* The Natural (1984) starring Robert Redford and Glenn Close.

* In a nutshell, the Saturn Return is an astrological rite of passage that takes place every time Saturn completes a full orbit from your time of birth.

Navigating the Dating Pool & #Relationshipgoals

A FRIEND OF MINE ONCE TOLD ME, “There should be no strategy in relationships.” Sounds great, but I think we can all agree, no matter your sexual preference or gender, if you’re looking for love, it can be very difficult to get out of dealing with “games” and figure out how to navigate the playing field. Who should be the one to approach? How should you approach? When should you call? Is a first date too early to sleep together? What even is a first date? If he sends a panda emoji does that mean he’s a freak?? And so on and so on. . . . With movies like Two Can Play That Game and How to Be a Player, books with titles like How to Be a Lady to a Man Who Knows the Lady a Man Wants, written by *insert thrice divorced man right here*, and the daily public displays of computer love on social media, we’ve been groomed, taught, and conditioned to exercise strategy throughout every phase of courtship. The question becomes: What goal is your strategy tuned to obtain?

Some just want sex. Hey, do you! But are you being honest with yourself and the other person in that pursuit? For far too many, simply having a relationship is enough. Whether it’s for financial purposes, for the kids, or just to be able to say, “I have a man,” they’ll forsake their own happiness, trying to function through dysfunction and remaining blind to their inalienable truths. Others want companionship without obligation and familiarity without family. There are fuckbois, and THOTs, situationships, and cuddle buddies, cuffin’, talking, ghosting, and more. Plus, technology has added all types of new help and hurdles to the quest, simultaneously bringing folks together and, in more ways than one, widening the chasm. Then, of course, there is the bigger picture of the evolution of gender, the change in social norms associated with gender, and the call for economic equality, which have all been incredible steps that have delivered a heavy blow to the toxic masculinity far too many find comfort in. With all the above swirling around, these days it can seem like relationships are harder to get into and even harder to stay in.

Be that as it may, I am a realist. So, though the path to love may be peppered with potholes, one must keep driving toward the paved road. In this section, we’ll dig into “data” on Dating in a Digital World, tackle the Hoe Phase, get Booed Up, and juggle those Breakups to Makeups. I don’t believe
