  • Friends with Exes?

    I grew up calling my mom’s ex husband uncle Robert. They were best friends and my dad actually ended up being the best man at his wedding when he remarried. So I always assumed that exes could be friends. Easy. Lately …

  • Invitation Only

    I feel like I’ve been writing a lot about politeness lately… I guess it’s because I’m in New York where people don’t tend to bother being polite (which is sad, by the way). In the past couple months I have had way too ma…

  • Reminders

    The hardest part, for me, about breaking up is the reminders. When people are a part of your life for a significant amount of time, it’s only natural that different things are going to start reminding you of them. And th…

  • The Toilet Seat: Up or Down?

    Ah, the age old debate about whether or not guys should have to put the seat down… I'm just going to get straight to the point on this one (a rarity, I know). Here’s my thing guys: if you are a guest in a girl’s apartmen…

  • Friends with Benefits

    I am in a situation right now where a friend of mine would like to be a friend with benefits. We drunkenly made out once and I intended it to be a one-time thing but he seems to want it to keep happening (but without "ex…

  • Body Hair

    Today, I want to have a philosophical conversation about body hair. One of my many issues with gender roles in society right now is this idea that women have to be hairless but yet it’s totally acceptable for men to be h…

  • The Mennonite - part 1.5

    I was going to take a break from my continuing Mennonite saga for a bit and write more miscellaneous posts for a few days. However, I woke up this morning to find a message from the Mennonite on my facebook wall – we hav…

  • The Mennonite - part 2

    For part 1, click here. And I've realized that I'm not very good at summarizing when it comes to stories like this, so this is actually going to be kind of a long story, so I may come back to it with later parts in the f…

  • The Mennonite - part 1

    Aaahhh summer romance. I am lacking current inspiration today so I'll write a little bit about my romantic past. I was debating between titling this "the Mennonite - part 1" or "why you should never date actors - part 1"…

  • Change is Good

    Ok, so this entry is inspired by the featured post about self-confidence. While I am all about loving you for you and learning to live with your flaws, I think this whole post-modern idea of "you have to accept me for w…

  • A little TLC

    For the most part, I am loving being single right now and just dating around. But it's days like today - when I wake up feeling like I've been run over by a train because my sinuses are killing me, my throat feels like s…

  • The Internet is for Porn

    Now, I know a lot of guys watch porn and it's a fact I've somewhat accepted (though I do think that most porn is demeaning to women... Just throwing that out there...) But come on guys, you really need to learn to hide y…

  • Boys With Girlfriends

    I was at a party the other night and something rather amusing happened. I was talking to this guy who I went to school with but haven't seen in a while. We were just catching up, talking about what we're doing now wor…

  • Chicks before Dicks

    Last night I was at a party and there was this guy there. He was very cute and we were flirting. We had a class together in college but never really knew each other that well though we had always been a little flirty (bu…

  • Are you financially compatible?

    I read this article in the New York Times yesterday that I think is really important - the idea of being financially compatible. Not surprisingly, it's the 2nd most emailed article right now.The article says to marry som…

  • Does He Like Me?

    Alright folks, it's time to play another round of "Does he like me?" If only boys weren't so confusing and I didn't have to ask strangers on the internet if a guy likes me... Ha! Ok, so I went on a second date with The…

  • PDA

    I did something out of the norm for myself the other night (or well, I wish it were more out of the norm than it is unfortunately). I made out with a guy at a bar. Now, this only happens when I'm exceptionally drunk, w…

  • On again Off again

    I am generally of the opinion that once you break up, that is it. You should not get back together. I know a few people who seem to break up get back together all the time. My best friend was dating this guy "on and off"…

  • Texting

    Ok, so I feel like I have a bad rep now and need to clarify something. I don't hate texting. I just think it's impersonal and inappropriate in certain contexts: 1. Initial contact - if you've just met a person, you sho…

  • The Little Things

    I have always been a big advocate that the little things are what counts in a relationship. Big grand gestures can often be intimidating and it's the more frequent little things that really show me that someone cares. …
