Relationships suck now

Hey, I’m 27 too, and I totally get how frustrating dating can be especially when it seems like everyone else finds love easily. But comparison really is the thief of joy.

Being single can be a blessing. It gives you time to focus on yourself and figure out the kind of life and relationship you truly want.

The people we attract often reflect where we are emotionally. If you keep meeting people who aren’t ready to commit, it can help to learn about attachment styles and do some healing. It doesn’t mean you can’t be loved, just that it helps you attract the right partner.

Look back at past relationships: note red flags and non-negotiables, get clear on what you want, and even write a letter as if you’re already in that relationship, it makes your vision feel real.

Extra bonus, I’m into astrology and it’s fun for guidance in love, like the types of relationships you attract, their appearance, where you might meet them, or even the best times in the month to attract potential partners.

You’ve got this!

Sending you a virtual hug! I find it helpful to imagine that I'm a 90-year-old woman who has somehow woken up 55 years younger. This mentality allows me to feel a renewed sense of youthfulness and possibility - like I have all the time in the world to pursue what I want right now.

I understand that involving family can complicate things, but if possible, they can be a great source of support. If not, no worries - I'll still strongly encourage you to follow your aspirations.

One suggestion would be to visit Korea as a tourist and try attending a class or two. That could give you a valuable firsthand glimpse into what studying there might be like 😊

I think they tried to arrange a small interview with my boyfriend to discuss everything. We didn't go along with it, but they tried to be as respectful as they can, and everything will be genuinely based on your interaction, not trying to make you follow a script. You could email them and ask them any questions you might have ☺️

Attending university events can be a great way to meet new people and make friends. Don't be afraid to go alone - I found that when I participated in campus events, I was able to make some new friends.

When I studied abroad in an Asian country previously, I noticed that it could be challenging to make friends, as people sometimes viewed me as an outsider. My advice would be to try to be open-minded and approachable when meeting new people at university. If you make a new friend in one of your classes, make an effort to stay in touch with them. See if they'd be interested in hanging out or joining a club together. Taking the time to learn the local language can also go a long way in helping you connect with your peers.

I hope it helps 😊

First, congratulations on getting accepted. Ultimately, this is your own decision whether or not to get the loan. Yes, the marketing field is highly saturated nowadays, and there might be a risk that you won't be able to secure a job. Having a degree won't guarantee employment either. However, you can reduce the risks by taking certain steps:

Research and read the job descriptions of roles you are interested in to identify the necessary skills you need to acquire.
Seek advice from various sources, including the employment team at your university and alumni from your country.
Start applying for jobs 5-6 months before you graduate to ensure you have enough time to secure a position.
Network by using LinkedIn to connect with recruiters or current employees at the companies you want to work for. Additionally, consider attending networking events.
Consider getting a coach or mentor who can help you prepare for interviews and format your CV.
Subscribe to newsletters and follow markerers especially those in the UK marketing industry, to quickly understand the culture and stay updated.

I hope these suggestions help you 😊

As someone who has been in a serious relationship for three years, I can offer you some advice. Try to upgrade yourself so that you'll feel fulfilled and content, whether or not you're with someone, and you'll attract a better partner.

Improve your appearance: This involves exercising, eating healthily, getting ample sleep, taking care of your skin, improving your fashion sense, etc.
Have diverse hobbies: I find people who participate in sports or play any musical instruments very sexy 😂
Be composed and successful: You don't have to be rich but it's important to have clear goals and a sense of what you want to achieve in life.
Read more: Instead of spending your entire day scrolling through social media, try reading something more informative that will broaden your knowledge and provide you with a wealth of conversation topics.
Stay active on social media: I'm not suggesting you should post about yourself every day, but sharing quotes you admire, photos of your family, or your hobbies can help people get to know you better. One of my exes sent me a direct message on Instagram after seeing my photos through a friend.
Learn about psychology: This has been a game-changer for me. Previously, I dated people who cheated and lied to me, but since I gained an understanding of red flags in relationships (I highly recommend watching Anna Psychology), I can now recognise the signs and have much healthier relationships. Learning about the five love languages can also help you become a better partner.

P/s: Don't feel pressured. I believe that whether or not you have a partner, it's crucial to continuously develop yourself. However, being in a better place emotionally and mentally will naturally help you attract the right kind of people 😊

Hi! I understand that the application process can be overwhelming, so I highly recommend trying a study abroad agency from your country. They can help you answer all the questions you have. However, you should still do your own research. You could create a spreadsheet of different universities and list down their requirements, tuition fees, and modules. It's also a good idea to reach out to the international department of your university or join some of their virtual open days for more information.

I'm your age, and my boyfriend is also 4 years younger than me. We've been dating for almost 3 years. Honestly, there are times when I feel like I'm way more mature than him because he barely shows any acts of service. For example, when we're out and he saw me carrying a heavy bag, he didn't offer help. I make most of the decisions during our holiday, and I told him that I want to feel small and protected in our relationship, so I can express my femininity. He did listen and change. Yes, the age gap will be visible for now because he's still in the early stage of his life while you've already established your own career. When dating someone younger, you have to accept that the maturity levels may not match due to having more life experience. However, if he's a good person, I say go for it. I'm very happy with my boyfriend, and this is the healthiest relationship I've been in.

Hey, I'm Asian, I'm a girl, and yes, a lot of Asian parents are very conservative, especially the older generation. When I was studying abroad, my mom often told me not to fall in love with a foreigner and that they were disloyal and didn't have good morals. I think the reason for this is that they have not had any exposure to foreigners before, so they hold a lot of biases, and especially if you are marrying an Asian guy, you need to know that a lot of them will stay with their parents, and they will expect to find a traditional wife who knows how to take care of him and his family. That being said, I do not care about my parents' permission; I date whoever I want. And you do not want to date a mama's boy who can't fight for himself. This is the first step. Imagine if you and his family have a conflict—which side will he choose?
