by Rebecca Jane Stokes for YourTango It’s more than words…. So you want to know how to tell if a guy likes you? Welcome to the club. I am 33 years old and when it comes to figuring out if a guy likes me, I’ve definitely considered sending a guy a note asking him to check yes or […]

By far the most common style of women’s online dating profiles is the Prince Charming Model. It includes list of things you love and need (your family, your morning coffee, and Anna Karenina); a photo that tries very hard to be appealing but not suggestive; and another long list of what you want in a […]
By TheAnatomyOfLove.com for YourTango Turns out there is a formula for attracting love … Love and attraction are arguably the most confusing of all human emotions. Poets write about them, philosophers ponder them, and virtually all humans actively seek them. Self-help guides and magazines are filled with tips, tricks, and suggestions to help you find […]
What? Tinder’s too slow for you? You’re fine with judging by surface attraction (after all, didn’t Oscar Wilde say only shallow people did otherwise?), but there’s still all that meeting and small talk and general dithering before you get to the Netflix and chill part of the evening. Wouldn’t you just like to cut to […]
We all have preferences for people we are attracted to, right? But have you ever wondered why certain types of people are just attractive and almost everyone’s type? In the world of online dating, especially, you are connected to various types of potential dates, yet there are some users who get more attention than others. The world’s largest […]
1. Beware of perfect morning hair. You can’t have uninhibited sex if you’re worried about messing up your hair (Robby). A aerosol-sprayed, rock-solid coif in the early A.M. after a night of supposed boot-knocking betrays a depth of vanity that rivals Donald Drumpf’s. Intimacy includes being and looking vulnerable: messy hair, no makeup, the […]
1. It’s alright to cry. Guys, emotions are your friends. Did you learn nothing from Rosey Grier singing on “Free to Be You and Me”? Or from Dolly Parton in “Steel Magnolias” when she said “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”? Okay, first you have to actually get through “Steel Magnolias” without killing […]

1. Small talk is an art form. In the car ride with Alex and JoJo to the goucho ranch, the silences were more painful than slamming your thumb in a car door or listening to the entire Rick Astley discography. You know things aren’t going well when your date moans like a cow in labor because […]
We had to wait two long, grueling weeks for the next installment of The Bachelorette, but last night’s reprieve finally, mercifully came. Sadly, it didn’t deliver on the Chad drama we were promised, but instead only made his Neanderthal ways seem somewhat justified in the face of an angry coiffed mob (we hate it when Chad […]
Last night’s episode of The Bachelorette could have (should have) just been the first group date in its entirety: a live storytelling event in front of an audience wherein each guy had to divulge some secret personal sex story. Wells apparently had a hilarious threesome story (complete with a fart punchline!), but we only got […]
Dear Em & Lo, HELLLLPPPP!!! So I’m recovering from a bad relationship and by luck, I just find someone new who is nurturing me to have good self-esteem and a good mindset and loves me and I love it. It’s more than what I could possibly ask for in life. Yet, he happens to have […]
It’s baaaaaaaack. The premiere of season 12 of ABC’s The Bachelorette found (the boobs of) Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher bouncing back from being very ceremoniously dumped on national television by milquetoast cousin of Miss Piggy, Ben Higgins, on the last season of The Bachelor. So we’re back to relieve you of some of the guilt you surely […]

It allows people to meet like-minded individuals when they would otherwise be unsure of whether the person they’ve just met will want the same thing. So, whether you want to take part […]
by Brad Browning for YourTango Do you THINK you’re in love? Or are you no longer sure? The happiness you felt in your relationship is quickly fading, and you’re starting to wonder if you’re actually content, or if you’re just putting up with it. While there are many different reasons why people choose to stay in unhappy […]
