Meeting Men on Mass Transportation
2008-02-26 17:09:56
Commuting every day on mass transportation can give the mind a lot of time wander. When I lived in Boston I had a one-hour commute each way, and since I arrived and departed at exactly the same time each day, there were several men I got to see routinely. Cute men, I might add.

Reasons to Date Online: It’s Valentine’s Day
2008-02-14 04:10:33
I know, I know. It’s only one day and it only has to mean what you want it to mean. There’s absolutely no reason that one single day, which is corporately sponsored by every greeting and gift company on the planet should motivate any one of us to date or not to date. I get [...] ...

Clever Conversations for a First Date
2008-01-28 05:15:44
First date conversation can be painful, awkward, and superficial. Not everyone is a born conversationalist so a little bit of practice and research can go a long way. Think the Bridget Jones’ Diary scene where she practices pronouncing Chechnya.
Don’t forget the basics, of course, like schooling, hobbies, family composition, books, movies, etc., but to make [...] ...

Heath Ledger Found Dead
2008-01-22 23:35:06
Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City apartment today. The reports are saying that drugs may be related to the 28-year-old’s death.

Un-friggin believable. Dating has a proper definition on Wikipedia, and not a short one either. I’m particularly impressed by the reference to “virtual dating” and “text messaging.”
Here’s part of it:
“Dating is the act of going out on dates whereby one person socializes with a potential lover using a process that involves scheduled, usually exclusive, meetings [...] ...
