Ahoy-hoy!

We sat at a local bar, eating a gigantic platter of nachos, noticing that everyone around us (and ourselves) were going through rough and tough relationship times. We bought a journal earlier to write down plans for our upcoming Las Vegas adventure, and wound up compiling 50+ concerns about our relationships, men, love, taboos, and why the hell they're worth the trouble. So why not send those questions out into the world?

I'm Erica, I'm 24, and I'm married to a hottie named Dan. We have a one year old (Amelia, our little surprise) that kind of runs our lives at the moment, but that just increases my interest in making my relationship with Dan work, keep it alive, and make romance a priority. I try to keep things 10000% honest. I think my friends ask me for relationship advice probably because I've had a few successful ones, the last one ultimately landing me in marriage. But don't be mistaken. I was so seriously awkward growing up, I didn't even have regular friends, let alone BOYfriends. I grew out of this stage when I was finishing up high school, and I fully exploited that new found attention from males through college. I've had a couple long-term relationships, many many many dating escapades, and now I'm here to help educate the masses alongside my dear friend, Jill.

I'm Jill, 23 and I'm completely and utterly single. What makes me a relationship expert? Well, nothing really, but I've been in a few long-term relationships, one pretty serious and have had plenty of short-term love interests, all ended for reasons I'm sure we'll discuss in this blog. I have a good head on my shoulders and a sharp bullshit detector. I often give advice, sometimes to the dread of my friends, that's straight up and to the point. If your man's doing the right thing you'll hear it. If not, my advice will reflect as such. Not all men are perfect, but successful, loving relationships, albeit difficult, are perfect examples to live by (I find myself surrounded by them). I hope mine and Erica's experiences and differing viewpoints help you hash out your own and keep your loving relationship just that (or help you on your way to new found love)!

We're just going to answer the questions that we've asked ourselves, but if you want to submit any queries, please do! Leave it in the comment box below, or if you would like to remain anonymous, e-mail us at jillanderica@gmail.com.
