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]

Am I *rejected* from grad school???

19 Mar 2010

Two grad school related updates to report tonight: 1.  Out of the four schools I applied to, I have been accepted to three.  Not only that, but I’ve qualified for some pretty nice fellowships at all three (above and beyond the standard grad student stipend), which makes me feel pretty damn awesome.  Yay me!  I [...]

I’m not Irish, but I’m drinking anyway

17 Mar 2010

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Although I’m not even the slightest bit Irish, I’m not passing up this opportunity to get drunk and sloppy and go galavanting around the city.  Yay, alcohol!  Truth be told, I pretty much forgot about St. Patrick’s Day all day until a friend called and we made last-minute plans to go [...]

Exhausted

16 Mar 2010

These last few days have been a total blur.  I’m completely exhausted.  Between a few long days at work and a bunch of other crap that I’m not going to get into (it’s not every exciting, trust me), I’ve just about HAD it.  Seriously.  One thing I can talk about on here is the new [...]

What to do when your totally platonic friend starts jerking off over the phone

11 Mar 2010

Apparently, the appropriate response is to flip out and hang up on him.  At least, that’s what I did.  Ha!  Here’s how it went down: So I happen to find myself chatting with the NMP over the phone really late one night last week, like after midnight on a Tuesday or something.  I was telling [...]

The irony is not lost on me

10 Mar 2010

So here’s the rub (mmmmm… rub…): although the CA school was amazing, the school that I absolutely fell in love with is the one here in the northeast.  Hello???  What happened to my big plans to move to the west coast and bask in the sunshine while hot surfer dudes fetched me a margarita?  What [...]

Home at last

09 Mar 2010

I’m home!  I had planned on checking in this past weekend, but my whirlwind travel plans left me pretty sleepy and I never made it to the blog.  Oh well!  I actually went on two grad school visits – the one in CA last week, and one here in the northeast early this week.  Craziness!  [...]

West coast, here I come!

01 Mar 2010

Well my dears, the time has come.  I will be going on my first grad school campus visit this week – ahhhh!  So exciting, especially because it’s allllllllll the way out on the west coast (far away from this crappy/snowy/rainy weather we’ve been having in New York) in the magical world of sunny California.  Pacific [...]
