Decades ago it was far more common to pack your stuff and leave the family nest at an earlier age; there was a stigma for those who remained living at home, and were shunned by society as a result. These days, with struggling economies and higher costs of accommodation, it’s less unusual to find adults returning to live with their parents, perhaps after losing their job or a failed relationship. For the most part the prejudice surrounding this has died, but there’s still one area where this preconception is just as strong to this very day, and that’s dating. Many singles are afraid to admit that they live with their parents, and it’s true that a potential date might think negatively of anyone for who this is still the case. So we decided to take a look on Reddit to find the answer: is it really an instant deal-breaker if your partner discovers the situation? Read More…

The Best Christian Dating Books for Dating Couples to Read Together

But even if you do find someone who could be your true soulmate who also shares your creed, that doesn’t mean that dating will be a breeze.

Professional Photo Shoots to Perfect Your Online Dating Profiles
It goes without saying that profile pictures are your frontline soldiers in any battle on a dating site. Displaying an attractive image is crucial since you’ll need to stand out from hundreds of fellow singles. It does not matter that you are a funny, successful and caring person if your photos emit the wrong vibes. For example, bathroom selfies and filtered Snapchat images should belong on the blacklist, and it’s also common knowledge that beach or swimwear photos are more likely to attract creeps. Cooperation between analysts and Hinge also revealed that you can expect more buzz if you are portrayed during sport activities or enjoying a party at night, as they give the impression that there is a lot going on in your life. They also pointed out that online daters click on photos that are either in black and white or posed. Why? The answer is simple: they build interest and mystery in the viewer, therefore prompting them to contact you. Read More…
Is Online Dating Just for Losers?
Despite being around for more than two decades, online dating doesn’t seem to be able to shake of the stigma of being inferior to ‘normal’ dating, that meeting a person on the internet is a second rate method compared to asking someone out in a bar or club. These are, of course, unfair allegations, disproven by the rapidly rising popularity of the topic. Still, there are people who label online daters as losers just because they choose a more convenient way of establishing a contact with other singles. So let us shatter this myth once and for all, and show you that the only way of losing in the dating word is when you don’t do anything. Read More…
The Best Dating Social Experiments
Social experiments are a popular sub-genre of videos often featured on YouTube. Some call them an in-depth look into the ‘shadowy side of society’, while others consider them as no more than glorified pranks. The truth is probably between the two: social experiment videos are meant to test random people’s reactions to certain situations. For example, does a nerd have a chance to score on a Tinder date? How are fat people treated by their dates? And can you get more social benefits if you claim it’s for a date and not for food? Unfortunately most of these videos lack a satisfying conclusion, so we had to come up with the conclusion ourselves. Read More…
Kittenfishing: The Latest Fad in Online Dating
We don’t envy those who decided that this is the right time to jump into online dating, because they practically have to learn a second language. Phrases such as breadcrumbing, catfishing, benching or cushioning are thrown around by the community and every month a new fad appears. The current newcomer is ‘kittenfishing’, furthering the impression that all these phrases revolve around a pleasant afternoon in the park. However, the kawaii term hides a sinister phenomenon: kittenfishing is the diet cola version of catfishing, where singles make up fake identities to fool their partners. Although not as harmful, the lighter version may also lead to awkward moments and disappointment. Read More…
Should I Add Him/Her on Facebook? Instagram? Snapchat?
Quiz time: what’s the single biggest turn-off on a dating website? The answer: having to pay a membership fee. Although some people understand it’s a necessary evil – a required donation required to maintain a pristine service – many daters actively seek a way to trick or beat the system. In most cases your ability to communicate with your date in a meaningful way is limited unless you stump up the green. For this very reason, singles take advantage of the free registration to get in touch with someone attractive, only to invite him or her to another site where chatting is free. Since most of us are on Facebook, Tinder and Snapchat, why not continue bonding online there, right? Read More…
Saying No to Dating Violence and Reporting It
Dating violence is described as an abusive or controlling behavior practiced on purpose by someone in order to hurt their partner or scare them into submission. According to statistics, nearly 1.5 million high school students experience dating violence in one way or another, as do 43% of college women. Statistics also show that males can be victims as well, although this is undoubtedly a smaller percentage. Intimate partner violence is often ignored as ‘making a mountain of a mole hill’, stating that the attacker was simply ‘too persistent’ and the victim is just ‘overly sensitive and a prude’. These are completely misguided views that overlook the long-lasting psychological damage this kind of abuse can do. In short, dating violence isn’t a cheeky prank but a serious crime. Read More…
The Tale of the Dating Trolls
There may well have once been a stigma surrounding online dating, but over the past few years it has become a universally accepted form of courtship. Records show that in 2016 more than 15% of American adults have given a chance to online matchmaking services, which is a lower number than you’d expect. Yet the rapid year-over-year growth is a true testament of the success of online dating, which has seen a significant boost with the dawn of dating apps. Most singles are positive about online dating or at least acknowledge the effectiveness of the service. However there is a small minority regretting their fruitless endeavor, while others are seeing online daters as prank victims. Together they form the ‘dating site trolls’. Read More…
