I'm told I'm tasty and a tad bit hasty when it comes to changing and exchanging partners. Commitment's not my thing.

TRUTH about cats & dogs

“It’s a given that all men are dogs. What differentiates each guy is how much dog is in him.”
I barely settle into my side of the cab and my college buddy starts barking his version of conventional dating wisdom at me.
“I suggest you tap into me to discern the purebreds from the strays in [...]


PUPPETS, PIRATES & ICE-CREAM… Oh my!

“So this guy points out all our differences on the date…” Eddie wants a full rundown on my latest-and-greatest dating adventure. I’m trying to convince him that this taking-it-slow mantra is just not working for me. It’s not my style. Right?
“Wait, this is your second date?” He’s got his big [...]


DITCH those who go DUTCH

“How was the date with [fill-in-the-blank]?”
I get quizzed by my buddies every other day now about the last guy I’ve kept myself from swapping spit with. They’re harassing me for this new road-to-dating-recovery I’ve chosen to take. No PROMISE of SEX. Just the POSSIBILITY of it. And, quite frankly, it’s [...]


the POSSIBILITY of sex

“So you’re really back in the game, huh?” Eddie pushes the last piece of the mulberry tart towards me with his fork. I shrug. We’re both killing some time by grabbing a bite before heading out to a singles’-slash-benefit event in the Mission. I nudge the last bite towards him. [...]


SINGLE-itis

I’ve come to rely heavily on Depeche Mode’s take on GOD’s bizarre sense of humor — especially when it comes to my dating life. It’s been six months (give or take) since the scolding I got from Karen at the clinic for not practicing better cootie control. I cried abstinence, so I guess [...]


NEXT time

“To be happy, drop the words if only and substitute instead the words next time.”
— S. Banton ( 1882-1966 ) American physician
**************************************
NEXT TIME: I’ll make ample “heart”space for the man in my life.  Whatever way, shape or form he chooses to come in.  He won’t have to compete for my FULL attention.
NEXT TIME: I [...]


Dating Definition: a GUYS’ girl

Function: noun
Definition: A woman who ONLY hangs out with men, but is NOT a tomboy.  She may be able to chitchat with women who are in the vicinity (though she’ll stay somewhat aloof around them), but she chooses not to keep other females around.  She’ll seem cool because she”gets” the opposite gender, is a gamer, [...]


what FACEBOOK tells me

You’re an asshole.
Plain.
Not so simple.
In fact, you’re an insecure narcisist with no less than 50 uploaded profile photos of your various pouts and poses to prove it.  You even catalogue your ex-girlfriends with captions below.  Sexy.
I never knew FB was a vehicle for name dropping, til I perused your profile.  So what if you’re some [...]


busting the BUDDY system

“Just so we’re clear, I’m not in the market for new guy friends.”  I try to make eye-contact.  I figure I’ve got nothing to hide, since my new motto is to live like I’ve got nothing to lose.  “We’re either dating OR we’re not.  There’s no friendship fallback at the end of this tunnel.”
“Huh?”  Grant [...]


Dating Definition: Baking

Function: Action verb.
Definition: The act of waiting for someone to be “ready” for the kind of relationship one wants.
Example: (see conversation below)
**************************************************

CLUELESS GIRL: So he says he’s okay with us being just friends.
SMARTASS FRIEND: He’s lying.
CG: No — really, that’s what he says.  Since we don’t have the chemistry, he’s certain we’re [...]
