The Dateable Dork

This weekend is pretty low-key.  I hosted a “girls’ night in” at my apartment last night (complete with home-cooked dinner, lots of wine, romantic movies, and lots of Kleenex), and I’ll probably just loaf around for the rest of the weekend.  It’s nice every once in a while to just chill out and relax on [...]

People, prepare yourselves for a shocker.  Are you ready?  Are you sitting down????  Brace yourselves:
The “good on paper” guy has officially disappeared off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again.
Shocking, I know!  So here’s the end of this online dating nightmare: As you know, he said he would call over the [...]

Ok people, let’s be honest: I was pretty bummed out when that guy didn’t call me over the weekend, and STILL hasn’t called, by the way.  It sucked.  I was pretty excited about him, and we had been sending great emails back and forth all last week, and things seemed to be ramping up quite [...]

Good Will Hunting is a great movie – love it.  Was going to write a decent post tonight but got distracted watching it.  Too bad I have to get up early for work tomorrow, or else I would stay up to finish it. 
Homemade stew is the perfect dinner for a cold, windy winter night.  It [...]

[Warning: I am going to hijack my own blog for a moment.]
As you may or may not know, I am a long-time lover of modern art.  And it just so happens that I live in a city that happens to house some of the greatest masterpieces of the modern era, all available for me to [...]

Last night I went over to a friend’s place to help her put together an online dating profile.  She’s been in the dumpster before, off and on, but now she’s decided to make the move over to match.com, which is like the mother of all dating sites.  How exciting!  And depressing.  But I digress…  Anyway, [...]

It has been suggested by a smokin’ hot (or so I picture him) sailor from San Diego (thanks, Jonsi!) that perhaps I should stop trashing these poor saps who email me and starting showcasing a few of the good emails that I get.  And I do get a good email every now and then, but [...]

Yes, my dears, I have crawled back to online dating dumpster in search of a quality man.  Hey, stop laughing at me!  It had to be done.  I know the dumpster is like scraping the bottom of the virtual barrel, trying to scrounge up any last juicy bit of meat that hasn’t been snapped up [...]

This weekend I paid $12.50 to see “He’s Just Not That Into You.”  Was it worth the 12 bucks?  I think so.  It was pretty funny, and cute, and SO depressingly true.  It was as if my pathetic dating life was plastered all over the big screen for everyone to see, except for the fact [...]

Hello, body?  Are you there?
Yo, listen up.  We’ve been through a lot together, right?  We have a solid working relationship.  I give you vitamins and whole wheat crackers and a spin on the old exercise machine a few times a week, and you give me things like muscle and energy to get through the week and [...]
