Best matches:
Fiery Leo is a great match for Libra! Leos are artistic and fascinating to Libras, and both love to be gushy when it comes to romance. For similar reasons, Aries is a great match for Libra, too. Sure, they’re technically opposite signs, but Aries is unique, upbeat, and a cardinal sign just like Libra, so the two of them are never bored with each other!
Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac, and like the set of scales they’re represented by, Libras have an innate sense of balance and strive for harmony. They’re also motivated to start conversations and instigate action in social settings, thanks to being a cardinal sign. Your Libra man is an expert communicator, always knowing the perfect thing to say in any situation to come off as diplomatic, tactful, and charismatic. He’ll make you laugh and become besties with your besties. And he’s definitely the guy you want to take home to meet the rents, and you’ll be confident they’ll love him.
Libra is one of two signs ruled by Venus, planet of love, pleasure, and relationships. Libra, being an air sign, is filled to the brim with romantic thoughts, and loves to share them. He has a soft, gentle, and non-threatening Venusian vibe, with great taste in fashion and art, to boot. He usually moves in a graceful way, but when the balance is off, it is off! If he’s caught off-guard or surprised, his demeanor immediately becomes clumsy and nervous! Honestly, though, it’s kind of cute.
Libras are known to be indecisive, weighing every option very carefully to find the best one before making a commitment. This can be a hassle sometimes, but it stems from his open-mindedness and willingness to find a solution. He’s the best guy for finding a silver lining to every cloud, no matter how dark or stormy it appears to be. His natural optimism is one of the main reasons why he’s such a great partner to have–he always has the perfect advice to give, ice breaker to strike up a conversation, or witty one-liner to make the whole room laugh.
Being the sign of relationships, your Libra guy is hella social and has a ton of friends, but everything you do is as a partnership. He’s so relationship-focused that it could feel as if you’re joined at the hip sometimes, but he also turns every outing into an exciting and romantic experience with his charm and silliness. He truly treats you as an equal (if not someone better than him) and is super accommodating, especially when it comes to the bedroom. Not only is he putting your needs before his, but he’s open to kinks and new positions. Variety is the spice of life for him, and he’ll try anything once.
His fun-loving, flexible nature can get annoying, however, when you feel like he’s actually inconsistent. Libras can come off as shallow and uncommitted in the early stages of dating–he can be your Romeo at first, but then ghost you in the blink of an eye. And then right when you think he’s over you, he’s back, charming as ever and acting as if he never went anywhere. He’s openminded and openhearted, which can be a good thing if you’re actually dating him, but when he’s too busy debating if he actually likes you or not to commit, he can put you through a lot, emotionally.
Geminis have the reputation as the Zodiac’s most two-faced sign, but Libra is more than capable of stealing that title! He changes his tone and mannerisms in order to be well-liked by everyone around him. His ability as a master wordsmith is a huge asset, but also potentially his worst trait, as his words drip with honey when he’s with a crowd, but his silver tongue can turn sharp if the two of you get into an argument. He’ll rebalance eventually and go back to being sweet, but you might not move on as easily.
Once you lock down a committed relationship with a Libra (which is half the work, honestly), the real challenge is handling his need to please and tendency to talk for hours. He’s a chatterbox who can exhaust someone who thrives in silence, especially when he presents a dilemma, asks your opinion, challenges it until you agree with him, and expects you to defend his original opinion! It’s a crazy dance you have to keep up with, but it’s all lighthearted banter to him. Entertain his love for conversation, indulge him in his need for romance, and be patient with his indecisiveness if you want to enjoy the pluses of dating a Libra!

Charly Caruso Talks Dating In WWE, Advice From Paige After Recent Break-Up – eWrestlingNews
WWE broadcaster Charly Caruso was recently a guest on former ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s podcast, “Chasing Glory.” Caruso talked about the difficulties of dating, how being in WWE affects her dating life, and some advice she recently received from Paige. Here are the highlights:
The difficulties of dating: “I think it has created a little bit of a barrier because when I meet someone I am pretty guarded, and I don’t know if it’s necessarily because we have past experiences where we have our defenses up, but I think part of me isn’t used to seeing these healthy and strong relationships so I am almost like, well, is it possible for me to have one?

“I know that dating and having relationships are so much different with technology and social media that it is – just trying to date in this era, especially in New York City is just a trip,” Caruso said. “I think a lot of people in these places were all so focused on themselves and career-driven that relationships end up taking a backseat.
“Whereas, middle-America a lot of people are used to settling down at earlier ages, and that is kind of like one of their plans where they want to get married and have kids, which becomes their primary priorities whereas in these big cities like New York and Los Angeles you see people settling down much later so dating is very wild.”

How being in WEW affects her dating life: “Just to be with someone who can understand what you are going through, I mean, it is a lifestyle that not a lot of people cannot handle,” Caruso said. “You have to be very secure with yourself. I have guys that I have dated and they’re like, ‘So, are you hooking up with the wrestlers?’

“Like, okay, just relax, if you are my boyfriend there is nothing to worry about. You shouldn’t have to worry about other people or be intimidated. They say things like, ‘Well, you are around all these attractive people all the time.’
“Or, when I worked at a news station where I was around people from the NFL and the NBA, and guys would tell me that they wouldn’t like that I would be around those people, but I would say that it is my job and you don’t really have a say in it and this is how it is going to be.”
Advice she recently received from Paige: “You would have to be around a strong guy who is very secure with himself, also just supportive of what you are doing,” Caruso stated.

“I was just having this conversation with someone the other day, it was Paige because she just broke up with her boyfriend just recently, and I told her, you know, every guy says that they want this strong and confident woman and that is what they love about you, but it is only a matter of time where they start resenting you for that, and they can’t keep up with you and that they don’t like that you are so dominant or so successful because then it makes them feel less secure, which isn’t the case for everybody, but with my past experiences that has how it has been for most of the time.”

Online Dating After 30: The ROI Is Awful – Refinery29
The online dating ROI is bullshit, and this is the hill I’ll die on. The invested effort of heterosexual single women looking for men to spend time with online is not met with a proportional return, not by a goddamned mile, and this disparity does not exist elsewhere. Want to get in better shape, feel more fit? Work out, it’ll happen. Want a better job, better salary? Work hard, pursue it, you’ll get there. Want your home to feel more organized? Clean the motherfucker. The established relationship of effort-to-result is challenged in online dating in a manner that is nothing short of madness. Honestly, there are slot machines in Vegas looking at the online dating odds right now and finding them unfair.
Sparks fail to fly for mom dating her perfect match – Sumter Item
DEAR ABBY – I have a close friend who is in her mid-30s. She’s a wonderful, divorced, hardworking Christian mother of four who has finally ventured back to the dating scene. She’s currently seeing a guy who in all respects is perfect for her, she says. Unfortunately, when it comes to romance, for some reason she can’t seem to get aroused, and it’s now at a point where she avoids his kiss if possible.
She really likes him and would love for this to work and feels conflicted because she doesn’t know how to “light her fire” and find him intimately attractive. She’s afraid she’ll eventually push him away even though she wants the exact opposite. Any advice I can pass along?
Needing a friend in the Southwest
DEAR NEEDING – Your friend needs to understand why she’s having a problem “getting her fire lit.” Could it be related to her divorce? Her feelings about premarital intimacy? Has she seen her doctor to rule out a physical cause? Or could it be that although he looks good on paper, there’s simply no chemistry?
Because intimacy is an important part of marriage, she needs to be honest with herself about why she’s reacting the way she is. If this isn’t the only man this has happened with, and she can’t find the answers within herself, some sessions with a licensed mental health professional may be in order.
DEAR ABBY – My son and daughter-in-law are “horrified” that we refer to our 3-year-old grandson’s penis using the correct terminology. Should we relent and refer to that part of his body as something else?
Unsure in the South
DEAR UNSURE – Not in my opinion. Children should be taught the correct terms for their body parts as soon as they are aware enough to identify – and pronounce – them. To do this will prevent confusion and possibly embarrassment later.
DEAR ABBY – My husband invited his good friend (an artist) to stay with us for two nights because he is coming to our city to give a speech. He accepted.
We tried to contact him two weeks ago, one week ago, three days ago, yesterday and this morning to find out what time he’ll arrive so we can plan our schedule and prepare the food. He still hasn’t gotten back to us. I had planned to go to church and a concert afterward. My husband doesn’t want me to leave.
I am very frustrated about the man’s lack of consideration. My husband considers him a good friend, but after the way we are being treated, I’m not convinced.
Still waiting in California
DEAR STILL WAITING – I don’t blame you for being miffed. Good friends don’t treat each other so rudely. They answer their messages and show up when they’re expected. Unless the man was in the hospital, solitary confinement or dead, there’s no excuse for his poor manners. Because your husband considers him a good friend, he should have stayed home to welcome “the artist” and let you off the hook.
