Says not even a woman comes close to the game's addictive physical sensations.
Hugh Grant, God love him, is the Prince Charming of RomCom's. And the latest, Did You Hear About The Morgans, co-starring Sarah Jessica Parker, looks sure to please.
Just like that character, real-life Hughey admits to having relationship difficulties off-screen. The culprit? Golf.
"I'm obsessed and it's destroying my life," he says. "Golf is an addiction."
Apparently it's so bad that he gets out of bed in the middle of the night to practice his swing in front of the mirror. Not something that would help keep a bed-mate around, for sure. What Golf Can Tell You About … Read More
These dating mistakes are common, but the solutions are easy.
Nobody's perfect, but if your relationships tend to peter out after, oh, two dates or so, your romance MO might be due for a checkup. Five common dating habits are most often to blame—read on to identify these buzzkills so you can avoid them in the future.
1. Adopting a Loser Mentality
OK, so maybe your job does suck, that skirt does make your ass look huge, and (woe!) you don't know which fork is the salad one. Your date doesn't need to know that. Fishing for compliments is another doomed tactic, because if he doesn't chirp in right away with what … Read More

Too lazy to leave the house? A new dating site assigns you a virtual body that does all the work.
If traditional online dating sites like Match.com and OKCupid are too detached and cold—what with their prude winks and snoozy, nice-to-meet-you messages—you may be in luck. Why not give adult virtual dating a try? Online Dating For Real Geeks Only

What's really going on when a guy takes off?
Recently, I've been getting messages from readers wanting to know why men stop calling without an explanation. This is a huge component of a single girl's dating life, so let's address it!
In my experience, I find that if a man disappears for good, it's because of one of two reasons. They are:
1. He did something wrong or hurtful
I've never met a man who liked facing me and admitting wrongdoing. Neither have my friends. I once explained it to a girl like this: A lot of men are all about pride and dignity. Women are too, but we know we can't … Read More
A man can have perfectly valid reasons for not asking you out for a second date.
Guys can be fickle, or, as the French say, "huge jerks who don't call women back." Sometimes, though, we've got a pretty valid excuse for not picking up the phone. After the jump, why men might not call you back for that second date. The Frisky: The Curse Of The Second Date
1. We're shy/intimidated. Some guys just get intimidated, or we're too shy to ask for a second date. Make sure you get his number, and call the dude up to scope things out. You'll know if he's intimidated in the first 10 seconds of the call when he … Read More
Tired of bad boys? Try going for the ultimate nice guy.
When it comes to niceness, church-going guys might be the new boy next door. Sure, they get pegged as close-minded, liberal-haters but don't let the Ned Flanders and Kirk Cameron stereotypes overshadow an otherwise varied group of quality males. Chances are, if you overlook the media image and peek into the next Sunday morning service, you'll find someone who encompasses the following qualities. Women Really Do Like Nice Guys
1. He uses clean language. Granted, he'll probably let slip a "frick" or a "darn," but by golly, it's a lot cuter than a slew of f-bombs.
2. More than likely, … Read More
How to survive the three main types of sexual droughts.
Sexual dry spells happen to everyone. One day you're loved up; the next you're single, alone and Mapquesting nearby nunneries. Welcome to your secondary virginity, a dry spell of Sahara proportions.
The good news? Almost every dry-speller we spoke to said that celibacy—voluntary or not—was a valuable growth experience, helping some feel more confident while others relished the surplus of "me time." And surely that's worth more than, say, sleeping with one of these dudes.
We discovered three main types of dry spells and spoke with survivors for insight. Lemondrop: Does Any Woman Have To Lose Weight To Get Lucky?

I'm a happy woman who is single and enjoying her life.
I've never married and have dated many wonderful men over the years. However, when I was a teen my French dad said: Cheryl, if you ever choose to marry make sure the guy is the icing on your cake." While I've met many interesting, funny and charming men, (and some not so interesting) none have been the icing on my cake. I've travelled, worked in a variety of places, met amazing people, pursued many of my dreams...so, while I work as a life coach I remain a little confused about one … Read More
Worst-Date-Ever Nutty Cheese Ball: a recipe from "Eat Your Feelings: Recipes for Self-Loathing."
Dating can be as thrilling as a roller coaster ride, giving you butterflies in your stomach and so much excitement that you briefly lose your sanity, but it can also make your stomach turn in a less pleasant way if your date turns out to be a rotten egg.
