A New App and Site Based on Astrology – Moonit
I was on Nerve.com and met a guy who told me about Moonit. I don’t think the guy was on Nerve to date, though. But anyway… After giving up on Nerve and months of a seemingly endless number of conversations going nowhere on POF, I decided to check out Moonit. I’m addicted. First of all, [...]
Is Your Magic Criteria List Killing Your Online Dating Pool?
If you’ve had a hard time finding true love by scouting in a crowded, smoky bar, maybe you’ve come to the conclusion that the reason you’re still single is because no one you’ve met is good enough. You’re tired of the bar scene, and you’re ready to try your hand at online dating - with [...]
emotional REAL estate
Robyn just posted a recent sonogram as her FaceBook photo. I decide to ring her and we meet for an impromptu picnic in the park. Something we both have shirked since I left the firm we sold our souls for. It was high time for some herbal Honest Teas, huge hoagies from Saigon Sandwiches coupled [...]
Get responses online
Meeting people online has its issues, but they are not impossible to deal with. You need tactics, as if you were an online pickup artist. I met my boyfriend, Jason, on plentyoffish.com. I swore to myself it would be the last dating site I would ever join. Since I was still working on my book, [...]
Sexting
Myself being a follower of proper work ethic, I once had an affair with my co-worker. Possessing the typical spine-tingling bravado attributed to all things generally looked down upon, this affair in nearly every way was stereotypical: Secret, awkward, and sexual. However, one basic difference separated this affair from your typical make-out-in-the-backroom-and-behind-closed-doors deal. This was [...]

After sifting through about a million different online profiles, I start to wonder if my standards are set too high. [...]

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 brother glare up and [...]
I Got Fluffed
Patience or denial? Um, that would be denial. I got fluffed. Played like a banjo. I saved a low-level of optimism that that Sunday’s tentative wine-tasting date with Mr. Perfect would come together. After all, his efforts of pursuit had increased after Wednesday’s date, so there was hope he was “getting it”. On the flip [...]
