Getting her to fall in love with you

April 17th, 2008 - Relationships & Dating

Hey Doc,

I’m new to your articles but I’ve spent considerable time looking through them and unfortunately, I don’t know if the suggestions and advice in them would apply to my particular scenario.

I’m 20, going to college, and I just moved into a new apartment about a month ago. While moving in, my friends and I met the neighbor, a (HOT) recently graduated nurse named Katie. We finished moving my stuff in, and we all hung out at her apartment until very late. Long story short, my friends were leaving and she was holding my belt loop to keep me there. We ended up being romantic. It was so great that we wound up making out for half the night. We both said we didn’t want a steady relationship and agreed to a “friends with benefits” relationship, the only caveat being that if one of us hooked up with someone else, we’d have to tell each other.

April 13th, 2008 - Health & Food

Smoothie

As college students, most of our diet usually consists of fast food. After our freshman 15 (or in my case 25), we start to pay attention to what we order in hopes of getting back in shape. Well, according to this article from Yahoo, the food industry actually lies to us in some cases when advertising some types of food as “healthy.” Heres the link to an article from Yahoo Health that highlights 6 foods that are advertised as “healthy,” but in reality they are not.[Full Article]

Does she have a boyfriend? Is She Interested?

April 3rd, 2008 - Relationships & Dating


Hey Doc,

Well, here goes!

Recently I met Marisol through my company’s salsa club. We were dance partners for our company’s party performance recently and we get along fairly well. We had a few one-to-one outings together because we needed to practice our dancing moves. I wouldn’t consider them dates exactly, but these practice sessions gave me some alone time with Marisol. We joked a lot and I didn’t allow her to notice my Interest Level in her. In turn I was trying to figure out her Interest Level in me without being obvious about it.Afterwards I found out through office gossip that Marisol had a boyfriend. I wanted to give up thinking about her at all after this, but recently it seems like she’s been paying a little more attention to me and she walks over to wherever I’m sitting to talk with me. I usually keep these in-office conversations short because I don’t like the setting at work for long, intimate talks.

So it seems to me that Marisol might have some interest in me, yet it’s still too hard to gauge. One of my buddies told me that I should ask her out for dinner just to see if she’s interested and possibly available. From your teachings, that’s a big no-no, especially for someone with a boyfriend. Am I right?

So which of the following should I do?

Make your pictures look nicer just like the pro’s!

April 3rd, 2008 - Education, Useful

Photoshop has been leading the world of graphics manipulation for centuries now(since the Gutenberg printing press) ok fine I’m joking, but its been around for quite a long time and I don’t think anyone with a computer or at least a nerdy friend (like yours truly) hasn’t heard of it. Its a great tool for student photographers or anyone who wants to make changes to a photo. However, this tool has a downside. Its not cheap… Ok fine its really really expensive especially for amatures who just enjoy photography and do it for the love. Well have I got a treat for you!

Are you a student freelancer?

April 2nd, 2008 - Useful

So I am just starting to dip my feet into the pool of student freelancers (I should have done this sooner but better late then never right?). I came across this website. Its fairly new but I just made an account and browsed around. It looks like it has some potential and can help student freelancers find jobs. Its sort of like an outsourcing job site like Elance but for students only (You gotta use your school email to login).

Any student freelancers out there?

Do you want a full breakfast in 3 minutes?

April 2nd, 2008 - Health & Food, Useful

So I was browsing the interwebs and I found this great breakfast tip from the blog of Tim Ferriss author of the holy Four Hour Work Week… He makes breakfast in 3 minutes and the best part is that its low carb and high in protien (according to him anyway)… Oh and did I mention that it requires almost NO CLEANUP?!?! Cheers to being healthy AND lazy! Friggin’ Awesome!

Haven’t tried this yet but if you did, how does it taste? I’ll be doing this sometime this week (if I get up early that is) and will keep you posted…
