    The Morning After: Unsuccessfully Forgetting the Ex

    I was in a new college town and my roommate just got her fake ID in the mail. Coincidentally, I had also just told my ex I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I needed to stop thinking about him all the time if we weren’t going to be together. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

    Single. Accidentally on a Date?

    I agreed to grab dinner with a guy who had been in my honors seminar this past semester and I didn’t think anything of it. When he came to get me before dinner, I just figured it was on his way or something. But then he paid for dinner and insisted that we go to a movie… and it was around there that I started to catch on.

    Ask a Dude: He Dumped Me…and Won’t Stop Texting

    Dear Dude, My boyfriend broke up with me recently. He gave me legitimate reasons and used the “we’re not working, but I don’t want to lose you completely” line, which I’ve received too many times before. But this time, this ex is actually going through with trying to be friends. We broke up on Saturday and saw each other one last time on Sunday when he helped me move my stuff into a storage unit….

    Ask A Dude: My Ex Won’t Be My Friend

    Dear Dude, My boyfriend and I recently broke up. I told him we could still be friends and everything wouldn’t be awkward. Then I find out a couple days later he deleted me as a friend on Facebook. What confuses me is that he is not the first ex to delete me. In fact my other last 2 exes have deleted me as a friend on Facebook as well.

    Single. With No Hope

    You know those couples that make you believe in love? Like grandparents well past their 50th anniversary and still making each other laugh, or like Brad and Jen (granted I was, like, a toddler when they dated, but I’m sure I still thought they were cute then…) Well, I had a golden couple in my own life…

    How To: Break Up The Right Way

    Summer can cause a lot of confusion when it comes to you and your man. Sometimes you unexpectedly meet that new, painfully good-looking, charming guy on the beach and don’t know how to nicely break the news to your boyfriend. Other times, the relationship can really suffer when friends from home, jealousy, and work get in the way and it can be hard to tell just when exactly you should finally call it quits.

    Ask a Dude: Mixed Signals from the Ex

    Hi Dude, I recently hung out with my ex – we were together for 2 years and been broken up for about 2 1/2 years. After the break-up I had a hard time and came off a bit needy. Time went by and we met up to catch up. I told him I still had feelings for him but he was dating someone and said he wanted to see where it went and that he “didn’t love me anymore.”

    Single. With a Mystery Boy

    Yesterday night, I was coming home from work and grocery shopping and I had to stop in to deposit some checks at the bank. So I’m in the bank trying to figure out how to deposit checks in these new ATMs while also not crushing any eggs in the grocery bag when quite possibly the most adorable boy on the face of the planet turns around from the third ATM and asks if I’m having trouble depositing checks too.

    The CC Weekly Weigh In: Beating The Break-Up Blues

    You know how they say death and taxes are the only two certainties in life? Well I think there’s a third and it’s the break-up. Everyone deals with one at some point and, in a nutshell, it blows chunks. It ain’t easy and sometimes, when you’re curled up in the fetal position with a puddle of melted ice cream next to your face, it feels as if the pain is never gonna go away.

    Ask a Dude: Can I Date My Ex’s Friend?

    Hey Dude, I have a question about the supposed unwritten rule that guys can’t go after their friend’s exes. While me and my boyfriend were dating, I became really close with his best friend, developing into a friendship some might call an “emotional affair.”

    To Defriend or Not To Defriend, That is the Question

    We’ve all been there. You break up with your boyfriend, fight with your Bio lab partner, resent your freshman year roommate for getting a better internship than you. In a booze-fueled rage you sit at your computer at 2am going through Facebook, wanting so badly to cut these people off altogether.

    Tuffy Luv Sez: Get Over Your Crappy Friend

    Dear Tuffy Luv, So freshman year is coming to close, but with a terrible ending. My best friend here has decided to go chase after the guy I had a history with/crush on at the beginning of the year. I’ve moved on from liking him ever since he clearly rejected me in February and have been able to settle on friendly terms with him even though he really left me in the dirt.
