What It Really Means When Someone Leaves You on Read, According to a Relationship Expert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Texting has somehow made dating both easier and way more irritating. You can talk to someone all day without ever hearing their voice, but you can also see the exact moment they opened your message and chose not to answer it. That little “Read” under a message has a stupid amount of power. If someone normally texts back within a few minutes, you’ll notice when six hours go by and there’s still nothing. The read receipt is just a timestamp, though. Everything else is just overthinking. A person w
The 4 Attachment Styles Everyone Talks About (And What They Really Mean) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like so many others, attachment theory is yet another psychology term that has become standard dating vocabulary. If someone takes six hours to text back, they’re “avoidant.” If they need reassurance, they’re “anxious.” Dating culture has turned these labels into quick, blanket-statement diagnoses, which really isn’t how the research works. The idea of attachment theory started with psychiatrist John Bowlby and psychologist Mary Ainsworth, who were studying how babies bond with their caregivers.
6 Things to Do on a First Date if You Want a Second One (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Watch anyone’s face when a couple starts making out on a crowded train. You’ll usually get the eye roll or the disgusted lip snarl. Every so often, though, you catch something else. Not disgust exactly. More like somebody was just reminded of something they wish was happening to them. People have been getting weird about other people kissing for well over a century. When Thomas Edison’s studio released an 18-second film called The Kiss in 1896, one critic complained about “the prolonged pasturin
Think You Might Be Demisexual? Here’s What It Actually Means. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people have never looked at a stranger and thought, I need to sleep with that person. Not at 17, not after three drinks, not because everyone else at the table agrees they’re hot. They can see and agree that someone is attractive. It just doesn’t give them the tingles. There’s a word for it. Demisexual people only feel sexual attraction after they’ve formed a strong emotional bond with someone. The term first made an appearance on an asexuality forum in February 2006, posted by someone tryi
