I know you’re dying to know if my phone rang this weekend. Well, I’ll save you the anticipation. You were right. I was right. We were right. It didn’t. A few times I actually had to do the old school pick up to see if it was working. It was. But it didn’t ring. Not [...]
In my current dating delirium, I actually almost forgot that my least favorite day of the year is approaching – President’s Day. Just kidding. Yep, it’s true, I hate Valentine’s Day. Always have, always will. When you’re single, Valentine’s Day is a miserable, torturous day. You listen to your friends making their elaborate plans; you [...]
As I look back on the first five weeks of this year, I can’t help but smile. Dare I say it – compared to last year, life is definitely good. Last year at this time I had pneumonia. Last year at this time I was jobless. Last year at this time I was totally, and [...]
I had a date with four men last night. No, this wasn’t part of my current dating bonanza, this was actually closer to a business dinner, but it ended up being me, and four men, with three out of the four blatantly pursuing me. (The fourth was married and if he was pursuing me, I [...]
Just say no.
Those 3 words were the foundation of an advertising campaign that First Lady Nancy Reagan created in the 1980’s to discourage children from engaging in recreational drug use. The ads featured different ways to teach young people to say no to things that they felt pressured to do, be it drugs, sex, violence, [...]
As the first month of the New Year comes to a close, I am taking a moment to reflect on my new “If you build it” approach to dating.
I have to admit, so far, so good.
It’s been an interesting experiment. Actually it’s not really fair to call it an experiment, because currently it’s my new [...]
Okay, I finally get it. I finally get what all the fuss is about. I finally get why people do it. I finally get why, when those people are teased about it, they just smile and nod, with a knowing look in their eyes.
I went out with a younger guy last night. This, after years [...]
It finally happened. The day I’ve been dreading… The moment I never thought would come to pass. I guess I deserved it. It’s the question that I always used to ask of others, silently mocking them while doing so.
“You’re almost 40 and never married?”
And the question following is almost never asked out loud, because luckily [...]
When ”He” and I began this journey (and this website) last year, we had a definitive plan. The plan was for me to have full access to something every woman, single, in a relationship or even married, has never had but always wanted - a man’s honest opinion. One that comes without bias, without motive, and without repercussions.
This [...]
One of my all time favorite movies has always been Field of Dreams. I know it sounds corny, but when Shoeless Joe Jackson appeared on that baseball field, my life became an “If you build it, he will come” kind of life.
Well, “he” hasn’t come yet, but the “if you build it” part is starting to take effect [...]
