Tales from the Dating Vault

My best friend once said to me in college that she worried I wasn’t as confident as I was in high school. I blame this on my habit of outgrowing ponds. At a small public high school in my hometown, I was confident because I wasn’t challenged. I could join every club, ace every […]

The Magic of Snow and Love

There’s something magical about snow. I don’t even like it much, but the whole idea of every flake being different and every kid staring wide eyed out the window at their “first snow” gives it an element that is not of this world, one that even tramping through ugly Manhattan sludge can’t tarnish.
Love is […]

Do We Have Any Ex’s In The House?

Tonight I was treated to a bit of a “This Is Your Life” kind of night as the universe paraded failed relationships in front of my eyes that spanned my entire existence in New York City.
I went to see Fred’s old roommate do a stand-up comedy show, knowing that I would probably run into […]

What a Waste of a Good Mocha…

I’m really not good at the rules of the dating game, mostly because they consistently ask me to ignore my instincts. I have to keep in mind not just what my intentions are, but how my actions will be interpreted by a relative stranger. And I’m supposed to do this while simultaneously getting to […]

That Beyonce Was On to Something

I love the sound of my name rolling off of your lips.
For one thing, my expectations have fallen to the point where I’m just impressed that you remember it. Points for paying attention. And, because it’s an unusual name, I know that it wasn’t just a lucky guess.
Somehow, coming from you, it doesn’t […]

The Logistics of Lying

I grew up with one rule in my household- thou shall not tell lies. I was only grounded once in all of my partying, angst-filled high school days for getting caught in a lie, mainly because I never got enough practice to be good at it.
I clearly never had the proper motivation. After leaving […]

Instant Karma (Part 2)

Finding myself in boots that were definitely not made for walking, I realized that the bar we had just left was half the distance of walking all the way home. I also knew that there was a group of friends I grew up with that I could easily join, so I wouldn’t be sitting […]

Stranded at the Airport, Branded a Fool

Yep, it’s official, my Boy Toy has been recalled.
Just a few weeks ago I was trying to define what I wanted from our relationship, and deal with him asking me to meet his parents on my next trip home. I didn’t worry much when our communication became less frequent as the holidays approached, because […]

Fighting Fair

One of the most important things, in a relationship or a friendship, is learning how to fight fair. Now, I’m not talking about punching below the belt or pulling hair, I’m talking about the much more intimate War of the Words.
That whole “sticks and stones…” rhyme that we learn as kids is […]
