Date & Dish

Me:
Hi, Class Guy! I hope you’ve had a good week and are enjoying your weekend. Did you have fun with your guests in town?
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get back to you about getting together today. I had a pretty crazy week, and I’m actually working today.
I’ve really enjoyed our dates and getting to […]

This post is part-dish, part-diss.
I’ll start with the diss. You may recall that the last time I saw HH he invited me to a photography exhibit later in the week. I thought that was very cool and was looking forward to going. I sent him an e-mail the day after our date to let him […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Miranda Hobbs from “Sex and the City” once said, “When a guy doesn’t call after a date, I just pretend he died. I think it’s better that way for both of us.” Miranda had a great idea there. Girls need closure. Guys have the uncanny ability to erase what they want from their […]

If a guy posts black and white pictures of himself in his online dating profile, it is NOT a good sign.  Chances are, he ain’t as pretty as he looks in the photos.  Because we all know that black and white pictures are definitely more flattering than color.  They tend to hide our imperfections.  And […]

Why, oh why, do people choose to post photos on their online dating profiles that are far better looking than they are in person? I’m hardly suggesting that you dig up your worst picture and convince yourself that you’ll get loads of e-mails because “it’s what inside that counts” and that people will surely get […]

Yes, I will gladly return your book. As you said, it was not my intention to get a free book.
It was rude of me to avoid you the way I did and I apologize. The reason I acted the way I did is that I didn’t want to have to tell you that I have […]

…to be upfront and honest with someone. Especially over e-mail, people!

Hi, .NET guy! I hope you had a great holiday. I just wanted to say thank you for lunch and let you know that I am glad we were finally able to get together in person. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m up […]
