JoE

Sitting as the founder of SoYouHaveAGirlfriend.com he realized, that, while he may not have the best advice to offer…the friends that surround him do. And if they don’t…at least it’s funny.

Your stereotypical Leo and complete hopeless romantic, JoE lives by the thought that life is a movie. Some people just say that as an expression, JoE ACTUALLY thinks it everyday. He’ll try his damnedest to hide it, but he’s a total chick flick guy too. He thinks that just because he owns Sopranos on DVD, it cancels out the fact that he also owns Gilmore Girls on DVD. Go ahead…ask him!

He’s had the long term relationships, the short term relationships, the weird awkward parts where you break-up, but then you keep seeing each other. The extended “introductory” periods with no official title. Went as far one time to buy a ring for a girl thinking he had the love of his life. That uhh…yeah, that…didn’t…really…end up…working out.

For all his weaknesses though, he’s really good at not being creepy. He’s got a knack for people. Knows how to talk to ‘em, how to keep things interesting. Thrives off of being the center of attention….well, taking the center of attention away from someone/something. Give him attention, and he’ll just freeze up and stare at you awkwardly.

Dr. Barbarella

I just want to clear up any rumors … I am not socrates, perhaps I was long ago, but it’s highly unlikely. Okeedokee, so about me … hrmmm. We’ll make it easy, top three things of all time … bacon, red wine, and the way a pine tree makes a room smell during christmas. It’s the simple things dude, get with it. When properly motivated, my logic is borderline undeniable (borderline, like how I gave my self a little leeway … so smart … maybe i was socrates … i wonder if he loved bacon?)

Vince (VC)

Hi, my name is Vince and I am an official member of “So You Have a Girlfriend”…so that’s that.

Why should you take advice from me?  Because you’re already on the Internet looking to salvage your relationship, what’s one more kick in the nuts?  You might as well try what I have to say!

I really have no business telling anybody anything because it seems to me that people only want the advice that they’re looking to hear.  So, what good is my honest opinion going to do for you?  Unless…you’re ready to hear that you’re being a jealous douche!  You’re ready to hear that you’re lousy in bed!  You’re ready to hear that you probably should’ve been tested yesterday!  If you’re not ready for that, then I’m not ready for you! I’m not a pessimist, I’m a realist…I won’t sugar coat it, I won’t brown nose you, I won’t brighten up your day, and I won’t turn your frown upside down…I’ll just give you honest advice that I probably wouldn’t follow if I was in your situation!  You could end up a hero or a zero, the advice is mine – the choice is yours!

Nicole

“So You Have A Girlfriend.com”….come on lets face it, this basically says “Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus”…right?!?

Sure, we’ve all had our share of randoms, stage five clingers, one night stands, and Mr. McCreeperton’s- but its all about the experience. Its what you’ve learned, wished you’d forget, and the countless expensive prescriptions to help clear up that so called “rash”.

Theres no sugar coating, fine print, violin serenades, or caution tape tape here…

Nick

Nick is a (somewhat?) single investment professional who moonlights as a rockstar/party animal/aficionado of all things sex.  For as out of control as he may sound, he definitely has his priorities in check…most of the time at least (insert evil super villain laugh here).  Coming from humble beginnings in Chicago’s suburbia and learning valuable lessons about dating and relationships along the way has helped shape him into the person he is today: a somewhat cynical, overly analytical, always playful, 28 year old single father…to a collie-lab pup…and no, I’m not THAT freaky you sick, sick monkey you!

Having gone through the worst of the worst when it came to relationships really opened his eyes to what the most important variable in the dating equation is: YOURSELF!(DON’T WORRY…this will all be discussed in depth in future blogs prior to your final exam).  Needless to say, Nick could not be happier in his current spot in life: great job, great family, great friends, and great [almost?] relationhip (more on this later as well).

He’s definitely looking forward to helping out those in search of answers when it comes to the R word.  Hopefully, through this .com journey down dating boulevard, everyone (including the author!) will learn just a little bit more about relationships, the opposite sex, and themselves…
