In honor of National Boss day (October 16) and recent work romance shenanigans, we wanted to explore what's legal, taboo and inadvisable in terms of sex, love and the office.

Between Oprah's flight crew debaucle and David Letterman's at-work affairs, looks like Hollywood could use some tips on dating in the workplace, too. While Oprah really had nothing to do with the alleged activities, the flight attendant who was fired for the misconduct is now suing Harpo, Oprah's production company, for $75,000. 

According to the Chicago Tribune, flight attendant Corrine Gehris says that a fellow flight attendant and a guest on … Read More

A new study by psychologists Jens Förster, Kai Epstude, and Amina Özelsel at the University of Amsterdam says romantic love—or even thinking about romantic love—opens the curtains of the mind and unleashes creative thinking. 

At first blush, this seems hard to believe. We actually had to sit and think about it—comb through our romantic libraries, if you will. Embarrassing teenage poetry aside, whenever we've found ourselves in the thick of "deep like" or "love" we've morphed more into flustered absent-minded (maybe jealous?) professors than creative gurus. We forget to turn off the coffee pot, our keys are misplaced, … Read More

From our friends at Celebitchy.com.

The summer has pretty much come and gone, and so has the film, The Bounty, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler from theaters. However, the hot rumors of whether or not they had a real romance are still lingering.

Earlier this summer, the two were photographed arm in arm on set and were supposedly spotted kissing, but Celebitchy.com isn't buying into it.

"I couldn’t see Butler really settling down at all. He seems like the type who is happy with brief hook ups and who might have a fling with a co-star as long … Read More

I was 10 years old when my mother took me to the movies to see Dirty Dancing. I, like so many women, fell head over heels in love—with the movie, with the soundtrack, and most definitely with Patrick Swayze. I loved that movie so much that when I couldn't sleep at night I used to recite the movie in my head line by line.

That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the … Read More

You are in a state.

"Pangs of love," you say as you roll over on the couch, pantomiming stab motions to the heart. Your roommate looks bemused. It's the third or fourth date, and you've been struggling to hold off sending those late-night, inappropriate text messages. "Head. Heels. You. Me." (send—no wait, delete.) New Relationship Rules: Texting & IMing

Instead, you're on your knees, head in hands, summoning the forces of the universe to carry your love-cry out to the one you desire. Does he hear? Maybe. Will it be returned? The silence of everything that has not been … Read More

With nothing intelligent to do with my time, I decided to wander into a local eatery for a happy hour snack and beverage.  I've discovered that happy hour is a great place to meet people, and it provides wonderful opportunities for me to ask questions and stay abreast of the astonishing things going on in the minds of single men and women in the dating world.This past Monday I rolled in, parked my butt on a stool, and ordered nachos and a margarita.  Recognizing me from a few weeks ago, a gentleman ran over to my table to ask how … Read More

Okay all you lovers out there, so what do you know about dating, living and loving in the recession? Budgets for lavish dates and gifts have shrunk; long-term plans for established relationships have been somewhat downsized; and we're all perhaps a little more deliberate in our dating than we were in the boom times.

Things have changed—not least in the way you appreciate your mate. Below, some of the new realities that have emerged in these tough times:

You don't need to spend a lot to get a lot. In a guest post, "Funky Brown Chick" … Read More

Raj had me almost at hello, but he didn't seem to realize it. As so often happens, the same was true in the reverse, as well. We had sat in the park after a friend suggested we meet and shared stories from our lives. We parted with no further plans.

And then, out of nowhere, an email: "Call me urgently." Two minutes later, we were on the phone. He was charming and funny—and he had a proposal, a potentially very lucrative project that would come from one of  his clients.

It's always tricky to mix up work and romance, but in … Read More
