Why dating your best friend may be your best bet to finding true love.
date your best friend

There's nothing quite like feeling a spark of attraction between you and someone you just met. Lately though, we've been wondering whether it's better to date a friend, or at least somebody we've known longer than just a couple of weeks, and who knows more about us than just our name and phone number. Sure, the transition from friend-to-boyfriend might feel a little sticky at first, but here are five benefits that overrule the awkwardness: 

1. He's familiar with your bad side.
Let's face it, during the first few months of dating someone new, it's easy to hold yourself together and pretend … Read More

A great first date starts with choosing the right restaurant.
coffee date

It's been a couple weeks since you and your latest match on eHarmony started corresponding, and after a few late-night IM sessions, the two of you are finally ready to meet in person. Do you test the waters over flights of beer? Or do you pump up the romance with a picnic in the park? Decisions, decisions—this one more challenging because your date is more or less a complete stranger. 

Singles living in San Francisco should thank the online dating gods, then, as a new city guide there offers recommendations for online dating-appropriate restaurants. Melanie Gagliardi, e-columnist author of The Tablehopper's Guide … Read More

We thought that was pretty cool until we saw "Darino and Niko's Incredible Adventure," an 8-bit video game where invitees can play as either the bride or the groom to receive details about the wedding. Here's a clip from their Mario/Donkey Kong-inspired creation:

Open marriage myths: what you may not know about polyamory and open relationships.
open marriage myths

Several Hollywood stars have recently commented on Mo'Nique's confession that she and Sidney Hicks have an open marriage. Some celebrities, Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique's co-star in Precious, reacted nonchalantly. "It's not really news to have an open marriage and open communication marriage," she told Access Hollywood.

Others, like The View's Sherri Shepherd, were quick to admit that they couldn't do it. "Apparently, you don't know why I got divorced," she said. Is Mo'Nique's Open Relationship Sexist?

Whatever the case, the blogosphere is now abuzz with conversation about open marriages, which have been around for thousands of years, but have only reentered the … Read More

Japanese sex club patrons go nuts for this black-market item.

America's golden age—that is, its sexy stewardess era—of aviation might be over, but Asian airlines still uphold a reputation for hiring beautiful female flight attendants. Over in Japan, Japan Airlines is struggling to curb the smuggling of flight attendant uniforms to the country's sex clubs. Since announcing bankruptcy in January, JAL has worked to prevent former employees (among others) from selling their uniforms to the black market, which drop major bank for outfits that come with a polaroid of their previous owner.

How to tell him that you're just not that into him without looking like a jerk.
reject someone nicely

You know the scenario: you've inadvertently attracted an admirer, but you just don't share his feelings. What to do?

In this week's episode of How I Met Your Mother, the gang explained the "bait-and-hook" theory to Ted, which says that everybody has at least one admirer they keep around but don't actually like. Out of reluctance to hurt someone's feelings, we end up sending the message that we can't date that person "right now," even though by "right now," we actually mean "ever." 

Eventually, though, the person's going to either confront you about his intentions, or, if he's already done so repeatedly, … Read More

Jealousy in relationships: Are women more jealous than men? And what makes women jealous?
jealous woman

For as long as we can remember, women have had a reputation for jealousy and cattiness. It's why studios green light movies like Bride Wars. It's why the Team Aniston verses Team Jolie debate continues to rage more than five years after Brad and Jen announced their separation. It's why today, Woman's Day and AOL Living published a "jealousy survey," which polled 2,000 women on what made them envious. Here's what we learned.

Women are more jealous than men.
Seventy-three percent of women admitted to feeling jealous, as opposed to 27 percent of men. What? Men … Read More

Why you should think twice before telling everyone how bad your ex was in bed.

Last Friday, Kate Major confirmed Hailey Glassman's claim that Jon Gosselin has a small package. In an interview with Life & Style magazine, Kate said, "I'm surprised he's so 'cocky' because down there he's definitely not." Supposedly, the former rivals are now pals, having laughed together over Jon's genital shortcomings.

We're not convinced that Hailey and Kate 2.0 are the winners here. Jon might be "hung like a 9-year-old boy," as Hailey so eloquently put it, but she and Ms. Major were the ones who took that three-inch wonder for a ride. Before you trash-talk a former flame, remember that … Read More
