In the book Marry Him, Lori Gottlieb outlines her theory on why women in their 20’s and 30’s think they’re too good for most men. Actually, her claim is that many women feel that there’s something wrong with the men they date that makes them not good enough to marry. Women tend to be too picky [...]

I’ve often heard friends (and strangers in online forums) complain that dating in a small town is almost impossible. That makes sense in the abstract: in a small town, there are fewer people, and you already know more of them. On top of that, I suspect that people in small towns might be more inclined [...]

As Mike pointed out, it is true that most of us form relationships with people we come in regular contact with. That’s not just romantic relationships, but friendships and business relationships as well. There are many reasons for this: familiarity breeds comfort; often we’re in the same place as others on a regular basis because [...]

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 [...]

This year, the fourth of July had new meaning for me as I am just a few months away from celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday. Every teenager knows that this is the birthday that marks their independence from their parents. While it may be a small step in maturing into adulthood, it’s a [...]

I suppose it isn’t the most romantic story, telling your friends and family that you met your new spouse online because it was more convenient for you. But, I also think that it’s better than starting a collection of cats because you don’t want to be alone and meeting someone in person doesn’t seem [...]

From time to time I like to watch shows like the X games, these kids know no fear. They fly through the air on bicycles, motorcycles and skateboards doing flips and aerobatics. It looks very exciting and, on some level, I would love to still be able to do that. When I [...]

Many of the online dating sites offer incentives to get people to use their services. Just by logging in you can earn points (or coins). If you log in every day you’ll get placed higher in the search results. And some sites even allow you to pay more to get noticed. [...]

I think Mike’s Romeo and Juliet post was dead on with one exception: I don’t think the delusions had anything to do with age. Do adolescents tend to meet cute members of the opposite sex, hear a couple of funny comments, see them do one thing that could be construed as mildly commendable and then [...]

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 [...]
