Friends, I have bittersweet news for you.
While I shall still be very much a part of the Splendicity family – you can find me at EBeautyDaily, ShopaholicsDaily, and the hair channel over there – this shall be my last Blistree Relationships post.
The absolutely fabulous Kelli DesRochers will be taking my place, and she will have some fun contests coming up for you very soon – along, with, I’m sure, tons of fun relationship/sex chat!
I, however, will be sure to comment all the time with updates on my own (nonexistent) love life.
Speaking of my love life, I watched He’s Not That …read more

Ya gotta love PlentyOfFish for being free so all the wackos can get on it.
I met this guy, right… he’s pretty much okay looking, just not what I’d be on the hunt for (I like DARK hair, darkest brown or black. I like tan or olive complexions. I like tall men. I like men where I can imagine myself wrapped up in their arms and feeling small and safe) but he was ok looking.
We chatted online for a day or so, and we had a lot in common. The fire department …read more

What constitutes a great First Date outfit? 
Joanna Goddard, who writes Smitten: Sex, Love & Life: at Glamour.com  asked her readers to submit photos of themselves in their favorite First Date Outfits.  What followed was pretty much what I expected -quite a few skirts, mostly of the shorter variety, as well as some jeans.  The ladies look more quirky-fashionable than the ladies in my small hometown, possibly bordering more along the lines of the Japanese college students who live across from me.  (Those girls are adorable).  The comments that accompanied the outfits were interesting and the impression that I gathered they are …read more

He was very nice, this guy I met on eHarmony for the first time about a week or so ago. My life is pretty crazy sometimes, and he was sweet, and patient, and had no trouble being the one to “chase” me a little, which is something I’ve secretly wanted to experience more of in my life.
He was born and raised in “The South”, and moved up here to Upstate NY in search of a better career. He was tall, over six-foot, with dark hair and really pretty blue-ish eyes. I finally agreed to meet up with him for dinner, …read more

Today, I took the Cosmo Quiz: Are You in Love or Forcing It? – Cosmopolitan.com, where I learned what I already suspected, I’m in real love. I’m not sure how scientific this quiz is, but it was fun to take.
Then, I clicked on Body Language – Reading a Mans Body Language – Cosmopolitan.com where I learned that the forehead-to-forehead pose that S and I leaned into for a photo yesterday is a sign of trust. Cosmo covers body language in many different aspects, including casual and serious dating, as well as sex and couples who are on …read more

There was a time when I felt like I was the Queen of first dates that rarely turned into a second date.  It was happening so often that I was beginning to develop a serious complex.  Thoughts of what might be wrong with me seemed commonplace and I actually avoided some dates simply because I didn’t want to feel that tinge of rejection I just knew was coming.
Perhaps a little life lesson in How to Get a Second Date would be beneficial to some who might not be able to see what’s happening to cause their lack of returns.
Some key …read more

This is the opposite of exclusivity in dating. More people means more options. Options equates to a higher probability of finding the right match. Uh, or is it?
I guess that’s what dating is actually for — options. It creates an ideal scenario wherein you get to try out something until you find that one thing that suits you best.
However, it doesn’t always work out that way, right?
I’ve never been in a situation wherein I’m actively “seeing” several people at one time. More often than not, I always end up seeing just one person and that’s that. I’ll find out after …read more

Who Knew?  Men and women communicate in very different ways…
Women communicate with hints, body language, sarcasm, and flirting when they’re first getting to know a man (one they like, that is).  They can either directly or indirectly let men know if they’re open to something more serious. 
Men are different (imagine!).  Men generally communicate with sarcasm, humor, cockiness and other “indirect” displays of status.  VERY RARELY will a man be able to honestly communicate to a woman whether or not he’s ready or capable of developing a meaningful relationship.   Aside from their sexual interests, men send very indirect signals about where …read more
