Harlequin Romance
I have an aunt who loves Harlequin Romance novels. It always surprised me, since she's a very religious person and I somewhat assume that even if the language is more sexually suggestive than blatantly explicit, it'd be too racy for her. My mother always criticizes her for reading what she considers pure trash. Not to her face usually, although she did once refuse to read one of the tawdry tales that my aunt suggested she might enjoy.

Kissing Asian Lips
She came into my life not so long ago. Online dating was new and every smile received and email exchanged promised something that I had been searching for most of my life. Was I sure what I was looking for? No, not really. Did I meet someone special that I let pass by? Maybe that girl, that Chinese girl was the one. She was a professional dancer who came from China to seek a better life. She had long, thin legs and a beautifully sculpted body. Kissing her Asian lips was fire and ice and stirred passions that I never knew existed.

Communication and Online Dating
It goes without saying that one of the cornerstones of a good relationship is communication. How comfortable you feel discussing the thoughts that are passing through your head about your relationship, your day or your views of current events is essential. Without healthy communication a relationship is doomed.

I Want To Love You
Last week, I passed by one of my exes on the street and not a word was exchanged. I was on my way to get a drink at a place that we used to go to together in fact we even met there the first time. Later on, I think I possibly saw said former semi-serious fling skulking about the same bar, checking to see from across the room, if I was up to anything with anyone else. I wasn't, but I did pretend to be having the time of my life, even though I was just chilling out.

Finding and Arab Husband Ain't Easy
I have a number of Middle Eastern girlfriends. No, I’m not speaking of romantic connections, although I wish I was. You see, I’m really not their type—or I’m not what their family had in mind. “You need to find a good Arab husband,” I once heard a mother say, not knowing I was within earshot. Another girl complained to me that there just weren’t enough choices available for her through work and her social circle. I have tried to point them to Arab dating sites but there is still hesitation. Why would anyone hesitate when
love is on the line?

Abusive Relationships
I suppose when most people think of an abusive relationship they would think of physical violence. Those situations are, of course, terrible and thankfully I have never been involved in one of those. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to watch someone I cared about trapped in a situation like that. However, often a mentally abusive relationship can be just as painful and it can be so hard to recover from it.

Letting Go of a Relationship
Sometimes it can be really hard to know when it’s time to let go. People can tell you all they want—that you need to get out, dump them or move on. I have one friend in particular who sees everything as black and white. Everything for her is simple. Her sentences to me start “All you have to do is…” I would imagine if I could turn my feelings on and off the way she suggests that life would in fact be far less complicated.

Sexy Kiss?
I've made it sound as if I've been living my life as a total monk lately. However, to translate a popular French Canadian phrase to describe the physical needs that most people have regardless of sometimes wanting more or less in the romance department, I'm not made of wood. Nevertheless, as an adult, I think we all at times try to approach sexuality sometimes as if we're so very continental. In fact, we all have feelings that can be hurt no matter how detached we might like to be.

A Certain Romance
I am seeking a certain romance. I know what it is I’m looking for. I’ve felt it before—many times. However, most of those times came before the age of 25, before I began to get a grasp on love and life and how they were intertwined. I’m talking about the kind of romance you felt back in the days when puppy love kept you up at night. It’s the kind of all consuming romance that seems so shallow, in retrospect, but in another way speaks of a truth that embodies what love should be about: all-consuming passion for that one special person. Shouldn’t that be how every long-term romance should start?

Love Is Stronger Than Death
It is often said that love is stronger than death. Days like yesterday prove it. It was a normal day. Morning started with a ray of sunlight through my window. I staggered to my laptop to turn it on and then threw myself into a shower. Breakfast was made and I ate it while watching a rerun of 24. Work began as soon as the last seconds of the program ticked off and I buried myself deep into the chores of my day until I received a strange text just after 4pm.

Relationship Addiction
I used to be a relationship addict. I definitely thought whenever I was feeling down that what was lacking in my life was a romantic relationship. Any time, I managed to be romantically involved, there was always a sense of desperation to hold onto the romance, no matter, how badly suited I was for my partner, or the other person was to me.

Single Rich Men: Waiting for You, for Real
If you’re looking to meet single, rich men, then there has never been an easier time in history to do it. The growth of wealthy dating sites, where the rich (read overworked) men can spend some quality time shopping for Ms. Right, makes it easier to connect with successful men and women, although right now it’s mostly rich men that are the focus of these dating sites. Are you looking for that kind of special connection?

Kiss the Girl
How many times have I whispered that phrase to myself over the years? I’d find myself in a situation where things in a relationship were progressing to that point of first contact, yet frozen in fear, I’d wait for them to make the first move. Kiss the girl. What this boils down to is not about failed first kiss between new friends. It’s much more profound. This is about chances never taken in the arena of love. How many possible good relationships have you passed up because of chances never taken?
