Tough Question No. 3: When Are You Getting Engaged?

DearSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:30:00 -0800

If you're dating and you have a job, don't think that you're exempt from the line of questioning at Thanksgiving — getting engaged is of course the next one! Some women enjoy just dating their significant other, but if you're actually waiting for a ring yourself, this question could hit a nerve. To see my suggestions on how to answer tough question number three, just

Do You Have a Number One?

DearSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:00:00 -0800

Last night on The Hills, Audrina and Lauren have yet another heart-to-heart about Audrina's relationship with Justin Bobby. Although most of Audtrina's friends are skeptical of their relationship, she continues to defend it by saying she just doesn't have the same chemistry or connection with anyone else. Lauren referred to Justin as Audrina's "number one," and it got me thinking about those guys that will always have your attention, no matter how wrong they might be. Even if you're not with him anymore, tell me, have you ever had a number one?

Ask a Bad Boy: Putting Out on the First Date

DearSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:00:00 -0800

Steve Santagati, the author of The Manual, is back to answer another question for all of you — I hope advice from the male point of view helps! To ask Steve questions of your own, simply submit them here or in the comments section below. Enjoy!

Dear Steve,

This is a debate I've been having with my girl friends for years now and I'd love to hear your take on it. Do guys have a lower opinion of you if you "put out" on the first date? Can a relationship ever come to fruition if there's no longer any sense of mystery? — Wondering Wednesday

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Passed an Ex Off to a Friend?

DearSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

The jury is still out on whether it's OK to date a friend's ex, but sometimes, when you've completely moved past the relationship, it's possible to have enough clarity to see that he just might be better for your friend than he was with you. I could imagine that would be a tough realization, but tell me, have you ever set up one of your ex-boyfriends with a girl friend of yours?Source

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Passed an Ex Off to a Friend?

Yes, and it worked!

Yes, and it blew up in my face. I don't recommend doing it.

No, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable with that.

You Asked: Should I Butt Into Their Relationship?

DearSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:30:00 -0800

Dear Sugar,

There’s a woman that I really like and can't stop thinking about. We’ve been friends for five years; we worked together but I was married at the time. I think she felt the same way. We were always very flirty with each other and she used to say things like “too bad you're married.” We would go out for drinks, lunches, and work parties together because my wife never wanted to come. We kissed once at the Christmas party but as soon as we realized what we did, we promised to never let it happen again.

I moved to another state for my wife’s job but soon after she decided she didn’t love me anymore and we divorced at the beginning of this year. I moved back home and I feel ready to date again. This woman I like is with someone else now and it's pretty serious. We are still very flirty when we're together and I think she knows I want to be more than friends with her. Should I risk wrecking our friendship by telling her, or do I wait to see if the relationship she’s in works out? — Unsure Sean

Puppy Love: Upstaged

PetSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:00:14 -0800

In the latest installment of Puppy Love, the relationship between cute dogs and, well, finding a new relationship is up for debate. While some people use dogs to get digits, others (like one of the stars of this short) think it's "such a lame and expected gimmick." Before telling me how you feel, watch the situation play itself out in the video below.
