Single Parent Dating Takes Patience

Posted on October 8th, 2009 | 18 comments

For privacy reasons, I tend not to blog about relationships I’m actively involved in. As such, Dad’s House readers get a skewed view of my single parent dating life. I blog about hookups gone awry, lovers texting goodbye, funny sexy stories, and date-stacking flakes who bail before the first date.
My single parent love life isn’t [...]

Texting Goodbye to a Lover

Posted on October 7th, 2009 | 22 comments

My friend with benefits texted me: You should know I met someone interesting who wants to date. Consider me off the market for the time being.
I wasn’t too surprised. We’d been seeing each other off and on for the better part of two months. But neither one of us had felt a spark to take [...]

My kids and I were in Albuquerque this past weekend, attending the Balloon Festival. Yes, it was fun. (I’ll post pics and stories as soon as my daughter uploads photos from her camera.)

I received an email the other day.
Dear David. We hooked up last year. It was fun. Call me if you’re unattached and we’ll catch up. I miss having a good man around.

Wait a sec – I hooked up with this woman a year ago? I must have been between lovers, because I haven’t done a [...]

Planning a First Date is So 2000 and Late

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 | 19 comments

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Women I’ve recently come in contact with are making me think planning dates is outdated.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

How to Cheat at the Kissie Game

Posted on September 15th, 2009 | 23 comments

Some nights my kids and I play a kissie game when they go to bed. They crawl into bed. I’m supposed to kiss them on each cheek. (Yes, they’re both teens. You’d think they would have tired of this game a decade ago. But no, they still love it.)
They squirrel their bodies like crazy, cover [...]
