Lie to Me
After two years of dating B, people started to ask questions.
“When are you gonna move in together?”
“When are you gonna get married?”
And the one I hated most of all: “When is he gonna take you surfing?”
Yes, two years into my relationship with a fantastic surfer, or so I was told, I had yet to go surfing.
It became a point of contention between us. People would ask the question at parties,...

Ex Files: Vol. 4
I met Tom at work. I was standing at the hostess station when he walked in and asked for a cup of coffee to go. It was a sitdown restaurant, not a Starbuck’s, and I didn’t know how to field the request. Or how to field him.

Modesty: An Epidemic
I was at a party a few weeks back, when a friend uttered that most hated question: “What are you doing for work these days?”

And it’s not just me;...

The Truth About the Friend Zone
It is often said that romantic comedies do women a great disservice — that they make us covet an unrealistic degree of perfection from men. That they make us expect crazy things, like guys who are both sensitive and strong, passionate and faithful, and even possess the otherworldly ability to still like us after we have sex with them.
But I say that women are not the only ones getting a...

We are mad for mobile — just like our girls
Start-up life is a whirlwind. In London, my day is split between product development with the team of 16, recruiting, talking to potential partners, and interfacing with investors.

How to be a Mean Girl
We are now beginning our descent into an extreme sarcasm zone. Make sure your seat back and tray table are in their full, upright position.
Mean girls. They walk among us. And yet you probably couldn’t point one out in a photo. They have no team uniform or distinctive facial markings. Still, you know one when you meet one — by that POWER they have: the power to make you feel about the...
