How Do You Know If He Only Wants to Hookup?

June 22, 2015/in Date Tips, For Her, For Him, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Adrienne Shih

Sometimes men will do anything to get women to hookup with them, but there are several dead giveaways that many men will use. I might have, dare I say, even used all the common material in the books to get women to hook up in the past.  So, why am I sharing this information with you? Well, I pledged to help women with their dating lives and give them the opportunity to meet Mr. Right and know when to spot a Mr. Wrong.
So, how can you tell if a guy only wants to hook up?

  1. He only texts or calls you at night.

Unless he is nocturnal and sleeps during the day in preparation for his job at night, there is no excuse for him to text you after 10 p.m. unless its for a booty call.  As a pickup artist, I’ve seen guys who only text girls at 2 a.m. on the weekend because the chances of him getting in touch with a drunk and horny girl were greater.

  1. The Conversation takes a sexual turn

If you happen to be talking to a guy and the conversation always turns sexual very fast, know that he only wants to hook up with you.  In a pickup, a surefire way to turn things sexual is through sexual innuendo (think suggestive puns and double entendres). Not only will you avoid the dreaded  friend zone, but you will also get the other person thinking about sex.

  1. He’s on Tinder

We all know it: Tinder has become an infamous app used mainly for locating late-night hookups. I mean, if that’s your thing, go for it…but the chances of you meeting a nice guy to settle down with are extremely zero to none.  In my life, I’ve only heard of one female friend who has met her boyfriend via Tinder. But let me tell you this: she is definitely the exception, not the rule.  The rule is simple: Men on Tinder are primarily looking to get laid.  Don’t think that you can change a Rico Suave into a man who is boyfriend material.  If you yourself are on Tinder, know exactly what you signed up for, and just have fun with it.
How else do you know if guys only want to hookup?  Share with me in the “comments” section below.

Can You Want The One You Already Have? The Secret To Long Term Desire

September 25, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

“I want you to be my best friend, and my trusted confidant and my passionate lover to boot, and we live twice as long [as we ever have].”
Have you ever thought about how much we ask of our partners? In her TED Talk, Psychologist Esther Perel sheds some light on the difference between love and desire, why our imaginations are so important to a lasting, passionate relationship, and why we have got to stop asking our partners to do the work of a whole village.

Via: Esther Perel and TED.

9 Unforgettable Things Robin Williams Taught Us About Love and Dating

August 20, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Alina Polishuk

Robin Williams, as we know, was a man of many talents. In one movie the actor and comedian would have us doubled over with tears of laughter, the next, he could have us weeping with tears of sympathy. Though his death last week is shrouded by tragedy, Williams’ legacy will not only live on through his work, but also through the messages his caricatures left in our minds. Here are a few classic Williams moments that taught us essential lessons about love, relationships, and life.

1. Always be ready to go when your date arrives

2. Always try to make a good first impression

3. …So protect your best pick up lines with your life

4. First dates can be fun! …Sometimes

5. Love can be found in the most unusual places

6. And if you really like someone, don’t beat around the bush

7. Life can feel full of gloom after a bad break up

8. But, fear not. Once you find someone new you’ll feel something like this:

9.  But most importantly, don’t hesitate to make the first move, text back right away, or tell her/him “I love you.” Life is short, so seize the day.


Rest in peace, Mr. Williams. We thank you for your lessons, in both love and life.
