I’ve been on some bad blind dates in my day – women who fudged their age by 10 years, trimmed their weight by 50 pounds, turned out wanting a sexy arrangement (yeah, that kind of sexy arrangement.) But none prepared me for one I endured at Starbucks this past weekend. Trust me, I’ve never downed [...]
Anyone who has ever online dated has probably been there – you flirt and exchange emails with someone based solely on what was written in their profile. Maybe you’re feeling some metaphysical magic and are sure all systems are go. She finally sends a pic – some happy shot of her and her best friend [...]
I stumbled upon two ex girlfriends on Facebook recently. No, we didn’t Facebook poke each other, write on each other’s walls, or send messages. I don’t even think they saw my profile.
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 [...]
I recently had a first date with a woman who Chemistry.com told me I had romantic compatibility with. How well did they do? Granted, Chemistry’s romantic compatibility assessment was on paper. But I have to admit, they did pretty darn well.

Before our date even started.
WTF?!
Look, I know two people can get tipsy on a date. A little laughter, a spilled martini, and pretty soon [...]
Remember the woman I met on craigslist who wanted to meet-up during the dinner hour at the most expensive restaurant in town for “drinks”?
We had used a combination of phone calls and text messages to try to sync up. Finally, she cancelled the whole thing, texting that she had a family commitment. A week later, [...]
Think Craigslist dating is for low-lifes? Think again. A recent email from a Dad’s House female reader says it’s not only great, it’s ridiculously empowering. And I’m not at all surprised.
I’ve long been a proponent of Craigslist dating. While paid matchmaking sites might overall have higher quality clientele (though that’s an arguable point), the approach [...]
