Of bad dates and good intentions

I went on what was arguably the worst date ever. Thank God, it was neither tragic nor violent, but in the category of terribly disappointing, it was the worst.

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.

Déja Date

They say that familiarity breeds contempt, but I\’m thinking that when you meet so many strangers in so short a time, familiarity might just breed comfort. You see a guy\’s picture 20 times, you begin to feel you know him. Maybe the first time he wrote to you, you weren\’t sure about him — maybe he even creeped you out — but a year or two later he practically seems like family (possibly that family member you want to avoid, but family nonetheless).

Singles – Imperfect One and Only

I have a friend who answered one of these \”too-good-to-be-true\” ads. They met for brunch and she knew right away it wasn\’t going to work out because he glanced at the menu and then said, \”So, do you want to split an order of toast?\”

Unhappy New Year!

OK, I\’ll be absolutely honest — I spent this past New Year\’s Eve alone. Sure, I could have salvaged the situation with a round of frantic last-minute calling, but I never got around to it because I had to go and get into a fight. Fortunately, I was the only one who got hurt. You see, I picked a fight with myself. And on New Year\’s Eve day, no less. Almost out of nowhere and with virtually no warning, I started in on myself.

Our Date With Drew’s Date

There are plenty of guys with crushes on Drew Barrymore, the actress who began as a child ingénue at age 6 in \”E.T.\” and who captivates as an adult in sexier roles like her turn as one of \”Charlie\’s Angels.\”

Thanks, but No Thanks

As far as I know, there are no such things as federal laws pertaining to dating. Oh, sure, there was that book \”The Rules,\” a few years back, but those weren\’t federal laws; those were simply man-made, or rather, woman-made rules or suggestions. As to why there are no federal laws governing dating — that\’s a no-brainer.

A Numbers Game

A few months ago, I scribbled out a Web site, bought a camera, hired a director, raised $42,000 and embarked on a journey across

the United States.

\”I\’m looking for true love,\” I told my father, \”even if she\’s husking corn in Iowa.\”
