For your dating pleasure…

June 17, 2010

Ok, maybe that title was a tease.  I wanted to talk today about all the recent happenings in the dating world that strike me as a bit…well…self-indulgent.  But I can’t resist checking them out…
The first thing…remember Omarosa from The Apprentice?  Turns out she now has her own dating reality show, premiering tonight on TV One [...]

Wedding season is here…

June 14, 2010

I was inspired by this recent post about wedding season from Turn Jacson, one of my new favs in the dating blogger meat market.
Unlike Jacson, I’ve never really enjoyed going to weddings.  Mostly because my friends started getting married and having babies right out of school (I’m from Texas), so I was saddled with expenses [...]

First impressions

June 10, 2010

I’m working on my book, and I’ve come to the part about first impressions.  This is a tricky subject, because many of us don’t realize how we come across to our dates.  That, and we tend to put WAY more effort into our “look” than our behavior (this isn’t just an L.A. thing).  This was [...]

Is dating a thing of the past?

June 7, 2010

Sure, maybe our dating lives don’t reflect the romance of the movies.  The kind where the hot yet sensitive hero woos the female lead with dinners in Paris, expensive presents, or by running through airports to stop her from getting on that plane to New York.   This is unrealistic except for contestants on dating [...]

Do you create your own relationship “rules”?

June 2, 2010

The hardest-learned lesson: that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook

After watching Sex and the City 2 last week (for all the haters out there, I’m not bashing the movie—I thought it was fun)…the theme seemed to be about building your own unique relationships and [...]

Paid vs. free online dating

May 28, 2010

First off, I just wanna wish everyone a good long holiday weekend, at least those of you who are stateside.  Sorry UK folk, but you get all those bank holidays.
For those of you who’ve read my blog, you know I love statistics.  My favorite site to check is OKCupid’s blog, mostly for entertainment value in [...]

Are you the initiator in a relationship?

May 26, 2010

I was at a relationship “talk” last night with Marianne Williamson…(”seminar” and “lecture” just sound too clinical…besides, there was mood lighting and a faint smell of Patchouli).  It was in a packed theatre, so there were like 300+ people there.  When we got to the Q&A portion, a thirty-something woman seated in the back stood [...]

Hey jealousy

May 24, 2010

I thought it might be time to talk about the 800-pound elephant in the room, or at least in my head.  Even though I like to consider myself spiritual and thoughtful, I succumb to some negative thinking at times.  Jealousy is one.
I have watched friends get married and have babies while I’ve stood by smiling [...]

Running away vs. running to

May 20, 2010

About two years ago, I was over dating.  I mean REALLY over it.  If you have dated a long time, you reach a point of dating saturation, and I was there.  I was romantically neutral.  You could have lined up 10 hot men in front of me and I would have felt nothing.  Actually, I [...]

A note about exes

May 17, 2010

I’ve been thinking lately about my exes.  No, it’s not that I want to get back together with any of them…their ships have sailed thankfully into other harbors (no pun intended).  But I do think about setting the record straight.
I am a Libra, so I constantly like to weigh both sides of an argument, and [...]
