I have a question for everyone. It seems that all the advice that exists about dating involves what to do and what not to do on a date. An assumption is made that women have no trouble attracting men who would want to date them.

A friend of mine needs some advice: last week, her brand-new boyfriend (we're taking days here, not even weeks) wrote an email list of gifts he wanted for Christmas, sent it to his mom, and CC'd my friend. To be fair, my friend did ask him to send her his Christmas wish list, but she never expected him to send the same list to his mother at the same time.
She's a little freaked out because she thinks this is a sign of him moving too quickly.

One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived. It's helpful when you're dating someone — I think it's both fun and cute to reread old messages. (Though I suppose this can get dicey when trying to cut your ex out of your digital life, but that's a topic for another day).

Electronic communication can both help and hurt a relationship. On one hand, it encourages constant communication and may make you feel closer to one another. On the other — this constant communication may make you feel suffocated.

Ok, this is going to be a bit long and I am sorry in advance for it.
I have been on and off with my boyfriend for close to 11 years now. In the begining it was perfect but due to some family issues on both sides, the pressure of being together began to be too much.

The men of Swingers championed a rule that fundamentally changed how fellas of the '90s plotted post-date communication. They said a man should wait three days after a date to call a woman so she would want them more. Preposterous, right?

We have all heard of book phenomenon 'The Rules' where we are told that women should never return a mans calls, never look a man straight in the eye on first meeting and never, ever to accept a date from a man for a Saturday if he asks later than a Wednesday.
But does the game of love really work? Are the rules fact or do they actually drive men away?

An essay in this week's New York Times hit close to home. The author, mourning the breakup of a long-term relationship, used Facebook to keep up with what his ex was doing. I've covered this topic before in Tech Dating 101 posts; from using Facebook to get to know a potential date to how and when to change your relationship status.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 months now. He is my first boyfriend, I am his fourth girlfriend. We are both virgins and plan to stay that way until we marry (either eachother or someone else) so the most we do physically is makeout, and fondle a bit. The first month of dating we would make out regularly, and cuddle lots.
