As crazy as it seems playing “hard to get” still works. This does not mean endless games, but it does mean taking a deep breath, and having more patience than most of us possess. Wait for the other person to make a move if you have at least laid down some hints. There is something [...]

How do you know you have the “right one”? The person who will lead to happiness. This is a hard question on a lot of levels, and some of the most important things to consider are: Can you see your future without them? Are you committed to the relationship through thick and thin? Do you [...]

Were did we go wrong? Is it the magazines with super skinny models? The TV shows full of people who must not eat? The air-brushed bill-boards? When did we as a society make all the teenage girls, and women for that matter, feel so bad about the way their bodies were created that they want [...]

Fortunately there is a pretty easy fix. This will sound crazy, especially for image obsessed teens, but…Don’t [...]

OK, so a lot of people I know struggle with the question of should they date someone or take time to “get to know” who they really are bla bla bla. This is all very noble accept for the fact that most human beings hate to be alone. We are just not set up, most [...]

Not that you have missed the boat if you already have a teenager, and you haven’t really touched topics like sex and alcohol/drugs, but the boat is certainly on its way out to sea. I suggest you run to the dock and jump before it is really too far gone! Every year younger and younger [...]

I get a lot of questions about sex from teens who are debating having sex for the first time. The age old conundrums still exists. Girls want their first time to be special, and boys tend to see it more as a right of passage. Deciding when to have sex is a very personal decision, [...]
