Date & Dish

One of my best friends has this term called a “tweener.”  Let me explain.  A tweener is the same thing as “2 faced” in Seinfeld, a woman who looks good in certain light and almost ghastly in another.  There is also what he calls a “picture tweener.”  A picture tweener is a woman who has […]

Yesterday, after work, I call my Mom to find out that she was at the dentist.  It’s important to understand that I’ve known our family dentist since I was five years old.  My Mom and Dr. B have been trying to find me a nice Jewish husband for years now.  Both of them have this conspirational tone […]

I met a guy that I’d been e-mailing for a week or so. In his e-mails and phone conversations he was really funny and cool so I was actually VERY excited to meet him.
Sidebar: This was after I’d had the most emotionally draining day of my life. I decided to end things with the guy […]

Even though I rarely admit it, I’m an ambitious woman. 
I moved to NYC from Atlanta when I was 25, with $2000 to my name.  But I had a great job. And I made it work.  Yes it was a struggle, but I climbed the corporate ladder and kept on climbing until I had to really […]

But it’s very, very hard.
This whole dating thing is hard.
It literally makes me want to run away…to pack my bags and just jet off somewhere far away where I don’t have to think about this guy, or that guy, or whether he’s going to call me back, or when someone else is going to ask […]

My phone rings at 1 a.m. on Sunday night and I’m wondering who could be calling me at that hour? I check my caller ID and it turns out to be this guy that I went out with once a few weeks ago. We never really talked again after that initial outing, so I was […]

Yesterday I had my second date with the Pilot.  It was one of the longest dates ever - about 12 hours.  And while it was a most excellent date, I am left feeling rather wistful tonight.
As I mentioned before, the Pilot and I are pretty much opposites.  I am the artsy fartsy ambitious urban wine-drinking […]

A loose definition of insanity is doing the same thing but expecting different results. So one might ask, “Why are you going to try online dating again?”
I’ve done them all — eHarmony, Match, Friendster, MySpace, Yahoo, Craigslist and even a Christian dating site. My results have been, well, deplorable.
This morning I reactivated my […]

I learned something new last night about women who date online.
I was exchanging online dating stories with Pilot Man and he clued me into the term “serial dater”.
My first thought was that serial daters are just men or women who are apt to set up dates for every night of the week. They are […]

I have had a string of bad dates lately. As I was telling Friday, all my first dates never made it to second dates. So as you can imagine, my dating mojo has been fading pretty steadily. Having recently moved to Atlanta, I keep thinking, “Maybe it’s the South. Or maybe it’s just […]
