I Don’t Want to Date Myself
I know a lot of people who won’t date someone that has the same name as one their exes. It sounds kind of silly and superstitious but I totally understand. I could get on my soap box and talk about how everyone is different regardless of their name and they should all be given a …

Not a List, but a Template
When I dated my first girlfriend, I dated her because she was cute, fun, and because she actually wanted to date me. I’m not trying to say that she didn’t have any attractive or noble qualities, I’m admitting out how shallow and immature I was. We didn’t date for long, we had fun, and then …

I’m not sure how long this has gone on for, but every week when I talk to my Dad on the phone, he asks me if I have any good news. So I tell him “I still have a job, that’s good news, right?”, but I know this is not the good news that he’s …

A Handshake Deal
(This is fiction. Trust me.) “Do you want to take my hand?” and the girl said, “Take it where?”. And although he afterwards thought he should have said, “Everywhere”, he only just mumbled. – Looper “Impossible Things #2″ It was a Friday when David called me. I was surprised when I saw his name come …

The Grind Date
I’ve never been on a blind date. I’ve been rejected more times than I’d like to admit, but none of my rejections have come via a blind date or by being setup via a friend or family member. I’m not sure if I would take the opportunity if it ever came up, not because I …

Scarred for Life
When I was 9 years old, I fell and needed stitches in my forehead. The fall was somewhere between 5-10 feet off the ground and I was knocked unconscious. I’m not sure how long I was out, I just know I came to while being carried to my parents’ car. I never opened my eyes …
