Our exes (and ex-relationships) are our greatest teachers. They provide us with the most important lessons when it comes to love.

I love getting ready for dates—it's my excuse to break out my sky-high heels and that dress I never wear.

Here are six graphic tees whose messages could scare any guy away.  1. "Same shirt, different day" tee (Same Shirt Different Day Tee, $12.80 from Forever 21).... CONTINUE READING 27

The dating world is strange and competitive: I’ve had enough bad Saturday nights to fill a book. But what’s more shocking is how expensive it can be. Putting aside the who-pays-when politics, the dating lifestyle alone is pricey—and every single woman should have a separate dating budget. Here’s the breakdown for a city gal like me: Mani-pedis, waxing $50–$100 per month Date-worthy clothes, shoes,... CONTINUE READING 32

In the age of Apple, the phrase "there's an app for that" has become an all-too-familiar tagline, and with the increased prevalence and popularity of online dating, mark our words when "there's a site for that" comes up as the go-to answer the next time you and your gals are commiserating over finding your dream guys.

So, you've got the perfect outfit, and you're ready for a first date to remember! But why are you still so nervous?
