The Gaggle
Someone give the Bachelorette producers an Emmy, please. Ten Emmys. Actually, let’s just cancel the entire Emmy telecast and send the whole truck full of winged atom statuettes to the producers’ houses. Throw in a few Grammys and a Tony, too, while you’re at it. Why am I, the most cynical of Bachelorette viewers, demanding [...]
Ohhhhhh, we’ve all been there. You know two guys from the same setting – your workplace, your dorm, your soccer team, your favorite local band, etc. You really like one, but you have fun with the other one too, and while you’re trying to figure out what to do about the first one, you have [...]
Say what you want about The New York Times – that their website sucks, they they have a tendency to victimize and scare the crap out of single women, that they totally misunderstand the Millennial generation and wrongfully pick lazy, privileged, upper-middle class slackers to represent us as a whole (don’t even get me started [...]
Dear Jess, I shared a cigarette with a guy at work yesterday, and now I feel really guilty about it. I’ve been in a relationship for over a year and I love my boyfriend. Am I an asshole? Why didn’t I see this coming? The other guy was obviously trying to get close to me…I [...]
Hey Jess, I just tricked a Hot Sex Prospect – who was also a Girl Who Just Blew Me Off like three years ago – into going out with me tonight. How should I proceed? Remember you’re advising an idiot, so please simplify things for me. Thanks! Idiot With A Second Chance To Score
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF4S49fpdoY&feature=related Welcome back to our sorta-bi-weekly-seasonal-annual-whenever-I’m-in-the-mood Bachelorette recaps! And boy, oh boy, what a tumultuous few weeks it’s been. Remember in my last recap, when I said that “the beauty of the gaggle” is that “the guys, and the roles they play, are constantly rotating and evolving, based on your interactions with them?” (when did [...]
The guy who knows you best, eliciting a combination of fond memories and frustrating emotions. For better or worse, he’s on a first-name basis with almost everyone in your life and understands what a pain your mother can be. Read about more guys who may be in your gaggle… The Ex-Boyfriend Who’s Still Around The [...]
In case you missed it (even though I know you didn’t, because you became my fan and signed up to receive email alerts whenever I put up a new article, right? you’re not playing hard to get…right?), the latest Huffington Post piece went up yesterday: Forget Dating: The Guys You’ll Meet on the New Path [...]
Dear Jess, Here’s the skinny. I started a new job with these two guys who are friends. I really liked Guy A, who flirted with me from the start. But I was working very closely with Guy B. One night we all hung out, and of course we started drinking. Guy A confessed that he [...]
At long last (it took TWO whole articles, seriously!), we’ve finally introduced the gaggle concept on The Huffington Post. It’s an exciting day! Hoping to catch up on all things gaggle? You’ve come to the right place.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBo-O0OT0yw Once upon a time, I promised to blog about the latest season of The Bachelorette on a weekly basis. I was truly committed to doing this, especially after getting so much feedback and discovering that I am not the only one who is (not-so-)secretly following The Extensioned One’s search for love. But then, other [...]
Here’s a special Ask Jess column to ponder as we roll into the weekend! Another query from a confused, world-weary boy (I promise, the next one will come from a girl…I hear you, ladies!). —– Hey Jess, I just tricked a Hot Sex Prospect – who was also a Girl Who Just Blew Me Off [...]
