THE ANTI-DANCER
D. warned me he’s a terrible dancer. But I happen to love terrible dancers. I find them incredibly endearing and cute, plus they’re the most entertaining to watch on the dancefloor. Having grown up taking dance lessons, to me, every pose and posture is taken into serious account. Sometimes I care too much that I sacrifice fully enjoying myself at the mercy of appearing to be a prima ballerina...

I’m a 20-something who lives in a college town – an Ivy college town to be exact. While I’m not an Ivy graduate, I do believe I should score extra points for being an honors graduate from a great school, for being someone well traveled and who has done a lot of work for her college. All these things combined should make me a good match for some of these Ivy scholars… One...

SPEED DATING
I’m guilty of being overly-excited before some dates. While getting ready, I turn up my music, dance like I’m on “Dance Party USA” in its prime and maybe even have a glass of wine to ease up if I wasn’t eased up already.
But to show up to someone’s house completely lit, that I would never do. Which is why, when “Steve” rolled up to my house completely wrecked, not only was I insulted a date...

OY, GAY!
There’s a fine line between metrosexuals and homosexuals but it’s really not clear through the interchange of emails or between instant chat texts. You really have to meet someone face to face to find out their true colors – and exactly how many fabulous colors their personality is a propos.
“B” seemed like a regular guy at first except for the fact that he mentioned that he completely...

TO DRINK OR NOT TOO DRUNK?
Whitney is the type of girl who likes to have a good time. Never one to shy away from a hot after party on the weekend, she’s the type of girl that regards two cocktails with dinner as a mandatory daily ritual rather than an aperitif after a long day’s work. She filled me in on this quirky side to her personality at a hip spot on the Upper West Side, all the while insisting I do just one shot...

WEBCAM MAN
Nothing about the world wide web should come as a surprise anymore. Porn is abundant. You can shop for anything your heart desires, 24/7. There are infinite opinions on millions of topics, catering to every whim.
When it comes to online dating, a person whose online profile picture doesn’t match up in real life has become the norm. A polite, considerate first-time chat on the ‘net eventually...
THE CONVERSATION MONOPOLIZER
I love to talk. I could go on and on. And I often do. But I usually only pull that kind of self-involved behavior with my closest friends who consequently happen to be the very same ones to shut me up when I’ve overstepped the acceptable amount of “talking about me” time. Far be it for me to complain about someone else monopolizing a conversation for once. Which is why I finally met my match...
DATE SPOTS: THE PROS AND CONS
DINNER
PRO: You could (quite possibly) get a free meal.
CON: If you know you don’t like the guy by the time appetizers arrive, you’re stuck with him for the long haul, forcing very forced conversation. Add to that, a sense of guilt when the check comes and your conscience tells you to split the bill but your recession-minded frugal nature lets him cater to his sense of manhood when he...
NOT YOUR AVERAGE NON-JEW
With so much cross-gentrification and intermarriage going on everywhere, it’s hard to tell who’s Jewish and who isn’t just by looking. Sure, there’s the obvious curly head of hair commonly known as the “Jew-fro” or the stereotypical big nose (not so tenderly referred as the “Jew-nose”). Today, the most unobvious people you think aren’t Jews, end up being Jews. Conversely, it’s the ones you’re...

THE PIANO SHITTER
After breaking so many hearts and not even giving some hearts a chance to break, I knew I’d get my payback someday. I just didn’t think it would happen with “M”.
First of all, he was way older than me. Like fifteen years old “older” – definitely too age-old to play games with me. Initially, I didn’t want to go out with him because of the age factor. And, he also had some other flaws I was...
THE DOG KISSER
There are dog people and there are cat people. Sometimes, you get those who love both equally. Then there are those who don’t like either or. Quite frankly, I don’t trust a person who doesn’t like neither cats or dogs inasmuch as it creeps me out when a person likes their house pet just a little bit too much.
Now before you go calling me bitch for claiming there is such a thing as “liking...
DATE WITH A CATCH
Not all bad dates happens to us – a lot of times, they happen to others too. Thank goodness we’re not the only ones to suffer from bad dating luck! And thank even more goodness, horror dates don’t only happen to girls.
A guy friend relayed a story of what recently happened to him and we’re still laughing because it’s so outlandish, you can’t make this shit up and the look of post-traumatic...
CHEAPSKATE
After the whole “fatso” incident, I was more inclined to bend the rules these days. I decided I didn’t want to wait for prolonged periods of time before meeting in person only to wind up being disappointed nor did I wish to meet anyone at a restaurant, bar or lounge for the first time for the very same reason. I didn’t want to be forced into spending time in public with someone for the extended...
FATSO
A person’s online profile picture is worth a million dates only if their photograph measures up to what they look like in real life. Essentially, that’s what draws you to a virtual stranger to begin with, right? Looks.
What a disappointment it is when a prospective date doesn’t live up to your expectations, when you see them in the flesh for the first time. It’s even more disturbing when they...
HITLER DICK
The guy had everything – good looks and charm, a brand new BMW, a great job. I knew instantly, my mother would be happy with this one.
On our first date, he took me to a pricey, trendy restaurant in the Valley. I’d been there before but for the sake of keeping things fresh, I told I hadn’t. I definitely didn’t want to tell him that just last week, I went there on another first date with another...
THE BOY WHO CALLED DADDY
There’s nothing wrong with being a trust fund baby. Let’s face it, I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to be born shitting into golden diapers or receive a diamond-studded tricycle at age three. Big bucks in the bank, jet-setting on a whim, anywhere, anytime, fancy restaurants and couture – the prospect of it all rouses complete and utter awe.
So when I found out the dude was Trump-rich,...
