Interesting is Very Attractive
When I was fifteen I had a break up I thought would kill me. Sadness descended in our home with such fierceness that my father still calls it the “semester of the never ending dark night.” Finally one day my mother braved her way into my room, where I was listening to my Rick Springfield cassette tape for the 10,000th time, with a piece of inspiration I’ve carried with me all these years. “Lisa, the best revenge is to be interesting.” In typical dramatic flare she didn’t elaborate except to say one more thing, “It’s also the best way to get another boyfriend, and it’s time my dear.” As it turns out, as usual my mother was right. Although it took me a while to figure out her magic formula, when I got my head around it I ...
You Know You Might Be a Booty Call If…
First of all, let me state for the record, I have no issue with the concept of booty call. If both partners are consenting, and know exactly what they’ve signed up for – great. However, it seems as though women can’t see the forest for the trees inside the booty call at times. Meaning, the man involved knows exactly what it is. He defines it by his unwillingness to take the relationship further. Her friends even know what it is. However, she wants to think there is something more serious going on, or at least hopes there might be someday if she hangs out long enough. It used to be incredibly simple. The rules around the booty call were pretty straight forward. Now things are quite as simple as they used to be. There are...
One Piece of Relationship Advice
In an interview recently I was asked, “If you had just one piece of relationship advice what would it be?” Just one??? Heaven knows I’ve got more then one thing to say about relationships. I’m not even sure how I answered that question, but upon reflection I did come up with an answer that surprised me. My one piece of advice wasn’t all that sage. It is simply this – turn off the TV. That’s right. Turn off your TV. It’s also my one piece of advice for how to overcome depression, make friends, lose weight, get your house organized, and improve your children’s grades at school. When it comes to relationships the TV is a lot like junk food. It’s cheap, it tastes good, but it’s just not healthy. First of all,...
Why Haven’t I Heard from Him
Here’s the deal Ladies, men are not stupid. They deserve a lot more credit then we give them. I’m hear to tell you, unless you have specifically said, “Please don’t call me regularly.” , they know you’d like them to call, text, IM, or send smoke signals. They know you’d like to hear from them. They also know exactly what not calling means. It means they aren’t 100% engaged in being with you. They might be interested, but they aren’t fully in the game. Unfortunately, to paraphrase the book, He’s Just Not That Into You. Secondly, men also don’t need us to make excuses for them. When you start a sentence by saying, I haven’t heard from him for a week – and then finish the sentence with BUT he’s busy with his stressful...
