The Very Best of 2010

Z-Note: I've been blogging since July, and the posts in 2010 have really helped me clarify problems and uncover the deep mysteries of relationships and guys. 
I hope they have helped you, too. 

According to the stats, here are the Top 8 posts of 2010: 


1. Sexual Tension: "As usual, there's this guy you don't want to fall in love with. He's wrong for you in all the right ways. But you can't resist seeing him..."

2. 5 Reasons Why You Giggle (When Nothing Funny Has Been Said): "Picture yourself and a guy that you like. You are having a really great conversation with him and then, there it is: the lull, the awkward silence--whatever you want to call it. It happens during the best discussions. No one is talking, so what do you do?..."

3. 10 Ways To Stop Missing Him: "All the time, people say, “Move on. He’s causing you pain? Let him go.” But we all know it’s not that simple when you’re the one struggling. Hopefully, this post will help any girl who’s still in love with someone they need to get over..."

4. He Flirts With EVERYBODY: "He comes up to you prepared with the pick-up-line or conversation starter of the day. You’re used to him—he’s overfriendly, but cute in his own, pushy, flirty way. You want to be flattered. You feel somewhat special that he spends his time thinking of clever things to say to you. This particular morning, he’s making fun of you. That’s your “thing”. The two of you playfully tease each other about anything and everything..."

5. The Sad Puppy: "There’s this guy you don’t want to like, but there are aspects of his life story that are just so sad. You know that you should not be with him romantically. He has issues. But once you learn where they are derived from, it’s hard not to feel like: You poor thing, I understand..."

6. 5 Signs Of An Over-Analyzer Who Takes The Most Trivial Things To Heart: "Have you ever gotten mad at somebody for not responding to your wall post? I mean, actually mad. You even told a friend about it. You ranted about it. You held a grudge over it. You vowed to never write on this person’s wall ever again. If this non-responsive, irresponsible person is somebody you like, you might be scaring him away before you even have the chance to fall in love..."

7. Afraid To Be Happy: "Many times, we’re afraid to be too happy because it’s uncharted territory. Few people can say they’ve entirely explored happiness to the fullest. We place this emotion on such a pedestal that half the time; we don’t believe we deserve it. So, when we do find the smallest inkling of contentment or success, we run away in the opposite direction. Or we find ways to sabotage this ounce of happiness from coming to fruition..."

8. The Douchebag:  "You’ll still see the signs and ignore them. You’ll know the rules and break them. There have been countless times when I’ve fallen for someone I shouldn’t have. We see the signs. We know the rules. And yet we choose to ignore them for various reasons deriving from severe loneliness to just wanting a boyfriend. The three easiest signs to identify are also the easiest to overlook..."



I am more than ready to say, "Hello" to 2011. Expect some more of the same, but a whole lot of changes, too. Remember: change is good. It's how we learn!



Love,
