You’d think it would be so easy. If someone texts you, text them back. If someone calls you, call them back. If someone DMs you, message them back. So why, then, have so few men got the message? Angelika was sure her new love interest was ignoring her. She’d left him a number of messages on Facebook, and he never replied. Lola wrote lovely texts to her guy, full of exclamation points and emojis, and all she ever got back were an “ok” or “sure” or “c u then.” Callie would call

The first rule when it comes to texting women is to always be straightforward. Here’s a simple truth: From the moment you exchanged numbers with her, she already knew you wanted to hang out and have a good time. If you decide to wait two days or a week before contacting her, thinking she’ll be filled with excitement when she hears from you, you’re simply delaying the inevitable. Besides, from the time you got her contact info to the time you eventually contact her, she would

Each human being is hardwired to find certain traits attractive. In our youth, those things are different — they’re part of evolution, really. Science teaches us that our reptilian brains want us to seek out partners for reproduction, searching for the mate who will help us make more replicas of ourselves. But over time, those qualities are less necessary and, also over time, often less attractive. A well-regarded study on mate value from Mexico State University notes that wo

The lipstick, the eyeliner, the blush, the mascara, the foundation, the eyeshadow, the eyebrow pencil, the concealer, the primer, the bronzer, the contour, the highlights, the works. Did I miss anything? Makeup is so complicated. There are just too many things to keep track of. It’s so hard having to be a woman. You have to remember a lot of this stuff and your efforts don’t always pay off. So many girls will go overboard with their makeup to the point that men will think it’

Attraction is a very tricky thing. Yes, there might be certain standards of attractiveness that are present the world over. However, it’s always a “to each his own” kind of situation. We all have our own specific tastes and preferences. We aren’t always going to like the same things. And that’s okay. We are all individual human beings with our own personal likes and dislikes. That’s why even though you might like a particular person, not everyone you know is going to like tha

The digital age is, for the most part, uncharted territory. One person leading the exploration of this new romantic frontier is Writer, Director and Filmmaker Jonah Feingold. In this interview, Mr. Feingold gives us his take on what makes a good Romantic Comedy, why it’s important to be transparent, and how dating is more of a game than it ever has been before. On his work in the Romantic Comedy film space: At the heart of every movie is relationships. I want to make films th

I was lucky to grow up with two parents who pushed me and my brothers equally to achieve our goals in life. My father always told me that, in order to be successful, I had to work at things — the second I slacked off or stopped advocating for myself, I’d be surpassed by someone who hadn’t slowed down. So I took that advice and applied it to my entire life: I landed my first job four months before graduating college; I shifted my career focus from beauty to relationships; and

Self-love gives you the courage to walk away Most of us have been in situations where we’ve loved someone enough to work hard at keeping the relationship moving forward and hurdling through all obstacles. Others of us have made the decision to throw in the towel, knowing that loving ourselves is much more important than continuing to deal with a relationship that brings more negative feelings than positive. I’m in the group that threw in the towel. My ex and I had a child tog

Well, we can not travel, yet, it does not mean that we can not escape the routine of our flats or homes and treat our partners. Here are 4 romantics getaways in London. Enjoy and stay safe! The Mandrake, Fitzrovia What makes the Mandrake so special is its truly immersive atmosphere – guests enter through a dark tunnel and emerge into a rainforest lobby complete with a vaulted ceiling and showstopping chandelier. Book into a room here for an experience that will tantalise the

Some red flags dudes may see that you don’t. I’ve often heard the phrase, “It’s so hard to meet guys.” Or similar sentiments from my lovelorn friends. Yet there are so many people looking for love in the same city, town, or small English hamlet. So from where does this belief that it is impossible to meet anyone in the real world arise? Have you ever felt the same way? Sorry to break it to you, but you are mostly likely part of the problem. Without meaning to you’ve sabotaged

In need of some rest and relaxation? We can’t blame you. Whether it’s the post-holiday blues or the grim weather, the start of any year tends to be a bit of a challenge. But fear not. We’ve got just the thing to get you through. Honfleur, France Normandy is another place that should be better known for its spa breaks. Tucked away in Honfleur, a port city in Normandy, is La Ferme Saint Simeon Hotel Spa, which was once frequented by impressionist artists. Drawing on the natural

Get ready for a better response rate. Early in my career as a copywriter, I learned something useful: If I wrote something that did not work, it was not in my best interest to write the exact same thing again. And yet, it’s what texters everywhere do when trying to get a response from someone they’re into. Hey Hey Hey Stop it. You sound like the mashup of a 7-year-old and a horse. Never fear, my clueless friend. If your texts constantly get crickets in response, you have come

AND IT IS NOT QUITEE LIKE IN THE MOVIES! Books and movies have long perpetuated the idea that there’s this one single person who’s destined to be with you forever. This idea doesn’t always seem very realistic and the concept of soulmates can be a polarizing one, especially because everyone has its own definition. But if you have a not-so-strict definition of the term soulmate — someone who you know instinctively, who gives you a sense of peace yet allows you to grow as a pers

The secret to spice up your sex life Making porn with your partner is the perfect way to spice up your sex. With that being said, it takes a great deal of trust and consent between both participants. If you have enough trust with your partner, making porn with them can take your sex life to the next level. The best thing about making porn with your partner is no one needs to know except you and them. There’s something extremely sensual about watching yourself be vulnerable an

My boyfriend and I made the mad decision to share a place of residence about four months ago (just over a year into our relationship). We merged eggcup collections, bought new sheets, adopted a puppy. We made bottom-dents in our sofa, crowded the shower floor with bottles, learned to wake up together each morning. If you’ve ever lived with a partner, you know all the little joys and quirks and squabbles. If you haven’t — well, please enjoy a chronological succession of the th

The dating scene could be a confusing place in world where at least some social distancing seems likely for the foreseeable future. And while many people will have maintained or begun contact with romantic partners online during lockdown, video chats and text messages are clearly not a long-term substitute for intimate (or even non-intimate) physical contact. To see how these sex differences were evident in online opposite-sex dating, we conducted a study in which participant

When I first started dating, I believed attraction was an art. A beautiful mosaic that two people painted together, each with their unique brush strokes and favorite hues. I still believe this to some degree. It’s two intricate, complex humans coming together to create something equally intricate and complex. . This view of attraction as art suited me in the early years. I was never much of a math/science person. I naturally gravitated towards the humanities and would run rap

I love men. I’m often asked whether I offer dating and relationship coaching for single men dating after 40. I don’t. But I DO help men by helping women who are dating after 40. (It really is ALL about you, ladies!) One of the most transformational ways I support women is by helping you better understand GROWNUP men. The vast majority of these guys are not the self-centered, testosterone-led, immature boys you met (and maybe married) in your 20s or 30s. Like you, the men you’

Newly single Sophia Money-Coutts reports from the frontline of the 30-something dating scene, where she’s encountered all of the following... Dating in your twenties is easy. Not everybody’s married, there’s more choice than at a cheesemonger’s. But, BANG! You hit 30 and the men seem to dwindle. I recently went to a wedding where there were 27 single women and two single men. But don’t panic – the good news is there are still some out there; the bad news is that they’ll likel
