The Art of the Ultimatum

Posted by Susan Walsh on Apr 13, 2009 in Ask Susan, Relationship Strategies

Dear Aunt Sue,
I’ve been with this guy Tyler for a while and I really like him a lot. At first we were just hooking up, and we never talked about the relationship or anything. But it became a regular thing, and I developed feelings for him. Then I found out he hooked up with someone [...]

Kissing and Dishing

Posted by Susan Walsh on Mar 12, 2009 in Girl Talk, Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

There’s a new website called Kiss and Dish that looks like fun. It’s a place to share stories, commiserate and get advice if you need it. I learned about it in an article at the Ohio State student online newspaper.
Kristen Ricordati and her business partner Daniel Kiepfer started the site where users can share and [...]

Humour Me

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 18, 2009 in Tidbits

Yesterday, in writing about a hilarious blog written by Welsh Girl, I stated that no one does self-deprecating humor like the Brits. Today I’m more convinced than ever, thanks to my English friend Annabel, who called something equally amusing to my attention: the personal ads in the London Review of Books. They are so outrageously [...]

Single and Surviving (Just)

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 17, 2009 in Girl Talk, Tidbits

 
I’ve discovered a new blog for you! It’s called Single and Surviving (Just), and it is penned by Welsh Girl. The first time I visited it, I read a post entitled NOT Hugh Grant, then… and I laughed so hard chicken soup came out of my nose. Now I check her blog every day to [...]

Move Over St. Valentine, Rabbis Are the Real Romantic Experts

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 13, 2009 in Relationship Strategies

 
This morning I checked my inbox knowing that my Google Alerts would have coughed up numerous articles about romance, just in time for the imminent, dreaded, Holiday That Must Not Be Named. Sifting through the trite and the cute, I found four separate articles describing recent college speed dating events. Huh? I thought speed dating was [...]

Posted by Susan Walsh on Feb 4, 2009 in Hooking Up Realities, Relationship Strategies, Tidbits, What Guys Want

When we want something, we employ strategy to help us get it (hopefully). It might not be a sound, well thought-out strategy, but we choose one path or another. Obviously, our chances for success are greatest if we have considered all the angles. One of the most important factors to consider in any strategy is [...]

A Man’s Take on Advice in Women’s Magazines

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jan 30, 2009 in Relationship Strategies, Tidbits, What Guys Want

The other day a guy left a comment expressing frustration at Sexual Attraction + Compatibility = Nothing?  His point was that he gets jerked around by girls all the time, especially when he is a nice guy. They lead him on, flirt and fuss, and then say they don’t want to date. It got me [...]

Is Marie Claire’s Rich Santos an Ignorant Beast?

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jan 16, 2009 in Girl Talk, Relationship Strategies

Marie Claire has a dating blogger named Rich Santos, and I find his bits kind of sweet and charming. And he’s very honest. Too honest, sometimes, as in TMI, and he’s not always, er, PC on the feminism front. Well, over at Jezebel, they’ve been none too pleased with Mr. Santos lately. They’ve got a [...]

Posted by Susan Walsh on Jan 6, 2009 in Relationship Strategies, What Guys Want

“Never frown, because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.”
Anonymous
