Been glued to the boob tube, wondering why BACHELORETTE’s Jillian Harris can’t see the that Wes is playing her, and that she let go of the most Perfect Guy in the world?  (Jake the Pilot, of course!) When she did so, she broke Jake’s heart, and boy did we feel his pain! But he’s one knight in shining armor: in fact, he’s the only guy man enough to tell her that Wes has a girlfriend (!!!!) But did she listen? NO. SILLY JILLY. Well, now Jake is talking—to US.  He&#... Read Full Story

Oh, dear readers, it is going to be a long, frustrating month at Chez Single Girl. Yesterday I told you about the good-looking Italian roommate with whom I had an aborted dalliance. We’d had a few days of romance, but ultimately agreed to stop the kissy-kissy stuff and keep our relationship platonic. So, for our first night of “platonic” living, we went to the grocery store, cooked dinner, and curled up on his bed while he showed me photos on his laptop from back home. Then we had dessert (no...

What’s that saying about not pooping where you eat? Yeah, that rule miiiiiiiight also apply to not dating where you live. Allow me to explain.

Let’s talk about…bad dates. We’ve all had them. Some of us (cough, cough) have had more than our share. So let’s hear those tales of woe. Did he hit on the waitress and pretend to leave his wallet at home? Did he get wasted and chase you around like Benny Hill drenched in Axe body spray? Spill the dirty details. Here’s mine: Date 1 had gone okay, but I’d been gone for three months for a summer internship, so when I returned, I wasn’t exactly that keen for Date 2. Nevertheless, I agreed, even ...

Last week I read that a new study has determined that women are happiest at age…wait of it…28. Since yours truly is 30, I find this more than a little horrifying. Especially considering that I spent much of year 28 picking up the pieces of a disastrous break-up. If that’s as good as it gets, well, I think I’d like my money back. Apparently researchers reasoned that once a gal hits 30, she starts stressing more about career, marriage, and kids. I’m not saying that’s wrong…I definitely stress m... Read Full Story

For the most part, I’m pretty content being single. I don’t have to check in with anyone, I can hog the bed, I don’t have to watch ESPN. This weekend, however, I was definitely longing for a man in my life. Why? Because it was Moving Day. The last time I moved, my ex-boyfriend kindly did all the heavy lifting and transporting. Unfortunately – or fortunately, if you’re a therapist – I no longer speak to him. And the current guy I’m seeing is pretty unreliable when it comes to tasks that could ... Read Full Story
