It's All About the Journey

I'm still scratching my head over this one. We'll call him Olgun. He was handsome in that way that I appreciate, a ton of dark hair and dark skin and dark eyes. He looked eerily like John Cusack and had that kind of wily look in his eyes. He was a professor at a reputable local university, so that gave him more credibility. I'm still such a recent college graduate that despite reading and hearing horror stories (and having at least one of my own: Doctor Date Rape ) I still can't quite process that there are some really not nice college professors out there. We chatted briefly on the site and then we texted and flirted some. He apparently was drawn to my lips (more and more common these days) and clearly stated that he wanted to kiss them. That's sweet and innocent enough, isn't it? In fact, it's just suggestive enough. I've had more overt propositions before, certainly and been sent what are commonly called "dick pics" on more than one occ...

I promised you all last week that I would write a blog that maybe kind of deviates from the usual. I guess I'm really getting tired of all the negative all over the place! Don't worry, I'll be back next week to the usual fodder, and boy do I have one for you! So today, the week after Valentine's Day, I have a blog geared more towards the guys than the girls. I would love to hear any feedback you may have, guys or girls on this one. This is my list of things to do to attract girls. 1.) Be Honest! I make this one number one because it's the most important to me. It may seem like a no-brainer, but don't create an inaccurate persona that you are going to have to keep up with. I mean more than just not lying about whether you are single, married, separated, polyamorous or  bisexual or whatever it is you. I don't just mean talking about your job truthfully. I don't just mean portraying yourself as you really are physically. I mean right down to what you a...

I have a terrible problem with remembering the names of the men I never actually met. I'm a faces person. Today's story is about a man we'll just call Jason. Mostly because I loathe that name for entirely other reasons. I had a red flag at Jason when I saw on his profile that he was "Christian and serious about it." I should have known then that we were not going to work out. I know, that even sounds kind of narrow of me, but to be honest, it's very hard for me to relate to someone who is that absorbed in faith. I haven't got any religious faith of any kind and while I admire the power of faith as one of the most beautiful, innocent, pure forces in the human spectrum, I often encounter some unpleasant side effects of religious fervor. Jason is one of those cases. I was obviously going to be the primary breadwinner in any relationship that we carried on. I don't make outrageous money doing what I do, but his income was alarmingly low as the assistan...
