I walked into the bar on the minute the invite had specified. The cute guy with the casually relaxed stance was one of the least intimidating bouncers I had ever seen, but also struck me as one of the most unconventionally attractive men I had seen in a long time.
I rummaged through gloves, iPod, […]

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 […]

What strange self-delusion is it that has me hanging on to hope of hearing from Manning again? I told myself after the last time I saw him- the night of the Giants playoff game- that I wouldn’t let myself get upset about not hearing from him until after the Super Bowl.
What makes me think my life […]

In an effort to distract myself from wanting to call Manning, I’ve been trying to focus on anything and everything else. I’m feeling a bit like Patty Loveless.
There are a million dating books out there that advise you to date more than one guy at once so that you don’t get too attached to […]

It’s always tough to come across a subject or a feeling that you can’t describe, especially when it’s the final blow in your closing argument.
I spent a recent evening out with a male colleague who I’ve known for a while, but haven’t had many in-depth conversations with. Over a couple beers, business talk turned […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I would love to see the thought process that our brain goes through when we’ve been alone for a while. Some productive people fill their hours with working out, working hard, working on themselves. I’m not one of these people.
Others bounce from one relationship to the next, racking up more rebounds than Dennis Rodman. […]

While some fish in our blogging sea have been dreading the idea of art imitating life, I’m being tormented by the Hollywood version of mine.
Any of my friends who met Boy Toy said that he reminded them of Justin Long (AKA the Mac Guy).
And I have been previously cast in the movie version of […]
