Long Distance Dating

young woman twirlingBe cool. Ironically, being hot means being cool! There are many different ways to describe someone's appeal: beautiful, gorgeous, cute, pretty, handsome, and of course, hot.

red head girl with crush on zebra printEver find yourself thinking about that special someone... and then realizing it's a terrible idea? Maybe she's just too young or maybe he's your subordinate at work. Whatever the reason, having a crush on someone is not the problem.

You seek attention, the person gets spooked and pushes you away, you feel worse about yourself, and you're even needier the next time around. But if you want to change, you can! »

Money and Dating

Couples & Money book cover

To hear Mary Jo and Steve tell it, their first date began like one of those syrupy romance novels. MJ had coaxed Steve into eating at Chez Renee, an upscale Art Nouveau eatery famous for its cuisine, elegance, and prices.

“There she was, positively beaming in this white silk dress,” said Steve.  “The food was incredible.  We had two bottles of Merlot and were feeling no pain at all.  There was a lot of chemistry going on.” »
