    5 Must-Haves for a Good Boyfriend

    Sometimes I think we should just rename winter the season of love. When the cold weather comes in, it seems like couples just come out of the woodwork….or snowbanks. Suddenly they are holding hands in every store, making out on the sidewalks, and sharing kisses between sips of coffee at Starbucks.

    Tuffy Luv Deals With a Mean Mommy…Again

    Dear Tuffy Luv,I’m quite upset that I have to write to you again, but you gave such great advice last time that I would love hear from you again. I’m the short-skirted floozy who wrote to you about a month ago, and unfortunately, the situation has NOT improved. I’ve been following your advice – I wear my conservative clothes to her house, and even wear bike shorts under my dresses and skirts.

    Ask a Dude: What The Eff Happened to Date Night!?

    Dear Dude, My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year. Things between us are simply awesome. We are best friends and we want to spend the rest of our lives together. Recently, my boyfriend moved into his own apartment. Since this happened, all we ever do is stay in and watch movies on the couch.

    Coupled. And Leaving On a Jet Plane

    Oh air travel, how I despise thee. All flight delays/massive airport navigation/stinky seatmates aside though, I am actually very (very) excited to be flying into DC tomorrow. I’ve never been, and I’m so pumped to explore our nation’s great capital.

    Single. For The First Time In a Long Time

    Back in August, my mother and I were standing in Target debating exactly which organizational bins I would need for college when she turned to me and said, “Emmy, please don’t date anyone seriously at the beginning of college. I really don’t want you to get tied down too early.”

    Coupled. Where Do We Go From Here?

    I came into college with a well thought-out plan of what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to go to film school, live in Los Angeles, be a writer for television and maybe one day direct movies.
    I never figured a boyfriend into my whole equation.

    Tuffy Luv Sez: Co-depend THIS!

    Dear Tuffy Luv, I have a wonderful, sweet boyfriend who I’ve been with for over a year. We were friends at first, and I always liked him from the moment we met freshman year (I’m a junior now) when we hooked up a few times casually but then seriously got together a year later. Things have been great so far but there’s one big problem: I’m very dependent on him.

    Coupled. The Go-To Gal

    As I said last week, when I’m with my friends I tend to feel like the mom of the group. Well, I’ve recently discovered that there are some perks to being the momma of the group and the only girl in my group in a long term relationship. I’ve become the one that everyone else comes to for advice or when they have an awkward relationship/sex questions.

    Tuffy Luv Hates Female Cheaters Too

    Dear Tuffy Luv, I moved to the US from Africa in Spring 2006 for college. I had a boyfriend when I moved and we had been dating for over a year by then.We stayed in contact everyday via email, phone, facebook, video messaging and I always went back at least twice every year and spent about 2 weeks with him each time. Everything was fine until summer ’07 came around…

    Duke It Out: The First-Semester Boyfriend

    There’s all kinds of advice out there about your freshman year, but more than what classes to take or how I should bring my own Solo cup to parties, the the biggest piece of advice I heard back then was “don’t get a boyfriend right away, play the field.” Of course, being the serial monogamist that I am, I didn’t listen. And got a boyf faster than most students unpacked their boxes.
