Where Do You Stand? We-Mail
I'm sure you've all heard of we-mail by now, but if you're unfamiliar with the term, it's simply a shared email address couples use in lieu of individual ones. While the idea is kind of cute, it makes it almost impossible to have a confidential conversation with someone besides your significant other. Sure, it's great for making plans, paying bills, and coordinating work events, but I'd take privacy over convenience any day of the week.
WTF?!
It's like MySpace: AT&T wants to look popular, so they maintain a long email list of "friends," whom they never correspond with. It's so tenth grade.

Group Therapy: I hit reply instead of forward!!!!!
I was casually seeing a guy for about 2 months when things went south. Nothing happened per se, we just became more and more distant although we still keep in touch, occasional text messages and e-mails. The other day, I received an e-mail from him playing his same old game, being vague while stringing me along.How To Hit On Someone Via E-mail
So you met that special someone at a bar the other night and wish to send an electronic word of hello. But what to say? Whether you're a guy or gal, you second guess yourself in matters of the heart and for good reason-- although it's important to know what to say in this kind of e-mail, it's more important to know what NOT to say.
