Last January, I made the resolution to get out there and snag myself a boyfriend. Since January is freezing, I decided this would best be done on my couch with the help of online dating. I signed on to JDate with hope and was excited to see my options... 5’3, 5’5, and 5’nothing. Has no one heard of growth hormones? I am 5’2, so the height bar isn’t exactly high. Just as I was trying to … [Read more...]
Don’t Touch My Head Ramblings
And what is a public head toucher you may be wondering? Now I understand that your initial thought would be that it’s an individual that makes a point to touch you skull, like beneath hair, no light tapping, in public. But reason would lead you to believe that no one would do that because there is no way someone actually does that. That’s what I thought too until my skull was grabbed in a very … [Read more...]
Tips about how Critical Is Zodiac in Getting a Husband?
Dating and astrology are already so very long and intensely intertwined that "Hey baby, what is your zodiac sign?" has earned a suspicious distinction among the most popular pick-up lines of all time.

I had been talking to a guy for several weeks and no red flags had been raised during our lengthy chat sessions or phone calls. We made plans to finally meet, he offered to drive to my town since he lived over an hour away. He wanted to take me to dinner and a movie. He … [Read more...]
Hurricane Handy Cam
I met this guy on a popular internet dating site and I agreed to go on a date with him. He said that his cousin knew of a great Spanish place in the city, so that is where we went. He offered to pick me up and I relented, since I am not really a fan of driving into the city, let alone in the Village. We went to this place called Zuma bar, or something like that on Ave A. The place was really nice, … [Read more...]
The Story of Vladicus from the Days of Old
I should point out that this happened a very long time ago, 1997. This was back when the internet was much younger. This was the day of free dating sites and IM services that allowed location searches, before companies got wise to the dating revenue lost out by people using ICQ, Yahoo, etc. Anyhow, I was on IRC chatting around, when I ran across this person named "Vladicus." We were both in North … [Read more...]
Long Distance ‘Hook-ups’ – Book an Open Return!
She was an attractive woman in her late 30s. She'd commented on a few of my blogs and I had replied thanking her for her comments. I enjoyed her responses because she was one who would at times take issue with something that I had written. It was refreshing as most people will not comment if they disagree. Opposing points of view often allows one to see things in a different light and possibly … [Read more...]
