Sometimes I have abstract ideas but bare with me. A few years back I read a blog by a guy who says he carries two sets of shoes to work: one pair as business attire and one for those LONG trips to the bathroom. He went on to say that the embarrassment of what he’d sometimes leave behind in the restroom was enough to make him want to disassociate himself from it completely. Soooo, he changed shoes.
The relationship is going great! Everything across the board is satisfied including conversation, attraction, personality, interests, intimacy, etc. I really can’t complain. We’re even traveling, and visiting different places you only see in pictures and movies. I’m doing things I’ve never imagined doing, from horseback riding and even catching Broadway plays. Oh and how can I forget, we’re even thinking about moving in together. Who knows, maybe get married and start a family while we’re at it. Well maybe I’m … Continue reading

Do you have a friend who settles with a partner only because of what she does for a living? Well, I do! Once upon a time, long, long ago, I met an interesting person who I thought was very capable of being “the one.” My friends and family thought the same, but for different reasons. They wanted me to settle all because she had a well-paying job. Never mind her personality, how well we connected, or even her looks. They … Continue reading

It doesn’t happen often but now and then I am given the opportunity to engage in sex that is completely casual in its nature. At these times I always doubt that it is as good as it seems: carefree, light and enjoyable. Sex is usually weighed down by too much thinking and emotional baggage (not to mention the look of disapproval you get when the girl you’re with realizes that she’s not the only one). It is refreshing to know … Continue reading
The other night I had dinner with a lovely woman that shall remain nameless. Let’s call her Ms. X. I’ve known Ms. X for a while now so it was a very friendly/casual/light-hearted evening. One topic of discussion I could never avoid with single women is that of relationships. When this topic arises I snap on the bravado of an expert marksman and begin to fire sharp remarks that blasts through the bullshit. What is the bullshit? She had that … Continue reading

Ever woke up and thought to yourself maybe today is the day I call out from work? It could be for many important reasons or simply because you just don’t have the energy to go to in. I used to have that same feeling and until something amazing happened at my job. We hired a new employee and it wasn’t just any ole employee. This one was different; this one had something about her that caught my wondering eyes. I … Continue reading
