Still Dating? Read This.
by Liz Rizzo

Well, I'm going to have to get out there and do some sort of dating something at some point. Sigh.

On one hand, it's still difficult to imagine. On the other hand, while I was living in denial, four sexless weeks went by. Sigh.

Honestly, I still don't know quite where I am or what I want next. But I liked MaryanneLive's Five Male Myths:

Here are what I consider to be the top five male mating myths:

1. All the good ones are taken

2. A man’s penis has a mind of its own

3. All men only want one thing

4. Men are dogs

5. Good guys are boring

You know, I love this post because there is just so much BS out there about men and women. I don't think it's doing us any favors. We're people, first and foremost, and all these stereotypes are just holding us back. Approach the people in your life as individuals, that's my advice, and use your words to find out who they are and what they want. If you think anything's true of "men" and "women," you're going to find yourself surprised someday.

While the traditions of Thanksgiving now center on eating a big dinner and making turkey pictures out of hand prints, this holiday was once actually all about sharing skills and giving thanks for the good things. Obviously they were talking about sex. Okay, fine, it was all about the harvest, but really, I like to think it was all about hot puritan sex. Show me your ankles, you dirty thing. So in the spirit of the stuffing and gravy, here are a few tips to make some bedroom tradition of your own!

Honestly, I haven't even taken stock of my condom situation. But it has occurred to me that I should. At some point.

And finally, just for some good old-fashioned yes-Virginia-there-is-true-love, check out annemax' post, How to Marry an Internet Serial Killer: Throw a Surprise Wedding:

As we usually host Thanksgiving, the plan was to get married the next afternoon. A justice of the peace was found who would come to our country house and perform the ceremony. We told everyone he was an architect coming to look at the house, and he was great about playing along.

You know, at this point, I almost feel like I wish I could get cynical and negative and truly believe that love is a crock, but who am I kidding? It may never really knock on my door, but I know that it's real.
