–> 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 …

Part of my problem is that I sometimes view circumstances like some movie scene – some movie scene I’ve written in my drunk head. Take one night around two years ago. I met Katie and Nina at Puck Fair for a drink after a long, bad day. I don’t remember what was long or bad about it. I just remember that I proceeded to drink …

I told myself I wasn’t going to go there – there being here – but the conversation has come up too many times to ignore. So by popular request, I am ashamed to introduce the most lame and clichéd series to hit this or any blog: How Slash Where to Meet People to Date Slash Marry. Somewhat proven advice that’s not sure-fire or necessarily safe. …

For (it seems all) guys – The telephone is a device used to communicate necessary information in as simple and efficient manner as possible. It is kept in the pocket which, though seemingly very close to the body, has no known osmosis-like effects. The text message element of recent mobile technology is the male’s preferred method of phone use because it allows for quick communication, …

Among the cornerstone differences between guys and girls, level of phone activity is high –right up there with preferred terminology for women’s underwear. We communicate differently, point blank period. Whether it’s on account of right brain left brain function or venus/mars origination doesn’t matter. It’s a fact, and you’re not changing it. Time to recognize, accept, and move on. To that end an evaluation of …
