The gals at The Frisky have a great list of dos and, more importantly, don'ts about trying to get back with an ex. My plan is: be awesome, apologize profusely (regardless of whether you mean it) and make promises that you could never possibly keep.
With exes on the brain, Em & Lo (EmAndLo.com) field a question from a … Read More

We'll explain.
It all begins with an e-mail from an earnest recently divorced guy who says he's having a hard time dating because he's "too nice."
"I have always been the nice guy," he says. "Ready with an honest compliment and holding the door, etc. It’s not an act—it's just … Read More
