<p>Seth asked me “Andrew, how DO you date a model?” There are two possible questions there — one from the fellow who says he wants to date someone like Tyra, Christie, or Darcie (my girlfriend) or any one of the other supermodels who are out there. The other: “how on earth do you do that?”</p>
<p>Lets dispense with the bad news — <em>this is not </em>“Dr. Simpson’s black book of women in modeling, or his girlfriend’s contact list from her iphone.” Let’s expand the definition of model to anyone from the high school cheerleader to the local news anchor. We are going to assume there is a person out there that you feel you have an interest in – while she may be a physical beauty, you have more in common than just the pretty face (or other parts).</p>
<p><strong>If the latest Madonna song “speaks to you,” and you think you want to have a date with Madonna based on that song — you are about two steps away from being a stalker.</strong><span id="more-586"></span></p>
<p>So we are making a few assumptions here:</p>
<ul>
<li>The model you want to ask out on a date is someone that you have a genuine interest in.</li>
<li>She is someone you can be introduced to (have some access to).</li>
<li>She who won’t be asking the sheriff to enforce a restraining order on you for previous behavior.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Start out with a few simple things</em><strong> –</strong></p>
<p><strong>When it comes to beautiful women, there are a lot of guys who want to impress them. You do not need to be one.</strong> She gets a lot of goodies in life. You may think a lot of buying a bottle of Dom for dinner. Don’t be shocked that she doesn’t think much of it. Guys buy her stuff like that all the time. In fact, she’s probably tired of guys who think the next bottle of wine will win her over.</p>
<p><em>Now, if it is a bottle from your winery, that only you can get — and you know that she likes that wine – grea</em>t. But for most people, this is not an option.</p>
<p>Money does impress, but chances are she has more than you and doesn’t want to talk about it. Why? Because <em>before you talked to her, she was hit on by a billionaire, and while the thought of being Mrs. Billionaire crossed her mind, her fear of boredom quickly overcame it</em>. She is used to guys throwing money around like confetti in a parade. If you <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2021/06/21/what-does-money-mean-to-you/">have a lot of income</a>, or money – she will learn soon enough. Until then, don’t try to buy your way into a date – that’s boring.</p>
<p><strong>So what does she want?</strong> — shocking, but she wants someone she can relate to. Not that she expects you understand fashion, extensive travel, or five star hotels – just be someone to talk to.</p>
<p><strong>Conversation and interests are the key</strong>. You have your job, whatever it is – -and some of that can be interesting. Just understand that most “shop talk” is about as interesting as discussing how high the corn is for a farmer. Most of us have a lot of outside interests. Yes, you can talk politics, religion, or any other issue with her as much as you would with any prospective mate.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone size-full" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/12/10/00/23/woman-4684702_1280.jpg" width="1280" height="853"></p>
<p>When it comes to models, top models, or super models there is a perception, probably brought on by the show, “Next Top Model” that these women are not that smart. Trust me, it takes more than just beauty to make it to the top. Many models are well-traveled (for somewhat obvious reasons) and have wide interests including politics, the environment, nature, science, and the third world. Some have their own blogs (under pseudonyms), and a few Twitter. Having a great give-and-take conversation will give her reason to see you as thoughtful and interesting.</p>
<p><strong>Where to take her? </strong><em>Think casual</em>.<strong> </strong>If you think an high-end restaurant, like Babo, Chez Panisse, or Tarbell’s is a great first date– well, you are trying to impress her again. Stop! Why a casual first date? First, it takes the pressure off you to impress. Second, it means you can listen to her about things she wants or is interested in. If things go well there is plenty of time <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2024/12/19/extravagant-experiences-that-rival-even-the-priciest-dinner-dates/">to eat out at great places</a>, and if you cook –well, that is another bonus.</p>
<p><em>Do not assume you know what she likes to eat</em>. One of my girlfriend’s good friends was taken to a steak house — which was fine, but her “date” didn’t know she was a vegetarian — and it kinda went over like a Baby Ruth in a swimming pool. On one of my first dates with Darcie, I asked what her favorite childhood food was — hot dogs. I asked if she still liked them, she did. We went to a great local hot dog place.</p>
<p>When a model goes to a casual establishment, she can dress how she likes, which often means many people won’t recognize her. That’s ok – -on a date you want people to leave you alone so you can learn about the each other. <strong>Here is a head’s up – -she won’t look the same in blue jeans and a baseball cap – -she will look great, but not quite like the cover of Vogue.</strong></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/11/21/12/35/woman-1845100_1280.jpg" width="1280" height="851"></p>
<p>Setting the stage for a good date allows you to feel comfortable also. It allows you to really talk to the person, and eliminates the background of a restaurant that is the show itself.</p>
<p>Also, If you take her to a casual place and it turns out you have nothing in common, well, you had a date with a supermodel and it didn’t cost you too much.</p>
<p>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and classic beauty is an act of random genetics. <strong>Models ar</strong><strong>e people, with interests, ideas, and imagination. Find that person, that inner person – that is the purpose of your date.</strong></p>

<p>Sharing common interests can make a relationship exciting. A love for the same music, hobbies, or favorite foods creates a bond. But does that mean two people are truly compatible?</p>
<p>Real connection runs deeper. Long-term harmony depends on how well partners handle challenges, daily habits, and personal values, as explained in this helpful article.</p>
<h2><strong>The Role of Conflict Resolution</strong></h2>
<p>Every couple has arguments. Avoiding conflicts entirely is not as important as how they are handled. While some people need to talk things out right away, others shut down during confrontation.</p>
<p>When it comes to settling disputes, respect is crucial. Healthy relationships are about understanding the other person’s perspective, not about winning or being correct. Over time, couples who learn to talk through difficult times develop greater trust.</p>
<p>Money, parenting, and household responsibilities are other common points of conflict. A couple might agree on big-picture goals but struggle with the details of daily life. When one person handles most of the financial planning while the other prefers to spend freely, stress builds.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.faynutrition.com/registered-dietitians">Support from a registered dietitian</a> can also be valuable when disagreements arise over nutrition, meal planning, or health goals, ensuring both partners feel heard and supported in their choices.</p>
<p>If one partner wants children and the other doesn’t, that’s a fundamental difference that requires serious discussion. Learning how to compromise while respecting personal boundaries is key.</p>
<h2><strong>Lifestyle Compatibility</strong></h2>
<p>Beyond shared interests, daily routines can make or break a relationship. <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000757.htm">Sleep schedules</a>, work habits, and personal goals all shape how two people function together. A night owl dating an early riser might struggle with mismatched energy levels. Someone who values a quiet evening at home may clash with a partner who thrives on a busy social life.</p>
<p>Physical activity and recreational habits also play a role. One person might love hiking and outdoor adventures, while the other prefers a relaxed weekend indoors. These differences don’t have to be deal breakers, but they require understanding.</p>
<p>If one person constantly pushes the other to change their habits, resentment can build. At the same time, couples who find ways to share activities – even if it’s just an occasional compromise – tend to feel more connected.</p>
<p>Small lifestyle differences can be managed, but major ones require deeper conversations. If two people have opposite habits but share the same long-term vision, they can find ways to make it work.</p>
<h2><strong>Making Healthier Mutual Decisions</strong></h2>
<p>Health and wellness choices affect relationships more than most realize. Eating habits, exercise routines, and even stress management can impact a couple’s connection. When one partner prioritizes healthy living and the other doesn’t, tension can build over time.</p>
<p>The same applies to situations where cultural expectations play a role, such as in a <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2025/02/28/how-does-mail-order-bride-work-the-process-explained/">mail order bride</a> relationship. Differences in diet, medical care, and daily routines can add pressure, making mutual understanding even more important.</p>
<p>Working together toward a balanced lifestyle strengthens both the relationship and personal well-being. Consulting certified nutritionists can help couples make informed choices. Meal planning, mindful eating, and understanding each other’s health goals create a foundation for lasting harmony.</p>
<p>Support from a partner can be a huge motivator. Someone trying to eat healthier may struggle if their significant other constantly brings home fast food. The same applies to exercise. A partner who encourages fitness without pressure makes a difference in long-term health choices.</p>
<h2><strong>Emotional and Intellectual Connection</strong></h2>
<p>Compatibility isn’t just about daily routines – it’s about how two people engage with each other on a deeper level. Intellectual stimulation <a href="https://psyche.co/guides/how-to-have-more-meaningful-conversations">keeps conversations meaningful</a>. Emotional intelligence helps couples navigate both joyful and difficult moments.</p>
<p>Feeling emotionally safe with someone is key to strong compatibility. When both partners are open without judgment, trust deepens. Supporting each other’s dreams, listening, and showing appreciation strengthen the bond.</p>
<p>It’s also important to understand how each person processes emotions. Some are more expressive, while others are reserved. Recognizing and respecting these differences helps avoid misunderstandings and strengthens compatibility.</p>
<h2><strong>Beyond Interests: The Bigger Picture</strong></h2>
<p>Common interests may spark a relationship, but long-term success depends on shared values, mutual respect, and everyday habits. A couple can love the same activities but struggle if they approach life differently.</p>
<p>Trust, respect, and flexibility are far more important than liking the same movies or having similar hobbies. A strong partnership isn’t just about enjoying time together – it’s about handling life’s challenges as a team.</p>
<p>People grow and change over time. Couples who prioritize understanding and adaptability tend to thrive.</p>
<p>By finding balance, working through differences, and growing together, they create lasting connections. True compatibility isn’t just about what people like – it’s about how they live, love, and support each other in the long run.</p>

<p>In a relationship – especially in the beginning – differences can be fascinating and spark-inducing. That is, until they lead to misunderstandings.</p>
<p>If you’re in a cross-cultural relationship in Canada, be fully aware that to make the relationship work, you need more than love – equally important is respecting each other’s traditions, beliefs, and <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2020/04/13/dating-outside-of-your-religion/">possibly religions</a>. While it may be a lot at times, this type of relationship is also a wonderful opportunity to grow together and become more understanding and tolerant.</p>
<p>But respecting each other’s background isn’t just about having difficult conversations from time to time (although they matter); it’s also about creating a shared space where both of you feel valued. And when it comes to celebrations, honoring each other’s customs is one of the best ways to strengthen your bond.</p>
<h2>Celebrating Together Without Compromising Identity</h2>
<p>You don’t need to adopt every tradition your partner follows, but finding ways to incorporate both cultures can make festivities feel inclusive. And <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46086919">Canada’s multicultural landscape</a> offers plenty of ways to do this—community events, multi-faith celebrations, and even fusion traditions are all pretty common.</p>
<p>What’s important is to make sure both of you feel involved rather than sidelined. Simple, small gestures, like acknowledging a partner’s holiday even if you don’t celebrate it yourself, go a long way.</p>
<h2>Understanding Major Cross-Cultural Holidays</h2>
<h3>Easter and Eid: Religious Celebrations with Different Meanings</h3>
<p>Easter, an important holiday in Christian communities, often involves church services, egg hunts, and family meals. If your partner observes it, recognizing its spiritual meaning—beyond the chocolate eggs—is a way to show support.</p>
<p>Eid, celebrated by Muslims worldwide, marks the end of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) or the completion of Hajj (Eid al-Adha). These holidays emphasize gratitude, charity, and family gatherings. If your partner celebrates Eid, joining in the preparations, attending prayers together, or even just learning common greetings like “Eid Mubarak” can be meaningful. Don’t forget <a href="https://www.purdys.com/gifts/eid">Eid gifts</a> – you don’t need anything fancy here; quality chocolate, for example, makes a great gift.</p>
<h3>Diwali and Hanukkah: Festivals of Light with Unique Traditions</h3>
<p>Diwali, observed by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists, is all about lights, sweets, and new beginnings. Many cities in Canada host public Diwali events, so even if you don’t celebrate it yourself, attending one with your partner shows enthusiasm for their culture.</p>
<p>Hanukkah, an eight-day Jewish festival, commemorates resilience and faith. Lighting the menorah, enjoying traditional foods like latkes, and playing dreidel, are integral to the celebration. If your partner is Jewish, recognizing the <a href="https://www.history.com/news/hanukkah-traditions-origins">historical and spiritual aspects of Hanukkah</a> is the least you can do to show them you care.</p>
<h3>Lunar New Year: More Than Just Fireworks</h3>
<p>Celebrated by many East Asian communities, Lunar New Year involves family reunions, symbolic foods, and traditions meant to bring prosperity.</p>
<p>Watch dragon dances, by all means, but don’t forget the bigger part of the picture: understanding the deep cultural significance behind the customs. Participating in a family dinner or exchanging red envelopes (even symbolically) can make your partner feel understood and valued.</p>
<h2>How to Bridge Cultural Differences in Celebrations</h2>
<h3>Ask Questions, Show Interest</h3>
<p>Of course you’re not expected to know everything, but curiosity is key. Ask your partner about the meaning behind their traditions rather than making assumptions.</p>
<p>We recommend avoiding token gestures that feel performative—most people can tell when you’re just going through the motions.</p>
<h3>Compromise Without Dilution</h3>
<p>What’s important to understand is that you can merge traditions without watering them down. How do you do this? Well, some couples choose to alternate celebrations each year, while others blend elements from both cultures into one event. Do whatever feels right to both of you.</p>
<p>If one tradition involves fasting and another involves feasting, find a way to honor both in a way that respects their intent.</p>
<h3>Engage with Your Partner’s Community</h3>
<p>Celebrating together is great, but experiencing your partner’s culture firsthand can deepen your appreciation. A great way to do this is by attending religious services, joining family events, or visiting cultural centers.</p>
<p>When you choose to be present in these spaces, you show you’re invested beyond just the relationship (can also go a long way in helping their family truly accept you!).</p>
<h3>Create New Traditions Together</h3>
<p>Finally, if you’re both flexible, you can also adapt customs to fit your relationship – it’s a great way to <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2022/10/24/amazing-things-new-couples-can-do-together-to-strengthen-their-bond/">strengthen your connection</a>.</p>
<p>Maybe you introduce a multicultural holiday meal or start a new ritual that reflects both backgrounds? Whatever you choose, the goal should be to make celebrations feel personal (rather than transactional) and build something unique together.</p>

<p>Have you ever wondered what it’s like to marry a Ukrainian woman? In this article, we take a simple, honest look at modern love with a Ukrainian partner. You’ll learn about her independence, inventiveness, and strong sides. Read on to explore a fresh, heartfelt view on love and partnership if marrying a Ukrainian girl.</p>
<p>When men think about marrying Ukrainian women, they enter a world of modern love mixed with noteworthy traditions. Today’s Ukrainian women are smart, creative, and strong. They balance modern ideas with a deep respect for their roots, making every relationship a unique mixture of support, passion, and culture. For those looking to connect with these remarkable women, resources like <a href="https://womenstravelwisdom.com/">Women’sTravelWisdom</a> offer valuable insights and opportunities to find Ukrainian women seeking meaningful relationships.</p>
<h2>A modern woman with a strong mind</h2>
<p>Marrying a girl from Ukraine means having not only a beautiful but also a very smart lady by your side. Local women value education and personal growth. 56% of working-age women have a higher education. Additionally, a large percentage of Ukrainian women refugees, 70%, have a higher education. They often attend workshops on mental health and self-improvement. This helps them build strong, balanced lives.</p>
<p>These girls believe in taking care of themselves. They know that a healthy mind leads to a happy life. Many even visit psychologists to talk about their feelings and work on personal goals. This openness to self-care makes them good partners because they’re ready to share and understand feelings.</p>
<h2>Creativity and passion in everyday life</h2>
<p>Creativity is a big part of Ukrainian life. Many Ukrainian women enjoy activities like painting, singing, or even making crafts by hand. They often mix old traditions with new trends. Imagine a woman who loves to listen to popular artists like Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish while also making beautiful embroidery or vyshyvanka—a traditional embroidered shirt.</p>
<p>Vyshyvanka is more than just a piece of clothing. It’s a way for Ukrainian women to honor their heritage. If you find a Ukrainian girl to marry, you might wear these traditional shirts on national holidays, special occasions for your children, or give one as a gift. This mix of old and new makes every day a little more colorful and exciting.</p>
<h2>Partnership built on equality</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="size-full wp-image-9264 aligncenter" src="https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl.jpg" alt width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl.jpg 1280w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl-300x169.jpg 300w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl-768x432.jpg 768w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl-640x360.jpg 640w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/marrying-a-ukrainian-girl-980x551.jpg 980w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px"></p>
<p>If you’re interested in how to marry a Ukrainian woman, you should first understand the immigration process. Begin by applying for a <a href="https://www.boundless.com/immigration-resources/k-1-fiancee-visa-explained/">K-1 fiancé(e) visa</a> for her, and be prepared to prove your genuine relationship during the embassy interview. Once approved, you must marry within 90 days of her arrival in the United States. Remember, she is protected by laws like IMBRA and VAWA, which ensure that she is treated with respect and prohibits any form of abuse.</p>
<p>Marrying a Ukrainian woman means building a partnership where both people work together. They believe in sharing household tasks and supporting each other’s dreams. Ukrainian wives work together with their partners to solve daily challenges. Whether planning a vacation or handling day-to-day chores, they’re caring and supportive. This makes the relationship feel fair.</p>
<h2>Loyalty and true love</h2>
<p>One of the best qualities of Ukrainian halves is their loyalty. When they find a real connection, they stand by their partner. Their strong values make them devoted and loving. They bring a sense of tradition that is respected in every home. They celebrate important events and keep traditions alive. For example, many love cheering for Ukraine in events like Eurovision. This support shows how they blend national pride with personal love. Their enthusiasm makes even simple celebrations feel special and brings families closer together.</p>
<h2>Volunteering and caring for others</h2>
<p>Helping others is important to many Ukrainians. Volunteering is a part of their life. They take part in local charity events or help out in their communities. This caring nature makes them wonderful partners who always try to make life better for everyone around them. When both partners share this spirit of giving, it creates a bond that is full of purpose. Working together on community projects or helping friends in need can strengthen the relationship. It shows that love is not just about the two of you—it’s about caring for the world around you.</p>
<h2>Embracing change with a smile</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9265 aligncenter" src="https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman.jpg" alt width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman.jpg 1280w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman-300x169.jpg 300w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman-768x432.jpg 768w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman-640x360.jpg 640w, https://blog.loveawake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/how-to-marry-a-ukrainian-woman-980x551.jpg 980w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px"></p>
<p>One of the most attractive qualities of a Ukrainian woman is her ability to adapt due to the hardships their country faces. Life is always changing, and she meets these changes with a brave heart. Her ability to grow and learn makes her a strong partner. In a world where political situations, tendencies, and ideas change fast, having someone by your side who can adjust is a true blessing. It means that no matter what life brings, you have a partner ready to face it with you.</p>
<h2>Building a life together</h2>
<p>Marrying a Ukrainian woman means starting a journey full of love, adventure, and shared growth. It’s about creating a home where both partners feel equal and appreciated. Every day brings new moments to learn from each other and to grow together. Imagine planning a weekend getaway to a charming town, exploring local markets, or simply enjoying a quiet night at home with a home-cooked meal that tells a story. This is the life of a partnership that is built on trust, respect, and love.</p>
<h2>Learning and growing together</h2>
<p>In every relationship, learning from each other is important. A Ukrainian significant other often brings a fresh perspective on life. Her experiences and values can inspire her partner to see the world in new ways. This mutual learning helps both partners grow and become better together.</p>
<p>Whether you’re exploring new hobbies, trying out creative projects, or simply talking about your dreams and plans, the journey is always exciting. This shared growth makes the relationship feel like a true partnership where both people shine.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The magnetism of marrying a Ukrainian girl lies in her ability to mix modern life with old traditions. She is clever, imaginative, self-sustaining, and deeply loyal. Her love for life and her respect for her heritage create a relationship that is fair, supportive, and full of simple joys. If you’re ready for a partnership built on trust, equality, and shared dreams, marrying a Ukrainian lady might be the perfect choice.</p>

<p><span class="first-word">Over</span> the course of the last years, we’ve watched a number of high-profile cheating scandals unfold. Tiger Woods, Al Gore, John Edwards, Jesse James, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anthony Weiner, to name a few. The media and public response to each of these cases seemed to bring up the same two (somewhat hysterical) questions: “Why are so many men cheating!?” and “Why don’t we see women doing the same thing!?”</p>
<p>Here’s the thing: women cheat too. A recent study revealed that, duh, infidelity is on the rise, but that women are actually closing the gap on what has largely been thought of as bad behavior for men — apparently, nearly as many women are cheating on their partners and spouses. (Maybe we’re just better at not getting caught?) So, why do women cheat? What are the circumstances that led to their infidelity? And how did they feel about it in the aftermath? After the jump, 13 anonymous confessions from women who have cheated.</p>
<p><em>“I’ve cheated. A lot. I’ve cheated on boyfriends, screwed married men, and slept with the husbands of my friends. Now, not so much. Karma is, in fact, a bitch.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Have I cheated? The answer is YES. I was nearing the two-year mark in a relationship and was contemplating how to end it; so I hooked up with a friend and then broke up with the boyfriend the next day.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve definitely cheated on boyfriends before. I cheat when the relationship is going down the tubes. I don’t cheat when I’m happy and fulfilled. Either it’s a way to wreak vengeance on a crappy boyfriend, or a way to mentally end a relationship. My last serious boyfriend was a sweetheart that I just didn’t have chemistry with and I was having trouble working up the nerve/justifying breaking up with him. I cheated, and in my mind that was the point of no return — I had to end it after that.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve cheated on boyfriends before, but I’ve also been the ‘other woman.’ Most times I am not aware of my role as such until after the deed is done, and for the most part it makes me feel bad for the girlfriend. That said, if I’m not the one in the committed relationship, it’s not my obligation to make sure a dude isn’t cheating. Some might say that’s enabling, but acting like dudes can’t be held responsible for keeping their dick in their drawers is ridiculous. A few times I’ve knowingly gone into a situation where I was the other woman — in one case with an ex-boyfriend. Part of my rationale is that I dated the guy first and therefore he’s just as much mine as — or more so than — his current girlfriend’s. In summation, men are dogs. And so am I.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I have kissed people I wasn’t dating in two relationships. In both cases, I was too much of a wimp to end the relationship and wanted out. I thought that if I was bad, the guy would dump me or it would be a reason to end the relationship — because not being interested in them anymore apparently wasn’t enough? In the second case, the guy was actually going to forgive me and wanted to work through it! So, in the end, I had to break up with him anyway. I have since wised up.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I was seeing this guy I now refer to as the Sociopathic Closet Case. He was deeply in denial about loving the ween and wouldn’t have sex with me because he found female genitalia ‘repulsive.’ I was obviously out of my mind to keep seeing him, but he had certain appealing characteristics as well. Unfortunately, they were quickly overshadowed by his escalating cruelty. I was never good enough for him—not pretty enough, not skinny enough—and, looking back, obviously not man enough.</em></p>
<p><em>So one night I picked up a guy who I’d had my eye on and we were in my apartment making out when SCC called, wanting to chat. By this point I hated him so much that I laughed and talked to him like nothing was the matter, all the while, feeling good about having a naked man in my bed. I dumped SCC shortly after that. I never told him that I’d cheated, but if I ran into him today, I certainly would.</em></p>
<p><em>That was the only time I ever cheated and I don’t feel guilty about it. I feel stupid for ever having gone out on more than one date with him, but no guilt whatsoever for banging another guy.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve cheated twice. First I cheated on my high school boyfriend after he cheated on me. He made out with some female soccer player from another town and lied to me and told me the hickeys were bruises! A few weeks later, I made out with a guy friend and then fell asleep cuddling with him in his bedroom. We had a flirtation going on, talking on the phone and emailing, for a few weeks afterwards. I ‘fessed up to my boyfriend, and he made me delete all the emails from the new guy.</em></p>
<p><em>The second time I cheated, it was my senior year of college, at the very beginning of a relationship with my ex. There was this hot guy I knew, who suddenly realized that he had — almost — missed his chance with me. Even though I was in a new relationship with some other guy, the hottie and I hooked up. I never told my ex about it until after we broke up….ironically, while he was cheating on his new girlfriend with me.”</em></p>
<p><em>“When I was in college I cheated on my boyfriend. We were kind of on a break. But if I’m being honest, we weren’t, really. As the cliche goes, ultimately I cheated because there were huge problems in our relationship. But I also had a much stronger and very real connection with the guy I cheated with. We basically conducted an entire relationship on the side, while I still had a relationship with my BF — it continued through my mine and my BF’s various breakups and reunions over 2-3 years. I felt guilty for all the lying, but honestly, not that guilty. My BF had lied to me about all kinds of things throughout our relationship — his drug addiction, cheating, etc. That, of course, didn’t entitle me to cheat on him, but it apparently entitled me to not feel too terrible about it!</em></p>
<p><em>The stress of it sucked, though — sneaking around and lying is more trouble than it’s worth. It only feels exciting the first time out of the gate. To maintain a lie like that is exhausting.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I cheated on a boyfriend because I knew he was cheating on me, but wasn’t ready to break up. We were both young. Since we’re both Sagittariuses, I knew when he was lying. I had further proof he was cheating when after a tryst in his car, I found a long black hair in my butt crack. It was the summer and I wanted to have fun. So I whenever my BF wasn’t available, which was often, I called up the other guy, who usually wanted to spend time with me.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I have cheated once and only once. I’d been with my boyfriend for four years, two of them long distance, and I was starting to realize that I just wasn’t that into him anymore. Rather than deal with that, I decided to sleep with my smarmiest friend. I never told my ex or got busted. But I do wish I handled the situation better. I obviously did it to force myself to make get out of the relationship, you know?”</em></p>
<p><em>“A few years ago I was living with my then boyfriend. He used to cheat a lot before we moved in, but didn’t know I knew. He said he wanted to live together, stop messing around and get married. I was young, naive and thought I should get married and live a family life. Soon after, I got knocked up (we weren’t married) and kept the baby. When I was pregnant, I was alone a lot, because my boyfriend was out playing sports. I always felt like I was fighting for attention and after I gave birth, it was the same. I would be at home and he wouldn’t even kiss me hello because he was busy playing Xbox. I also didn’t feel very sexual anymore. I thought I lost my drive.</em></p>
<p><em>A year had passed and I reconnected with a friend from college who I used to have a crush on. One day the guy and I kissed. For the first time in such a long time I felt alive. It was like a sexual awakening. I didn’t sleep with him that time, but after a few dates it happened. I wasn’t intending to sleep with him, because I’m usually against cheating. Sex was so different and it was so sensual, like something I never experienced before. How did I get away with cheating on my BF? Every game my he used on me, I used on him.</em></p>
<p><em>Needless to say, he and I are no longer together. Things ended soon after, for many reasons. Till this day, he doesn’t know I cheated. I’m not proud but you know… s**t happens.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Oh yeah, I’ve cheated a couple times. If drunken kissing counts, I guess I’ve cheated a little bit on every boyfriend I’ve ever had. That sounds bad. Why? Because I’m still attracted to other guys, especially if we start a little flirtation and he makes me feel cute and sexy. It turns me on and I start fantasizing about having sex with him. I usually limit it to kissing though. Well, twice I’ve f**ked other dudes. A few times I’ve left my boyfriend for someone I’d cheated with just because the old relationship was getting boring and I was in the mood for some new excitement, and cheating counts as new and exciting.</em></p>
<p><em>Mainly, though, it has to do with another dude making me feel hot and sexy and good about myself. I guess it’s an ego boost. I’ve also done it as insurance in case the guy is cheating on me, in a bit of a power play move. Like, you can’t really f**k me over…I’m f**ing you over! Although that is twisted and I should probably see a shrink about trust issues or something.</em></p>
<p><em>But right now I’m in love and I really don’t want to cheat at all just because I honestly only want him. I still enjoy a little email/text flirtation from time to time though, just to remind myself other hot guys think I’m doable.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Depending on one’s definition of a cheating, I may or may not have cheated on my ex-boyfriend about a year and a half into our four year relationship. One night while he was working as he always did because he was a workaholic, I went to a party where I spent the night flirting and connecting with a cute boy. We spent hours talking about our childhoods, our dreams for the future — all the stuff you discuss after a few drinks with an attractive person on a beautiful night. Eventually, one thing led to another and we ended up making out on the back porch for a couple of hours. All clothing stayed on, body parts stayed covered and mostly untouched, but I felt incredibly guilty the next morning. I ended up crashing on a couch at the party and driving the cute guy home after we both woke up. Two years later, after things got progressively more strained between the boyfriend and me, he confessed that he’d always known about that night at the party and how I made out with someone else. I didn’t ask how he found out, but my guess was he got suspicious and snooped through my email. We broke up shortly after.”</em></p>
