Rejecting Someone Nicely
Asking someone out takes courage. I find the process horrifying and refuse to do it until I grow up and move away from my Awk-town residence. One reason why people hesitate to let a guy know tha t he is attractive is fea… -
Breaking Up to Grow Up
I sit at a Starbucks on Sixth Avenue, catching up with one my best friends Penelope. She's in a relationship with a guy she's known for years named Sean. They're both about twenty years old. I've never met this guy befor… -
Can Long Distance Relationships Work?
I know everyone thinks long distance relationships are a terrible thing. And I agree. Couples should see each other often (out of sight, out of mind, anyone?). Well, history is about to be changed. My sister, Giraffe, es… -
Chick Flicks Guys Won't Mind
Mr. Lion wrote a post about "guy movies" girls might like as well. I'm not a fan of labelling movies as strictly for guys or for girls, but I am also the exception to the rule (I like romantic-comedies but I wouldn't run… -
Dating Someone with Conflicting Goals
Highly anticipating the arrival of the Season 3 dvd of How I Met Your Mother, I began rewatching some of my favorite episodes from the first two seasons. While doing so, I had some thoughts about the Ted/Robin relationsh… -
Drunken Sex--Date Rape?
There is this story floating around my school about a girl named Christina. She's dating this guy Ethan and they're really into partying. I've heard stories from friends of theirs that they often don't remember the night… -
Dating Someone Just Like You
Everyone's heard that old adage "opposites attract". But I think it's more interesting to discuss what happens when you date someone who is exactly like you. You share the same interests, the same hobbies, the same favor… -
Girls in Dangerous Relationships-A Classic Example
I recently saw this French film, La Fille coupée en deux or in English A Girl Cut in Two. I love French films but this one was incomprehensible. The language wasn't a problem (Once I master Spanish, French is next on the… -
When Friends Meet the SO
I was on the elevator this past Sunday and the other three passengers were three friends. I don't know them so I'll call them Elinor, Marianne and John. Marianne was telling Elinor and John about her new boyfriend, how g… -
Who Should Pay?
Traditionally, the man pays for the date. I don't really understand how that got started...maybe back when women didn't have jobs, they were broke so the man had to pay? Maybe that sounds ridiculous.It is in my belief th… -
Boyfriend is Vegetarian. So is She, Apparently.
My sister is dating a vegetarian. And I have no problems with vegetarians. I can respect that choice. And my sister's boyfriend is a good guy. He's funny, respectful to my parents, smart and successful. Sure, he did cal… -
Married to Porn
I read an article in Details magazine and it was rather interesting. It interviewed several men whose wives were celebrities...in the adult film business. These men dealt with the issue in very different ways. One guy fo… -
"I hate you but I love you, I can't stop thinking of you."
That is from the one hit wonder Stacie Orrico's "Stuck." My cousin, Monica, has this weird love/hate, will-they-or-won't-they relationship with a boy, Will, who lives across the hall. Monica, and Will have a rocky friend… -
TV Couples: What Happened?
I am a television addict. I enjoy sitcoms, even the bad ones. But the main problem is that the characters aren't real people, but stock characters. The only network show that has actual people is How I Met Your Mother. B… -
The 8th Deadly Sin
Nothing grosses me out more than infidelity. In my book, it is Dealbreaker #1. I've seen it in pop culture many a time (The Women, Little Children, Unfaithful, Sex and the City Season 3) but I've never experienced it eit… -
When Being Friendly Leads to Unwanted Attention
I have this friend and she is the type of girl who always has a few guys purusing her. It's not a bad thing nor is it her fault. She is a genuine, friendly, rather attractive girl who can make conversation with anyone an… -
Love & Other Anomalies
I've seen Woody Allen's latest comedy, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, twice. And it was even better the second time. This film has an extremely attractive cast: Scarlett Johannson, the amazingly talented Penelope Cruz, Patric… -
Honeymoon's Over and We're Not Even Married
I was in love with Julia. It wasn't sappy love or tragic love, just a normal freshman-year romance. It started with friendship (and a mutual love for Jane Austen) and it slowly became something more. It was casual and i…
