Masked Wonderings
So many guys I meet up with on apps want one thing only- even though their profile states that they’re seeking a relationship. What’s up the deception? Be it online or in person, not everyone in the dating pool comes from a place of honesty. Wearing the mask of Mr. Right could be his tool to achieve the goal of Mr. Right Now and it’s up to you not to fall for the trick. Be patient and eventually the right Trick or Treater will show up at your door. For every faceless profi

Three's Company?
My mother-in law has an opinion on everything and isn’t afraid to voice it.
