Anonymous asked: can i ask you something through my personal tumblr and have you answer privately directly to my ask box??? i just don't want to have my question published
see-jess-live asked: What is your stance on a friend dating a guy that another friend had a crush on? I'm asking because two of my friends are in a fight because one starting dating a guy the other really liked, but never voiced it and they never kissed, never dated. That girl is now throwing a huge tantrum and won't talk to other friend and is telling her side to everyone and talking about it to everyone...

the slow fade in action
NomNomNamaste sent in something fantastic. Perturbed by the lack of follow-up from her suitor, she sent this message:
As she said in her email, “But I think that was just the kind of validation I needed to know that next time, if it looks like a slow fade and sounds like a slow fade, it’s probably a slow fade.”
Truth, girl.
babablogsheep asked: I don't know what to do. My boyfriend cheated on me. He didn't tell me for three days, I found out, he admitted and seemed genuinely remorseful. I never saw it coming and it has literally torn me apart. He was at his best friend's. He made-out with another girl, everyone was really drunk. His best friend cheated that night too. I love him. A lot. He says he hates himself and...
Anonymous asked: Tips for what to do for guys on Vday? My boyfriend says he has plans but I feel bad if I do nothing for him, I just have no idea what to do! I'm not very creative or romantic and this is actually the first time i've had a boyfriend that was also a valentine (and I'm 21). Do you have any suggestions?
Anonymous asked: Given your refreshing tendency to be blunt and realistic in your advice, I figured you'd be a good person to ask. What's your opinion on students crushing and/or dating their college professors mostly based on their intellect and similar interests?
keepsdiary replied to your post: So you say it’s hilariously easy for a single woman to get a one night stand. Any thoughts on how a single guy can get one?
Crossfit, get a hitler youth haircut at freemans, get good tattoos, leather jackets
I am now salivating. How could I ever leave New York?
stickyisaslut asked: Miss DBN: I'd love for you to reflect on your mastery of the stiletto heel. You run around the city in them, wear them on flights, wear them ALL DAY at the office. What's your secret?! (Or is it simply genetics?)
Anonymous asked: Love the blog! Question-my ex-boyfriend insists on paying for everything. We became friends again about 8 months after we broke up & every time we hang out he insists on paying. I want to pay & he knows this but will go as far as arriving early to pay before the meal. We are both college students (but his money is his own, not his parents') & the restaurants he chooses are not...

Anonymous asked: You know how guys always complain that they're being friendzoned? Well, I've got a similar situation going on where I'm constantly being "brozoned" by most guys I'm interested in. Every time I try something flirty or hang out with them, they usually end up spilling their guts to me about old relationships or treating me essentially like a bro. While I don't have...
Anonymous asked: My ex broke up w/me 2 years ago. Last year we reconnected & became good friends. He tried to get me back all last summer to no avail & a week before I moved to college he suddenly was in a relationship with a girl who he had only spoken of as a friend & always said he wouldn't date. He still contacts me multiple times a week,compliments me frequently, rarely mentions her, texts me...
Anonymous asked: If thepolkadotchronicles, there would be no problem making that one night stand happen.
Anonymous asked: I'm in the middle of a divorce. My future ex husband and I are ending things amicably. I recently came into contact with a guy I met once before and would like to talk to. Nothing serious, however, I don't know how to get into contact with him. He's a friend of a friend. Any tips on how to get into contact and how to ask him to hang out?
Anonymous asked: Hi :) So I have been working at a new job for about 3 months and there is this guy who works there who I am really crushing on and I think he like me too because I've caught him staring at me several times and we just stare and each other and just smile. It feels like I'm in middle school again lol but I'm getting impatient and I don't want to be the one that makes a move...

I don't have an old hook up to rely on and I feel too weird going out with my friends to find a suitable secks partner. How does that work, anyway?

They’re calling it Tupperware.
This incredibly lame joke posted to my LEGO blog has once again caused people to complain and bitch.
I’m fairly sure in my 3 years on Tumblr, I have actually been called every name in the book.
WTF? You’re not the one producing some lame ass lego sets directed at girls.
This isn’t lame. There needs to be...

online dating no better than a bar? →
I have, yet again, disabled my OkCupid account. It only took a month this time. As Eli Finkel, an associate professor of psychology at Northwestern University, said, “[online dating] overloads people and they end up shutting down.”
And it’s true. Scrolling through the pages and pages of 93% matches lowers the caliber of every choice and overwhelms the user. Like ordering...

How to Initiate a Kiss →
How About We quoted me in their latest bit on The Date Report!
First kisses are like new foods. You’re a bit nervous to give it a go because this could be a serious plate of worms, but god… when it’s chocolate, it’s everything.
tooblessedtogetdressed asked: I am having the hardest time. I feel alone, abandonded, and all around... sad. My exboyfriend, who I still(?) am in love with, has a new girlfriend. My head is completely clouded. I don't know how I feel about him, and I don't even know what I want.I don't even know if Iove him. I'm questioning myself as I write this. How do I know that I want to be with him? And how do I know...

Anonymous asked: So I'm dating this hot, smart, funny, amazing in every way guy, who pretty much has everything that I am looking for. His d* is ok-ish for my liking but he lacks some serious skills in sex. We talked about it, helping each other out to what we like. It's been a month like, and it still gets on my nerves. It's not like I don't cum, I do, but I find myself thinking about it...
Anonymous asked: What's the best way to stop seeing someone that you've only been on a couple dates with? I can already tell that you're not into it, but he is... Everyone keeps telling me to just stop texting back but I don't want to be an asshole. Help!

“I think ‘Oh my god, I thought I was fat?’ What is my problem?”
– Meryl Streep, on looking back at her old films. A variation on Nora Ephron’s unforgettable quote: “Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six.”
The whole Fresh Air interview is wonderful.

Read this article just so you can read the comments.
Lisa Khoury, an assistant news editor at The Spectrum, wrote an opinion piece on why she believes tattoos are immoral and low class… except she never actually says why she thinks that. She preaches on the benefits of yoga, shopping, and having guys drool over you. These are things I think many of us can appreciate, but her unnecessary...
Anonymous asked: This is somewhat of a complicated situation, hope you can help defuse things a bit! My ex will not leave me alone. I am tremendously happy with my new girlfriend, but my ex will not stop calling/texting/professing her undying love for me. I'm annoyed with myself because I respond, but I know that I don't want to be with her (she cheated on me). I tell her I don't want to hear from...

Things my dental hygienist said to me this...
- No gag reflex. Very good.
- Open wide; you’ve eaten a hot dog before.
- Have you been a good girl?
I would have… reacted… but let me give you a mental picture of how it was delivered.
Okay, imagine sitting with your grandmother… not a hip grandma, but a real “do you like that In-The-Sink band?” grandma. (Real thing my grandma said. Say it out loud,...

fallingdeep asked: Bold moves: a little over a week ago I saw a hot guy at the bar. I overheard him say something about it being his birthday so I bought him a shot, initiated conversation, asked for his number, and asked him out. We had a great lunch date last week. No clue where it'll go, but it felt great to take the initiative!

breaking up with people you're not dating
You’ve been to his apartment. You’ve made out. He’s paid for dinner. You’re what we 20somethings call “dating.” And then, you’re not. You either end up in a relationship or you don’t and more frequently, you don’t, and then you’re stuck with a choice: call it off or Slow Fade.
Let’s talk about the Slow Fade. We’ve all...
Anonymous asked: Hello. I've been a gamer my whole life. I've never pursed to date men who play video games. Some of them were, some not. They are many reasons you choose to start a game in your free time rather than do something else, like go out or watch a movie. My fiance is a cop, no idea of gaming. There are evenings that we like to cuddle on the sofa and talk while I'm playing my games or...
Anonymous asked: Video gamer's girlfriend again. I suppose it's not as bad as that. I have been nagging him a lot about it lately. He does apologize and say that he values me more than his stupid games. The problem is that nothing is changing. Sometimes I feel like his expectation is that I should just get used to it and let him have his hobby. I feel like he should make it up to me somehow - all this...
Anonymous asked: I'm not being ridiculous am I? My boyfriend has lately revived his computer game obsession. We're long distance and we skype a lot, but he spends 80% of that time either playing computer games and not talking to me (b/c he can't multitask), or sleeping. I've told him over and over again how I hate being ignored. His response is that I stress him out when I tell him this so he...

scarymerry asked: So I guess it's really Bold Moves January for me- I told a guy to ask me out and he did. Yay me? Yes, I'm now nervous about what is pretty much my first non-ambiguous date, but I guess this is personal progress.
