What’s Next?

Some readers might have noticed that I have not posted in almost 3 weeks. I have been on a break which allowed me some much-needed time to rethink and reflect where I saw my blog going. I have written in detail about my widow's journey,  although I have chosen not to embarrass the bad dates …

The British Are Coming!

I never (OK, rarely) write about actual dates, but this past weekend’s lunch date was a hoot! D is British (I LOVE a man with an accent) and in my rush to secure a date I told him how much I am totally an anglophile (mostly true). I am in love with British literature and …

How Best to Blow a Guy Off? Figuratively Speaking of Course!

Is honesty kind or cruel in the online dating world? It’s a conundrum. I have sent multiple brief and flirty messages to many guys over the past few months and usually never gave them a second thought. Too many men and so many different dating websites, I would need an excel spreadsheet just to keep …

My first takeaway is that I CAN take out the garbage! The trick, it seems, …

It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah!

  Coffee Meets Bagel Henry: “How's your day going gorgeous. I hope it's as beautiful as you are. Great profile and your cute smile melts my heart.” I replied: “That sounds painful” He goes on to say that I am “a nice woman” (I am many things, but definitely not that nice, ask my kids.) …

Plunging Deeper into the World of Online Dating

I started my week, with this lovely message: “You are hot, funny, pretty, charismatic and have an amazing body”  Thanks for that, my nameless online friend (may hap you need stronger glasses?) and I hope that you are still following my blog and that your upcoming dates go well. He also shared with me that …

Back From Vacation; Let the Fun Resume!

It’s a new day and a Brand New Profile. Purely for the sake of sociological research (although it was my worst grade in college: hey the class was at 9 AM!) I have totally rewritten my profile. Gone is my addiction to MSNBC and Ancestry.com, and no mention of my dating blog. I am afraid …
