Apps for Meeting Friends

So many of us are looking for friendships and not love interests but don't know where to start.  Well there is an app for everything. From parenting, to arts and crafts, to pet lovers, to I'm new in town and strange hobby enthusiasts, there is an app for that. 

Here are a few apps to help you cultivate local relationships and they are all free:

• Meetup - Meetup works across thousands of cities.  It brings together groups of people that have common interests.  Whether it's a group of people your same age or people who have similar interest Meetup should have something for you.

• Peanut - This app hopes to build a community of women who also happen to be mothers. You can spend time in the app chatting via a group chat facility and discover and connect with moms like you, near you.

• Meet My Dog - Us dog walkers know how easy it is to randomly talk to people while walking our pet, but Meet My Dog makes it simpler. You can easily us it to see what other dogs are in your area, chat with their owners and even set up play dates for you and your precious pooch.

• Skout - This works on preferences and proximity similar to a dating app but it's for friends. You can use it to meet new people, no matter where you are, even if you're just visiting a new area. You can get updates from nearby users and it's ideal for those who travel regularly and want to meet new people.

The world sometimes can feel much bigger than it used to, and can feel like a much lonelier place. It doesn't have to be. Just grab your smartphone download an app and make a friend.



"Venus Meets Mars ~ Adult Conversations Between Men & Women - Could You Be In An Open Relationship?"

I believe the vast majority of folk still prefer a traditional relationship, a one-on-one type of deal. But there are others who pine for and are engaged in open relationships.

The cast of  "Venus Meets Mars" that aired on the "Taylor Love Show" shared their views on the topic and it was quite interesting.  For the deets, you'll have to wait for the book....




An open relationship is an interpersonal relationship where the parties want to be together but agree to be non-monogamous. But what does that really mean?  Does it mean flirting, sex, emotional attachment?  All parties involved must sit down and decide what works best for them.




Also, they must be honest.  Will they divulge their outside relationships in detail. Do both parties want to know what happened and with whom?




I'll define and share a few open relationship types and you tell me "Could You Be In An Open Relationship?"

There are several different styles of open relationships like:

• Polyamory - A person who has more than one intimate relationship at a time with the consent and knowledge of all involved. I liken this more to cult behavior, but that’s just my opinion.

• Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell - I think this is most common, also known as cheating. This is where each partner does their own thing without consulting or the knowledge of the other to some degree. Hell you might be in a “Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell” relationship right now and “Don’t” know it.

• Swinging - A lifestyle where you and your partner are committed to each other but engage in sexual activities at the same time with other people.
