Summer Lovin'

Because I've been slacking on blogging, and because summer is a great time for thinking about romance, I present a collection of relationship articles. I've written quite a few; these are my favorites and the ones that have received the most response.

"Not Your Buddy"
Close male-female friendships can be fun and engaging, but are women putting their emotions at risk?

Update: I received a flood of emails from guys saying that they have experienced the opposite—where a female friend has led them on. I guess it goes both ways.

"Confessions of a Relationship Consultant"
My experiences as a DTR consultant have taught me that the first relationship conversation can be more than an exercise — it can be the start of true love.

Note: Artist Mike Heath said he tried to pick a girl for the photo that looked a little like me. I was flattered.

"The Object of my Affection"
I know the One who should captivate my heart. Why then, am I so easily distracted?

Note: Turns out this is a very popular title. Google it and see.

"My Single Identity Baggage"
On the journey to finding a mate, it's best to travel light.

Note: Or more properly subtitled: "Is it just me or is this dating stuff getting harder?"

"Marry Her? But What About that Girl Over There?"
The Last Kiss portrays an anemic, yet all-too-common, view of marriage that needs to go.

Note: Love the article...the title, not so much.
