When you've got it bad for someone, it's tempting to shut off logic and ignore the questionable.

You may want to focus on the good (He called! He asked me to dinner! He picked up the check!) and glaze over all that happened in between.

Women always seem to ask me where all the good men are, as if these near-mythical dudes are hiding behind bushes, chained up in some vampire's basement, or are just rare and elusive, like the snow leopard. Normally, I have to resist responding, "Maybe the good guys are just avoiding you." But the answer to this frequent, lovelorn lament is simple: The good men are right under your $#@% nose.

The ladies at TMI Weekly bring us another great video about the perils and triumphs of love in today's world. Do you ever wish you were more than just friends with someone? Has a friend ever wanted more from your relationship? These situations can be very tricky.

Since starting a psychotherapy practice 15 years ago, I've witnessed three basic waves of technology-based infidelity.

Back in the '90s, my clients generally discovered infidelity when opening their partner's cell phone bill. The story was pretty much the same for all of these clients: they would see countless calls to the same number, dial it up and find themselves speaking with the object of their partner's indiscretions. Then came email, the second wave of technology-assisted infidelity. These stories began to emerge in the late '90s. Suspicious partners would log in to their partner's email account and find plentiful evidence of extra-relational … Read More

Ryan asked us this morning what kind of men we prefer to date. I want to talk about what kind of girlfriends we like having. Okay, let's be honest—you know which of your friends are beautiful. You know when your friend gets more guys than you.

I have some beautiful friends. And I like looking at them. Period. I do not feel competition (but then again, an ex once called me the "least competitive person on the planet"). Some women feel threatened by their prettier peers. Why do we do this, girls? I know that insecurity plays a … Read More
