We see hear a lot about dating mistakes and blunders and interesting dilemmas, and we wonder what to think about it all. Here is the good advice. "When considering a new relationship of any kind, practice the Rule of Threes regarding the…

Being Single with Married Friends
I always listen to this morning show and they had a list today of what sucks about being single with married friends. Here we go! 1. Trips always involve couples-heaven forbid a girls trip-the night ends with drunk couples making out/hooking up and you're left alone on the couch or cot because couples get the beds. 2.…

work crush
I kinda thought this guy at my work was maybe flirting with me a while back, but tonight, he said, what do you need, snickerdoodle?" That' something you call your grandma right?? Or is supposed to be cute?

how do you win?
Last night I met the cutest guy at the bar through a mutual friend, and he actually seemed to like me. We ended up leaving that bar to go to a bar with a dance floor. While at that bar, when we were dancing in a big group, he grabbed me and pulled me to him like he wanted me to dance with him. The problem is that if I…

too young?
I'll make this short. There is a really cute guy at my work who I thought was flirting with me for a while. Whenever we pass each other in the hallway, we smile and say hi, and if he comes into the break room when I'm there he'll ask me how I am, etc. The other day, when he got to work, he said, "hello, young lady, how is…

Consider this scenario... You're taking a girl out on a date to a MLB baseball game. Which outfit would you rather see her in? Women, if you're reading this, which outfit would you wear? Number one: or Number two: or Number three: This is in response to an article I read tonight. I am curious about which one a man would…

is this bad?
Is it bad to not give a potential date a chance because of who he hangs out with? My old best friend and I basically had our relationship stall and crash in 2009 because of her boyfriend, who I greatly dislike for a number of reasons. I let her know about it and told her he's bad news and that I didn't support them. Ever…

Rielle Hunter/John Edwards
Does seeing Rielle Hunter all over TV talking about her new book make anyone upset besides me? I'm just really having a hard time wrapping my head around how this woman thinks she is perfect and that it's okay to bash her married boyfriend's dead wife.

some questions...
While out tonight for my birthday, I was thinking about some stuff and wanted your opinions! The last two of these are dumb, I apologize. Really dumb! 1) Is the bar a good place to meet people? And by bar, I mean not like a local quiet neighborhood spot, but like a bar with music. Has anyone actually met a…

what do you think?
I saw a great question on Dear Prudence that I thought was really interesting. Question: I met my fiancé at a house party. I was there with my best friend, who happens to be gorgeous. He began talking to us and kept talking to me after my best friend left. We made plans to hang out later, and over the next three months our…

"winking"
What is the point of a wink/something similar on a dating website?? If a guy winks at you, does he want you to make the first move by sending him a message? Or is this just a way of avoiding writing a message since a lot of men get rejected anyway and they don't want to waste time writing a message? Or do men just do this…

The Rules
So I just heard about this book that came out in 1995, called The Rules, that I just heard about. I haven't read it but have been looking up information from it. It is directed towards women. Supposedly, I read, Blake Lively used the book to snag Leonardo DiCapro!…

crazy stories
Does anyone have any crazy stories about how someone they know met their current bf/gf/spouse? My friends and I met this guy freshman year and went over to his house. After meeting, we all friended him on Facebook. He went through our photos and said "this one girl X is really cute...invite her over." We did, and she ended…

so i kind of ran away...
I had been on three dates with this guy friend and on the end of the third he kissed my cheek. I have what I call "blackout moments" where when something embarrassing or anxiety-provoking happens, I do things that I normally don't do. In this case, I sprinted away - I think, I don't really recall, but I must have- because…

need input please!
First off, I apologize if this is kind of juvenile or whatever to you guys! The majority of you are older than me, but you do offer really good advice! So there's this guy that I've kind of been hanging out with. I guess I would describe it as "more than friends but less than anything else." I'm not the type of person…

medical marijuana question
I'm not looking to debate this, but I have a question about it. There is a kid I went to high school with who just posted a photo of his medical marijuana card from California (it doesn't say but I know it is one of the two states). I know he did drugs in high school and I'm pretty sure he still does drugs because he hangs…

never been kissed?
Am I the only never been kissed person here or no? My friend tonight was making out with a guy on the dance floor. I kinda assumed it was her first kiss but she told me back in elementary school she kissed a boy before. I guess I am just disappointed that it has happened to her twice and never to me. Just had to vent!…

help me please! dating advice
I've known this boy since freshman year of college (we're seniors now), and we're kind of friends. My roommate dates one of his roommates so our two houses hang out frequently. About three weeks ago, he started texting me and stuff, and I kind of like him now. He texted me on Saturday and asked if I wanted to hang out, and…

when is it okay to post you're pregnant?
I just saw on a girl's Facebook a photo of her pregnancy test...she's seven weeks. Is that a little early to announce a pregnancy to the world? Or is it just a sign of the times. I was under the impression besides close family, you shouldn't tell others you're pregnant until 12 weeks.

maybe it is just me...
but why do people in relationships feel the need to call each other numerous times a day and update each other on the mundane going ons of their life? i swear my roommate is on the phone every day talking to her boyfriend about everything she did that day and what she is making for dinner! it is just annoying! i don't call…

helping a friend move
If you asked friends to help you move from one place to another, would you offer to give them something? Like buy them dinner or take them to a movie or a drink? My roommate's boyfriend is moving next weekend apparently and he asked another one of our roommates to help him. I asked her "so what are you getting for it?" and…

hooking up/dating
My roommate showed me this really interesting article about hooking up and dating. http://christiancentury.org/article/2012-01/courage-date It talks about how people now don't know how to date. This professor, Kerry Cronin, asked her class of 14 students about dating, and only one had a serious relationship. The rest were…

nights like this...
make me glad i'm single! my 22 year old roommate, who has been dating this older guy for two years now, is held back by her boyfriend. He's older, and I get that he wants to go to sleep at ten-thirty. He's gotten college and partying out of his system. But he makes her feel like she can't go out and do the same with her…
