Kiss Me You Fool!

by Jerri on June 12, 2009

Guest post from Jerri. So …I have been kinda seeing this guy now. I like him. And he’s way hot …just one thing… he doesn’t like to kiss (!??!) The first time we kissed, I initiated it and he claimed I almost took his lip off. Afterwards I spent much time thinking he just wasn’t into me since he never kissed me and I didn’t make the first move again.

April 14, 2009

Today’s post is written by Priscilla San Remo. I’m not supposed to be dating right now, but since part of my Dating Detox homework is to figure out what I like in my dates, I decided to do a little window shopping.

Doing the Dating Detox

March 31, 2009

Today’s post is written by Priscilla San Remo. Anyone who knows me is aware that lately the men in my world have been working my last nerve. There are those who get off with just a warning: the flakes who don’t call when they say they will; the agonizers who want to email indefinitely through online dating sites without ever making a phone call; and the fools who don’t read my dating profile and contact me anyway, regardless of how mismatched we are.
