On Line Dating, Is It For You?

I have asked myself this question a thousand times.  I have heard my friend's opinion on this subject a thousand times.  So what is the answer?  Will online dating work for you, is it something you should try?  What are the pros and cons of online dating?  First, before you make the decision to put yourself …

Kiss And Tell. It’s in the Kiss?

A recent date said something to me that got me thinking ...He said that you can't tell if you are going to like someone or not (have that chemistry) until you kiss them.  Hmmm ...I am not sure that I agree with that.  If I look at them and don't see attraction ...well then, chances are …

Is 50 really the new 30?  I will say that 30 something is the new 50 for the weather in Texas the last couple of days ...our last little cold snap.  Of course, I am not talking about the use of this saying about the weather.  I hear the expression all the time from my friends.  Someone is …

On-Line Dating, WTH!?

Do you ever have a date where you are left with so many unanswered questions? The date ends and you are wondering what was that all about?  You leave the date going WTH?  It happens to me a lot, more than I would like to admit, actually. I took a break from the dating scene for a little …
