By Kimberly Wharton So I’m on this online dating site where the only pre-requisite for ‘matching’ is based on whether or not you have a car.

Friday’s Fashion Dating Do or Don’t? — Hawaiian Shirts…
By Juliette McGough Listen up men. Hawaiian shirts have never been cool. And if you are trying to impress a woman on a date do not, I repeat, do not wear one. Not only will a Hawaiian shirt age a man ten years (and place him into friend territory) but it also disqualifies him from [...]
