It’s a quiet Tuesday evening. I’ve surely already dated all the crazies on the site, slowly weeding them out, one date at a time. I’m hopefully optimistic, when an IM pops in. We’ll just call him ‘Jim’, as to protect his true identity, ‘Jim100’. At first sight, Jim had already met my image of the perfect boyfriend: cute, boy next door with trust-able eyes. I check out his profile. It’s kind of vague, but funny. We start chatting. We talk about random, entertaining topics forever. I have now decided this could be the perfect guy!

“Huh? Back your truck up, what did you say? I’m 42 and that makes me too YOUNG?”

“I’m sorry, I’ve always been attracted to older women, like my ex-wife and since you’re a few years younger than me, I don’t think it can work. You’re everything a man could want: you’re beautiful, funny, sweet, and sexy but I guess I’m looking for someone like my ex. I’m sorry, I really am.” Click here to read more…

Let’s get straight to the point, I’m trying to date you, I’m not trying to date you AND your pet!
Most of the women I get matched with online average between the ages of 31-35. Each day, around half of their profiles have some sort of reference to their pet, which is usually a dog. This never bothered me until I actually started dating a dog owner and realized that I was second chair to the dog, so now, this is usually a deal breaker. Click here to read more…

In honor of Mother’s Day weekend, today’s post is about jugging dating and being a single mom. It can be very difficult to switch gears from driving the carpool, packing lunches and reducing fractions to going out on a date and feeling sexy. I’m the single mom of two teenage boys whose lives still require a lot of my attention and I’m not sure I always succeed at juggling everything. Click here to read more…

I think people are getting the wrong idea about me—as much as men make me want to gouge my own eyes out with a pair of child’s plastic scissors, I don’t hate them. I don’t hate men at all, in fact their wildly pathetic, juvenile antics rather amuse me honestly. Over the years, I’ve developed a truly soft spot in my heart for all the sadly pitiful losers who stick me with the check and even for the ones who think it’s okay to take me to dinner at the strip club where their ex wife works!

We’ve all watched one too many movies, you know the ones I mean – the ones where the boy meets girl, they fall madly in love at first sight and they walk happily off into the sunset. Of course something wacky happens to make it difficult for them to be together, but basically they knew they had met their soulmate the first time they laid eyes on each other.

Online dating is a blast. I mean sometimes you open your inbox and find a cleverly constructed and very sweet message. Other times you find the exact opposite. This is one of those times.

A while ago, opened my inbox on OkCupid to find this exact message: Click here to read more…

I don’t remember which dating website I met her on. I don’t remember her name and I remember very few things about her. I do remember what she was, or rather wasn’t, wearing when we met for our one and only date. I do remember when I was talking with my friends I referred to her as The Disney Chick. That much I’m sure of.

We traded a few e-mails, talked on the phone once and decided we wanted to go out, but she was unsure when she could. That first Saturday afternoon, she called to ask if we could meet for a couple of drinks around 7. Click here to read more…

I was instantly attracted to the clean cut man in the photo with the short brown hair and the navy polo shirt His smile seemed friendly and made his brown eyes shine. Although his nickname on the site was Farmboy09, he seemed smart and his screenname poked fun at his rural home.

His profile was simple and hinted at romance and the sincere hope of finding love. The one drawback was that he lived an hour’s drive from me, Click here to read more…
