In this week’s Single in Stilettos show, Suzanne Oshima and relationship strategist Joa Amoia discuss the signs that tell you if you’re dating the wrong type of guy.

‘Never Have I Ever’ Author Katie Heaney Says Love Should Be “a Supplement to a Full Life”

Interview by Whitney Johnson. Transcription by Maria Darbenzio.
Katie Heaney turned her status as “being permanently single” into a funny memoir that sheds light on searching for your soul mate in the 21st century. In her new book NEVER HAVE I EVER: My Life (So Far) Without a Date, the 27-year-old shares her dating (or non-dating) experiences as she attempts to find romance on her own terms. We recently caught up with the author to glean a few more words of wisdom on looking for love and spending Valentine’s Day alone.

Blogger Perez Hilton Talks About Being a Single Celebrity Parent, Online Dating, and His Recent Move to New York
At the Match.com Singles in America event, CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco talked to panelist and blogger Perez Hilton about online dating and life in New York City with his sweet son, Mario.
Celebrity Video Interview with Perez Hilton
As for why he was on the panel at Saturday’s event, the celebrity gossip columnist reveals, “I’m here to talk about my experiences — I’m on Match and many other sites. I think it’s fun to offer my perspective, which may be different from the other panelists because I’m a gay man and a personality.”

In our celebrity video interview, the blogger lights up when the subject turned to his son. “He loves New York! We do so much here,” he shares. “I think raising a child in New York City is the best because there’s so much to do and it’s so easy to do so much.”
Of course, having a child changed Hilton’s dating life, but he doesn’t like to use the word “difficult” when it comes to finding love. “It definitely presents challenges that a single person wouldn’t face. Like I choose not to bring guys back to my place. You gotta work around it! Do what you got to do.”
Right now, though, the single celebrity parent’s priority is Mario’s first birthday on Feb. 17. He shares that the father-and-son duo will be celebrating with a blessings ceremony. “I’m inviting all my close friends and family to come over and write down little blessings on a sheet of paper,” he explains in our celebrity video interview. “I’m trying to get some spiritual folks — maybe a rabbi and a priest, maybe a monk — to share some words and blessings as well.”

How to Get Through a Breakup and Heal Your Heart
We’re excited to welcome Ellen Smoak as a guest post contributor to CupidsPulse.com! In her first video, the author of Breakups Are a Bitch But Getting Through It Doesn’t Have to Be! shares the five stages of getting over a breakup and coaches you through each one. First comes shock, followed by denial. Next, we experience anger and begin to step into our own power again. The fourth stage is sadness and depression — “the hardest stage of all.” Finally, we come to acceptance, a stage we can only reach by going through the previous four stages first.

“We can get stuck in stages for years and not even know it,” she reveals. “It can block our ability to love again, to attract love again, to be happy in love again.”

Giveaway: Give Your Feet the Attention They Deserve with Foot Cardigan

This post is sponsored by Foot Cardigan.

Sometimes, socks get treated like the younger, less impressive sibling to lingerie in the undergarment family. We all have our share of boring, white or grey mismatched socks — perhaps with holes in the toes. It’s far too rare that we treat ourselves to a new pair. Months go by, and we continue to neglect our feet’s need to be accessorized, while our derrière gets all the attention. But socks can be just as fun and flirty as silky slips!

Well, the creators of Foot Cardigan say that this is simply impossible because “you will love them, wear them, and your life will be better because of them.” To see some designs they’ve sent to their subscribers, check out the #sockstagram feed on Instagram.
