QOTD – What did you do on your favorite date?

Hello, Mother Nature, you fabulous looking lady!  It looks like spring has finally decided to start springing! I was away from the office unexpectedly the last two days of last week.  When I was last here, it still looked rather gloomy. Now the technicolour is popping out – the grass is much greener, dotted with [...]

QOTD – Do your friends get a say?

Sooner or later in your dating life, you reach the point of introducing that  potential special someone to your friends. Most of us get nervous about this and just pray it goes well. Sometimes it does. Other times, not so much. How much influence does your friends opinions have on your decision to keep seeing [...]

For the mothers in my life… My ode to you!

I had not intended to write a Mother’s Day blog post at all. It really is not what my focus here is about. Also, I am not terribly fond of Mother’s Day myself.  Yes, it is important to acknowledge those in a motherly role, but I very much feel that it is something that should [...]

QOTD – First (few) date ideas. What are your favorites?

Let’s face it – meeting for coffee or drinks gets old quickly. Especially when you are heavily in the dating rotation. Sure, it is the safe choice but also keep in mind that your choice of date activity on those first few is a great way to let your personality shine and set you apart [...]

Nice Girl = Game Over! Or does it?

As the old adage goes, “Nice guys finish last!” It is not fair to apply that solely to the guys, as I know some wonderful girls that fall into this old cliché. I am a nice girl! There. It is out there in black & white for all of the interwebs to read. Almost feels [...]

#QOTD – What gross behaviour have you encountered on a date?

Firstly, thank you (I think! ) to @Smudged  for today’s question of the day. Drum roll please… What is the most disgusting/disturbing thing a person has done on a date with you? (ie: pick their nose, socks w/sandals, etc.) And to satisfy my own curiosity, was this faux pas bad enough to keep you from going [...]

#QOTD – Are you lonely when you are not in a relationship?

Simple question, but not necessarily a simple answer. Based on my observations over the years is that those that tend to quickly become miserable & complain often within a relationship, are those that got into one in the first place to combat loneliness.  If I am honest about this issue, I have fallen into this [...]
