Love

I survived my first and last dating auction. Would I say it was miserable? No – not at all. Would I say I want to do another one today slash ever? Also, no – also very no… Here’s how it all went down: Van Diemen’s bar – the scene of the big show – is located in Manhattan’s infamous Murray Hill ‘hood. For those familiar …

I’ve been known to take a risk or two in the interpersonal department – i.e. one time I emailed a guy to check out an apartment I had no business subletting at a time I wasn’t even looking to move because his Craiglist ad was so incredibly well-written and charming. Then there was the time I engaged in a year-and-a-half flirting game with the son …

The other day Nora emailed to inform me that I missed out on yet another opportunity to make a hundred million dollars. Yes – that says “I dump for you” and its full form is iDUMP4U.com. And yes, this website does exactly what you’re goddamn giddy with hope that it does.Here is the actual explanation from this actual website that people have actually used. ABOUT …

Two posts officially makes this a series. Here’s where it started. Cliff notes: “We tend to be all the-universe-is-against-me about the New York dating scene, when in reality it’s far more numbers-and-charts than we’re willing to admit (slash can understand). And so in a spirit of growing the hell up I’ll be exploring the reasons we’re single.” Last week? we discussed the fact that the …

There are currently five magazines in my 300 square foot apartment featuring a picture of a stone-faced Sandra Bullock and some headline with the phrase BLIND SIDED! included (which is just like, really God, really?!). I can’t stop reading about it – all the details and rumors and new information that’s never actually new information. I’m officially obsessed, and I could not be more pissed …

Date: Thursday of this week. Subject line: a lil nugget for you Sender: a smart and sensible female friend I have something that may or may not merit your attention/discussion — if not, just disregard and call me crazy while your roll your eyes, but if so, here you go: I just started working in the newsroom of a large network, and on my third …

I got involved in a chat the other night about the different types of girls you can come across slash date with a guy who happens to be seeing more than one type. Our conversation was about girls as characters – not like, “that Jessie…she’s such a character” – or, “that Jessie, she has good character…” like if I were to structure a screenplay with …

There is a difference between going out to meet guys and going out to be met by guys. A big difference. Same applies to the guys-meeting-girls scenario, but I like guys so we’ll take it from that angle. Going out to be met by guys consists of the following steps: Gchat many friends throughout entire work day to determine whether or not you should go …

I stumbled across a post from one “Nick” of Wade the Tides on a post of one “Polly” of The Hitchlist the other day. Nick wrote an impressively detailed expose on why he’s single including what appear to be power-point-sourced charts highlighting several of his more mathematic points (…while I contemplate adding videos but think, that seems harder than not adding videos…). Nick’s point: several …

My friend the brilliant photographess Jenny Anderson usually sticks to the picture’s-worth-a-thousand-words philosophy on her personal/professional blog, so I was surprised to read this pitch-perfect description of the man-of-her-dreams the other day. Oprah slash The Secret (and so by extension my mother…) say you’ve got to get your ideal man down on paper (so, Internet…) to let the universe know what you’re after. I don’t …
