    If you’ve got a wish list, you need to make it a to-do list before someone else goes after what you want.

    Is He Going To Dump Me For His Ex…Again? [Ask A Dude]

    So I met this guy over spring break, had an amazing week getting to know each other and really connected. But, he had a girlfriend.

    Sexy Time: Monogamy Schmonogamy

    My boyfriend and I have been talking about an open relationship. The distance between us (Boston to LA) is starting to get really hard and our relationship is suffering because of it. But we love each other and neither of us is ready to give up. We’ve tried everything to make this work and now we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with any suitable alternative to our current situation.

    Single. And My “Ex” Isn’t

    Fact: 100% of girls, always, look like complete sh*t at the gym. While I’m the exception to many rules, I am not the exception to this one. So you can imagine my horror, my utter horror, when I ran into a guy I used to date at the gym yesterday.

    I’m Torn: Friends or More?

    Guys, I have a problem. Like a really big problem. A few weeks ago, the most wonderful boy ever made his move and kissed me at a party. It was something I’d been waiting a year for. He’s sweet, kind, adorable and fun. Oh yeah, he also wants to be in a relationship. With me. Sounds perfect, right? Only problem- he’s my best friend.
