Today a guest post from the hysterical writer behind blog meetmygay.com. I’m a straight woman who has lived in West Hollywood, AKA the 2nd gayest place on earth next to Disneyworld, for the majority of my adult life. I’ve learned a lot about dating from a unique, gay perspective. As a result of the competitive dating scene, my gay friends tend to be much more …

The next time you or someone you know is describing someone you are/might soon be going out with – presenting the obvious cons, explaining the history behind why this is probably a bad idea, saying things like “I mean I would normally never go out with someone like this” – and then you/they/someone eaves-dropping from the next table says, “well – you know – beggers …

I haven’t seen Rachel in 4 or 5 months but there’s no question in my mind that she’s dating someone.  She’s always dating someone.  In the 12 — wow has it been that long … — years I’ve known her she’s only not been dating someone for a few months at a time — and even then she has a prospect.  It’s important to note that …

This trumps Thursday First Dates. Thanks to your many comments (and criticisms?) Tall Pale speaks! Tall Pale here. First off, two big thank yous; one to Jessie to posting this story, and one to those of you who have commented.

But this time — this time the question is bigger than one man can handle in 500 words or less.  This time, as Lauren said …

Now we’ve got a nice groove going. Some TFLN’s are funny because they’re gross — others because they’re pathetic and 99% because you’ve been there, texted that.   But this one is funny in that ha-shit-good-point-now-what-else way… (585): i’m in his bathroom *freshening up* and he not only has a hairdryer… but a straightener. get me out of here… NOW Here, in my opinion, is …
