Bad Behavior On Dating Apps

Ghosting and ‘breadcrumbing’: the psychological impact of our bad behavior on dating apps. Every single day, thousands of people around the world use dating apps to strike up conversations with strangers, with the supposedly mutual objective of finding a partner. However, placing blind trust in others’ intentions is the first mistake that many users make – the person on the other side of the screen might not actually be in search of true love, or anything resembling it. In fact, several studies have highlighted that people use dating apps for all manner of reasons, ranging from conversation to just nosing around other profiles. When it comes to dating apps, the quest for true love is evidently the last thing on many people’s minds. Far from a utilitarian matchmaking tool, dating apps more...

Thriving While Being Single

Choosing singlehood? Here are 5 tips for thriving while being single. Many people spend their 20s and 30s figuring out who they are and building a life as an independent adult. At the same time, society often tells them they should be looking for love, settling down and starting a family. These milestones are still widely seen as markers of adulthood and success. But what does this mean for the growing number of singles in their 20s and 30s? In Canada, singlehood among young adults has been steadily increasing. Despite these changing trends, cultural narratives continue to centre romantic relationships as the ideal. Being single is still often seen as a temporary stage, rather than a legitimate or fulfilling way of life. As an associate professor, I lead the Singlehood Experiences and Co...

Setting Healthy Boundaries For Dating

Before you go on this date, make sure you are in agreement with yourself. You don't want to be caught fighting with yourself over a decision when you need to make one. Decide in advance what behaviors and situations will be acceptable to you and what won't. As long as you are comfortable and feel these boundaries have not been breached, you can relax and flow with what's happening. But, once a line is crossed, you must be willing to take control of yourself and not just go along with something you find uncomfortable, unacceptable, or dangerous. You're likely to be nervous when you're newly dating someone, and knowing what your boundaries are can help you be safe and get this relationship off to a good start. If you've decided on your boundaries in advance, and thought about how you'd handl...

Am I an “Old Maid?”

Am I an "Old Maid"? If this is a question you are asking yourself than there are some important things you should know first. Historically, an "Old Maid" is someone that is alone, shy, unsocial able, and shows no signs of changing that. People that usually fit this profile are not always happy with that they want to change; this is because they do not know how or are scared to try. This usually leads to unhealthy living habits, such as obesity, loneliness, obsession, and are easily lured into situations by people that take advantage of them. One way to avoid being an "Old Maid" is to be around people in social settings. No one says you cannot be alone and independent, but you should communicate with other people to keep current and avoid being lonely. The more you stay up to date without ...

Dating A Cancer Man

What sets a man born under the sign of Cancer apart from men born under other astrological signs? What makes him tick and what are his desires? If you're dating a male Cancer, you may find yourself confused by some of his behavior. They are a little harder to figure out than most, but if you are diligent and careful, you can crack them and experience what's inside.

In order to get beneath that tough exterior, you'll need to gain their trust and support them until they are ready to open up to you. It's not an easy task, but the Cancer man will be equally as supportive once you have broken through and he trusts you. Though it can be hard to get in at first, an open emotional relations...

What To Do If You Think Your Husband Is Having An Affair

Okay, so you suspect your husband might be straying. That sinking feeling in your gut is the worst, isn't it? Before you go full-on detective mode and start rifling through his drawers (tempting, I know!), let's take a breath and consider a few things. First, really consider the evidence. Are you basing this on a gut feeling, or are there tangible signs? Is he suddenly working late a lot? Has his phone become surgically attached to his hand? Has there been a noticeable shift in intimacy? Sometimes, our anxieties can play tricks on us, and what we perceive as red flags might just be him dealing with stress at work or going through a personal funk. If you've got some concrete evidence, or your gut is screaming loud enough to wake the neighbors, it's time for a gentle approach... maybe. A di...

So You Want To Have Your Cake And Eat It To In Your Relationship

Okay, so you're thinking about having your cake and eating it too, huh? In relationship terms, that usually means wanting something more without sacrificing what you already have. We've all been there, at least in our heads! But let's be real, navigating this territory is like walking a tightrope over a pit of misunderstandings and potential heartache. It's complicated, messy, and requires a whole lot of self-reflection. From one perspective, wanting "more" isn't inherently bad. Maybe you feel a spark with someone else that your current relationship lacks. Perhaps you crave a different kind of connection, a different type of adventure. It's human to be curious, to explore, and to wonder "what if." Suppressing those feelings completely can lead to resentment and a slow, agonizing decline i...

Is It Cheating If You Get Emotionally Involved With A Co-Worker?

Okay, let's dive into the murky waters of emotional cheating with a co-worker, and how it might affect your relationship with your boyfriend. It's a tricky area, and sometimes the lines aren't so clear-cut. So, can you emotionally cheat? Short answer: absolutely. Emotional cheating is when you develop a deep emotional connection with someone outside of your primary relationship, to the point where it starts to undermine that relationship. It's not necessarily about physical intimacy, but about sharing an intimacy – thoughts, feelings, vulnerabilities – that should ideally be reserved for your partner. Think about it this way: are you confiding in your co-worker about things you wouldn't tell your boyfriend? Are you seeking their validation or advice instead of his? Do you find yourself co...
