I Don’t Want To Be Single Any More

There are certain times of the year when being single can be especially tough. Long Bank Holiday weekends, Valentines Day, family holidays and key social events can often appear to be cosy twosome or family arrangements and at those times being single can feel particularly lonely and unloved. The fact that the days and weeks post-Christmas and holidays are two of the busiest times of the year for divorce lawyers can do little to provide comfort or alleviate the loneliness and sense that we're missing out on something special. Sometimes we can sigh and feel that we really don't want to be single any more. - Many people who don't want to be single choose to join online dating sites and these can be an efficient way of finding someone with similar tastes and interests who fits our criteria.

Overcoming The Stigma of Being Single

Shortly after my divorce I felt that I was broken and didn't have anything to offer another person. I avoided dating and putting myself out there because I was overwhelmed with the thoughts that caused me confusion about who I was anymore. I sorted my life out and started asking the questions about what I wanted my life to be about for the next 20 years. It proved to be an irreplaceable step to healing and getting my bearings before heading into a new relationship without dealing with some internal battles that needed to be addressed. To have a relationship full of meaning and rewards we must first realize that we are half of the new relationship. If the focus is getting someone else to complete us, then we have already lost the battle. The secret is to be complete and happy in ourselves f...

The Dating App Trap

There's a certain dating website that shall remain nameless. In all its ads, it sells itself as a means of finding your soulmate. Ahh, true love... Except... Well, it's obviously a site for hooking up. How do I know? You can tell the intention behind something not in its marketing but how it's designed. In this case, the website let you filter matches by all sorts of things - gender, location, age, salary, education... All useful stuff for finding a partner. But also not only height but hair colour and eye colour. Only the most vapid, shallow and deluded folks say their soulmate has to have hazel eyes. For a night of cheap, harmless fun though? Well, that makes a bit more sense. This trap can show up in your affirmations too. When you say you want to find 'love' or 'wealth', wh...

How Serious Is Your Online Date? The Signs

The one challenge that comes with online dating is that it can be very hard to tell what the other person is feeling and whether they have the same expectations as you do. Face to face interactions are very helpful when it comes to evaluating a potential partner, but the fact that it might take time before you meet and spend time together makes online dating a little challenging especially for those looking for serious relationships. However, it is very possible to find a date looking for a serious and strong relationship.

We studied what happens when guys add their cats to their dating app profiles

If you’ve used a dating app, you’ll know the importance of choosing good profile pics. These photos don’t just relay attractiveness; a recent study suggested that 43% of people think they can get a sense of someone’s personality by their picture. You might guess that someone who has included a photo of themselves hiking is an outdoorsy type of person. But as scientists who study human-animal interactions, we wanted to know what this meant for pet owners – in particular, male cat owners. If you’re a guy who owns a cat, what kind of effect does it have on suitors if you post a picture posing with your favorite feline? Prior studies suggested that women do judge a potential male partner based on whether he has pets. While they favor men with dogs, the results showed that they also give me...

Almost half of US teens who date experience stalking and harassment

Falling in love for the first time can be a thrill, and teen dating is important to adolescent development. But according to the results of a study that my research team recently conducted, these early forays into romance often veer into unhealthy territory. CC BY-ND As many as 48% of 12- to 18-year-olds who describe themselves as having had a dating partner in the past year have also experienced dating-related stalking and harassment. Not only can dating-related stalking and harassment cause anxiety and depression in teens, but it can also be a harbinger for more serious forms of abuse should the relationship continue. Our study collected self-reported survey data from 320 adolescents from across the U.S. through the Survey on Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence. Youths with datin...

I Met My Husband Online — Here’s What Everyone Gets Wrong About Online Dating

  My husband and I met on the popular dating app. Many people have misconceptions about online dating, from it being only for the socially inept to there being an extreme stigma around it. Despite the challenges it can present, online dating can be a really rewarding experience that can end in long-term commitment.   Six months ago, I woke up hungover in a queen-sized room at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Salt Lake City. My eyes were swollen. My stomach felt sour. But, overall, I felt OK. I got more than eight hours of sleep, which isn't something most people can say the night before they get married. I sat on the bed watching "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" with an eye mask on, in hopes my dark circles would cease to exist. It was the Christmas card episode. Realizing...
