4 Signs Your First Date with Him Should be Your last

3 Comments

A beautiful woman on a date with a man.
Here are 4 signs he doesn't deserve a second date.

All relationships have to start somewhere – and that somewhere, most of the time, is on a first date.

So how do we know after that first date if the guy is deserving of our company for date number two? Well, there are several ways.

I’ve heard of women who will give their date a test of some sort, such as refusing a menu and asking their date to order for her, or trying to pick up the check at the end of the date, in order to see how he reacts, in the hopes of gleaning some insight into his personality.

Although I’ve never gone the route of intentionally doing something to “test” my date, I’ve realized over the years that there are certain signs that just spell trouble down the road. Continue Reading

To Love is to Risk

Street sign saying the words risk ahead.
There's always the risk of getting hurt.

Some email correspondence I had with a reader last week got me to thinking about how life is really all about taking risks. And how anything worth having usually requires risking something of ourselves.

Like love.

Especially when we’re talking about love in the truest sense of the word.

Because when we put ourselves out there and share part of ourselves with another person, whether it’s in the emotional or physical sense, there’s always the risk that our feelings will not be reciprocated; that someone else may take advantage of our good will, our purest intentions, our selfless love.

And there’s always the risk that we will be hurt in the process.Continue Reading

Dress Rehearsal

Leave a Comment

A man and a woman peek out from behind a curtain on a stage.
Treat this time like it's a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

I remember how sad I was when I first heard the news from my best friend. She told me she was getting divorced.

You might remember her – she was my married friend who I, single and so very alone, would often spend Christmas with, wishing I had her perfect life.

Her life so complete, with the husband, kids, house and family dog, doing all of the things happy families do. The kinds of things that I could only dream about back then.

Well, as happy and perfect as they seemed back then, in the end she and her husband got divorced. It came as such a shock to me; my friend with the perfect life that’s no longer perfect. Continue Reading

How Doing ONE Thing Differently Can Bring LOVE Into Your Life

6 Comments

A beautiful smiling woman is loving her life.
If you can just do this one thing, you can't help but attract love into your life.

I’ve learned many things since my single days.  Some are things that I regret doing and wish that I had done differently, and some are things that I regret not doing in the first place. 

It’s this second group that leaves your body aching with the painful regret of missed opportunities, of what could have been.

If I could go back and do one thing differently, it would be that I would have chosen consciously to always do what I love doing.  You see, when you love what you are doing, you are loving life.Continue Reading

The Absolute Best Place to Meet Mr. Right

6 Comments

The stereotypical places to meet men are not always the best. A view of a strip of bars and restaurants.
The stereotypical places to meet men are not necessarily the best.

We've all read articles or heard about the supposedly great places to meet men – places like the gym, the supermarket, the dog park, and of course the age old meeting place, the bar.

In my dating days, if I saw one of these lists with something on there I hadn’t tried yet I immediately made plans to try it the next chance I got.

I remember when I first heard that the grocery store was a great place to meet men.

What did I do?

I headed for the grocery store. During the hours of 7-9 PM. Because that was when they (whoever that particular they authority happened to be at the time) said was the most likely time to meet single men in grocery stores.Continue Reading

Are You Too Understanding?

13 Comments

A woman stands in front of her boyfriend scratching her head, wondering if she's too understanding.
There's a reason he loves how understanding you are.

I was thinking about the last post Why Won’t He Commit? 7 Things You Can Do to Move Things Along, and I realized that there’s a common theme I’m seeing among those of us who hang around far too long, waiting for a guy to come around and commit to us.

You know, the one we’re convinced could be the love of our lives if he would just come to his senses and realize that he doesn’t want to lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Tell me if this doesn’t sound familiar. You’re so understanding. You understand.

I understand. It’s understandable. Do you hear that? Understanding. We’re all just so understanding!Continue Reading
