When you’re choosing a dating site, ask yourself: what would make this one the right choice? Look beyond the free membership and unlimited messaging, and think about how all the different features of a dating site add up to give members a certain result. Of course, that’s not to say that everyone on the same dating platform will get the same result – but they’re often in the same general area. For instance, people don’t go to eharmony when they’re searching for a guy who can masquerade as their boyfriend at a big family function. By the same token, a lot of the users on Tinder didn’t sign up for the purpose of finding lasting romance. Most users go to CamSurf because they are specifically looking for instant video chat.
Back to the main point – what features would a dating site need in order to give you the result you’re hoping for? Fortunately, the answer isn’t as complicated as you might think. Behind all the branding, proprietary algorithms, and psychology-based questionnaires are the basic features that every dating site should offer.
Once you know what you’re searching for, finding the right one won’t be hard at all.

During these difficult times, because of the pandemic and everything that has come with it, it is important for people to make room for laughter. There is no question that it is challenging to find the funny among all the hardship. It can be a struggle to balance the bad with the good. But it is a long-held belief that humor is an important elixir that helps to soothe the pain and even heal. Professor of Surgery Henri de Mondeville famously said in the 1300s that laughter, compiled with the treatments he recommended, would help toward recovery. That eventually translated into the saying we all know today: laughter is the best medicine. Norman Cousins is known for having cured himself of a terrible disease by chuckling through all the Marx Brothers’ movies. Recently even Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani poked fun at the way they found each other during a Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile.
So how can you find a way to incorporate humor into your relationship and your daily life to take the sting out of all the stressors you are experiencing?

The dating scene is like everything else – automated. In the age of digitized everything, people are now attempting to find their soulmate via the web. In the not so distant past, these sites were less “fine-tuned” compared to today, with most people mocking them as being only for “unattractive people.”
But these are evolving steadily to the point most singles of every demographic have a profile on at least one best dating site in U.S.A. The days of talking to a stranger in public and coyly asking for a phone number are over. Now, people find comfort and confidence in messaging potential dates online behind a mobile screen until there is a certain level of comfort, enabling them to venture to a phone call. Meeting in person, though, takes an extreme amount of courage and requires exceptional safety measures.
If your roomie and your partner are constantly at each other’s throats, rest assured that this is a relatively common problem. That doesn’t make it better, but you should know that you aren’t the first to deal with this issue. And, the silver lining is that we can look to others for advice.
In this dating advice post, we’re going to cover what to do when your significant other fights with your roommate.
In the last few months, we’ve seen countless celebrity couples break up in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Being stuck at home with your significant other has put a strain on many relationships, not just famous couples. With several states reporting a rise in new COVID-19 cases, we may be spending much more time at home again. If you’re worried about how more time in lockdown may impact your relationship, Cupid has some dating advice for you.
We recently interviewed relationship expert and dating coach Lee Wilson to get his perspective on how to keep your relationship healthy during the stress of lockdown. Wilson has 20 years of relationship-recovery experience, focusing on reuniting couples after separation. He also gave a TED Talk and has lectured at several colleges, including Pepperdine University.
In our interview with dating expert Lee Wilson, he revealed his relationship advice for getting through lockdown with your relationship intact.
Living with your partner is a big step in your relationship that brings new issues to tackle together. Finances may not be the first thing on your mind when moving in together, but it can cause some serious rifts in your relationship. Both of you are responsible for contributing to your new household, but it can be hard to talk about finances with your partner for the first time. It’s even harder if you’re struggling with money, especially if one of you is being reckless with your spending.
If you’re unsure how to tell if you and your partner are living beyond your means, Cupid has some relationship advice for you:

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.” – a confused lover
When it comes to narrating a tale regarding the history and contemporary details of love and relationships, none claim to be an expert. Almost everyone seems to be somewhat baffled when it comes to the concepts of love and attachment. You can never be definite about the path your current relationship, and therefore you should be taking precautions. All the while, however, you tend to indulge in a relationship no matter what happens or had happened to you in the past. You just can’t keep yourself apart from this sweet poison that you’re taking so deliberately — love. That doesn’t mean you’re not skeptical at the end of the day, which can lead to questions and uncertainty in your relationship. To get rid of that insecurity, you need to trust in your partner completely, and trust nowadays is hard to come by.
