Good Changes Coming to Plenty of Fish

Posted by:

How Latin Dating Differs

Posted by:

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of dating Latin men or Hispanic women, I have no doubt they left a lasting impression on you. Going Latin has its fair share of differences when compared to dating people of other heritages, most of which can be owed to differences in culture. Traditional Latin culture tends to be traditional and unwavering, while American culture tends to be more fluid and lenient. These quirky little cultural differences have a notable effect on dating ...

You’re being too picky.

Those are words that well-meaning friends have said to one another for thousands of years. And for thousands of years it was often reasonable advice. But today, with availability of online dating, it’s quite possible that you’re not being picky enough.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen a free weekend at Chemistry.
