Last week I received a couple of messages that came across as kind of cranky from a date who thought I was giving him the brush off when I said I was too busy that week for a second date. While I actually wasn’t giving him the brush off to begin with, I then decided […]
MoreI love baking; I bake for my friends, my colleagues, my family and, sometimes for the lucky few, my dates—although offering up something you’ve cooked just for them sometimes feels a bit more intimate than whipping off your clothes and getting down to business can be. It’s a little like coming right out and saying, […]
More“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.” —Groucho Marx— Whether you are online dating, or catching up with people you met IRL (in real life), it’s inevitable that bad dates will happen.

Firstly, I’m not sure I’m ready for marriage and, secondly, no one likes being dumped. If you’re anything […]
