relationships

If you want to cut the alcohol and really remember that first date, we've got some alcohol-free summer date ideas that will definitely be memorable enough to lead to date number two.

This will be a fun and festive weekend full of parties, beads, and green beer, and it can only be ruined by one thing. Dumb pickup lines! Prepare yourself for these doozies, and don't use 'em if you want to have any chance of moving into someone else's personal space.

The reliance on GPS is destroying our brains.  Some of us have become incapable of driving anywhere without the aid of technology and sometimes this means we're driving five miles out of our way just because a handy gadget told us to.  Are we trusting GPS too much?

If you don't get your stuff back before  you break up, you might be finding it at the Goodwill Lufkin. Valentine's Day is a good time to purge memories of the ex, and one way to do that is to dump the stuff off at a Lufkin-Diboll-Nacogdoches Goodwill location. Lots of relationship leftovers will be donated, and Goodwill loves the idea.

Lufkin offers glass recycling now.  But if statistics are any indication, guys probably aren't going to do it, because being green undermines their ability to feel macho.  Really?  Does going green make you feel like a wimp?

Some say the craft beer industry caters to men, and that the industry should work on attracting a more diverse fan base.  Does it really matter?  We wonder what East Texas craft brewers think.

Texas' own Chip and Joanna Gaines have that wildly successful show on HGTV called Fixer Upper, and their empire is continuing to grow with a new project this fall. We've seen Tarek and Christina (Flip or Flop) and other happy couples work on home improvements together, and they just might be helping us stumble upon the secret to marriage success.

On Father's Day weekend, one dad paid $900 for a full-page ad in a newspaper to find his son a wife.  Without his consent!  See which paper ran the ad, and could this craziness ever happen in Texas?

That Sadie Hawkins Day is coming up, when women traditionally pop the question instead of the guy.  What are the odds that guys will say yes?

Do you sleep better when you're by yourself? More people in Texas are kicking that significant other out of the bed, so they can get a good night's sleep alone.  And they're not regretting it!

Online dating is such an adventure! And sometimes not in a good way. Just when I thought I had seen it all and nothing could shock me, something happened last week that made me want to throw in the dating towel. Unfortunately, this may have already happened to you too.

So you fall in love, follow each other on social media, like all of each other's posts, and then break up. Awwwkward! But now you can limit the posts your ex sees about you, on at least one social media site.
