Date & Dish

Hello?  Is anyone dating anymore?
I’ve got 5 more months left on my year off from dating.  I’m glad I did this and I’m learning a lot.  Besides I’m getting so much done!  Recording an album, getting my house ready to sell, going on trips, looking for a new job.  Yep all major stuff.  So I […]

At this point, I’m not taking dating too seriously right now.  I had a date this evening with a guy I’ll call Spencer (with a little help from my bff from Memphis).  Spencer as in “The Hills” reality show on MTV.  THIS Spencer is not incredibly annoying nor has really big teeth.  He does however, seem to have […]

I don’t really feel like writing every detail of the dates with “Patrick” (since we met on St. Patty’s Day).  I liked him, conversation flowed fine.  He had a good job.  He was obviously very smart. He’s funny. He came up with some really creative dates, which I appreciated.  He’s over six feet tall (guys under […]

Hello! My dating sabbatical is going great. It’s quite liberating.
Recently I met a woman I’d love to get to know better. The question is, how do I do this and maintain my dating hiatus? Is it possible? Do I tell her of my dating sabbatical? Do I be honest […]

Your friend says they have someone of the opposite (or in certain cases same) […]

Can anyone really be friends after dating?  It’s just hard to go backwards. KP has annoyed me by calling me every day since Wednesday.  I feel if I was friends with him, I would be because in the back of my mind I would hope that he would change his mind about me.  I know there is […]

I have been asked more than a few times lately “How on earth are you still single?”
It’s getting annoying.
If I knew, I wouldn’t be single!
I mean, I guess it’s flattering in some sense, but it’s also like, do you really want to know? Because I’d be happy to go into the whole meeting the right […]

After a lot of prayer and thought I decided I’m taking a dating sabbatical.  I already feel a liberation, an awakening.
It all started when I started going back to church.  Then after another execrable experience with online dating I took it as a sign.  Then other signs emerged.  California came calling.  Then my music came […]

I wanted to be strong and make a “graceful exit” like Friday.  I know that baggage can be a huge question mark and that possibly there will never be an answer. I’m not sure if I don’t have enough will power or if I have problems believing that there WILL be another guy. Despite the […]
