My friend J. Michael gave me some sage advice. Since he’s great looking, a former pro athlete and single in NYC, I figured he’d been in and out of more than a few beds (and heads) in his time.

What is a Blog?
A blog is a like a public journal. Any YourTango user can create a blog, which is a place to write about anything and everything related to relationships. Your posts will appear in the blogs section of your profile.
Why Should I Write One?
Write a blog because you have something to say, and YourTango wants to hear it. Write because you're in a relationship, falling in love, breaking up, getting married, dating or fighting. Write because you're ecstatic, lonely, surprised or scared. Write because you have a question, an answer, an opinion or a rant.
