“Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” – Charlotte York

Over the past year I’ve neglected this blog but at the urging of my nearest and dearest, I’m back! I have tons of stories to update, both personal experiences and those shared by my girlfriends who share #thestruggle. As for me? I surrender. No, really. I give up. I’m sure you’ve heard of Bumble by […]

“Y’see, this is why I don’t date — the men out there are freaks.” ~ Miranda Hobbes

I. Give. Up. Seriously, I must have some “assholes of NYC, come find me” radar. I’ve decided to join a convent and become a nun. Ok, maybe not, but I really am on the verge of swearing off dating for life. Lets start with the basics of my inbox this week…there’s the man who looks […]

“This love stuff is a motherfucker.” ~ Samantha Jones

I apologize in advance for this post being all over the place, but such is my life. Lets start with the fun stuff…my online dating inbox. It’s getting a bit ridiculous, its also really hard to keep up with everyone I do engage in conversation with. I’m thinking about starting a spreadsheet with their stats. […]

“One of the reasons some people still risk the possible horror of a first date is the possible magic of the goodnight kiss at the front door.” ~ Carrie Bradshaw

72 hours. Three first dates. Yep, I’m exhausted but I did it. I was actually scheduled to have four dates this week but had to reschedule someone as I simply cannot do another 2 hour conversation of “where are you from? what do you do? do you have siblings? how do you find dating in […]

Aleksandr Petrovosky 2.0 Part II

So back to the italian (Part I here), the man of my dreams…or so I thought. After our London trip, I was concerned…concerned about his OCD, his mood swings, the sex…just concerned. We continued to talk everyday, but something changed. The butterflies in the stomach were officially dead and gone. I felt like I was going […]

“Do any of you have a completely unremarkable friend or maybe a houseplant I could go to dinner with on Saturday night?” ~ Miranda Hobbes

A quick pause on the Italian Love Affair story for a check in on my current dating life aka tumbleweed central. As I’ve shared, I’m currently online dating and of course there are many special characters that flood my inbox, for example: Interesting….maybe those spelling/grammar errors were just autocorrect mistakes Nope, nope, I think those are just you […]

Aleksandr Petrovsky 2.0 Part I

From as far back as I can remember, I had this idea in my mind that I would meet and marry a distinguished italian business man. I could see him in my teenage dreams, tall, slender, dark features, hair not too long but not too short, eyes that would make any woman melt, italian accent, […]

“Men are bullshit.” ~ Carrie Bradshaw

I know it’s a bit harsh, but I’ve had a rough week – sue me. Scratch that, its been a rough few weeks. Let me give you some context… A few weeks back I decided to join an online dating site. I was bored, and if nothing else it’d keep me entertained. And entertained I […]

“I do not pick the wrong guys. They pick me.” ~ Carrie Bradshaw

My love life could be a book, a comedy, but not the romantic comedy type we all love with the happily ever after ending. Nope, mine would consist of stalkers, assholes, married men, panic attacks, and just about every possible variation of a bad first date. National surveys come out every year ranking New York […]
