Make Your Relationship Work

There are songs about it, jokes about it, entire movies centered around it: a guy trying to date a woman and being consistently blocked by her “best” “friend”.  Unfortunately, unlike the movies, usually the friend in question isn’t some horrible harpy but somebody who sincerely means well and just is tripping up.  Furthermore, everybody does…

Recently I was asked for my “philosophy of dating”. It took me a while to stop laughing. I mean seriously, a philosophy of dating? That’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while. But the person persisted and I thought about it for a while. Finally I came up with this, “things are…

Yeah, the hype is getting serious now. Adverts, V-day specials, frantic shuffling of plans and the inevitable irritation of it all. We start to think, “Why bother?” It is a made up thing anyway, to sell cards and roses and sentimentally tacky stuffed animals. It puts pressure, sometimes bad pressure, on a relationship and makes…

Various things I have learned about my wife and women in general. These are things you shouldn’t say or do. I learned some of this the hard way, hopefully you won’t. I’ve been married for several years to my wonderful wife. Before marriage, I had dated and had relationships before and trying to share some…

Life fluctuates, there are good days, bad days, and in-between days. Some days a the feeling of invincibility comes over us, when it seems everything is going your ways. Other times the world decides it’s time to whoop our ass, as if we were a crook who ran away from the NYPD. This fluctuation is…

It’s a time-tested and well-worn fable that most women are just floating through life innocently and happily being saints and perfect people until some man comes in and ruins it all. That man can be her father, a boyfriend, a husband, a dog, etc. Basically, she’s great until he shows up. Whoever he is. While…

Handling rejection is the most difficult aspect to dating. One of the reasons men and women hesitate from approaching is their own fear being rejected. Approaching a woman lays on the shoulder of us men, and having a woman tell us “no’ is a huge reason why we suffer from approach anxiety. It’s also the…

Last week, I woke up to a missed phone call from a friend of mine. Now, I wake up at 6am and generally go to sleep around midnight, which means that this call either came in during booty call hours or “something bad happened” hours. I knew immediately that given who it was, she must…

Valentine’s Day is often a day that single people loathe. It’s a non-stop red-and-pink reminder that you are single. I understand this. I know women who send themselves flowers at work just so people don’t realize that they’re alone. Again, I understand. But the truth is, being single on Valentine’s Day really isn’t that bad.…
