Sasha Speaks 11.15.10

Dear Sasha,
I’m 20 and I have never been on a date. It’s not that I don’t like girls, I actually think about them all the time. The problem is that I’m beyond shy, to the point of becoming a deer in the headlights anytime I even try to approach a girl to talk to her. On campus, in social settings with my guy friends, and at work, I freeze up.

The Animals – Baby Let Me Take You Home

By Kimberly Wharton

Yesterday morning I awake in anticipation of a new day! With a cup of coffee in hand, I’m ready to face the website of choice and see what awaits. What I discovered was an e-mail from a man we’ll call GGMan3.

…yeah, I just pulled a Taylor Swift. …that was his real screen name. The e-mail went something like this, “Kimberly, Your profile is horrible and unimaginative. It shows a definite lack of romanticism and creativity, not to mention cynical of others. I would never date a girl like you.” Click here to read more…

PDA. It doesn’t look so bad when you read it- just three simple letters minding their own business, respectfully keeping their appendages to themselves, and not really doing anything to disturb you. But when these letters are taken off the page and are brought into reality, they can get ugly real fast, as I’m sure you can attest.

Unfortunately, witnessing and putting up with large amounts of PDA on an almost day-to-day basis is one of the more negative aspects of a bartending job. Which leads me to the question: why do people, or should I say, “sloppy drunks,” choose to engage in these public displays of affection?

Is it to 1) show off how hot and steamy their relationship is?
Is it to 2) make you writhe with jealousy?
Is it because 3) their unbridled love is so passionate that it cannot wait till later on?
Or is it because 4) they are wasted and aren’t really thinking about the world outside of them?

Where does this desire to distastefully exhibit your love to the world around you stem from?

In response to question 1, if a couple is engaging in PDA to show how hot and steamy their relationship is, they have many, many issues. First off, if there relationship is so hot and steamy, there really shouldn’t have been any reason for them to leave their room to start with. And in addition, if the couple would rather make out and grope each other instead of having conversation and enjoying each other’s company, it probably follows that they don’t have a lot of things to say to each other and are more than likely relying on lust to keep their relationship going.

Bad Date TV: Don’t Be a Dating Don’t! Ep. 3

By Kari DePhillips

Across the globe, people young and old engage in the elaborate social ritual known as “dating.” However, what that means can vary from country to country. As a result, it’s important to arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible – especially if you’re into accents. For example:

In Britain, men are far less likely to write love poems and make other romantic gestures. Instead, a Brit often purchases sexy lingerie for the woman of his dreams. And that’s probably where she’ll stay, if he doesn’t stop buying a thong instead of roses every time he does something wrong. Click here to read more…

Dear Sasha,

I’ve been dating this guy who could be “the one,” the only thing is he has NO sex drive at all! ZIPPO — It’s been months since the last time we even kissed. What do you think I should do?

Sincerely,
In love but sexless Click here to read more…

Been talking to this guy named “Sidney” for a couple months. My friend from work put me up on this dating site. I figure hey it can’t be any worse than the losers I have been meeting on the street. Conversation is cool. Seems like we may have a lot in common, so we make plans to meet up. I told him I will drive, (I need to have the control and the freedom to dip out when I want to) Click here to read more…
