The Dateable Dork

Dating (mis)adventures of an unexpectedly sexy New Yorker

  • About Me

    I’m a 30-year-old (!!!), single, charming, and totally dorky girl taking on the ridiculous New York dating scene. When guys are surprised to see a sex kitten emerge from behind my dorky exterior, I just smile and reply, “Who ever said that dorks can’t be sexy?" [More]

Weekend wrap-up

30 Aug 2009

Not much time to write tonight, but here’s a quick wrap-up of a weekend that went by WAY too quickly: After 33 years of marriage, my parents got re-married today.  Very, very cute.  I was one of only 3 single people at the event.  My 77-year-old grandmother and a divorced friend of my mom’s were [...]

Skinny report

29 Aug 2009

It’s been a while, so I decided to do a quick and dirty photo shoot this morning to document my ongoing Weight Watchers progress.  Warning: these photos aren’t very glamorous… this is raw DD on a random Saturday morning.  Enjoy.  : ) First up, the scale: I weighed in this morning at a shockingly low [...]

Oh please, NYL isn’t so bad after all : )

27 Aug 2009

Ok my dears, many of you rather astute readers have raised some concerns that getting involved with New Year’s Lips again miiiiiiiiight not be such a great idea.  Ummm…. yeah, I know.  You say that exes are exes for a reason – in this case, he never really felt all that strongly about me and [...]

Now THAT is what I call a date

26 Aug 2009

He picked me up at my apartment. He put gel in his hair and dressed up, and I wore a summer dress. We went out to a fancy dinner. We talked and talked. We played with each other’s feet under the table. We exchanged “looks” all night. He walked me back to my door… … [...]

Healing is a slow process

25 Aug 2009

Thank you all so much for your very kind words and well wishes in comments, emails, tweets, etc.  I am seriously behind on responding to messages and can barely keep my online life in order lately (let alone my real life), but you all mean so much to me, and I truly appreciate your concern [...]

Blacked out

24 Aug 2009

I am happy to report that I have resurfaced from the edge of humanity.  I’ve emerged fragile, unbalanced, hesitant, absolutely mortified, and extremely grateful for the help of friends and strangers.  I never, ever want to go back there again. Saturday night: I went out with some friends for drinks, dancing, and general debauchery.  After [...]

It’s the little things

22 Aug 2009

Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but truth be told, there isn’t much to say!  Just thought I’d drop by with a quick post to update you on the last few days.  First of all, I’m still sticking to the Weight Watchers program, and although I haven’t really lost any more weight in the [...]

Rescheduled

19 Aug 2009

At 1:00 pm this afternoon, I got a text from NYL that he had to reschedule our dinner tonight because he isn’t feeling well.  Ok, I can understand that.  When I’m sick I don’t want to go anywhere either.  But… I would be lying to myself if I said that I wasn’t disappointed.  I mean, [...]

Not in a bloggy mood these days

18 Aug 2009

I really haven’t been feelin’ this blog lately, know what I mean?  I’ve been completely jaded on this whole dating thing for a while now (and especially after my most recent online dating disaster), and I really don’t have anything interesting to report.  My dating life is essentially non-existent (although I am meeting NYL for [...]

Inspired

16 Aug 2009

First of all, thank you so much for your very kind words, messages of support, and advice regarding my last post.  I haven’t yet had a chance to respond to all your comments/emails, but rest assured that each one meant a lot to me and actually raised up my spirits quite a bit.  Thank you.  [...]
