Love

As you may know, I run a monthly storytelling show called SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood.  Think of it like The Moth, except all the topics have to do with sex, love and relationships. As you boys who post on my Facebook page about coming in drag seem to know, it’s strictly NO BOYS ALLOWED. Only once has a man …

Guess that movie reference!* I realize that’s a bold statement, but it’s true so stay with me. This past Saturday, somewhere between 2PM and 2AM I put together all the pieces of my former flirting self’s life and determined exactly what that idiot was doing so wrong. Here’s how. Over Labor Day Weekend, R and I took a trip to San Francisco to see Northwestern …

This image is in no way relevant, it just cracked me up The series continues as the clock counts further down… Today: dating. There was a time when this entire blog was centered on the topic of how to get dates, how to keep dating once you gotten a live one, and how to continue that dating pattern into a legitimate relationship.

You don’t “hook up” once you’re inside a relationship. I don’t …

A former colleague of mine recently got engaged. She and her new fiance are both 30-somethings who dated consistently throughout their 20s and early 30s. They met about one year ago, fell instantly in love, and got engaged 11 months later. To me, the somewhat short courtship (there are certainly shorter) made perfect sense. They are confident in their relationship and very ready to start …

I spent most of Thursday afternoon reading through the first two years of these blog posts, partly because I’ve been feeling nostalgic (already) but mostly because I’m prepping a little surprise (it’s a book!). I learned several things about my former self through all that reading – I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life; I spent an inordinate amount …

This past weekend the yenta-angel who introduced me to R was in L.A. for a visit. Every time I’m around her, I feel guilty for not paying her great gift forward by setting up more lovely single people in my own life. Part of the reason I rarely play matchmaker is because it very rarely ends up as well as my own set-up did (that …
