love

Breaking up can be hard. There are a lot of emotions flowing, uncomfortable conversations, and of course the inevitable decision of whether to keep in contact or say, "Have a good life buddy." Whatever the situation may be, a lot of good can often come out of break ups. The more ridiculous they are, the better the stories someone has to share with their friends OR perhaps with Twitter.

The choice to begin a relationship is a biggie. So often we tell ourselves to not over-think that decision, to ~follow our hearts~, but sometimes our heart is just confused AF and then we have to effectively undo our spontaneous decisions. Seems harsh, but maybe it's still better than knowing you're not into it and stringing the other person along for months, maybe years? Decide for yourself.

Ah, Valentine's Day. You can smell the romance in the air. Or wait *sniff sniff* I think that's just pollution. Silly me. But for real whatever your relationship status, this Valentine's Day is going to be weird regardless. But one thing that will never change is the ability of Tumblr users to post the silliest, wittiest Valentine's day card meme. Now, let's laugh our way through this day, shall we? Because these are actually funny af.

Whenever Valentine's day rolls around, I can't help but remember the weirdest Valentine's day first date I ever had. This was a few years ago now, but it still feels like just yesterday, because it was literally wild. I agreed to go out with this guy from my gym, let's call him Doug. I was single and ready to be swept off my feet, so when he proposed a special Valentine's day dinner and dancing event, I was psyched! Only when I got there...it turned out to be a double date. WITH HIS PARENTS. And not like "oh we happened to bump into each other and decided to sit together." No. Turns out, he called them the second I said yes and ASKED them to come on a date with us. And so began the most painfully awkward night of my life…

Since we established the wonderful concept of Galentine's Day, being single, flirty, and thriving never looked better. After all, brunching, baking, and boozing with the homies is quite the ideal way to spend your Sunday Funday. Within the warm embrace of your best buds, you may think you're safe and sound from the wrath of disappointing men, yet you would be oh, so wrong. Given today's modern forms of communication, if these men want to find you on Valentine's Day, rest assured, they will find you. And if you let them back into your cold heart, they very well might kill you too.

Certain men that will slide into your DMs on V-day are of a different breed. And not in a good way. As the great Lil Wayne once passionately rapped, "love is in the air, so I hold my breath till my face turns purple." Best to hold your breath, lock up your heart - not to mention all your doors -  and avoid the following men like the plague.

So, it's Valentine's Day. Today a lot of people are thinking about their relationship status and reminiscing over past dates that either make them smile or crawl in a little hole. On a first date, people want to feel calm, cool and collected. But it's just not always possible. An awkward first date doesn't cancel out the possibility of a second date, but it sure does not feel good in the moment.

Ah, childbirth. One of the most common miracles that literally occurs every single second. I'm not kidding. There's an average of 250 babies born every minute, look it up! It's kind of like one of the secrets in life that everybody understands at their own pace. But once you know, you know. Some parents share it casually with their children, and some will create magical stories to distract their children from inevitably asking them what S-E-X means. Not today Charlie, it's time for bed.

Nobody can control their dreams, and it can be really frustrating sometimes, like when you're trying to run away from a monster and you are making no progress. Ugh, it's annoying just thinking about it. Sometimes dreams can be nice though, even pleasurable. Every so often you realize your true feelings for someone because they popped up in your REM. But sometimes you have an intimate dream that is just messed up. It happens to everyone, nothing to be ashamed of. Just... remember it's only a dream, right?

Valentines Day is just around the corner. If you're currently single, this day will only highlight just how alone you feel. Unless, of course, you're choosing not to be in a relationship, in which case then that too, is the reason that I am single. At least that's what I tell my mom. But if you're single because of other reasons (why doesn't anybody want me?!), then these memes are for you. All the single ladies, put your hands up!

Doing the deed can be very intimidating. Sometimes it can feel like an endless guessing game, constant trial and error for men. But really, most women would agree that it is much better to ask rather than go ahead assume you know what a girl likes. News flash! All girls are different. I know, isn't that crazy? You may think you have mastered the female pleasure system, but if you really want to succeed, you should just start from square one with each girl. It takes two to tango after all.

Let's talk crushes. We love them and we hate them. They're exciting in the beginning, "Oooh I have butterflies! I wonder if he likes me too!" But if they last too long they can become exhausting. A crush really should be a temporary state, but it depends on long it takes you to admit it to yourself and finally to them. 

Regardless, one thing is clear, whether they last one whole day or one whole century, crushes can be so embarrassing!

Okay, it's incredibly easy to make fun of Valentine's day. The holiday has no real historic purpose, and really only benefits consumerism. If you're in a committed relationship there is an immense amount of pressure to behave a certain way on this random day to 'prove your love' or whatever. If you're not really dating, but seeing someone,  it's just kind of awkward because you might not want to go so full-out so early on. If you're single, well, you get a whole day to really (over)think about that. 

The art of attracting a woman can be a very precarious feet. Women don't often give a lot away. However, there are no 'A for effort' trophies in the dating world. Just because a guy thinks that every girl wants his unsolicited d* pics, and he feels very proud after taking a full on photo-shoot and sending them to 10+ women, it doesn't mean that the girls will actually appreciate it. Spoiler alert: They never really will.

Reddit user u/baldskiisjesus asked the girls of Reddit to share things that guys do that they think is cool but is actually the opposite, and, as always, the ladies did NOT hold back.

It's almost Valentine's Day, and I'm getting ready for my yearly tradition: a scented bath, a bottle of vintage wine, feeding my crows and preparing the effigy of Clark Gable which I will burn in a forest with the rest of my coven as the clock strikes midnight and the spectre of St. Valentine bids us farewell. This is what we must do every year, as it is written. But recently I can't help wondering about the couple across the hall from my apartment. Charlotte and Mark have lived across from me for a few years now, and they're pretty nice and clearly in love, but they have some WEIRD traditions. I'm talking sh*t that you only see in movies, like going to the store to buy food instead of summoning it from the great beyond, or using electricity instead of lighting candles. Who doesn't use candles?? Anyway, I've just been thinking about all the crazy stuff they probably do for Valentine's day. Like…

Everybody has their own taste in men. Turn-ons and turn-offs can vary for each woman. Some people prefer outdoorsy partners, artistic partners, multiple partners. When you ask a woman what she likes it can be hard to squeeze an answer out of her. However, if you ask her what she does not like, she will be ruthless.

A very unique Super Bowl took place yesterday. An audience 2/3 full of cardboard cutouts, creepy backup dancers, and very very mixed reviews.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who watch the game simply to watch the game. But if you're anything like us, you would rather relish in the snacks, chuckle at the occasional snarky commercial, and, find ways to kill time until the halftime show. These days, however, there is also another component, the hilarious tweets that begin to roll out almost immediately. Whether you won, lost, didn't watch, don't have any idea what we're talking about — you'll probably still enjoy these witty tweets.
