I live in my home with my girlfriend, her brother and our four (soon to be five) dogs. She works, I go to school. She makes most of the money, I do most of the cooking & cleaning. We work together on house projects, visit each other's families, and offer all the help and inspiration either of us could need. We spend our days like most other typical American families. We rely on and inspire each other. One day in the near future we will begin having children and completing our family. My girlfriend is an American soldier serving in the Indiana Army National Guard. She has served one tour overseas and will likely serve another before her contract with the military is over. As a gay soldier, she faces daily discrimination towards our relationship. …show more content…

You thought things were going well, what happened? Well, you've probably made one or more of the following dating mistakes: 1. A bad choice of clothing makes a bad impression. This is a dating mistake men can do something about before they turn up for the date. Wear neat flattering clothes. If you are carrying a bit of weight, conceal it with dark slightly larger clothes. A muffin top over tight pants, or a shirt bursting at the seams with chest hair sticking out, is not a good look. Wrinkled, sweat stained clothing is a sign that you're a slob and not willing to make the effort for her. 2. Shoes say a lot about the man. Selecting the wrong kind could be a big dating mistake for a man. Here is an article on the subject. 3. Another big dating mistake men make is wearing too much perfume or aftershave.

A combination of coffee and cigarette breath is the ultimate turn off. Brush, floss, gargle, eat parsley, do whatever it takes to mask this, or you have no hope. Do not eat onion or garlic on the day of your date. It's …show more content…

Either way, it's all about appearances, and, ultimately about getting attention from them. On Halloween last year, I had parked myself firmly in Camp Sl*t, arriving to my costume party as a bride left at the altar-one, of course, with a very skimpy wedding dress. By the end of the evening, I was playing the part quite well because I was literally living it. I sat alone in a corner of the room, pissed because no boy had come to my rescue. Then, like a scene in a movie, the crowd parted, and out of it emerged a tall, thin man with wispy blond hair, heading straight toward me. Corey was, in a word, beautiful. (Even with a slashed t-shirt and fake blood smeared over his face and collarbone). Corey wasn't hot. Hot is for David Beckham and Brad Pitt. With his angelic face and creamy skin, he was a bit unreal, as if he had just stepped out of a Botticelli painting. I was instantly infatuated. My infatuation grew when, with closer inspection, I realized Corey was exactly the type of guy I lust after: Your classic hipster. (I mean, not that I'm a hipster, like whatever...like I care...). He was thin in that heroin-chic way, had the whole greasy/perfect hair thing going for him, wore cute tees, talked about culture and style, and even had a creative job as a designer. A jewelry designer. I would let that last detail slide for a few weeks, and when that detail
