This or That: Whining or Gloating?
You and a friend have made a great duo for the past year while you’ve both been single. It’s been so nice to have someone to commiserate with over all the bad dates and giggle with after the great late nights. While you’re not opposed to finding a guy, you’re actually really happy with the way things have been lately.
Dear Poll: How Do You Feel About Romantic Films?
Whenever I see a romantic comedy, or even a epic romance film, I can't help but feel a little frustrated. Sure, I love to see the main characters end up happily ever after, but let's be realistic, it usually doesn't work out that way! I happen to think movies like When Harry Met Sally give false hope that Mr. Right could be right in front of your face when realistically that's a pretty uncommon scenario.
The Adventures of Debbie Downer
This time, Debbie Downer goes to the happiest place on the planet, Disneyland. Will the magical kingdom have what it takes to turn Debbie's frown upside down? Or will her dry delivery of informational tidbits regarding deadly terrorist attacks, the feline AIDS epidemic, and her own fertility struggles ruin the trip for everyone?

Group Therapy: My Friend's a Debbie Downer
Within the last few months, my best friend has become a serious downer. Her sister and I cannot figure out the cause, and it's getting worse and worse. She can, and has, literally sucked the energy out of the people around her.
Would You Ever Work as a Wingwoman?
We've all heard of wingmen, dudes who agree to talk to the friend of a woman who another dude is interested in. The wingman, for that night anyway, is supposed to be selfless, keeping the other friend occupied so his male friend can swoop in and get his girl.
Taken from military lingo to describe planes that flank fighter planes during serious missions (because, you know, getting the girl is a really serious military mission), I didn't realize you could ask a woman to do the same thing — until I read about an ad on Craigslist (where else?) procuring the services of a wingwoman for $30 an hour.

Onwards and Upwards
Dear Sugar
I am going through a tough break-up from a long term relationship. All my friends are telling me to move on, but I'm still so sad. Now, people are starting to try and set me up on blind-dates.
You Asked: Am I Not Making Myself Available?
Dear Sugar,
I have never been a real commitment person. I have had a couple flings in the past year but nothing serious. I'm ready to open up to a more serious relationship and am actively looking, but I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.
Dear Poll: Are You a Skeptic?
Even if you're not a Debbie Downer per se, being a bit skeptical from time to time can be a good thing. We all know that getting prematurely excited about something can leave you disappointed, but then again, being too cynical can lead to downplaying things that deserve legitimate enthusiasm.
Are you the kind of person who's automatically on the defense about anything from love to career, or is your first instinct to go out on a limb and take a chance, no matter what the circumstance?
