Why Men Commit
One of my readers came across this article asserting that men decide to marry based more on timing than love.

This Chemistry is Killing Me!
You know what drives me nuts? Justifying obvious red flags because “chemistry” has turned your brain into cat food.

Post Date Wrap Up
“They had such a cool way of looking at the world. I really admire that. Not sure they’re really my type, but I want to give them another chance. I think I could grow into being more attracted…”
