Make Your Relationship Work

Want to turn the hot-and-heavy into the cold-and-awkward in the blink of an eye? Do any one of these things and watch the fun come to a screeching halt. Or so we’ve heard. Ahem. 1) Mention a former lover “Touch me there. Oh yeah, that’s it. Reginald used to do that.” Because that’s exactly what…

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, I talk to who has spent any time on an Internet dating site asks me “Why don’t they answer my emails?” The nastiest littlest-known secret is because the guy or gal you wrote to probably is too cheap to join the site: Most sites require that you pay before you…

How to tell if a guy isn’t into you. There are certain things guys say and do that are reliable indicators that they’re not interested in whatever it is you wish they were interested in, whether it’s a date or a serious relationship. There are no guarantees, and there are always exceptions. If a guy says he’s…

I’m seeing a theme among the thousands of questions that I am getting from you. They all go something like this: “My guy never calls but says it’s because he’s really busy and blah blah blah…” “A guy I like said he wants to ask me out but hasn’t. Does that mean blah blah blah…”…

Everyone and their Grandma seem to be texting these days, seeing how it’s almost impossible to find a phone that doesn’t have a full keyboard.  When you have something simple and quick to say, for example, “Look I’m sorry I shaved your cat, but get over it,” it can be convenient, but if you’re trying…

We’ve all met them. They’re annoying, obnoxious,  have the potential to ruin your night.. and of course induce a wicked case of blue balls. That’s right, I’m talking about cock blocks, and they come in many forms. Some are crazy exes, some are siblings, some are friends or friends of the person you’re trying to hook up…

One day you will look at your significant other and think: “Moving in together is the next logical step, right?” And it is. Cohabitating is generally the only way to figure out whether you can stand being together for the rest of your lives. But sometimes, we mistake convenience for love. Here’s how to figure…

So you’re out on a date with a girl for the first time.  She’s pretty cool and nothing strikes you that she’s a stage five clinger.
