HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well were gettin set for another snow storm!!!! Weatherforyou.com is sayin 3-6 inches....be careful out there when it starts!

Here's what is happening today!

DATING VS. HANGING OUT

As much as people don't like to get too formal with dating too soon, a study out of the University of Virginia found that a vast majority of people prefer traditional dating to the super casual hook-up scene.

It goes on to say that, at this point, asking someone out to dinner will yield FAR more dividends than asking them to "hang out."

Just Asking ... Do you prefer to keep dating super casual or step up the formalities? How many hangouts until you start calling it a "date"? Who tries to pump the brakes more on labeling something as "dating" -- you or the guy?

TRANSLATING "GUY SPEAK"

Men and women speak very different languages. Here is a cheat sheet for translating some common guyisms ...

• He says, "I'll call you"
• He means, "I may call you" (IF he's into you!).

• He says, "I've been busy lately."
• He means, "I've lost interest in you" or (if you've been dating 6 months or longer) "I like you, but I need to focus on other things."

• He says, "I need some space."
• He means, "We're moving way too fast."

• He says, "I love being with you"
• He means, "I love you ... I think."

• He says, "I don't believe in marriage."
• He means, "I'm not going to marry you."

THE WORST MOVIES TO WATCH ON A DATE

Congratulations! You finally got that girl from your English class to agree to come to your place and watch a movie with you. The most important decision is, of course, which movie to watch.

According to HolyTaco.com, here are some movies you definitely do NOT want to watch with her -- if you're gunning to get a second date:

• Leaving Las Vegas -- Nicolas Cage tries to drink himself to death while hanging out with a prostitute.
• It -- Good luck scoring after watching a Stephen King movie about a terrifying clown with sharp teeth.
• Requiem For a Dream -- Where's the romance in a movie about the dark perils of drug addiction?
• Marley and Me - Spoiler alert: The dog dies at the end. Having a sad girl on your couch at the end of the night is not a good thing.
• Schindler's List -- The no brainer.
