Do You See His ‘Potential’ or Who He REALLY Is?

Submitted by Delaine
It’s been three and a half years since my ex-husband and I split up.  And since then, despite the many dates and mini-relationships I’ve had, I’m still single.  But I don’t think of this as being a ‘bad’ thing ; I think I’ve needed this time – to heal, to grow, to like myself more…and to get a [...]

Dating Mishap: Rather ironic…Don’t you think?

Submitted by Amelia
So I spent the wee hours of last Monday night having a ‘private party’ with just me, a bottle of wine, and Alanis Morissette.  Of course, she was just playing on youtube… but I’ll tell you, the music from her album, Jagged Little Pill, sure did hit the spot  – especially the song, Ironic.  For you [...]

Submitted by: Big Little Wolf
Did you get lucky this week?
Or should I say, did you score? Did you hook up? Or are you more comfortable if I ask if you made love?
Whatever you call it, great sex is great sex, right? Not exactly? Then do our distinctions in terminology serve us, or complicate matters?

Liars & Players & Snakes, Oh My!

Submitted by Amelia
Venturing into the online dating world can feel as scary as trekking through a dark, unknown wood.  Who lurk’eth in the shadows?  we can’t help but wonder.  Maybe “lions & ligers & bears, on my!”
As I set out on last weekend’s first-date ‘adventure,’ I admit I felt both nervous and excited.  Both on the phone and [...]

LUST: Damned if You Give Into it, Damned if You Don’t

Submitted by Delaine
As my divorced girlfriend Amy told me about a recent first date she went on, she was practically squealing.  For not only was her date smart, funny and gentlemanly, she was very sexually attracted to him.  “I kept having to tell myself to stop staring at his lips,” she laughed.  “My mind kept flashing with scenes of us getting naked!”  [...]

Guys, Don’t Hate Her Cause She Has Dated Younger Men

Submitted by Delaine
As I read through his lengthy profile on the dating site, I found myself laughing out loud.  It was written with such good humor that I assumed THIS line was too: 
“What I don’t like:
1) Women who date younger men in the hopes of hiding from the fact they are OLD.

What Kind Of Man Wants ‘Serious’ With A Single Mom?

Submitted by Delaine
So I broke up with someone last week – a single dad of two.   He’s the first man I’ve gone out with since divorcing that I contemplated getting serious with whatsoever.  But even though we got along brilliantly, even though he said he was crazy about me, one main thing deterred his interest: the fact [...]
