Brat.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with meeting for coffee, and you know it. I’m talking about the significant number of men (maybe women do this, too–I never see their profiles, so I don’t know) who explicitly announce that they want to meet for coffee so as not to waste their time on someone [...]

It seems to me that if I were truly “jaded” I would have a more pessimistic outlook of online dating. I wouldn’t be so quick to point out that wanting to meet for a cup of coffee is superficial and shallow. Actually, it sounds like a good approach to me (No, that’s not [...]

I’m sure he’ll have more to say on the subject (you may already [...]

I’m a middle aged single Dad, raising a teenage daughter who lives with me. I’m a Dad by choice but the single (and middle aged) part…not so much. So, finding time to meet women who are dating prospects is challenging. Online dating sites seemed to be the way to go. I [...]

We were in the middle of an email exchange about relationships when my friend Mike said, “We should be having this conversation on a blog.” It was an obvious diversionary tactic, designed to distract me from the fact that he was Entirely Wrong About Women, but I took the bait anyway.
Dating can be tough, [...]
