The new HBO show “Girls” has created a lot of buzz with its frank dialogue, realistic sex scenes and candid portrayal of male and female dynamics. While some criticize the show’s lack of diversity and others applaud its accurate depiction of young women, it’s hard to argue that there isn’t something both men and women can learn from watching.
The show centers around the lives of four 24-year-old women, detailing...
Nick spent 20 years in the dating scene before marriage. He has always been the guy friends would come to for advice on relationships, and he developed a knack for giving helpful insights. After college, Nick was a disc jockey for a few years, when the love generation was still alive, so Nick has a lot of relevant experience to draw from when it comes to every aspect of dating, falling in love and screwing things up. He holds Bachelor's degree in humanities and a slew of master’s credits in journalism. Nick is a news junkie and tries to keep up on the latest non-fiction when he has time.

Some well-meaning friend has said this to you at some point, usually when you’re suffering through a breakup.
On the other hand, we hate first dates...

We live in a fast-paced world where everything is moving more and more quickly, with people growing more and more impatient. The world seems to be saying, “Hurry up and move it or you’ll get run over!” This is especially true when it comes to sex and intimacy. We are inundated with messages that suggest sex is supposed to be fast and easy and intimacy should come quickly and with little effort.
There are no set...

Back in the day, teenagers used to go to drive-in movie theaters to “park,” which provided the perfect opportunity to engage in a passionate make-out session. Such an encounter included little more than hours and hours of kissing, and if the guy was lucky, a trip to second base.
Generally speaking, drive-ins have almost completely vanished, and it seems the make-out session went with them. Why, I wonder? Making...

There is perhaps no grayer area of relationships than being friends with benefits. It may seem like the best of both worlds — all the fun and none of the commitment — but in reality, it's more often than not the result of compromise and desperation.
