Do Tell: When You Get Sad, What Do You Do?
There have been many periods in my life when I’ve felt frustrated with my friends and family, but for every occasion that I’m annoyed, there are a hundred more when having them in my life has proven invaluable. Whenever I’m sad or worried, I always reach out to them, and even if they can’t solve my problem, it helps to know someone cares. But some people are not apt to do the same.
Do Tell: Do You Look Forward to Your Alone Time?
Alone time is incredibly valuable, especially if you tend to be an introvert; it gives you time to process your thoughts and get back in touch with yourself as an individual. But once you’re in a relationship, alone time can get lost in the shuffle of a busy schedule. In fact, if you live with someone, finding alone time can feel nearly impossible.
A Do or a Don't: Solo Vacation
I like alone time, but the idea of going on a vacation by myself, even for a weekend, kind of scares me. So when a friend recently told me that she was planning a solo trip to France, I thought she was kidding. Imagining someone traveling alone just for the sake of being alone seemed incomprehensible.
The How-To Lounge: Enjoying a Saturday Night Alone
Since being alone can be scary for some people, and because even the most social person can end up spending a Saturday night alone every now and then, I’ve come up with a few ideas on how to enjoy such an evening by yourself. To embrace your solo side, just read more
Dear Poll: Are You Scared of Being Alone?
These days, if a woman admits to being sad about her single status or reveals that she's scared she might end up alone, she's suddenly considered needy or unempowered. Though we may not be rushing out to alert our friends of these thoughts for fear of judgment, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with feeling a tinge of trepidation at the thought of being alone — it's totally normal for both genders to want companionship! So without worries of being labeled as something you're not, answer this: Are you scared of being alone?
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Gone to a Movie Alone?
I'm a big promoter of doing things alone, mostly because I don't like missing out on things just because I have no one to do them with. While I haven't braved going out to a sit-down restaurant alone, I have gone to a movie theater multiple times by myself, and found the experience weird only because it wasn't uncomfortable. Going solo is great because I didn't have to feel guilty about dragging someone to a movie they didn't want to see.
You Asked: Do I Love Him or Not?
Dear Sugar--
I dated a guy all throughout college, we were definitely in love and things were great. When we graduated, it became increasingly harder to make things work -- mostly on my end. I wanted to do things that I had planned for years, like travel.

Should You Live Alone Before Getting Married?
After college, I was lucky enough to find a reasonable 1-bedroom apartment that I could rent on my own. It was so great to come home and not have to deal with anyone nagging me about my dirty dishes or my wet towel on the carpet. I could take a shower when I wanted to, play music as loud as I pleased, and go to bed when I felt like it.
Do Tell: How Do You Feel About Eating Alone?
Whenever I see people eating dinner alone at a restaurant, without the distractions of a computer or television, I have to say I get a little sad for them. I know they could be eating by themselves because they want to, but they just look so lonely! I've always considered going out to dinner to be more of a fun, social event rather than just a way to satisfy your hunger but ladies, do tell, how do you feel about eating alone?
Dear Poll: Are You Craving More Alone Time?
I don't know about you, but getting a night to myself these days is getting harder and harder. While I love attending holiday parties, I need some alone time every once in a while to recharge my battery and get my beauty sleep. Some people I know, though, look forward to having every night booked up throughout the month of December.
