In her recent post, Tiffany posed an interesting question about adults having a “committee” to decide whether they like someone. I’d have to say that I think this occurs as a result of repeated failure in dating and relationships. When we start to lose faith in our own decision making we lean on [...]

Don’t get me wrong. I like womanizers. Of course, most women enjoy them in the moment–if we didn’t, they wouldn’t be so successful. Hell, we wouldn’t have a name for them. But the tide turns. Womanizers don’t stay. And then a lot of women get angry that the man hasn’t kept all those promises he [...]

It’s true that most of us drift along in traffic, not really noting the specifics of most of the cars around us. I’m as guilty of that as Mike apparently is. I can’t agree, though, about those stand-out cars. The cars that “pop” for me on the road aren’t beat up or noisy; the cars [...]

So, you find yourself attracted to someone and you want to make you feelings known. But how do you do that without being insulting? I’m not talking about just a sexual attraction. I mean, for whatever reason, you find yourself drawn to someone. It could be from something they said, the way they smile or [...]

“It’s the thought that counts”? Really, Mike? That seems to be what you’re saying. But in the end, isn’t it really the outcome that counts? If someone hits you in the head with a 2 x 4 on a job site, your injury is going to be the same whether it was intentional or accidental. [...]

I don’t think that we will ever agree on whether, “Your sexy babie” is a compliment or not. I think the key factor for me is intent and I’m sure that it was intended as a compliment. A better approach may have been for this guy to tell you specifically what he found attractive about [...]

Anyone who has a “wish list” for a potential partner is asking for trouble. I’ve said before that I think the biggest problem with “finding love” in today’s society is that we try to shop for mates like we shop for a new dress or a juicy grapefruit. Looking for love, in my book, is [...]

Of course, she just wasn’t that into me. But, the reason for that is what I think is the more interesting part. I wasn’t what she was used to. She wasn’t used to being around someone who didn’t “need” her for something. She didn’t know what to do with that. How do you feel [...]

I heard an advertisement on the radio today that fell in line with what Tiffany is trying to encourage people to believe. The Ad had a woman talking about raising her kids and said something like, “Even the big one I call my husband”. This is part of the common view that I am trying [...]

We make decisions based on the information that we have. When that information is a lie, it skews the decisions that we make. A woman who I had been dating for a couple months told me that she needed space. She said that she was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know if she wanted [...]
