We Aren’t Facebook Friends
At the bar a few weeks ago, a boy named Chris asked me for my number. I don’t know his last name. We didn’t become friends on Facebook. Over the phone I learned he is originally from Vancouver, BC, is completing his Masters Degree in Social Policy and remembered I have green eyes. Because we...

When all of that wears off we are left with the what now? feeling. Every new relationship gets to this point. We fear...
