A few brave readers have shared their dilemmas, including "I hate being single" and "Should I cheat on my boyfriend?"

Well, today, a reader reveals that she's an (accidental) tease...

Here's our reader's story:

I recently hung out with a sweet guy--but I didn't feel the love connection. He said, "Let's hang out again next week," and I said yes because I enjoyed spending time with him. But I totally see it going the friend route. I'm so bad at making that clear. But then again, who am I to assume that he was into me anyway?

Find out the 11 things guys don't understand about women!

Back when I had a boyfriend, guys would want to hang out and I'd never know what to say. How annoying is it to be the girl who says, "Oh, I have a boyfriend"? As if everyone was in love with me, yeah, right! So I wouldn't say anything and assume it was a friend thing, while the guy had a totally different idea.

I've been called a tease, but seriously, I'm just a little clueless. It's so

Did you watch last night's Gossip Girl? Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) brought up a good point: Is it better to date a guy that you have combustible, I've-gotta-have-you-now chemistry with? Or a guy that just feels kinda comfortable? (Spoiler alert!)

So my roommate and I were watching Gossip Girl last night-I know, big surprise-and my favorite TV baddie, Blair Waldorf. If you've been following the show lately, you know that Blair's been on this self-destructive tirade to throw away everything from her old life: her social graces, her Type-A-ness, even the devious Chuck. Enter, Nate, a.k.a. Blair's childhood sweetheart. He offers Blair his blazer on a cold night and next thing you know, she's swoony and starts comparing their relationship to Brangelina. (Um, hilarious.) But Nate's not exactly on the same page as Blair, i.e. he gives her is a forehead kiss, which even though it's sweet, might as well have been a noogie. Well, the forehead kiss sets Blair off and she literally

A few brave readers have shared their dating confessions, including "We decided to get married after dating for a week" and "My ex made me pay more for toilet paper."

Well, I got the funniest email today from reader Cecilia. Check this out...

Here's Cecilia's story:

My boyfriend loves loves LOVES my armpits. Every time he gets a chance, he grabs my arm, lifts it up and smells my armpit and kisses it. It might sound weird, but it actually feels really good. There's not a single day that passes by without him smelling and kissing my armpits. I can even tell his facial expression for when he wants to do that, so I just put one of my arms up so he can smell them. He makes a happy spoiled kiddo face every time.

When I ask him why he likes it, he says he likes every part of me, and that includes armpits, and that he really likes that I smell really good all the time. And he has been doing this for about 3 years now. Is it too weird? I really like that about him and I think

The candles are flickering. Your boyfriend kisses you. You climb into bed and pull each other's clothes off. He kisses your neck, you breathe in his ear, he tells you he loves you; things are definitely heating up. And...freeze! What are you thinking about?

Here's a funny slideshow of 10 things guys are thinking about during sex.

And I was chatting with my girl friends recently about what we think about during sex. Here's a little list:

* Beards.
* Nakedness.
* Our thighs, stomachs, backs, zits.
* His size.
* 'This feels good.'
* 'This feels really good.'
* 'Does it feel good for him?'
* 'His hand is on my hair.'
* 'What should we have for dinner?'
* 'What's on TV tonight?'
* 'Do I smell OK?'
* Shoes.
* Work.
* 30 Rock.
* 'Is that the cat?'
* 'I love him.'

Tell me, my dolls: What do you think about when you're hooking up? Does your mind ever wander? Do you have specific thoughts or are you more in

I'm not talking a grocery list or a to-do list. I'm talking a how-many-people-I've-slept-with kind of list. Someone on Gossip Girl did last night, and (surprise!) it wasn't Serena or Blair. A bit of a spoiler alert here, so don't say I didn't warn you…

On last night's episode of Gossip Girl, Blair (Leighton Meester) is on a bad-girl rampage, Serena (Blake Lively) is on damage control and as for Serena's mother, Lily…well, she's making a sex list. (Yeah, you read that right.)

Do you know the 10 things he's thinking when he's having sex?

It all starts when Lily finds out that her pretty art dealer used to date Rufus, Lily's current boyfriend. Lily gets a little jealous, confronts Rufus and the whole thing escalates into each of them writing down exactly who they've slept with in years past, so they can swap lists.

Bad idea.

Turns out that despite being in an '80s rock band, Rufus wasn't bedding groupies. (Don't know how realistic that is, but it's a fictional TV

Feeling brave? This reader had our most awkward sexual experience yet...

Here's her story:

Growing up, I was wildly inexperienced sexually. I had lots of guy friends, and I had crushes on guys, but I didn't even kiss anyone until I was out of college. So I was living in Chicago and started falling in love with a close guy friend. He was so wonderful in every way. And, to my amazement and happiness, he told me one day that he liked me, too!

We went on a bunch of dates, and everything was blissful. The only catch was that I was really nervous about hooking up. I felt like didn't know how. And since I was 24, I thought I should know. I had asked my best friend how to give a ----- , and she told me it was easy and natural. "You just move your hand up and down," she said. "It will feel right in the moment." Ok, got it.

One night soon afterward, we ended up back at his house. We started kissing, and then we moved

I had dinner a few weeks ago with genius wedding expert Jen Napier, and something she said about wedding-night sex really surprised me…

She said many of her readers (she works for a wedding site called OneWed.com) ask her for advice on doing the deed on the big day. Here's what she had to say:

"Your wedding night is supposed to be special. Memorable. Even a little magical. But many of us are far from being virginal brides, and while marriage may be uncharted territory, the sex is often familiar terrain. So how do you make what is supposed to be such a special night feel like the first time all over again? For some couples, it's a pre-wedding sex break.

Do you know the 10 things he's thinking when he's having sex?

While abstinence sounds like the opposite of sexy, it can actually have the desired effect. In the days, weeks or even months leading up to your wedding, consider taking a vacation from sex…ensuring the honeymoon is even more satisfying.

There are, however,

A few readers have shared their true confessions, such as "My boyfriend has no friends" and "When I visit my parents, I sleep in their bed."

Today, a woman reveals that she has always wanted a gay son...

Judith Newman has two young sons, Henry and Gus. (Cute names, right?) She adores them madly, but as she wrote this month for Cookie Magazine, she just has one pang of regret: She wishes one of them were gay.

"I don't mean to stereotype," she says. "Maybe with a gay boy I wouldn't be better dressed and accessorized, and maybe my home wouldn't have exquisite window treatments. But let me ask you one question: Have you ever met a gay man who didn't understand the importance of good lighting? I would always look 10 years younger in my own home."

Read her full story here. It's definitely tongue-in-cheek, but I'd love to hear what you think...

Tell me your thoughts! And fyi, we have a bunch of wonderfully romantic posts about falling in love with people of the same sex,
