Date the Person, Not the Potential

Are you dating the person—or their potential? We've all done it. “They'd be perfect if they just communicated better.” “They'll want commitment eventually.” “They'll become more romantic.” “They'll change.” But here's the uncomfortable truth: You shouldn't choose someone based on who you hope they'll become. People can grow. They can change. They can work on themselves—but they have to want that change. Before getting serious, ask yourself: “If this person […]

Think You’re Too Old For Love?

Maybe you're divorced. Maybe you've lost someone you loved. Maybe you've been single for years and wonder whether your chance at romance has passed.

Red Flags to Look Out for When Dating

Red flags aren't always dramatic.

Living Alone Feels Better Than Living With an Adult Child

There is something very attractive about a grown adult who can take care of themselves. Because sometimes being single isn't about not wanting love. It's about not wanting another person to manage. You can want companionship, affection, intimacy and someone to share your life with—and still think: “I don't want to raise another adult.” The right relationship shouldn't make your life perfect. But it shouldn't turn you into someone's mother, […]

Sharing Household Responsibilities Is an Act of Love

Love isn’t only flowers, date nights and romantic messages. Sometimes love looks like doing the dishes, planning dinner, taking out the rubbish, handling the school run or noticing that your partner is overwhelmed. Sharing household responsibilities says: “This is our home. These are our responsibilities. You don’t have to carry everything alone.” It doesn’t always have to be 50/50—but it should feel fair, respectful and shared. Real love often looks […]
