Don't Be a Creeper
The ladies of TDR want to give the fellas' out there a little bit of advice: don't be a "Creeper"! Many men vehemently deny that they could attain creeper status. We mean, Creepers status is only reserved for toothless men who lurk at bars instead of dealing with their midlife crises, right? Wrong!
Facebook Flirting For Dummies
To some, increasing technology has become a new platform to catch the attention of the opposite sex. A simple update of the cleavage on your profile pic or a change in your relationship status, and voila - you will have opened the Pandora's box of flirty comments about how great/pretty/sexy/awesome you are. Likewise, we sometimes use updates as a forum to flirt with guys. Besides, it's easy, quick, and direct!
Boys' Night Out: It's a Numbers Game
Any girl who is fresh into a relationship will probably dread the next two words: "boys' night" (or better yet, a "boys' weekend"). These words are enough to cause concern in the coolest of all chics. After seeing the Hangover and reading tabloids about Tiger Woods and Jesse James, it's no wonder that our minds get a free pass to crazy land. The reality is, however, that your guy is not banging a MAC-faced 18-year old in the bathroom or popping bottles with Adrianna Lima when he goes on a boys' night.
Dressing for the First Date 101

Our suggestion? Find some way to set your mind at ease. Here's our top 8 tips for you to cope during a BNO:
Tell Guys What You Want, What You Really, Really Want
Guys are not mind-readers. We need to tell them what we want and need in relationships. Men respond well to clear communication and direction. It is that simple.
Top 5 ways to avoid the "Relationship 15"
We've all heard (and some of us remember) the "Freshman 15." You know, those 15 pounds that creep up on you during your first year of undergrad due to a heavy social calendar, food freedom, and a little too much of the good life (read: beer and grain alcohol).
7 Dating Tips that we've learned from the Bachelor
Contrary to popular belief, the Bachelor can be an educational experience. Where else can you see the dating patterns of 25 women and 1 often undeserving, and overly-lucky guy in an...eh hem...natural dating habitat? Nowhere. That is why (almost) everything we learned, we've learned from the Bachelor. Here goes our list:

With summer quicky approaching, you might want to start laying the groundwork for a summer fling.
Diversify Your Dating Portfolio
This sound financial advice is also sound dating advice. Just what do we mean by this tidbit of wisdom? Here it goes: we want you to "see" multiple guy types at the same time. Now, we're not saying that you should start accepting dinner invitations from your gardener one year into a relationship with another guy. What we are saying is that when you are just "seeing" someone (or just going on sporadic dates here and there), you should never turn down that dinner invitation from your gardener, or IT guy, or high school crush. Unless you are completely repulsed by his presence (in which case, you should run), going out to dinner with him is not going to kill you.
