I know, it’s been a looong time since I’ve blogged.  Sorry, a huge work project has made it barely possible to date, let alone blog about it.  I did say barely, which means I am sitting on a LOT of crazy stories, most of which happen to fall in the “scary-small world” category.  What happened [...]

Do you recall the first time someone referred to you as ma’am, sir, lady, gentleman, Mr. or Ms. and how it felt?  I remember waiting tables the summer before college and hearing a customer tell her little boy, “Now tell the lady what you want”.  I was 18 and so freaked out that I promptly [...]

It must be some sort of a crazy coincidence (if you believe in coincidences) that I’ve never had a truly romantic Valentine’s Day.  For most of them I’ve been single.  Or I’d go on a date and it would turn out disastrously (like last year!)  Even when I’ve been in relationships, one of us would [...]

When I imagined what I’d gain from the iDate conference, I was counting on great industry-related content, contacts and conversations (I hear alliteration sells.) I had no idea that I’d also end up in a quandary about my personal views on dating and sex (something that apparently sells even better than alliteration.) And if so, [...]

Ok, I’ve started reading Evan Marc Katz’ blog on dating it’s simply fabulous! Somehow he gets the right balance between witty, tough and insightful. I don’t know if I could have been as gracious to the woman who wrote in seeking permission to sleep with her stepson! I mean seriously?! If [...]

There is nothing as wonderful as finding out that the person you like, miraculously likes you back! The whole world begins to make just a bit more sense. Colors become brighter, sounds more vibrant and you just can’t stop grinning. And your blog readers roll their eyes and make gagging noises [...]

Are romantic movies putting in jeopardy our realistic expectations of relationships? Do they make us crave things we can’t possibly attain in real life? So claim social scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, England.
The skeptical part of me sees their point - most romantic comedies depict scenarios that are quite far-fetched. When was [...]

Ah, the New Years Eve! Perhaps the most pressured evening to couple up (with notable exception of Valentine’s day, of course.) Probably because I’ve been single for most New Years (and V-days) of my adult life - my relationships seem to be sprinkled in between traditionally romantic holidays - I am perfectly serene [...]

Have you ever evaluated your date’s eating habits to determine how s/he might be as a lover? Just read a cool article suggesting there might be a connection. Although my own “sensuality correlation theory” has more to do with dance partnering than eating (I promise to share it with you soon) this [...]

You may remember my last not-so-hot date with a guy who had an open fly and a shrill bark (so wish I were kidding!) Thankfully my latest date kept his pants zipped up. But alas, this story once again involves flies… this time of the insect variety.
Jay, Haiti ( #1 in my [...]
