He didn't hold the door; that's the one thing your date must do. Or, maybe he reminds you of your ex or maybe he just disgusts you. Whatever it is, it's been 45 minutes and you already can't stand this guy.
There are ways to get out of the date without it being too awkward. Here are some tips:
Plan it to be short. A drink, a cup of coffee, a…

Since college my friends have oft teased me for my music choices. I like a lot of different types of music but I have always had a soft spot for Usher, which, according to my friends, is very funny.
I don't know why I love Usher so much. I recognize that I am not his target demographic, but I can't get enough of him…

A man walked up to me in a bar and asked "What's the worst pick-up line a man's ever given you?"
I responded, "Is this your pick up line? Because this might be the worst."
Of course he said no, and went on to say that he and his friend (pointing across the bar) were just talking about lines so he thought he'd ask us because we looked like we might know.
My…

I saw on CNN today that 34 percent of women over 40 were dating younger men, and 35 percent preferred it to dating older men. I would have guessed it was the reverse, and I wonder if the cougar factor is actually real. (Cougar =a middle-aged (or above) woman, dressed to the nines, out on the prowl looking for young (20-35 year old) men).
Whatever it is I think it…

I know prostitution is the oldest profession. I know hookers are people too. I know sex is just sex. I get it. But here's a tip: when on a first date don't tell someone that you've slept with one.
I met a man named Todd through a friend of a friend. He was athletic, attractive, formerly a successful day trader turned high school teacher, and polite. He was great on paper…

I hadn't heard of this special designation until recently, but USA Week, as it is commonly referred to, is a week dedicated to celebrating the lives of the unmarried.
We're just as enlightened, we're just as successful, and we contribute just as much as the married population. In fact, according to the US Census Bureau, 92 million, or 42% of us over 18 are single. Less than half, but more than…

OK, maybe it doesn't actually stink, but I don't like it.
I had a boyfriend once who wore holey underwear. I used to come over to his place with new pairs and sneak them into his drawer. The first time he noticed right away saying: "I prefer Calvin Klein, not Hanes."
"I don't care what you like; just wear some without so many holes," I said.
He didn't. I came over a few…

1) I am one.
2) Don't write what these people wrote their profiles:
I'm looking for my Prince Charles. (I say: No pressure, really...eyes rolling)
I have a cat and I expect you to spend 10 minutes alone with him on our first date. His approval is necessary for a second date. (I say: Stop. Just stop.)
I don't really know what I am looking for, someone I guess. (I… Continue reading
