Colette on BitchBuzz: Sex on the First Date

I wrote an article for BitchBuzz this week about sex on the first date. Is it a good idea or not? I tend to think it's not the best thing to do, but I know there are many people who would disagree with me. They have the right to their opinions. When I mentioned the article to my boyfriend, he said: "Once you have sex on the first date, there's nothing left to do but start fighting."

I once saw a Kids in the Hall sketch where a man and a woman meet up at her apartment. He says: "Let's skip the dinner and get right to the sex." She says: "Let's skip the sex and get right to the guilt."

So, why skip the innocent part about dating? Sex can wait, can't it? Think before you jump into bed with some guy you may want to have a relationship with in the future. Sleeping with somebody too soon can prevent the relationship from developing. Some guys get stuck in hook-up mode, and they stop trying to get to know you. Sex can complicate budding relationships, so why take the risk?

Colette on BitchBuzz: The New and Improved Jerk

Last week, I wrote an article for BitchBuzz about a new breed of your typical jerk. He'll love you and leave you, and he won't give it a second thought. These people are emotional sharks. Don't get too close, or they will tear your heart to shreds.

Colette on BitchBuzz: Online Dating 101

Some idiot in Marie-Claire wrote an article about how she dated a guy online for two years. I wrote an article for BitchBuzz in response. The best part is she never met him - ever. Two years! She said she had a fear of intimacy and so did he, ha! However, his fear of intimacy didn't seem to keep him from dating one of her friends. Yeah, he had a fear of intimacy.

Burnt Out

I woke up this morning and could not for the life of me get up and get ready for work. I'm exhausted this week. I've been staying up too late, watching the Olympics or writing articles for BitchBuzz. I need to chill this weekend and take lots of naps and eat some yummy take-out with the boyf.

I have to do some packing for the move, and I'm also donating a ton of clothes that have been hanging in my closet for a long time. There are some clothes I haven't worn in years, and/or I don't fit into anymore. They are going to a good home. J and I are donating our stuff to Big Brothers Society. All the clothes are in great condition, and I hope somebody less fortunate enjoys them as much as I did. I also gave away a lot of my "you're in your 30's now, you can't wear a bedazzled 'Princess' half-shirt" shirts. It's all about being age appropriate. Those clothes had a good run. I might even go through my "club clothes" this weekend. I have a whole crate of them in my closet, and I'm pretty sure they're covered in a blanket of cat hair because Peter used to sleep on top of them. I might keep some of those clothes, just because they're so damn cool, and I don't want to lose them. And, because I like shiny, sparkly things. I'm simple.

I hope everybody has a good weekend.

This Site is Going to Rock

Cate Sevilla, the funny and fabulous blogger and freelance writer, just released big news on her blog, CupCate that a new site geared towards intelligent, strong women is ready to launch. It will be called BitchBuzz. I can't tell you how excited I am to hear that a cool and funky site for chicks with brains and brawn is becoming a reality.

I also have some very exciting news, but I'm going to hold off until the time is right.
