From Charming to Crazy in less than Two Hours 2007-10-31 02:09:49 by E. Tracy Coker. After several weeks of searching through the internet dating site I subscribed to, “Carl” (whose name has been changed) sent me a little message saying hello; from his profile and the things he said, he seemed like a nice guy. After a few days of e-mailing and a single phone call, Carl asked me to meet him at a subway station for a first date. I was looking forward to this date. Carl not only seemed enthusiastic to meet me, but he was intelligent and seemingly down to Earth, as well. The real test was going to see if he looked anything like his picture. I was a college student looking for a stable and loving relationship. He was a college graduate staying in Boston to attend dental school with the desire of becoming a dentist and opening his own practice. I’m no gold digger, but what girl doesn’t love an ambitious suitor? Standing outside of the subway entrance, I watched people passing by, anxiously wondering which one of them would be Carl; final ...

How to Avoid Leaving a Relationship Bruised in the Face 2007-10-26 00:43:53 by Jason Nellis. A warning to men everywhere: Don’t be stupid. I’ll be the first to admit, I am not, nor can I ever be, the perfect date or boyfriend. In fact, sometimes, I’ve been downright moronic. Chalk it up to being male (a commonly-blamed attribute), young (though this tends to shift—the older I get, the younger I claim to be), or impetuous (or, really, more like ADD, because—hey, look, a kitty cat!). Whatever the case may be, I’m not without faults. Most of the time, I end up getting myself into heaps of trouble by ignoring them rather than admitting to them. Let me explain: At the beginning of my junior year of college, I met a girl named Deanna. She was a freshman straight out of the South, twang and all. She was only four foot eleven, so I towered about a foot over her, but I found that more endearing than funny. She also called me on whatever BS I happened to be spewing (usually when I made outrageous claims to get attention, like ...

To Date or Not to Date a Famous Person: One girl’s true account 2007-10-19 03:28:47 by Katy Franklin. You know how, in all those magazines on the stands today, there’s a whole bunch of celebrity worship and gossip, and they kind of make you feel like: a) you could never be a celebrity, and/or b) as a normal human being, you could never be cool enough to come close to dating one. That’s the vibe I get from those publications. But then, if you’ve ever paid enough attention (which, I unashamedly, admittedly have,) every once in awhile, you’ll find that someone really famous is dating someone really “normal.” Nicolas Cage dated and married his sushi waitress. Matt Damon married the girl who was his bartender at a club. Sure, it happens. But not very often. I was definitely skeptical about the reality of these situations until my sister, (we’re going to call her Annabelle) recently dated someone pretty famous (we’re going to call him Brad.) Now please understand that I do not consider my sister “normal” by any ...

Hooking up with a perfect partner. Just imagine… 2007-10-13 13:49:54 by Andy Cowan. WHY does perpetuating the species seem to hinge on hooking up with a person who inevitably has at least one major character flaw? Maybe it’s because if you stumbled upon someone who was absolutely perfect, you’d die. But what if you lived? Like a dog chasing a car, would you even know what to do at the end of the chase? What would I say to the perfect woman? “It’s nice to finally meet you.” The perfect woman’s response: “It’s nice to finally meet you, Andy.” Already I’d begin looking for flaws: “I’m not sure someone who thinks so highly of herself that she calls herself the perfect woman would necessarily be the perfect woman in my book.” “You’re absolutely right, Andy. I apologize for being so full of myself.” Wait. Maybe she is perfect. “That’s OK. After all, if you were full of somebody else, you’d be schizophrenic.” (Her, laughing endlessly) &ldquo ...

What a Night! 2007-10-08 22:14:12 by Deb Preece. I have been on-line dating for years and my experiences have been everything from instant infatuation to the most horrendous escape out a bathroom window you could possibly have imagined. The one date that comes to my mind was a dance I was meeting a gentleman at whom I had spoken with on line. We had a most wonderful time and after we escaped up into the canyons of Utah for a view of a waterfall and a couple of “smooches”. He took me back to my car (which by the way had just had its breaks done the day before the 50 mile travel to meet my new “beau”). Driving home, dressed in black hose, red (sexy to say the least) dress and 2 inch heels, I was approaching a light, when all of a sudden the left front tire of my car falls of, sparks are flying everywhere, my car axel is dragging on the ground going 40 miles per hour, and my tire proceeds to roll across the center of the street, across the opposite traffic and down an embankment. I slam on my breaks and for a ...

Tricky Internet Identities: An Internet Dating Cautionary Tale 2007-10-05 12:47:25 This internet dating story by Wired Magazine has all the makings of a psychotic movie, complete with romance, jealousy, and murder. Thomas Montgomery, a 45-year-old husband of 16 years and father of two teenage girls was living out a fantasy by pretending to be Tommy, a 19 year old marine who was getting ready to ship out to Iraq and who stood 6 feet tall. In a chat room on Pogo.com, he met Jessi, an 17-year-old West Virginia girl, with whom he completely fell in love with. What little did Montgomery know was that Jessi was really Jessi’s mom who was using her daughter’s IM account. The two really hit it off online. Tommy proposed to Jessi after eight months of instant messaging every day and speaking on the phone. Jessi accepted and sent Tommy G-Strings. In a strange New Year’s Eve resolution, Montgomery wrote on his note : “On January 2, 2006, Tom Montgomery (46 years old) ceases to exist and is replaced by an 18-year-old battle-scarred marine”. Cindy, ... Internet

Warsong Gulch? Is Not On A Map 2007-10-01 22:28:50 by Erin Steiner. The other night I was making dinner when, from the other room, I heard my boyfriend say “Welcome to Warsong Gulch.” I paused, halfway bent into the oven and thought to myself, “Why do I know that name?” I flipped through my mental rolodex of places that it might be but couldn’t find a visual to match. I knew I’d heard that name before and the words brought up a vaguely Chernobyl-ish picture, but I knew that had to be wrong. I must have stood there for a good fifteen minutes, driving myself crazy, trying to figure out where on the planet Warsong Gulch was located. After all, if the name was so familiar, there must be a reason. Finally, I went into the other room and asked my boyfriend “Where is Warsong Gulch?” Turning around, and looking at me with what can only be described as an incredulous look on his face, he said “Um. It’s a place on my game?” His voice said “how the heck do you know about War ...

The Juggle 2007-09-23 11:53:53 by Ryan Gray. There once was a boy named Jack who really pissed the hell out of Jill. It seems Jack liked to dip his pail in the well. The only problem was it was Jill’s … and Jane’s … and Jessica’s … and … You get the picture. This bastardized allegory could easily see the roles reversed as men and women for eons have waged a battle we more commonly know as dating multiple people at the same time. It’s a national pastime. But as any lad or lass familiar with affairs of the heart can certainly agree, it can be quite a slippery, uh, slope to adroitly perform “the juggle,” that act of balancing several women, or men, at once, all in the hopes that one never finds out about the others. Our culture and its widely promulgated principle of monogamy historically frowns upon such improper dating etiquette. Don’t you love how the Internet has literally changed turned our boring lives upside down? With sites like Match.com, eHarmony, American Singles, ...

My Internet Dating Journey 2007-09-18 23:14:16 by Jayne Dressor. I have always been the type to do research, but, I never thought internet dating would become one of my projects. It started very innocently; I was bored and lonely. Internet dating has become quite an “interesting” journey. to say the least. The word “interesting” is not really the word I would use to describe my experiences over the past 2 years. I was a very naive individual; somewhat sheltered, in a worldly sort of way. If I had a mean bone in my body, it was never intentional. I took anyone and everyone, at their word. The reality wouldn’t kick in for quite a while. I believe I will never fully understand some of the thinking or behavior with which I have encountered, by the male species. Even my male friends couldn’t explain to me why other men would act the way they did. I thought by going straight to the source, I would find some answers. Go figure, even the men couldn’t answer a simple question about why o ... Internet

Dating Your Boss 2007-09-13 23:28:48 by Katy Franklin. Ladies, let me start off by saying that I am not strictly opposed to the idea of you dating your boss. Let’s make that very clear. If your boss is smart, funny, interesting, charming, perfect, single and looks exactly like Matt Damon, stop reading this article immediately and go date him!! I know I would have, had that been my situation. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go down like that. Guys, you may, in your lifetime, come across some ruthless cougar who is also higher up than you, who will sink her claws into you, and beg you to have sex with her everyday on top of the $4000 mahogany desk in your office with a breathtaking view. If that sounds like something you may be interested in, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. Unfortunately, my situation wasn’t quite like that either, but hopefully I can shed some light on what it was like for me when I dated my superior in the workplace. At twenty-two years old, I moved to New Yo ...

Online Pickup Lines : One Line at a Time 2007-09-10 18:07:24 by Calvin Azuri. In today’s boisterous society, the Internet offers a convenient avenue for meeting new people. One has simply to sit down in front of the screen, choose a random name, and fire off a pickup line. Online pickup lines can vary from the highly adapted pun “Do you come to this web space often?” to a more general and significantly less coherent “You’re Hawt” - At least those are some of the ones I have seen. Online pickup lines are a safer way of meeting someone for you don’t have to worry about the embarrassment of doing it face to face if you happen to be rejected. We have all been there if you say you haven’t you’re LYING! Although one can just throw any old line out without taking into consideration the elements involved, the pickup line is almost certainly doomed to failure. Now these pickup lines can be an art form if you know what you are doing and know what you are after. It is not fishing so put the tackle b ...

Are You Permanently Celibate? 2007-09-01 10:40:13 by Maureen Shaw. I received an email this week from one of our members at SexyAds.com that left me reeling. Now if you’ve never visited our site, we allow our members to write pretty much whatever they want in their personal ads or blogs or forum posts and as the name implies, sometimes it’s of an adult nature. So today this guy gets an email from a woman who’s been a member for more than 6 months and has logged in 298 times. She writes: Hello, my name is Mandy and I saw your profile and thought I’d drop you a line. I’m happily single and permanently celibate by choice. What about you, what’s your story? Now don’t get me wrong, being single can can often does have its advantages and after a while I’d get used to it, but never in my wildest imagination could I say the oxymoronic “I’m happily single.” I could go with reluctantly single or unfortunately single or better yet contentedly single. I just couldn&rs ...
