I love being single
I love waking up whenever I want and not having anyone say it’s time to get up. If I want to sleep until noon, I’m going to go ahead and do it without feeling guilty.
I love being able to stay out all night without having to answer any questions. Hell, maybe I don’t even sleep [...]
A year alone
I laid in my recently-empty bed staring at the ceiling. Now what? My girlfriend had just left me and I was alone. Again. It seemed completely surreal. Just yesterday I was making plans for our summer trip back East, and today…what will I spend my time doing? As I pondered the many questions in my [...]
yours, mine, never ours
“Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.“ — Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet and playwright
Little did I know the irony of this quote would dig so deep.
The ex-factor and I decided to end our quasi-cold war. Brutal barbs were swapped electronically over the last [...]
One Minute Girlfriend
Cupid and “timing” have conspired to make a mockery of my love life. This was not the first time these two have made trouble for me. In fact, it has happened so many times that I wonder if fate just likes toying with me.
I recently found out that she was leaving within a month for [...]
The dreaded call
“I’m late,” her voice crackled as she spoke.
“Oh,” I was a bit stunned, “um…how late?”
“Two weeks,” she replied trying to mask her despondency.
A million thoughts shot through my head. Maybe we should’ve used a condom, but she was on birth control and we’d been sleeping together exclusively for two years. Surely if something were to [...]

keys
It’s strange how life lessons pan out: from little quirks we experience daily that can be taken for granted — to moments of clarity that come nothing short of a miracle.
Recently I took a whirlwind trip to the East Coast. I’m a big believer in a Karmic Cupid, so my goal was to face [...]
The social aspect
The social aspect of dating is perhaps the most important part. It’s very hard to meet people when you’re not social. There is never going to be a day when your next relationship arrives gift wrapped in a box on your doorstep (unless it’s of the battery-operated variety). No, you need to be out there [...]
cootie control
“Your test results are in.” Karen from the clinic is calling to confirm that I’m still relatively clean. “You may want to consider using condoms on a regular basis.”
“Actually, I’m considering abstinence.” I inform her.
Insert PREGNANT PAUSE. No pun intended, of course.
“No need to be drastic!” Karen is not the voice of reason, but more [...]
Older Woman Seeking Boy Toy
I decided to address Rebecca’s comment and write about my propensity to date younger men. Being the good little blogger that I am, I did a little research on the exact definition of a cougar and found that there are multiple variations:
Puma - A woman who is not quite old enough to be a [...]
