Naughty Cakes & Vampires...My Date with Pat (pt 2)
Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long. Okay, where was I? Pat and I finished up at the diner and had to figure out something else to do. Fortunately I didn’t have to think too hard because no sooner had we left the restaurant than Pat spotted a Tasti Delite and suggested we get a frozen yogurt. Apparently the omelet, toast and potatoes didn’t quite cut it. Fine by me. I had no...

Total Turnoff...My date with Pat (pt 1)
I’m exhausted and really need to get to bed, but I wanted to at least start recounting my latest date. Oh, where do I begin with Pat….First off, I really wanted to like him. On paper he’s everything I’m looking for (besides being slightly younger than me). He graduated from a top school, has a good job, enjoys the same TV shows as me, and loves food (a huge plus),...
SO not worth it
I took a little while to post this date with Rick from Sunday because I wanted to make sure I got every detail in. Let me preface by saying that I emailed him to confirm the day before and didn’t get a response until an hour before we were supposed to meet…
As planned (and finally confirmed), I met Rick at Spice Market. It’s in the Meatpacking district, which is a good 50-minute...
You a*$% hole!
So my date with Steve last night…?
Standing in the middle of 3rd Avenue and 89th, I wondered if I had the right place. No, it was definitely the right place. Oh, maybe I was supposed to meet him inside…? I walked in, told the hostess I was meeting someone and sauntered through the entrance trying to look as un-self-conscious as possible without looking like I thought I was hot shit...
Dates postponed...
So the other dates I had scheduled for this week were postponed: Steve and Rick. I am meeting Steve tonight at 7:30 and Rick for lunch this Sunday. Steve seems smart and nice. And very cute in his pictures. So I’m excited and also sort of nervous… I’ll report back on our date tomorrow! By the way, in case you were curious, here’s a photo of The Subway Inn from my date with Kyle…

Guest Blog Post: Online Dating by DecorusMens
This post is from fellow blogger DecorusMens, describing her unfortunate online dating experience. Thanks for sharing and keep ‘em coming!
I joined this online dating site my freshmen year of college. I had been doing a lot of online quizzes and all of them seemed to come from the same site. Therefore, I joined in efforts of just keeping my autobiography of self assessments, which included...
Never go to The Subway Inn... Part II
So, where did I leave off? The gross bar, his hearing/speech issues… anyway, despite these obstacles, I learned that he is interested in making funny videos and works at a hedge fund. He likes his job but hates commuting home to New Jersey every day. Like me he has many siblings. Unlike me he is not close to any of them and “prefers it that way.” He didn’t like college and...
Never go to The Subway Inn
So Kyle and I went out last night. We emailed throughout the day to try to figure out a good meeting spot. We finally decided to meet up, per his suggestion, at the Subway Inn. I got there first. The neon sign flashed inappropriately in the late-afternoon sunlight. It was hot and sticky and the bar looked like a shit hole. Luckily we were just “meeting there” and then finding...
There is still hope!
So things are looking pretty tasty this coming week in terms of new guys on my plate. There’s Rick (CoolMan24). He winked at me and sent me a short email sans spelling errors—always a turn-on. He looked reasonably cute in his profile photo, with a slight tendency toward albinism. Not usually my thing, but what is pigment anyway? A hot tan pales in comparison to a winning personality ;)....
Saks and 7 Eleven
My date with Tom? Major disappointment. I agreed to meet him at Saks in the jewelry department. (Don’t ask. It was his idea). As soon as I saw him my heart sank. Let’s just say his pictures were flattering, to put it mildly. His hair was speckled with grey, and not in a sexy George Clooney way, and he was definitely not 6’4” as he boasted in his profile. For a second I ...
Sunshine after the rain..?
So after all that hurricane crap, I’m back in town and ready for a date with Tom this weekend. We’ve been talking, well, emailing for a few weeks and just had a surprisingly unawkward pre-date convo. This one could be a winner: he’s 32, went to Princeton and has an apartment in Soho. Needless to say, I have high hopes. He’s also 6’4”! I’m really into tall guys....
