The latest news in Hollywood is Britney Spears and Jason Trawick’s somewhat long-anticipated breakup. The couple met when Trawick was Brit-Brit’s talent agent, and he gradually transitioned to her beau post-Keven Federline divorce. The two had been engaged for just over a year, and we presume one of their resolutions must have been to start off 2013 single.

What does your love life have in common with the love lives of the characters in classic, century-old literary novels? Some of you may be thinking back to your high school and college reading lists when you dreaded those 500-plus page novels assigned to you by an outdated teacher or professor. There couldn’t possibly be any similarities between you and those fictional characters, right? Two book lovers and advice columnists challenge that notion. In their new collaborative book, Much Ado About Loving: What Our Favorite Novels Can Teach You About Date Expectations, Not So-Great Gatsbys, and Love in the Time of Internet Personals, authors Jack Murnighan and Maura Kelly address today’s relationship issues, apply them to the plots and character traits of classic novels and suggest ways that their readers can learn from these stories.

Tired of being cooped up all winter? Refresh everything you learned in college acting class by pretending to be someone you’re not. Dress up with your honey and have the time of your life revitalizing your imagination.
Search for nightclubs having costume parties and spend the night dancing in your babe’s arms dressed as the king and queen of the ball. Many city nightclubs have themed nights, such as sci-fi, masquerade, 80’s attire, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ or even ‘Twilight.’ Club Oberon in Boston has a weekly “Donkey Show”: while their dance party rages on, a subtle re-enactment of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is performed around the club. Additionally, Marquee in Manhattan throws a European party every Friday, celebrating the party cultures of different European nations. …Don’t miss the rest! Click here for more.

What qualities does a woman desire most in a man? Confidence? Humor? Good looks? No, what a woman wants from the man she is dating is for him to behave like a gentleman.

Selena Gomez made several references to moving on from a breakup during a private UNICEF benefit concert on Jan. 19, according to a People source who attended the event. Gomez performed an acoustic cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River,” which recent ex Justin Bieber had done in concert a few months before. She “seemed so angry” during the song, the source reports. Gomez told the crowd that she’d “been through a lot the past few months. It’s been weird and sad and cool.”

Stay away from a boring date night this weekend and go on a spontaneous road trip with your partner by hopping in the car and driving with no plans in place.
Start off in your town, exploring neighborhoods you’ve never seen and finding restaurants, cafes or other niche spots for future dates together. Then, take it one step further: skip the highway and take a back road to somewhere random on the map, maybe a nearby town or a tourist attraction that you’ve been meaning to see. Don’t forget to bring a camera so the two of you will always remember the places that you visited.

Lovers cannot be friends until both parties have a new lover. Many factors come into play with regards as to whether you can remain friends with a former loved one.
Did the relationship end on good or bad terms? If the two of you merely grew apart and perhaps the physical intimacy died in the relationship, then you may have already started developing a friendship within the relationship. It is far easier to continue an already-established friendship post-breakup. However, if one of the parties did something immoral or unethical and hurt the other one deeply, the chances are certainly much slimmer. …Don’t miss the rest! Click here for more.

That’s why we all like him best.” His outlandish behavior has scored him the throne of the most eligible behavior. According to People, Harry surpassed 39 other men, including George Clooney and Connor Kennedy.

Escape the cold winter months and bring the beach to you. Have your own island getaway by planning a romantic and private stay-cation.
The first step for this amazing date weekend is to crank up the heat in your house. Forget about how chilly it is outside by keeping your thermostat set to summer temperatures. You and your sweetheart can pretend you’re on the beach while lounging around in each other’s arms, blasting Bob Marley and dreaming of the sunshine.

Taylor Swift has been splashed across almost every magazine in the past few weeks, telling story after story about yet another failed relationship and her tendency to get over someone by getting “under” someone new. The twenty-something country crooner is beautiful and successful, but it seems she can’t break the three-month relationship cycle.
Perhaps it’s because she has a “broken picker,” or maybe it’s just that she’s 22 years old and has no idea what she really wants. Whatever the case, Swift is repeating the same mistakes in each and every relationship. Her romantic trysts are unable to move past the infant stage. With actors and boy-banders alike (even a Kennedy!), the songstress dives in head-first each time — and comes out like a drowned rat within a few months. …On the edge of your seat?

The 90210 alumna split from husband Peter Facinelli in March. “When I’m in excruciating pain, like with what I’ve been through with my breakup and that grief and loss that’s just immobilizing, it helps to remember that it only lasts for 13 to 15 minutes, max,” she told Health it its January issue. What is Garth looking for now? “I like positive energy.”

Question from Ashley G.: My boyfriend and I live about 100 miles apart. We’re both really busy people, so most days, the most we talk is just a text saying “Hi, I love you and hope you had a good day.” My roommate thinks this is ridiculous and says we’re not in a real relationship. Is it okay if my boyfriend and I only text each other instead of calling?
