I suppose it isn’t the most romantic story, telling your friends and family that you met your new spouse online because it was more convenient for you. But, I also think that it’s better than starting a collection of cats because you don’t want to be alone and meeting someone in person doesn’t seem [...]

Mike’s post about communication problems made me laugh. It wasn’t that I disagreed with him: for the most part I don’t. It was the idea of a man suggesting that the “simplest” way to avoid misunderstandings was to ask questions. He even gave examples, such as “What did you mean by that?” Quick show of [...]

Have you ever felt like you were misunderstood in a relationship? There is a reason for that, they just don’t know you. It’s all too easy to make generalizations based on experience. Remember those logic test questions like “If an apple is a fruit, all fruits are apples”? Of course the [...]

Once upon a time, before we had…knowledge, we had instincts to tell us what to do. Today, some of them still serve a purpose (It would be hard to teach a newborn baby how to eat). But I think that some of our instincts are simply outdated and do more harm than good. [...]
It’s somber day for my daughter and I as we mourn the loss of our beloved cat. We both knew that this day was coming. We adopted Faith a little over a year ago and she was already fourteen years old. But it doesn’t matter how much you prepare for the loss [...]

It seems to be, what I like to call “Swooning season”. That’s not the time of year where people hunt for “swoons”. It’s a time when single people look to step up their game, date more (or simply date). There’s more flirting, approaching and dating going on. I’ve noticed that I [...]

I was in a fairly crowded convenience store and purchased two lottery scratch off tickets. The store clerk asked me if I had any preference as to which ones. Now, to me, it doesn’t matter. I have to figure that the whole thing is randomly generated by a computer and winning is all left to [...]

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”. [...]

I’ve never bought into the whole “men and women communicate differently” thing. The only time I’ve ever run into that kind of problem has been when men tried to anticipate the right way to communicate with a woman and came up with something convoluted that bogged us all down.
I definitely agree that the message [...]
