Dating Confessions by You "I've been crushing on you for months. Today's the day I finally muster up the Hooksexup to ask you out. I can't remember the last time I was this nervous."
Any sexual positions you can suggest for maximum trampoline-hookup potential?
Have the woman on top facing backwards. It's the only position besides standing up — which, let's face it, is just not possible on a trampoline — where you don't get burns. Trampoline burns are like rug burns, but much worse. Trust me, I've had both.
I'm dating someone who owns a trampoline, and I want to try hooking up on one. Any tips for luring someone from the bedroom to the trampoline?
If it's warm out, tell them you want to go sun on the trampoline.

The black base is great for baking you. Then you'll be there without lots of clothing on, and you can just lean over and get into it like you were in any other place. They don't call them trampolines for nothing.
My girlfriend and I have decided to move in together, but recently my eye has been wandering more than usual. Am I just nervous about taking such a big step, or is this a red flag?
I think humans aren't inherently monogamous creatures, so what you're feeling is natural. However, if it's true that you're gawking more than you normally would, I'd suggest not moving in together. It's the ultimate entrapment. Soon the only person you'll be looking at is your partner, and your wandering eye is only going to get worse.
My bachelor party is coming up and my friends have planned a wild night out. What are the ground rules for the guy enjoying his last night as a bachelor? Definitely get a lap dance — you'll regret it for the rest of your marriage if you don't. As for everything else, do whatever is not going to make you feel guilty before the wedding.
I'm dating a guy who never makes the first move. Am I doing something wrong or is this guy just a lost cause?
Have you tried saying, "Hey buddy, it's kind of hot when you make the move?" I know for me, there's no way I could be the one always making the move. There's something hot about a guy coming at you. Everyone needs the sexual give-and-take in a relationship, and you need to tell him that you feel like you're always the giver. If he still doesn't get it, he's either a lost cause or simply uninterested.

My girlfriend makes more money than I do. Meanwhile, I'm always broke. She doesn't mind this, but I feel jealous and emasculated. What should I do?
Dude, cherish your sugar mama. At least one of you is ballin'. If you were both broke, then you'd really have something to complain about. She's not after your weak bankroll, so appreciate her real love.

There's always going to be sweeter candy in the shop. You just can't eat it. If you're seriously considering marrying her, then move in together and test the waters. But don't forget, the woman of your dreams could be awaiting you out there, and this girlfriend that you live with could really fuck that up.
I love my girlfriend, but I can't stand her family. She thinks they're fantastic, and even wants to eventually move to the town they live in. Is this reason enough not to stay with someone who I think is perfect for me otherwise?
Unfortunately for you, a wife is a package deal. If you truly think she's perfect for you, suck it up and marry her. Compromise: find a home forty-five minutes away from her family. After a while, everyone will get sick of making the trip.
My bachelor party is coming up and my friends have planned a wild night out. What are the ground rules for the guy enjoying his last night as a bachelor?
Enjoy the show, but if you kiss or grope, you're cheating. You are about to make the woman you love your wife. Have some respect for yourself and the bride to be.
My boyfriend thinks I drink too much. I just like to let loose every weekend with my friends and get drunk — I don't black out or do anything too stupid. Is he wrong to give me a hard time about this?
Who wants to date a sloppy-drunk weekend warrior? Not me. Go out with your friends once in a while, but going out without your boyfriend every weekend suggests that you're not satisfied with him. This is single-woman behavior. Stay home and enjoy a few nights off with your man. Dinner, a movie and a bottle of red will leave you feeling better in the long run.
Jessica, 23 adventuresof-winston.blogspot.com Would you recommend fooling around on a trampoline?
I recommend fooling around anywhere except for the backseat of a Jeep Wrangler. I've never had so many bruises! Plus, the bouncing effect of a trampoline makes your boobs look bigger.
I have a blog where I write about my dating experiences, but the guy I'm currently dating has indicated he'd be horrified if I wrote anything about him. Should I write about us anyway?
Speaking as a fellow blogger, it would be in your best interest to respect his wishes — unless he does something truly worthy of a blog post. But really, no one really wants to hear about your wonderful relationship. That's not dating, that's boring.
My bachelor party is coming up and my friends have planned a wild night out. What are the ground rules for the guy enjoying his last night as a bachelor?
Lap dances are necessary, and you can get away with some light boob touching. I would institute a strict no-Frenching rule, though.
Any particular sexual positions you can suggest in order to reach maximum trampoline-hookup potential?
The Choo-Choo Train. This resembles something you may have done in gymnastics class in second grade, minus the sex part. You sit on the trampoline and wrap your legs around the person in front of you. Then, as penetration begins, someone else climbs aboard and starts jumping around the trampoline. This requires a third party, and a sense of humor.
My girlfriend and I have decided to move in together, but recently my eye has been wandering more than usual. Am I just nervous about taking such a big step, or is this a red flag?
I think that's pretty standard. Commitments are scary. My advice is to hang out with another girl, and you'll see how truly sucky she is because she isn't your wonderful girlfriend who you love. The grass is always greener — except that it's not.
Byron, 24 My girlfriend makes more money than I do. Meanwhile, I'm always broke. She doesn't mind, but I feel jealous and emasculated. Are we doomed?
Not if you use your paltry salary to invest in a trampoline. The thrill and freedom trampoline owners discover will add benefits far beyond your sex life. It can be an exercise tool (saving money on a gym membership), somewhere to go and clear your head (eliminating a costly psychiatrist) and a great means for passionate intercourse (no need for a sex therapist).
I like everything about the girl I'm dating except for one thing: she's willing to do everything sexually except fuck. She claims it hurts her too much. It is reasonable for me to think this is a dealbreaker?
Have you figured out how long this problem of hers has been an issue? Has it always hurt her to have sex, or is it just with you? If it always has, maybe she should talk to a doctor. If it's just you, congratulations on your big dick. Now go find a woman who can handle it. You can't sustain a relationship for very long without getting laid every once in a while, no matter how good the blowjobs are. Plus, if this girl isn't even trying to fix this issue, it means she obviously doesn't care about you that much and isn't worth the investment.
I have a boyfriend who I love, but recently I signed up for training sessions at my gym, and I find myself really attracted to my trainer. I get nervous butterflies before our appointments. I haven't experienced these kinds of feelings since I met my boyfriend. What does this mean?
So Hans makes you blush, eh? A little innocent necking never hurt anyone. Chances are, the gym adrenaline is just going to your head.
I have a blog where I write about my dating experiences, but the guy I'm currently dating has indicated he'd be horrified if I wrote anything about him. Should I write about us anyway?
This guy is just being difficult. Did you tell him that using a different name was an option? Make sure he knows it is, and if he still refuses, ask yourself why you're even interested in dating someone who thinks so differently from you. I don't think someone like you who enjoys making her life public, and someone like him who won't even make his life public when he can't be identified, have much chance of a future.
My girlfriend and I have decided to move in together, but recently my eye has been wandering more than usual. Am I just nervous about taking such a big step, or is this a red flag?
Depends how far it's wandering. If it's wandering to hot girls in the street, I've got news for you: that will never go away. But if you're unable to stop yourself from walking up to these girls and asking them out, you have a problem. n°
