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Women I’ve recently come in contact with are making me think planning dates is outdated.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 [...]

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.
