Hump Day Crush: Interlude

Tweet I’m breaking from the normal flow of things here to seek out some opinions. In February, I plan the “official” launch of www.withoutbeingcrushed.com. There’s still a bunch of work that I want to do on the site. We won’t even talk about how much work actually needs to be done on the book. I… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Interlude

Hump Day Crush: More Than the Cover

Tweet The new season of Beauty and the Geek has hit the CW. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of the few reality shows that I actually think is worth watching.

And it helps us get what we need out of our relationships. Without self-confidence, we can easily end up… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Building Confidence

Hump Day Crush: Confidence Game

Tweet All of my self-confidence when it came to dating was crushed out of me by the time I was 14 years old. By that time, I had spent more than a year pining away after a girl who wouldn’t even breathe in my direction if she didn’t have to. I had firmly settled myself… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Confidence Game

Hump Day Crush: I’m Gonna Be…

Tweet Kerry was just one of those girls that I found myself falling for quite unexpectedly in high school. She really was more like one of the guys than anything else. Except every now and then… there was just something. I had first met her in middle school. I had an English class with her… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: I’m Gonna Be…
