"I went on a wonderful date last week. I encouraged myself to go to a networking event alone and ended up meeting an intriguing gentleman. We both decided to show up for ourselves, and throughout the evening we spoke about how we were new to branching out but determined to do so. The conversation felt illuminating yet platonic, so when he asked me to grab drinks afterwards, I agreed. By the end of the night, we were blatantly flirting and enjoying each other's company."
"The hopeless romantic in me wants to believe that you two will find each other if it is meant to be. In this day and age, it cannot be that hard to find a person.

"My husband and I have been married for seven years, and we don't have children. We originally agreed to hold off for a few years so we could enjoy married life with just the two of us. As time has passed, I've realized that I enjoy not having the additional responsibility that comes with children. We have been able to build up a strong savings while still being able to travel and go on dates often. We make good money, but if we had a child,"
