How do you spot a pick me girl?

So, I have a little sister who occasionally refers to one of her friends as a “pick me” girl. Google says this is someone who seeks out male validation to a kind of a silly level, but that doesn’t really seem like it encompasses everything? I’ve asked my sister about it but she’s kind of evasive and not very good at explaining what she means. Is this a slur? Is that why my sister is kind of flighty about it? Someone break it down for me!

My friend recently told me about the Invisible String Theory and it makes so much sense to me (it's the belief that everyone who is meant to be together is connected by an invisbile string). I think this is a beautiful belief but I am wondering if it is really true. Does anyone here have experience with the Invisible String Theory in their life?

So my ex boyfriend and I broke up OVER a year ago, I've been out with other people since then and would consider myself "over it," but lately I've been having vivid dreams about him and I'm not sure why. It's driving me crazy! Is there some spiritual significance to these dreams, or something the universe is trying to tell me? Help!

Is there any truth to right person, wrong time?

Okay I was with this guy for about 6 months and I really think we could have been great together, but things just kept getting in the way of our relationship. He had just gotten out of a serious relationship and I think he needed more time to process things and move on. And I am finally hitting my stride with my career and have been devoting a ton of time to work, which made him feel like I wasn't making our relationship a priority. Last week we finally decided to call it quits and while it was the right thing to do, I'm still so frustrated because I feel like it was a case of "right person, wrong time." Does anyone else believe this? Do you think it's true that a "right person, wrong time" relationship can work eventually? Should I give up? I feel like he could have been my soul mate if Life with a capital L just hadn't kept getting in the way.

My gf and I have been together for 2 years and I want to do something special and different for Valentine's Day. Our go-to for nice dates is usually just dinner and a movie and that's fun but it would be nice to try something new and creative. So hit me with your best ideas!

i have personally found myself attracted to people who are very different from me, but when i think about actually dating someone like that i think it would be very frustrating very quickly lol. so i'm curious if anyone here has had experiences dating people who are their "opposite" and what that was like/if you recommend it? also if anyone has experience dating someone just like you...is it boring? lol

I feel like we always default to going out to eat or doing some shopping when we go out, and it's kinda getting a little stale tbh. Aren't there exciting things we could do inside that actually get us talking or having fun? I'd love to hear your pitches.

I graduated college this past fall and I am now moving to another state for a new job (hurray!). But, I am nervous as I have never been very outgoing and am worried I won't make friends in my new city. All of the friends I have now I grew up with or met in class. How do you meet people in the "real world"? Any tips?

Hi everybody, I've always struggled to make real and lasting friendships, I don't know where/how to meet people in real life and when I do I find that we hang out a couple of times and then the friendship fizzles out and I never really know why. I think I must be doing something wrong. Does anybody have advice for meeting people and making friendships last?

I'm ready to get into the dating pool and find a good guy that's right for me...I just don't know where to get started lol. I feel like you can't just bump into people like in the movies, so where do I even go to find a potential boyfriend these days? Any tricks to make a guy notice me and keep chatting with me? I want to hear it all!
