Breaking All the Rules

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:01:00 GMT

Today my ex-boyfriend and I had a conversation about his constant use of rules in dating. It wasn't him having rules that we disagreed on, but what I interpret as him breaking them all whenever he wants, to the point where I fail to see how they serve him in the first place. More Here...

What's Considered a Normal, Angry Reaction?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:01:00 GMT

The other morning, my boyfriend and I were working alongside each other at a meeting for our school newspaper. He was getting frustrated about a couple things, and basically got bitchy, snappy and took his irritations out on me.

I was so angry that when he touched my shoulder, the only thing that went through my head was "Don't touch me." I didn't say it out loud, nor did I reply to whatever he was saying to me.

Have you ever been able to hear your own voice in your head? When this thought jumped up, I could hear my own voice, and it sounded pretty cold. More Here...

Thoughts During Sex

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:01:00 GMT

Some people fantasize during sex, others concentrate, and others shut down their brains so they can sit back and enjoy. What do you think about during sex?

I try to just lose myself in the pleasure, and get my brain to turn off during sex. I want everything to be solely focused on the physical and emotional connections and pleasure while my boyfriend and I make love.

What do you think about during sex, if you think at all? Any weird thoughts come up during sex? Funniest thought during sex?

Why Do Men Always Need Proof?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:01:00 GMT

There are some things that have been frustrating me about guys, or the guys I have experienced anyway.

Why is it so hard to get guys to have an open mind? When I try to tell a guy something, whether its a humanitarian topic like the fact that not everyone has the opportunity to to go to school because they may have things preventing them like poverty, no guidance, difficult life, or even just a fact that I learned from school (I am a Education / Psych. major), basically any variety of a topic, they need evidence. Or else they challenge everything you say. They can't just have an open mind and think "that's possible". More Here...

Odd News of the Day: The Dating Habits of iPhone Users

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:01:00 GMT

You might be using your cell phone to make your Saturday date night plans, but it's your cell phone that is dictating your love life. At least if you're an iPhone user.

According to research done by Retrevo, iPhone users have specific dating habits that revolve around... well their love of technology. How geeky is that? Retrevo asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" iPhone owners prefered cool gadgets over a college degree three to one.

- One in three iPhone owners has texted or emailed their significant other to break up.

- One in three iPhone owners say that, if their partner had out-of-date gadgets, it would be a turnoff.

- One in five iPhone owners admits to frequently watching “adult material” on their iPhones. (Twice as many as BlackBerry owners).

- One in four iPhone users has broken up with their partner because that person spent too much time on their mobile device.

Seriously? I may have been secretly loathing those iPhone users as I not-so-patiently wait for my Blackberry to load, but now I have good reason to despise them. It looks like we are one-step closer to technology ruling the world. It seems it's already taken over the dating world.

Thoughts on this research? Are iPhone users really that hung up on gadgets?

"Hope Long Distance Works Out For You"

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:01:00 GMT

I've been put in a really awkward situation recently. For a little background information, I'm currently enrolled in college in NYC, and my boyfriend goes to school in Philadelphia. It's a long distance relationship, but we speak to each other everyday, and he comes up every other, if not every, weekend. We're completely open with each other. I tell him about the guys that like me, what they try to do, when I'm hanging out with them, etc, and he does the same with me. We have full trust with each other, but sometimes we're a bit wary of the other party.

My boyfriend just left to go back home for the week. He came up Friday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. Right before he came though, something very awkward happened. More Here...

Say What You Can't Say

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:01:00 GMT

Is there a person or a loved one that you have always wanted to tell them something but you can't?

Whether if it's guilt... or something sad... or compliment... Express it all here like you are talking to that person! Maybe it will help.

I'll start first to my boyfriend:
I wish you would be more interested in sex or at least as much as I do which isn't a lot... I think.

To a friend:
Ever since we fought like last year, things have been awkward with us, I hope you could stop avoiding me and we actually take time to make it up to each other.

Now it's your turn... say as much as you want to as many people as you want!

"He's Like My Brother"

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:01:00 GMT

I went to watch meteor shower with a very good friend of mine last week. Originally we invited my other girl friend and his girlfriend to join us. Our friend ended up unable to make it and his girlfriend chose not to come. She thought that was a crazy idea to stay up all night to watch meteor showers.

As I was sharing my story with my friends, instead of focusing on the details of the experiences, most of them question me whether this is an appropriate behavior or if I am romantically involved with the person. The friend I went with is a great buddy of mine. We seriously treated each other like family members. I did not sense anything romantic that night except it was a beautiful night with plenty of stars in the clear sky.

Is it really wrong to do this even if the two of us are just friends?

What NOT To Buy a Man

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:01:00 GMT

Halloween has passed, which means the holidays are soon coming. So with this in mind I've complied a short list of gift giving ideas. More specifically, what NOT to get a man. Enjoy!

#1: PJ's

We don't care if you think they look cute or not. Pajamas are for boys not men. Most men like to sleep free and easy and as naked as possible. Getting us PJ's is like when we get you that "girls soap n shit" package. Sure you mean well, and you think we'll use it, but really it's not going to see the light of day and will likely end up doing double duty as car chamois and oil rag. More Here...

"Princess Girls" and Why They Don't Have Boyfriends

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:01:00 GMT

Sure, most little girls like princess stories and pretend to be princesses when they're young. There is nothing wrong or unhealthy about this. But, according to my observations and theory, there comes a time when reality needs to set in. It seems more and more obvious to me the longer I live that lots of girls don't allow this change to happen.

Sure, all of the blame can't be placed on them. Romantic movies of today idolize the princess idea. If that's your taste in movies, that's fine. But the problem comes when these fictional movie story-lines are considered reality. So many girls expect their lives to play out as they do in the movies. I personally don't understand this phenomenon what so ever, but then again I have never been a "Princess Girl". But it should be a considerable consensus that this is not appropriate behavior. Movies are not reality! More Here...
