A close friend was recently hit with a disturbing amount of bad news. Now, it wasn’t the death of a loved one or a terminal medical diagnosis, but it sure felt that way—at least it did to me. As she cried to me over the phone, the knots in my stomach tightened to the point where it began to cut off my circulation, making it hard to breathe as she poured her heart out.

I’m not going to belabor the points in this article for two reasons: For starters, the average intelligent woman knows that it isn’t wise to have a bad temper. So I wouldn’t dare insult their intelligence by spending more time than what’s needed on something that should be a given. Secondly, I just checked my mailbox, and my DVD boxed set of “Mr. Belvedere” just arrived, so I’d rather spend my afternoon watching that.

Finding your dream woman can be about as difficult as uncovering a professional athlete who hadn’t slept with a Kardashian sister. Just when you begin to think you’ve found someone special, there always seems to be an obstacle to derail you off your path to happiness.

Here’s the scenario: You woke up this morning lying next to someone other than your significant other. Now your first thoughts were probably somewhere along the lines of: “F@*K!!!! … What am I doing here??? And how did my underwear get stuck in the ceiling fan???” (Hey, it happens.)

Can we all agree that communication is the key to any successful relationship? (I can hear the murmurs in the back of the room, and I hear you … you think great sex is the key … I get it.) But those closet freaks aside, I’m sure the rest of you will agree that in order to have a great relationship, there has to be an open line of communication between you and your significant other.

So I’m on the road traveling again, and my current stop finds me in Detroit. With the temperature teetering between “freezing” and “you’ve got to be kidding me,” you can imagine that I didn’t leave my hotel room last night. The time cooped up gave me ample opportunity to check out some other websites to gain valuable insight into how others view love and relationships.

It’s freezing outside, which mean it’s the perfect time to master the stay-at-home date. So make this a Friday night to remember by using this step-by-step guide to a romantic dinner for two. Enjoy, and stay warm … well I guess that’s what your date is for, right?

Hi Fly Guy, I’m currently pregnant and the father of the child is my ex-boyfriend. I’ve since moved on, and my new boyfriend says he doesn’t care about me being pregnant by another man. My new man actually wants to take care of the child, while my ex wants me to have an abortion. What should I do?

Have you ever wondered how that special woman feels after you lean in for that first kiss? Well if you’re anything like me, you’re hoping that firecrackers just exploded throughout her body, which will in turn have her restless the entire night as she contemplates the next time she’ll be close to you.

I died last night. And while loved ones will ponder the source of my demise, my killer has stood among them and they didn’t even know it. It was her …The woman I gave my all to … the woman I shared my dreams with … the woman that would eventually kill me.
