Hum-diddler
2008-05-08 22:27:08
Planned Parenthood has this very creative Web site dedicated to sex, STDs, and getting tested. It’s called TakeCareDownThere.org and really the name says it all.

What To Do When He Says He Lost Your Number
2008-05-07 05:50:43
Raise your hand if someone you dated and thought liked you never called you back? OK, now keep your hand up if after several weeks you ran into him and he said he lost your number?
One, two, three… I guess that is every single one of us.
Although this excuse for not calling is lame, it’s [...] ...

The Seven Best Ways to Accept a Compliment
2008-05-04 01:30:46
Giving compliments can be difficult, but sometimes accepting a compliment can be even harder. I know that I am often taken off guard and don’t know what to say and will just answer with a “you too” and blush.
Truly, some of us are just not good at the compliments thing so here are some [...] ...

2008-04-24 05:03:49
My handbag.
My Golden Goddess Satchel –you know the heavy one that hurts my back but I love anyway–well it seems to be causing relationship trouble for me lately.

What to Do When All You Date Are Jerks
2008-04-22 04:08:43
We are all frustrated by the same dating patterns we’ve all got. You ask yourself, why do I end up dating the same guy always? Every boyfriend reminds me of my dad, why? The guy with the really spiky hair is the only type that approaches me, how come?
You date the same type of guy [...] ...

Listing Income On Your Profile
2008-04-18 17:45:21
Many single sites ask about your income, but leave it optional to answer. On the one hand I think the income question is irrelevant because you could probably figure it out on your own by just by punching in their job title on salary.com. But then on the other hand, it could let you know that you and [...] ...

What the Chiropractor Said to My Handbag
2008-04-11 18:15:45
I suffer from chronic neck pain. It’s probably not fair to throw the word chronic in there because no one has ever told me that my condition is chronic. All I know is that my neck seems to always hurt and frankly, I’m just annoyed by it and I’ll call it chronic if I want [...] ...

2008-04-08 01:15:01
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Take the next few weeks to really take the time to learn about the issues and educate those around us. There are many statistics that I could list here that would be depressing and scary, but all that stuff doesn’t really explain how someone feels when they are assaulted anyway so I [...] ...

Exchanging Phone Numbers on the Highway
2008-03-28 17:11:31
Through the years I’ve given out my number in all kinds of ways, but the most unique phone number giving strategies were inspired by friends.
For example, awhile back I frequented this Italian restaurant in my neighborhood and developed a ginormous crush on the waiter. His gorgeous blue eyes spoke to me for months. Finally, my [...] ...

Pay For the One You Brought
2008-03-24 23:58:56
Several months ago I asked, who should pay on a first date? Quite a few of you answered and I think the answer is pretty clear. Whoever asks for the date should pay for the date. That sounds fair to me.
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate [...] ...

Financing My High-Priced Obsession, Give Me Elaine Turner
2008-03-23 02:16:32
One of the best sales people I’ve ever met was at the Clarins Beauty Counter at Nordstrom’s.
After my “free” make over she managed to peak my interest on $280 worth of product. I wanted each tube of whatever botanical cream, oil, and lotion that promised ultimate beauty. The only problem is that I didn’t like [...] ...

My Hobo International Rachel Wallet Lost at Sea
2008-03-14 17:54:36
Last summer I served as a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. After a very unfortunate event, I lost my Hobo International Rachel Wallet that I doubled as a clutch. It’s been eight months and I’m still not over it. That’s how much I loved that thing.

Boyfriend Abuse: Superbad Makes Me Violent
2008-03-09 21:04:40
Anyone who knows me well can attest to my non-violent nature. Last night that non-violent side of me disappeared after three glasses of wine and 1 1/2 hours of watching the movie Superbad.
And that something is misdirected violence.
While sitting on the couch I practiced balancing a tennis ball on my head with arms spread wide. [...] ...

The Pros and Cons of Dating a Pilot
2008-03-07 17:57:25
During some recent travel I overheard a lot of romance talk from airline staff. I heard things like:
(Woman on cell phone) “What am I supposed to think when I see you traveling with a woman during the holidays?”
-and-
(3 flight attendants on the shuttle) “My roommate, another flight attendant from another airline–can’t keep her mouth shut. [...] ...

Dear Ex-Boyfriend, You Were a Bad Kisser
2008-02-29 17:11:38
Dear Bad Kisser:
I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to offend you or hurt your feelings by shrieking in disgust after our first kiss. Many times I liked you and didn’t want to ruin “a good thing” by being so picky about something as small as a kiss. But the reality is that a [...] ...

Meeting Men on Mass Transportation
2008-02-26 17:09:56
Commuting every day on mass transportation can give the mind a lot of time wander. When I lived in Boston I had a one-hour commute each way, and since I arrived and departed at exactly the same time each day, there were several men I got to see routinely. Cute men, I might add.
