The line between dating and hanging out, is a fuzzy one. I feel like no matter who I describe outings with the opposite sex to, no matter how I describe them, only two responses are elicited:

“Oh so you guys just hung out?” “Wow, sounds like that was a date!”

This happens so often to me that I feel like it’s not really a dating life I’m leading, but rather, a spending-a-substantial-amount-of-time-with-the-opposite-sex life. It’s a mouthful, I know. In my earlier days of spending-substantial-amounts-of-time-with-the-opposite sex, I used to always stress out over whether or not I had experienced…a date. Instead of fretting over the mystery, I’ve gradually resolved to accepting things as they were. Sure, this is frustrating but I’ve grown used to this and am pretty relaxed when it comes to dating.

From Flauntme: The history of lipstick started long ago, by some of the most powerful women. Some crushed insects, stones and plants to give off the appearance of youth and health. Did this get the attention of acceptable male suitors, or even seduce them? Some believed it did. In 1770, England’s parliament passed a law against lipstick, believing that women who seduced men into marriage by wearing makeup, should be tried as witches. More »

Sure, sometimes love can be a little tough, but as soon as your significant other starts talking about shipping out to stop an alien invasion, or talking about rescuing the princess you can be sure of two things: You’re either dating someone delusional, or a video game character. Here a 5 tell tale signs to look for. More »

I don’t care what video game haters and protesters say - video games are educational. They can teach you better hand-eye coordination, decision making, leadership skills, and, perhaps most importantly of all - dating secrets.

Why else would Harvest Moon be around for so long? Do you really think that it’s the exciting premise of waking up every morning to do chores, raise and water crops, and pull weeds from your farm? Of course not! It’s the dating and courting aspect that makes the game so appealing. Every Harvest Moon game is about two things: farming, and getting married. But you don’t just pick a girl you like and marry her. You have to win her heart, increase her affection towards you, and only then can you try to push your relationship beyond “just friends” to “just married.”

I think some men need to play Harvest Moon, to learn a thing or two. Here are 7 lessons that Harvest Moon teaches you about dating and winning a woman over (and please note that while these are addressed at men, and are about women, most of them can be applied to either sex). More »

From Flauntme: To kick off our special dating series, I’m going to cut right to the chase: a girl needs to be careful when choosing her date-night beauty products.

Then there is, of course, the danger of smudging your gloss during that end-of-the-night kiss. Here are three secret weapons to prevent makeup mishaps! More »
