Graduates, Here's What You Need to Know About Dating Post-CollegeBy Chiara Atik from HowAboutWe

Just graduated college? Oh, the places you'll go! And also: the people you'll date!

Dating in the real world is a bit - okay, WAY - different from dating in college. The rules change literally the moment you hand in the keys to your dorm room. To help you absorb the culture shock, here are the key tips you'll need to prepare you for this new reality:

You're Going to Have to Put In a Bit More Effort.

Meeting people in college is as simple as going to class. That is literally all you have to do to meet people. If going to class isn't really your style, there are a myriad of other ways to meet potential love interests - walking across the quad, for example. Going to that party with your roommate. Studying in the library instead of your room. Not to depress you (or sound like the Princeton Mom), but never again will you be presented with so many single, available options of guys

Survey Finds Cheating Via Text is Worse Than Cheating in Real LifeBy Melissa Wall for HowAboutWe

When it comes to the definition of cheating, just about the only thing that all couples agree on is that if you have sex with someone else, that counts (and even then, it all depends on the kind of relationship you have). Still, in an era of digital personalities and cyber-encounters, there are myriad different ways to get into a cheating gray area. Like Facebook messaging exes. Or going into sexy chatrooms. Or sending R-rated texts.

So what is "cheating," and what is not? The answer, of course, is purely subjective, and depends on the comfort level of each person in the relationship. Still, it's always good to know what everyone else thinks.
And thus the Huffington Post, in partnership with YouGov, set out to poll 1,000 U.S. adults about what they consider to be adulterous behavior. Here are some highlights of the findings:

By Lilit Marcus for HowAboutWe

Although most corporate types would tell you it's a bad idea to mix romance and the workplace, the team on "The Office" never got that memo. As we say goodbye to the show, we also have to bid adieu to some of the most oddball relationships ever - particularly the love affair between Dwight and Angela ("Dwangela"). Though uptight office tattletale Angela and absurdist beet farmer Dwight finally made it work in the long run, they're not the only mismatched TV couple who made us laugh, smile, and wonder what in the heck those two saw in each other.

Why Brad Pitt's Support Matters in Angelina Jolie's Cancer Battle By Melissa Wall for HowAboutWe

Perhaps you've heard that Angelina Jolie recently had a double mastectomy. (Ok, you've definitely heard that Angelina Jolie recently had a double mastectomy.) The actress underwent the surgery to decrease her chances of developing breast cancer - the same disease that killed her mother in her '50s.

According to Jolie's op-ed in the New York Times, her doctors told her she had an estimated 87% chance of getting breast cancer, as well as a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. As such, rather than wait for the very likely event that she develop a tumor, she went ahead with the life-changing procedure.

Rich and famous actress or no, there is one thing that is beyond debate about Jolie's experiece: it's very hard to sit in a doctor's office and hear that you have a near-90% chance of getting cancer (the same cancer that

You may be lying to yourself.By Terri Trespicio for HowAboutWe

If you're thinking of taking a break from dating "to focus on yourself," you're doing yourself a big disservice. You're also lying.

Why? Because no matter how many reasons or justifications you have for needing a break, at the end of the day, not going out on dates because you "want a break" is little more than fear dressed as empowerment. Sure, it sounds like a well-thought out decision, perhaps even spiritually evolved…which is why it often escapes without scrutiny.

Not that you don't have excuses to back it up, because we all do: Work is crazy. My cat is sick. I want to renovate. I'm emotionally exhausted. I want to read more.

What you'd really like to do is pretend you're not looking for a great relationship. You'd like to be off the clock. So that if someone asks you what's doin' in the love department, you can say, "Oh, I took a break from that." Bang. You're officially unaccountable.

Don't sweat it, guys!By Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe

When we asked a bunch of guys to tell us what, if anything, they get nervous about on a first date, we were sort of expecting the usual answers: bad breath, what to wear, whether there will be chemistry, etc. But one common theme quickly emerged from nearly every one of the dudes we talked to: across the board, men seem to get really nervous about first date conversation.

It takes two to conversationally tango, but men seem to feel the burden of small-talk pressure pretty acutely:

So, what day is it?By Melissa Wall for HowAboutWe

Here's a brutal revelation about modern motherhood: the notorious pro-cheating site Ashley Madison (yes, the one where you can find the perfect person to have an affair with) announced that the biggest spike in women signing up for the site occurs on the day after Mother's Day. In fact, last year, they saw a 439% increase in new women signups on that fateful Monday.

This announcement has provoked the expected torrent of outrage - if there's one thing Ashley Madison is good at, it's using its own data to pierce our collective faith in the power of commitment, and clearly Mother's Day isn't sacrosanct. But before we all despair at the state of contemporary married life, let's take a closer look at what this survey is really saying.
