15. You’re special, unique, and important, but you’re not a princess—no matter what Daddy says (although for the record, my dad calls me “Erin”).

21. You can’t force chemistry. If you like him as a friend, the attraction might grow, but if it doesn’t, don’t force it. And don’t waste his time.

27. There should be a medium ground between workaholism and his absolute devotion. “The knight departing for new adventures offends his lady, yet she has nothing but contempt for him if he remains at her feet” (Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 658).

Check out all 31 tips here.

I would like to meet a guy (a straight guy) who will rock a velvet blazer. Well, maybe I should just aim at meeting straight guys in general. I seem to have a problem with that. haha. Oh, but I do love my my wonderful gay friends!

get together already

I think Taylor Swift is so stinkin' adorable. And well, Taylor Lautner is pretty damn good looking (now, if he would already turn 18 so I don't feel like a creeper saying that). And I just really want the rumors to be true that they are really dating. I mean look how cute they are together while filming a scene for the upcoming movie, Valentine's Day (which stars almost everybody). You know you want them together too!

Oh yeah, Taylor Swift is singing on the track Half My Heart off of John Mayer's new album Battle Studies!

The reason some girls stay single

Go here now. Listen to the two voicemails this tool left this poor girl. So funny.

My email from my mother

This is the fairy take that should have been read to us when we were little:

Once upon a time in a land far away,

A beautiful, independent, self-assured princess

Happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess’ lap and said: “Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.

One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am

And then, my sweet, we can marry

And set up housekeeping in your castle

With my mother,

Where you can prepare my meals,

Clean my clothes, bear my children,

And forever feel grateful and happy doing so.”

That night,

As the princess dined sumptuously

On lightly sautéed frog legs

Seasoned in a white wine

And onion cream sauce,

She chuckled and thought to herself:

I don’t fucking think so.

Reasons why it is better to date the sidekick instead of the hero

1. Leading men are always sacrificing something, and chances are they are going to sacrifice you. They can never be happy because they have serious business to take care of. With the leading man you will always be his second priority (the first is always saving the world in some way or another) and chances are he will sacrifice you. Ginny Weasley, you should have slapped Harry Potter when he dumped you because he had to do something super duper important, and even though he really really really loved you, he couldn’t tell you.
2. Leading men always have issues and complexes. Maybe they wouldn’t be the center of attention if they didn’t have issues, but either way, do you want to deal with the hero complexes, daddy complexes, destiny complexes, etc. Can you even begin to contemplate Luke Skywalker’s therapy bills? The sidekicks are a more simple folk. Sidekicks come from loving homes or they don’t have homes. Did you ever notice that the sidekick’s family makes the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional or the sidekick’s past is never mentioned? The sidekick will bring you into his perfect cozy family or the writer never created the sidekick’s family, so you don’t have to deal with them or the issues they created at all.
3. Leading men are so self-centered. Maybe because of the above mentioned issues leading men can’t help but be thrust into the spotlight, but methinks there is a touch of the attention-whore in most of heroes. Do you think Batman would ever ask you how your day at the office was? Nope, he is just going to want to brag about how he saved Gotham City, again, and then mope in a corner about how know one understands his pain. Oh puhleeze. Sidekicks are by nature aware of those around him. He shares and he cares. The sidekick will be there with you as you battle everything from the demons in your life to the cockroach in the kitchen.
4. Ever seen a leading man crack a smile? Occasionally perhaps, but chances are your leading man pouts more than a model during Fashion Week. Hey, I love an intense stare as much as the next gal, but I realize that the soul penetrating glare is just a bit too intense for an entire dinner date. Sidekicks are known for irresistible smiles, charming manners and sweet dispositions. He is never socially awkward so it’s not as if you have to worry about him laughing at a funeral or anything. The sidekick can be serious when he needs to be, but you will have loads of laughs and tons o’ fun while the leading man skulks.
5. At the end of the day, the sidekick’s best quality is not just something we don’t like about the leading man. What makes a sidekick a sidekick is his loyalty and selflessness. A true sidekick sticks by his best bud through thick and thin, and it’s usually pretty thin. If the dude’s character is pure and kind enough to win him the number two spot, chances are he deserves to be your number one man.
