  • Do You Need a Heartbreak Coach?

    by ScrewingTheRules Dating Coach Laurel HouseOne day you're happy, or happy enough, and the next it's over and your world feels like it has been smashed on the ground. You find yourself sobbing on the floor, noises coming out of you that sound more inhuman than your own. You're heartbroken and you don't know what to do. You can't work. You can't sleep. You can't eat (or you eat everything in your entire kitchen). You can't function. All you feel capable of doing is crying. And even that has become too exhausting.

  • Mother/Daughter Trip to Find Their Power Feminine

    Beyond Bourbon Street, beaded necklaces, and a open container policy that considers a straw enough of a lid to make strolling the streets with a cocktail in hand legal… New Orleans is known for its history, romance, and female-focused culture. In need of a girls' getaway, my best girlfriend (my mom) and I packed our bags and head off to New Orleans with a focus on femininity (my passion) and history (hers). My topic was how to embody what I call the "Power Feminine" in dating, business, and life. This was going to be a very different New Orleans adventure! Watch the video below to see highlights from Laurel's Power Feminine Speech

  • 7 Ways to Reignite Your Relationship

    Do you remember the excitement of the first weeks, months, and maybe even years of your relationship? Sure, you threw your love a lavish surprise birthday party last year and you created a super sexy weekend several months ago and that's great! But's it's not the grand gestures and expensive overtures that make a relationship.

  • Is First Date Sex Ok?

    There are couples who have sex on the first date and end up in totally healthy, enduring relationships that lead to happy and fulfilling marriages, just as there are people who had sex on the first date and never spoke again, just as there are couples who waited until they were in a committed relationship and broke up after a few months, just as there are couples who don't have sex and don't go beyond date 8. If you pre-qualified effectively first, you've already started building that emotionally intimate relationship. -Having sex once in a committed relationship doesn't guarantee that you'll stay together.

  • How to Date Multiple Men at Once… like "The Bachelorette"

    Not that ABC's "The Bachelorette" is what you should fashion your dating life after, especially considering the fact that few made-for-tv relationships end up lasting, but I do find it interesting that season after season, these chicks are able to emotionally invest themselves in multiple people, X'ing off one or two a week, until finally, in the last episode, it's down to the one. In this age of Internet dating, where the expectation is that you very well could have more than one date set up, hunkering down and being exclusive (ie: boyfriend/girlfriend, committed, monogamous) with each guy you meet could end up being a big fat waste of time. Once you feel a true connection, that's when you know it's time to stop dating the others, and even if there aren't any others, that's when you pull yourself off the market and stop looking for something different/better and start focusing your attention on the one guy (which is not something The Bachelorette has the opportunity to do).

  • Why You Should Expose Yourself like Rihanna

    It's no secret that Rihanna has an amazing figure. So much so that Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins from the girl group TLC commented, "Every time I see you, you don't have to be naked. Thanks to online porn for starters, Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball video, Equinox gyms advertisements, and even a recent Christian Dior campaign, as a society we are certainly desensitized to nudity in many ways. Should you get as raw as Rihanna?

  • Does a Man's Size & Shape Matter?

    by ScrewingTheRules Dating Coach & Flirting Expert Laurel House I'm sick of the judginess around penis size. And it's not just women who have these perceptions about what's good, bad, and best. Guys can be brutal to each other when it comes to how big their package is. Before I take the topic head on, let me just quickly say that bigger isn't always better. In fact, sometimes small is best.

  • Why Divorced Men Are Best to Date (and Marry)

    He failed! He may have made some mistakes in his last marriage. He has been broken down! Divorced men understand what it's like to be in a committed relationship within which there are compromises and accommodations. Divorced men tend to be better communicators. There is a decent chance that he went to therapy during his marriage, if not after, and he has become fairly proficient at communicating needs and feelings more clearly.
