Friday February 12th was shaping up to be just another Friday. I was stressed about meeting a deadline at work, bummed a date had canceled for Saturday night, excited about a date with Michal that was still on for later that night, pumped for a long training run Saturday day, cynical about the upcoming Valentine’s Day hooplah, sick to my tummy from eating too many Dove chocolates a co-worker had brought in (I kept eating them to read the Martha Stewart quotes on the inside of the wrappers). In general, I was a bit melancholy and couldn’t shake the feeling. More »

Dear Guy on our first date,

1) I’m not impressed by lots of money. Yes, its nice to have a guy buy dinner for me every time we go out and to pay for everything, but sweetie, if you’re worth my time, I’ll want to hang out with you regardless and we can split the bill. I’ll be ok with that. If you’re broke, that little tidbit will show itself in due time. There are other ways to charm me. If you do talk about money and it matters that much to you, I will not be seeing you again after the first date. More »

Here is a list of 10 ways to pick up on women–Jersey Shore style. More »

“I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say “hi.” They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.”~ Augusten Burroughs

First and foremost, I love Augusten Burroughs. He is one of my most favorite reads EVER and I thoroughly enjoy that he is quote #141 on Starbucks cups. More »

If you are a girl, celebrity, guy, friend, someone online, an older man, a white woman, a doctor, a model or a best friend, congratulations! According to a Google search, most people want to date you. After all, why would anyone go through the extra effort of searching for how-to advice on Google? Although, something tells me that if you’re a celebrity, white woman, model or doctor, you have an easier time finding dates since most people fall under the category of guy, girl, someone online or friend. Or, you’re just a harder person to approach for a date. More »

From Ningin: A truck driver in the Chiba Prefecture of Japan was arrested last Friday for property damage done at an entrance to an apartment that belonged to a lady he liked. Did he graffiti his name in a heart on her wall? Nope. Did he nail a love letter to her door written in his blood? Naw, that’s old school. He started a new tradition by urinating through her mail slot on the door and into her home. Now that’s a way to show your love! More »
