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 […]

MoreThis is Alan. Alan is an a***hole. (Sorry to anyone who thought I was just about to spray the last guy I dated. I could … but I won’t. Mostly because his name wasn’t Alan. And also because I’m a nice person *cough, cough*) Don’t be fooled by Alan’s happy-go-lucky, goldfish looking exterior. He’s got […]
MoreMan drought. These two simple words can strike fear into the hearts of most 30-something single women. Not because we aren’t happy being single *cough, cough*, but because when push comes to shove, the prospect that there may not be enough fellas to go around tends to induce a slight panic attack.
