relationships

David Meagher says "the thing about social media is often people hide behind the anonymity of it...[they] say and do things they wouldn't in normal life."

After many conversations, one of the things I hear most often from my women friends is "why can't he just talk to me like a normal person--like just say hello."

This is the biggest online dating week of the year, with a fresh new crop of people looking for love. Not all of them are putting emphasis on the importance of a good profile pic. Surely you can add to this list of pet peeves!

If you want to cut the alcohol and really remember that first date, we've got some alcohol-free summer date ideas that will definitely be memorable enough to lead to date number two.

This will be a fun and festive weekend full of parties, beads, and green beer, and it can only be ruined by one thing. Dumb pickup lines! Prepare yourself for these doozies, and don't use 'em if you want to have any chance of moving into someone else's personal space.

The reliance on GPS is destroying our brains.  Some of us have become incapable of driving anywhere without the aid of technology and sometimes this means we're driving five miles out of our way just because a handy gadget told us to.  Are we trusting GPS too much?

If you don't get your stuff back before  you break up, you might be finding it at the Goodwill Lufkin. Valentine's Day is a good time to purge memories of the ex, and one way to do that is to dump the stuff off at a Lufkin-Diboll-Nacogdoches Goodwill location. Lots of relationship leftovers will be donated, and Goodwill loves the idea.

Lufkin offers glass recycling now.  But if statistics are any indication, guys probably aren't going to do it, because being green undermines their ability to feel macho.  Really?  Does going green make you feel like a wimp?

Some say the craft beer industry caters to men, and that the industry should work on attracting a more diverse fan base.  Does it really matter?  We wonder what East Texas craft brewers think.

Texas' own Chip and Joanna Gaines have that wildly successful show on HGTV called Fixer Upper, and their empire is continuing to grow with a new project this fall. We've seen Tarek and Christina (Flip or Flop) and other happy couples work on home improvements together, and they just might be helping us stumble upon the secret to marriage success.

On Father's Day weekend, one dad paid $900 for a full-page ad in a newspaper to find his son a wife.  Without his consent!  See which paper ran the ad, and could this craziness ever happen in Texas?

That Sadie Hawkins Day is coming up, when women traditionally pop the question instead of the guy.  What are the odds that guys will say yes?
