Is It Time To Unleash YOUR Cougar? *grin

Back when I first got separated and started online dating, I was insulted if any younger man called me a COUGAR. In my mind, ‘cougar’ meant older woman in leopard-skin leotards, teased hair and fake nails that wouldn’t quit. I might be in my late thirties, but excuse me, I… Continue

Dating Younger Men – Would You? Could You? Dare Ya!

When I first started dating after divorce, I felt like I’d arrived on another planet. Not just cause I had no idea how to date again, but because it quickly became apparent that a new ‘phenomena’ had come to town since I’d last visited: Young Men Seeking Older Women. A… Continue

Divorcing MOM Having Sex With Multiple Men - Should She Feel Guilty?

A divorcing mom girlfriend was updating me on her dating life over the phone. She’d just flown back from spending a 'fun-filled' weekend with a new man she’d met online. “I don’t think he’s Mr Right, but he does have some wonderful qualities.” she said. “And man - was he ever something in bed! Really aggressive. And wow, was it hot! ” She then brought me up to speed with her on-again off-again friend/lover in her hometown. “I really do care about him,” she said. “We are such good friends. We i… Continue

Trying To Understand Men: The “Buy-Her-A Drink” Pick-Up Method

What woman hasn’t found herself in this scenario? You’re at a bar, chatting with a girlfriend, when all of a sudden, the bartender or waitress suddenly puts an unordered drink in front of you. “It’s from that man over there,” she says, pointing across the room. You look over,… Continue

Trying to Understand Men & Their "Wounds"

So I’m becoming less judgmental and more open to men. That’s a broad statement, I know. But ever since I watched the movie, The Ugly Truth, and saw how underneath Gerard’s Butler piggish character was a wounded man with a big heart, the more sympathetic AND curious I’ve… Continue

I Had Forgotten How it Felt

I had a dream last night. An amazing dream. A dream i have played over and over in my head all day long. I even tried to fall asleep at my desk after school hoping to start it again. It didn't happen but I still remember the feeling of that dream. I felt loved. It was incredible! I don't think I loved him but he loved me and wanted to be someone worthy of me and it was something i hadn't felt in so long that i didn't think it possible again. The dream began when I was having to deliver something… Continue

I'm Too Sexy...

"...According to a recent survey of men in 12 countries, nearly 60 percent of American males consider themselves sexy. The other 40 percent must have mirrors...." To all the gentleman to whom this does not apply, I *heart* you. Unfortunately, my short stint on dating websites demonstrated the truth of this editorial. Read the rest here. Continue

A Serious Question: Am I Afraid to Fall in Love Again?

A close male friend of mine, one whose opinion I value greatly, keeps telling me: Gypsy (his nickname for me), you are so afraid to fall in love. You’ve built walls to protect yourself and keep men out, but you must be careful not to become your own prisoner. Imm… Continue

Internet Dating: Do Predators Hunt for Single Moms?

It was my greatest fear when I began online dating: that a child predator would feign interest in me in order to get to my kids. And today, though I'm much more comfortable with this medium, AND, I've still never introduced a man to my children, it's always at the back of my mind. (… Continue

My Vagina Looks Just Fine, Thanks!

Well, apparently the look and feel of our vaginas are one more thing us single moms are suppose to be concerned about. Haven’t you heard? We’re supposed to be as pretty and symmetrical as a text-book drawing. Are you a little one-sided…stretched out…dangly? Well welcome the labioplasto – a delightful flesh-carving procedure that ‘re-sculpts’ your labia. Now you can lie back and spread your legs for any man with pride. (read more… Continue

A woman shouldn't be so open about sex/dating post-divorce...?

This rather blistering comment came into me today from “Random Guy.” Instead of taking it as a personal attack, I’m throwing it out there to readers. What do YOU think? Men, women - do you agree? Please stop me if I’ve misinterpreted from these blog entries: Your “active dating life” really consists of running a pile of guys through an email/instant messaging mill . But you have no real intention of trying to actually meet 99.9% of the men who presumably contact your online profile with… Continue

Do I Disqualify Potential Dates Too Quickly?

According to my best friend Hali, I do. Disqualify men too quickly, I mean. Over cocktails this past weekend, I was filling her in on my dating life when she quickly inserted: “Ummm Delaine…WHAT dating life?” I laughed. “What do you mean? You know I’m still active on two… Continue

Friends With Benefits: I Came Right Out and Asked Him!

Recently I wrote a blog about the concept of ‘friends with benefits,' and how, even though it sounded good in theory, I was skeptical if could translate into real life for most people. This past weekend, however, I think I got a few steps closer to having such a relationship. How? It was simple actually: I just came right out and talked to him about it. (Read more and… Continue

Anyone have a Successful "Friends With Benefits" Relationship?

Since I got divorced and started dating again, I've constantly hear the term "Friends With Benefits." And I really like the sound of that. Cause I know I'm not ready for super serious, but let's face it - one wants sex! And I prefer the idea of being with one lover verses finding different ones to satiate my body.

Good-bye Husband, Helloooooo G-spot!

By the end of my marriage, I’d given up trying to have a G-spot orgasm; I thought maybe anatomically I couldn’t have one. But one night,about eight months post-divorce, that G-bomb came out of nowhere: KA-BOOM! It was a back-arching, soul-screaming Hallelujah! (read more… Continue

The First Date: A Valentine’s Tale

I finally did it

I told the ex-wife last night that I was dating somebody. I can’t fully explain just why it ended up being such a big deal to me, but it was. Thank goodness I decided to talk about it because the comments that I received from everybody really helped me convince myself to do it NOW, and not wait any longer. I mean, it had built-up to the point where I absolutely HAD to tell her. ~~~ Full blog post can be found at: … Continue

How do you tell your ex that you’re dating again?

I think that in order to truly get a sense of where I am right now, you need to know the back-story to my current relationship. I separated from my wife almost two years ago (it’ll be two years in March). It was amicable…we still get along…it was just a situation where we ended up being two friends who happened to share a child together. Not quite the ’til death do us part scenario I was hoping for. Then out of the blue late last year it happened… ~~~ Full blog post found at: … Continue

Not divorce yet. But i did get to meet two little angels. One is a dear lady who is in the same boat as me. But she has more money that I do. She referred me to a great lawyer. Win or lose I am happy. I have given the toad one last 48 hr time to w...

I agree 100% with you. I find it really hard to forgive my son's father for everything he has ever done to him. He never apologized. I want to forgive him and when I look at him I try to act like everything's fine (for the sake of my son) but I ca...
