Enter the search terms “dating at work” or “date a co-worker” (which many, many people do) and you’ll find tens of millions of results for each. Most of those articles and blog posts and advice-column responses say, in a nutshell, “DON’T!” Most of the others offer tips for exercising caution and not getting yourself into [...]

#1 Pure laziness.
When it comes to doing things the easy way, men are highly skilled experts. Dating a woman who already has small children is the TV dinner version the American dream. Men don’t want to spend 24 hours simmering a pot roast when Swanson makes a “Hungry-Man” meal that’s ready in minutes. [...]

One of the disadvantages of working in construction is that you don’t tend to meet very many people who are single. The majority of my customers are married couples, the bulk of which are retired. However, my job does take me to new locations and expose me to many environments. Today’s new [...]

In Mike’s recent post about online dating, he argued that advertising that you’re single and looking on an online dating site really wasn’t all that much different than advertising that you’re single and looking by getting dressed up and going out to a bar to “try and get noticed”.

I agree with Mike that our personal devices are isolating us, though I think that began long before social networking. iPods pretty much ruined the world by encouraging everyone to plug their ears before going out in public, making passing converation impossible.

During my junior year in college, I walked into the lobby of my dorm one afternoon and saw a man in a high school letter jacket. More to the point, a letter jacket from my high school, with my graduation year on the sleeve. The odd thing was, I didn’t recognize the guy at all. [...]

I suspect that if you ask five different people what a “long-term” relationship is, you’ll get five different answers. And I’m sure it does vary. Some people would probably say that it is a life-long commitment. Others might say that a relationship is long-term if you manage to sit through dinner without sneaking out the bathroom window [...]

A while ago I think I was in a relationship with a women. I say, “I think” because I’m not entirely certain. You see, she was a little flippant with regards to being considered “in a relationship” and would mysteriously dump me at random intervals. We seemed to be perfect for each other. [...]

It was a process that happened over a few weeks time. After ten years of marriage, she slowly began pulling away. Little by little, she crept away from a life that she had built with her husband and withdrew into her own private life. He could sense it. That presence [...]
