My friend Gina says she likes telling me things because I’m a good listener. My theory is that this means that I’m overly interested in other people’s business, and fully aware that I have no idea what anyone should do in any situation, so I don’t offer much in the way of advice. Another reasonContinue reading “When You Least Expect It”

I Make the Rules, but Then I Break Them
My friend Rick claims that the secret to dating successfully is to decide what it is that you want, and then stick to it. Don’t make exceptions.

With that in mind, I set an age limit for myself. 28 was absolutely the youngest guy I wouldContinue reading “I Make the Rules, but Then I Break Them”
What I’ve Learned From Online Dating
As you know, I’m doing the Match.com currently. This is not a terribly new or exciting thing, and is pretty much my go-to when I’m not already dating someone and am too busy to go out every night of the week.

NB: I did ask my pal if it was OK to post the following. So if you’re a real-life friend of mine, it’s safe to email me with your woes. I won’t just put them RIGHT UP ON THE INTERWEBS. Ahem. As most of you know, I love social networking. At any given time, I’mContinue reading “The Cabbage Patch Nurse”
You Goonie!
One of the many hilarious things about Match.com is that it asks you to describe your tattoos, if any. I have one, on my lower back, which can safely be described as “strategically placed,” so that’s what I picked. My friend Mark, on the other hand, has sleeves, so he had to pick “visible tattoo.”Continue reading “You Goonie!”
