Times When I Wish I Still Had a Boyfriend: 1. Upon encountering a six-legged creepy crawly in my kitchen when I get up to get a glass of water, barefoot and groggy, in the middle of the night; 2. After I finish work for the day and plop down on my couch with a glass of […]
My ex, who I dated for all of six months about three years ago, wants to reconnect. After the breakup, he moved far away to a completely different state and I haven’t seen or talked to him since he horribly ended it by taping a note to my car window. We weren’t together for very […]
Tough going out there in the dating pool this week: my OKStupid date bailed on me mere hours before game time (rude!), and speed-dating managed to sell out before I could secure a spot. Undeterred, I’m planning to attend this week – and purchase a ticket farther in advance! Meanwhile, I ended up spending a surprising amount […]
I am currently seeing this really great girl. She’s smart, sweet and really fun to be around. We agree on a lot of things. We both hate the death penalty, love pizza and enjoy hanging out—sometimes illegally—on rooftops overlooking New York City. There is one thing, however, that we just can’t see eye-to-eye on. It’s […]

Take this letter, for example: “I met this guy back in March and almost instantly there was an attraction and undeniable chemistry between us. He lives […]
I want a Sunday kind of love. No, really, and not just because I could listen to that song every single morning. Allow me to explain. This Sunday, I had a full day that was unapologetically mine. Really, I had a whole weekend that was unapologetically mine, including a visit with El Guapo (since you […]
According to a new study by Trojan condoms, the average American has sex 84 times a year. Just to put it in perspective, that’s seven dozen donuts, two sets of dominoes to get up, the number of keys you can tickle on a piano, and double the age of silver fox Anderson Cooper—that’s how much […]
Peter owning up to Googling me on our first date should have been the first warning sign. Don’t get me wrong: I Google, you Google, we all Google acquaintances. Doing it in private is one thing. Saying it out loud is another. “Did I tell you who I work for?” I asked. It was technically […]
