 <title>Good Idea or Bad Idea: Cutting Your Hair After a Breakup</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1874810</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;ve ever gone through a bad breakup, and I&#039;m sure most of you have, then you know change is sometimes the best cure. Since packing your bags and running away from your problems isn&#039;t always possible or practical, a quick fix will usually do the trick. And a change that isn&#039;t too brash but will make a difference is, of course, getting a haircut! According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.glamour.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Glamour&lt;/a&gt; magazine, 31 percent of women polled admitted to chopping their hair after a breakup. While I&#039;ve definitely had the urge to do so myself, luckily my hairdresser has always talked me down off the ledge. Sure, cutting your hair is a great way to let go of the past, and a great way to feel light and refreshed, but tell me, do you think it&#039;s a good idea or a bad idea to make a drastic change to your appearance when you&#039;re in such a fragile state?&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Good Idea or Bad Idea: Becoming More Than Friends With Benefits</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1853631</link>
 <description>&lt;!-- no strip poll --&gt;&lt;!-- no rss --&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;epoll-view-1853631&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;new Ajax.Request(&#039;/epoll/view/1853631&#039;,{method:&#039;get&#039;,onSuccess:function(transport){var epoll=$(&#039;epoll-view-1853631&#039;);epoll.update(transport.responseText);}});&lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;!-- /no rss --&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/32_2008/skd223323sdc.preview.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left image preview&quot; height=&quot;330&quot; width=&quot;330&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We’ve had many discussions about friends with benefits here. Though many of us think &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/578556&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;they’re a recipe for disaster&lt;/a&gt;, I’m sure an equal number of people find themselves in the midst of one right now. Understandably, the opportunity for emotions to grow is certainly a point against such relationships. But what if you &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; emotions to get in the way? Some might say that as soon as you find yourself wanting more, you should hightail it out of your “friendly” situation. But maybe it&#039;s the perfect opportunity for something to develop, especially if both people feel it. What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!-- no strip poll --&gt;&lt;form action=&quot;/1853631&quot;  method=&quot;post&quot; id=&quot;epoll_view_voting&quot;&gt;

 &lt;label class=&quot;option&quot;&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;edit[choice]&quot; value=&quot;0&quot;   class=&quot;form-radio&quot; /&gt; Good Idea — You already know the chemistry is there, so why not give it a shot?&lt;/label&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&gt;
 &lt;label class=&quot;option&quot;&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;edit[choice]&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;   class=&quot;form-radio&quot; /&gt; Other — Please explain.  &lt;/label&gt;
