I grew up with out a dad since he passed away when I was six so I know the importance of one.  However, now that my mom is on husband number four marriage doesn't always offer the stability that a child needs.  However, I have to say that if you choose to have a child without the father knowing then you shouldn't be asking for child support. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:38:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Douchebag Math, or Player Population Control</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/12/08/hookinguprealities/douchebag-math-or-player-population-control/#comment-25434441</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I did thank him at the hosptial and later when I arrived home.  I couldn't have imagined being there all alone.  I am still working on getting my full strength back so we shall see what happens.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:38:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Douchebag Math, or Player Population Control</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/12/08/hookinguprealities/douchebag-math-or-player-population-control/#comment-25363273</link><description>&lt;p&gt;So I figured out this week that I found a dad.  I was in accident on Monday. I am doing fine but one guy friend spent two nights with me at the hospital while other girl/guy friends came to just visit. He stayed in the chair next to my bed, worked from the hospital, and even bought me flowers.  I realize that I shouldn't let a guy like this go.  He has never done anything to make it seem like he wants to be more than friends. I would think he would do this for any friend. So how do I let this guy not slip through the cracks?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:33:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: An American Virgin: Goddess or Circus Freak?</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/11/30/hookinguprealities/an-american-virgin-goddess-or-circus-freak/#comment-24348811</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I didn't lose my virginity until I was 27.  I actually have three other girlfriends who waited as well.  There are more virgins out there than people realize. I didn't tell anyone since I didn't want to be judged for my decision.  I didn't date much in college and then became a serial dater after college.  I wanted to wait until I was in love.  Which didn't happen for me until my mid twenties. I didn't tell the guy I was with at the the time that I was a virgin so I am not sure what kind of reaction I would have gotten. I am glad I waited since I am more comfortable and confident with my body now than when I was 17. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:30:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: How Women Wind Up Alone With a House Full of Cats</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/10/26/relationshipstrategies/how-women-wind-up-alone-with-a-house-full-of-cats/#comment-21117349</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I live in DC and we have a similar column called Date Lab.  The one thing people say over and over again is that they don't feel the chemistry.  I am not sure how you measure that right away. I always thought of a date as hey I am getting to know you a little better to see if I want to know you a little more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/16/AR2009101601706.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/16/AR2009101601706.html"&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.c...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest one.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:02:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stop Putting Out for Alpha Asshats</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/10/02/hookinguprealities/stop-putting-out-for-alpha-asshats/#comment-18573267</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Susan,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to thank you for all the hours that you put into this blog.  I am in my late twenties and still face much of the hook up culture.   I was in sub par relationship with someone I am still crazy about and it was not until I started reading your blog I realized that I deserved better.  It has been hard and lonely at times since I now started turning down asshats and hookups but thanks to you I am okay with holding out for quality. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:00:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Gripping, Gratifying Glee</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/09/03/tidbits/gripping-gratifying-glee/#comment-15972941</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I caught the show on a random night at home and I was hooked.

Maybe getting dumbed or breaking up (I know from experience it hurt just as much) with the rat bastard is karma's way of showing you there is something much better out there for you. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">renu</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:46:34 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
