The only thing that saved me from going utterly insane while I was dating was my vanity. When people didn’t like me, I thought they were teh stupid. Specifically, I can recall an incident with one Match.com person who did not think that I was in the least bit funny. This caused me to thinkContinue reading “Bad Dates Have I Known: The Man Who Did Not Think I Was Funny”

When You Least Expect It
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”
The Marine in Brief
My pal Smyres likes to say that if you want to know what I’m about to do, you should ask me what I’m never going to do again. In this case, it was date someone significantly younger than myself. And yet, here I am, some weeks later, googly-eyed over the Marine, who is, for thoseContinue reading “The Marine in Brief”
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.

What Does It Take … to Get a Drink in This Place?
Me: This guy at the end of the bar is trying to get me to take him home with me. Aaron: He’s a good-looking guy. Me: You know, the thing is … it’s depressingly easy. I’m not trying to be a jerk. I don’t think it means anything. Aaron: My uncle told me a storyContinue reading “What Does It Take … to Get a Drink in This Place?”
Update From the Dating
I got a complaint the other day from one of my twelve loyal readers that I haven’t said much about the ol’ love life lately. I assume that this is because this guy is in a relationship and is longing for gossip from the dating world. I don’t do a lot of gossiping about dating,Continue reading “Update From the Dating”

Me: My friend Claire brought her baby into the office the other day. Ma Smash: Oh, Leo! How is he? He must be big. Me: He is big. He is no longer a large baby. He is now a small man. Ma Smash: They do that. Me: And he’s a flirt! He loves girls. It’sContinue reading “Some Things Never Change”
Even More Random Than Usual
My weekend, in bullet form: I did my taxes. I’m actually getting money back, which never happens. I’m not sure why. Everyone else I know takes their refunds and buys a small Caribbean island with them. I went to three birthday parties. I will definitely need that tax refund now. There were a lot ofContinue reading “Even More Random Than Usual”
