Dudes, I am losing the thread of this dating thing. Here’s where we stand: Lieu Current conditions: Cloudy, with an omnipresent chance of disappearance. I think he is interpreting our open relationship differently than I am. Actually, I strongly suspect that he is distracted by dating someone else. I know! Who could ever have predicted [...]

via DesignCrush OK, this is not actually how I personally deal with sadness (I’m more long naps and carbohydrates) but I think it’s an excellent ambition, and one we all should emulate.

Dear C_Girl: We, your ovaries, would like to immediately recall all of the good eggs we have carelessly released over the past 24 years. True, some of them were duds, and would have produced only dumpy, towheaded moppets with blurry features and a dull intellect.

That last post was a little bit…weepy. I thought it might make me feel better to mock other people for a while, and catalog their imperfections instead of my own (I have my whole life to do that, and you should see my drafts folder!) (Thanks for all the comments and emails too, by the [...]

Right now the sky is dark and ominous, the air heavy and torpid, and if this were a novel I’d be using that as a device to let you know what my mood is like, but this is just another inane blog so I’ll be blunt: This is not a happy post. I am not [...]

I knew I should not have gone on this date. I knew it when we set it up last week, and I knew it with growing certainty all day today. But I believe that dating is a numbers game, and that people–myself included–don’t necessarily know what they actually do and don’t like in a partner. [...]
