Consider these three social, relationship advice gems that have withstood the test of time. Their insights may help form the foundation of a richly rewarding social calendar that leads to new opportunities for success:
Question from Elissa B.: I’ve been seeing this guy for a few months now, and anytime we’re not together, he always texts me and never calls. Whether he’s seeing how my day is going or we’re trying to arrange our plans for the weekend, he only texts. What does this behavior say about our relationship and about him?

Actress Julie Andrews revealed that she is still dealing with the death of her husband, Blake Edwards, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 88. They were married for 41 years, and it “was a love story,” according to Andrews. Some days she gets along just fine, but others the loss of this relationship and love hits her like a brick, and she finds herself missing him and wishing he were still with her.

I unintentionally entered marriage with a heart full of expectation of how life would be once I became a wife. I desired a perfect relationship and love, free of hardship and pain, and full of adventure and passion.
Once we were finally married, I was blindsided by the circumstances we encountered and the conflict that arose in my relationship with my husband. With each passing day, if my husband fell short of fulfilling one of my expectations, discontentment would grow in my heart.
Modern relationships and love can indeed be challenging. In the past, the purpose of romantic partnerships was to accomplish two things: to procreate and to preserve power. Over the past several decades, though, we have begun asking more of our unions. We now expect them to be deeply fulfilling and to provide us with a supportive partner, best friend, and perhaps even a soulmate. We expect to be with a partner who celebrates our wins and accomplishments as well as one who supports us when things aren’t going as well as we’d like. But sometimes, we can be let down when he doesn’t seem as supportive of our career or perhaps is even downright jealous of our success. …Don’t miss the rest! Click here for more.

This announcementhas left a lot of people puzzled and some even angry. According to UsMagazine.com, famous couple Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, who met on season 17 of The Bachelor, are not happy about this change.

Fans were shocked last night when Chris Harrison named two women to be the stars of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. According to the WashingtonPost.com, the producers of the reality TV show were divided on whether to pick Kaitlyn Bristowe or Britt Nilsson, both former contestants from TheBachelor season 19,so they’re going to let the men make the decision for them. This has never happened on The Bachelorette before, but it’s actually not a first in franchise history: The Bachelor season 6 also began with two potential guys. It’s no surprise that Bristowe and Nilsson seemed underwhelmed and unenthused by the announcement, both trying to stay polite during their joint conversation with Harrison.
On the next season of The Bachelorette, Bristowe and Nilsson will again be squaring off on their quest for a relationship and love. How can you use dating competition to your advantage?
