8 Dating Concepts I Do Have Time For

Because I'm not too busy to have fun.

8 Dating Concepts I Do Have Time For
New York Couples Counseling

There are many things I do not have time for when it comes to the dating scene. I don’t have much patience in general, and when it comes to dating, that patience runs out faster. I don’t want to waste my time, but I also don’t want to waste someone else’s time either. If we like each other, cool. If we don’t like each other, that’s cool, too. I have a lot of standards and a lot of expectations when it comes to my dating life. I don’t have much time on my hands, but I do have time for some dating concepts.


1. A Man Who Loves Jesus

A man who loves Jesus more than he’ll ever love me is probably the most attractive thing. Pursue Jesus, then pursue me.


2. Opening Things

This includes opening car doors, doors in general, really tough jars, and reaching the top shelf at the store. I’m short, and your long arms can reach the gallon bag of M&Ms. Those long arms are also fantastic to fix the leak under the sink.


3. Cheesy Dates

All of those dates that everyone “hates” but secretly is in love with? Take me on those ones. Give me scavenger hunts downtown and intense games of mini golf. All cheese is welcome here.


4. Take Me To Church

One of the cutest and swoon-worthy things is asking me to come to church with you. Let’s go. Right now. Ring by spring?


5. Family Time

Family is one of the most important things to me. Of course, I want to meet your baby sister, she’s adorable! And yes, I do want to be best friends with your mom.


6. Board Games

Nothing brings out my competitiveness like a good board game. Put monopoly in front of me and it’s game on.


7. BOLDNESS

I totally have time for a man who makes no bones about his feelings. If you can walk up to me with confidence and ask me on a date, just because of your boldness I’d probably say yes.


8. Communication

Communication is the most important part of any kind of relationship. If you don't have communication, then you have no way of knowing what the other person is thinking, feeling, or wanting. Communication is key.

I don't have a lot of time in general, so when it comes to my dating life I don't want anyone's time wasted. I'm not hard to please, I just have my standards set. A man who's so in love with Jesus, cheesy board games, and family? Give me that guy. I want lots of laughter and lots of fun. Give me the guy that's too goofy to handle and gets way too competitive during board games. Dating doesn't have to be hard. Set your standards and keep them. The right goofy, Jesus-loving guy will come.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
