Dear Madame X, I suspect that one of my female co-workers might have a crush on me. I think I like her but I’m not sure what to do or if it will get awkward. How do I find out for sure if she likes me? Crushing Dear Crushing, People often say, “Don’t dip your ...
Dear Madame X, My boyfriend seems to have a man-crush on one of his male friends who he really looks up to. They spend tons of time together and he gets all excited and giddy whenever he calls or texts him. Should I be worried? Could he really be in love with his friend? He ...

I’m a Valentine’s Grinch. There, I said it. I don’t understand the obsession with celebrating this holiday and frankly, I refuse to. I wrote a piece on Hallowe’en and my distaste for the way it is often celebrated for the 13 – 35 crowd. Most of it stems from my lack of understanding about why ...
