Liars & Players & Snakes, Oh My!

Submitted by Delaine 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 [...]

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. 2) Women who [...]

Dwayne Wade’s Wife Sues Gabrielle Union

Submitted by: Cathy Should I wait to date until my divorce is final? That is a question I hear often. As far as I’m concerned adults can deal with their dating life in anyway they see fit. BUT I do feel strongly that much thought should be put into whether or not dating is something [...]

Bad Men Bring Us Gifts

Submitted by Delaine   Almost all women at some point in their lives attract a ‘bad man’; some of us marry him. And by ‘bad,’ I’m not simply referring to men who are drug lords, pimps, or wife abusers. No, “bad men” are men who don’ treat us and love us as wonderfully as we [...]

Hello God? It’s Me, Delaine. Can You PLEASE Somehow End This Date?

Submitted by Delaine His comments caught me totally off guard: We were out on our second date – me and this handsome, charming, 42-year-old divorced businessman. The Indian food we’d eaten was excellent, as was the conversation we’d shared: satisfying…delicious…with just enough ‘spice.’  And as we sat there finishing up the last drops of our red wine, I couldn’t help but [...]

Or do you find such [...]

A Man Who Earns Me

Submitted by Delaine Recently I wrote an article about how the phrase ,”I need a man who challenges me’, carried some negative imagery and feelings around it for me.  It reminded me of my younger-day yearnings for Bad Boys (who did me no good) and - as a few girlfriends pointed out -  it had a [...]

Dating After Divorce: An Indecent, Freaky Or Attractive Proposition?

Submitted by Delaine So a woman I know received a proposition this week from a man online.  We’re still trying to figure out if we think it’s indecent.  Is it different?  Yes.  Freaky?  Borderline.  Is she considering it?  Hmmmm…kind of.
