The “Married” Guy

[Disclaimer: this is not a story for grandmas, moms, dads, brothers or the faint of heart. Shocking language is involved.] Went out with wingman… wingwoman… wingperson extraordinaire, Grace Kelle the other night. While shopping for a few good men (for me.)

My First Crush(er)

In 1987, I had my very first crush. I was 5 and Wesley Crusher was a baby-faced nuisance on the starship Enterprise. Wil Wheaton’s Crusher was met with resistance by the fans. But to that 5 year old nerdy girl, he was quite dreamy!! And eventually he became a dashing man in uniform. Wil Wheaton…

Now that’s romantic!

As a modern woman who knows only of romance via TV and movies, the smallest gesture becomes monumental. Because the truth is that we (modern women) are so rarely exposed to gestures of the romantic persuasion. And it would be so simple, men! So simple to impress us. So easy to knock our socks off.…

What is wrong with me?

Sometimes, despite my better nature and good intentions, I can be a real B! For example… I got off the bus from Jersey at Port Authority in NY and this normal, nice guy approached me. He said he’d noticed me on the bus and wondered if I took it into the city regularly. (Which I…
