The start of something good?
August 2009
Reservations were set for dinner with JAG Man on Thursday night.
“Where are we going?” I asked him enthusiastically.
“A new steakhouse in town,” he replied.
“Hmm…Bourbon?”
“Newer,” he informed me.
“BLT Steak?”
“Newer. I don’t think you’ll guess it,” he teased, knowing that I hate surprises.
After we hung up, it hit me. The new W Hotel had [...]

A looong month — Prologue
2005
In trying to fill in the blanks regarding my relationships with Lawyer Boy and Baseball Boy, I realized that I jumped over the first weekend of April. In order to get the full perspective as to just how looong a month April of 2005 was, I’m rewinding for this post.
Water Boy and I had [...]

The Usual Suspects (aka Who’s Who)
I have had a “healthy” dating life. (Feel free to submit that comment for the understatement of the year.) Several people have asked for a chart or diagram so that they can easily remember the usual suspects or my main partners-in-crime. Before I get back to the next set of filling in the blanks, here’s [...]

“Mom, I think I have frostbite!”
February 1994
After The Diminutive Russian and I split up, my heart was broken. I was 20 years old and had moved down to DC for a guy who started out as a bad boyfriend and ended up even worse. I spent the next month, going to class at GWU, dancing on the platforms at The [...]

An interesting weekend — Part I
One of my friends is an amazing photographer and her work is being featured at Artomatic’s 10th Anniversary Event. I had missed her last several exhibits and really wanted to make it to the opening night of this one. I initially planned on going alone, but in the early afternoon this past Friday, [...]

They Can’t Handle The Truth!
A Few Good Men is a great movie, right? In the last scene, Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) argues that Tom Cruise’s character can’t handle the truth. Well, apparently, neither can my ex-boyfriends…
I’m not hiding the fact that I’m writing about any of these guys, but I do try to respect their privacy. That’s why [...]

One bar and way too many exes
1995
I had been dating Orioles Boy for several months. He won huge points for being there for me after GWU Boy broke my nose during sex. In some senses, Orioles Boy and I were very close. I spent almost every night at his place. We caught much of the season at [...]

The Diminutive Russian — another contender for Best Worst Boyfriend
Another contender for my Best Worst Boyfriend would be The Diminutive Russian. The year was 1993. I had recently arrived in DC for my college internship and was heading to Habana Village in Adams Morgan to meet some friends. Little did I know at the time how much impact the bartender at that salsa club [...]

Yes, I broke my nose having sex
GWU Boy and I were an almost-lethal combination. He was destined to be a rebound guy from the start. I was still in love with my ex, who happened to be one of GWU Boy’s friends. I also was pressuring GWU Boy to get serious at a time when he was interviewing for teaching positions [...]
