Like I Love Fresca

There are pros and cons to dating in the modern technological age.

Some recent downfalls?

A cyber-stalking from a boyfriend\’s crazed ex, finding my exes on JDate and some unsavory messages from men who perceived my contributions to this singles column to be an open invitation (when they should realize it\’s actually a public place to air my dirty laundry).

Friendly Match-Ups

It was the perfect day for a wedding. As birds chirped, guests sniffled and the bride and groom exchanged vows, I sat in the back row and reflected on the wedding party, all dutifully standing at attention up front.

Hot Property

Mr. Ex had just sold his condo, and was shopping for a new house. I had just bought a place and considered myself a bit of a pro at the whole house-hunting game, so I offered to help him look for houses — you know, be his \”second eye\” and \”sounding board.\”

Good Jew, Bad Jew

There are certain levels of \”Jewishness\” — and I am not talking about Reform vs. Orthodox.

Good Jew, Bad Jew

He was the kind of guy you would take home to your mother. He was Harvard educated, well-mannered, spent time with the elderly, and held an executive position at a major network. He had traveled the world, written a few books, and was shopping for a home. And naturally, he was Jewish. This was the pitch I got from the mutual friend that was going to set the two of us up on my first blind date ever.

Money Talks

We live in the age of full disclosure. In this era of creepy stalkers, emotional maniacs and frightening venereal diseases, you can\’t be too careful, so singles have learned to utilize romantic phrases such as, \”Have you been tested for AIDS lately?\” as casually as one used to suggest, \”Shall I pick you up at 8?\”

Get With Shorty

How many times must I sit around the brunch table and listen to my girlfriends lament the lack of decent men in this town?
