All of this online swiping, liking and texting has thrown a wrench into the traditional rules of dating, not to mention given us a whole host of other things to worry about. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial for you to be on high-alert when it comes to finding that perfect someone. So with that in mind, we decided to put together a list of online dating red flags.
11 Online Dating Red Flags You Should Never Ignore — The number of people using dating apps has reached an all-time high and will likely continue to climb as more and more people are willing to put themselves out there, the stigma around dating apps diminishes and people become more pressed for time to meet others organically in more traditional ways.
It’s important to know not everyone is genuine or means what that they say on their profile, or messages (this is true for offline as well). Even apps like Bumble that claim to put women first can actually be used to trick women into hookups. Being patient, asking questions, and learning to use good judgment are needed to reduce bad experiences on and off the apps.
Most Popular Books In 2022 According to Goodreads — To make this list, we looked at the most popular books on Goodreads. Goodreads is the world’s largest online platform for readers to rate, review, and recommend their favourite books to friends and the community. All of these recommendations have been published in 2022 and are ranked by how often they’ve been added to readers’ “Want To Read” shelves.
Self-Care: 12 Ways To Start Taking Care Of Yourself Today — When life gets busy it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. But practicing self-care can have great benefits for your mental health. Don’t feel guilty about taking time to care for yourself. It’s not selfish to make your health a priority. You will be better able to help others when you are your healthiest.
How to practice self-care is different for each person and can be different from day to day. An act of self-care for one person could actually be triggering for someone else, such as visiting with family. The important part is to find a balance of activities that work for you.
Editor Picks
The 5 Best Ways To Eat Mindfully When Working From Home — It is certainly nice to roll out of bed and head to your work-from-home desk. However, working from home doesn’t come without its own struggles. While a packed lunch or a restaurant meal is the norm in an office setting, at home, with a full kitchen just a few feet away, it’s easy to fall into the habit of mindless eating and snacking throughout the day.
The Paris Apartment Book Review — This is a novel that will be popular with readers. Rife with dark family secrets and corrupting family dysfunction, the ambiance, the characters, the plot, and the satisfactory ending all serve to make it an excellent thriller read.
The Five Different Argument Styles in Relationships — The past couple of years have popularized the idea of understanding your attachment style, identifying a partner’s perceived narcissism or ranking their emotional intelligence. But perhaps one of the most useful patterns in human behaviour that we can apply to our relationships touches on a subject that is inherently fraught: how we argue.
You probably know how you typically feel during an argument, or certain things you’re likely to say, but do you know where you fall on the spectrum of argument styles? Probably not-and that’s okay! — but it’s not a bad idea to understand how you argue.
