That first week in August 2010, I let Best Boy set the tone about how often we saw each other. That seemed to work well, as I saw him four times within seven nights. Sex was definitely the focus of our time together, but while he was over, we also managed to catch up, watch […]
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 […]
I put a link to my blog on Facebook to increase traffic, and got an interesting comment from an ex-boyfriend, The Beef, about how he should move back to DC. I'm not sure if he meant that he would do better in this town than most guys or that I would do better dating him, […]
It was Fall 2008 when I first saw her. My life was so different then. This was before the blog, when I was finishing my graduate thesis and planning to return to legal services. I had been thinking about moving to a pet-friendly apartment and getting a dog, and I kept coming back to this photo on HART’s […]
Let’s tackle a reader’s question from Formspring! Question: I have a best friend, Jenn, that’s been dating her boyfriend, Joe, for about six years. He’s in jail. It’s been one year, and Jenn has been waiting for him. She moved in with Joe’s parents. She told me a month ago that she slept with another […]
This is an oldie (a dating adventure from 2002), but a goodie. I met Michael at Cheesecake Factory on a Saturday morning. That should have be enough of a sign that he wasn't going to be my Prince Charming. But, he was tall and very attractive with light black skin and a Georgetown degree so […]
I was really looking forward to my date with Brooklyn Boy and saw the evening as a chance for us to get to know each other better. We went to a nice lounge in Chelsea and a casual, Asian-fusion restaurant in Union Square. I’m not one who requires a guy to be overly chivalrous or […]
Four years ago, this blog didn’t exist. I was in a relationship with Lawyer Boy and thinking that I needed to end things for my own well being. Three years ago, I was blogging regularly and getting the hang of Twitter. I was living with “Buckeyes” Boy, but I began to question his sincerity. Two […]
To paraphrase Charles Dickens, 2011 was the best of times and the worst of times for me. Lessons I wish that I didn’t have to learn this past year: That chemotherapy, the accompanying medications and low blood counts cause you to forget a lot of things that happened during treatment That two people I considered […]
Twenty Eleven Started year in chemo haze In my bed? Best Boy. He said he loves me But does that mean he’s in love? Neither of us know. Winter beach weekend With close friend, ex Philly Matt My Teddy Ruxpin! Well, not anymore. “Tsunami” ensues as beach. Friendship is over. Mr. Agency Reappears. Then disappears. […]
