 <title>What Was Your Favorite Breakup Song of &#039;08?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2554935</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Music can be an incredibly powerful tool. Whether you&#039;re looking to &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2094975&quot; &gt;sing out loud&lt;/a&gt; and vent your frustration on a bad day or set &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1859783&quot; &gt;the mood&lt;/a&gt; for romance, certain songs have the ability to set that tone; whatever the situation might be. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know what your favorite &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1084885&quot; &gt;sad song&lt;/a&gt; is, but since new hits come out weekly, do tell, what was your favorite breakup song of 2008?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have You Ever Had a Blind Date Go Bad?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2534819</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Blind dates can be really fun if you get set up by someone who knows you really well (dating your mailman&#039;s son may not be the best idea), but I know people who refuse because they&#039;ve had horrible experiences in the past. Maybe the guy was texting his ex-girlfriend while watching a movie with you, or perhaps he kept reaching over to your plate at dinner to help himself to your meal. To see a blind date start off on the wrong foot, watch this comical clip below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;	&lt;div style=&#039;width:455px&#039; id=&quot;spi_tabs_container&quot;&gt;
	   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_top&quot;&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_topL&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_topR&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;div class=&quot;panel  chatter_chatter fbceleb &quot; &gt;
			   &lt;center&gt;	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/static/js/swfobject.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
	&lt;p style=margin:0px;padding:0px id=&quot;player_2540344&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;Get Flash&lt;/a&gt; to see this player.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
	var so2540344 = new SWFObject(&#039;/static/flash/mediaplayer.swf&#039;,&#039;mpl&#039;,&#039;400&#039;,&#039;300&#039;,&#039;7&#039;);
	so2540344.addParam(&#039;allowfullscreen&#039;,&#039;true&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&quot;file&quot;,&#039;2540344.flv&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;height&#039;, 328);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;image&#039;,&#039;/media/cooked/thumbs/2540344.jpg&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;width&#039;,&#039;400&#039;);
	so2540344.addVariable(&#039;logo&#039;,&#039;/static/imgs/watermark/dearsugar.png&#039;);
	so2540344.write(&#039;player_2540344&#039;);
	&lt;/script&gt;		   &lt;/center&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_bot&quot;&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_botL&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		   &lt;div id=&quot;spi_tabs_botR&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	   &lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess the only thing worse than a blind date is an unexpected double blind date — Ha! Is your story worse than that? It may make you feel better to share it the comment section below. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Important Is Sex to You in a Relationship?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2506092</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/47_2008/588ca043eccd7b36_sex.xlarger.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;center image xlarger&quot; height=&quot;296&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When in a relationship, some people adore &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/tags/Sex&quot; &gt;sex&lt;/a&gt;. They think about it often, have it a lot, and are into trying new &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1812777&quot; &gt;toys&lt;/a&gt;, positions, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1716562&quot; &gt;places&lt;/a&gt; to make it better. Then there are other people in relationships who aren&#039;t that interested in getting it on. They rarely crave that kind of intimacy, and could have sex once a month (or less) and feel completely satisfied. So where do you fall in the spectrum? Is sex really important to you when you&#039;re in a relationship, or are there other ways you two prefer to celebrate your connection?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: When Do You Know You&#039;re in Love? </title>

Love can also be tricky though. I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;ve definitely &lt;i&gt;thought&lt;/i&gt; I was in love before, only to realize later down the road that it wasn&#039;t love at all! Since finding it doesn&#039;t happen all that often, do tell, when do you &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; you&#039;re in love? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Embarrassing Sex Questions Do You Want Answered? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2499495</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/46_2008/14b1a9f3397b3a83_martini.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left outline image xlarge&quot; width=&quot;313&quot; height=&quot;313&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As we all know, sex can be an awkward topic to discuss, not only with our friends, but with our partners too. I&#039;ll even admit to being embarrassed when asking my doctor questions about sex! Though it might make you blush, getting the answers is extremely important — you never know what you might be missing! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;re like me and my girlfriends, sex almost always comes up in conversation, especially when a martini&#039;s involved, but sometimes we&#039;re still too bashful to ask what&#039;s really on our minds. If you&#039;re the same way, tell me ladies, what are the embarrassing sex questions you want answers to?&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Did You Meet Your Significant Other? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2494033</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Most of you have &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2365448&quot; &gt;been in at least one relationship before&lt;/a&gt;, which means you have a story that explains how you met! I always enjoy hearing how it all began — not only does it give me faith that it can happen to me too, but it gives a lot of insight into the couple and the individuals. Whether it was &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2481742&quot; &gt;love at first sight&lt;/a&gt; or just a total fluke, do tell, how did you meet your significant other?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/46_2008/e7657fa8fcea5856_dating.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image xxlarge&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;333&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Whether we&#039;re talking about looks, personality, or just great sex, chances are you&#039;ll never forget his name! Just for fun, do tell, what&#039;s the name of the hottest guy you&#039;ve ever dated? I&#039;ll start: Jason.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Do You Recover From a Wild Night Out?</title>

Going all out can make Saturday morning lack its usual prestige, especially when you’re too tired to even enjoy it. Some of us have to take a rest day, while others hit the gym or another bar! Everyone is different, so do tell, how do you recover from a wild night out? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Will You Splurge This Weekend? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2471443</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t know about you, but I happen to think the weekends are for breaking the rules. Whether it&#039;s splurging on an extra piece of pizza or sleeping till noon, I let myself indulge — hey, it&#039;s only two days, right? To all of you who are still planning your weekends, do tell, what rules do you plan on breaking? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/45_2008/40e96ed94144840e_weekend.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image xlarger&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;266&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What&#039;s Your Definition of Perfect on Paper?</title>

While that description might sound good to some, it&#039;s far from perfection to others. So ladies, once you&#039;ve decided he&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2393996&quot; &gt;boyfriend material&lt;/a&gt;, do tell, what&#039;s &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; definition of a guy that&#039;s perfect on paper? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Can You Tell If a Guy Is Boyfriend Material?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2393996</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/44_2008/896c1048df99a26e_hug.xlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left image xlarge&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;287&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I&#039;ve been in the dating world for quite some time and although it&#039;s fun to get to know new people, I&#039;m more interested in finding a special someone. There are definitely some weirdos out there, but I can usually tell within a few hours of meeting a guy whether or not he&#039;s boyfriend material. If the conversation flows easily, if he shows he cares by listening when I talk, if there&#039;s good chemistry and if he can make me laugh, I&#039;m inclined to think there&#039;s potential there! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what about you? What qualities do you look for in a guy when figuring out if he&#039;s boyfriend material?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Does Your Mother Ever Drive You Nuts?</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/44_2008/b39b54450077530b_mother-and-daughter.xlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left outline image xlarge&quot; width=&quot;265&quot; height=&quot;320&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;How many times do you hear someone say that her mom drives her nuts? I hear it all the time, and truth be told, I&#039;ve said it my fair share of times too. Now don&#039;t get me wrong, I love my mom; I&#039;m very fortunate to have the relationship I do with her, but sometimes her over-protective nature and smothering affection can be a little too much. And even though she&#039;s always there for me — whether it&#039;s to &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2380709&quot; &gt;give advice&lt;/a&gt; or offer a listening ear — do tell, does your mom ever just drive &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; nuts? And if so, what is it specifically that gets on your nerves? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do You Have Any Weekend Admissions? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2419762</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Our weekends are incredibly sacred. Not only do they allow us a much-needed break from the grind, but they also give us an excuse to let down our hair and just have fun. And if you&#039;re one of the wild and crazy ones that likes to &lt;i&gt;really let loose&lt;/i&gt;, Monday mornings could in turn be a day of repentance! So ladies, if you have anything you&#039;d like to get off your chest, now&#039;s your chance! Do tell, what are your weekend confessions? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And don&#039;t forget to submit your questions or confessions for me to answer &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/contact/ask&quot; &gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/43_2008/7439d6f11aa8a779_guilty.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image xxlarge&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;332&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have a Friend&#039;s Actions Ever Made You See Them Differently? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2412169</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/43_2008/c6e37addb09212d1_Woman-Upset.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left image xxlarge&quot; height=&quot;451&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Just because you know someone really well, doesn’t mean that they can’t surprise you from time to time — in fact, many would say a little mystery in a relationship is a good thing! But what happens when what they surprise you with isn’t so great? If what they do is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2376760&quot; &gt;disappointment&lt;/a&gt;, or worse, a betrayal, I wonder if it’s possible to see the person in the same light again. Just as we can’t forget the good memories, it can be difficult to erase the bad ones too. So ladies, please share your experiences. Do tell: Have a friend’s actions or behavior ever made you suddenly think differently of them? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do STI Rates Make You Reconsider One Night Stands?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2411354</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/43_2008/cbd74af34be65276_sex.xlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right outline image xlarge&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; height=&quot;320&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Although most of you say you&#039;ve &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/529569&quot; &gt;never had a one night stand&lt;/a&gt;, 48 percent of you admitted to doing it at least once. Sure, one night stands have a negative stigma attached to them, but if you&#039;re safe and smart about it, I say to each her own. But as we all know, STIs are &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1697156&quot; &gt;on the rise&lt;/a&gt; and condoms won&#039;t necessarily protect you 100 percent. So knowing what you know, and realizing that getting tested is the only way to know for sure if someone is clean, tell me, do you still have or consider having one night stands? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Does Hormonal Birth Control Affect Your Mood?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2397708</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/43_2008/9b06a3a4d3a19788_Woman-Moody.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image xlarge&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; width=&quot;315&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Though I do think hormonal birth control options, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1115464&quot; &gt;the pill&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1614851&quot; &gt;Nuvaring&lt;/a&gt;, are great methods of contraception, I’ll be the first to admit that the fluctuation in hormones can definitely cause feelings of irritability and depression. Of course much of it depends on the dosage, as well as how your body handles it. So ladies, do tell: Have you found yourself fighting with your moodiness after going on hormonal birth control? Or does it actually improve your moods?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have You Gone Without Sex While in a Relationship?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2378702</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Sure, we&#039;ve all been single and gone without sex for a few months, maybe even years. But when you&#039;re lucky enough to find someone you care about, you finally get to share all the intimacy you want with that person. I&#039;m not saying you have to have outrageous &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1766482&quot; &gt;sex every night&lt;/a&gt;, but you definitely enjoy each other&#039;s company a few times a week. Unfortunately, sometimes our busy lives get in the way of that affectionate time, and as a result, some couples end up going a while without getting it on. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/43_2008/ab36aa9fdb74df42_in-bed.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;center image xlarger&quot; height=&quot;347&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I am wondering, what&#039;s the longest amount of time you&#039;ve ever gone without sex while being in a relationship? A few days? A few weeks? A few months? Did it upset you to have a break from sex, or were you too busy or stressed to even think about it? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Would You Save If Your House Was on Fire?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2369827</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/6066/42_2008/House-Fire.xlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image xlarge&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;280&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It&#039;s scary how many &lt;a href=&quot;http://casasugar.com/2365930&quot; &gt;wildfires&lt;/a&gt; we seem to have in California these days. The tragedies always make me think about how awful it would be to go through a fire, and I start to ponder the hypothetical question of what I would save if my house were burning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mom often said that if she could only save one thing, it would be our family photos — though that&#039;s not as relevant today in the age of digital photography. Has your home ever caught fire? If so, you probably went the safe route and saved yourself before your stuff. But if your house were burning and you could only save one thing, what would it be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br class=clear-both /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What&#039;s the Best Piece of Advice a Parent&#039;s Given You?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2380709</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/42_2008/3a76563edde09fb3_Mother-Daughter.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left image xxlarge&quot; height=&quot;451&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Getting unsolicited advice, especially from our parents, can be more frustrating and intrusive than helpful. With more years and life experience under their belts, some of what they say must be true, which is why it’s always good to at least hear them out even if you find their know-it-all sentiment irritating. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mom always told me to beware of charming men, and to this day I&#039;m not convinced by a charmer until I see his genuine side — I think it&#039;s saved me a few heartaches! I’ve shared mine, now what’s yours? Do tell: What’s the best piece of advice you got from your parents?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do Certain Seasons Make You More in the Mood?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2349070</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/42_2008/autumn.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;center image xxlarge&quot; height=&quot;357&quot; width=&quot;487&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Don&#039;t you just love Fall? It&#039;s such a &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2322794&quot; &gt;cozy time of year&lt;/a&gt;, full of fleece coats, sipping hot cups of cider, and afternoon outings pumpkin picking. Long walks admiring the warm colored leaves and crisp air give hints that Winter holiday celebrations are on their way. If you&#039;re in a relationship, all these pleasant feelings can make you fall in love all over again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other seasons can have this same effect on your mood and how you feel about the people in your life. So I&#039;m wondering if certain seasons make you more in the mood for love and intimacy than others. Do you have a favorite season that you look forward to every year that encourages feelings of love, or is it the change in seasons that inspires passion for you?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Mantras Do You Live By? </title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Although cliches are, well, cliche, &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2021921&quot; &gt;some of them ring true!&lt;/a&gt; I actually live my life by one particularly important one: treating others how I&#039;d like to be treated — it&#039;s sort of like my mantra. Do you have any mantras that hold strong and true to you and your personal life? If so, do tell, what helps you be the person you are, or what enables you to make sense of it all? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/42_2008/mantra.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;outline center image xlarger&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;265&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As we all know, stress wreaks havoc on our body, mind and spirit so I&#039;m curious to hear how you cope with anxiety. 24 percent of you like to &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2352498&quot; &gt;get it on&lt;/a&gt;, but for everyone else, do tell, how do you center yourself during stressful times? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Are You Always Late or Right on Time? </title>

I happen to agree — I&#039;m always on time — but I have friends that are late no matter what, even when they give themselves extra time. I&#039;ve grown accustomed to it though, and I just consider it their little quirk. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rules, so do tell, are you the person who&#039;s usually running late or do you tend to be right on time, if not a little early?&lt;/p&gt;

Since we know all about the &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/tags/birth+control&quot; &gt;various methods of contraception&lt;/a&gt; out there, we also know that none of them are 100 percent effective. If you’re having sex, there’s always a slim possibility you could get pregnant. And if you have a regular period, missing it for even a day could send you rushing out for pregnancy tests. So ladies, in your attempts to avoid it, have you ever had a pregnancy scare?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have You Ever Hit Rock Bottom?</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/41_2008/Women-Crying.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image xxlarge&quot; height=&quot;451&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I often hear people refer to “hitting rock bottom” as the impetus they needed to pull themselves back up to the top again. But since we all come from different backgrounds and deal with our own set of struggles, the notion of rock bottom differs for everyone. And even though being in that dark place is never fun, often the changes that come out of it help shape the direction of life for the better. I know I’ve battled personal demons before, what about you? Do tell: When was your all-time low? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Did Your Friendships Change Over Time? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2329982</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;When you&#039;ve known someone a long time, it&#039;s inevitable that you&#039;ll experience bumps along the road, but with some friends, those growing pains are more frequent. With age comes maturity and a greater sense of awareness, and sometimes the things that didn&#039;t affect us before become serious issues in our present relationships. Friendships can either grow stronger or farther apart over time, so if you&#039;ve ever struggled with an old friendship, do tell, what changed over the years and what obstacles did you both have to overcome to make your friendship work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/41_2008/friendship_0.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;outline image xxlarge&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;334&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have You Ever Been Used? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2325494</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/41_2008/Woman-Arms-Crossed.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left outline image xlarge&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; width=&quot;315&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I’ve been fortunate enough to build a strong group of friends over the years, but in the process, I’ve encountered my fair share of people who were only out for their own gain. Of course as I’ve gotten older, it’s rare that I find myself in the position of being used by someone, but I’d be lying if I said it’s never happened before. And it’s always an unpleasant realization. Have you ever realized that someone was using you? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Do You Prioritize Your Relationships?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2300859</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/41_2008/boyfriend.xxlarge.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right outline image xxlarge&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It seems like everyone could benefit from a few more hours to every day. And when you&#039;re juggling work, family, friends and a relationship, it can be challenging to make time for everyone. But, if you&#039;re like me and enjoy a few moments to yourself, even if it&#039;s just to catch your breath, how do you prioritize your relationships so no one feels left out? I have yet to master this one so do tell, how do &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; prioritize quality time with your loved ones? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do You See Your Parents Differently Now?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2172276</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/40_2008/Lying-Down-Woman.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image preview&quot; height=&quot;448&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;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. Do you feel the same way? Now that you’ve grown up, do you think of your parents differently? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Why Ask, When You Already Know the Answer? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2170756</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;As someone who offers a lot of advice, I’m often asked questions in which it’s clear to me that the asker already knows the answer. In fact, they’re often first to point out that they know exactly what to do, but they’re just unable to do it. I had been thinking a lot about this and then it dawned on me; they’re probably just looking for permission to do the “wrong” thing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/40_2008/Friends-Talking.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; height=&quot;332&quot; width=&quot;500&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could be completely mistaken, so I want to know your opinion on this. Do you ever encounter this with your friends? Are you guilty of doing this yourself? Ladies, do tell, why ask when you already know the answer? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Are You Turned Off When He&#039;s Interested? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2136281</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/40_2008/over-it.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;outline left image preview&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It&#039;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&#039;ve caught the object of their affection&#039;s attention. Of course being pursued feels great, but what I don&#039;t think people understand is that the feeling of being desired doesn&#039;t necessarily go away because you&#039;ve made a connection with someone. So do you suffer from this frustrating dating pattern, or does having someone interested in you make you actually like them even more? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do Your Siblings Have a Different Relationship With Your Parents? </title>

The fact is that even if you’re raised under the same roof, people are different, and as such, they develop relationships differently too. In every family there are certain members who connect, and others who consistently find themselves having the same arguments. So what about in your family? Do your brothers or sisters have a different relationship with your parents than you? How so? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What&#039;s Your Idea of Romance?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2089657</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In the movies, romance is dozens of red roses, diamonds, sunsets, and surprise proposals. Sure, those things can be romantic in real life too, but we all know that romance is not so easily categorized, and it&#039;s often not even planned. Personally I think of romance as a feeling or a moment that leaves me breathless, rather than a specific action or item. But this is one thing that&#039;s different for everyone, so do tell, what&#039;s &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; idea of romance?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/39_2008/200403415-001.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; height=&quot;378&quot; width=&quot;500&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Not only does that question put us on the spot, but no answer ever seems good enough when the reality is just that we haven&#039;t met the right person yet! So ladies, have at it and tell me how you respond to such questions. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Do You Dislike About Being Single? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2070039</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It seems like most of you like the freedom aspect of being single most, but that autonomy is often a double-edged sword. Though having the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want is liberating, a common gripe I hear about being single is loneliness — having no one to rely on, no one to spend Sunday nights with, and not having that special someone to call just because. The grass is always greener, right? So to you &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2036987&quot; &gt;29 percent&lt;/a&gt; that think being single is a total drag, do tell, what is it you dislike most about being unattached? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/39_2008/singles.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;outline image preview&quot; width=&quot;508&quot; height=&quot;337&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

So to you 16 percent that actually &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/2036987&quot; &gt;enjoy your single life&lt;/a&gt;, do tell, what is it that makes it so fun?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Are Your Future Priorities?</title>

She loves dating, but she has no desire to have children or even get married. Meanwhile, I have other friends who have completely set aside their careers to work on building a family. I respect both choices very much, but I find it fascinating that there’s such a distinct difference in priorities. Are you leaning to one of these extremes? Do tell, where are your priorities as far as family versus career in your own future? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Are There Any Sexual Encounters You Regret? </title>

I’m a person who likes to believe that everything happens for a reason, and any mistake is just another lesson learned, but there are still things I regret. We can&#039;t take things back, but wouldn&#039;t it be nice if we could have a few &quot;do-overs&quot;? So ladies, do tell, which sexual encounters do you wish you could just delete from your permanent record? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Have You or Your Partner Pulled a Muscle During Sex?</title>

Or maybe you were trying to show off your flexibility and you pulled a hamstring instead. In my opinion, there&#039;s no better way to suffer an injury! Since your secrets are safe here, do tell: Have you or your partner ever pulled a muscle during sex? If so, did you confess the real story or did you make something up?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: When You Get Sad, What Do You Do?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1981069</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;There have been many periods in my life when I’ve felt frustrated with my friends and family, but for every occasion that I’m annoyed, there are a hundred more when having them in my life has proven invaluable. Whenever I’m sad or worried, I always reach out to them, and even if they can’t solve my problem, it helps to know someone cares. But some people are not apt to do the same. In fact, I have a few people in my life that seem to just shut down when they get sad. Does that sound like you? Do tell, when the going gets tough, how do you react? Do you close yourself off for some much-needed introspection, or is feeling down your time to confide? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Do Your Girlfriends Talk the Most About? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/2021398</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;When girls get together, it&#039;s a time for them to talk about everything from their careers to their love lives, and all the fun stuff in between. And even if you have a few different groups of friends, there are usually reoccurring topics that get touched upon each and every time. When I&#039;m with my friends, we catch up first but the conversation always finds its way back to men, dating, and relationships. Does this sound familiar? Do tell, what&#039;s the most common topic of conversation between you and your girlfriends?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/38_2008/women_0.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;outline center image preview&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Do You Look Forward to Your Alone Time? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1981904</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/37_2008/200302777-001.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image preview&quot; height=&quot;451&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Alone time is incredibly valuable, especially if you tend to be an introvert; it gives you time to process your thoughts and get back in touch with yourself as an individual. But once you’re in a relationship, alone time can get lost in the shuffle of a busy schedule. In fact, if you live with someone, finding alone time can feel nearly impossible. I expressed these thoughts to a friend recently, and she was quick to point out that she didn’t look forward to her alone time at all. Sure, she appreciates it, but she prefers to have people around. I was surprised by her response, but do you agree? Do tell, is alone time something you look forward to? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Did You Meet Your Best Friend? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1983872</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;There&#039;s nothing like a best friend! The importance of having someone you can turn to and trust without a moment of hesitancy is infinitely important in this hectic world. But the friendship that you have with a best friend is more than just the day-to-day stuff, it’s also about the memories you create with one another along the way. So let’s take a trip down memory lane and share the story of how you met your best friend!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/37_2008/dv443025_0.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; height=&quot;401&quot; width=&quot;500&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: When Did You First Get on the Pill? </title>

Some women I know have been on the pill since high school, while others only tried it out recently. What about you? When did you first start taking the pill? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Has Anyone Ever Walked in on You Masturbating?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1898494</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/37_2008/woman.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image preview&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I&#039;m sure you all know by now that I&#039;m in full support of &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/1812775&quot; &gt;masturbation&lt;/a&gt;. Not only do I think it&#039;s completely natural, but I also feel that it gives you a chance to find out what you like and what &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/329386&quot; &gt;gets you excited&lt;/a&gt;. That being said, masturbation is definitely a private time, and not something you want the whole world to know you&#039;re doing. Since accidents do happen, I&#039;m wondering, has anyone ever caught you in the act? If so, what did you do? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Part of Your Body Do You Like Best?</title>

Since we are so quick to self-deprecate, I&#039;m back to turn the tables and talk about the things we &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; like about our bodies. It can be somewhat uncomfortable to toot your own horn, but go ahead, give yourself a confidence boost and tell me, what part of your body do you like the best? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? </title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1950780</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I just came across this great &lt;a href=&quot;http://beforeidieiwantto.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; asking a very poignant question: What do you want to do before you die? The inspiration behind this project was sparked by &quot;a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, very straight-forward question.&quot; Nicole and ks, the co-curators, have collected numerous photographs asking each participant to fill in the blank “Before I die I want to . . .” on the white section of their Polaroid pic, and they plan to keep in touch in order to see if participants have accomplished their goals. I absolutely love this concept, so let me throw out the same question to all of you: What do you want to do before you die? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/37_2008/Picture_1_1.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;center image preview&quot; width=&quot;439&quot; height=&quot;519&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: What Part of Your Body Are You Most Insecure About?</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/36_2008/insec.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right outline image preview&quot; width=&quot;313&quot; height=&quot;312&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;No matter how beautiful or perfect you may think someone is, I can almost guarantee that they have their own set of insecurities just like you and me. While the female body is a beautiful form no matter what shape or size, it&#039;s really all about the way you feel inside in regard to how you look on the outside. And even though it&#039;s commonly just in our heads, most women I know have at least one part of their body that they wish could be smaller, tighter, leaner, prettier, or just plain different from what it currently is. Sound familiar? If so, do tell, what part of your body are you most insecure about? &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: Where Does the Pressure in Your Life Come From?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1932477</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3362/36_2008/71044015.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;right image preview&quot; height=&quot;453&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I’ve found that pressure either makes people work 10 times harder, or it stresses them out to the point where they can’t do anything at all. In either case, substantial pressure can be overwhelming and hard to avoid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make matters worse, pressure has no boundaries; it can enter your personal life just as easily as your professional one, and often comes from the people closest to you. So tell me, where does the pressure in your life come from?  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Do Tell: How Do You Keep Track of Your Period?</title>
 <link>http://dearsugar.com/1681241</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m sure many of you are so in tune with your bodies that you know exactly when Aunt Flo is going to pay you a visit. &lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/36_2008/1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;left image preview&quot; height=&quot;372&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Some women count days and keep track of their periods on their calendar, some women record the details of their cycles on a &lt;a href=&quot;http://dearsugar.com/442911&quot; &gt;fertility awareness chart&lt;/a&gt;, and others just know based on their birth control (how many pills they have left in their pack or how long they&#039;ve been wearing their Nuvaring). Of course PMS and the responses our bodies give us are a great indication (did someone say sore boobs?), but how do you keep track of your cycle? Is it something you monitor religiously, or something you do every once in a while when you remember?&lt;/p&gt;
