Official Girl:The "Girlfriend" title

Okay, so there's always that same scenario that happens to girls in college. You been dating a guy... you like him, you guys go out all the time, you enjoy each other's company, and of course you hook occassionally.... but he doesn't exactly consider you his girlfriend. Labeling a relationship whether girlfriend/boyfriend, friends, or friends with benefits can get messy. What you consider somebody to be may not be the same way they see you.
Usually, guys follow the "Oh we're just friends" route. Not to be totally biased, but there are some girls who use the "just friends" label, but not usually. After a girl recognizes her status with her guy, its up to her to either go along with it, or choose to go on to find something better. There has been situations in my life where i have stayed and went along with the title just because I liked the guy that much. I have learned that there is no reason to settle for less than you deserve.
If a guy does not see the potential in you and how great of a person your are then, hey he's not the one for you. There is something wrong if a guy only wants to be with you behind closed doors. Regardless of who the guy is or what he is, a woman should recognize her self worth.... priceless.

A 1,000 Miles Apart: Long distance relationships in college

One of the biggest memories of being in high school is experiencing your first love. You experiece your first date, first prom, and even your first sexual experience with that person. Unfortunately, after high school is over the major of couples go on to do different things. One may go on to join the military, or a couple could attend different colleges.
Having a long distance relationship is probably one of the most difficult things to do. From experiece, they do not work out too well. In college there is way too much temption. The freedom to go and please as one wants usually puts a damper on the relationship.
Freshman year is the time for someone to find themself, and experience new things. Usually, one person in the relationship gets their heart broken a bit. But trust me, the outcome is for the better. It is good to go out meet new people and date around a bit. It lets u know if the small time love back home is really the one for you.

Facebook/Myspace Wars

The popular social networking websites Facebook and Myspace are good for many reasons. Having an account helps you locate old friends, keep in touch family and friends, and also chat with potential love interest. Unfortunately, these two websites can cause potential drama in a relationship. If your in a relationship with somebody, it is not a good idea to go snooping in their myspace or facebook accounts. For one, if you do not trust them, then maybe you should not be with them. Don't go crazy if you see a new friend request on your guy or girls page. The myspace/ facebook explosion has caused an attack of paranoia among suspicious girlfriends and even sometimes boyfriends. If you are in a committed relationship there is nothing wrong with each of you having an account. It's another way for couples to have their freedom apart from each other. Just relax, don't make nothing into something. However, if your gut instinct tells you your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating, go with that feeling. Majority of the time, you are usually right... Tell me how you feel??

Real Chance of Stupidity!!!

Another one of VH1's hit reality dating shows Real Chance of Love, shows how far or yet how low women will go to capture the attention of two handsome bachelors. The shows premise is the story of two brothers, Real and Chance, looking for love in 15 potential bacherlorettes. Every week the girls participate in meaningless challenges competing for the chance to win a date with one the brothers. Week by week one girl is eliminated, ultimately the two girls left standing are the winners and the "true love" for each brother. Okay, I am all for a good laugh, and this show brings it. The hilarious commentary brought by Chance makes the show that much better to watch. Even though the antics the girls do on the show are funny as well, still, as a female this show degrades women and makes some of them look dumb! Personally, it's unfair to bash the stars of the show Real and Chance, so I blame the girls. If that is what they signed up for then hey more power to them. But, I don't think its a good look for females black, white, hispanic, or asian to be parading aroung in next to nothing doing whatever to capture the interest of the brothers. However, I do commend the girls on the show who keep it real and classy. Essentially, this show is a joke. It pokes fun of beautiful women desparate to find love and tv time. But still, it makes for good laughs and high ratings for VH1....

He's Just Not that Into You (Part 2)

If you followed the previous blog posting of part 1, well here is how it all ends:

Part 2
Days would go by until she heard from "Mr." Right, and of course he would stand her up weekend after weekend for dinner and movie dates. Being the friend that I am, I could not bare to see my friend so upset, especially over a GUY!!!! So, with a little help from Broward Clerk of Courts.com, my inspector gadgets senses went into action.
It turns out, that her "Mr." Right was actually married with 2 kids for 3 years. In utter disbelief, I had to tell my friend the truth even though it was probably the hardest things I ever had to do. Needless to say, she did end things with him. But what shocked me the most was she had absolutely no clue. From all this only be, only one thing can be said...
Ladies, listen to your female instincts, thats what they are there for. Let no man play you like a fool, and always remember you deserve better than a sub par man.

3 of the Best Date Restaurants

Grabbing a bite to eat one the most common plans for a date night in college. However, living in such an expensive town such as Boca Raton, a weekend date can put a serious dent in your wallet. So here is a list of few places that are fun and romantic yet in your student budget.

1. Boardriders

Located at 234 S. Federal Hwy in, this A surfer-themed bar and Tex Mex restaurant. Tiki huts, surfboards, projection screens playing surf videos, live local reggae and funk bands, great place for college kids. You can also chill on the patio, with its cozy tiki bars and wooden swings, as music of the night’s live band is being piped through the house speakers.
$2 Drafts / $3 Wells “All Night”

2. Stir Crazy

Located infront of the Boca Town Center Mall, Stir Crazy is the perfect place to visit when you

have a taste for Thai cusine. As the restaurant reps put it best, "Guests get to experience all of the action: chefs cutting and chopping fresh vegetables, flames leaping from the woks, aromas and sounds that make Stir Crazy like no other restaurant."

3. The Cheesecake Factory

One of my personal favorites, The Cheesecake Factory, located on Glades Rd. next to the Boca Town Center Mall. Cheesecake Factory has an endless variety items on the menu to choose from. From shrimp scampi and pasta to chicken tacos. The Cheesecake Factory is great place where you can get big portions for a small price.

Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better

Living in 2009 where anything is possible, the old double standard still remains the same, if a guy has sex with a lot of girls "Oh he's the man!!" However if a girl does the same thing, she is labled as easy or a whore. Prior to going to college I held this double standard true.
In high school girls rarely express their sexuality freely. College is the time where girls just as well as guys are able to make their own decisions regarding sex. FAU unfortuantely, is very lackadaisal about opposite sex sleeping arrangements.
Yes, there are male and female rooms, however there is no supervision regarding who goes to who's room and what goes on there. This freedom leads to an increase in promiscuity among students. Unfortunately, female students usually receieve the negative connotations associated with being highly sexually active. Its unfair to hear guys banter innocent girls who are basically doing the same thing they are.
One friend of mine actually considered transferring to a different school because the gossip was jus to much to bear. Girls should not shy away from their sexuality but own it.
The website http://www.dantingish.com/ further explores the old double standard, allowing women to freely express themselves and announce "Hey maybe I just enjoy sex okay?!?" Is that really such a bad thing?

He's Just Not that Into You ( Part 1)

Part 1

The best thing about having close girlfriends is you share just about each and every detail about your lives. College is the meeting grounds where these close friendships are formed, and also where college crushes and heartbreaks occur.
For the most part, girls attend college to "A" get an education and "B" find their future spouses. On the flip side, guys are generally there to party, get laid, and possibly get some studying done.
Recently, one of my bestfriends was in a situation where she truly felt she found her match. She met "Mr." Right one evening at her job.
Of course he fed her all the usual pick-up lines. Ultimately, she gave him her number. They began dating for about 3 months before things started to become rather strange.
