For all your relating needs...
Dear Angry Black Grrl: You need to find out what’s really going on with this guy. His behavior seems pretty juvenile. He’s nice to you in private but when his friends around he makes you feel invisible. If I were you, I’d confront him again and let him know that you really don’t appreciate his childish behavior. (BTW, I still don’t understand why he’d be teased by his friends. What, is he in high school?) Think about it, if he’s pretending that he doesn’t even know you when he’s with his friends, what else is he keeping from you??? READ ON >>
MATURITY. MEN MARRIAGE.
There is always a term out for women behaving “badly,” so let's keep this fair shall we? We've heard these phrases before. So, older men looking for younger women are now wolves. I think it's suitable: cougars. Wolves.

Dear Angry Black Grrl: I think you’ve been a good friend to her by being there for her, giving her a place to stay and by and helping in her time of need, but it’s time for you to let her stand on her own two feet. Tell her that you’re proud that she’s been able to get over the relationship and you were happy to help her during this tough time, but it’s time for her to move out and gain her independence again. Expect her to be upset and tell you that she can’t do it, but be firm with her. If you don’t do it now, she’ll never leave. It’s a little bit of tough love, but she will appreciate it in the long run. READ ON >>
Tick Tock: I often find myself hiding in my office when they bring their babies by for a visit because I want to avoid the inevitable request to hold the baby. By the way, if you ever need me to hold your baby, you should know that I suck at holding babies – watching their little fragile heads move up and down like bobble heads scares me, as is the perpetual feeling that I might accidentally break someone’s baby. I also hide in my office because mustering up some enthusiasm for a baby that will never remember me again takes too much work. READ ON >>
Empower Me: Maybe they sincerely think they are helping individual women to become daring and learn how to change a tire in stilettos. It could also be writers who want women to be empowered and know how to do all the things a "man" knows how to do, like how to "man" a barbecue. How barbecuing became a man's job is a great question. Maybe we should thank… err, I mean blame, the cave men for this macho behavior (if you want charcoal clogged pores and smelly hair, by all means, go for it ladies!). READ ON >>
Picture Perfect: Just because you see a skinny, flawless, fashion-savvy, pore-less, beautiful (…need I go on?) model spread out on a table clothed only in appropriate parts with a handkerchief, it doesn't mean she is (blank). Don't get me wrong, we're all jealous of them! But models tend to get a bad rap for being stupid, airhead bimbos for men's pleasure. Why is that? READ ON >>
Bad First Date: There was Gino in all his stereotypical Italian glory. His shiny black button down shirt was undone down to the second button, revealing a terrifying full chest of curly black hair. Nestled in his bed of chest hair was a gold crucifix, the arms of Jesus appearing to be held to the torture device by the black hairs curled around the cross. He had decided on decorative facial hair for our evening, a thin line running down the sides of his face, almost in the same manner that the cracks on the face of a dummy do. READ ON >>
February Dating Diary: If he’s going to cheat on you, he is going to cheat on you. That’s the hardest pill to swallow, but if he does end up leaving the relationship, he was going to leave the relationship regardless of that new girlfriend or that one-night stand. Don’t kick yourself for not watching him more closely or deciding against locking him in the basement. It just wasn’t meant to be. Move on. READ ON >>
December Dating Diary: Living with your significant other is an eye-opening experience. It was like living with my best friend, but one who constantly farted and had an aversion to cleaning the toilet. I’m sure his experience of living with me was no different; my relentless need for attention and the bunched up Kleenex I left around the apartment on every smooth surface I could find was surely no walk in the park for him. READ ON >>
FEATURED OLDIE
I do remember having a crush on a very nice Asian boy in the fifth grade. But in retrospect, I don't know if I truly liked him or it was because he was Asian and I thought that was what I was supposed to like. My friends and I didn't talk much about boys we liked, but when we did, their culture or background never mattered. As I grew older, I found that it did matter to some.

September Dating Diary: Back in high school, in honour of Valentine’s Day and as a way to swindle money from the student body, our school held an annual “Match Maker” game. Perhaps you’ve experienced this at your high school but, chances are, this match making scheme that purported to find anyone’s “perfect match” from the pool of their student body was our own student council’s version of dating torture: all you had to do was answer a series of innocuous questions (i.e. ideal after school activity, personality trait that describes you best, what you ate for lunch), fill out a bubble sheet, and pay two dollars a pop to find eternal love. READ ON >>
Michelle July Dating Diary: Then I started feeling his vibes. It was clear that he was definitely feeling mine, too. Of course I was elated, but I wasn’t sure what to do. Do I jump him? Do I tell him that I like him? Or do I just leave it alone? I chose to leave it alone because as far as I knew, he was still someone else’s man. READ ON >>
November Dating Diary: Perhaps with a little help from MTV, these love triangles would have been portrayed in soft lighting, with a swelling soundtrack to romanticize the whole ordeal. But because this was reality, most ended with someone “hooking up” in the boys’ second floor bathroom (not me, because in high school, boys never asked me to “hook up” anywhere), and a hair-pulling fight after school. READ ON >>
April Dating Diary: In case you’re wondering if you know or have come in contact with a hit-and-run lovah, here are the warning signs: a hit-and-run lovah is prone to romantic whims and seems fairly sane; he or she will seem open to dating and getting to know people, but will clam up in a short time and leave you wondering what went wrong. READ ON >>
Michelle's November Dating Diary: He was nice, he laughed at all of my jokes, and he appeared to have a pleasant disposition. I liked talking to him, but I wasn't sure if I was feelin' him. The fact that he was from my age group was a definite bonus. My dating life has suffered since prepubescent males are the only guys to step to me. READ ON >>
September Dating Diary: Over the summer, Bee and I celebrated our second year anniversary. I always kid with him that two years is a long time, long enough to comfortably pop out two babies. And then his eyebrow twitches. READ ON >>
March Dating Diary: My friend didn't know, and I wasn't about to take an informal poll through our other mutual friends. The only way I would know for sure is by asking Bee. But as one of my exes once kindly advised me, sometimes ignorance is bliss, especially when it comes down the matters of the heart. "Do you really want to torture yourself in this way?" he reasoned. "No," I pouted. But, of course, I did. READ ON >>
October Dating Diary: "Fight" seems like a strong word to use, especially in this day and age of Dr. Phil and pop psychology and self-help books written by people who are devoid of all personality. READ ON >>
June Dating Diary: Saying I love you is a lot like sex. Some people wait for "the right time," when the moon is aligned with the planets and the temperature is a balmy 21.5 degrees. For others, "it just happens." Neither is good or bad, they're just different. But like sex, being prepared for when that happens is the deciding factor between content and regret. READ ON >>
His Dating Diary: Isn't it funny. We think we will know when we'll be in love, and yet we have no idea when is the appropriate time to utter those three meaningful words for the first time to our significant other. READ ON >>
Michelle's June Dating Diary: She could not answer because she was still in the I-hate-him-but-I-love-him stage. I, in a sympathetic but cold tone, told her that she needed to break off communication with her ex and stop torturing herself. And with that sentence, I realized how much of a hypocrite I was. READ ON >>
February Dating Diary: I grew up on the whole Cinderella story. I watched Pretty Woman ten times. I looked out my window at night and wondered if he was looking at the same stars. But I'm a realist, not an idealist, and so I stopped believing in fairy tales. READ ON >>
November Dating Diary: I hint that I am free that weekend. Nothing. I hit him over the head with obviousness when I offer to accompany him. He says that he may go with friends that I haven't met, and leaves it at that. I am confused and put my head down on the table. READ ON >>
Michelle's July Dating Diary: Phil and I danced. It was cool. He didn't get too close to me. I appreciated that. I hate it when complete strangers grind their nasty bodies on me. READ ON >>
April Dating Diary: Upon deciding what to wear, I realized that no one would care either way. I could show up in a Madonna bustier or a potato sack and have the same reaction from the men there that I've had in the past six months: utter indifference. So off I went, ready to have some fun and not care about the opposite sex. READ ON >>
January Dating Diary: Armed with the complimentary danishes (one cherry, the other cream cheese - so I'm a sucker for free stuff) and Starbucks watered-down coffee, I made my way to the seat that my boss had saved for me. Lo and behold, sitting next to me were two attractive guys, the only ones that looked even remotely my age in the room. READ ON >>
November Dating Diary: I said smugly, "I'm never going to fall in love. I will be a free-spirited writer and travel all over the world and have lots of adventures. I won't have time to be in love." "Oh little one," grandma said. "Just be ready for whatever may happen, and remember what I told you. Because of our curse, you will never be happy." READ ON >>
Michelle's November Dating Diary: Once I think I'm out, it always pulls me back in. That's how I feel about every single one of my relationships, especially my most recent one. In my last entry, I stated that my yearlong love affair had ended, and I was livin' the single life. I also said that my ex and I didn't have any major problems, we just chose to call it quits. READ ON >>
August Dating Diary: As the summer draws to a close, I can't help but reminisce about the non-action that I received. But it did give me plenty of time to think about what I wanted versus what I needed. Most of the time, the two are contradictory. And as I can attest, when you jump in not knowing what you want, you end up with more than a few battle scars. READ ON >>
Michelle's August Dating Diary: Towards the end of the relationship, I realized that I could no longer be Ashanti to his Ja Rule. I kinda figured that out when we started to argue every time that we saw each other. They weren't big fights, but we couldn't let a few hours pass without disagreeing about something. READ ON >>
July Dating Diary: There's only one ex-boyfriend that I keep in touch with, and we've known each other for five years now. I wished I had been able to maintain the friendship with others, but it never worked out that way. This was probably because most of them were asinine and borderline jackasses. READ ON >>
May Dating Diary: This experience has opened my eyes to many things, but I can't say it's all positive. Have I lost my faith? Being in a self-destructive relationship can do that to you. READ ON >>
April Dating Diary: My romantic life, for the past couple of months, resembles something like a knock-off of 40 Days and 40 Nights. Like Matt, I've gone the celibate route. Unlike Matt, my chastity has not exactly been voluntary. READ ON >>
January Dear Angry Black Grrl: It’s better to find out now that you’re not satisfied with your current situation than investing ten years into a job and then finding out that that you hate it. The first thing that you need to do is figure out what you really want to do. Are you looking for a career or a job? A career is something that is long term and a job may be something just to pay the bills. You should also take into consideration the skills that you possess. Perhaps you might need to go back to school to achieve your goals. READ ON >> March Dear Angry Black Grrl: Grrl, I gotta give you props. I don’t know anyone who put the beat down on her cheatin’ man. Not that I condone violence towards anyone, but it’s kinda funny that you went Ike Turner on his ass! All I have to ask you is, do you really want a man that has a history of lying and stealing? Do you really think you deserve to be with a guy that cheated on you? Do you want a man that hurt you so bad that your were forced to physically harm him? READ ON >>
September Dear Angry Black Grrl: If your friends don’t get along with one of your friends, why would you force them to go out with each other? Most people have several sets of friends that don’t mix. It’s just part of life. Your only consolation is to hang out with them separately. True, you will have to juggle your time between her, your other friends, and your family, but this way you don’t alienate anyone. READ ON >>
March Dear Angry Black Grrl: Sista, I think that you need to remove yourself from the situation and give this crazyass love triangle a rest. Not only are you deceiving both people, but also more importantly, this charade can go on for so long! By continuing what you are doing will only prolong the inevitable (I’m sensing that a very mess breakup will occur – no one likes to be repeatedly played). Girl, you don’t need all this drama in your life! READ ON >>
December Dear Angry Black Grrl: Girl, your shyness is cute and sweet, but that ain't gonna help you get that man! You need to let him know that you are interested. He's already asked you to go out with him and his friends, so why don't YOU try asking him out just the two of you. READ ON >>
September Dear Angry Black Grrl: It's up to you if you still want to maintain a friendship with her. Be warned, if she disrespected you once, she will probably do it again. READ ON >>
May Dear Angry Black Grrl: Telling him about the friend that has a “thing” for him might make things a little awkward, so just inform him that there is some tension between you and the rest of the group. Suggest to him that he should talk to them and let them know that you are a part of his life and that they have to respect that. If their funky attitude persists, I say that you take off your jewelry and give them all a serious beatdown. READ ON >>
February Dear Angry Black Grrl: If he still insists that you have nothing to do with them, you might want to reevaluate your relationship with him. If he is that insistent that you don't talk to your old friends, what will he forbid next??? READ ON >>
October Dear Angry Black Grrl: I have a very annoying co-worker. She's annoying because she's loud, has no tact, and can't take a hint. Most of the other co-workers have ostracized her, so she spends most of her time hanging out in my cubicle, talking about her equally annoying boyfriend. READ ON >>
June Dear Angry Black Grrl: Don't be stupid. Dating people at work is not advisable at the best of times, especially when your boss frowns upon it. Whether or not there is a policy against it, your boss can make your life hell. It's a big city, there are 2 million males who don't work with you, stick to them! READ ON >>
February Dear Angry Black Grrl: Playa, playa! They both know about each other? And they don't mind??? Girl, you need to teach a class! READ ON >>
November Dear Angry Black Grrl: Now what would possess you to tell someone all of your ideas? Don't you know that people will do just about anything to get ahead? Consider this a lesson that you had to learn the hard way. When it comes to getting ahead, your own mama might stab you in the back. READ ON >>
July Dear Angry Black Grrl: Well, if you are dear friends, you can be frank with him. And, if he's not ready to come down to earth then he has lost a friend. Let him know that his attitude is hurting your feelings. READ ON >>
April Dear Angry Black Grrl: Sorry sister, but you need to stop right there. What do you mean by "…Bob and I found our way to one of the upstairs bedrooms..."? Oh, so y'all were going to play some dominoes up there, huh? READ ON >>
January Dear Angry Black Grrl: I have a problem and would like some advice. I am very cheap. Since this is the case, where can a fine wonderbread brother like myself find women??? I've tried hanging out at the dollar store and Winners, but I am even cheaper than those girls. What's a boy to do??? READ ON >>
November Dear Angry Black Grrl: During that conversation, he found out that I had slept with more people than he had. He said he was cool with it, but now every time I try to initiate some intimate contact he brushes me off. What should I do? READ ON >>
August Dear Angry Black Grrl: I've been friends with this girl for many years. Throughout the friendship, she has managed to hit on every single man I've shown interest in. Besides that, she's a pretty good friend. What should I do? READ ON >>
July Dear Angry Black Grrl: The other day I found porn hidden under my boyfriend's bed. Should I keep his secret or call him on it? By the way, I am not a fan of porn or any man that reads it. READ ON >>
May Dear Angry Black Grrl: I recently found out that my ex-boyfriend had been cheating on me. We're obviously not together anymore, and I could care less about what he's doing now, but I'm really upset about it and out for some blood. Should I call him on it, or should I just scratch up his car? READ ON >>
Need to Bring Sexy Back?: It is true that it is almost impossible to match the excitement that you felt when you first started dating your man. You were completely smitten by him and everything that he did was cute and thoughtful. The way he laughed, the way he chewed his food — they all made him special. Fast-forward a couple of years and I’m sure that you no longer find his belching and grunting cute anymore. We can all agree that when it gets to that point, it is a good time to put the heat back into things. READ ON >> Ending A Friendship: He’s so much fun to be around that you almost forget that he’s invited you out and conveniently forgotten his wallet at home. It’s a buck today, five tomorrow, twenty the week after. You’re too nice to bring it up, and maybe he’s too scatter-brained to remember to pay you back. Whatever it is, you’ll suddenly feel a drain on your finances whenever he’s in the room. READ ON >>
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do: For these reasons, and also because she was focused on her real-life relationship when Myspace blew up, Jenny had no idea so many people were connecting virtually through the site until long after it launched. “Two weeks after our break up my ex decided to create a profile on Myspace,” Jenny says. “I’d been doing OK dealing with things until a friend who uses Myspace found Brett’s new profile and e-mailed me. That’s when things started going downhill.” READ ON >>
Dating & The Single Grrl: He was somewhat attractive and on rare days, his arrogance and big ego appealed to the dominatrix within. Because of this strange sexual tension/hatred, we always clashed and things were always awkward between us. One night, while out for a friend’s birthday, I ventured to the patio of the club for some air. The patio was actually an alley filled with large recycling bins, thereby demoting the status of this story from Harlequin romance to sale table. READ ON >>
Real Resolutions: Jess, 29, says: “Whenever something bad happens to me, I blame everyone and everything but myself. I want to start taking more responsibility for my problems. I think it’ll make me a stronger person.” Wallowing in the attitude of “poor me” is a waste of time and energy. This year, learn to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with things. The only one responsible for your life is you, and you’re the only one who can affect change to make it better. READ ON >>
Stress & The Working Grrl: I’m talking to the people who plan an outdoor picnic in the wettest month, and the girl who buys the new Jimmy Choos with this month’s rent money. Whoever you are and whatever it is that you do to cause your own stress, it might interest you to know that a certain level of stress is good for you. READ ON >>
Conflict Resolution: The folks who appear on “The Jerry Springer Show” have it all wrong. Contrary to popular belief, throwing chairs at people or lunging across the stage to tear off their tube tops rarely works as a way to get the other person to see your point of view. Sure, it might get their attention, but I guarantee that it won’t be positive. READ ON >>
Dating & The Single Grrl: I had decided that I needed dessert to end the date, so I went to McDonald’s and got a sundae. He said, “I’ll just have to have some of yours. I can’t believe you can still eat after that.” Sure, sharing is nice. But sometimes, a girl just wants her sundae. And she doesn’t want to share it with a hand-holding, kissy-noise-making, freakish-food person. “Wow, you really killed that thing, didn’t you?” he asked, when I chucked the empty container dangerously close to his head. READ ON >>
Dating & The Single Grrl: We were tangled up once, and though we did finally manage to untangle ourselves, we are never quite free of one another – whether it’s intentional or not. We secretly love everything about the clandestine, frustrating still-shared connection. Occasionally we feel the need to remind ourselves that we are real, and perhaps we were at our most real during those moments we spent together. READ ON >>
So Toxic: Humans are probably the most spontaneous creatures in the world, but they're also creatures of habit. And once these habits are established, they are often very hard to break. We'd like to think that we're above all this, but the truth is that we sometimes ignore or repress the warning signs. We can see it in others, but it's always different for ourselves because we're the exception to the case. READ ON >>
Dating & The Single Grrl: Although we didn't find any guys with whom to spend our valuable time with, we did learn a few things: our future lovers have a bedtime of 10 PM. And clearly, if we were to find our future lovers at the Maddy, we would have to remember that they have a bedtime of 10 PM. READ ON >>
When No Means No: It would be one thing to say that I had led Larry on with my…pen-tapping or note-taking, but since I made it clear that I was very committed to my boyfriend, I didn't see a reason for Larry to insist that we have romantic outings that involved me ditching plans with my boyfriend, or that he should start insulting the very man that I chose to be involved with. READ ON >>
Dating & The Single Grrl: M, this manly girl with broad shoulders, a bad haircut and a very loud, abrasive way of speaking, actually related the joys of vibrator love, among other things. READ ON >>
Mean Girls: When I met Denise, we hit it off splendidly. She was someone I could confide in, and she never made me go shopping with her. One year into our friendship, I told her that I was interested in a mutual friend. Two days later, she slept with him. READ ON >>
Relationship Resolutions: Nothing brings people closer together than a microphone and a synthesized Whitney Houston song. And if your bond can endure the renditions of Staying Alive and Dancing Queen, then you know your friends are keepers. READ ON >>
Wooing on a Budget: An inexpensive bouquet can still look quite lovely, and even if he's not into fauna, he will still feel special. Tip: If you're really, really broke, sneak into your neighbour's backyard and steal some of their flowers. READ ON >>
Am I Too Damn Nice or Too Damn Stupid?: We walked back to his car and engaged in some conversation. I have no idea about what, as I was mentally picturing myself at home on my computer. READ ON >>
Surviving a Break-Up: As someone who has gone through several break-ups, I can attest that as bleak as things may look, eventually the pain and hurt do dissipate. There was a life before him, and there will be a life after him. READ ON >>
Hot Date Spots: Declare to your friends that you do not want a relationship for a long while. According to Murphy's Law, an incredibly wonderful man will appear on the scene within a few days. READ ON >>
Self Image: I watched what I ate and exercised occasionally. Physically, I felt and looked better, but I was still unhappy inside. I guess the memories of being teased and laughed at did not quite go away. READ ON >>
Retro Love: We never talked about hooking up, because that's not what you do when you're sixteen. Every time I was around him, I felt self-conscious and awkward. I had butterflies in my stomach, and those butterflies were on acid. His birthday fell one day before mine, and I thought that meant we would live in perfect bliss forever and ever. READ ON >>
First Crush: I lovingly claimed my territory on his neck. He yelled out, "Who kissed my neck?" and I proudly said, "I did!" READ ON >>
Interview With the Ex:
B: I like to make it a unique, special first date, as opposed to just going out to dinner and talking.
C: Ha ha ha. That's what we did.
B: (silence) READ ON >>The Best Part of a Relationship: Like most, I too am partial to the stage when everything is so damn right. You know that phase when your man could do no wrong - he calls all the time, when you hear his voice your heart starts to beat 10 times faster than normal, and even the little annoying things that he does, you find cute. READ ON >>
Friends With Exes: Some might say that maintaining a friendship with an ex is just asking for trouble (i.e. holding on to the past). But I believe that it really depends on how you feel towards that person. Check out the following list and judge for yourself whether or not you and your ex can still be friends. READ ON >>
Hanging With The Boyz: They may be crude, disgusting, have a one track mind (me too!), spit and constantly adjust themselves in front of me, but I gotta love men. Since I was a little girl, I've always had a lot of male friends. And believe me, I never understood why. READ ON >>
Juggling Relationships: Puppy love: the stage where everything revolves around you and him. Then, your girlfriends scream, "What about us?!" Juggling relationships is not an easy task when you enjoy spending every moment with your new found love. READ ON >>
Jungle Fever: I do remember having a crush on a very nice Asian boy in the fifth grade. But in retrospect, I don't know if I truly liked him or it was because he was Asian and I thought that was what I was supposed to like. My friends and I didn't talk much about boys we liked, but when we did, their culture or background never mattered. As I grew older, I found that it did matter to some. READ ON >>
Celebrity Relationships: There might have been a time when such a coupling would have aroused cheers from the general public, but this time has quickly been overshadowed by her latest album. Much like Britney Spears, we don’t need to hear Avril share her thoughts on world poverty or deliver a dissertation on the perils of fame. Nor do we need to hear her discuss married life with Deryck Whibley, who has gained nothing from this union but a splitting migraine from too many “Girlfriend” listens. Still, there’s just something desolately sweet about a man who is oblivious to all of wife’s shortcomings. READ ON >> Gotta Have A Ruffneck: The guys that are taking it to the next level - the ones that have become obsessed with way they look. One of the biggest turn-offs for me is a guy that waxes his eyebrows. If you have rather bushy eyebrows, by all means, trim them. But fellas please don’t wax them to the point that they look like two faint lines drawn over your eyes. That’s scary! READ ON >>
Michelle's Highlight of 2006: I adore my students and I loved speaking with them, but I grew tired of my job and I was noticing that I finished the day bored and stressed. Before this job I bounced around from place to place. I never found a job that entirely made me happy. Working at the ESL school came very close, but I still felt a void. Even my co-workers sensed my dissatisfaction. They persuaded me to take the leap and do what my heart desires. READ ON >>
Michelle's Highlight of 2004: I know that you've heard me complain over and over again about my crappy, boring jobs; but in 2004, I finally landed a job that didn't make me wake up in the middle of the night screaming. READ ON >>
The Job Search: Do not list your interests unless it applies to the job. For example, if you are applying for an Administrative position, it will not help your odds if you include that you are also a part of a budding R&B group. READ ON >>
Metrosexuality: Metrosexuality in a woman makes army fatigues, mesh baseball caps, and smoky eyeliner sexier than a ball gown. A metrosexual man might wax his chest, paint his nails and never leave the house without ironing his Dockers. READ ON >>
Happygrrls' Sexy Style II: I love strong, muscular arms (it does not have to be gigantic). If there's a tattoo on it, it's even better. I think it's cute when guys flex their muscles for you even when you know that you could probably take them in an arm wrestling challenge. READ ON >>
Sexiest Encounter: As soon as we got into the backseat of the cab, he pulled me closer to him and gave me that look that guys give you when they want less talk and more action. Of course I didn't mind; I wanted him to break me off a little somethin' somethin' too!! READ ON >>
Working Girl: My friend, Quyen, and I got summer jobs as cashiers at the McDonald's Africa restaurant in the Toronto Zoo. I thought, "This will be easy, who goes to the zoo anyways?" Okay, lots of people go to the Zoo. READ ON >>
Michelle's Highlight of 2002: I was once told by a friend and co-worker that I should get a job where I get to "talk a lot." My friend was basically telling me that he found me to be quite chatty, to say the least, and that I should get paid to talk. I laughed at his statement, and continued to speak with him instead of doing some work. READ ON >>
7 Misconceptions About Single Women: Single women are not out to get your man, so stop looking at us like we just had him last night! While he may be a decent guy, that doesn't mean that we're going to hit on him every chance we get. READ ON >>
Working 9 to 5: Don't panic, I told myself. It's going to be okay. Just find a job and that'll be that. And so the job hunt began. At first, I applied to a couple of positions a week, and to things that sounded great but I knew I was too underqualified for. This was something that I had to do, although deep down inside I dreaded going back to the daily grind. READ ON >>
Happygrrls' Sexy Style: Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to look away. In that moment, you lose sight of everything but him, and you know in an instant that your night has only begun. Your heart beats just a little more earnestly, your pulse races, and all you can think of are the endless possibilities. READ ON >>
