Having boy problems?
Tomorrow I’ll be asking some of the bros of Sigma Phi Epsilon, more commonly known around these parts as Sig Ep, questions on love, dating, and hook-ups in order to get all of you ready for Valentine’s Day.
If you want to find out what that guy meant by the text he sent you at 3 a.m. last night, submit the message to our Google Doc, along with a little bit of background information. We’ll choose our favorites and find out if they think you’re his Alma Mater or his Almost-Doesn’t-Matter.
FAQ on dating at Columbia
Inspired by the feature on love at Columbia in The Canon last week, this week’s Just Ask Sara will answer the questions and complaints on dating and love that I hear from my friends constantly:
How can I get into a relationship?
Step one is to find somebody to be in a relationship with (if you’ve got someone in mind, keep reading, otherwise skip down to meeting people in the next section).
Step two is making them realize that you actually want to be in a relationship with them. This is usually the hard part, since everybody wants to seem subtle and mysterious and stuff.
If you know the person pretty well/are in the “Are we friends? More than friends? Stars of a future romantic comedy?” stage:
1. Ask him/her on a date. Stop trying to be mysterious and scared, get your act together, and ask him/her already.
2. If it goes well, kiss them bye (gotta leave something to the imagination) and text them a bit that week. Ask them to do something else the next weekend. More »
Is she into you?
In this week’s Just Ask Sara, I answer my first set of questions on dancing, UFOs, friends with benefits, and someone who has inspired me to write She’s Just Not That Into You.
In this day and age of high resolution 1080p video recording on our phones and digital cameras, why are UFO videos still grainy and blurry?
–PastInsidePresent
Dearest PastInsidePresent,
Because Bigfoot has very shaky hands and the iPhone 5 is very large, so it is difficult for him/her to hold it still enough to get a good shot. Bigfoot also has a real fondness for Instagram so that sometimes distorts the photos.
So I currently have a fuck buddy (excuse my language) who’s amazing, but last night a gorgeous (different) girl offered a similar relationship. Is it immoral to have two sex buddies?

Just Ask Emily: Missed Connections
After turning her column over to Lanbo for April 1st, Emily is back. She’s glad you all enjoyed the guest blogger (less glad that some of you strongly preferred him to her even though she’s been slaving away over a hot laptop churning out advice like butter for you all year, but she digresses), and reminds you that you can submit questions, comments, concerns, and queries right here. And now, in this weeks’ installment of Just Ask Emily, one reader looks for meaningful relationships with professors, and one looks for a meaningful relationship of another kind.
Dear Emily,
How do I make more meaningful connections with my professors?
Sincerely,
