Relationships are so tricky to begin with. If you add in faux glamour and white lies to the mix, do you really know who you're dating? Is he really Mr. Right? Or is he really Mr. Maybe? You've been there. You've dat…

Okay, a lot of girls were saying that Brad Pitt isn't their type. So what if it was $1000 or the chance to sleep with ANY celebrity of their choice? Would that make a difference on their gold-digging ways? and I gue…

I’m a big fan of reading “Missed Connections” on Craigslist. There’s also a section in one of the weekly alternative papers called “I Saw You,” which is essentially the same thing. The premise of both of these things (fo…

Because it is a significant time spent alone performing routine tasks, the shower is often a site of creative thoughts. Because it is a place of nudity, sometimes these thoughts turn to one's own anatomy and its place in…

Miss Rhino The Walk of Shame Kit... where have you been all my life??? Specifically that frosty November 1st morning in 2007 when I walked across campus in full "Officer Naughty" attire... sans the handcuffs. I think…

Miss Gorilla Before we got together, my boyfriend and I were close friends first. Over the past year that we've been dating, we've continued to develop a strong friendship that means the world to me. Due to our growin…

I was reading a post on Datingish when I came across a comment posted by aspire_achieve. He said, "Girls should not believe guys when they say "I love you" until they're over 20 and have been in a relationship with the…

Remember Janice from Friends? She was an attractive woman, with long hair and a caring personality. Her downfall? The nasal pinched voice. As amazing as she was, Chandler dumped Janice. Her famous OMGs were just t…

My ex-boyfriend and I met in such a strange way. I had never seen him before and during an assembly I sat behind him and after that I saw him everywhere. Although we didn't know each other, we were always staring at on…

Miss Gorilla My ex boyfriend and I are on good terms now, but when we broke up a few years ago, the outcome wasn't so good. We had decided to go to college together four hundred miles from home, and when we broke up the…

Recently posted a blog about Online Relationships.I think people are misinterpreting what I'm trying to say on there. I spent nearly an hour trying to explain what I mean.Basically, what I meant by "Online Relationships"…

Can you fall for another person while still in a long term relationship? Would it be just infatuation/crush? It means nothing, right? My best friend has this loving boyfriend (been together for 3 years) - great guy an…

I've noticed a considerable amount of online dating success stories from those people or anyone else that thinks they will be able to pass on some online dating knowledge to me and anyone else seeking the same informat…

More and more I have been hearing about relationships where the girl is constantly slapping and hitting her SO. Being on the other side of an abusive relationship, I didn't realize how often men are in abusive relationsh…

"I love you," she said to me. One of the phrases I dread the most is this - "I love you." In fact, I dread it so much as to almost have an anxiety attack the first time I hear someone declare it. No, really - I do. A…

It has been always a fact that our mind and heart do not agree with each other. No matter how many times you dictate to yourself to choose and whichever won over, the failed faculty will seem to give you a reason to ho…

Miss Gorilla I'd like to think that most of the time I'm a pretty decent girlfriend. For the most part, I'm loving, affectionate, and giving. I surprise my guy with little gifts to show him that I care, I give him both…

So recently I have been running into my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend a lot. I went to high school with this girl and never had a problem with her. She was a grade younger than me so I didn't really know her well but I k…

I have always had an issue with selfishness and negativity. I just cannot seem to find the silver lining in things. I am generally a very miserable person. I have a severe issue with laziness; it practically takes an act…

Miss Giraffe There have been two things that are circulating around the 'net recently that a lot of feminist blogs have picked up: the appearance of a normal-sized model in Glamour magazine, and facials. Can you guess…

It's been a week since I've last updated. Why? Because this site isn't my "true" site, I have a confession to make. I actually have a Xanga site that I'm more committed to using than this. This site is just for me to ven…

Miss Rhino How do you deal with a friend that is obviously interested in your SO? It's the typical Brenda-Dylan-Kelly scenario. Brenda left for Paris and Kelly swooped in for the kill. We all saw it coming. Would you l…

Miss Walrus The countdown for my move back to my college town has officially started. I have exactly three days & counting. I am excited in the way I always am at the beginning of the school year. I love reuni…

Miss Gorilla One of my closest friends is a very sweet girl; however, despite her selflessness, she often finds herself in relationships with men who treat her very badly and aren't the least bit worthy of her time. Bec…

I'm in a very bad phase right now in my relationship. Someone I truly care about is gone from me. He left unexpectedly and I don't know when or if I'll ever see him again. We are not allowed any contact with each other,…

Can exes really be your best friends or is that just a waste of time? I understand that there are exceptions and what not, but sometimes it feels like me and my ex can NEVER be best friends. I still do love her. I've had…

There's a lot of talk about how you should accept your partner exactly as he is and not try to change him. How you should love him flaws and all, and if you try to change him you're being selfish and/or should just f…

He can cook everything else, but eggs. He drowns them in milk, to make them fluffy, unnaturally fluffy. I'm talking so fluffy, you can't even tell that you're eating eggs. Is there anything your SO can't cook? Is yo…

So summer vacation is coming to an end and I'm sort of running out of television shows to catch up on and I've always wanted to watch The Tudors and I thought to myself, here's my chance to watch the series. Big mistake…

Everyone has experienced hand-me-downs at one point of their lives or another whether it's clothes, books, shoes, etc... But what about hand-me-downs guys? Is it okay? Personally, I don't think I can do it only because…

Miss Rhino Initial impressions are imperative. So imperative in fact, that I chose to emphasize it with slightly obnoxious alliteration. Every time I meet a new guy I try my darndest to put my best foot forward. It's…

This summer I was talking to this guy for a while. I liked him a lot and he knew that I did but apparently he didn't feel the need to tell me that it wasn't mutual. He didn't hesitate to use me for all that I would give…

Recently there's been many posts about men which are stereotyped and inaccurate. Possibly, the hopes of many ladies on the internet were shattered when they read post after post on "guys" who could "only discuss such t…

Miss Walrus I encountered a strange situation last night when I was out with my boy, hanging out with some of my (also, boy) friends. Being the gentleman he is, boy drove to my town (45 minutes away from his humble abo…

I've been dating a guy from high school for about a month and a half now. Let's call him Jason. Jason and I get along quite well to say that we were on total polar opposites in high school. He was the jock, football play…

Recently there was a boy who admitted to having a very large crush on me (we'll call him Alex*). He explained to me how much he cared about me and when he was done I had no choice but to let Alex know I didn't feel the s…

There are several women in the world this day in age, that the options are possibly limitless for dating, which begs the question: "Where should I start first?" With that I have conducted a list of types of women to…

We've all heard the saying "Nice guys finish last". Based on my own personal experience, I've found this to be unfortunately true. I myself have, on more than one occasion, turned down the charming sweetheart for the mys…

Recently, a few friends and I had stumbled upon a conversation about dating someone who smoked. It was just a feature about the person that was superficial and that smoking would not deprive them of their true nature/per…

When you get to a certain age, you've probably kissed your fair share of guys. (Speaking from a girls point of view) Some are good ones and some are bad ones. A girlfriend of mine recently confessed that she's had a scor…

1. Mention her weight, or one of her physical imperfections, even in passing. Now you've made her self conscious. Self conscious people don't take their clothes for other people.2. When you sit down at the restaura…

Sounds stupid enough, am I right? But I'd like to know... because, well, I haven't been in love yet. There have been points where I thought I was in love. I never said the words "I love you" because I thought, well, if…

Miss Walrus Quick little question for you lovely readers: Does anybody actually e-mail? Now, I know I'm a bit of a social media junkie, but I would so totally Facebook message (or IM), MySpace comment or tweet my boy…

I always get this problem when I get involved in a serious relationship. At one point or another, the guy I'm with just kind of waits for me to call first. I mean, we're still in love and all, but when I'm not physicall…

Okay, I wouldn’t call it love. More like a crush. I met him at the beginning of school last year, specifically in English class. He had an extremely cute smile, and was very outgoing and funny. What made me start l…

Do girls ask guys out in Nebraska? I watched an episode of ‘Sex and the City’ tonight in which Charlotte started asking guys out instead of the other way around. She went so crazy with it, she “double booked” herself one…

The boyfriend and I have been together for three years. Despite our young age, it's not "puppy love." We are in a serious relationship and have talked about marriage, when we're ready of course. His family adores me and…

There comes a time when you think to yourself, "I'm too old for this shit..." and that time for me happened when I was asked to go clubbing with some girlfriends. As always, the place is overcrowded and the line is so lo…

When I was young, I imagined my "first kiss" would be special and wonderful. I couldn't wait for the day I would finally experience it!Unfortunately, after getting the "hang of it" - "it" as in kissing that is... I didn'…

Whether you’re a man or woman, at some point you’re going to go out of your way to do something nice for someone you feel is special. It can could be a gift. Or it could simply be a little something extra that you probab…

My SO and I have been in a very committed relationship for 3 years. I've never really had to deal with the "being hit on" thing because we've been together for so long and everyone at school knows. I've had the occasiona…

When I was a kid, I used to watch "The Love Boat" on TV. For those unfamiliar with the show, the basic formula for every episode could be summed up as follows: 1. Boy Meets Girl 2. Boy Gets to Know Girl, resulting in a…

I was watching Wall*E, and hit upon this question: Are Wall*E and Eve dating? Or are they just friends? I'm inclined to think they were just friends, because they're robots. But then, surely Wall*E must have known…

I got in a discussion with a buddy of mine, who is endowed with an equipment beyond the average man and has trouble finding condoms that fit him properly (other friends have verified this fact, it's not just his ego talk…

I always joke from time to time that my boyfriend should "find another girl" and "head into another direction", but whenever I say that, he absolutely hates it.I know I'm being a bad person, always giving the intention t…

Why is it so easy for people to put down and disrespect the ones they love, yet so hard for them to honor them, and tell them that they love them? I was talking to my boyfriend last night, when he pointed out to me that…

Well, let's start from the beginning. There was a guy in my class, who really seemed like he was into me - let's call him N. During class, N would try to talk to me a lot, bring himself closer to me, grab my shoulders, a…

Ladies, let's say you meet Mr. Right (Now) and you find out he's got a kid. You ask about said child, but don't get straight answers because Mr. Right (Now) hasn't seen his child in months. What if he didn't see his chi…

I was talking to my friend today when out of no where she asks me this question: "If your SO saw something in a porn and wanted to try it with you, would you let him?" I thought for a second and told her it depends…

Besides the obvious differences in definition, I've found myself in a situation in which I am "waiting" to "date". But what really is the point in this? I suppose waiting is a higher level of commitment, but does that…

Today I realized I think I have a problem. I had a "boyfriend" when I was in 6th grade. Since then, I have yet to have a relationship. I always thought I wasn't pretty enough or smart enough or cool enough or whatever,…

I know it's very superficial to think someone's name is a turn-off but sometimes... Just sometimes, there should be a list of names that parents just should NOT name their children after. Has anyone ever had this exper…

OK, so before I have people cursing me out and everything, I'll let you know this is more of my personal system of categorizing women. Some to most of you are bound to disagree with the distinctions. At the risk of an un…

Wait.... what?! "Why'd you say that? " "Please don't say that... " THAT was what I told him after he said, "I love you."Throughout this whole relationship, I've been patient to hear those three special words. Each time…

I was at a bar this weekend when a random guy started talking to me. When we introduced ourselves, he told me that his girlfriend and I share the same name. How ironic, I thought! That is, until he elaborated. He held up…

With the recent break up with my ex, I realized I needed to figure out what I want in a man. Now, I realize that what I want is not always necessarily what I need. So I tried to list some ideas out here. I'm not reall…

Well I am doing this one sooner than expected... But I've got to throw some thoughts out there. I have known a few people to state that they can't love. Most of these people were in relationships at the time, and the p…

Is love enough to make a relationship last until death comes upon you and/or your partner? Or does it take more than that? Do you think a relationship can last when you care for a person so much but yet fight almost ever…

Miss Walrus When I was younger, I had this (ridiculous) idea that my dream man would somehow magically appear out of thin air, parade into my life & resolve my life-long fear of being "the cat lady." I didn't real…

The other woman. She's the slut, right? The homewrecker? What about the guy who is cheating on his wife with her? I mean, isn't that even worse? He's the one who has made the commitment to his woman. He's the one…

I have this theory. If you're close with your brother or sister and you have a lot in common with them it's most likely you're going to have things in common with their friends. The older my brother and I get, the more…

Miss Giraffe I'm about to drop the f-bomb: feminism. I do consider myself a feminist. I do believe in equal rights and representation. Women's and men's roles in society fascinate me -- although they're more likely to e…
