dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Maybe Your Wife Should Move Out?
Remember when you had a boyfriend or girlfriend in high school that you hung out with on the weekends? Maybe you had the same lunch period and you held hands the whole time? Okay—how about dating like that again, except you're an adult with your own home and your own responsibilities, and you're involved in a long-term committed relationship or marriage?

My Dating Woes
Dating is so complicated... Does anyone out there relate? I get it, no one is perfect and when you date someone, not only are you dating the good parts but you are also in a sense dating their baggage. I don't know... I got into the dating world two years ago. And ever since I feel like it's been this huge roller coaster. One downfall after another, and it seems like I just haven't caught a break.

I Saw Her Pants the Other Day
I saw her pants the other day—at least I think I saw her pants. She was wearing a dark blue silk blouse, tucked into pale blue silk trousers. As she danced around me, I could just about make out her dark boy-shorts through the translucent weave of her trousers. Boy-shorts or tucked in shirt; I couldn’t decide. You may think, "Shirt," and that I’m just a creep—but they finished in an even line, and had a symmetry that no amount of tucking in could hope to achieve.

Why I Will Never Sugar Date Again
“So, what do you, you know, like?” “Um, Netflix.” I stared at him from across the small table, unsure of what else I could say. Did I understand the question? Of course. I’m a thirty-one-year-old woman. I was on a date with a man forty years my senior, with five hundred dollars cash stuffed in my purse. I knew his exact intentions, and yet, I found myself taken aback.

From a Jail Cell to Wedding Bells
I just got back from an amazing trip to Belize with my boyfriend of 11 years! We’re pretty committed to taking a fun trip each year on our anniversary because celebrating all life’s big and little milestones is important to us. This time though, the trip was made extra special because he proposed!

How My Dating Life Should Be...
Every year that I have taught fifth grade, they have always been obsessed with my dating life. I typically do not divulge whether I am dating someone or not, but this just keeps them asking, and does not deter them as I hope. This year, nothing has changed, however they have been more open with what they are thinking is going on my life.

Dating a Younger Man
Sitting at my kitchen table, phone in hand and app store open. I'm debating about resurrecting the Bumble online dating app. I'll give it one more try. A chocolate Adonis graces my screen and I swipe right... we are a match! Since women have to make the first move, I send a message: "Hey handsome." While I wait for a response, I look at his profile. Chocolate (check), 5'11" (check), handsome (check), sexy (check), educated (check), 36 years old... a tad young to my 40 years, but not a huge deal.

The Five Male Hinge Personalities
The internet is surely largely to blame for the recent-ish trend of transmuting traits and preferences into full-blown personalities. Now, it is no longer enough to enjoy a glass of Prosecco; you must own a pair of socks that say "Be there in a Prosecco," that you will lounge around the house in along with your "it's Prosecco o'clock!" pyjamas, clutching your mug emblazoned with "there's too much coffee in my Prosecco!" Do you see what I'm saying? You do don't you. See also: liking pizza, having a pug, doing CrossFit, etc, etc, etc, etc.

The Loose Button
It was only 8:05 in the morning and someone standing near me was giving off an aroma of fried food. Dazed and somewhat awake, staring out into the subway tracks on the lookout for sewer rats (my usual routine), I stood waiting for the second train of my morning commute. From my peripherals, I could see the man next to me was the culprit for this fried food aroma, as he held on to a small bag from Chick-Fil-A. That same hand holding his unhealthy but I’m quite sure delicious breakfast featured a loose button, holding on by a thread (literally), from the sleeve of his tan pea coat.
