TLF With Your BFF

I remember a long time ago, when I asked my mom who her best friend was, she told me, “Dad.”
This puzzled me, because in my mind best friends were playmates, not romantic interests. And yet, as I grew older I realized that a romantic interest is just an extension of a friend—they are not two separate categories. You can’t love someone who you don’t know.
The first thing two people notice about each... READ MORE
The Trouble With Fairy Tales

Much as I like it, dating can be really tough.
I know a couple (I’ll leave their names out because I think the girl might be a bit embarrassed about the whole thing. Not that I am her or anything. But even if I was her, would that matter? And anyway this story is totally not about me. Not that it would be anybody’s business if it was.) ...

Dating will never be the same again. Twentieth century dating brings with it novelties, and possibilities that would have been almost unbelievable two centuries ago. One of the most obvious changes is the “long distance relationship.”
Think about it. A long distance relationship is really unnatural. (I’m in one myself.) A couple years ago, a man met and married the girl up the street—the one who he... READ MORE
Dating Is Not a Chore

I like dating.
A friend of mine in college told me once, “Dating is overrated.” A lot of people seem to think that it’s just a necessary evil: a stepping stone that you have to take so you can be married.
They bemoan the indecisive in-between stage where you’re floating between questions like, “How much time do we spend alone?” and “How much do we include other people in our relationship?”
There’s... READ MORE
