This is without a doubt a difficult situation to be in: everyone looking at you, repulsion in their eyes as they assume you’re publicly watching porn for all to hear, without a care in the world.
Dear Di
I ate tuna four days in a row this week, but that’s for my roommates to know, for people to read about only under the safety of a pseudonym, and for my crushes to be deliberately obstructed from discovering.
Disclose that which you have but don’t say, “Oh, god. Oh, god. It burns. It burns so bad, deep in the marrow of my bones.”
We barely broke double digits in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines and it was barely ten p.m. on New Year’s Eve when our neighbours knocked on our door complaining about the barely-there noise — have a heart, man.
The phrase, “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all,” was first said to a political science student who had one too many controversial opinions in a crowded 8:30 a.m. Montpetit lecture hall
I will always pick the funny and sweet guy over the cool and interesting one.
If you’re playing “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke on the first date, there simply will not be a second.
Since leaving my high school, I’ve been startled by the middle-school-dance-style line in the sand between men and women.

He licked my teeth. Like, not just once. Once could have been an accident, I guess. Thinking it was a silly little misunderstanding, I laughed. Alas, it was not. This guy seemed determined in his teeth-licking pursuit.
I don’t think I would say that that’s a normal dating app experience, but it’s definitely far from the worst…
I’ve been dating a guy for a couple months and it’s been going really well… until he found my ‘hit list’. I know it’s kind of weird, but I keep a list of all the guys I’ve had sex with. Their names, dates, ranking, that kind of stuff. He found it.
Hold on to your hat, cowboy — things may get messy.
The good news is: chlamydia is highly treatable, so it’s good you caught it early. Your Oakville WAP is going to be just fine (and you’ll probably be better by Reading Week).

What makes it even worse is that his favourite porn star looks nothing like me!
Tag a pillow princess.
Last week I matched with this person on a dating app and they are clearly out of my league but want to hook up. I am hesitant as this person is not in my bubble and there is a chance I contract COVID-19 from them. I was wondering if wearing masks and even sunglasses or goggles while we have sex will eliminate the risk of transmission?
All of my friends are in happy, serious, committed relationships… Do I need to be in a serious relationship right now? Am I behind?
Di Daniels is the longest standing Fulcrum employee — and it’s not even close. Some current Fulcrum employees were born after she was first hired.
Asserting dominance does not just start in the bedroom, it’s a process.
He is only attracted to narcissistic ‘queens’ on the show, what does that say about me?
