Your parents taught you not to call people names, like “jerk.” But let’s be honest, some people have earned this label for good reason.
If you’ve had bad luck in relationships, you might feel like a jerk magnet. Somehow, they keep finding you. But there’s a more plausible explanation—YOU are attracted to jerks, and YOU are the one responsible for breaking the pattern.

Honestly, your honey can’t kiss his or her way out of a paper bag. What’s a savvy single to do? Before you decide to ditch your pucker-challenged cutie, first give the following five tips a try. They may just turn a bad kisser into a pleasing and passionate lip locker.
It's time to get out there and find the person you've been waiting for.
1. You are no longer insecure about the way you look.
All the harsh criticisms that you heard before doesn’t bother you anymore. If someone broke up with you because of a flaw they saw in your physical appearance, then that’s their problem. You’re proud of who you are from inside out and you are never going to alter anything in your body. You still continue to walk with confidence knowing that somebody out there is going to fall in love with the way you carry and present yourself.
You have heard it said many times that communication is crucial for good relationships.
Few people would disagree that open, honest communication is important but that doesn’t mean everyone is willing or able to talk effectively.
Your relationship has run its course and you are ready to go your separate ways. But as much as you’d like to make a clean break, you are too spineless to actually sit her down and have “the talk.”

Plenty of movies and men’s magazines trade on the idea that the hyper-masculine “manly man” is what makes women swoon, but when you ask actual women what they find attractive, you'll find a lot of unlikely, cute or straight-up weird answers that veer away from what’s traditionally considered sexy in a man.
What women like in men is as varied and individual as each of us is, of course, but certain themes tend to emerge when women are given the mic to discuss what we’re really into.
Dating in the 21st century is a flurry of delirious anticipation. There's the potential to meet your future spouse on a number of online platforms at any time — I actually met my current boyfriend on Tinder! — with a simple one-sentence message.
On the other hand, the never-ending options sometimes make for a trying dating experience, because sifting through dozens and dozens of interests can mean missing the perfect connection. So when you FINALLY settle with someone you really, really love . . . it's all the sweeter.
Five women accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct in a New York Times report published on Thursday. Most of the allegations involved displays of masturbation without explicit consent.

Grand gestures and gifts are not unwelcome — who doesn't like to be spoiled every now and then? But it's not the material objects that truly prove to us how much you care.
As much as this is said, actions really do speak louder than words (and flowers!).
Perhaps you’ve heard it said that the best way to attract a fabulous partner is to BE a fabulous partner.
To take that principle a step further, if you want to attract someone who is magnificent “marriage material,” make sure that YOU are magnificent marriage material.
It is the uncomfortable question that your close friends and family usually will have no problem answering: “Why does he stay with her when it’s obvious they aren’t happy?”
That’s because they know you better than you know yourself — and your psyche is a master of disguise and camouflage, deflecting the kind of selfscrutiny you need to break free of the gravitational pull of a deadend relationship.
As you begin searching for a foolproof relationship, you might begin by qualifying the kind of partner you would like to marry and what they have to offer.
In fact, you probably have the ultimate checklist for what you want in a man.

Last year there was a report of occult practice and initiation in one of our most prestigious senior girls high schools in Ghana.

It feels like sh*t when you know that you have way more feels than your partner, but it’s something that happens to a lot of people.

If you have a significant other who's absolutely crazy about you, you probably already have an idea of how they feel. But there are many subtle signals that you might glaze over that indicate how much he or she loves you.
It's not about weekly flowers or store-bought presents; it's the things that make you feel like the most special person in the world.

There are hundreds of germs all around us but they are so small they are invisible to the human eye. However, when allowed to invade your body, they break down your immune system and may leave you sick, dying or dead.
