Labels
I've gotten in a few different debates about "labeling" relationships. I've met plenty of guys (and it seems to always be guys, not girls) that think it's unnecessary and even stupid to label a relationship "a relationsh… -
Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend?
A friend of mine is going to propose to his girlfriend soon and we were talking about the whole engagement ring concept. If you don't know, the concept of the diamond engagement ring was actually a genius marketing plan … -
Ladies, Let's Talk - A Rebuttle
This entry is in response to this entry. I agree that women don't seem to realize how valuable we are, but I don't think this is 100% our fault. We are still often told by society that we aren't as valuable as men. We st… -
A Shiksa's Lament
I'm going to be blatantly honest here: I have a thing for Jewish guys. Maybe it's because I'm in New York and surrounded by them - my best friend is an orthodox Jew, I work with all Jewish men and I went to NYU (jokingly… -
Making it official
I've always found it hard to tell when the dating ends and the relationship begins - meaning when does dating become exclusive and how do you know? Usually, I resolve this by just having a talk. The guy asks me to be his… -
Matchmaker Matchmaker
When I was younger (circa 8th-10th grade) I used to love playing matchmaker. I don't know why. I guess I just wanted my friends to be happy but I wish I had learned earlier to keep my big fat nose out of it. It never wor… -
Ditching Friends
I hate it when two people get together and then suddenly you don't see either of them anymore. This seemed to happen a lot in college in particular - couples would get together, they'd basically move in together right aw… -
Blogging about relationships
Obviously, I blog about my relationships. That's why I'm here on datingish. And most of you who are here on datingish probably blog about your relationships too. That's even why I have basically left my old Xanga account… -
Pet Names
While I consider myself a very romantic person, I've never been much of one for pet names. Most of the time, they just sound unnatural to me - baby, pookie, honeybear... *gags* The only ones that tend to sound natural to… -
The Mennonite - Wrapping Up
Feeling uninspired again today so I'm going to go back to a story I started a while back and wrap it up. If you need a recap: The Mennonite - Part 1, 1.5, 2 So despite all of our romantic sweet little things, things be… -
Giving Up On Love
Yesterday, my best friend (aka my twin, even though we're not biologically twins) sent me an email that broke my heart a little. She recently has been going through a bad breakup (from a really unhealthy relationship) an… -
Student/Teacher Relationships
Mr. Lion’s post about his friend who was in love with her professor yesterday inspired my topic for today – teacher/student relationships and what is taking it too far? In college, I had a professor that everyone (inclu… -
Celebrity Relationships
Seems like there's been a lot of talk about celebrities here on Datingish, and in light of my own recent star-studded experience at the New York Film Festival, I thought I would write a little today about celebrity relat… -
Commercials are so much better in Europe...
These are two of the best commercials/public service announcements I've seen in a long long time: If only we were bold enough to make this kind of stuff here in the US. -
Sex Drive
I read this article on CNN a while back about various therapies women with low sex drives are trying. This article made me happy because it often seems to like society doesn't care about women's sex drive and that societ… -
Romance advice from TV Shows
I watch a fair amount of TV (though I work in the industry so I tell myself it's excusable... It's research!). I'm very excited that new seasons are starting right now, and I find actually that TV can be very helpful to … -
Lights On? Lights Off?
In my rather limited experience, I have to say that more often than not, if I'm fooling around with someone, the guy is more likely to prefer the lights on. As a girl, I am not always 100% comfortable with my body image …
