Skype is sexy technology. Initially created as a free long distance calling device, our generation is exploiting Skype in a way our love-letter-writing grandparents would blush at. But is 24-hour access ruining the romance?

Long distance doesn’t feel so long distance when the one you want is only a webcam away. Who cares if you live your lives with a 12-hour time difference? If you’re sleeping when they’re awake you can leave your laptop on and wait for the delicious Skype calling sound to wake you up.More Here...

Maybe so and so just sent you a really nasty text message. Maybe he ignored your calls. Maybe she stood you up. Maybe he said something stupid. Maybe she cheated on you. Maybe your best friend is moving across the country to live with someone. Maybe you're splitting up with your SO.

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 met.  More Here...

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...

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...
