If you tuned into
The Hills last night, you saw Heidi's sheepish attempt to make amends with Lauren. And even though Lauren has admitted to missing her ex BFF, it didn't seem like becoming friends again was high on her priority list, especially if Spencer remains in the picture. Since their relationship has been on the rocks — to say the least — for the past two years, Heidi got to fear that too much damage has been done to reconcile.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're fully aware of our current
economic crisis. And while professionals are telling us not to panic, chances are most of you are cutting back on your spending. But saving money and scaling down your date nights doesn't mean you can't have fun; you just might have to think outside the box!

As I told you last week,
Maxim magazine has asked me to help get you to take their sex and relationship survey in an effort to help their male readers understand us women a little better. You had quite a lot to say about
how long you wait before sleeping with a guy you just met, so weigh in on another question here before
taking their survey!
Men aren't mind readers, so now's your chance to let them in on what you really expect when it comes to chivalry.

About a year ago you ended your engagement to your fiance, who you had been with since high school. You tried to make it work, but in the end, too much had happened that you guys couldn’t repair. Now, six months later, you’ve met someone who you feel strongly about.

Dear Sugar,
I know most people write in and ask if they should move to be with their boyfriends; well I did, but now I'm having second thoughts. I lived in Indiana and moved to Arizona to be with my boyfriend. We were together a year long-distance before I moved.

I'm sure most of you were glued to the TV last night watching the
vice-presidential debate, and regardless of your political stance, I bet you had quite a bit to say throughout their heated discussion. Now as we all know, topics like politics, race, and religion are usually avoided in certain situations, but what happens when you don't see eye to eye with your significant other on important matters like war, the economy, women's rights, or where our country is headed? Can you agree to disagree?

I can't decide if
SideTaker is cruel and petty or brilliant and practical, but I'll give it this: It's freaking entertaining.
On SideTaker, couples come in and write their two sides of a fight and why they think they're right.
In place of a good old standoff at home or a session on the couch at couples' therapy, the anonymous users of SideTaker vote for who's right and leave comments supporting the side they're on.

I came across an article on
AskMen.com all about women's childlike behaviors and the role they play in their relationships. Now this article isn't talking about women who still sleep with their blankie, they are referring to women who use daddy's-little-girl antics to get what they want from their significant others. While I don't necessarily agree with the angle they took, I do believe that we all bring some tricks that worked for us as kids into our adult relationships.

DearSugar and Confused Casey need your help. She doesn't know if she should take her friendship to the next level with her best guy friend. All their buddies say they should, but she doesn't feel the spark.

Dear Sugar,
I am 29 years old and in love with a guy who is in love with me. We met several months ago, but just a couple of weeks ago he moved thousands of miles away for a job — our relationship wasn't established enough for him to stay here with me over the job, or for me to quit my job and leave everything behind to move with him. We decided to stay committed since we love each other so much, but I feel so sad that he's gone.
