Two friends discuss relationships and other mysteries of life.

I’m almost certain that Tiffany held back on her post about the “alleged” ten reasons that you shouldn’t date (Or, as I like to call it, “How the Grinch stole dating”). I’m sure she can think of way more than ten. Like, Your date happens to fall on a day that ends with the [...]

One thing I like about Mike’s latest post is that he unwittingly concedes my point on an earlier issue. I love when that happens, and am always vigilant for inadvertant concessions. Some time ago, I wrote that there was no such thing as the “friend zone“. By that I meant that all of the efforts [...]

I was at the local home center looking for seeds to start my garden when one of the store workers asked me if I needed any help. I wasn’t entirely certain what I wanted to grow in this garden, I was going to make that decision based on what I saw. However, I [...]

Sometimes Mike and I seem to be speaking two very different languages, but I don’t think it’s because he uses blue type and I use pink. I think it’s just that we’re two very different people with very different ideas about things. Today, I encountered one of those differences that proves that differing views don’t [...]

I wouldn’t say that I have had failure when it comes to dating but a lack of success has me ready to take a time out. I decided to take myself out of the race and focus on myself for a little while. It’s easy to get caught up in the chase and [...]

In his last post, Mike wrote about people “staying together for the kids”, and how it often doesn’t turn out to be good for the kids or anyone else involved. I agree, but I think his reasoning (though very common) is way off base. This is an issue I’ve had cause to consider in great [...]

When asked what the most important thing is in a relationship, the number one answer is surprising. From what I have seen, “love” seems to be number one. Trust appears to be coming in at a close second. Honesty is another heavy hitter in the “Things we want” list but it still won’t [...]

There’s been quite a bit of discussion on our Facebook fan page this week about monogamy and whether or not humans are really built to make it work. The discussion is getting a little heated, so we thought we’d put it to a vote:

Tiffany once told me that physical intimacy is like a placebo, an illusion of real intimacy. I’ll be the first to admit that I immediately thought she was wrong and just being…girlie. How much more intimate can you be than being “intimate”? However, my obsessive brain and habitual recreational thinking lead me [...]

When it comes to playing games, numbers don’t lie. I’d like to say that I am all for the honest and direct approach but I’ve seen the statistics and games have a higher success rate. I’ve talked about this before when I wrote a response to the book “he’s just not that into you”. [...]
