  • Proposing to My Boyfriend

    I'm proposing to my partner on the 29th. I've got a watch engraved with "Will you marry me?" but that's as far as I've gotten. I have no idea how, where, or when to do it!

    Does anyone have anything helpful advice?

    Guys, how would you like being proposed to? Ladies, have any of you proposed to your SO? More Here...

  • The Truth About Preference

    I'm growing bald; I've been growing bald since I was 15. Because I have genetic baldness, it's something that I don't have much control over. People have always told me that I have no reason to be upset about it; after all, I have little to no control over it, so why should I be upset over something that I don't have the resources to change? Even still, getting used to the fact that I was growing bald, that I was going to lose my hair that I felt helped me look physically attractive, is not something that I can just get over and accept.

    Being 15-16 years old and already experiencing noticeable hair-loss, I was scared; not because of something I'd have to get used to, but because I felt like no woman would ever find me physically attractive. I understood the basics about DNA, and I saw no reason for a woman to be interested in me as a life partner. Why would a woman have a child with me when she would know that the child's chances of developing baldness would increase? More Here...

  • When Love Turns Into Pain


    This post was submitted anonymously.

    My ex and I dated for 4 years before we broke up. He claimed that he lost feelings and he did it over texts.

    A few weeks ago, about 5 months since the break-up, he confessed his love to me again and asked for another chance. I agree with giving us a chance but not running right back to him because I want to see how he has changed (he claims that he has changed completely).

    We met up a few times and talked, then all of a sudden, he stopped speaking to me, texting me or contacting me. It's been about a week and most of my friends tell me to just give up altogether and never even talk to him again. More Here...

  • The Controversial Boundaries Between Friendship and Emotional Infidelity

    Before recent events, I had only witnessed one occurrence of "emotional cheating" in my life and that was several years ago when my aunt was carrying on what my mom called an "emotional affair" with her kids' little league coach and her former classmate. Before then, I never even knew such an affair existed. I had always thought that cheating was purely physical. Boy, was I proven wrong.

    Recently, I introduced two of my best friends. One, a single man in his early twenties, with wishes to start a life in the military - the other a young woman in her early twenties with wishes to move to a bigger city and pursue her dream of art. The catch to this: she was in a relationship with a soldier who was stationed 2,000 miles away.

    Over the months after I introduced them, they became significantly closer, even going so far as to exclude me from group outings, movie dates, lunch dates, and whatever else. When I got excluded, they began doing more intimate things: seeing movies as a couple, going to lunch as a couple, having dinner with each others' families, and even going so far as to spend the night at one another's house. She began to confide in him about her relationship and her overprotective boyfriend, but who wouldn't be if their girlfriend was cavorting around town with a man he didn't know, who was basically serving as a replacement for the man who was actually her boyfriend?

  • When Do You Stop Pursuing?

    If you have been off and on with a guy for a few years, but never officially dated, what are the signs that we should recognize to know if we're just wasting our time?

    May I say also, this person is friends with my brother...that is how I met him, so could that be a reason? More Here...

  • I Always Have to Initiate Sex!

    I'm writing this in hopes for some tips to fix my sex life with my boyfriend. It's not something I usually do since we talk everything out with each other, but I think it's time for some outside help.

    Our sex life has been nothing less than amazing since we first met, aside from one little problem: I'm the one that always makes the first move! It wasn't like this at first. He used to practically drag me to the bedroom so I know there weren't any issues with attraction. The problem is that we hit a snag in our relationship about 5 months in where we had a huge fight and almost broke up. More Here...

  • Yes, a Fetish

    I've had the same boyfriend for some time now. He's funny and sweet, he really listens to me, and at the end of a good or bad day he's the only one I want to see and talk to. We agree on most topics, but not all. That's what makes life worth living, though, isn't it? You meet new people with new Ideas, we grow, we learn.

    My boyfriend has this picture of these nipples- they are completely gross, ugly, worm-like nipples. They stick (give or take) an inch out of the young man who is posing for the photos. My boyfriend loves to show me this picture, may it be because of how gross I find it, or my reaction. He'll just say something like, "Hey! Look at this!" and when I look, I'm hit right in the eyes with that miserable photo.

    Now, besides the fact that this is immature of him, it really bloody annoys me. He will burst out laughing, and part of me is glad that I can amuse him, but my other half is upset that he finds my...dislike of this photo funny. I wouldn't constantly show someone a photo of something they find gross. More Here...

  • Is He Too Old?

    I'm 18 and there's this guy I work with who is 25. He's absolutely amazing, but I fear our age difference is a little to far. It's a 7 year age gap between us. I know if I were to be 25 and he was 32 it wouldn't seem like that much of a gap. But because I'm 18 it seems so much bigger than what it is. I think the main thing I worry about is what my parents and family would think. "Hey mom, dad... this is the guy I've been dating... he's, you know, 25."

    How do you go about that?

    Any comments and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you! More Here...

  • A Positive Look on Valentine's Day

    In the past, all of my Valentine's Days have been sub-par, if not tragic. However, this year couldn't have been more different. All day, I was in a semi bad mood, because my boyfriend lives 3 hours away. I knew there was no way I could see him, as I was at college and I was bummed out about it.

    So, I tried to cheer myself up by watching Disney movies and eating cookies with my friend Jordan. Near the end of The Princess and the Frog, she told me another friend wanted to see me. She lured me out of my dorm room. She later excused herself, saying she had to use the bathroom. More Here...

  • So... What Next?

    I started dating my boyfriend mid October 2011. That is simply four months with him! But we always joke about how in "our" time, it's been many months more. That the days apart amount to weeks and we mean it. Pretty cheesy, indeed!

    At first we both had our walls up but it was hard to keep them up. It was as if we were meant for each other with our constant "me toos" and similar interests. From music to foods to outdoor activities. I had always wanted to learn to rock climb. Guess what, he rock climbs and he taught me! It was just a match made in heaven.

    With time, our emotions haven't dwindled. They have only gotten more intense. Sex life?  Gets better and better every time!  We don't want to spend less time with each other but more. So much, he even went to the dentist with me and I with him to buy a car.

    We have talked marriage, kids, and future plans. We both know we want all those things with each other. When he talks, he says we not me.  He includes me in everything from, "What do WE need" in regards to groceries even though I do not live with him to "When you come with me to Minnesota" in regards to future trips he is taking to see his parents.

  • Nothing for Valentines Day

    This post was submitted anonymously.

    My boyfriend and I have been together for over three years. Our first year together on Valentine's Day, he got me a big red bear with flowers. Last year, we were tight on money, and agreed to only go out to a nice place for dinner.

    This year, we were not short on money. We went to Applebees two days before the actual holiday. He was busy studying for a test all week beforehand, which happened to be on Valentine's Day.

    Three days before, I got up and out of my way to walk through the snow to the store. I bought some chocolates and flowers, made him a card. And on the actual day of Valentine's I surprised him when he got home from his test with a fancy homemade meal with candles and fancy china and wine. More Here...

  • State-Sponsored Rape

    Virginia's poised to enact ‘State-Sponsored Rape’ law forcing women to be vaginally probed before abortions. Legislator suggests that women who consent to sex also consent to vaginal probing. And I say... what about rape victims. How can they force rape victims to be penetrated again against their will?

    The revised criminal definition of rape is “the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object." It is 100% rape as it is legally defined.

    Earlier this month, a bill requiring women to receive an ultrasound before they can receive an abortion passed the Virginia senate, and it recently cleared a state house committee with an overwhelming majority. The bill would force most women to undergo a stunningly invasive procedure for no medical reason whatsoever. More Here...
