Do or Don't: Bringing Outside Food/Drink Into a Restaurant
Last week, New York Times critic Frank Bruni broached the question of whether it's kosher to bring outside food or drink into restaurants. I've noticed at some places — most recently at a popular neighborhood coffeehouse — that a growing number of establishments have barred customers from bringing items (such as water) inside. Bruni cited an example of a friend getting turned away from brunch at a New York diner for arriving with a Starbucks coffee in hand, and argued in favor of the establishment.
Do or Don't: Putting Your Napkin on the Plate?
Yesterday DearSugar and I got into a debate about what you should do with your napkin when finished eating a meal. She said it was tacky and rude to put your napkin on the plate, but I told her I've done it before. What do you think?

A Do or a Don't: Dating a Family Friend
Getting romantically involved with a friend can be tricky, but dating a family friend can be even more complicated. Yes, if things work out it would have been well worth the risk, but if they don't, things could get incredibly awkward for everyone involved — you can't really avoid those close to your family!
I know you can't really help who you fall for, but tell me, is getting involved with a family friend a do or a don't?
A Do or a Don't: Public Proposals
Getting engaged is a very special right of passage between two people who love each other, and choosing where to take that next step in your relationship is something that usually takes a lot of thought and planning. When the time comes for me to get engaged, I'd want my boyfriend to ask me someplace private so we can share that intimate moment together, just the two of us, but I know that some women really enjoy a more public profession of love. No one way is better than the other, so tell me, do you think public proposals are a do or a don't?
A Do or a Don't: Male Plastic Surgery
No matter where you turn, you can't escape photos from the Oscars. I love seeing what the stars wore and how they looked, but one person I can't keep my eyes off of is Mickey Rourke, who has clearly had some work done!
As double standards go, plastic surgery is typically thought of as a female desire, but men have definitely jumped on the Botox, face-lift, even liposuction bandwagon too.
A Do or a Don't: Buying Condoms in Bulk
In this economy, saving money where you can is a no-brainer, which is why buying in bulk is a smart investment — you'll always need toilet paper and detergent, right? But what about buying condoms in bulk? Is it a do or a don't?
A Do or a Don't: Quickie Marriages
Getting engaged and committing to spend the rest of your life with someone is a decision that should not be made hastily. Usually couples take baby steps — date for a while, move in together, get engaged, and then get married — but not everyone follows those unwritten rules. Some couples move quickly and marry after only months!
A Do or a Don't: Regifting
I know that many people are scaling down holiday celebrations this year, including shopping, which is probably why 64 percent of Glamour magazine readers admitted to regifting. It might not be the most PC thing to do, but if you're going to do it, I'd say this is the year to do so. But tell me ladies, do you think regifting is a do or a don't?
A Do or a Don't: Proposing on Valentine's Day
Since Valentine's Day has forever been associated with love and romance, it's become a popular day for couples to take their relationship to the next level. But since this day has become such a Hallmark holiday, popping the question on Feb. 14 just seems a wee bit cliche if you ask me.
A Do or a Don't: Buying Yourself Jewelry
One of my closest friends is single. She does very well for herself and whenever she wants to treat herself to something nice, she buys herself a nice piece of jewelry. She's of the mindset that since she's single and has the means to do so herself, she shouldn't wait around for a man to buy things for her!
