Even Gaga Would Call it a “Bad Romance”
As girls, there’s one itty bitty thing that got screwed up in our chromosomes. Any time we see a slightly attractive male we automatically throw ourselves in their direction like a piece of freakin’ meat. We instantly get big googly eyes, say things that we should be keeping to ourselves, and completely freak the eff out our potential soul mate.
You’ve Been Warned: Red Flags to Watch for on a First Date
Have you ever met someone and wished you had a crystal ball to see into the future? Would there be a date? Would he like your friends? Would your parents like him? Could a relationship form? Does he have the potential to be “the one”?

Ask A Dude: Should I Wait Around?
Heyya Dude, My problem is that I’ve had a crush on this guy for about a year (I met him last June). The crush began because not only is he smart and funny but he would constantly say how beautiful I was and be very flirty. He then asked me to go to a concert with him while he was still dating this chick. I didn’t think anything of it because I got to know the girl and assumed he told her.
Ask a Dude: Why Was He So Nice?
Hi Dude, So I met this guy at a party one night and we exchanged numbers. A few days later he texted me and asked me if I wanted to meet him for some drinks. I met him at the bar and we had a great time. We had so much to talk about, there was never an awkward silence and we ended up staying pretty late. I was going to take the bus home, but he refused to let me and offered to drive me home.
College Q&A: Public Enemy Number One
I’m in a pickle. Yes, I just said pickle. I recently drunkenly made out with a boy who lives on my hall. If that’s not bad enough, his ex GF is in, like, all of my classes and saw it happen (it was at a frat party….I know, embarrassing). Now she’s seriously giving me major sh*t for it and even bitched me out in the hallway in front of one of our lectures.
Ask A Dude: I Don’t Want to be Someone’s Rebound
Dude, I’m later into college and I met this amazing guy right at the beginning of my freshman year. We both had an instant connection. We were very flirty, but when I found out he had a girlfriend, I toned it down. We still talked, but never really hung out. I later found out that was because his girlfriend at the time was incredibly jealous of other girls.
Ask a Dude: Why’s He Talking to His Ex?
Dear dude, Problem: my boyfriend’s ex girlfriend texts him constantly. They were in a relationship for 2 years on and off in high school. I asked him to not talk to her and he didn’t for about 4 months. But she texted him consistently and he finally gave in and started talking to her. He said she really needed him for advice. I know this because I sometimes check his phone.

10 Things We Never Need to Know About Our Man
It’s no secret that everyone wants honestly in their relationship, but there are some things we just DON’T want to know (or want them to know!). Much like you wouldn’t disclose to your man exactly what happened between you and his roommate freshman year, here’s a list of things we definitely do not want to hear from guys we’re gettin’ down with:
Overheard: I Think I Look Good in Your Body
(Two guys in class, before lecture starts.)
Guy 1: My girlfriend broke up with me, and sent me pictures of her and her new boyfriend in bed.
Guy 2: Ouch.
Guy 1: Yeah, I sent them to her dad.
Ask A Dude: Is He Not Over His Exes?
Dear Dude, Ever since I’ve been with my boyfriend, I’ve noticed something a little weird. He talks about his exes, a lot. He’ll bring up random comments (“that house looks like ___’s house”) or just tell me stories when something reminds him. It’s mainly two girls that he talks about, that he was with for 3 and 5 years. Honestly, I really don’t want to hear these stories…
Duke It Out: Sex With the Ex
It’s one of those debates that has raged for… well, for as long as human beings have done the date and break-up thing. Is fooling around with an ex strictly off limits or a little habit that’s OK to indulge in?
EXpectations: Your Boyfriend’s Ex is Also His Best Friend?
I’ve been dating this boy for about two months. He’s great, and so far things have been going really well. We spend a lot of time together without getting sick of each other, but haven’t meshed into a creepy and mushy single being like some couples are prone to. He makes me laugh, although it’s usually more at him than with him.
