  • The Guy Who Proposes Before You've Even Met

    So I'm starting to lose faith in this whole online dating thing. While I thought my first date (The Frenchman) went really well, he never called after (no big deal, but kind of a blow to the ego). My second date (The Fra…

  • Meeting People

    A friend and I went out for dinner last night and when I mentioned that I had gone on a couple dates recently, she immediately wanted to know how I had managed that because it's so darn hard to meet people in this city. …

  • Why I have so many gay best friends

    Last night I received a card from my friend David. David is a fabulous gay man who I know through B (my most recent ex) and through our mutual friend Alana. David always said that I was too good for B and that he needed …

  • No More Pick Up Lines

    Why is it that only ugly guys seem to have the guts to actually approach girls? I suppose the attractive ones don't have to anymore... Thanks feminism (that's a rant for another day though). While I'm all for being able …

  • Tick Tock

    So this whole online dating thing... It's starting to take up an awful lot of time. All the reading and replying to messages. All the looking at people's profiles. All the questions you have to answer so you know if you'…

  • Saying Goodbye

    Yesterday I did something that I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to do: I ended things with my ex-boyfriend. Since most of you don't know me all that well, I will explain a bad habit of mine. I tend to let people walk all o…

  • The Frat Boy

    Yesterday I went out on my second online date - meaning date with a person I met online. He's nice, he's cute, he's affectionate and we get along well. But there are a few problems. 1. He lives with his parents. He's 24…

  • The Frenchman

    Last night I went out on my first meet-the-boy-you-met-on-an-internet-dating-site date. It actually went quite well. He looks like his picture and was cute, he was nice and polite, he didn't do anything weird or try to m…

  • Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger...

    My parents didn't grow up rich. In fact, they were downright poor. Everything they have now, they worked their butts off for. And I have learned a great work ethic from them. But that's not the point of this entry. The p…

  • Soulmates

    While I try to tell myself that I don't believe in soulmates - what with divorce rates being so high and all, and 6 billion people on the planet - I can't help but get sucked into that idea of "the one." You know what I'…

  • The Tickler

    So I signed up at okcupid.com to try this whole online dating thing, and thus far (about one week in) it's gone relatively well. Until the other night. I encountered my first creepy person. He seemed relatively normal a…

  • Google Ad Hilarity

    Just a quick update to say that when I was reading the comments on my previous post about kissing, the Google ads on the side were as follows: Oral Cancer Diagnosis? There is hope. Chat about treatment options w/ our on…

  • Kiss Me

    I love kissing. Kissing and cuddling are two of my favorite things in life. But when I encounter a bad kisser... *shudders* So I would like to give those people out there (particularly guys since that's where my experien…

  • Online dating?

    We live in an increasingly internet-oriented world. We blog, we email, we buy things online (even groceries these days), we watch movies and tv online, we look for jobs online... So why not look for a potential boyfriend…

  • Whine whine whine

    I know this is going to be a bit harsh, but I have to say it. I've noticed a rather high percentage of the small number of bloggers on this very new datingish site seem to be girls whining about being single. I have to s…

  • What to do with the stuff?

    Having recently gone through a breakup, I was confronted with the question of "what do you do with the ex's stuff?" You know, the stuffed animals, the sweatshirt, the kitchy souvenirs from his trip to Yellowstone... Let'…

  • At what age should one start dating?

    This is inspired by SweetCupcakee's entry about her first boyfriend in 3rd grade. I read it and I thought to myself, "3rd grade? That's so young!" Then I thought over my early history with boys and pondered when is an ap…

  • The clingy ex-boyfriend?

    I'm experiencing something new to me in the various types of break-ups: the guy who dumps me and then calls me EVERY SINGLE DAY. And when I don't answer because I'm in a movie or at dinner with friends, he texts me. T…

  • An Introduction

    Since this is my first official post on "datingish," I thought I would introduce myself and say a little bit about where I am now. As my username suggests, I am a hopeless romantic. I am boy crazy to the max. I love hav…

  • Since most of what I blogged about on my xanga was dating-related anyway, I figured I'd give this new datingish site a try.
