If you've been scrolling Hinge, going out every weekend, and picking up new hobbies, yet still haven't met the perfect partner, it's officially time to turn to the stars. According to astrologers, your birth chart is full of clues that can point you towards the right person - if you know where to look. In a viral TikTok shared Oct. 22, creator and astrologer @kimannieastro said you don't just meet your soul mate by accident.

Well, the answer does depend on the person and the circumstances of the dates. Dates are, in essence, experimental samples of what the person may be really like. Naturally, the more samples you have, the more accurate picture you'll have. At the same time, each date does come with a cost in time, effort, and faith in humanity. Therefore, you don't necessarily want to be saying,

He said, "We have. I've not been inside you, but we've done stuff." He even tried to lie to me and said that we've given each other blowjobs. I said, "Correction, I gave YOU a blowjob." His mouth hasn't been anywhere near that part of my body. I know what you might be thinking, and this man is not asexual. (Unless he's been lying to me about that, too.)

Depressingly, this seemed normal in the 00s and demanded a specific type of vigilance. As well as trying to look perfect for every date, there was also the effort of trying to be perfect: bright and funny and engaging and fragrant, but also vaguely unavailable. Endearingly kooky was OK; but I didn't want to come across as weird. Misery and anger were off limits. I never risked showing I cared. No wonder love had failed to launch.

A survey recently conducted by the dating app The League asked its members what industries they would consider to be the most attractive for potential partners. Among female respondents, finance/business earned the most interest, and among male respondents, medicine/mental health seems to have gotten their hearts racing the most. That doesn't necessarily mean, though, that you have your work cut out for you, so to speak, if your career doesn't fall into one of the more favored industries.

My girlfriend Morgan and I were introduced by my realtor at the preseason game for the Chicago Sky. I'm opening a women's sports bar called Babe's, and she became an investor. We go to every home game together. For her birthday, I wrote her a novella called Courtside Connection about our relationship because she loves those sappy sapphic romance books. I have been threatening to throw a self-published book party for it at Babe's.

One Bay Area woman has taken matters into her own hands and gone analog with her search for a mate, on a fairly grand scale. Lisa Catalano, a 42-year-old San Mateo woman who owns a vintage clothing business, has paid for a series of billboards that drivers on 101 on the Peninsula may have seen over the past several weeks.

The dating app Feeld has revealed that mentions of the film studio A24 have increased 65% year-on-year in members' profiles over the past 12 months. Feeld caters for those seeking alternative relationship choices and overindexes for women and non-binary people, bisexuals and pansexuals, yet it reports that the majority of members whose profiles mention A24 are cis-gender male, straight and aged 26-30.

I have two young children, and he refuses to meet them and says he doesn't want to be involved in any child-related activities or even conversation. It makes me really sad as my children are such wonderful little people, but he just doesn't want anything to do with them. I split up with their dad years ago and we co-parent well without any issues.

If it's your job to figure out when to share this, it's also a partner's job to figure out when to ask. Wanting kids isn't like monogamy or working for a living, where until instructed otherwise people can basically assume that's your plan. More people than ever are deciding they don't want kids. The fact that you're one of them is not shocking, confronting or even especially unusual.

When you are able to calm down, you should reach out to your friend. Chances are, she is totally unaware of her behavior toward you. Because she doesn't handle stress well, she shrugs off your issues. Now, seeing her co-worker on a daily basis and observing whatever crisis she may have experienced has forced her to acknowledge someone else going through it.

Many women are choosing to stay single over settling. Choosing to stay single allows women to preserve their inner peace and autonomy. Singleness can create space for growth, friendships, and fulfillment outside of romantic partnership. Studies continue to confirm the trending rise in single women. And yet, even though this has become more of the norm, there are still deep feelings of shame around singlehood. Many conversations I've had with clients about dating and what it means to be single confirm this experience.

I feel grateful to each person with whom life has made me find myself. No, I do not pressure myself. I think of freedom. That's what guides me.

The reality is that engaging in adult entertainment often has implications beyond the immediate experience, affecting personal relationships and social status long-term.
