reminders

I’ve taken a break from online dating since Serious George.  Hid the profiles, haven’t logged in, you know…the uj.  And reading this post this morning helped to remind me why.  Gross.  Like super duper gross.

why the hell not

That’s what I figured when the dude asked me for the 800th time when he’d get the chance to meet me. Yup, another internet thing. I started talking to this guy about 6 weeks ago, before I decided I wasn’t doing the online thing again (which really came about with Premature Kisser). So anyway, he [...]

dolla bills, yo

The to pay or not to pay debate has been going on since my date with Premature Kisser. Pretty much every girl I know has said that he should have paid, and that he shouldn’t have been so eager when I offered. I see this from all different sides. For one, times are tough so [...]

karma

Unenthused would be an understatement if I were to try to come up with a way to describe how I felt yesterday about the date I was going on last night. Premature Kisser and I had been exchanging emails, trying to find a time to get together, and I thought it could be fun. Hell, [...]

yeah, you might need to look elsewhere

One more out, and room has been made for the next one. But as I told Jester on our wonderful Saturday outing I’m truly amazed that for the first time in my life I actually feel like I’d rather not have someone else in my life right now. I may want someone – hypothetically speaking [...]

tentative butterflies

After my horribly anxious weekend I decided to give the yahoo personals another try. I mentioned last week that I was getting to the point of even just wanting a hook-up to ease that 7-month dry spell, so I figured what the hell. You never know what could happen. So I re-posted my profile, updated [...]

the end of the weekend

It’s Sunday night and I’m sitting here looking at personals online. Why, again?  Why not, I guess. I just finished my grande decaf that I picked up on my way to drop my movie off at Blockbuster, and now I’m contemplating the removal of the cork from the bottle of wine I bought Friday night [...]

dating without purpose

A little over a month ago I went on first a date with a guy…you may remember his attempt at kissing me after our good date to which I said that I couldn’t kiss him because I’m a good girl. That still cracks me up, btw. So anyway, this guy (I can’t remember the name [...]

dating sucks

Every so often (daily) I get to this point where I decide that I’m going to give up on dating. I’m so over the waste of time in getting to know someone, the hopefulness that comes with each and every date I go on when I think that maybe – just maybe! – this will [...]

texting texting 1 2 3

I got this in an email from AT&T:
According to a recent AT&T survey, 28% of texters ages 18 to 55 who are single and actively dating or married text their significant other at least three times a day. What’s more, 67% have used text messaging to flirt.
 
I’m a serial texter. In fact, I hate talking [...]

I could only be happier if I were tan

“Who is the only boy I love?” I asked him as I climbed into my bed and under the covers. It was 7:41 and I was already in my pajamas – cute hot pink pants and a white v-neck. “You, baby!  You!  The white fluffy one!”
I pulled my Puff close to me as he rolled [...]

it’s the wine’s fault

There was a little nervousness in me before I went to meet David, the latest in the online dating pool. We’d exchanged some really good emails – more than I normally would before meeting someone – and he’d expressed in his last that he was “REALLY excited” about meeting me. I was excited, too, but [...]

beating dead horses

I’ve been trying my hand at a little online dating lately, and while it’s been interesting I’ve definitely been reminded of why I stopped doing this in the first place. Bleh is the best one-word summation I can come up with, and while I always say I can have coffee with anyone I’m starting to [...]

the perfect set-up

After much discussion, and laughter, with Jen last night I’ve figured out that this situation with 21 is pretty much perfect. His gayness doesn’t bother me in the slightest, and I don’t plan to help him figure it out any time soon. Instead, I’m going to enjoy my perfect little set-up…dinners out with a good [...]
