I’ve been in a relationship for a really long time, which means I haven’t technically “dated” since George W. Bush was president. Sometimes I feel a little nostalgic and curious about the dating lifestyle, but the other day, when I asked my boyfriend if it hurt when he fell from heaven, I realized there are […]

Whether you’ve wronged your man, your BFF, your mama or even your grand-mama, here’s how you show them you’re sorry, as painlessly and effectively […]
Yesterday, I received a letter from a reader who’s frustrated by how long it’s taking her boyfriend to say the “L” word. After the jump, her letter and my advice. Hi Wendy, I’ve been dating a guy for 8 months and in April we decided not to see any other people. I should say that […]
