Two friends discuss relationships and other mysteries of life.

When I read Tiffany’s post about what makes a kiss memorable, I was surprised to find that I agree with her but for different reasons. For me, it’s the unknown that makes a kiss memorable. The kisses that stand out in my mind are the ones that I never expected. In a [...]

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 [...]

“It’s not you, it’s me”. That has the stigma of being a lie used to let someone down easily. But there may be a lot more truth to that classic line than you realize. Breaking up is typically not easy. At least not for the person who is being dumped. The person [...]

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 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 [...]

We’ve been getting comments from men asking for advice on avoiding the “friend zone”, and I’ve got good news for them. You’re not doing anything wrong. There’s no such thing as the “friend zone”. At least, not in the sense that men seem to dread it, as a big black hole waiting to swallow up [...]

One of my favorite lines from Steven Wright, “I put instant coffee in the microwave and actually went back in time”. I think it points out the absurdity of our own invention. We live in a world where faster is better. Who wants to wait five whole minutes for a pot of coffee to [...]

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 [...]

What I didn’t know was that full-grown adults–not college kids in their early twenties with one foot in their parents’ homes but thirty-something professionals with careers and condos and supposed lives of their own–were still looking to their friends to hold up numerical scores while their dates “performed”.
