My marriage ended ten years ago.
That’s a decade of post-divorce dating experience under my belt!
What was dating like ten years ago?

Drunk Texting Marriage Proposal

Posted on November 5th, 2009 | 29 comments

I go on a lot of bad dates. At least those are the ones I tend to blog about. Sill, proof does exist that not all of my first dates suck. A woman I recently went on two dates with texted me at 2am.
She texted: Sleelunb???
I texted: Huh? What’s up?

Gotta love a [...]

From Sizzle to Fizzle Before the Second Date

If youth is wasted on the young, perhaps old age is being wasted on me. I was recently in a coffee house when two younger women checked me out. Yes, the older men younger women fantasy flashed through my mind.
Now, now – I know the difference between people looking at me and looking past me [...]

When a Date Wants to Polish the (blank)

Recently, a date wanted to polish the (blank) in my home.
Now, now, get your urban-slang minds out of the gutter.
This post is about polishing actual things.
Glass things. And silver things. And shiny chrome things. Okay, and maybe a knob.
Head on over to the Hot Dads blog and polish up on the subject:
