Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
Back, finally, to the issue of guys and game. The original question: is it true that a guy may in fact be very into you but may not possess the god-given game to make a move? For the record I reached out to the entire male Blog Board on this issue. This is a group comprised of eight sometimes-adults with varied female experience and fairly …
Most New Yorkers have secret city behaviors – little things they methodically do to trick or test the gods. Some are superstitions (never cross from west to east on an odd numbered street), others are based in logic (if alone in a cab always sit in the middle. If it side swipes anything you’ll be safe-ish), but most are just bizarre habits we’ve developed to …
You know you’ve grown up a little bit when you can look back on your previous self and make that sound my Mom makes when they won’t apply a coupon to sale merchandise – total disgust. Around 8:30pm I reflected on my 3:45pm self and made that exact sound. Michael and I had spent the day engaged in one of our favorite Manhattan activities: walk …
Listen Meredith – Enough already. Cut the sad, sick-and-twisted, can’t accept love crap and make a fucking decision. Yes Derek or No Derek. I get that you come from a rough past with a mean Mom and a run-away Dad and that your Mom had an affair with the head of your current hospital where you now work with your annoying half-sister who got all …
–> I live much of my life in pursuit of clear-cut indicators of a person’s true personality. And by person’s, I mean guy’s. With our adult costumes on it’s harder than ever to tell who’s a poser. And so I, for the good of this blog and myself, test out various conversations built upon what I believe to be strong social indicators of intrinsic personality. …
Still working on cracking the guys and game situation. But in the meantime – it’s become clear through response to this topic and my 20 years of dealing with boys (I didn’t start dating until kindergarten) that the root of all male/female issues is fear of rejection. Forget every other excuse; the simple fact is – if we knew the answer was yes, we would …
Since the infamous episode/book/movie changed everyone’s lives, the battle cry has been that if he’s not making a move, he’s – all together now – just not that into you. According to the book, nothing stands between a guy and a girl he really wants to be with, etc. Challenge. I think there are many guys out there who are very into you and would …
Back to this issue of going on dates with people you are not attracted to and want no future with… There is a common theory in the modern dating world that practicing dating is the smart and logical way to be a better dater. Not to secure more dates, but to be primed for top dating performance once the right date comes along. And so …
John – a friend I commonly refer to as the best man I know (no Mike, still not you) – passed along an interesting article the other day: Five Reasons NOT To Go on a Date. While my concentration is usually focused on ways to get one date not avoid five, I gave a read. John is generally very thoughtful and mature. While the rest …
The other day my friend Chris said something that made me wonder slash freak out. We were gchatting about our situations relative to those of our friends. Our dating situations aka the only situations people seem to want to talk to me about these days. (Pierson, I blame you for this). Chris was saying how weird it was to him that all his close friends …
