Back in the 90’s I remember a movie coming out called ‘He Said, She Said’ with Kevin Bacon. I’ve never seen the movie, but I do recall thinking it was a great title and a great idea for someone to capitalize on by either writing a book or writing a screenplay based on the way men and women can see a similar situation, but somehow see it in a completely different way.
Last week, I was flipping through channels and I came upon this infomercial for this new type of equipment that allows you to create music. After the creator showed the well-versed host what the average person could do, she said excitedly, “Wow, instant gratification to creativity.”
I don't know about you, but I often get Xmas gifts that I don't like, care for or even need. For instance, my stepmother would buy me these hideous sweaters and outfits and even though they were not my taste, being the person that I am, I would smile and thank her. After all, I was taught it's the thought that counts. The idea of giving away something someone gave me for Xmas just didn't sit well with me so instead of throwing it out or giving it away, I would feel guilty and I would hold onto it and a couple of years later have a pile of stuff I didn't care for.
Is there anyone out there who has never been on a blind date before? Better yet, is there anyone out there who has been on a successful blind date? I’ve been on about 4 or 5 blind dates and none of them really turned out to be anything special. One was a movie date. The guy had seen the movie before and chose to narrate each and every scene for me. He was special…not.
You've been in a relationship for a moment and are pretty sure about your feelings. You're in love and you're dying to tell that person, but you don't want to be the first one to say it and you're quite sure that given the right moment, they will admit their feelings. A few weeks or even a month has gone by and they haven't said anything. Afraid that you are going to burst, you say those 3 magic words--I love you, only to hear back those 2 dreaded ones, thank you.
Have you ever asked the question or even been asked the question, should I buy the person I just started dating a gift for the holidays and if yes, what to buy? Or what if you’ve been dating for close to a year and the holidays are coming around. Are you also confused and not sure what the holiday gift etiquette should be?
My ex-fiance had a penchant for looking at other women when we were together and no matter how many times I would tell him it bothered me, he would continue. My thought process was that if he continued, then I would just join in the fun and do my own looking. When I shared with him my idea on joining his little hobby, he told me in strong terms that if I even turned my head to look at other men; he would cause me bodily harm. Moving on…
My aunt used to love giving my cousins and me dating tips. One of her favorite suggestions was for us to go down to the Bowery in New York City, find a guy, and clean him up. Her rationale was… you never know. Some of those guys could be just down on their luck and once you clean them up, you might end up with a winner. Well… I didn't follow my aunt's advice. There just seemed to be too many other options for a girl back then. Today, I'm not so sure and once in awhile I consider her advice, but that's not the point of this article.
It's funny (or maybe not) but I've been hearing the word selfish a lot. Some of my friends have been complaining (some in serious relationships and some married) about it and I don't think it's mainly an issue with the men, but also with the women being selfish (although I would like to think it is always the men.)
One of my close friends is more than a few years older than I am. Because she was happily married for many years and has raised amazing kids, many single women seek her advice. Until recently I wasn't one of them. Let me back up. I never thought her advice applied to me until recently.
