The Dating Truth

Most people feel bound in dating. Instead of doing what they want, they do what they feel they should. These kinds of singles are typically deemed “Nice” and essentially are rarely successful. I want to break the news to you that you are doing what you want to do in dating.

I think it was in a Deepak Chopra book where I once read, ‘have no point to prove’. I’ve been living that mantra ever since.

Decades later, more is known about what HIV is and how it’s spread yet there are thousands of new cases reported every year. Millions of people infected around the world.

We live our lives in disconnect sometimes. We watch movies like Brokeback … CONTINUE READING…
