Clueless 1

I have an update for you about “Bad” from Dating and Communication Part II: The Double Edged Sword.
When he was Facebook messaging our mutual friend to ask her to hook a brother up, she suggested that if he really wants to give it one more chance with me, he should send me an email along [...]

The One Night Boyfriend 0

Ever have a boyfriend?
For the night.
As enjoyable as it is to snuggle up in bed/futon/couch with your honey watching romantic comedies, this isn’t that kind of boyfriend.  I’m talking about the one-night-boyfriend.
Yes, it’s different than the one night stand. Sure, relationships of all types pop up all year round, but there’s undeniably something about summer (perhaps [...]

My Best Friend’s A Player…Yours Should Be Too 4

Ladies of New York City, I’m talking to you…so listen up.
A couple of weekends ago, I went to brunch with one of my oldest and best guy friends. He’s my best friend from when we were young. Like we go wayyyy baaaack. Anyway, he’s the heterosexual, interested-in-ladies type. And, I should mention, our friendship is COMPLETELY platonic. No accidental [...]

Point First… Click Later 2

You’re bored at work. You’re sitting in front of the computer and you have a first date in the next few days. Should you Google? Heck, it’ll only take a minute. It’s really easy. So you do it. You google your would-be sweetheart. Then comes the hard part. You have to pretend you didn’t.
Here’s the [...]

Dating and Communication Part II: The Double Edged Sword 3

If you read On Dating and Communication, then you know how I feel about technology’s role in dating. What I didn’t really get into is that having all these modes of communication available to us can be a double edged sword.

On Dating and Communication 6

Welcome to 2010. Yes, I know we’ve been in this year for a few months now, but over the past month I’ve gotten a taste of what it is like to date in the year 2010. Up until now, the last time I was single was in 2008. And here’s what’s different:
Dating in 2010 is [...]

Biting the Bullet 2

I did it. I bit the bullet and casually strolled back into the world of internet dating. I say casually strolled as it took me about three weeks to take my profile off the “hidden” setting so people could actually find me. And once I got the guts to do that, I rarely logged on [...]
