romance

What's the best part of a romantic comedy? If you said "the big kiss at the end," you're an idiot who is so wrong. No, the best part of a rom-com comes in the middle when our feisty leading lady finds a purpose or decides to get her life together and 👏 focus 👏 on 👏 herself! Sure, the brief self-actualization and confidence boost pales in comparison to the delirious happiness she gets from the man who makes an honest woman of her, but how would we KNOW she couldn't be happy without him if she didn't try? Anyway, as someone in my pre-getting-my-life-together phase, I've compiled a list of how different rom-com leads try to turn their lives around. Let's give these a try, ladies!

Choosing your wedding photographer is a decision that every couple should take seriously. After all, they are the ones who will be creating the physical memories of your special day, which you'll (hopefully) look back at fondly for the rest of your life. But sometimes, photographers can miss the mark and leave you with some real horrors, such as this collection of wedding and engagement photo nightmares. Whether it was the couples who directed the shots, or the photographers who had the awful ideas, I can only look at these through squinted eyes. The further down I scroll, the more I lose hope in Cupid, love, and all things romance.

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.

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…

Nothing says, "I love you" more than a great relationship meme to send to your significant other. But also, nothing says, "I'm single and alone" more than a great relationship meme your mom sends you. So whichever category you fall into, here are some funny relationship memes you can relate to hard. And then share with your partner. Or, your mom.

We know how much you all love relationship memes, so here's a fresh haul for all you love birds. But also, for all you single ladies. We haven't forgotten you too. So whether you're blissfully happy or you're blissfully unattached to anyone right now, these dating memes are both funny and relatable and will speak straight to your soul.

They say that if you go searching for love, you won't find it. Instead, it's best to focus on living your best life, and the right one will present themselves in the most unexpected circumstances. But sometimes, love can manifest itself in a way you never thought possible even when you search for it. One couple who knows a thing or two about this are Twitter users @KatieKatCubs and @TBrown_80, who have just got engaged three years after meeting on Twitter. Terry replied to Katie's tweet about her despair in finding a man, telling her that the best place to find love was Twitter. He wasn't wrong! Read their crazy story below.

All women hope for grand romantic gestures from their men, which lets them know exactly how much they love them. But men appreciate acts of love too and the men of Reddit have shared the most romantic things that the women in their lives have done. We may or may not be wiping away a tear!

The world is changing before our very eyes, and with that, so is love. Here are some all-too-relatable tweets about love and romance in the time of COVID-19, about dating, isolation, and marriage. It's all turned upside down and we wonder if love will ever be the same again after this 

We challenged our users to give us their best coronavirus pick-up lines because romance shouldn't stop during a pandemic. Just as long as you use them on the internet or from at least 6-feet away, this whole corona saga could bring the romance back! But based on these lines, maybe not... you can be the judge!

Happy Valentine's Day! Today we celebrate love in all forms and it's a beautiful thing. When it comes to the love department, one source of inspiration I like to turn to is my favorite sitcom, "The Office". Not only is it is brilliantly genius, but a lesser-known fact about the show is how many pearls of wisdom on love and relationships it actually contains. Here are some of the most profound quotes from Michael Scott and his crew that teach us all the important lessons we need to know about love.

Oh and if you love the Dunder Mifflin crew as much as me, check out our previous post on Couples From "The Office" Who Inspire True Love?

Valentine's Day is a day to tell you the person you love (or casually sleeping with) how you truly feel about them. But sometimes it's hard to articulate your emotions and these eCards do a great job at expressing the things that we wish we could say, but can't. You know, because social conventions and all that. And who knows, they might even inspire you to make a declaration of love (or lust) to your special someone this Valentine's Day. 

"The Office" is, in my opinion, one of the best sitcoms to have ever been created. A show that has become a household classic, we have been blessed with nine seasons of laugh-out-loud, cringeworthy and heart-warming moments. Its genius lies in the way we get to know and fall in love with the characters and their idiosyncrasies as the show progresses. From Jim and Dwight's constant pranking to Michael's compulsive need to be adored by everyone, the characters and their interactions are understandable and relatable to the masses. 

But most of all, I think the show is about the complex pursuit of love. "The Office" shows us just how painful but beautiful it can be to find and maintain true, lasting love. In honor of the lead-up to Valentine's Day, here are some of the show's most famous couples' and the journeys they went on to find love with each other. 

January is finally over (my god, I thought it would never end!) and the month of love is upon us.

Following the success of my last post about New Year's Resolutions, I'm so excited to share my much-requested tips on how to create the perfect Valentine's Day which requires zero effort from your partner and still gives you everything you want and deserve. But first, here's a quick update on what I've been up to since you last heard from me.  

A sincere, heartfelt love note can mean the world -- to a certain type of person. But if that kind of traditional romance makes you queasy, then we've got you covered. Below, we've compiled 15 honest Someecards that say more than a Hallmark greeting card ever could.
