How To Play Hard To Get And Why You Shouldn't
chicagonow.com

I never understood the girls who waited exactly seven minutes to answer a text. I don't comprehend the girls who tell a date they're too busy meanwhile they're watching TV. I never understood why avoiding someone at a party or waiting them to approach you first was acceptable.

I don't play hard to get.

I'm not saying I'm easy or that I play into someone's hand, but I certainly don't make myself a task for some guy. I'm not ever going to avoid a "hey" for a half hour for whatever reason some girls have. If my phone is with me, I'll answer in the same minute without shame. If it isn't then I'm sorry, its gonna be awhile but as soon as I have my phone I'll be sending a text back. I'm the girl that will give you the time of day if you give me yours. I don't play games.

Playing hard to get just shows me that you're not mature enough to have a relationship. No honest person is pretending that they can't go to dinner. Since when is "being too available" a bad thing?

Since when is having free time you're wiling to share not okay? I'm okay with spending the night with someone and when they ask when they can see me next, saying the next night. If I'm free, I will make plans. I will not lie about being busy to make you want me more or some backwards logic.

Ladies, please tell me why you're scared to approach someone at the bar or party? If you see someone you want to talk to and they haven't noticed you yet, go over and say "hello!" I will not be the girl holding her phone and her drink in the corner texting her friends that "he" is here and "hasn't had the nerve to come over to me".

Personally, I think playing hard to get is way more effort than it's worth and being yourself will be the most desirable way to get romantic affection. So, get out there girls!

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.

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.
