Would you know how your partner wants to be loved? More to the point, when was the last time you cared? Are you taking your partner for granted. In the early stages of a relationship there is so much effort put in by both of you in order to impress and get to know each [...]
Are women over 30 looking for men much younger than themselves, was a question recently posted on a relationship/dating advice forum. What interested me was that it provoked a huge response from women, and men. I was intrigued enough to dig deeper into what, on the surface, seemed a simple enough question. There was a [...]
As a parent of two late teens, I would hope my children absorb the good things about growing up in our family. I can’t recall having really bad fights with my wife in front of our children. Sure, we would argue at times. I would be mortified if those arguments or the way we may [...]

Some think that eventually, one or both ‘friends’ want to take the relationship to another level. A general definition of the word ‘platonic’ would be a relationship between a man [...]
I would never have thought that a well known dating forum would spark so much lively discussion, namely If you’re dating the right person would you wait until marriage for sex? Years ago, when I was in my late teens, the thought of having sex only in a loving relationship like marriage was alien to [...]
Going onto various dating and relationship forums I’ve noticed that there are many different interpretations of what is ‘instant chemistry’. Some people think it only exists in Hollywood films and romantic novels. Many men feel it’s all that women seek when dating.

It’s an age old problem that has baffled nice guys, why do bad guys (jerks) always succeed with women? It seems totally illogical. I could never understand it when I was a teen.
