Passion: The Cure for Dating Apathy?
Breathlessly, we tango across the apartment. The destination may be a foregone conclusion, but we revel in the sexual tension anyway. I can actually feel us both smirking (in that sly, knowing way) as we kiss deeply. The urgency is bliss. After all, we are crossing the forbidden Friendship Line – again – an addiction [...]
Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others
John Molloy, the author of the book “Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others“, just penned an article of the same name on MSNBC.com.
So why do men marry some women, and not others? According to Molloy, the answer is pretty simple: he’s not the marrying kind.
He’s Just Not Ready Yet
Most (but not all) men [...]
Is there hope for the gender gap?
We’ve all heard how men and women are so different. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Men are logical and women are emotional. Our attitudes, behaviors, wardrobe…everything is very different. Perhaps the most difficult differences to overcome are in our very basic needs. I’m not talking about food and shelter, but rather [...]
How to Tell if Your Date Likes You
“By the way, I think i learned the single best predictor of how a date goes, especially early on in the relationship.”

I recently found out that she was leaving within a month for [...]
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 [...]
The best place to meet people
One of the constant challenges for those who are perpetually single is finding new ways to meet people. Most single people immediately flock to bars to meet other single people with a side of inebriation. The truth is that bars are the worst place to meet quality people to date. Looking for a one-night stand? [...]
Booty Call, Fuck Buddy, or Friend with Benefits?
Recently, I heard “If I’m Not Your Lover” by Al B. Sure!. Listening to it now, the lyrics resonate more then back when I first heard it in the late 80s:
If I’m not your lover
If I’m not your friend
Tell me, baby
Just tell me what I am
The song reflects the role confusion of what [...]
Introduction to pursuit theory
Somewhere on a playground, a little girl pinches a little boy and then turns and runs away. The little boy gives chase. He’s not entirely sure why he’s chasing her, or what he’ll do if and when he catches her, but he does it anyway. He doesn’t even stop to think about it, all he [...]
