I recently met a girl and asked her out for dinner.  The evening went really well and so I asked her if she would like to be exclusive.  I know, I know, it was just one date and stuff but I really like her, she is everything I have been looking for.  She told me maybe but that she already had committed to some other dates so would let me know.  We went out again a couple of weeks later and she started asking me some personal questions.  At first I was ok with this and thought it was great that she was taking such an interest but then she pulled out her i phone and started entering in my info.  I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she kept a spreadsheet of all the guys she was dating with their info so that she wouldn’t get people mixed up.  She then asked me if she could take my photo to attach to my profile.  Do you think there is any hope of a future for us?

It seems that every time I turn on the television, there is a new story about the government going over their spending budget for the 2010 Olympics. This story intertwined with stories of homelessness on the rise, hunger and poverty keeps me wondering where our priorities lie.

How secure is your personal information? Do you use your birthday, your dog’s name, or your mother’s maiden name as a password? Can your password choice be found in a dictionary?

I met this really hot chick at a party and we really got it on dancing, drinking and then later I took her to her place and spent the night. The next morning I told her that I had a great time and that I would call her. I must have made the mistake of giving her my card or something because she has all my numbers and won’t stop calling me. Lucky I have call display because she calls me at home on my cell, and yesterday called me at work. Finally I took her call and she was really pissed at me because I hadn’t called her. I tried to tell her that when a guy says “I’ll call you” it doesn’t mean like tomorrow or even next week. She yelled into the phone that I was a player and that she will make sure that I would be sorry for what I had done to her. She yelled so loudly that I am sure the two women next to me at the office could hear her. I am worried that this chick is psycho and is going to do something really nasty.  What should I do to get her off my back?
