  • Giving Up the One You Love?


    I have a sort of dilemma. It stems mostly from the fact that I'm 18 and have a strong potential to be engaged soon. 

    I just started college this year, and there's this guy, we'll call him "A", and he and I have a bit of past. We dated my junior year of high school, broke up when our religions clashed and he got to possessive of me, and we didn't speak for a year. He always treated me well, except he would get moody if I didn't do what he wanted (like sit by his side at the beach instead of swim, or stand near the wall instead of dance at prom), and he would get incredibly jealous if I talked highly of another guy (such as one of my many good guy friends).

  • Pushing for the Truth & Disrespect


    I got really upset today.  More upset than I've been in a long time.  Normally when that happens, I like to write about it to get it out of my system.  So I guess that's what I'm going to do now.

    Anyway, tonight I was at dinner at my neighbors' house with my parents, my girlfriend, and my neighbors who are my parents' age.  My family does stuff with them often, so it wasn't a big deal.  It was also the first time that my neighbors were meeting my girlfriend.  Things were going well for a while.  We had some good food, played with their puppy, and had a good time.  However, I started getting upset when my dad started asking my girlfriend how we metMore Here...

  • Who Was Your First Kiss?


    I really enjoy reading all of your stories on who your first crushes and loves have been. I thought I'd continue the little series of firsts with kisses. 

    I remember my first kiss was with a friend. We had just finished watching a movie and were sitting on the bed cross-legged and talking. He suggested we play this game where he will say something true about the room and I have to say it's false. 
     
    He knew I'd eventually lose and tell him that yes, the walls are in fact an off-white. The deal was that if I lost, I'd have to kiss him. There we are sitting on the bed and I leaned over to give him a kiss. Very Sixteen Candles... and dorky. 
     
    Who was your first kiss? How did it happen?

  • What Are Your Thoughts on Body Landscaping?


    Among my girlfriends, there's a wide array of tolerances for body hair. I've expressed on here before that I'm a big fan of facial hair on a guy, though I have my limits with that too. There's a fine line between having a clean beard and looking like the homeless guy who walks down my block all the time. 

    Still, I'm not at all perturbed by body hair... but I might be when it comes to a man shaving everything. I wouldn't mind being with a guy whose best friend was a trimmer, not a razor. Keep your stations clean, but please don't have smoother legs than me. I'll feel bad... and even weirder for wanting to pet them.

  • Dreaming of Lost Love While Engaged!


    I am engaged to a wonderful guy, and we're getting married in four months.  He's everything I was looking for and more.  However, I find myself still, occasionally, haunted by the ghosts of lovers past, and this is especially vivid during my dreams.

    The only real hang-up I have is "my unicorn"--a guy I had feelings towards for over ten years (from ages 15-25, give or take).  This guy and I never wound up dating--I was in a long-term relationship for the first half of that time, and during the later half he was studying abroad, in grad school far away, and/or in the Peace Corps.  Long story short, we never got together, but I've never felt more powerfully attracted to anyone, physically, emotionally or intellectually.  He'll always be under my skin. More Here...

  • Part 2: The Acute Love Triangle


    Many people read and commented on my post last week, titled "Wanting to Make Someone Cheat."  I told a little about a girl in my program who I really like who has been in a LTLDR with a guy back home for almost five years.  Perhaps I could have chosen my words more carefully for the title.  As I said in my last post, I have never approved of cheating.  This is just the part of the situation that makes me feel a little guilty. 

    A lot of people seemed to think I sounded like a scumbag.  Just to clarify, I am not some horny guy who sees something he likes and goes for it.  I have liked many girls who did not like me back, and by now I have learned how to tell when they're really not interested, whether they're already taken or not.  I also have lots of friends who are girls, and I know what women act like when they just want to be your friend. 

    If she and her boyfriend are currently happy together and she really loves and wants to be faithful to him, that's something I can wholeheartedly respect.  In the hypothetical event that this is not the case, however, why should I not want to pursue her? More Here...

  • I Am Jealous of My Crush's Best Friend!


    I promise to those of you who take the time to read my posts, to be excruciatingly honest and as my last post proves, I have been.

    Not my brightest, shiniest moments, I admit. I was hurting and lonely and he just happened to "pop-up" at the the most inopportune time. 

    In my very first post, I wrote about how I was seriously crushing on this person and I told him and it kind of blew up in my face, although we resumed some sort of a friendship. Fast forward several months later and we are tighter than we were before. We were discussing marriage and relationships in general, and he admitted that he was afraid. And My heart SANG HALLELUJAH! I KNEW IT! I knew there was something there, I KNEW I wasn't crazy!

    Part of the reason I cut it off with "bad boy" is because I knew in my heart of hearts that it was wrong from a moral standpoint and I knew I still had very strong emotions for my crush and I didn't want to be THAT girl. It wasn't me, I was raised with good morals and I didn't like this persona I had taken on. So, I apologized for my part in it, cut it completely off and feel much, much better as a person.

  • Not Attracted to BF's long Hair

    This post was submitted anonymously by a Datingish user.

    I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years; we moved in together 2 years ago.  I love him, he's my best friend! When we started dating, he had short hair.  He hasn't cut his hair in 3 years. 3 YEARS!  I hate it.  Hate it, hate it.  It's gross, sloppy, messy, hairy... it's not attractive.  It's a big turn off.  I tell him how I feel, but he doesn't care.  He likes his hair long.  More Here...

  • Riding a Bike Could Ruin Your Sex Life


    If you cycle a lot, and value your sex life, it might be time to hop off the saddle. Research from Yale University found women who cycle on a regular basis may be reducing the sensitivity of their vaginas. More Here...

  • Critiques in the Bedroom


    I knew a couple who would often do a play-by-play breakdown after they've done the deed. Instead of pillow talk or deep philosophical conversations (just me?), it was an analysis of moves--what worked and what didn't. I remember when my girl friend told our little group about it and the general reaction was a furrowed brow and a weird look. 

    I think the idea of openly talking about it is healthy and will eventually, inevitably, improve your sex life. Finding out what works and what feels good for both of you is what makes exploring one another so fun. To talk about it so honestly speaks volumes about your relationship.
