best friend
I've always told her everything, but now I feel too guilty to lift the phone for a chat.
Perhaps the better question isn't whether you would tell your BFF that you slept with her ex, but whether you'd sleep with her ex in the first place. And maybe a more interesting question is: how would you react if your best friend confessed she slept with your ex? A woman writing to the Daily Mail's advice columnist, Rowan Pelling, may find out the answer to that very question. In her letter to Pelling, she writes: The Frisky: 5 Friends You Don't Need
Six months ago, my best friend split up with her boyfriend of five years. She was desperately in … Read More
The pros and cons of a guy with a strong tie to his mother (and her apron).
You know the type. He has a rock-solid relationship with his mother and was coddled by her way, way, way past the breaking-over-into-adulthood point of life. She still does his laundry. She cooks for him and sends him home with a week's supply of food at a time. She calls him every single day. He's still regularly soothed by her matronly ways. Would you want to date a Mama's Boy, though? Your call entirely. A few pros and cons to consider first.
PRO: He respects women. A Mama's Boy will not say a bad thing about his mother. She was (and … Read More
Why it happens and what, if anything, to do about it.
The results of the man survey (otherwise known as Askmen.com's Great Male Survey) are in. And they have given us a rare, coveted glimpse into the male psyche. One of the questions, in particular, piqued our interest. It's semi cheating-related and reads as follows: "Have you ever fantasized about a girlfriend or wife's friend?"
The results were tallied as follows:
* A whopping 43% of male respondents said yes they had in the past, but that they try to restrain themselves.
* A sizable 26% said yes...regularly.
* Not far behind, 23% said no, no interest.
* And lastly 8% said, no, … Read More
Do your BFF and your BF need to love each other as much as you love them?
I love my best friend, I love my boyfriend. These two people who hold such special places in my heart should love each other like I love them. In theory, if I have enough in common with both of them to have such a strong bond with each, shouldn't the two of them also have the potential to form a real relationship with each other? It should be an all out love fest whenever the three of us get together...except it's not. 'Tis sad but true, my best friend and boyfriend do not quite get along. If I … Read More
Is it good to be best friends with your mate?
On Sunday evening, Angie and I attended a “silent rave” in Union Square Park, which is essentially a few hundred people dancing wildly to the music on their iPods. So if you’re walking by and happen to see this, it looks like a few hundred crazies rocking out to no music. And I mean, rocking out – arms flailing, rave-type stuff. It sounded like a lot of fun and another chance to act like a kid again (and Angie loves stupid fun just as much as I do) so we hopped on the idea.
It was crazier than I … Read More
True Hook Up Confessions of a bi-curious nature.
Anyone who has been at a bar when it closes at 2am is familiar with the tendency of otherwise "straight" women to suddenly become "flexo-sexual" for the amusement of onlooking men. Obviously in this territory, stereotypes and double standards are plentiful, but when the shot glasses get put back on the shelf, what is the truth about bi-curious feelings?
Some of our True HookUp Confessions readers have been buzzing about their same-sex turn ons. Check out what they said:
I like kissing girls, and the feel of breasts, but I have no desire to perform oral sex on a … Read More
Your gay best friend. How much dependence is healthy?
When I ride the New York subway, I'm the envy of most guys around me. I'm ruggedly handsome and have an understated sense of style (it seems I've perfected the sexy just-got-out-of-bed look) and I often have a big grin on my face—one that is inevitably triggered by the smart, sexy, funny woman at my side. On the face of it, we're picture-perfect. We banter; we flirt; I make her laugh like no other man can—at least, not on public transportation. It looks like a devastatingly irresistible dynamic. But not many know how devastating it can be.
You see, I'm … Read More
