Finally!
2008-05-31 08:32:00 No, I’m not dating the guy I’ve been yapping about for weeks. This is better! Finally - FINALLY - a smarty-pants man has listened to women and their rants about what is wrong with dating today, and blogged about it. Marc F., resident blogger over at the Diary of a Disillusioned Dater, blew up (deservedly) ...
Meeting Someone from a Dating Site
2008-05-23 08:33:00 Remember Better Than Sex Guy? Well, our several weeks-long chatting frenzy has come to an end. He currently lives elsewhere, but has retired early and is moving here at the end of the month. So no ‘net for him until the 2nd. He seems like a genuinely nice guy to me. Having said that, I’ve ...

Ew.
2008-05-22 10:55:00 A message today on OkCupid from a mustached man more than 20 years my senior and over 2500 miles away: “The OK Cupid computer seems to think I should message you. Any ideas why? :)” My reply: “I don’t know. Do you always do what the OkCupid computer tells you to?” I knew there was a reason ...
What?s Better Than Sex?
2008-05-21 10:26:00 I’ve been chatting with a gent on OkCupid for a week or two. Initially he added me to his friends’ list, but didn’t say a word. Always the curious one, I checked him out and discovered he was a single dad of one, and was moving to my town at the end of the month. ...
My Tarot Card Love Forecast
2008-05-20 10:26:00 Once in a while I like to read my own tarot cards. I picked up a deck a number of years ago, and when I feel the urge, I sit down and do a reading. Last night I read my cards for the first time in months. I used a new four-card spread that I’ve never ... More About: Love , Card , Tarot , Forecast
My Favorite Date, Part IV
2008-05-17 07:46:00 There’s a background to this story. You’ll find the others here: Part One, Two and Three. As we finished bowling, it became obvious neither of us was ready to have the evening end. Alas, the curfew my friend had imposed upon me was nearing, so we walked over to her place. I was hoping I’d be ... More About: Favorite
Still In Love With Him
2008-05-17 07:26:00 Earlier today, a friend of mine commented, “Oooooh. You’re still IN LOVE with him! Now I get it…” I was mortified. Ten minutes later, after making myself seem like even more the fool by trying to explain that I’d never quite fallen in love with him in the first place… I gave up. Yes. I ... More About: Love
The Abysmal Dating Scene
2008-05-14 06:19:00 I read in a press release today that the dating scene is abysmal, and that the prospects for dating aren’t anything like what they “used” to be. Of course the press release didn’t state what time frame they were referring to, but I got the jist of what they meant. It reminded me of a line ... More About: Dating , Scene , The Holiday
Does He Like Me?
2008-05-01 08:08:00 At one point in time, he did. It all started with My Favorite Date, and we even dated for a few short weeks before I had to leave town. It was magical and amazing when it happened, and I still kick myself for leaving when I did. More than a year later we reunited, but ...
Feast of Love
2008-04-18 05:03:00 After my diatribe the other day, I decided it was time to watch an uplifting move about love and romance. Funny thing is, there aren’t a lot of films that fall into this category, unless you count romantic comedies. Which probably would have been right up my alley if I could find one I haven’t ...

Giving Up Looking for Love To Find Love
2008-04-15 08:02:00 Note: this blog post isn’t for the faint of heart. I use very unladylike language and describe things that are probably better left unsaid. Consider yourself forewarned. Every few years I decide I’m going to stop looking for love, because whatever comes my way when I do isn’t what I really want. Interestingly, as soon as ... More About: Love , Find , Giving
Drama Kings
2008-03-23 07:46:00 I’m reading a book called Drama Kings , an unusual yet highly entertaining and enlightening hardcover about strong, independent women and the men that drive them bonkers. Instead of focusing on how men should change, the book speaks of how women already have, and what women can (and need to) get from a relationship with ...
My Favorite Date, Part III
2008-03-23 04:39:00 If you are showing up halfway through this story, here are parts one and two. My friend and I invite my date to sit down, and he does - but not after going to grab some tea with me inside. I quickly find out we are both tea aficionados, and I talk his ear off about ...

My Favorite Date, Part II
2008-03-15 08:44:00 For those looking for part one of this story, you’ll find it here. My friend and I arrived at the very busy coffee shop later that afternoon. I felt oddly nervous about the date, which was strange considering I rarely get nervous when meeting someone new, but tried to throw myself into looking for my friends’ ...

Frustration
2008-03-13 08:28:00 I don’t get it. I’m talking to various people through online dating sites. But for the life of me, I can’t seem to get from the online chat to real-world meeting. I’m finding it incredibly frustrating. It used to be that I’d talk to someone for a couple of days - not long enough to build ... More About: Frustration
Meeting People Isn?t What Used To Be
2008-02-16 07:11:00 I remember when online dating was in its infancy, and enjoyed the attention I got online as a geeky gal, because it was the only place I had access where i felt truly supported as a young intelligent woman. Never mind the fact that there weren’t a lot of women in those days using the ... More About: People , Meeting
My Favorite Date
2008-02-11 09:59:00 Several years ago, when bored and visiting Vancouver, a friend and I decided to dare each other to get a date. The rules were simple: talk someone up online, and meet them. She - being the much more artistic and creative of the two of us - chose to use Craigslist, and posted a quirky ... More About: Favorite
Decisions, Decisions. Do I Keep My Mouth Shut?
2008-02-09 07:28:00 I have an ex from hell. Okay, I may be exaggerating just a wee bit there. What do you call a man who betrayed you in the worst way possible not once, but thrice? Anyway. I’m thankful there is only one of him. I’ve been advised said Ex-from-Hell (EfH) is moving in with his newest gal ... More About: Mouth , Shut , Decisions
Prowling POF
2008-02-08 06:02:00 I’ve used Plenty of Fish to meet people for a number of years now. I’ve never accepted a date from someone on it (yet), but I did make some incredible friends by hosting weekly wings/karaoke nights in Calgary through POF’s forums while I still lived there. However things are a bit different in the smaller ...
It?s Embarassing?
2008-02-08 05:47:00 …when you “forget” to post in your blog for a very, very long time. Okay, so in this case I didn’t forget really. More like I was swamped with other projects, and this blog was supposed to be more of a fun release for me than actually work. Yet as time passed I realized that ... More About: Embarassing

2007-03-21 04:59:00 About five years ago, I met a guy through CasualKiss (a free dating site geared towards the under 35 set) who advised me “Laval ife is a lot better”. At the time I wasn’t partial to the paid dating sites, as few were heavily populated in Canada at the time. But recommendations go a long way ... More About: Life , Love , Review , View
