The sun did not shine,
It was too wet to play;
So we sat in the house,
On that cold, cold wet day.

…And so goes my summary for the day.

Are you a cat lover? Do you consider yourself to be very much in touch with your inner feline? Cats are extremely loving and affectionate creatures with hearts full of love, but they typically make you earn their trust before they will give their heart completely to you. This describes me to a T, and I’m hoping you as well. More »

Too broke to afford a dating coach, I turned to a local bookstore and came out with Cupid’s Playbook: How to Play the Dating Game to Win by Jeannine and Keith Kaiser. So far, this book is reading unlike any other dating advice book I’ve ever read before. Too often, I feel as if other dating books place fault in other people. It’s not your fault he’s not into you, go ahead and move on they say. Cupid’s Playbook on the other hand, doesn’t want you to move on unless you know who you are to know what you want out of dating and relationships. More »

Dear Guy on our first date,

1) I’m not impressed by lots of money. Yes, its nice to have a guy buy dinner for me every time we go out and to pay for everything, but sweetie, if you’re worth my time, I’ll want to hang out with you regardless and we can split the bill. I’ll be ok with that. If you’re broke, that little tidbit will show itself in due time. There are other ways to charm me. If you do talk about money and it matters that much to you, I will not be seeing you again after the first date. More »

From Ningin: Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not envious, boastful, arrogant or rude…but it sure is generous! If you thought the love ended with all the great editorial specials we have across the Mixr network this month, you’re wrong. We love you so much, we kind of want to be your sugar daddy/sugar mama. How so? We’ve got plenty of opportunities to win cool prizes across the Mixr Network this month! More »

From Ningin: I know many of you already do, but this February, we want more people to fall in love with us. Why wouldn’t you love us? We make you happy, we make you laugh, we’re always here for you, and most importantly we get you expensive gifts. We also like long walks on the beach and the Avatar movie. So we really want to make this February - especially this Valentine’s day - special for you so that you’ll always remember and cherish it. Life is so short. Let’s make the most of it together!

My parents joke that it’s going to be impossible for me to find you because I have such a long list of qualities and expectations for you to fulfill. It starts like this: you should be taller than me, have at least a college education and some kind of ambition, not be politically or religiously dogmatic, have a healthy sense of humor, been in relationships before, and so on. What my parents don’t know though these are all guidelines not rules. The qualities matter for compatibility and attraction reasons, but that’s not all there is to love. More »

I have always been in love with the concept of love. I suspect it’s a symptom of habitual loneliness and yearning for fulfillment that comes from being an idealistic only-child — the desire for your other half who can make walking the path of life much less of a solitary affair, even if it’s only for a little bit.

This probably also explains why I ended up majoring in English in college - I always voted for literature in the “Who’s the greater genius: Shakespeare or Einstein?” debate. It seemed to me that someone who made it his business to understand and convey the workings of the heart had a much more daunting task before him than any other unsolved mystery mankind has ever known.
