Whether you’re single, married, committed, or still trying to figure it all out, I’m pretty sure we can all relate to the stories and tales that come along with the experiences in the love department. Relationships are tough, and there are a LOT of things that come along with your voluntary involvement with another person. Sometimes you’re lucky enough to find someone you are truly compatible with; you share similar interests, laughs, and good times. But then there are times when your hook-up is more like a match made in hell; you are on your first date and the person across the table eats like a pig, offers minimal conversation, and doesn’t care to pay for dinner.
Today’s post is about a little gem I found called The Urban Dater, a site that covers both sides of the polarizing world of dating and mingling…the good and the bad. Creator Alex Vasquez started the site back in 2008 as a venture to find a topic that would gain readers, all the while teaching himself proper SEO tactics. Over time, his initiative gained much momentum; his blog turned from a single man project to now hosting over one hundred writers. They appreciate their “inappropriate humor,” yet educational and informative format. Needless to say, so do their readers.
At the end of the day, none of us have all the answers. We all go through the ups and downs of relationships, and sometimes we need advice. Thus began Ask the Urban Dater, a question-and-answer forum where readers can seek out suggestions to deal with their troubles in paradise. Other times, a simple read offered by a like-minded author can set our concerns at ease. Topics such as dirty talk, strippers, online dating, first dates, and sex tips can all be found at the Urban Dater.
While every circumstance is different, we all have similar situations and thoughts in terms of the dating realm. This is the place to share your feelings and concerns, and potentially earn some feedback from the “non-experts” of Urban Dater. They’ve seen and heard it all, and they are happy to offer help. They even extend the opportunity for guest writers to post!
We all rant and bitch to our friends when the wonderful world of romance isn’t working out quite the way we had hoped. We search for answers, we ask for advice, and we consume ourselves in these problems. We wonder how to make things better, try to come up with solutions. The funny thing about love and dating, is that every single situation is subjective. Sure, there are similarities, but before you are quick to slap any sort of label onto your situation based on a tip from a buddy, relationship expert, or tv show, it’s always a good idea to sit back and reflect. Don’t rush any decisions. Not everyone is willing to admit it, but nobody wants to get hurt…ever. Asking for suggestions and reading advice columns are only going to get you so far. You always need to make sure to think for yourself, and make the best decisions in a relationship for YOU; regardless of what anyone else may have to say.
