Bonjournal: A Simple Travel Journal App Online Dating Checklist Lately I’ve been thinking about my online dating guide, particularly how it continues to grow and how all the information might be overwhelming to someone new to online dating. With that in mind, I’ve put together the following checklist that provides dating suggestions at a very high level based on the advice I provide in my dating guide. Where my guide goes into great detail into each area, this list keeps things simple for quick review. This list is broken down into the major areas of online date: beginning dating online, creating your online dating profile, the communication process, meeting and your first date and, finally, continuing dating online. Each of these sections contains information on how you should approach that phase of online dating. If you are interested in learning more about any of these topics be sure to check out my guide. Section 1: As You Begin 1. 2. 3. Section 2: Your Dating Profile 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Section 3: Communicating 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.
Should You Visit Raja Ampat, Indonesia? Indonesia’s Raja Ampat islands are far, even if you start your journey toward them from within the country. From Jakarta or Bali, for example, you must fly to the central Indonesian city of Makassar (or, in rare cases, Ambon) on the evening of your first day of travel to catch a connecting flight to Sorong, in West Papua province, departing at 3 or 4 o’clock the next morning. You’ll arrive in Sorong at around seven or eight, which gives you a minimum of six hours to kill until your ferry’s scheduled departure time – it will probably be late. An hour – or, more likely, two – later, you’ll be wherever in Raja Ampat you happen to be sleeping. I mention these facts and figures not only to discourage you from visiting Raja Ampat, if you’re thinking of traveling there yourself, but to emphasize the isolation of the islands, whose Indonesian name translates to “Four Kings.” This is good for many reasons.

A Weapon of Mass Seduction Hi guys. I started writing this during the fallout after the UCSB shooting and the #yesallwomen hashtag. I had a really rough go of it during that time -- which I'll touch on later -- in that the world in which we live started to feel deeply unsafe. It still does, but the feeling is more like background noise now, and I'm happy to say that since I've moved to LA I'm surrounded by a lot of good people, many of whom I can count on to look out for me in the way that decent human beings sometimes do for one another. Due to the bad mental space I was in at the time, I never quite finished this post, and then quite soon after that I was overwhelmed with the logistical realities of moving to a new city, so this never got put up. xo.AL The theme of "safety" keeps coming up for me lately. I participated. Reading the news, reading the hashtag posts, and sharing my own experiences was deeply triggering for me, to the point where I missed two nights of work because I couldn't stop crying. 1. 2. 3.
Stop The Heartbreak Cycle: 7 Dos and Don’ts For Handling a Break-Up “When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.” ~Unknown I’ve learned to be thankful for my first heartbreak. Of course, at the time of the crime I struggled to see anything positive in it. It was literally as if someone stabbed my heart; there was a problem that caused my body to stop working properly. In fact, I still think of him occasionally; it’s so hard to turn off. Like during any trauma your body faces, it tries to repair itself so it can be whole again. I became emotionally promiscuous. Normally my standards are that I date just one person at a time and don’t get intimate with anyone until I’m in a relationship. But now that my heart was hurt, all those rules were thrown out the window. I dated guys just to date someone. I wanted to display the image that I was fine, happy, healthy, and so over the perpetrator. Pretty soon he asked me to be his girlfriend. But I never did. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Personality In the Bedroom All aspects of our close relationships reflect our personalities, but perhaps none so strongly as sexuality. By the time we reach adulthood, each of us has formed a core set of beliefs and assumptions about our close relationships. Many of these beliefs developed very early in our lives, reflecting the mental images we formed as a result of the way others cared for us. Deakin University graduate student Christina Stefanou, working with psychologist Marita McCabe (2012), wanted to explore the question of whether people’s attachment to their parents becomes translated, once they reach adulthood, to their sexual relationships. You don’t need to be a dyed-in-the-wool Freudian to understand how such a process might occur. Traditional psychodynamic theory emphasizes the sometimes maladjusted ways that people project their feelings about their parents onto their current sex partners. A. B. C. We know from other research that people’s sexual fantasies similarly reflect their attachment styles.
A List of 100 Questions to Ask Your Partner on Date Nights Date nights for established couples can feel boring and stale if you talk about the same old topics all the time. Talking about work, the kids, or household repairs should not be the primary focus of nights when you’re trying to reconnect as a couple. So, here is a list of 100 — yes, 100 — questions that you can choose from to ask each other on your next dinner out. Use only two to three questions per date night, and really talk about the answers in depth. What is your favorite memory of dating me? Whew! Featured photo credit: Dinner Date via pulsd.com Why Clingy Partners Cling There’s nothing like the joy of a new relationship, when the road ahead seems sunny and bright. Your world becomes centered around this object of your latest passion, and you throw caution to the wind as you start to make serious plans. As Henry Alford wrote in the New York Times, it’s all too easy to become “heedlessly romantic,” ignoring the rules of etiquette, if not common sense, and get too close too fast. Alford’s article made me wonder whether the tendency to get into what I would call “bad, mad” relationships varies by an individual’s personality. The way we interact with our adult romantic partners, the research maintains, carries vestiges from our earliest relationships with our parents. If you are anxiously attached, you are overly sensitive to cues that your partner will abandon you. Building on Alford’s article with what we know about adult attachment style, it seems that people with an anxious attachment style should be particularly prone to bad, mad love.
7 Types of Women to Stay Away From. *Author’s Note: This is a response to an article written by Dina Strada, 7 Types of Men to Stay Away From. It seems like Dina wrote it from her heart, and based on the reactions I read on Facebook, many women agree with her. I have imitated her style and form in an effort to show another perspective, my perspective—a man’s perspective. As men, it’s too easy to assume women are what we see on the outside. Drawn in by her looks, a smile, we are quick to let our guard down and minimize any negative qualities. We can usually explain why we fall. It’s not surprising, then, that many men fall for the same types of woman over and over again, even it if always turns out the same way. Complete f*cking bullsh*t. If you stop and take an outsider’s look at your current relationship, you may realize you are in this pattern right now. Everyone can change, though, and who knows, maybe this time it will turn out differently. 1. This girl is just a few short qualities away from perfect. Stop now! 2. 3. 4.
