6 Things You Need To Know Before Dating An Athletic Girl

There are some basic things anyone dating an athletic girl will know and understand. They are a different breed of people with their idiosyncrasies. Knowing how to work with these mannerisms is essential to having a good successful relationship. These six topics will outline the crucial information for anyone dating an athletic girl.

1. Eating food.

Do not bother her about eating. Sometimes she'll be bulking and trying to gain weight. Sometimes she'll be dieting and adding cardio to trim her muscles. Whatever she's doing, don't remark on how much or how little she eats.

2. Sleeping is important.

You may be all for going out late at night to meet friends and she is too until about 10 o'clock. Then it's time to go home with or without you. She's exhausted from the day and likes to stick to her schedule. It works for her. She'll go home and go to bed whether you do or not.

3. Sports Bras

They are comfy and they hold everything together. Why would anyone want to wear anything else? Especially those itchy lacy bras. She probably owns one or two but they are shoved in a drawer until it's a few days past laundry day and she has really run out of options.

4. Jim. Or should I say gym?

She has a relationship with the gym. She will always find time for it even if it requires cutting her other engagements short. She's dedicated to her workouts and she'll probably spend more time here than with you. But hey, at least all of the time she spends working out makes her look pretty fantastic.

5. She's confident.

Athletic girls are confident. They don't need you all of the time and they can do things by themselves. They actually prefer to move that stack of wood logs alone. It's a good workout! Now if you want to join in, she probably won't mind, but don't act like you are doing her a favor. She can handle it alone and she knows it.

6. She's extremely competitive.

That confidence wasn't born out of nothing. Your girl is competitive and she likes to win. Both of you happen to drive to go get dinner? Well there are two ways home and chances are she's going to try to beat you home. It's part of why she gets up every day and trains so hard. Winning or improvement is always the goal in her mind.

In all likelihood, you have or are going to learn these things if you are with her for any period of time. But, it's always nice to know what you're getting into. Athletic girls are awesome and fun especially if you're athletic and competitive too!

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.

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.

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.
