At the time, he was the first guy I ever dated, and I was a shy, awkward 18 year-old, so I felt uncomfortable bringing it up. I tried to do things like compliment him when he did smell nice (it wasn't every day he had B.O., more like he only used deodorant once in a while) but I don't think he ever got the hint. Now,…

Right now, it hovers around $50 per week, not counting going out (which varies quite a bit). I know I can probably get that figure lower, but I'm trying to eat healthier as well and have been buying more produce. I also bring my lunch to work, so that factors in as well. I guess my issue is that I'm thinking "This…

Aw, I feel you on the wibbly wobbly nerves! It's especially tough when you have to wait awhile before you can see them in person again. It's fun to listen to some light, happy I'm-Totally-Into-You type songs, though. Hope things go great with this guy! You deserve it!

Okay, I see. Well, I don't have a B.O. phobia, per se, but my sense of smell does influence my mood a lot.

By flaws, do you mean traits that otherwise might turn you off of someone completely if you saw them on paper? I once dated someone with B.O. issues and while that wasn't the only issue in the relationship, it did kill the mood for sexy times. We lasted for about 5 months.

I want to see Tom Hiddleston and Chris Evans, myself. But Rebel is amazing, too!

The Bad: I'm stressed because I've started taking on new duties at work, but since our production is tracked, my stats are going down. My supervisors are understanding, and saying I'm doing a good job, but I need to meet a certain standard by the end of my probationary period in June and I'm getting worried about…

Agreed with Community. At this point it seems like the show truly ended last season, and what we're getting now is just bonus material.

Ugh, I feel you on that one. I was into a guy for about a year (and relatively sure he knew it, too but wasn't interested). Meanwhile, he was into one of his close friends while she was in a relationship. She breaks up with her bf, they get together. Not quite the same, but it still sucked. I basically never had a…

Oh, I'm the same way. I was the kid who apologized to her stuffed animals when I knocked them over, and I'm pretty sure I will shed tears when the time comes for a new car. When I moved out of my parents' house, it helped to think of getting rid of items as "passing the torch" in a way, especially if you're donating…

Pro tip: Breaking into a random Sean Connery impression mid-makeout will likely not bring about the intended result (unless you WANT an instant WTF mood-killer).

Baby parrot sorta reminded me of the baby velociraptor from Jurassic Park.

I feel you on Target. I went on Friday and bought three pairs of tights that were on sale when I was intending to just get groceries. And the trip before that, I wound up buying two kinds of gourmet cheeses, and some new hair products that were definitely not on the list I brought.

I really loved Clarissa Explains it All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch when I was growing up (and the TV version of Clueless). Melissa Joan Hart was like THE actress of my childhood.

A few skin care questions!

That's how I read it, too. But I imagined him desperately trying to make a customer's feet fit into a pair of shoes and resorting to toe removal. Hey, commission. :-/

A few years ago, I went on a few dates with a guy who fetishized my hair. Things fizzled out after a few weeks though, so I'm not worried about him showing up with clippers.

Agreed. Usually when I go out to eat, I tend to stick with appetizer/salad/sandwich offerings because they are usually less expensive than the entrees. Sometimes it's not the waistline being watched, it's the wallet (and if you're going out with other people, you don't always get the final say in where you're going).

Possible TMI here, but I got sick to my stomach the last few times I tried eating red meat, so now I avoid it altogether. I love turkey burgers, but those aren't always available. The thing is, diet choices are so personal and I get irked whenever anyone gets all judgmental about what someone else chooses to eat.

No, you're not being oversensitive. I would be hurt, too. The generous, benefit-of-the-doubt side of me would wonder if it was just a poorly worded comment, but if so he has some explaining to do. The other part of me thinks that's something he said just to be hurtful.
