You've buried a longing so deep that you won't even pray about it. Maybe it's finding a lost family member, healing a broken relationship, or discovering your true identity.

Many young people are in search of the spark: a certain quickening of the blood that supposedly indicates that they've found “the one.” However, dating for feels generally only makes any sense if certain conditions are met.

A great deal of the unnecessary suffering on this planet arises from inappropriate identification, which leads to narcissistic injury.

When caught in the jaws of life, it is immensely useful to practice the art of surrender.

Mark my words. AI relationships will be commonplace by the end of this decade, and these agents will soon constitute the sexual marketplace's most threatening competition.

The Pinocchio story teaches us that men might have to pass through a trial to become fully human.

Everything in this world has a cost, and the price of safety is civility.

Almost every dating coach tells his or her clients not to chase the opposite sex. However, if both sides listened to this advice, wouldn't that lead to a stand-off in the sexual marketplace? It would, if both sides were indefinitely equal with respect to their power balance – and this is not the case. In general, the more powerful force the less po…

Many women incorrectly believe that sleeping with a man will decrease the likelihood that he consider her as a long-term prospect. However, this is not true.
