dating after divorce
Difficult breakup? Dating rut? You will love again. Here are some fresh dating tips.
Feeling a little rusty? Psychologist Judith Sills, PhD, recommends three attitude adjustments and a new skill.
1. Be truly single. Don't think: I'm too old, tired, or fat to do this. Do think: I just turned back the clock for a second chance.
2. Lose your agenda. Don't think: I save time by laying out exactly what I want. Do think: Discover the person in front of me.
3. Practice on social-networking sites. Don't think: I have no clue how to relate to a new person. Do think: I can use the internet to learn how to flirt and try out my … Read More
Reps say Gyllenspoon is still intact.
People reported over the weekend that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal had broken up after two years of dating, but representatives for the actors immediately denied the reports. Reese's publicist, Nanci Ryder, told People on Sunday, "It is not true," a sentiment that Jake's rep, Carrie Byalick, confirmed. Okay. Let's downgrade from DEFCON-2, everyone.
Reese, 33, and Jake, 28, met when they played husband and wife in the movie Rendition in 2007, and quietly began dating—so quietly that their reps, so eager to deny this breakup, never actually confirmed that they were a couple. So, um, we guess … Read More
Actually, Gosselin said "No way!" to Suleman's advances. But that sounds a bit harsh, doesn't it?
Jon Gosselin is a busy (lady's) man. He's got a firey ex, Kate; a 22-year-old girlfriend, Hailey; and the opportunity to get with Octomom, aka Nadya Suleman.
Guess there's only so much Gosselin to go around, because Jon's not interested in getting to know Nadya anytime soon. Earlier this week, Octomom expressed interest in Gosselin, expressing surprise/delight over the news of his impending divorce, exclaiming, "He's hot!" Jon Gosselin And Octomom: The Next "It" Couple?
Gosselin apparantly heard about Suleman's interest, but as OMG! reports, he replied. "No way!" and added that he plans to focus on … Read More
Finding a husband when you're over 50 is easier than being killed by a terrorist. We promise.
Way back in the mid-1980s, Newsweek published a story that had single women quaking in their power suits. Drawing on the work of three Ivy League researchers, the story suggested that women over forty had a greater chance of being killed by a terrorist than of finding a husband.
Later, of course, the story and its claims were found to be completely flawed and Newsweek, after the twentieth anniversary of the piece, even retracted it. Nonetheless, the image of the middle-aged, unloved divorcee continues to persist and seemingly legitimate publications continue to rehash it. The latest to do so: The New … Read More
With Lohan in the mix, things have officially turned bizarre in the Jon and Kate Gosselin melodrama.
Reaching new levels of bizarre that have shocked us all—none more so than heartbroken party girl and former mistress Hailey Glassman—John Gosselin is seeking refuge in the Southhampton home of Michael Lohan and the arms of recently resigned former Star reporter Kate Major.
And where is the increasingly saintly Kate Gosselin? Taking the children to a Jonas Brothers concert, proving true her intentions to raise the children on her own—a fear that purportedly prompted Jon Gosselin to ditch his troubled paramour this week so he'd look good in custody hearings. In Defense Of Kate Gosselin
Speaking candidly … Read More
It's a really good policy to not neglect your friends when starting a new relationship.
Do you know what couples skating is? I'm sure you do. I'm sure that you've been both perpetrator and victim of this nefarious practice. Now that we all know we're in the same boat, let's discuss what couples skating is and is not.
Couples skating is not turning figure eights on an icy surface. Couples skating is neglecting your friends.

The movie star is enjoying dating for the first time.
Reports that Kate Hudson is continuing to play the field are coming fast and hard (no pun intended – ok, maybe a little).
