Parents at Work

There’s an interesting article in the NY Times about parents setting their kids up. It reminded me of Red’s mom and dentist trying to set her up!

I Got Dissed

So after writing CB off anyway due to his not-so-subtle blow-off technique, I finally got a message from him today.
Friday,
I hope you had a good weekend.
One of the more annoying things about online dating is that people can just vanish into thin air. So, I wanted to let you know that I met someone and […]

Friends Are Telling

I think a guy’s friend situation can be very telling. Does he have tons of acquaintances, but no close friends? Are all of his friends girls? Or all they all beefy guys? And, most importantly, when will he deem you worthy enough to meet them?
The last time HH and I got together, we had discussed […]

Second Date Curse?

It started out with the first date curse (better known as the one date wonder) — that lasted for about 3 years. Then it ended, and after a 4-month relationship I am cursed again. I have been on a second date curse for exactly 3 months.
I went out with “KF” on Saturday night […]

Danish Anyone?

When I first moved to Atlanta (about 4 months ago), I went out on an online date with a guy from Denmark (the Great Dane).  We hit it off right away.  I knew it the minute I laid eyes on him.  But about half-way through our date, he told me that he was going back […]

Time for a Second Date

Last night I had my 4th “first date” this month. That’s a lot of first dates in 3 weeks and a lot of time spent talking to people I never really want to talk to again.
So I didn’t exactly fall in love with the guy I went out with last night, but he was nice. […]

The Set-up

I have recently retired from online dating. 
I figured I’d have a rest and see if I could meet people in a more natural, organic way.  My friend Beth, however, took things into her own hands and decided that it was time for her to set me up with her really really amazing, wonderful, personable, successful, […]

Third Date with HH

So last night I went on a third date with HH. But before I dish, I must back up and give an update on the state of my dating life in general. Things got weird with CB. After several exchanges over e-mail and a voicemail indicated that he was either way too busy for me, […]

beautifulpeople.net

I am a member of the creme de la creme of online dating sites, the place that only the elite go and the rest only wish they could tread. I am a member of the “Am I hot or not” inspired beautifulpeople.net, where to become a member, you must be voted attractive enough by a […]

Do Real Men Have Cats?

I happen to be allergic to cats, so it’s very hard for me to date someone with a cat.  But I was thinking about this yesterday and decided that single, straight men with cats usually have issues.  Case in point - I was on the phone a couple of nights ago with the son of […]
