Nice Guys: I Owe You an Apology
I’ve come to realize there is a special kind of Karma related to dating. I’m quite certain this Karma is manifested as a woman, and quite frankly, she’s a bitch. So for all the nice guys out there, this one’s for you. Remember the cheerleader in high school who wouldn’t give you the time of [...]
Why can’t we commit?
It seems like a bad time to want a monogamous relationship. With about half of all marriages ending in divorce, the dream of falling in love, marrying, and living happily ever after might be more of a pipe dream. So what exactly is the problem? Why is it that centuries of monogamy has degraded to [...]
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

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 [...]
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.
