There are some dates that make you want to open the freezer and drink straight from the vodka bottle the minute you come home. Last Saturday night was one of those dates. He was cute, blond, dimpled; he screamed Abercrombie and frat houses.
After numerous conversations with girlfriends demanding I open my world and date men other than my type (old, neurotic and insane), I decided to go on a date with a clean-cut guy who was my age, normal, and seemingly had all his marbles. Keep reading »
If I had a dime for how many times I’ve heard another woman whine about how she “needs to find a man,” I’d have enough change in my purse to buy a pair of slouchy new Frye boots and a ticket to Barcelona for the holidays. (Seriously, doesn’t that sound like a nice place to spend Christmas day?) But I don’t have a dime for every whine, and since I’m getting kind of tired of listening to it all, I’m going to tell you exactly how to land a man, so we can finally talk about more important things, like whether I should cut my hair like Katie Holmes. Forget that monkey business about not ever calling a guy, and follow the real rules after the jump. Keep reading »
Trust the words you’ll hear from that someone without going deep into analysis, trying to break down everything to the barest meaning and therefore deconstructing anything of substance. In other words, don’t be your worst enemy. The love you hear is the love you are getting, end of discussion.
Your boo is going to turn into a big baby this week and depending on how much you really care, it’ll mean a week of playing nursemaid. However, chances are, no matter how you feel, you’ll do the right thing anyway. Just pay attention to your feelings at the end of the week though, because if a flood of resentment comes your way, realize it’s there for a real reason.
In case you didn’t know, you’re the sign of mystery, which will make more than perfect sense as your attractions do a 180 and take you down a slippery slope into a land with inhabitants you’ve never experienced before are found to be mesmerizing intriguing. You know it, get your latex bodysuit on and get ready to step into a sci-fi adventure that logic can’t explain.
As much as your idealism is a part of you, it’s not going to do much for the overall picture of the life you truly want to lead if you just live to fantasize. To say it nicely, finding a guy with no prospects is what it is. No matter how much potential you believe he has, if he is not acting on it actively, don’t wish for the best. This week, realize a guy with some cash isn’t the devil.
All the cards will be in your hand as of the 13th, when Venus enters Capricorn and bestows you a feeling of increased charm, elegance and beauty. Cosmically, you’ll have an extra special twinkle in your eye that’ll give you superhero strength to seduce who you wish and play any situation to your liking. Just remember, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
Typically it’s you wielding the power of guilt, getting others to do as you wish backhandedly. Now, the tables will turn and it’ll be up to you to have to decipher what is real and what is just flat out manipulation. While the person twisting the screws might mean well, unless they learn to play properly, consider all angles before moving ahead.
Fast, hot and scintillating love can ignite, but don’t go crazy and plan too far ahead. While you’ll go beyond the normal reaches of your comfort zone, once you get there you’ll find that staying there isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Not to say you’ll get burned, more like the other way around. As it goes, your temperamental side can strike just as quickly.
Love can mean more than just getting you off, as in turning up your power couple status and hitting the town. This week, two heads are better than one and can result in cold hard cash. If no events are on the agenda, then take the initiative and create the opportunities, as in a dinner party or an outing of some sort. If all goes well, expect your first pay out in the bedroom.
All will be right in your world if you hook up with someone vastly different than you this week, as in a different culture, religious background or country, etc… If you’re already with someone, turn out your more adventurous side with new places to do it and new toys to bring in. As it goes, right now it’s all about shaking up your system that’ll get your rocks off more intensely.
Your libido is going to be in charge and they’ll be no stopping her from wanting to do the things she is going to want to do. Sure, you might see the danger in where you will go, but curiosity will over ride all and at the end of the day, it’s just another fascinating tale to tell that may or may not end as predictably as you think.
No matter what chaos at work is flying at you or what your crazy family is trying to get you to do, you be able to tune it all out to find peace of mind. The magical key to your paradise of cool and calm? The hot piece of meat lying in your bed willing to do as you wish without question. Thank your lucky stars for the deluge of endorphins that’ll numb any disaster away.
Showing your devotion through humility is the loudest message of love you can give. Although you’re not a lady to bow down to menial labor, such acts of affection will mean the most to that special someone in dire need of signs of your loyalty. Take his car to the wash or do his laundry. It’s those little tasks that’d be all you need to do to have him wanting to “eat in” all week long.
Earlier this week, we found out that President-elect Barack Obama and Michelle Obama shared their first kiss over Baskin-Robbins ice cream and he actually asked permission before leaning in. This got me thinking about my past first kisses. Like Barack (yeah, we’re on a first name basis.), my current boyfriend asked permission before he kissed me. It was our third date and I thought, “Can’t he pick up the signals that I’m dying to kiss him?” Heck, I was ready to kiss him on the first date, but he was a gentleman and waited an appropriate amount of time before things got physical. What do YOU think about asking permission before a first kiss? Keep reading »

We all know dating is difficult, but man hunting is even more difficult. Sure there’s a bunch of advice out there on where to meet men, but can you really trust advice that hasn’t been put into practice?

In the spirit of helping a fellow sister, tell us and other readers how you met your last main squeeze, in the comments. Keep reading »
Several times over the past couple weeks, I’ve ridden the subway with a couple that kisses very loudly while they ride the train to work. I’ve had to stand next to them, inches away, while they “smack,” “smack,” “smack”-ed each other’s lips over and over again. They must have kissed 15 times in the time the train traveled one stop. This morning, I just about had it. I was so close to telling the kissing couple they were being inconsiderate and making others uncomfortable — I can even hear the sound of them kissing when I’m listening to my iPod. I held back, though I’m not sure I can much longer. From now on, I will be getting into a different car if I see them hopping on the subway with me. After the jump, what’s not allowed when it comes to PDA. Keep reading »
There are many post breakup stages that a person can feel — anger, sadness, resentment, hatred, insecurity, just to name a few. However, at some point, one of your bolder friends will make that typical fast fix suggestion that “the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.” Do I agree with this? Ehh. For some, a rebound only makes the split hurt more. I would suggest starting with a little flirting, maybe some kissing, and take it from there. But one thing I do believe in is “The Grace Period.” Keep reading »
There are two sides to almost every breakup — the dumper and the dumpee. (Sorry, I don’t buy those “mutual” decision splits. I’m sure they happen, but they’re as rare as a fat cell on Madonna’s rear end, so they don’t count.) While it’s ideal when both sides leave the relationship with dignity, it’s much easier to be the Gracious Ex when you’re the dumper. After all, it was your bright idea to break up. You’ve had time to wrap your head around it, and really, who are you kidding? You probably have a replacement lined up already. So, we’re going to start with you, the breaker-upper, because your list of “How Not to Be” is a lot shorter. Without further adieu, you definitely should not … Keep reading »
