The Dateable Dork

OMG what a disaster!!!  I spent five - yes FIVE – hours driving around lost in New Jersey today.  Fucking New Jersey and their fucking unmarked roads!  It took me three hours to get to my destination (three times as long as it should have, making me VERY late for work) and two hours to get home.  [...]

Dudes, I had the shittiest day today, seriously.  Work was extremely aggravating – not stressful, just annoying and bullshitty and bureaucratic.  I got suckered into doing some ultra-crappy work tomorrow that I’m really not looking forward to.  I had planned to leave the office on-time today but had to stay late because an extremely loud [...]

Tonight I watched a very well-done movie – Mother and Child – about adoption, having children, not having children… and wound up sobbing and curled up in the fetal position on the streets of New York for a half hour or so, absolutely crying my eyes out and trying not to make eye contact with the [...]

This weekend has been one hell of a roller coaster ride – from movies with the European to sex with the NMP to resurrection of my little tennis league which has left me with a sunburn and a very sore, very tired body.  I’ll try to keep this short and sweet: Part 1: The European [...]

So I decided to give the European another shot, for a variety of reasons, none of which has me convinced that anything is going to change, but… well… what the hell, right?  Do I really have anything better going on right now in the dating department?  Umm, no.  So that is that.  I’m meeting him [...]

In my experience, I either have a spark with someone or I don’t.  Plain and simple.  I know it right away, and that’s that.  When I met the European for drinks last week, I didn’t really feel anything, but I decided to give it one more chance because, god damn it, he’s a pretty good [...]

Just wanted to pop in to say that I’m home from date #2 with the European – details tomorrow.  Bottom line: I have mixed feelings about this one.  Hmm.  Will have to ponder what to do from here.  Also: While I was out I got three – yes THREE – voicemails, which is three more [...]

I was pondering the European on the way back from the movies tonight (I saw “Greenberg,” which was actually pretty good), and it occurred to me that he’s probably a lot of other things other than European.  Like maybe he’s OCD or has weird furniture or only wears pink shirts.  Or maybe he sleeps with [...]

Well well well, I actually met someone online who turned out to be, in fact, NOT a troll.  Holy fucking shit, has hell frozen over or what??  : )  Here’s the play-by-play: So, going into this date, I knew that this guy was a fairly recent European transplant, which made him seem pretty exotic and [...]

Headed out the door in a fancy dress and four-inch heels to meet a dude at a fancy rooftop bar to have a fancy drink.  Here’s hoping the dude lives up to the dress, the venue, and the drink.  Details tomorrow.
