dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
How We Started
Now, dating is hard. No. It's difficult. You think you met a nice guy and then his idea of a good time is taking you out and drinking until you pass out so he can take advantage of your credit card or worse your drinking tab, and you're left to pay the bill of $105.60. Online dating is worse, you wait for a guy and some old dude shows up and you turn and walk the other way. Or you are shooting each other messages and it's getting good but then he sends the picture that you wish you never saw, but then your friends take advantage of the pic and they send a picture of their knees back to make it look like a butt. Sometimes you get lucky though and you try a few dates, they pay for your food like you are a princess. Then, you decided to have some fun and get some free food with it. So, I decided to meet this guy, who in the picture had blue hair and was wearing a leather jacket. We decided to meet at the front of the Boston Pizza. However, there were two entrances, which we did not think about. I was on the mall side and I waited and waited, then I was texting him saying "I don't see you" and then at the same time an old east Indian guy looked at his phone. All I could think was 'dear lord I hope not.' Anyways, I walked into the Boston Pizza and had to admit I was on a blind date and I was looking for a guy. I was about to walk outside when a slender guy wearing skinny jeans and a plaid shirt with black hair walked in. He removed his sunglasses and revealed his sky silver blue eyes. Nice. I thought. Nice. So far he is cute. The waitress took us to our table and he both smiled nervously at each other and then at the menu. I ordered an iced tea I believe and Cody ordered his Pepsi or Coke, I can't remember what Boston Pizza serves. I asked my date if he was willing to split a pizza.

5 Things NOT to Say on a First Date
Cuffing season, I mean, the Fourth of July and the season of Instagramable romance, is upon us, so I am here to help. Yes, dating has been covered ad nauseam by people who have written books, written mean tweets, written notes on napkins and the ones who have gone beyond the first date to the PHD of dating, meaning marriage, and maybe perhaps un-marriage. Everybody says the same thing to women: Don’t talk about marriage, kids and hyphenating names on first dates.

Going Out
This happened to me a while ago: being set up and then let down. Being asked out and then dropped like boiling oil. She seemed innocent enough. She told me she liked going to church on Wednesdays. She told me she had two older sisters. She seemed normal. I was wrong.

Here Are Your July 4th Fireworks
I am researching for my follow up book to my best seller, “ Hello Love, Where's Cupid? 2nd ed”—I now figured out the “secret” to how Tinder, Okcupid, and eHarmony (among others) operate—it’s all through a 10 factor algorithm. They do use some computer/human combos to detect misbehavior, but mostly it’s all based on artificial intelligence. There is no scientific method like eHarmony wants you to believe—by the way. I won't reveal the exact 10 factors, I will tell you that it works in a similar way that Netflix does. But one key factor is all about how well you honestly answer their questions that gets you matched with users of the site. So for all those folks who “fib” on answering those questions... you are in charge of your own fate (some what).

Couples Who Train Together Stay Together: Truth or Myth?
You see the phrase everywhere that couples who do certain things together will stay together longer. Maybe it’s playing video games, praying, watching television shows together, or some other activity. One of the more ubiquitous uses of this phrase is found in exercise and fitness circles. The idea that couples who train or work out together will be a stronger couple is fairly well known, but how true is it? Let’s look at what the research says.

A Situationship Featuring Me
Today’s blog is a continuation from my previous post. It’s a mixture of personal experiences and fiction—so of course, I had to change scenarios and all names involved. If you know this is about you, please don't say anything, because I will die of embarrassment.

Sometimes Girls Just Want to Have Fun
There he was, standing across the room, as he stood up from his chair to stretch. Body so chiseled, even with a dress shirt on, you still could see the structure of his chest. This man was every woman's dream. His name was Brandon and we worked together. He just started about two month ago.
