I made an executive decision today – I pressed the ‘Cancel Subscription’ button on my unharmonious eHarmony membership. That’s it, people, no more virtual men for me. Whooohoooooo! Breaking up is hard to do, especially when it’s with a computer. It forced me to fill out my current “status” before giving into my wishes. Was I: [...]

I disappeared this week. Total silence all around. I was starting to get “I know you’re busy but…” text messages and phone calls from loved ones of the “are you ok?” variety. Blame my boss and a no-minute-spared workathon. And what did my would-be dates think? To them I was just MIA. There you have [...]

At summer camp you were paired off into buddies, so if you never surfaced when the canoe tipped over somebody would notice. Or if you went to day camp you were paired off at the zoo, so if you were eaten by a boa constrictor, somebody would notice. Then some twenty-seven years later your date [...]

And now for The World’s Dumbest Question: why are you still single? Duh, because I’m totally awesome, you say, and there simply can’t be that many totally awesome people in the world. THAT’S WHY.

When’s the last time you ran into Aaron Eckhart in a hotel lobby? I’m sorry, but if Aaron Eckhart was walking towards me, I’d hardly have my back to him. Hel-lo, beautiful man! Ok, so maybe I would spontaneously spill my files on him too, or just drop my laptop on his toes. Surely a [...]

I met my future husband. Our connection would have really blossomed, if it weren’t for those sweaty people wrapped around the southern pole…of the 6 train. Dangit! Yah you, meathead, you’re blocking my view. Bake me a future husband cake, Mr Lovely on the Train, because you have all the ingredients. Those nutmeggy eyes, [...]

News just in from the great gods of matching! The gaggle of men in your inbox think you look really hot at 4 am on a Friday. And not so hot at 9am on a Sunday. Excuse me as I clear my throat, a-hem. This news flash, courtesy of an unsolicited eHarmony Advice newsletter, made me [...]

I’ve relocated. Single person on vacation – hold on to your tables for one! Two days ago, I packed my DVF on wheels and amtracked it to Mystic, Connecticut, home of a movie famous pizzeria and a drawbridge that pulls up for people with expensive, and very tall, sailboats. The mission: to detach both brain and body [...]

You know when the guy across the table starts to look TV handsome (well, reality TV handsome), you lean over in mutual admiration of each others’ dimples, and you finally feel like that big ball of dating karma might just smack you in the head for once? And then he says something like: “And who [...]
