Just in time for summer:

“I've really never been into giving blow jobs before but...I'm saving the last popsicle in my freezer so that when you get here I can rub it on your dick and then lick all the melty sweet yumminess. I got it bad for you.”

We’re having a debate here in the Nerve offices: do the people (i.e. you) want to see (tastefully, artistic) sexxxy nude pics of UPS delivery workers? Does a man (or women) in uniform turn you on? Looks like we’ve got one yes vote. Seriously: does a uniform up the snoggability factor? Why did I just use the word “snog”? Check out this, and so many other, more interesting questions, at the Nerve Dating Confessions.

Nerve Dating Confession of the Day: “A partner is much more than a lover with fireworks”

Nicole Ankowski — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:45:00 GMT

Editor Peter Smith is in charge of wrangling all those Nerve Dating Confessions into one, (relatively) cohesive entity. He’s seen the heartbreaking, the funny, the painfully awkward, and the downright strange (who needs to wear gloves to bed?). But today he forwarded me the first confession that he has termed “epic”:

March 25 2008, 11:00P
"response to: "Most couples I know (especially the ones who live together) seem to be either bored with each other or at each other's throats all the time. I think most people are terrified of being alone and so will settle for anything in order to avoid that. I'd rather be single than end up like that." >>while that may 'seem' true, no one ever knows what 'is' behind closed doors. you're generalizing-even if some fear being alone. my experience is that instant chemistry can burn fast and furious, and burn out. after living with a couple of girls, that didn't light my fire like some prior, and being married for a solid decade, i can tell you this: at 40, i found myself having reflected on it all.. and the 'honeymoon' period of relationships don't last long-we all know that. LOVE isn't often instant-like oatmeal where you just add water. it's like a plant. i found there are unspoken moments.. one time, after 4 years, i got home and saw my wife with books everywhere, and after a run to home depot, had these goggles on, and was actually sculpting this huge fucking stone.. she had power tools, and hardware all over the living room.. it was her day off, and she didn't hear me walk in with all the noise and the stereo.. i just looked at her quietly.. watching.. looking at her.. her passion.. he being a spontaneous 'doer' and thought.. i'm so fucking lucky to have her. then i recall wanting to go to culinary school and be a chef.. i was bartending full time and couldn't. she said 'do it'! but i said i'd lose my good shifts wheere i made 400 a night.. she said we'll get by. we can set up a budget, and since you'll be cooking for us, you can do it on the cheap and make it taste great. we won't eat out. we'll rent movies instead of theatres. she had my back.. i almost cried-and that's a bold statement, because i have buried family and put down my loving dogs without shedding a tear. but i had a powerful urge. and then, there are the years that pass, job losses, great new jobs, thanksgiving at each other's family once a year out of town, and the things we took up like mountain biking.. you see, a partner is much more than a lover with fireworks, and someone who fucks you even with a headache-just bc you're horny. the way they have your back when you have the flue.. love blooms silly. it's 'moments' in the years that make you feel like you're so damn lucky. it's falling in love with new things you don't own in your own person. silent admiration.. cheap hotel hot fucks in the middle of nowhere. and luxury vacations in 5 star resorts. it's walking the dog together. what people see-arguments in public, and what seems boring-and can be... but it's not that simple. some people are so unrealistic. it's childbirth. and sadly, trading my hot roadster for a more practical vehicle-no i didn't get a minivan, and watching my daughter walk.. i have seen my friends marry twice now, and the ones everyone thought were perfect couples divorced, and the ones 'fighting' or 'bored' as you say, are still together. it's your partner telling you to take a month off and reflect because your parent died. supporting you in ways that let you KNOW that you're not alone, that it's us against this cruel world. i can listen to her complain bc her new boss is a bitch and she's no longer happy there, and return the favor by telling her to quit and find something better-even i we have to use our credit cards to get by. that's powerful. it's certainly more than you know. it's stages of love that grow exponentially. even divorced, it's mad respect and deep admiration-still always on the ready to help. and these things are what make me a guy that almost every commitment phobe girl i met and dated here, wanted. they couldn't quite place it.. maybe my last date felt it when i stayed all night in the ER with her after a minor procedure.. she doesn't know where that comes from, but is awestruck by it-she covets it. but that could not be me without those relationships.. this is learned behavior. sadly, that so many selfish assholes and bitches know nothing about here."

Dating Confession of the Day, Gratuitous Rock of Love 2 Outtakes:

Nicole Ankowski — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Wow. Just…wow. Has anyone else ever had a presumptive, self-congratulatory, post-blowjob snafu? It reminds me of hottie Megan from Rock of Love 2, who sucked face with Bret and then told him, “I know you like me.” (Not sure about sucking more than face; it’s a PG-13 show.) About one hour before he sent her packing. Check out more “wow” moments in the Nerve Dating Confessions.

Megan in a lil’ Episode 9 after-show:

A scintillating look at what the cameramen have to deal with on Rock of Love 2. As in, where to put the mics when all you’re looking at is silicon. Also, more reasons we love Heather, and why they shouldn’t make the girls stand on elevated platforms:

Dating Confession of the Day, 3.19.08:

Nicole Ankowski — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:25:00 GMT

It’s so hard to pick just one! (But who doesn't want to be treated like a princess, and, ahem, other things?) This person got to me, as well:

"I'm an emotional mutant. I've never had a real relationship, and I'm 35. I don't fear that I never will--I simply know I never will. It's just a fact. I truly believe, and always have, that I am simply not meant to be in a relationship."

Can you relate? Or do you agree with this response: "Dear Emotional Mutant, You're not incapable you're just afraid." Join the discussion here.

Dating Confession of the Day, 2.25.08:

Nicole Ankowski — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:38:00 GMT

"I haven't had sex for a year and a half because every time I even go out on a date, I find myself still wishing it was you, and I just have no interest in being there. I'm not capable of meaningless sex, so I'd rather be celibate. God, I would give anything to be over you. I fear I'll be in love with you forever. I wonder if I'll ever love anyone else again, or have sex with anyone else again."

If you haven’t yet checked out the Nerve Dating Confessions, you’ll want to dive right in. It’s kind of like Catholic confession, except that there are no priests (we, um, hope?) and instead of kneeling and awaiting your penance…you get to take a sneak peek into the hearts and souls (and libidos) of your fellow daring daters…

Favorite confession of the day?

"My heart wants to be monogamous, my body wants a f*ck buffet."

Aw, can you relate? Let us know at the Nerve Dating Confessions.

Dating Confessions of the Day, 2.14.08

Nicole Ankowski — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:46:00 GMT

Today is not the ideal day to make confessions to your lover, unless they’re of the “I yearn for your golden/chocolate/pale-as-milk thighs” kinda crap. But it’s easy to make Nerve Dating Confessions. Not to mention that you also get to see how many people can relate (“I got mad at my husband for flirting with girls online... but I do it all the time. Hey, I'm only 25.”) and how many can’t relate (“He yelled NO and took off all his clothes”). Here are a few recent highlights…

Some people are succinct: "I've used shampoo as a lubricant. Stung like a motherf*cker."

Some are not…this guy wrote 1,008 words. Twenty-six of them include: “I mean, how many times can you watch ‘Annie Hall’ with someone new, and pretend to find it funny anymore? That’s really the ultimate metaphysical question.”

Most people could relate…Cleanse your dating soul, right here.

New on Nerve, 2.12.08: The Nerve Dating Confessions

Nicole Ankowski — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 22:30:00 GMT

One of my favorite things to do with old friends is get together, get a drink, and hear about their ridiculous dating escapades. (Sure, I add in a few of my own…) So I’m loving our brand-spankin’-new Nerve Dating Confessions…It’s like a tell-all confessional, no penance required.

Here’s how it works: Confess something, anything you like, about your dating life. Hit "submit." That’s it! Easy, sexy, and so much fun. Here’s a recent highlight:

“A few years ago I got a call from a friend who said, ‘I just quit my job [as a magazine editor in New York], rented a car, and I am driving at 90 miles per hour towards Cincinnati. I am driving straight to a bar to meet a girl I met on Nerve personals. Tomorrow I am hitting Chicago for another date with another girl. I am f----ing my way across the country.’”
