Just Say No
I went to the gym today with a friend of mine for a post-Thanksgiving spin class (thank God!). She asked if I had updated my blog. “Not since before Thanksgiving,” I replied. “Did you see the article in the Style section this weekend?” she asked. “No.” “It’s about taking a break from the whole dating

Even More Thoughts on Online Dating
Well, at least the latest New York Times piece on online dating, Romance 2.0, is a bit more on the mark than the last one I read. In fact, in the magazine format, there is a quote highlighted that pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter. “But if flirting in the real world

What’s in a Name?
I would love to get some reader feedback on this one. As a single woman dating in New York, I have noticed a trend among my peers. Until someone actually moves up to the status of “boyfriend,” (and sometimes even after that) he tends to get dubbed with a nickname. This way, your friends don’t

The Perfect Non-Date/Date
Last week, I went on a perfect date. We started out at Caracas, the Venezuelan arepa bar in the East Village for a light snack. Conversation flowed effortlessly. We moved on to see a performance of Matt & Ben at P.S. 122, a funny play made all the more endearing because my date and I
