The idea of friends with benefits is one that has been epitomized over the ages with Seinfeld and That 70s’ Show, plus many many other media outlets and college campuses. It never seems to end well and it is always much more complicated than it seems it should be.
Last week I was giddy at the idea of a new love or at the very least a new crush. The new budding relationship is always fun and exciting. That is, until it’s not.
If you’re doing great and you and your new fling are destined to be soul mates, great, good for you, blah blah blah. I’m not bitter, just mildly perturbed at your good relationship when I’m single.
Turning it into something meaningful...
You’ve gone on the first date, you’ve played the games and now you’re spending time together. A lot of time together. A dinner that starts at 6 p.m. turns into conversation and goes until 1 or 2 in the morning, without you ever knowing that it’s that late.
For some of us, it’s when we turn 18 and can buy cigarettes or when we turn 21 and can finally drink. For others, it’s a defining moment when we realize that we’re on our own and that’s life.
We’ve all been there. The alarm goes off 25 minutes too late, or the coffee machine is broken and you slept on your neck wrong to the point where you can barely move it, oh, and it’s a Monday.
Here are some quick ways to make sure your morning gets off to a good start, giving the rest of your day a fighting chance.
Wake up 15 minutes earlier.
Break-ups suck, being single can be awesome but also awful, and meeting someone you might be interested in and having them be interested in you? That’s a whole other game in a whole other sport.
We can’t be single forever, although it is tempting sometimes, and eventually some guy is going to come along and ask you out for a date and you’ll say yes and you might even get your hopes up.
