Blog Update

You may have noticed a sud­den influx of Archived Blogs. This is because I recently moved my MySpace blog over to this one. Most of the posts are from 2006 & 2007 and fea­ture my Dat­ing 101 series and Adven­tures in Com­mut­ing. Since I no longer com­mute or date, they’ve been dis­con­tin­ued, but they still make me gig­gle and I thought I’d share. :)

Dating Etiquette 101: The Dos and Don’ts of Dating Around

Dat­ing is a strange phe­nom­e­non. Dat­ing around is even stranger. Lots of peo­ple do it, myself included (though not any­more of course!) For the record, this does not nec­es­sar­ily make you a com­mit­ment phobe. It gives you a bet­ter per­spec­tive and (in the­ory any­way) will help you make bet­ter dat­ing deci­sions which can only be a very good thing!

How­ever, if you are going to date around, please, for the love of God, do it right!

Dating Etiquette 101: If You Don’t Have Anything Intelligent to Say…

We’ve all had it at one time or another. Ver­bal diar­rhea. Foot-in-mouth dis­ease. Call it what you will, but, inevitably, you will even­tu­ally say some­thing fool­ish to a date and really really wish you could un-say it.

The bad news is you can’t.

The good news is that it pro­vides great fod­der for my blog.

Dating Etiquette 101: Don’t Try This at Home

I’ve gone on a num­ber of dates recently. Some of them have been good, some have been bad, and some have been down­right strange. So, here’s a handy-dandy list of tips for guys I’ve com­piled of things NOT to do on a date.
