Planning where you’ll meet for your first date can be challenging, especially early on in your online dating experiences. For me, early on I thought every date needed to be an all-out affair with a very nice dinner and some activity afterward.
As I started to have success and was going on multiple first dates a week, my bank account just couldn’t keep up with my dating life! Because of this, I began to suggest simpler dates, often just meeting ...

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.

These quirky little cultural differences have a notable effect on dating ...
