Sick of old ladies telling how to date?

Want to know the pros and cons of friends dating? We;ve got an article on that. Here’s an sample:
Pro: Years or months of built up sexual tension. Hell yeah!
Con: Too much hype can make for a rather lousy let down. Especially since sometimes people talk themselves up to their friends since they think they will never be sleeping with them anyway.
Pro: Good communication. You already know how to talk to each other, this works out well when it comes to relationships.
Con: Sometimes who a person is as a friend, can be very different than who they are as a romantic partner. Finding this out can be good or bad, usually bad.
Wondering how to fight fair in dating? We’ve got an article for that too.
Tip one: see if it’s a good time to talk: I remember once, a boyfriend tried to bring up how much it annoyed him when I would borrow his deodorant, right after my brother told me he had cancer. Bad timing.
Tip two: Think before you speak. I’ve had moments of jealousy with guys in the past, where I’ve gotten pissed when I saw some girl post x’s and o’s on their facebook walls. But you know what? A guy has very little control over what someone writes on his wall. So even though I’ve been tempted to say something, usually I let that one slide, (although I will creep the girl and she who she is).
Tip three: Talk in “I” statements. Like, lets say he never does the dishes. Say “I feel like I do more than my shares of the dishes. It would make me feel more appreciated if things were more equal”. That way it’s not about what he’s doing wrong, more, what he could be doing to improve the situation.
We’ve got many more informative articles to share with you. Read on with confidence. We may not be experts, but we’re your friends.
