Love

So last week’s girl-v-guy discussion on the issue of how you behave when you really like someone sparked some serious conversation. Among them was an interesting gchat I had with a male friend after I posted the male take on the issue last Wednesday and alluded to the fact that the female version was a shocker. Here’s the chat. Tomorrow we’ll expound upon it a …

When I asked the male camp what they do different when they really like a girl I provided examples from guys I’d already spoken with. Examples like, “I find I text her after something big happens to me” or “I go out of my way to pick a kind of restaurant I know she’s really going to like.” And so I got back answers like …

It’s been awhile since I polled the male blog board for answers to help us decode the dating process. This time I was in search of the hints that you’re a contender – that in his mind you’ve transition from “want to hook up with” to “want to date.” We’ve discussed the whole guys-place-girls-in-buckets issue to death at this point (for a primer read this), …

“Lemme get your take on something,” one male friend said as we ascended the subway on 23rd street after grabbing some sandwiches and sunburn at the Boat Basin. “I’ve experienced this situation a few times recently with a few different girls I’ve gone out with.” “Okay…” I said, but what I meant was, “awesome because I don’t have a blog topic for Wednesday…” “So we’ll …

Here’s a short story: Guy and girl who already know each other hang out at a mutual friend’s birthday party, get drunk, and travel from bar one to bars two and three together. It gets late and guy, who lives outside the city, decides to crash at a friend’s place in the city. Guy offers for girl, who also lives outside the city, to join …

Carly emailed the below, hysterical youtube clip on Saturday afternoon. Katie – our Kellogg School of Management girl – responded immediately: “You all have no idea just how completely true this is…” The infamous MRS degree – a decades-old joke that the most valuable thing a girl can get out of a college degree is a ring. This Single Ladies mock from some Columbia Business …

Yesterday’s post raised some eyebrows, but the most consistent response from those who commented and/or gchatted was essentially – “yep, sounds about right.” Was anything in this guy’s account shocking to me? No. And for the record – the uncensored version contained some crude assessment of Katrina’s physical nature and the guy’s experience with self-proclaimed “whiskey dick” that seemed unfit for even this blog. To …

Today: One anonymous man’s recount of a Friday night out slash Saturday morning in. Eye-muffs Mom – this is not a tale of our generation’s finest moment… Tomorrow: An assessment of what it means. For him. For her. For us. That is, if it means anything… Also – don’t shoot the messenger. ————————————————Late Friday afternoon rolls around, and I’m sitting at work looking out the …

Somehow between this and my last trip to LA a bunch of my West Coast friends have secured relationships. They’re all in varying phases of execution – preparing for a first vacay together; embarking on the first serious relationship of both their lives; re-connecting after years of hhmmm maybe… So on this trip in LA I spent a good chunk of time discussing actually dating …

Andrew and I were gchatting the other day about something relating to guys and girls’ relating. It may or may not have been on the topic of why I’m single (which we all know is because I let a co-worker win me at the dating auction instead of Creepy Mc-Wow-You-look-like-that-girl-from-Glee.) I was making the oft-made argument that guys say they love it if a girl …
