The Planet Verge Valentine’s Mix

In search of some mushy make out music?  You’re in luck, because we’re a bunch of saps.  Thank us tomorrow morning when your date’s making you breakfast.

“I Will Follow You Into the Dark” – Death Cab for Cutie
Ben Gibbard pretty much sums up everything I feel about love in that song.

Jess doesn’t want to be approachable

Gentlemen, you’d have so much more luck if you paid more attention to a girl’s book than to her boobs.
If I’m in a corner with my hood up, head down, headphones on, and face buried in this:
Why would you walk up and ask if I have a boyfriend?
And when I say “yes” in hopes of [...]

When No actually means NO!

I suppose in the “big picture” of things, I’m still pretty new to the dating scene.  I’ve always really been focused on my career and having a good time–never really focusing on dating until a few years ago. I mean, I’m still not all into “I need to have a boyfriend of my life is [...]

Why Chicks Dig Douchebags

Or do they?  Most of the lengthy, longwinded debates with my guy friends began with the assumption that girls like guys who act like assholes.  They whined about how unfair it is that ”nice guys finish last” and that girls like to be treated badly.

Don’t Shit Where You Eat – Part 2

It seemed like a harmless flirtation at first.  I had begun working on a campaign with a new creative hot shot who teased me about my obsession with squats.
We worked on an athletic brand, so talk often turned to the gym.  When he found out that squats were part of my morning routine, he ragged [...]

Don’t Shit Where You Eat – Part 1

My sister once gave me a great piece of advice. I knew it was wise when she shared it, but I didn’t follow it. And so, unfortunately, this story has two parts as not only did I neglect to follow her advice once, but I made the same relationship mistake twice. That’s [...]

There’s A Reason He’s Still Single.

In my two and a half months of post long-term relationship single life, I’ve met a lot of men. It’s amazing how many charming, cute and seemingly-eligible bachelors there are out there when you open your eyes and are ready to see them. And it’s so easy to meet them. Just last [...]
