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 [...]

I feel a bit silly for worrying that my datective work might come to a screeching halt due to meeting Prince Charming last week. Well, no need to lose sleep over that - sadly, the prince turned out to be a frog!

I just had one of those dates that inspired me to start blogging - a bit horrifying for me, potentially good reading for you! Not sure if you want to know more? Here’s a sneak peek (no pun intended): unzipped pants, Madonna singing impersonations (with corresponding dance moves), and barking sounds ALL in one [...]

Can you think of a more awkward moment on a date (ok, get your mind out of the gutter… at least for now) than when the check arrives? Who pays? This question has been plaguing modern daters since “dutch” entered the picture. Wasn’t it so much simpler in the “good ol’ days”? [...]

Have you ever been with someone who talks about themselves incessantly, non-stop and seriously considers themselves fascinating? They barely ask questions and when they finally do and you try to respond, they switch the topic right back to themselves. Hmmm, now that I think about it, this describes at least 95% of my conversations with men (and perhaps 75% with people in general).

You won’t believe this - even I didn’t quite believe it and I was the one it was happening to! As if the last interaction with Matthew-the-cheater wasn’t bad enough, I was just trapped into another super awkward IM session with Mr. Creepy. What follows is the actual transcript of our “conversation” (might want to BYOGB - Bring Your Own Gag Bag).

Yewww! I am completely appalled and traumatized! I was just hit on AGAIN by the creepy married man!

It all started last week. I was at a professional conference and a group of us went out afterwards. A very intoxicated man - let’s call him Matthew - proceeded to hang on my every word (and that’s not all he tried to hang on, trust me!) He said he was divorced, like I cared. Among all the people in this group - possibly including women - Matthew would be the last I’d be interested in. He just had this creepy, needy vibe about him that sends me galloping in the opposite direction. But as if his pesky personality wasn’t bad enough, his friend confided in me that Matthew is in fact MARRIED. I was shocked, horrified, disgusted…. You get the gist.
