Don't worry so much about disappointing/impressing potential dates. Think about what YOU want in a relationship and make the other person impress YOU.

Seahawks! So pumped to have a winning team in Seattle. We lost our NBA team and the Mariners are awful. (The soccer and WNBA teams are usually good, but not this year.)

You should watch the older seasons first!

My friend had a medical abortion and she said it was uncomfortable, but she liked being able to spend the day at home, watching TV. Plus, it was cheaper with her insurance, not sure why.

I have a friend who suffers from this same problem. She obsesses over guys, but doesn't make a move and then whines when they do the same. She calls men "exes," even if they never dated. It can be frustrating to listen to all these hypothetical ramblings.

Let's raise a glass to Homonym! And Celebrity Homonym!

Any discussion of Prudence MUST include the incestuous gay twins and the woman who thought her mother-in-law was poisoning her.

I think an apology is about as much as you can do, unless you caused any damage you should pay for. If this isn't a regular thing, most people will not fault you for one crazy night. It will become a story, "Remember that time Emma got super wasted?" Try not to be embarrassed. It doesn't sound like you did anything…

The 1995 Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. It came on 6 VHS tapes and I was in Regency heaven.

My sisters are 16 and 18. They alternate between acting helpless and acting like they know everything. It makes me feel old.

You were brave! You took a chance. Lots of people never do that. I know that doesn't make rejection sting any less, though.

But sharing is caring.

For me, it's the combination of all three.

As a nanny, I've had experienced two sleepunders (once picking up a 6 year-old girl and once supervising some 8 year-old boys) in the last year, but that's it.

That poor woman! What a terrifying experience. I hope that bus driver gets disciplined because that behavior is unacceptable. I'm grateful that I've always had good experiences with helpful bus drivers.

Your feelings make total sense! But think back to when you were your siblings' ages and how much you needed your dad in your life. Your dad can visit you and you can go visit him, but your younger brothers and sisters probably aren't as mobile, so that might be what he was thinking when he moved there.

That sounds painful. I watched a kid get a concussion today and OUCH. The thud his head made when it smacked against the scorekeeping table made the whole gym fall silent. Get well soon!

What if he's awesome? I think that possibility makes the risk worthwhile. Next time you make eye contact smile. Then approach him after class and suggest coffee or a study session. Even of it ends badly, you will feel like a badass and will at least get a good story out of it.

I watched my mom do this when I was in middle school. She always liked to start super early, while my sisters were still asleep, so that we could get a few hundred miles in before they woke up. We took frequent breaks when they needed activity and then drove like hell again during nap time. We also listened to a LOT…

I haven't eloped, but I plan to someday. I never had any wedding fantasies and seeing my friends stress out as they plan their Big Day has not changed my mind.
