Ask Susan,
Hooking Up Realities Dear Susan,
Now that midterms are over, I’m starting to think about going home for Thanksgiving. I’m worried about making the wrong choices. Actually, I’m worried I’ll make the same wrong choice several times over in the four days that I’m home. Last summer I had a thing with a guy. [...]

Relationship Strategies,
What Guys Want “Joey: You waited too long and now you’re in ‘The Friend Zone’.
Ross: No, I’m not in the Zone.
Joey: Come on, Ross; you’re mayor of the Zone!”
Friends
I’m one of those cynics who thinks it is really, really difficult for guys and girls to maintain platonic friendships. I think it works best when:

Hooking Up Realities,
Relationship Strategies I speak with many women who would like to be in a relationship, but are missing one important ingredient: that elusive Y chromosome in the form of a guy.

Girl Talk,
Tidbits I’m away for a couple of days, but I’m leaving you some toys to play with:
1. Check out Pixcetera’s fascinating look at what magazines do to photos of celebrities. I’ll take Robert Pattinson both Before and After. Love the unibrow, love the crooked nose, love the bed hair. Bite me.
2. Blair Thill, a graduating senior [...]
