Male and Female Dating Perspectives

Posted on November 10th, 2009 | 27 comments

A couple I know met like this: he came into the store where she worked to buy things for his work, and saw she was hot, sexy and confident. They flirted and chatted and swapped phone numbers, started dating, and now they’ve been a happy couple for more than two years.
The other day, the guy [...]

Believe in Me

Saturday night over vodka martinis, my date asked me what I was looking for in a woman. For some reason, the question struck me to the core. I didn’t feel comfortable responding, since answering truthfully would make me feel vulnerable.

Last week I received an email from a single mom I’d never met. Seems she had a dream. She was sitting on a cliff in Ireland, taking in the beauty of it all, when a man approached her. “This is nice,” he said. Nice? It was beautiful. Perfect! She was annoyed with his flip attitude, [...]

• Are you physically attracted to each other?
• Do you share common interests?
• Do you share common values?
• Do you conversate (I [...]
