Cat fishing and monetary damages...
My mom and I are watching Dr. Phil. The lady on the show has been catfished and paid her catfish over 100,000 that he claimed he needed (not sure for what). Now the argument we are having. My mom thinks that the catfish should pay the woman back the money he stole since he "scammed" her. I say that the lady wasn't coerced…

What would you do?
Interesting dilemma on the radio today... A girl, we'll call her A,asks her friend E if she knows any single guys to set her up with, because she doesn't come across a ton of men day-to-day. E thinks her coworker X would be a good match. She shows X a picture of A and suggests that if he is willing, he might ask her out on…

Catfish tv show
Anybody heard of this show? It's about people who have met someone online, but someone is fishy, so the show goes and investigate for the person, to see if the person is legitimate or not. The man who created the show created it because he met a woman online who did this to him. Dr. Phil is doing a show about the show.…

"erasing" someone from your life on social media
Kind of a weird topic title but anyway... To what extent do you "erase" someone from your social media life after a breakup? For example, do you delete all your together pictures off Facebook? Delete lovey-dovey posts you made on their wall or ones that they made on yours? Erase messages (or texts I guess we can lump in)…

"secret admirers" and secrets
I have been noticing a new phenomenon on the internet lately, I'm going to guess it's more of a younger college aged generation thing...the confessing of secrets online. There is one for my college, people write things like "freshman year at the caf I barfed in the bathroom" or "senior year at ___ bar, I hooked up with my…

input needed
I have a good friend I've known for many years. Back in high school, she had a crush on this guy (he knew) but he didn't like her back. When we were in college, about junior year, he got her phone number and started talking to her and eventually they hooked up/engaged in some sexual activities while they both were home in…

question i have always wondered...
If you're with someone in bed in the AM and you want to kiss them or whatnot, do you get up and brush your teeth? Is morning breath kissing all that bad? Or do you pull a Kristin Wiig in Bridesmaids and get up and brush? Haha what led to this I don't know...sorry Peeps. Merry Christmas by the way! :)

Insight
Have you ever asked family or friends why they think you're single or why you have dating problems or why you always have failed relationships or why nobody asks you out? Has anyone ever given you unsolicited advice? The reason I ask is that because this weekend my friends and I were talking about what kind of men we want…

"Let's hang out"
Caught the end of a segment on Ryan Seacrest's show about dating. He was discussing how rare it is these days for men to ask women on a date. Tons of women were calling in and saying that men will ask them to hang out, or meet up with a group of friends, but they won't ask them on a date. One girl called in and said "I'm…

Selfish?
Reading Glamour magazine...there's an article about being married. One married writes "I'm beginning to realize that single people are more selfish." A man wrote that by the way. Thoughts? I think that the writer means that single people have more time to themselves, and for some reason he equates that as being selfish. I…

Tonight, my mom said, "if I was single, I'd hang out at Fleet Farm to meet boys."
