From fairy tales to romance novels, from sitcoms to full-length movies, we’re taught a first kiss should be romantic, meaningful and emotionally intense. Real life, however, tends to send a different message. From junior high dances to clubs, from first loves to blind dates, first kisses are often awkward, nerve-racking and unsettling. Of course, there… Continue reading First kiss fantasies

Don’t call us…
The phone rings and a sense of dread settles in the pit of your stomach. No, you’re not starring in a sequel to Scream–you’re suffering the aftershocks of giving out your phone number. While supplying your number can result in great conversation, entertaining dates, and even a satisfying relationship, it seems that it can also… Continue reading Don’t call us…
Daring others can be dangerous
For some, proving others wrong is a hobby. The words “I bet you wouldn’t…” are powerful motivators, resulting in many outlandish acts. These feats can be funny, scary and everything in between. I once made the bold statement, "Becky, you’d never have the guts to go and pet that guy’s mullet!" Normally, I would have… Continue reading Daring others can be dangerous
Bedroom etiquette
As children, we learn the basics of etiquette and good manners. They are taught to us by parents, teachers and respectable elders. These coaches, however, seem to be ill equipped when it comes to lessons of bedroom etiquette. Some standards are well known and can relate to life both in and out of the bedroom.… Continue reading Bedroom etiquette
Too cold for class
As Calgarians avoided last week’s extreme temperatures, going to class was the last thing on many students’ minds. In the eyes of university administration, however, closing the campus due to cold or snow is not a possibility. While many universities have policies for “snow days” and blizzards, the University of Calgary is hesitant to let… Continue reading Too cold for class
Using clothes to call back
I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, but the end of 2003 corresponded with the demise of my dating tactics–I resolved to “put an end to all game playing.” Keeping this resolution would mean not worrying about the appropriate time to wait before calling someone new. It would mean not creating new ways to turn… Continue reading Using clothes to call back
Silencing the stupid
Have you ever been with someone where listening to them is so painful you want to shove your tongue down their throat just so they have to be quiet? Unfortunately, I have. Numerous times. The first was a couple of years ago. I’d just gotten out of a long-term relationship and was on the rebound… Continue reading Silencing the stupid
Just when you think your date couldn’t get any worse…
People drunk enough to throw up are relatively unselective when it comes to choosing a vomit venue. That’s nothing new. In fact, I’ve seen a number of interesting losing-your-lunch locales. The Saddledome, garbage cans in front of the old Fox, Rez bathrooms (of course), C-Trains, even Science Theatre water fountains. You’d think a living room… Continue reading Just when you think your date couldn’t get any worse…
Passing on seconds
Some readers may remember my recent advice about sampling a potential hook-up before you commit to bringing them home. It has, however, come to my attention that some people are too optimistic for this sampling process. A “glass is half full” attitude can have disastrous results. Take, for example, a third-year student named Shannon. She’d… Continue reading Passing on seconds
People sampling
Going to Costco, you may revel in the opportunities brought by food samples. Similarly, you may be the kind of person who can’t get enough of the free trials available at the Bay’s cosmetics counter. Either way, you are smart enough to recognize the benefits of testing something on a small-scale before you commit to… Continue reading People sampling
