Girl’s Guide to Surviving Sporting Events

March 25, 2009 | Dating Tips by Suzy in the City

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

March Madness is fully underway, and if you don’t even know what March Madness is, you’re probably like a lot of women out there (come on ladies, read up). It seems to be one of the fundamental differences between men and women: guys are content to drink beer and eat chips while watching grown men fight with each other, while women are more than happy to hit the mall during this strange male ritual. Unfortunately, there will probably be a time when even the most sports-aversed girl will have to begrudgingly watch a few quarters of a game. But it doesn’t have to be that way! There are a lot of ways you can tolerate - or even enjoy! - sports.

What Not to Wear…On Your First Date

March 10, 2009 | Dating Tips by Flirty Felicia

So, you have finally met someone you like and you’re planning on going out on what will hopefully be the perfect first date! Lining up a date with a guy or girl you are actually interested in can be a trying affair in and of itself, but then you have to find the perfect outfit to wear on the date. I love clothes, and always want to be dressed right for every occasion. There is nothing worse than wearing the wrong thing at the wrong time or for the wrong activity and feeling completely uncomfortable and out of place. You want to make a good impression on a first date, since chances are your date doesn’t know you very well. Even if you’re not into fashion, in many ways the clothes you wear are an expression of who you are as a person. Here are a few tips on what you should wear on a date, and what you might want to leave behind.

Competition = Fun

March 6, 2009 | Dating Tips by Dilettante Derek

My favorite dates include an element of competition. I love a challenge, and even if there is no prize, or a prize that sucks, I always have fun, when there’s at least an ounce of contention. It’s a guy thing i know, I can’t help that I never got over my need to prove dominance through victory. Although I can’t deny, I think it’s sexy when a girl beats me at something. If your last date involved a trip to the grocery store maybe it’s time to shake things up a bit with a good old fashioned rumble. Here’s a few ideas for some good times going head-to-head.

Last weekend, my buddy Jay went out to a bar, it was a pretty standard Saturday night, he met a girl and he got her number at the end of the night. He’s actually the kind of guy who does call the next day, and when he did, he got this ” This is not the person you were trying to call, you have reached the rejection hotline.”

Avoiding Early Relationship Traps

February 11, 2009 | Dating Tips by Suzy in the City

While dishing with my roommate about our most recent failed relationships, we came to a staggering conclusion: the first few dates mean everything. They truly do define the course of your relationship. Sure, there is such a thing as a bad first date that will eventually lead to a meaningful relationship, but in dating, first impressions tend to be everything. Don’t believe me? You will after these stories.

Trials and Tribulations of “Hooking Up”

February 2, 2009 | Dating Tips by Flirty Felicia

After a recent break up, I am back on the market. After eating my weight in Ben and Jerry’s for awhile, the time has come to move on! Although, I am not ready to start seriously dating anyone, any distractions are welcome. I have heard the saying “The easiest way to get over someone is by getting under someone else”. Until now, I haven’t necessarily agreed with this statement, but I guess with age and..um…new “needs” my mind has been changed. This of course opens up another can of worms; the trials and tribulations of “hooking up”. “Hooking up” is how my generation so fondly refers to casual sexual encounters, and when not handled correctly things can get messy. There are a few important rules to remember when taking part in a “hook up”.

January 26, 2009 | Dating Tips by admin

Into every relationship, some rain must fall. We all fight (some of us more than others). How you fight can determine whether it will eventually end your relationship.

The Reasons Men Don’t Call – or - Why I Didn’t Call You, Susie

January 20, 2009 | Dating Tips by Dilettante Derek

He's not calling you. Photo by Nicu Buculei (Flickr)Ahh Susie, I remember the first time I saw you. You were playing Cricket on the second dart board near the jukebox. You had a terrible throwing arm and only hit the board one out of three times on average. When you landed that black dart in the creepy old guy’s beer, I was hooked. You were wearing jeans and a low-cut black shirt. Not slutty low-cut, but tantalizing. I bought you a drink, and we talked for hours. You were smart interesting and funny. But it’s been 5 days since that night and I still haven’t called. And Susie, I’m not going to.

Finding Your Inner Sexy

January 15, 2009 | Dating Tips by admin

mirrorNothing is sexier than self-confidence. Most people have confidence problems, but anyone, regardless of looks, wealth, or weight, can be self-confident. The first thing you have to do is STOP comparing yourself to other people. You are unique. You don’t have to look like a movie star or be as charismatic as a politician, as rich as the Donald, or as cool as a rock star. Just be yourself and like it, and other people will like it, too. Nearly everyone has some quality about them that some people will find appealing. The least important thing is your looks, so forget that and concentrate on what really matters.
