Do relationships need to start well to pursue into a strong relationship? One of my friends says that if it’s doomed from the start, there’s no chance it can turn into a great one after. But what is doomed, and what should we consider as a bad start?
R., 34, told me her relationship with her [...]

Is it really possible to have a sustainable relationship with someone who’s not from the same background than we? I remember once a TV documentary about a woman who met her rich husband in a club, and who described her life as a fairy tale with her playing the role of Cinderella. She came from [...]

Do we need necessarily a relationship to feel alive? Some people would answer negatively to this question. But others would reply yes. I guess it depends on how we consider the others’ attention. People who need everyone’s attention would probably say no to this question. People who need their lover or family’s attention would probably [...]

One of my friends called me last night to tell me about her tumultuous love life and how she got into trouble with a guy she’s seeing right now. She came to me because she said I won’t judge what she did. She told me she got back with her ex, a man everyone in [...]

I had a lunch yesterday with, for once, all the female journalists of my newsroom. It’s quite unusual for us, because we’re always busy in the year and often outside the building for a press trip or a conference/ interview. Most of us have one common point: we all went to the [...]

Recently, I had a conversation with one of my friends who’s madly in love with a man but isn’t dating him, because they can’t get closer. “I have  tons of brakes that keep me from rushing in and telling him how I feel. I’m afraid it won’t work. I’m afraid we [...]

Apparently, the contraceptive pill isn’t good for us, women, because it makes us choose the wrong partner, and this can lead to infertility. According to a scientist from Liverpool, we tend to choose instinctively our partner with a different genetic make-up, but with the contraceptive pill, our ability to do so is simply disrupted. Worse, [...]

It’s amazing what you can find on eBay. Take for example this bid. The woman who posted this finally sold only the picture of the crime, because you can’t sell used panties and condoms on this site.
What I particularly like about this ad is that, in the end of the cracking description, she mentioned that [...]

When I was in high school, I remember some of my fellow female classmates carried around a reputation of being a naughty girl. Why? Some of them have dated and slept with most of our male classmates, and they gained rapidly their reputation for being easy. Once, I went to a party with one of [...]

Recently, I was discussing with my sis about nothing and everything, and we ended up talking about people who don’t have a social life. A recent incident with B. reminded me that he also falls into this sad category. My boss, who has known him for years, told me that he probably lost his mind, [...]
