DearSugar — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

The holidays are here, and I bet some of you are bringing your significant others home to meet your family for the first time. The thought of introducing a new guy to the family could easily make you feel anxious — especially if you fear he may not measure up to the picture-perfect guy your parents have in mind — so what would happen if you consider him marriage material and your parents don't approve? Ladies, what I want to know is . . .Source

Dear Poll: In Dating, Is Your Parents' Approval Important?

Yes, I want my parents to love the person I'm dating!

No, I'm not concerned with whether my parents approve.

I'm not dating.

Dear Poll: Are You Affectionate in Front of Your Family?

DearSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

Most of you feel that a little PDA goes a long way, but showing some affection toward your significant other is a nice way to communicate your love, at least in my opinion! When you're around family, though, the rules tend to change. Of course it depends on the couple and the family, but in your situation, tell me, are you affectionate with your significant other in front of your family? Source

Dear Poll: Are You Affectionate in Front of Your Family?

Yes, why not!

No, it's just not our thing.

We might exchange a peck here and there, but we never make others feel uncomfortable.

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Experimented With the Back Door?

DearSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

Since sex can be somewhat embarrassing to talk about, I gave you all an opportunity to ask whatever burning questions you had over the weekend, anonymously of course. A lot of you were curious about the booty, and I wasn't all that surprised — anal sex isn't the easiest or most PC topic to discuss! Since it was top of mind for many, I'm curious to know if you've ever experimented with anal sex before, so tell me . . . Source

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Experimented With the Back Door?

Yes and I really enjoyed it.

No way!

I haven't, but I want to try it just to see what all the hype is about!

Dear Poll: Do You Admit When You're Wrong?

DearSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Even if you're not typically stubborn, sometimes admitting when you're wrong can be difficult. This becomes even harder if you were particularly adamant about being right — something I tend to do myself! When I'm wrong though, I'm wrong, and I usually have no problem saying so, but what about you? Do you have a hard time admitting when you're incorrect? Source

Dear Poll: Do You Admit When You're Wrong?

Yes, I loathe being wrong!

No. I'm with you Dear, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.

Dear Poll: Are You Lucky in Love?

Jennifer Aniston sat down with her good friend Oprah yesterday to talk about her December Vogue article, her new movie, and of course, her love life. She went on to squash some of the never-ending rumors, but she also voluntarily stated that she considers herself to be lucky in love, even though it may not look how it's supposed to! Love is multifaceted and while it's easier for some to find than others, I do think there are certain people that just get lucky in that way. Are you one of them? Source

Dear Poll: Are You Lucky in Love?

Yes

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Passed an Ex Off to a Friend?

DearSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

The jury is still out on whether it's OK to date a friend's ex, but sometimes, when you've completely moved past the relationship, it's possible to have enough clarity to see that he just might be better for your friend than he was with you. I could imagine that would be a tough realization, but tell me, have you ever set up one of your ex-boyfriends with a girl friend of yours?Source

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Passed an Ex Off to a Friend?

Yes, and it worked!

Yes, and it blew up in my face. I don't recommend doing it.

No, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable with that.

Dear Poll: Do You Ever Break the Tension With Laughter?

DearSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

Couples fight, it just comes with the territory, but knowing when to call a truce takes a certain sense of humility. I've found that laughter helps to keep things in perspective so tell me, have you ever cracked a joke or started to giggle in order to keep the peace in your relationship? Source

Dear Poll: Do You Ever Break the Tension With Laughter?

Yes. Laughter is the best solution for fighting.

No. When I'm mad at someone, laughing is the last thing I want to do.

Dear Poll: Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?

DearSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

If you've ever thought the notion of love at first sight was only in the movies, I bet you'd be surprised to know that it does happen in real life too. I've never experienced it before — I've experienced lust at first sight — but I've heard people say they knew the moment they laid eyes on their significant other that he was the one! Even if you've yet to feel it, tell me, do you believe in love at first sight? Source

Dear Poll: Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?

Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic and totally believe in love at first sight!

No, I don't think it's possible.

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had a Rivalry With Another Woman?

DearSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Blake Lively dispels the rivalry rumor between her and Leighton Meester in the December issue of W magazine. She blames the media for starting it, but it got me thinking about competitive and contentious relationships between women. It seems like many of us have had a frenemy at one point in our lives, but tell me, have you ever had a full-blown rivalry with someone before? Source

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had a Rivalry With Another Woman?

Yes, I'm in one right now actually.

No, I've never experienced that kind of relationship before.
