Dressing for a date (especially a first one!) is something that women everywhere stress about.  There is the classic scene where a woman changes her outfit a million times and ends up in her bra and panties when the date arrives to pick her up.  This Fall pick out a few sexy pieces and create some go-to outfits so you are completely prepared when you have a date or an outing that might involve meeting someone with dating potential.
Fall is sometimes a little difficult to dress for because it’s in-between summer dresses and coats and scarves.  Remember that you don’t …read more

My best friend tweeted today, telling me about an interesting experience she had on a road trip.
Her friend and her were driving along a northeast highway when a trucker honked at them from the next lane.
A transcript of her tweets. “Some man just drove past our car blowing kisses. Then he drove past with a sign, show me your boobs. Not even kidding.”
“We gave him the finger. He deserved it!”
Now, seriously – if there are any men reading this, help me out – why would you do this? Why do construction workers whistle? Do any of you think that acting …read more

Are we jaded in our friendships with opposite sex?
My dentist – a highly attractive, but much older, married man, has asked me out to dinner. He wants to consult with me about some social networking he may be doing for the memoirs he is writing.
I had assumed we would meet at a restaurant, but he just emailed and suggest we meet at his apartment, because he has wi-fi there, and then after that, we’d find something “yummy”.
At face value, it makes sense. One can not look at a computer screen and talk biz while sipping margaritas and eating chips.
But then …read more

On October 28th, Lara posted the following poll, “If you could pick one dating site to use, which would it be?”
Out of a total of 19 votes the winning answer was “None, they all suck,” with 7 votes. Five places got 2 votes a piece: Match.com, Plenty of Fish.com, Yahoo Personals, Lavalife.com, and OkCupid.
I don’t believe that any of the services suck. Maybe sometimes the people who use the services aren’t as motivated or as sincere as we’d like them to be, but that’s not the fault of the service, in my opinion.
If you checked “they all suck,” then is it …read more

This is another guest post from Eliza Ferree.
Oh, the pains we go through to impress those others when we go on a date. I
remember as a teen how friends would try to learn to smoke just so
they could get the eye of some popular or older boy. Or those boys
that would try speeding down the road to impress the girl in the car,
that is until they were pulled over and given a speeding ticket. Or
the ones that would take their date to a bonfire and tell her how big
it was to go to an “adult” party, only to find
out it was a …read more

Today we’ve got a guest post from my good friend, Eliza Ferree…….
We all know it sometimes takes a lot to date again, especially after
a divorce whether it was a quiet one or public. Of course that hasn’t
stopped Guy Ritchie, who just called it quits with Madonna. His new gal
happens to be Jemima Khan, the millionaire that was last with Hugh
Grant.  This is currently only a rumor, but the two have been spotted
hanging out at dinner parties in London and they seem really
close. 
My question to all you readers, how long should one wait after a
divorce before they begin dating?

Eliza Ferree can …read more

I read today that Jamie Foxx will not allow his 14-year-old daughter to date because she looks older than her age.  Here’s the quote that I read:

Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has banned his teenage daughter from dating after the press confused the 14-year-old girl for the actor’s latest flame.
According to contactmusic.com, the actor/singer admits he’s become overprotective of his young daughter, Corrine, because men often think she’s twice her age.
“She’s not going to date until she’s married. She’s so beautiful…I was coming out of a restaurant with her, I guess the paparazzi didn’t know who she was, and the paper …read more

How are you doing with the New Year’s Eve date quest?  Do you have something lined up?  Or some sort of alternate plan. I’ve got nothing, which is probably for the best, because I’ve got to get up early on the 1st to drive 6 hours to my sister’s house.
I’ve been going through the steps. Taking my own advice. I’ve been smiling at everybody I see (which I’m afraid is starting to scare people), I’ve updated my look (love that new Spinlash), I fine-tuned my Match.com profile, and I even chatted up a good-looking guy at Barnes and Noble (okay …read more

I haven’t heard from my boyfriend for a long time again, so dating someone new is something that I’m giving a lot of thought to. I love my boyfriend, but I don’t like him very much. He really isn’t much a boyfriend anymore, at all. He’s a poor friend, at the very least.
My friend, Jackie, went on a lunch date the other day and while she did not spark with the guy, she did say that he was nice and someone she’d want for a friend.  She said that he seemed my type. For some reason, this really caught my interest. I …read more
