It’s September, 1989. The Number 1 song on the Billboard charts is Cold Hearted by Paula Abdul. I’m a college freshman who has arrived at school confidently. I’d had a summer romance. I was completely and utterly smitten. I was sure this guy was going to be the love of my life. I toured the [...]
So there’s this guy…I’m going to call him “Ron”. Mostly because his profile name is “ronronronronron”. OK Cupid recommended him today after their fool-proof robot determined that we are a 45% match, 22% friends and 84% enemies. That sounds like a good start, yenta. There’s nothing quite like keeping company with someone you’re guaranteed to [...]
OK Cupid says that one of these 9 people gave me a rating of 4 or 5 stars. I scroll through the potential suitors and I come upon Mr. 2009. I have no idea what’s so special about this year for him, but I suppose a profile name from any other year would seem antiquated [...]
I logged on to OK Cupid today. It felt stale. I’m starting to see the same profiles over and over and over again. They say familiarity breeds contempt. I think it also breeds curiosity. Profiles of men that I flipped past, urgently dismissing the first time I saw them, become intriguing the fourth or fifth [...]
Yesterday, I was reading a post from Simone Grant’s great blog, Sex, Lies and Dating in the City, where she explores the notion of compromise and posits that she can not and would not ever remain in a long-term relationship with any man with whom the sex was not good.
What would I do in this [...]
Today, with each day, is another first day. As I lay here in bed typing, I watch my chest rise, expand and fall and feel the keyboard move along with the cadence of each breath. And my fingers, all perfect 10, type quickly. And I am thankful for having breath, having body, having life. I [...]
I failed to give you all a good Kiss and Tell after last night’s date with the Caveman because I’d allowed Mr. Casual Sex to upset me. Nothing a good night’s sleep and loving words from amazingly supportive friends didn’t solve. So let’s rewind.
As you know, I had my reservations about the Caveman. I knew [...]
Mr. Casual Sex resurfaced today. With a new profile and a new e-mail.
hope you had a good date last night…Hey can I ask you a quiestion about traditional dating? I usually date people that are ” alternative, or have sex/drugs/rock and roll history. Im just starting to date “normal” girls.. Whats the story with the [...]
Mr. Stature texted me before our date. He was running a few minutes late. So was I. 15 minutes later, a new text arrived:
I’m here. I’m wearing a sick Ed Hardy shirt. Just kidding.
I responded:
On my way. I look like a Pepto Bismol bottle. Not kidding.
I wasn’t. I was wearing [...]
This message just in from a 5’4″, fifty-plus year-old man who apparently enjoyed my profile:
Hi. You remind me of Sarah.
Unless he didn’t care for Sarah? In that case, it would be safe to assume that he did not enjoy my profile. But in that case he most likely would not have written.
Either [...]
