Hump Days: The Perils of Misrepresentation
Being single in this world is tough enough, so I wish people wouldn’t complicate it further. In fact, I think we should have ‘relationship police’ and people should be fined for misrepresentation. Here are a few examples of what I think is a crime. You meet someone, either in person or online and you believe...
Hump Days: Back In The Saddle – Part 2
In part 1 of this 2-part article on getting back into the dating game, I listed six questions to ask yourself, after ending a relationship, to determine whether you are ready to start dating again. If you have given yourself time to heal from your last relationship and are ready to dive back in, you...
Hump Days: Getting Back In The Saddle After Ending A Relationship – Part 1
Have you recently ended a long-term committed relationship and are terrified of being single again? Do you love being single again and having options, but find that reentering the dating scene is like landing on an alien planet where no one is speaking your language? If you’ve been out of the loop for a decade...
Hump Days: Sexy Valentine’s Day Gifts
There’s always chocolate, roses, and romantic dinners, but you’ll probably pay less for all of those after February 14th. So why not give your sweetheart a gift that will heat things up on a cold winter’s night? A little sexy lingerie will go a long way. It’s a gift for both of you that keeps...
Hump Days: Befriending Your Ex
A few years ago when I was going through an amicable, uncontested divorce, my friends asked me why it was taking so long. Since we didn’t have children and weren’t using attorneys, they thought the process should be a snap. Well it wasn’t. If you’ve had two plants growing in the same pot for many...
Hump Days: When Love Comes Down To Black & White
Since Martin Luther King’s birthday was this week, I decided this was the perfect time to address interracial dating. A few weeks ago I watched the documentary film Freedom Riders. It is the story of hundreds of civil rights activists who in 1961 brought national attention to the issue of racial segregation in America’s interstate...
Hump Days: Didn’t Get What You Wanted For Christmas?
The holidays can be a challenging time of year. When I was married, I loved Christmas, and threw myself into the busyness and the festivities of the season wholeheartedly. Baking a thousand cookies and delivering them around town, spending three days decorating a 10 foot tree, throwing a party for 75 people, shopping to the...
Hump Days: You Can Do It But Can You Spell It?
Competing in spelling bees as a child may have been challenging, fun, and educational, but ‘titillating’ is certainly not an adjective I would have used to describe the experience. I gained an entirely new perspective on this age old competition this past Saturday when I participated in the XXX-Rated Spelling Bee coordinated by Gina Kremer,...
Hump Days: Does Anybody Date Anymore?
Whatever happened to chivalry? Where did all the gentlemen go? Does anyone out there remember the word ‘dating’? Does anyone know what it means? In fact, whatever happened to plain old-fashioned good manners? We live in an age where in order to land a $15 per hour job you need a $100,000 college education, and...
Hump Days: Vagina – Asset or Liability?
I recently read an article that asked the question “Why do so many pretty female comedians, pretend they’re ugly?” The article opened with this statement: Phyllis Diller was among the first to show us all that women could, indeed, be funny—but they’d have to give up their looks, smarts, and accomplishments first. The article...
Hump Days: Emotional Abuse – The Invisible Killer
I recently discovered that October was National Domestic Violence Awareness Month which inspired me to write about another form of abuse that is often overlooked but can be just as damaging. The signs of physical abuse are obvious, but emotional abuse is much more common and insidious. Words can be a powerful tool. They can...
Hump Days: Sex Ed for Grown-Ups
Where did you get your sex education – from your friends, your parents, on the street, internet porn, rap lyrics? And where do you go when you want to learn new relationship skills? As Americans we live in what may be the most sexually obsessed and simultaneously, the most sexually repressed society in the free...
