Dateless New Year’s Eve

December 30th, 2008, 10:09 pm by Tara

Single and don’t have a date for New Year’s. Don’t get depressed or bummed out. HAVE A BLAST WITHOUT A DATE! Julia Bourland, author of The Go-Girl Guide suggests the following ways to enjoy the evening.

1. Choose the right group to celebrate with. Don’t hang with those who act really exclusive with their significant other. BORING.

2. Plan your own get together whether it’s drinks at your place or a mellow movie night. Forgo the usual festivities and enjoy the evening with true friends.

3. If you want to party hard, attend more than one bash. You won’t be stuck should one gathering turn out to be a dud for unattached chicks. And who knows…you may meet a new guy!

4. Decide ahead of time what you’ll do when the ball drops and couples start kissing. Call or text your best friend or sister who is celebrating elsewhere or uncork a bottle of a champagne at the end of the countdown. Whatever you do…have a blast!

IF YOU DRINK…DRINK RESPONSIBLY

Too clingy or what?

December 9th, 2008, 2:36 pm by Tara

When you text your boyfriend ‘I Love You,” and he text back “Cool,” how are you suppose to feel? Does this mean I’m being too clingy or does this mean that he does not show affection enough?

Clingy no. It’s a loving move on your part. Some guys have a hard time expressing their love to their lady. Maybe your guy thinks it’s too mushy for him to respond with a like message. Maybe he had friends or co-workers around him. He may not be the type of person that displays affection in public. Maybe he didn’t want to be teased or ridiculed by his friends. Does he show affection in other ways? If so, move on…don’t sweat the small stuff.

Showing love in public

December 8th, 2008, 9:51 pm by Tara

I’m a very affectionate person. My boyfriend gets embarrassed by my touchy-feely ways in public. He comes from a family where they don’t even hug. Do you have any suggestions on how I can show him some love in public, without embarassing him? - Christina, Brownsville

I’m a lot like you…I love being affectionate in private and in public. Try some of these sweet subtle moves. When hanging with a group of friends or just the two of you, gently play with his hair or scratch the back of his head. This makes him feel very relaxed and comfortable. Try rubbing his back when you’re standing or walking, softly moving up and down the spine. Give him a quick kiss on the cheek. It’s happens so fast that he won’t have time to be embarassed. Place your hand on his arm when he’s talking.

Tina needs more ideas…share your moves, whether they worked or not. Comment at the end of this posting.

Where to spend the holiday

November 26th, 2008, 10:51 pm by Tara

My girlfriend and I have been arguing all week about where we will spend Thanksgiving. My mother believes that we should spend holidays with my family. My girlfriend would rather spend holidays with her family. This really creates a big problem in our relationship. What do most couples do? - Brad

Brad you don’t mention where the families live. Assuming they live in the same town, make a point to visit both families on Thanksgiving Day. Both mothers need to be less selfish and more understanding. If one family lives away, then most couples rotate holidays. For instance, this Thanksgiving will be with your family, Christmas with hers. Then the following year it reverses to Thanksgiving with her family and Christmas with yours. This issue becomes more compounded when you marry and when you have children. If you plan to marry this lady, you may want to settle this issue now…before it becomes a much bigger problem later.

Hot & Flirtatious

November 22nd, 2008, 6:03 pm by Tara

My friend and I were at a local club catching up on everything over a glass of wine. This handsome guy came to our table. He was so HOT. We engaged in a brief but flirtatious conversation and exchanged numbers. It’s been over one week and he hasn’t even called. I want to call him but I’m afraid to be rejected. I searched myspace and facebook…but no luck. He’s all I think about! What should I do? — Liz, still waiting in McAllen

Liz, I think you should call or text him. What have you got to lose? Maybe he’s lost your number. Maybe he’s not really interested. Better to know how he feels now than waiting precious time hoping he will call you. Do it today!

Love Bytes readers…Should Liz call him or just chalk it up to a night at the club and then move on? What would you do?

Who’s pays

November 19th, 2008, 7:11 pm by Tara

It’s ackward but I bet we’ve all been there. Who should pay the check when you go out with a friend? Should we split the total bill or each pay separately? Sometimes it’s really ackward…especially when it’s a guy friend. What do you do?

Fed up with “friend” mode

November 19th, 2008, 7:02 pm by Tara

Fed up writes that she always seems to get stuck in the “friend” mode. She has no problem meeting guys, talking to guys or becoming the guy’s best friend. But who wants that all the time. She just met a super cute and nice guy and is having trouble getting past the “friend” thing. They’ve gone out several times but nothing happens. Talk about frustration…always the friend and never the good stuff. What should she do? How do you get out of the “friend” mode?
