Valentine’s Dilemma
Sunday, February 6th, 2011Dear English Gentleman,
It is shortly Valentine’s Day and since our one-year anniversary will coincide with this very romantic date, I want to buy my girlfriend a set of super sexy lingerie.

Love Transactions
Monday, September 20th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,

All Laddered Up
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
There’s this woman in my PhD program that I like. She’s in my same research group and we often spend a lot of time together outside the lab, sharing lunches with the other PhD students or going to some university talk or event or whatever, so we’ve become good friends.
