dater haters
Here are the five biggest things that can kill a first date, according to this article:
1. Your romantic past
2. Talking about kids
3. Using pet names
4. Lusty story-telling
5. Talking about pets
Any additions? What about talking about politics and/or religion?

FWB
Breaking news...a friends with benefits setup isn't necessarily the epitome of a healthy relationship.
Perhaps guided by a news tip from Captain Obvious, the New York Times devotes an entire article to that idea today.
Can you believe that people actually conducted scientific research to arrive at this conclusion?
"We found that people got into these relationships because they didn't want commitment."
Is there ever anything good about FWB? Aside from the commitment-free hookups?

Looks like Ruben Studdard implanted half of his stomach in Clay Aiken's face. Looking good!(Photo via FilmMagic, available here.)

we need to talk
Tired of decoding acceptable responses to no-win questions? Check out this Girlspeak to English Dictionary. Here's a sampling:
"I'm not upset" means "Of course I'm upset, you moron."
"I'll be ready in a minute" means "Kick off your shoes and find a good game on T.V."
"Do what you want" means "You'll pay for this later."
And...
"We need to talk" means "I need to complain."
"I'm not upset" means "Of course I'm upset, you moron."
"I'll be ready in a minute" means "Kick off your shoes and find a good game on T.V."
"Do what you want" means "You'll pay for this later."
And...
"We need to talk" means "I need to complain."
the monday moan
This week's question is inspired by the interviews I've been doing for an upcoming piece about whether Columbus is a singles-friendly place to live.
Is "The Talk" always required for establishing an exclusive relationship? When, if ever, can a couple assume they're exclusive if they haven't yet had "The Talk"?
Discuss. Now.

food for thought
One of my biggest pet peeves is when somebody gets a salad, douses it in ranch dressing and fried chicken...and then claims they're being healthy.
Finally, there's some research to back up my frustration.
Many people who eat at Subway grossly underestimate the number of calories they're consuming, according to this article. This leads people not only to eat without guilt, but also to eat more food later in the day because they think they're entitled to it.
An example? A McDonald's Big Mac had about 600 calories at the time of the study, while a fully-loaded 12-in Italian sub from Subway had 900.
I'm lovin' it!
