What Makes You Different?

“Most people our age (probably any age) are not at all interested in dating at all for 6 months or a year after the loss of a spouse. Why do you suppose you are different in that way?” This question was asked on last week’s blog, by one of my oldest friends, Laurie (4th grade), …

Reflections

It’s been six months now since I began blogging about online dating. My daughter wisely suggested that I take a deep breath and reflect back upon my journey: what I have discovered about myself, men, and online dating in general. 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 …

Online Dating: The Search Continues

*****Dear Readers, I will soon be away  on vacation; I have decided that it is way overdue for me to unplug!   Very hard for me of course, but NO MSNBC and NO online dating: my two greatest and most entertaining passions/addictions. But this will be my birthday gift to myself: peace and solitude . …

Watch Out For Crazy!

Just in the past few days, it seems my beauty has enslaved several men. Oh dear, maybe I need to use less mascara? From Coffee Meets Bagel: “A” from Brooklyn (formerly, supposedly, Germany): “What  a beautiful name for  beautiful woman like you”, “A goddess of beauty and smile”, ”Our paths were meant to cross. and …

A Few Days in the Life of Meshuggah Online Dating Part 2

“Notwaitingforgodot” wants to meet me when he gets back from vacation, even though he lives several hours away. I believe that he appreciated my advising him that “not waiting” was best. I did add, just in case he didn't realize, that I knew he was referring to a play and that I was a Becket …

A Few Days in the Life of Online Dating

This dating thing is a good diversion, but challenging to say the least. I heard from Jeffrey, yeah the Scottish (maybe) guy from the last blog. A week ago he wrote me “Hey Suz I guess that I have some explaining to do.” I replied “I guess you do and how did you like my …

Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey, You Did Me Wrong: A Cautionary Tale!

He was SO adorable and YOUNG and Scottish, or so he said. Jeff had contacted me through Coffee Meets Bagel. He was obviously much younger than he said and very good looking and oh so appealing. I do love Outlander!  And men in kilts! Oy. And he did call me “freaking hot.” Who could possibly …
