Try to be as active as possible, even if it just means scheduling a walk every evening. Also, I'm not sure what your diet is like, but cutting out processed foods and cooking/eating simple foods like fruit, veggies, proteins, etc. will really help. I stopped going to the gym for almost a year when I started working…

I have finally, after dating a parade of assholes, douchebags, and fools, found the man of my life. We moved in together several months ago and are now talking nuptials - we hope to be married by next fall. I, who was once a closet commitment-phobe, seriously did not know it was possible to love a man so much. Words…

Just keep doing your thing. If he's stuck around for two months, he clearly likes you, so I wouldn't worry about it, because, like you said, worrying all the time is exhausting (and unproductive).

You can tell him (in less crude terms) that while he's a lovely guy, you don't shit where you eat. In other words, you'd like to keep the relationship platonic because you value your job and don't want to date any co-worker for fear of adversely affecting your work. Even he should be able to see the logic in that.

Agreed. Cute, but nothing special, imho.

I think the best friend might have a crush on you!

I actually like that movie too - if you were to ask me what my favorite movie with her in a starring role is (i.e., not like "Se7en", in which she played a small supporting role), it would be "Sliding Doors."

No apologies necessary!

I would have read it as, "finding a script for a movie on your friend's coffee table, stealing the role out from under her, and winning an Oscar." Isn't that what happened between Gwynnie and Winona Ryder?

Anyone who studies the Clinton administration knows that it was really run by a triumvirate - Bill, Al Gore, and Hillary. Even if she was just the First Lady, that would have been good experience, but she was actually more than that in the context of the Clinton administration. Unfortunately, most Americans know very…

I understand, you don't want to be a Debbie Downer and possibly drive him away. But, you know, if he's indicated to you that he wants this to be a long-term relationship, then he will stick around. But yes, I do think it would be a good idea to get into therapy the moment you get back on insurance, because this stuff…

Basically, "soapy" shows are not soap operas, per se, but they do share certain attributes with soaps - i.e., campiness, overly dramatic story-lines, and often mediocre (sometimes outright bad) acting. They're just not as outright ridiculous as soaps.

Except that most of these women, if they are successful in marrying a wealthy sugar daddy, won't be doing this type of work, except for the unwanted sex. They'll have maids and nannies.

Promoting abstinence-only education even though that clearly didn't work for her.

Right? She could be describing any college.

Thanks :) I'm indescribably happy with my guy, and I think you deserve that too. I totally understand where you are coming from in wanting him to contact you more often. And I just realized that you've been seeing him for six months on and off (reading comprehension fail). How long has it been since you were "on"…

Meh. I wouldn't call her evolved style hipster - go to Williamsburg any weekend afternoon and you'll see what that looks like. Call me when she starts sporting a plaid shirt and an ironic hairdo.

When you're dating (but haven't had the talk about being exclusive), it's not realistic to expect that a guy is going to contact you every day. I understand, however, that you really want him to call, because I've been in that spot. I dated this dude who seemed really into me but would sometimes go several days…

LiLo's parents are definitely partly to blame for the way she turned out, but at some point she needs to stop passing the buck and take responsibility for herself and for her actions. A lot of people come from crappy home situations and grow up to be responsible adults, and she has been presented, on a silver platter,…

Yeah, you're totally justified in wanting to pack some heat. Stay safe!
