August 29, 2022August 29, 2022 ~ JenniferP ~ 29 Comments

It's that time! Sex, breakups, saying no to stuff you don't wanna do, red flags, Darcying

It Came From The Search Terms: It’s Gonna Be May

May 18, 2022 ~ JenniferP ~ 195 Comments

Search strings, snap judgments. Comments are on, for a change!

#1376 Guest Post: “How do I find queer and trans friends and dates my own age?”

May 14, 2022 ~ sbearbergman

A guest post from S. Bear Bergman of Asking Bear about how to make new friends and find date partners. Bear will be answering questions live with the Captain on Sunday May 15, tix at this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/asking-bear-with-special-guest-captain-awkward-tickets-326018549257

#1342: “Please help me stop people from assuming that my best friend and I are a couple.”

July 12, 2021July 12, 2021 ~ JenniferP

Like the creative writing workshop advice goes, if one person tells you a piece of feedback about your story, that's just their opinion, but if ten people give you the same note, there's probably something worth paying attention to on the input side.

#1320: “How to be fair to a co-habiting ex who dumped me, but is acting all sad that I’m moving out?”

March 18, 2021March 18, 2021 ~ JenniferP

"You dumped me, remember? Kindly sigh into someone else's moving boxes."

#1312: Did I make the wrong decision? And–why can’t I listen to everyone telling me I made the right decision?

January 27, 2021January 27, 2021 ~ JenniferP ~ 1 Comment

It Came From The Search Terms: January 2021

January 18, 2021January 19, 2021 ~ JenniferP

It is that time when I pretend that the search strings people typed in are actual questions. Details? What details. Mitigating circumstances? Ha! It's all assumptions, all the time! 

#1306: Flirting vs. Professional Friendliness at the Dentist: EDITED

January 5, 2021January 6, 2021 ~ JenniferP

Was your dentist flirting with you?
No. And if he was, gross.

#1305: “Please help me close up the proverbial ‘woodwork’.”

December 29, 2020 ~ JenniferP ~ 2 Comments

"Say, Old Bean, it was really fun to have sex for a while, but I'm going to need you to find a new topic of conversation."

#1300: “Chronically-single abuse survivor tired of dating disasters.”

November 30, 2020November 30, 2020 ~ JenniferP

What if a) loneliness really sucks and b) finding romantic love is not primarily an internal and external makeover project?
