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.

I just came across an interesting article in the New York Times that may be debunking the common assumption that dog is a man's best friend. It seems that more heterosexual men are coming out of the "cat closet," opting for a fluffy, cuddly cat instead of a high maintenance rowdy dog. Sandra DeFeo, an executive director at the Humane Society of New York said that there's been an increase in single men adopting cats and Carole Wilbourn, a cat therapist, said that the number of her straight male clients has risen 25 percent over the past five years.

Some people are born talkers. They could gab on the phone for hours on end and still find more things to discuss. Then there are those who almost pray to get voicemail in hopes of avoiding a live conversation.

As kids it’s nearly impossible to see our parents as anything but our parents, but as we grow older it’s not uncommon to gain a deeper insight into our parents’ lives outside of their parental roles. In the last few years I’ve learned more about my parents as individuals than I did when I lived with them for two decades. And though they’ll always be Mom and Dad, now that I’m an adult and I have a different perspective on parenthood, I’ve really started see them for the people they are.

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.

I’m an observer by nature, but that's not to say I suddenly become shy in a group setting. In fact, I'm happy to be the leader of the pack now and then. Even so, the idea of having all eyes on me does send a shiver down my spine and get my heart racing.

Back when I was in high school, I took a leadership class, and though the subject matter was somewhat indefinable, it may have been one of the more valuable classes I had because it taught me life skills like communication and working with other people. In fact, one assignment still lingers with me today. We were asked to share with our classmates what our first impression of them had been and then fill in the following statement:

It's a fairly common dating affliction; to be turned off when someone shows their interest in you. I suffered from it back in high school, but I know many people who continuously struggle to stay intrigued once they've caught the object of their affection's attention. Of course being pursued feels great, but what I don't think people understand is that the feeling of being desired doesn't necessarily go away because you've made a connection with someone.

A couple months ago you started dating a guy that you met through an online site. He’s kind, intelligent, and funny, and though you haven’t had sex yet, the making out has been great so far. But he doesn’t ever seem like he wants to take it further.

As the old rhyme goes, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage — but as we all know, the progression of a relationship is a lot more involved than that. Of course there are steps one takes before settling down and starting a family, but even if you skip out on living together before getting engaged or opt out of getting a dog before having kids, you can still live happily ever after! So looking back on your relationship, did you and your significant other take baby steps in the right direction, or did you just go with the flow and let your emotions take over?
