A few weeks ago, I asked you, the reader, to share with me some of your dating/relationship horror stories. It only seemed fair that I get to read your war stories, since so many people get to snicker at my dating life every week. A few brave souls answered the call, and I picked out a couple tha...

After some convincing and a lot of eye-rolling, Kevin agreed to be my wingman -- an... Read more
