Get Back in the Game

Newly single and perhaps not quite ready to mingle. I’m gonna give it to you straight, being recently singled isn’t the best feeling in the world. There are all sorts of things going on in the mind of someone coming out of a long-term relationship.

Survive the Beginning of a Relationship

Men are strange creatures (we all know this) so it’s surprising that so many women expect relationships with men to be easy or normal—whatever that means. Women, in general, also tend to be very results-oriented so we have trouble enjoying the roller coaster that is love…or like, or lust, for that matter.

Long-Distance Relationships

Trying to have a long-distance relationship can be as easy as trying to maintain an elaborate updo in a windstorm. The reality is that you’re in for a lot of effort so get off on the right foot if you want to keep this relationship standing.

Survive Online Dating

Everyone keeps telling you that you can meet that nice guy on the internet. Your mother is desperate for you to get married and make her a grandmother. What have you got to lose?

Dating Dress Code

Many of you ladies might think won’t need help primping for a first date, as you’re already impeccably dressed and would never think of committing any fashion crimes. But when it comes to impressing someone you’re sweet on, even the most stylish among us can lose our way.

Survive a Bad Date

Even when it’s going well, dating can be awkward. When you combine that nervous energy with absolutely no chemistry, a bad attitude or a psychopath, a date can go from pleasantly clumsy to total torture.

Dating As A Single Parent

Dating can be an awful experience at the best of times. Trying to do it with a child in tow can be even tougher. While you may be “Holding out for a Hero” as Bonnie Tyler once said, there are all those other less valiant fellas to get through first.

Say Bon Voyage to Crappy Vacations

Ah, the romantic notion of that first vacation. Sunny beaches. Fun couples activities. Romantic suppers watching the sunset. How very Harlequin. If you have expectations of sexual interludes on the sand with classic soundtracks playing through your head, drop them now. Does the idea of having sex on sandpaper sound like fun?

Deal with His Emotional Unavailability

Okay, you love him, but he doesn’t show any signs of emotional commitment to you. He’s great at avoiding discussions that use words such as “love” or “marriage” or even “shacking up.” Why is it you’re in this relationship again? ...

Charm the Pants Off Anyone

When it comes to etiquette, mother really does know best. “My mother always taught me to look a person in the eye when you meet somebody new and never give a limp handshake,” says Debra Goldblatt, president of Rock-it Promotions in Toronto...

Win Every Argument

Disclaimer: This article should be used for good instead of evil, especially if you’re one of those annoying people we get stuck talking to at parties who insist you’re always right. Some of these suggestions are mucky, so use the force responsibly...

Online Stalking

Now, before you get all mad and tell me how wrong it is to stalk someone, I’m not talking about threatening someone or being creepy-like. I’m just doing a bit of snooping...

Wow His Parents

You’ve been dating for a while now, he makes moon eyes at you and you finish each other’s sentences. One day he turns to you and says, “My mom wants to know if you’d like come over for dinner.” Cue scary music. Heart palpitations, sweaty palms – this is cause for nervousness. Why? Well, if it’s serious enough to meet the guy’s parents, then you’re probably pretty serious about the guy. And if you’re serious about the guy, you want the guy’s parents to like you. So how do you get through that first meeting without eventually having those parents ask your beau, “Whatever happened to that cute girlfriend of yours?”

The Emergency Beauty Guide

You wake up hung over, slightly sweaty and about 20 minutes late for work. You were too busy partying last night to do laundry and you passed out without ...

The Walk of Shame

If you haven’t heard of the walk of shame, either you’re one of those brazen people who doesn’t consider it shameful or you’ve never performed it. If the latter is the case, Robin Anderton and Jay Desario, offer this advice in their book,...
