Being faithful means more than keeping your hands to yourself. It means more than only sleeping with one person, only kissing one person, only being physically involved with one person.

Being faithful means that you delete the dating apps on your phone, because you don’t need them anymore. Because you don’t need more booty calls or backup plans. Because you’re happy with the person that you’re dating and would never dream of cheating on them.

The unfortunate truth is that deception has become an integral part of dating. Not just online dating, either. By deception I mean stretching of the truth or lies of omission. An inch here, a few years there. We shave, we add, we spin. All of us do it. Those who swear up and down that they’re “totally honest” in their profile are all kind of precious. They’re also the ones who don’t date much or enjoy sitting behind their laptop and moralizing. Good for them.

When you find out a partner has genital herpes, you may be shocked at first and then have lots of questions. Here are some answers.

How likely is it that I've been infected with genital herpes, too?

That depends on whether you have always practiced safe sex, for one thing. Also, it may depend on how long you've been sexually intimate with each other.

If you've had sex only once or twice, and if you used a condom each time, the risk is lower than if you've had unprotected sex for a long time. But you could have been infected during any one encounter.

No two relationships are ever the same, and there is no such thing as the perfect relationship.  We know this and yet we constantly enter into relationships expecting for things to follow a formula or to go exactly as we planned. We picked up many unrealistic expectations from romantic movies and TV shows, where they convince us of what we think we deserve in a relationship. No relationship is without its trials and issues. We can, however, make our relationship more fulfilling and exciting. A good relationship requires effort, hard work and dedication from both partners.
