Sex & the Single Woman: Contradictions

Ladies, what do you do if you are in a rut?
It’s so hard to love somebody, but at the same time know that you need to do something about the situation. The horrible contradiction in relationships is loving someone but hurting them simultaneously.
When you are in a rut is it best to keep it a secret or [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Whipped

Last weekend my roommate went to visit her boyfriend’s family and was reintroduced to his sister-in-law. My roommate isn’t too much of a fan of her, especially because she seems to have her husband whipped.
One of my concerns is becoming “that” girl. I would hate to be someone who rules her marriage with an iron [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Taking the Next Step

When it comes to making the first move, I fail. Every time. I can be shy, thus I am horrible at initiating anything.
What I am trying to work on now is improving upon this; becoming gutsier and not being afraid of rejection. My issue now is trying to figure out exactly how to do this.
I [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Come Fly With Me

Last weekend my roommate and her boyfriend of more than a year had a weekend away. It wasn’t anything that they necessarily needed to repair their relationship, but it serves as a reminder of how important it is to take some time for yourself.
Now I know we don’t all have Frank Sinatra luring us to [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Miles High

Last night I watched Up in the Air with two of my roommates. I definitely recommend it because the plot and acting were phenomenal and George Clooney is just plain stunning.
But that aside, the movie brings up the debate of marriage and can one truly be happy living single. Having two happily-wed parents, it’s hard [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Re-evaluation

I know all the time about how I date my guy friends, and honestly it’s because really all of the guys I date I am friends with first.
Light bulb!
New goal: get out there and meet guys who I don’t already see constantly.
This is a bit of a challenger because I’m not one to put myself [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: I’m Not Over You Just Yet

Is it so bad to never get over a guy?
Now I am a firm believer in taking guys who are honestly no good and kicking them to the curb, but what about those guys who are honestly good people? I have met my fair share of dudes who are decent human beings, just not destined [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Cruel to Be Kind

After the recent realization that he’s just not that into me, one of my roommates checked up on me to make sure I was handling everything okay. Honestly, I was over him at that point, though still a bit confused as to what happened. (But isn’t that always how it goes?).
Anyway. My roommate was straight [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: With Glowing Hearts

I am a firm believer that our surroundings constantly shape the men in which we are interested.
Case in point: the Olympics.
So many under-the-radar athletes show up to the games, but leave as high profile stars. As a result, their male or female following skyrockets.
For example, one of my roommates has a newfound love for all [...]

Sex & the Single Woman: Grand Gestures?

I am fortunate enough to have been on the receiving end of some fairly grand gestures of emotion. Sadly, no boy has ever stood outside my window John Cusack-style, but nevertheless, gestures have been made.
These include everything from offers of exotic trips to handwritten poems to surprise home-cooked meals. Yet these have all been platonic.
Yes, ladies, not [...]
