...So maybe it can work for you. Colin Hodge is the CEO of Down, an app formerly known as Bang With Friends. He wrote a post for Medium about meeting a wonderful woman thanks to the popular "36 Questions" experiment.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are being featured in a SEXXXY photo spread in GQ, and the dog in one of their pictures is saying what we're all thinking about the couple: OMG STFU ALREADY PLZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLZ.
If you didn't read the wildly popular Modern Love column this weekend about how easy it is to fall in love if you and your chosen one just spend a few hours answering these 36 questions, then I guess you're just not an actual human with a beating heart.

Sophia Grace, a small glitter-spewing British song fountain who has been trapped in an pink-walled toy store for four years and counting, just released a single that will transport you straight to the club. Over a slinky, rubbery DJ Mustard-esque beat, "Best Friends" features Sophia Grace serving serious Charli XCX…
Money can't buy love, the saying goes, but it certainly improves your bargaining position. That has never been truer thanks to rapidly accelerating economic inequality. Say it with me: Swoon.

On Wednesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel invited a "random" audience member onstage for a Hollywood Blvd. scavenger hunt that ended in DIAMONDS and LOVE. Made a lot more endearing by an awkward spotlight fuck-up and the only guy in an Elmo suit who will ever make you smile. Everybody cry on three!

This is clearly a sign from some form of higher being that we need to seriously take it down a notch with these over-the-top marriage proposals before someone gets seriously injured.
Facebook has circulated a new video instructing users on how to block (and quickly unblock) an ex. This is a great start, but it's simply not enough, because everyone knows that when it comes to putting distance between you and that mouthbreather you once called your lover, there is nothing but breathy shades of gray.

Match.com has released its 2014 Year in Review report, and apparently, people don't have very much to mention about themselves other than "Zumba" and Frozen. Listen, love in the time of cholera internet dating can be rough. The whole idea of looking for a partner based on the pretense of personal branding is a bit…
I don't know if you know this, but there are actually women out there who spend a considerable amount of their downtime thinking about what their wedding will be like one day. But get this—some of them don't even have boyfriends yet. LOL, FREAKS.

Baily and Bennett are in love. Baily and Bennett are four. Baily and Bennett are giving the rest of us a run for our money when it comes to penning sweet nothings to one's sweetheart. Who needs "you complete me" when you've got magic tricks and battling robots.
Here is a truth most universal: Nothing makes sex more appealing than a situation where it's totally inconvenient, making Thanksgiving the ideal time for furtive and risky sexcapades. But with family obligations and creaky beds, what's a person to do? Here's our guide to sneaking around on Turkey Day.
In May 2011, at age 25, I completed my first year as an English doctoral student. I also left my husband of nine months.

Of all the problems to have in a relationship, dating a chain of men who are messing around with their sisters isn't one that comes up a lot. One woman, however, is on her second man with a crush on his sister and she needs some help. Desperately.

Debbie Lopez dumped Joseph Torres, but kept the engagement ring. He sued to get it back, but a judge ruled Lopez could keep it because Torres never "properly" proposed when he gifted Lopez the $10,000 ring. The one she wore on her left hand? On her ring finger? You know, like any old gift ring?
