What did you want to be when you were a kid? How did you envision your life unfolding? Maybe you wanted to be an astronaut, or a firefighter, or a professional wrestler or…whatever. Me? I wanted to be a race car driver, and an actor. A-la Patrick Dempsey. But alas, there is only one…
Relationships are perhaps our most valuable asset in life, besides time. And while there are many different types of relationships, the person we choose to commit ourselves to intimately, may be the most important decision you can make. While I’ve always said that the most important relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself, your significant other…
I am a big fan of social media. Without it, I’d have missed out on many transformative relationships, experiences, and opportunities throughout my life. I’m sure many of you can relate. But since nothing is perfect, there are parts of social media and the general direction of modern society that makes me cringe just a…
Have romance and courtship and chivalry been squashed by promoting equality between the genders? Of course we should all be treated with equal respect, but when does it start to blur the lines of gender roles in dating? Do gender roles actually make dating *better?* You do not want to miss this conversation. In this…
Ah, romance. The stuff seemingly only found in history books and black and white movies where men wore three-piece-suits and called women “darling.” An era not without flaws, of course, and it’s easy to see that society has evolved in strides even throughout the past few decades, but it’s arguable that not everything has been an…
In the premiere episode of New School Romance, host James Michael Sama discusses widespread frustrations with the state of dating in today’s day and age. Are chivalry and romance dead? Are they ever coming back? Should we even work to bring them back? And, if so, how do these things look in modern society compared to…
The internet (and this website)…is home to countless articles, videos, and quotes about being in a happy relationship. Not settling for less than you deserve. Texts to send a guy to make him fall in love with you. Questions to ask women that’ll get them talking to you. Blah, blah, blah. Like much of our…
I’m going to be a bad millennial by writing this article, but I’m pretty good at being a bad millennial, so I’m cool with it. For the record, if you’re under 35, you’re still classified as a millennial. Sorry, 34 year olds. This is something I’ve been thinking about for awhile now though, and I…
As someone who speaks to people across the world every day about dating and relationships, I can confidently say there is a growing dissatisfaction with the “state of the date” these days – and – I probably didn’t have to tell you that. I didn’t have to tell you, because odds are you’ve been experiencing…
I’d like to start this off with a disclaimer. Of the 1,000 pieces of content (articles and videos) I’ve created over the past 4 years, 95% of them have been focused around women and how to help their dating challenges. This one, is about men. So, I would ask you to refrain from commenting things…
If you want easy, simple, or convenient, then dating these days is perfect for you. Some people may read this and immediately recoil at the idea of dating being ‘easy’ or ‘simple.’ They will rant about how things are so complicated now and how nobody wants any commitment and is just looking to hook up,…
Odds are, if you’re reading this, you have Tinder’d or Bumble’d Coffee-Meets-Bagle’d or Luxy’d or Raya’d until you’ve been numb in the thumbs. I know I have. If you can relate, that also means you might be falling into the same trap that a lot of different people seem to be caught in these days:…
