If you ask a woman what she is looking for in a man she will probably say something like, “A man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. A man who is good at communicating his feelings. A man who is affectionate and willing to make me feel [...]

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 But I think that some of our instincts are simply outdated and do more harm than good.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”. [...]
