    She acts like she’s my mother

    Thursday, 23 May 2019 by SBM
    I recently heard a guy complaining about his girlfriend. Apparently, she constantly nags him about doings and what she wants from him. Now normally in these situations, guys are quick to sympathize, as we’ve all had the experience of a nagging girlfriend. But I want to propose a different idea: Maybe you’re acting like a

    You have to impress me too, ya know

    Wednesday, 06 February 2019 by SBM
    Dating is funny sometimes. Although I wasn’t alive in previous generations, it’s still quite interesting to look at the contrasts between modern courting and the courting the previous generations went though. I appreciate the number of women out here who are no longer impressed by the materialistic and genuinely look at a man’s character. There

    The Case for the Pre-Date – A Man’s Perspective

    Monday, 28 January 2019 by SBM
    Hey folks! Happy New Year! I’ve been slacking on the blog but I’m getting back on the horse. There has been an article floating around the internet: So, What’s A Pre-Date Anyway? It came out last year, but seems to be making its rounds again (at least, on my social feeds anyway). I wasn’t going to

    That was short-lived…

    Monday, 24 September 2018 by SBM
    Remember a while back I reconnected with a young woman name Tyla who was polyamorous? Well, that dating journey has already come and gone. In the beginning, we spoke about polyamory and what we both wanted. Now I normally don’t date polyamorously, but I knew that if I were to go full bore into that lifestyle,

    Some lessons from polyamory

    Thursday, 13 September 2018 by SBM
    I’ve learned a couple things since I started dating Tyla a few weeks ago. If you recall, Tyla is full on polyamorous. Although this term has gotten much more popular, I still feel it’s best to define what it means. Polyamorous in general means simply being involved with more than one person romantically. I’m not

    It’s too early to be completely honest

    Monday, 10 September 2018 by SBM
      Honesty. We all say we want it, but do we really want complete honesty all the time? I honestly doubt it, but that’s a discussion for another day. There is an unspoken truth in the dating world: It’s better to lie or keep certain things private when initially dating someone. I know, that’s a

    I Deserve Better! – Yeah? So what?!

    Thursday, 16 August 2018 by SBM
    I hear a lot of women say that they deserve this or that. I honestly have always found it strange. Never in my life have I said anything to the effect of, “I deserve some dessert because I had a hard day”. Honestly, the phrase “I deserve…” I have rarely heard come from men. Why

    The Interrogation

    Thursday, 02 August 2018 by SBM
    Has this ever happened to you… You’re talking to someone (either in person or online), and it feels like you’re interrogating them? Or maybe it’s the other way around and you feel you’re being interrogated? Here’s a quick example…. “Where you from?” “New York” “Oh ok, cool. I’ve been there a few times” “That’s cool”

    Commitment…. gone wrong

    Monday, 30 July 2018 by SBM
    I figured after the previous post, it would be a good idea to speak on what happens when the proper commitments are not made. So here it goes… In my most recent relationship, I was 100% committed to her and the relationship. Before she and I had even met, I told myself that I wanted my

    Commitment

    Thursday, 26 July 2018 by SBM
    I could write several posts on this single word (and probably will). We hear it all the time, “I need commitment”, “they’re afraid to commit”, “why can’t people just commit?”, etc. I’m sure you’ve either heard or said some variant or another of these phrases. Having been in committed relationships where I was fully committed
