I admit that I am 100% guilty of not taking this advice in the past. I met one ex-boyfriend after his married best friend hit on me. Then, there was the guy whose friends all made a group pact that they would never get married.

I would never get into a relationship with a man who was constantly contradicting himself and constantly changing his views on things based on appeasing other people... and I would never vote for a President like that, either.

I know how awful that is; that sinking feeling in your stomach, the heat flashes or chills running through your body when you realize a few days, weeks or months have gone by and he hasn't called.

Many women get upset when a man doesn't act on her time line. But here's the thing -- he doesn't know about our time line unless we tell him about it

Maybe your pickiness, your deal breakers, are really just walls you're putting up to keep you from getting hurt.

We've all been in love. And we've all been TERRIFIED of having that love not returned or having that love taken away. We each have our own defenses we put up to try to keep us from that hurt.

We may not have the luxury of quitting our jobs. We may not have the luxury of going after our dreams full-time. But we have the luxury of remembering that our happiness is in our hands.

It is not until we can separate the person from the memory that we will cease being haunted.

Until we can learn to unequivocally trust ourselves and our partners, I suggest staying away from the snooping that is being handed to us with the new Facebook layout.

There's all this hoopla about planting seeds and setting intentions but what happens once those seeds are planted and intentions set? What then?

"Have you ever cheated?" the man I'm in love with asked totally nonchalantly while spooning out a portion of veggie pan fried noodles. SH*T. I was faced with a split second game time decision.

He hung up. He hung up mean. I didn't know who that person on the line was. And I thought about things that I had said and ways I had reacted, and I didn't know who that person was, either.

I couldn't wait to declare our love for each other by sharing it with the world on Facebook (because how else does one declare their love if not through social media?)! He wasn't into it. I panicked.

I was so filled with joy over what I DO have -- amazing friends and nieces and nephews who just fill my heart with love -- that I didn't have a moment to focus on any perceived lack.

Last night I opened to a few random pages of the book "The Game," a guide for pick-up artists by Neil Strauss. According to many guys I know, this is ...

I've been dating someone off and on who sometimes, like all of us, gets down. And when he does, I try to help him.

On the superficial level, we crave relationships because we don't want to be alone. We want comfort. But there is a much deeper level that we might not even be consciously aware of.
