I must confess I suffer serious anxiety when faced with the prospect of sharing a bed with a gentleman. Don’t get me wrong; everything that happens before and after the actual sleeping part is fun. Even the occasional cuddle can be gratifying. But I am a light sleeper, meaning that if the dude snores, chances […]
I have been dating the same guy for almost two years now and he joined the Marines literally like a week into our relationship. I barely see him and he is currently deployed. I did think I was in love with him but since he’s been gone my feelings have gotten more and more weak […]

And if so, how do you define what a “healthy fight” is? — Curious Yes, absolutely, fighting is healthy for a relationship. In fact, I’d say it’s unhealthy not to fight […]
On the heels of my dating resolutions list, I’m also thinking about the types of guys I’ve dated this year—the ones I’ve had fun with, the ones who’ve hurt my feelings, the ones who’ve wasted my time, the ones with whom the timing was just wrong.
