Is Cheating Subjective?

One of the many discussions I’ve had with the boyfriend is the subject of cheating.
What constitutes cheating? What can be classified as cheating? Is cheating subjective or do we follow an unspoken rule? Do rules on cheating differ when two people are just dating than when these two are in a relationship?
Dodgy as it may […]

Guy’s POV: The Ladies Asking the Guys Out

I’m sure this is one topic that’s been talked about a hundred of times but I just wanted to share a bit on the conversation I found myself in over the weekend. I was hoping I could share the source’s name but I’m sworn to keep his identity a secret, simply due to privacy. I […]

Just How Much Should A Typical Date Cost?

I’ve been writing for Dating Dames for quite a bit now but I never really thought of asking this question. Silly, huh? But, now, I’m making it a point to open up this discussion.
Just how much does a typical date cost nowadays?

Reveal Flaws to a New Date?

Question: Is it considered honest to show a guy your flaws when you just started dating? Or will it just scare him away?
Tough question, I should say.
Personally, it’s not totally about revealing flaws but knowing that you’re not simply acting a certain way to get him to keep dating you. Know what I mean?
Like what […]

Think Twice before Dating this Guy (A Series)

Guy #1
You meet a guy. He’s nice, a bit stand-off-ish at times, and smart. Perhaps he can even be cute in your book. Best part, he becomes one of your closest friends. Wow. Seems like a great guy to date, eh?
Stop. And. Think. Again. :mrgreen:
I recommend that you consider NOT looking at him through rose-tinted […]

To Fight or Not to Fight

I just got back from a dinner at a friend’s house. These girls have been my friends since I was in highschool and we’ve stayed in touch over the years — over 10 years, in fact.
The conversation revolved around marriage, kids, engagements, and break ups. Of course, since I’m the only single left in the […]

Multi-dating: Dating more than one person

This is the opposite of exclusivity in dating. More people means more options. Options equates to a higher probability of finding the right match. Uh, or is it?
I guess that’s what dating is actually for — options. It creates an ideal scenario wherein you get to try out something until you find that one thing […]

10 Ways To Get His Attention Back

I came across this post over at 500secretsaboutmen.com that talked about some of the things that really happen in relationships.
Women, I’ve observed, have the tendency to feel insecure when their men become less and less “actively involved” in the relationship. Personally, I do feel somewhat jealous of the things that take his attention away from […]

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!

I just wanted to wish the readers of Dating Dames who celebrate this particular holiday! [I know it’s a bit late. Heehee.]
I’m quite curious, though. Do people schedule dates on this occasion? Or is the day just reserved for family and friends? And if you do go out on a date on this day, does […]

Questions on Keeping Secrets

I’ve heard it said before that there are certain things about yourself, which you have to keep hidden from your partner. It’s seems like it’s a “need to know” basis kind of set up.
Is this a common practice between men and women?
I understand the need for a certain amount of privacy in relationships but how […]
