Going to your boyfriend or girlfriend's Passover celebrations for the first time? Here are 10 things you need to know.
By Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe

If you're dating someone Jewish, there's a good possibility that you'll be invited to his or her family's Passover celebration. This is awesome for you: not only will you get to get in good with the family, but you'll get to eat a lot of delicious food, as well! (Oh - and share in a religious celebration that is meaningful to your significant other, etc., etc.)
Of course, attending a religious event that's unfamiliar to you can be stressful, especially when you're worried about making a good impression on your boyfriend or girlfriend's family. Here are some tips that will ensure that it all goes smoothly.
1. Dress Nicely!
Passover is a big deal, so dress nicely (and conservatively!) when you show up for dinner. You also might want to ask your significant other how his or her family feels about modesty.

At the beginning of a relationship, do a cost/benefit analysis, and then stop bitching.

By Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you meet someone, you're attracted to them, but, but, but. He's too short for you. She's way too conservative. His use of emoticons concerns you. She seemspretty attached to her cat.

These things aren't dealbreakers, per se, but they're things you notice, things you sort of worry about, things that make you wonder if maybe, despite your attraction and your compatibility and the fact that you're having a good time, you should just throw this fish back in the sea.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love condoms but they just aren't Star Wars-y enough for me. Thank goodness Italian designer Benedetto Papi crawled into my brain, unlocked the secrets to my sex fantasies, and turned it all into a reality with these Star Wars condom designs.

We could all use a refresher on being better in bed.

By Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe

Men's Fitness has a post today called "5 Sex Moves You Think She Likes, But Doesn't," which was refreshing to see after last week's infamous Esquire essayon why women aren't as good as they think (at pleasing men) in bed.

As a result, some scientists believe that female cyclists probably are at similar risk for sexual problems as male riders." The 2012 studyfocuses on whether there are specific factors that influence soreness and numbness among female riders. (Thanks for racing to that one, researchers. We've been waiting. Pins and needles.)

By Dave K. For HowAboutWe

So I'm sure your new boyfriend is really nice and all, but he might be a hipster. Or not - it can be hard to tell. "Hipster" has become such a broad, general term that most people aren't really sure how to define it anymore.
