Sometimes men get a bad rap for not noticing things, not paying attention to small details, and even just not listening in general. While I do often disagree with many of these generalizations, it is true that there are some things that we just don’t care about. But, they might not be the kinds of…

It has been said that relationships take work, and that is true. Anytime two people come together and mesh their lives into each other’s, there is going to be some effort required in order to feel out comfort levels, discuss similarities and differences, and find a balance. While I don’t like the term ‘work’ in…

I don’t claim to be an expert on anything. I am not a ‘guru’ or a seer of any kind who can see the future, I am just a guy who likes to think he has a grasp on how human interactions work. That being said – I also like to think I can spot…

I was talking to a friend of mine earlier about her current dating situation, the subject of challenges we all face in life, and how a significant other will handle them. She is in the very early stages of seeing someone, but those stages are still there to teach you about a person. A lot…
