I love Jason Mraz’s song I’m Yours. Doesn’t every woman? It’s been on Billboard’s Top 100 chart for 74 weeks, a record. It’s the third-best selling digital song of all time, having sold 4.4 million downloads, and it’s still going strong. Why?
Surrender.

Relationship Strategies,
Tidbits I absolutely adore F Minus by Tony Carillo. If I were a Miss America finalist, and was asked to name three people I would like to have dinner with, Tony Carillo would be at the top of my list. He is so wacked. I’d love to be a fly on the wall of his brain. [...]

Ask Susan,
Relationship Strategies Dear Aunt Sue,
I just got home for the holidays and I know there’s going to be drama with my ex over the break. Everyone always says DO NOT hook up with your ex, so I figure it’s probably a stupid idea, but I’ve been thinking about him. We broke up at the end of the [...]

Hooking Up Realities Girl 1: “I know it smells kind of cheap, but I like it because it’s the perfume I was wearing when I lost my virginity.”
