“Sasha,” my friend from high school, posts embarrassing things about her toddler daughter “Lola” on Facebook. Full-on rants about how her kid had a tantrum at Target or how she puked in the backseat of their car, that kind of stuff. Sometimes she’ll also post inappropriate photos of the kid taking a bath or walking […]
Tinder has become a one-stop shop for young people who are looking to date, hook up or simply see who else is out there and online dating sites are starting to give way to a more efficient way of meeting potential mates. As of April 2019, users swipe through 1.6 billion profiles and make more […]
I’m not going to sugar-coat this: online dating fucking sucks. I’ve lamented my inability to effectively date online in the past, and back at it after meeting (via Tinder, incidentally, and more on that hellish sinkhole of human ineptitude in a moment) and losing The Big Easy , I don’t know whether I’m proud or disappointed […]
Another Thursday, another first date. If only I seemed to be getting any better at these things. I never heard from Peter after last week’s awkward, smoochless compliment-fest, which was fine by me – the poor guy seemed sweet, but he wasn’t even in the same county as my wheelhouse when I came to what […]
Annika’s post this week about the difficulty in making friends as a grown-up got such a huge response, I thought it warranted a reply here. Who knew so many of us had a friend shortage? Well, as someone who grew up on the move — I lived in 10 different homes in four different countries on three […]

But if you think about it for a minute, that’s all the more reason to find effective, practical ways to discuss the topic. If you can’t talk frankly with the person […]
Bars exist to create a world of potential. Yet often, they are self-defeating because it’s not all that easy to meet new people in them, especially if you’re hopping with a pack of wingwomen (read: competition, intimidation). A notion previously reserved for alcoholics, going to a bar alone can be about creating independence as well […]
Last night, my guy went to watch Megan Fox’s hot body, I mean, “Transformers 2.” One girlfriend wanted me to grab dinner and another wanted to see a movie. But the only thing I wanted to do was eat half a bag of potato chips for dinner, flip through Women’s Health and paint my nails with a hot pink […]
If someone suggested that you were holding out for a relationship to save you and magically solve all your problems, you’d adamantly insist they’d gotten you all wrong and briefly consider slapping them in the face, right? Expecting a guy to save you sounds ludicrous on a surface level, and even reminiscent of the dreaded […]
