Mr. 24
So, after being in a de facto relationship for six or seven months, my first date was with Mr. 24. (The aptronym is obviously based on his age.) I figured, why not try the younger specimen thing? We exchanged a few messages on the stupid dating site and then he suggested we meet for dinner. […]
Mr. Super Annoyer
Sometimes, we want a guy to fight for us. Other times (in my case, most of the time), we want a guy to fuck off. The guy below has been awkwardly lingering for over 3 YEARS now. At what point does one cease and desist? After the narrative explaining how I met this specimen are […]

The Subject of my Amorous Feelings
The proverbial “they” say love finds us when we least expect it. That is precisely what happened to me today. On my way home from work, I planned on stopping at the liquor store to pick up some red wine. As I battled through standard New Jersey traffic, the remnants of my nerves deteriorated. […]
Mr. Lambo: The Relapse
Ten days after we’d parted ways, I relapsed (Feb. 26). It was a week after Brandon Singer had abruptly ditched his wedding date duties. I was lying in bed and felt the sudden urge to call Mr. Lambo. So I did. He answered. We spoke for about an hour and then resumed our routine of […]

Not only do dating sites offer annoying ghosts of dating present, but also ghosts of dating past.

Below is […]

8 Mile
Generally, I am one with the indoors. I don’t play sports, except for when guilted or bribed into softball by my coworkers. I detest hiking and jogging, let alone running. Part of my aversion to outdoor jogging or running is that I don’t like running to nowhere. Today, sudden and unexpected inspiration struck me. […]
