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 actually believe there are [...]

I can look at a woman and just know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she would be a miserable person to date. I’ll know that her life is out of control and she’s wildly unstable and prone to massive mood swings. I’ll know that she’s manipulative and an absolute master at [...]

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 [...]

Remember those days, in elementary school, hearing things like, “my Dad can beat up your Dad”? It wasn’t a threat, it was a glimpse at our competitive nature. Games like Marbles or Pokemon were all competitions to collect the most stuff.
As adults, we still do the same thing. We don’t want the American [...]

Recently, I ran a keyword density analysis on this blog and made an interesting discovery: though the name of the blog is “Life, Love and Online Dating” and our subject is dating and relationships, somehow Mike and I had gotten 115 posts and about a year into this endeavour without once using the word “love” [...]
