The Challenges of Blending Families in a New Relationship
Description
Is He Assertive or Just Angry?
Why I’m Done Playing by Traditional Dating Rules
Modern Romance: The New Dating Rules
Can You Spot the Four Types of Men Out There?
What to Do When a Friendship Becomes Toxic
How to Take Advantage of Being Single
He Acted Like He Was Still Single
Following My Dream Nearly Cost Me My Marriage
But despite the steady stream of calm and inner peace I feel, I still combat nagging self-doubt in moments of weakness. Seeing the objectively hot women that Gym Guy hooks-up with and listening to comments from readers hammering home the fact that he’s gorgeous – possibly too gorgeous for the likes of me – totally slapped me over the head with some much-needed reality.
So, now that the flame of my crush has been snuffed out, I’m a little sad. But – and this is the best part – I’m not sad enough that I head to that place in my mind where I beat myself up. Eh, it was fun while it lasted. Next.
That’s the old me, the woman who took things on the chin and rebounded quickly. I remember her.
I’ve missed her.
This is the one last area where we can finally feel special, feminine, and taken care of. Today, guys hardly have to put in any effort to date a girl: a simple poke on facebook, a text, etc. The least you can do is reaffirm that yes, you give a shit, and for a guy – the best way to do that is to pay for the meal. If you can’t afford a fancy dinner, take us to the local mexican place you love. It’s NOT about the money – it’s about making us feel like you care and are excited to date us.
(p.s. good to know you like it when we go for our wallet, i usually do – and am pleased if he says he is covering it.)

Bwhahahah, warcraft. Love it. Thanks Lex and excellent point about the other many double standards out there and that we would much prefer a $5 burrito that is paid for us than a fancy dinner you can’t afford. Thanks for the comment!
