  • I Lost My Number... Can I Get Yours?


    Last night I spent with some guy friends of mine.  Three guys, one for every ladies' tastes, as they explained it to me (Black, hispanic, white).  They are on vacation in Las Vegas for three days and of course trying to get as much action as they can.  Their game plan was to use me as the wingwoman (which I did horrendously at) and then their camera as an opener.  "Can you take a picture of us?"

    Now, as I female, I am more... staid.  I was not a good wingwoman because I don't like getting hit on.  However, these guys are attractive and would probably give women a fun night.

    What would be a good way for them to pick up women?

    Or even, How do I be a better wingwoman?

  • 11 Signs He Is In Fact Your Boyfriend


    After two months of exclusively dating, Mr. C still refuses to acknowledge that he’s my boyfriend. However, a number of tell-tale signs assure me that he’s in it for the long haul.

    A guy is your boyfriend if… More Here...

  • If You're Single, You Must Be...

    My relationship status is one word that does not paint an accurate picture of who I am.



    "Do you have a boyfriend?"


    I hate this question, more than most others. I am at a loss for words because this question always has an implied motive or will eventually lead somewhere I would prefer it did not. Most of the time, this question ends in me feeling negative and usually annoyed. Perhaps this is simply an example of my impatience with a majority of people (Really, must you interrupt me with your inane questioning?), but I detest being asked whether I have a boyfriend.

  • How to Tell Your SO You Were Raped in the Past?

     

    I have had a plethora of bad experiences in my past. I have been raped, I have been in a relationship where I was cheated on, I have been in a near-death car accident. A near-death surgery. A bunch of stuff, I literally could go on for pages.

    I am always a very positive person, yet whenever I talk about my history, I always feel like Debbie Downer.  I really am starting to fall for this guy. We have been dating for over 6 months, we have met each others families, he is amazing. Well when it comes to sex, I stop him from pursuing certain things, sometimes I stop him from sex all together.

  • Jealousy is Annoying, But a Little Reaction to Intimidation is Sweet

     

    Let me start off by saying that I am the anti-girly girl when it comes to relationships or guys in general. In fact, my roommate knew not to get all giddy when I told her about the guy I'm currently seeing. I don't believe in being obnoxiously spoiled or constantly attended to or all those other stereotypical wants and needs girls are "supposed to" have. I could go as far as saying that I'm on the verge to being a feminist, as well. All I ask for is a simple bit of TLC. I like things simple. I even get easily disgusted by too much cute-coupley stuff.

    With that said, the guy I am dating now knew all of that right off the bat, since I told him when we were just friends, and it appeared that it was his first time dealing with a non-clingy/needy girl. We even discussed our ideal relationships before anything happened and we both agreed we wanted something really simple. Something that didn't entail the mess of a title and a "so and so is now in a relationship with ____" facebook change. What we both found out we wanted was a serious-no-strings-attached-type of relationship. Now, that may sound confusing to many of you, but, to us, this ideal would just be like any other relationship without the title. Yes, some people want/need the title, but our thought was, if you want to be with someone, you should just be with them--no questions asked. I see now that, like many ideas in life, it is always better on paper than in real life.

    So this brings me to what's been on my mind: jealousy. More Here...
  • When Can You No Longer Ignore Your Way Out Of A Relationship?

    At What Point Can You No Longer Ignore Your Way Out Of A Relationship?

    Sad story:  I was dating this guy, decided I didn't like him, and then, blew him off abruptly. 

    Another sad story:  I was dating this guy and then, abruptly, he blew me off.

    Sounds tragic?  Sure, but I'm sure you've been there (and done that), too.

    See, dating in the 21st century necessitates that we do a whole lot of talking about what we are (boyfriend? girlfriend?  friend with benefits?  just friends?), but very little talking about what we are not.  Go out with someone once or twice and all you really have to do is ignore yourself out of the potential relationship, right?

  • Would You Like to Come and See My Etchings?


    My girlfriends and I were discussing what guys' motives are when they ask you back to their place. Okay let me rephrase that. What are guys' motives when they ask you back to their place after a date or a night of drinking, late at night?

    Surprisingly, some of the girls answered that he's expecting sex and they feel pressured to provide that pleasure since they went through all that "trouble" of being invited.

  • Monogamy Dieting



    One of my favorite relationship sayings is:  "Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu.  You just can't order from it."

    It would be silly to think that just because we are in relationships that we don't find people, other than our significant others, attractive.  It's human nature.  But it's integrity that keeps us from moving on our lust and just admiring from afar.  More Here...
  • Going Commando: Why is it Sexy?

    The odd topic of the day that came up at work was going commando.


    It all started when my coworker sent me this gynecology knowledge test with a slew of multiple choice questions. One of them asked which was the healthiest for the vag: lace, cotton, or going commando. I thought the right choice was cotton but apparently it's being in the buff. 

    So as some of us are debating about the choices, I expressed my dislike of going in the buff because I can't stand the thought of my bare bottom touching public surfaces. Sure I could hang around my apartment naked but then if my friends found out, I doubt any of them would ever want to come and sit on my couch. More Here...
  • The Purpose of Marriage



    Everyone has their own little quirky beliefs, often within a religious body. Perhaps because of this, many view marriage as a mandatory step in life; a sort of rite of passage.

    Others tend to see the step as cementing the relationship together, as being an official communal recognition of being mutually supportive lovers. More Here...
