I have friends who are single parents who say they are waiting until the kids are a little bit older before they are going to date. I have other friends who want to lose ten pounds before they date. I’ve heard friends say they want to own a home before they date. Be done with school before they date. Have a healthy 401k before they date. And the lists go on and on… Read more »

In lieu of the Hunger Games craziness I of course needed to jump on the hype. But let’s face it, dating is all about having survival skills and being willing to enter the arena over and over again (some more time than others!) If dating is a game and love is a battlefield then, “Here’s some advice. Stay alive.” Read more »

Nothing says “single chick” better than a bottle of wine and a Lean Cuisine purchase from Walgreens. It shouts, “No, I do not have dinner plans and no, I do not want to think about it.” Read more »

A question I’ve been asked a lot lately is when is the right time to connect on Facebook with someone you are dating?

I have a great drunken blog I wrote from last night when my Valentine’s Day was trashed. But I was told to bite my tongue (meaning not post a rageful blog…yet) so instead you get this poem. Which still makes me feel a little better…

This week I’m giving you a break from Sports Buddy (WWF) drama…

This article from Flavorpill about manuscripts and famous author’s handwriting hit me with a sense of nostalgia and had me revisiting some of my old notebooks last night.

Disclosure to flat out closure.

The end of a relationship can lead to a string of unanswered questions that leave a void. These questions can linger and fester and drive you crazy.  And you think if you only knew the answers you would be able to move on Read more »
