A Do or a Don't: Staying in Touch With a Friend's Ex
While I’m always open and friendly, I try not to buddy up to my friends’ significant others — I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or get too involved in someone else’s relationship. But over time, especially if it’s a long-term and serious relationship, it’s inevitable for a kinship to blossom between yourself and a friend’s significant other — you spend time together, swap stories, and end up at the same events.
But when a friend tells you that the relationship is over, suddenly a person you came to know, surprisingly well, is just gone.
Dear Poll: Can You Just Pick Up Right Where You Left Off?
All friendships are different, but the ones that you can just pick up right where you left off are sometimes the best kind, even though they can be hard to come by. The older we get, the less time we have to stay in touch, even with those overly sensitive friends who require a little more TLC. I admit that I prefer regular touch-bases with my friends, but I have grown to appreciate the ease of having friendships with people who don't take offense if we go a week, a month, or even months on end without talking.
Dear Poll: Do you Use your Work E-Mail to Engage in Less than Professional Banter?
These days, working professionals are spending more time behind their desks than with their loved ones. With that said, communicating with the opposite sex over the internet is the easiest way to date, make plans, get caught up, and even simply flirt. I think we can all agree that it makes your day fly by when you carry on some fun, playful banter with your new crush -- but what about engaging in unprofessional conversations over your work e-mail?
