Strict Policy

Having a "no married man" policy has served me well. Especially since I seem to have some sort of smell that attracts the bastards.

toys

is it sad the only ones I have in my bed these days belong to my dog?

good combo

school girl skirts and bachelor parties.

volume dating

so I still think the online thing is crazy but have multiple dates this week. who has time for this? if they don't lead to relationships, maybe there will be new chapter titles.

when the doc and I originally broke up my first chapter title came about:

well the “good on paper, extremely sensitive, over communicating" guy sounded great until I dated him… you know what Jay-Z says #ontothenextone

an apple a day

there is one guy I met that just kind of sticks around ... just when I think it's been long enough that he's gone for good, BOOM he's back. the longest streak of no contact was a day shy of a month. obviously the creation of texting makes hanging around easier. it started with me telling him he's not the one for me - followed by short answers - followed by outright ignoring - he's a doctor that won't go away - maybe it's time to introduce apples in my diet.

online dating

99% of the time I think it’s a total joke, but it is the best way to meet new guys these days

death of dating seems to be when I give the guy his own toothbrush

text message

also, I was dumped via text message - which further strengthened my opinion that the creation of text messaging has had the most negative effect on modern day dating.

dumped.

…and for the first time since my divorce, I just got dumped.  which apparently inspired me to create a place to ramble about my silly little love life and the crazy state of dating in the modern world.
