I’ve been hanging out with Johnny a lot lately. And I’ve told him about Zack and he smiles and replies, “That doesn’t matter, baby. It’s not like you’re going to kiss me, right?” And the thing is, I almost want to (and I know that makes me a terrible person). Johnny is everything that Zack is not—passionate, daring, complicated, intriguing and would...
Passion vs. Compatibility Part 2
So Zack and I are great. Just great. Things are easy and fun. He’s kind, affectionate, responsible and giving—everything that I could want in a guy. He helped me pay for groceries. He’s taken care of me when I’m sick. He’s offered to buy me presents. He’s great. Then why do I feel like something’s missing?
There’s no spark in this relationship. I...

Compatibility versus Passion
I will begin by saying, Zack and I have started dating.
Yesterday, at the grocery store, he turned to me and asked, “Are we dating?”
I shrugged, “I dunno. Do you want to date me?”
He shrugged, “Sure.” There was a pause. “I guess we’re dating.”
“I guess we are.”
Not romantic. At all.
But the good thing about Josh and myself is...

Drop the Bomb
Robbie has started to called again except the conversations are dry, terse and short. It’s like he swoops in with a bomb and then leaves the scene of the crime. Last night’s conversation was this, exactly.
Robbie in a sexy growl, “Hey there.”
“Hi.”
“I’m actually heading to bed. Just wanted to say hello! Night!” Click.
I have no idea what to...

Kissy Fishy
Last night Zack and I sat on the couch and we kissed. There was no build up, no antipaction or tingling—it was just a kiss. I think we kissed not because we are attracted to each other—but out of curiosity. He’s a very playful kisser, which is nice but I want deep kisses that seem to steal my soul. I’m just hoping that this doesn’t change our friendship. Because I...

Cuddlefest
Zack came over yesterday to watch a movie (The Science of Sleep) with me. While we we watching the movie, he rested his head on my shoulder and held my hand. Now, like most people, I enjoy a good cuddle—even a friendship cuddle! But somehow, I felt strange; mostly because he dated my friend Mel a month ago. I kept on thinking, is this breaking some sort of girl code? And the other thing, his...
First Kiss
It’s been one year—this month—since I kissed my first guy. Somehow, that makes me feel really old. In that one year, I kissed four guys—some were good and others were horrible (my first boyfriend was particularly awful).
I remember my first real kiss well. It wasn’t my official first kiss but I don’t count the one with my friend, Katie, in the first grade....
Break-up Films: Best and Worst
Recently three of my guys friends (Johnny, Robbie and Zack) went through a break-up. And there’s only so much you can do for someone mending a broken heart…listening to them, being there, hugging, etc. But also watching movies helps too…especially when there’s nothing you can really say to make it all better.

Three Conversations
Lately, I’ve been talking to many of my guy friends—all of them except Robbie. I began my day, talking with Ben. We’ve been using Skype because it’s cheaper and we get to vidchat which is the closest thing to face-to-face, really. He asked what I wanted to do after I graduated. “I dunno,” I shrugged, “Move to Disneyworld and be a princess.”

My Girls
I don’t just have guy friends. There are girls out there I turn to for advice—for example, if I want to know what outfit to wear to knock a guy dead (And even though I don’t consider myself to be a girly-girl, there’s something about looking good in front of your crush that makes you feel glamorous). These girls are:
