2008-01-08 04:37:00
I know that the nuptials aren’t really an appropriate topic for DatingTales, but since it is engagement season I thought it was appropriate. Here are three bits of information I really must share.
1) One of my favorite bloggers has created a new blog, appropriately titled Wedding Idea Source, which is completely dedicated to wedding ideas. [...] ...

2008-01-01 21:33:39
A study was done over 30 years ago by the University of British Columbia in Vancouver that basically analyzed the sexual arousal of people on a scary bridge. Sounds odd and fairly simple, I know, but the results are interesting.
Basically it was discovered that in moments of high anxiety we are more likely to find [...] ...

Fergie and the Famous Pee Incident
2007-12-21 17:10:55
One of my best friends has a wonderful, robust laugh and a weak bladder to go along with it. One of her favorite lines is “That’s so funny I almost peed myself.”
Peeing your pants can be a little funny, but it can also be humiliating. Just ask Fergie.
Last summer in San Diego the singer had [...] ...

2007-12-18 18:24:34
There are many online dating sites, each having their own unique flavor that I recommend, however, I have a hard time recommending one in particular. eHarmony.
Although eHarmony has a unique, and somewhat private matching system, a mission to counsel married couples, and also a self-proclaimed diverse pool of singles, there is one thing that they won’t [...] ...

Writing Profiles Online
2007-12-13 18:42:25
A well-written profile is equivalent to having good table manners on a first date. If you don’t pay attention to the basics in dating either online or offline, you could miss out on a romantic connection.
The analogy of table manners is the same as having an organized and logical profile. Now this doesn’t need to [...] ...

What Do Drunk Men and Moving Have in Common?
2007-12-11 19:57:01
There are two situations in life where men feel compelled to flirt with women in an overbearing way.
The first and most obvious is the drunk situation. A little bit of false confidence can go a long way when a guy is mustering the courage to talk to a girl.
The second is when a girl needs [...] ...

2007-12-07 23:19:01
There are a few things that many of us don’t think about when it comes to marriage proposals. The reason is probably because it’s a hard thing to prepare for, and because it hopefully doesn’t happen that often.
Here are a few ideas for those of you on both the proposer and proposee side.

Gifts for Your New Boyfriend
2007-11-26 04:56:50
I struggle with gift giving, but when it comes to buying holiday gifts for someone I’ve just started dating, I’m helpless. I think the first step is to feel the other person out. Find out if he is big into holidays by asking generic questions about holiday plans and family traditions. Depending on how excited [...] ...

Eating on a First Date
2007-11-17 23:40:11
A friend of mine is having trouble incorporating food into her dates. It seems that either she plans for it and then is surprised to be without it, or she loses all sense when it comes to making decisions about it.

A Scrunchy From The Woman Before Me

I had been dating my boyfriend for about a year when I decided to bring over an alarm clock. I wasn’t moving in, per se, but I was staying over enough nights to require a proper waking each morning.

Hugs Might Get You Detention
2007-11-07 23:21:55
Have you read about the eighth-grade girl from Missouri who received two days of detention for hugging her friends? Apparently the school district has a strict rule against public displays of affection, which is evident in the fact that this otherwise well-behaved 13-year-old served her second day of detention yesterday.
The associated press quotes the student [...] ...

The Five Unavoidable Red Flags

We all have been in a situation where we look back and say we should’ve known our ex was an abuser, a cheater, or a jerk. It’s easy to do in hindsight. I know because I’ve done it at least 18 times.
The reality is that because we liked the guy we justified the red flag [...] ...
