My Single Peeps: Guershon M.

The most embarrassing aspect of Guershon’s life is that he’s 34 and lives with his mom, so of course I’ll lead with that. “I started film school and I [moved in with my mom], and the hardest thing for me was it seemed like [my friends] had all their s— together. It was really hard for me to really go out a lot and date … and it’s gotten progressively harder. It’s kind of hard to say, ‘Yeah, I live at home.’ It was really embarrassing — especially when I hit 30. Then I started seeing my friends where I lived saying, ‘I got laid off. I can’t believe it, but I have to live with my parents again.’ So I said, ‘OK, this leveled the playing field a little for me.’ ”

My Single Peeps: Isaac S.

When Isaac sits down to speak with me, I see the rugged beard with a shot of gray around the chin, the athletic build and the tight-fitting Israeli-style clothes, and I think, “I know exactly who this guy is.” He has an Israeli accent, so when he first says to me, “In Israel I was in the army and then came here and worked as a professional dancer,” I’m not sure I’ve heard correctly. A dancer? I ask him to repeat himself.

I’ll try it!

The thing about reaching \”I\’ll try it\” is that you are daring to imagine that things can work out for the best, and that you can add another activity to the list of common likes.

The Candy Man Can

If you\’ve ever tried to split a Big Hunk candy bar — the kind made out of brittle white nougat and peanuts — then you understand a typical breakup.

No Deposit, No Return

Dating is difficult enough without asking for a guarantee. Imagine my surprise when the last guy I went out with wanted just that.

‘Talk to You Soon’

A short time ago, in a galaxy all too familiar, a smart, adorable guy I\’d been chatting with for months faded — like one too many others — into oblivion. The red flags were raised from day one.

Singles – Painted Clowns

I\’m drinking at a bar called the Dirty Horse on Hollywood Boulevard. Well, that\’s not the real name, but I never got a look at the sign and that name seemed right.

Singles – Want, Not Want

Relationships in my life never seem to end. Guys are always calling me back, weeks, months, years later. My life is like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie: He\’ll be back. After a breakup I try to remember this, that there are never any goodbyes, just au revoirs. Trickle Trickle Drip Drip.
