Call me old school, but I grew up thinking it was a good idea to actually plan dates. You know, pick a night, a time, a place, and then go do it.
Women I’ve recently come in contact with are making me think planning dates is outdated.
I was introduced to woman A through friends. We emailed [...]
I’ve had some great impromptu dates recently with girl friends of mine. Note the space between the words “girl” and “friends”. I didn’t say “girlfriends”. Since we’re friends of the opposite sex, there are plenty of sparks. But since we aren’t dating, there are no fireworks at the end of the night.

I was recently at a restaurant bar with a single mom friend, catching up over drinks. (I tried dating her a few summers back, and the chemistry wasn’t there for more than friendship.)

Both ex girlfriends simply inspired me, in different ways.
One ex was someone I had sought out on Facebook, hoping to reconnect. We always got [...]
When my teen daughter and I toured colleges on the east coast last week, she saw a side of me I don’t often share with my kids.
