Then Came the Boyfriend

Caroline Cobrin March 23, 2006

With Passover around the corner, singletons everywhere are faced with a tough choice. Do you bring the person you\’re dating to the family seder? Or do you simply wish him or her a \”chag sameach\” and go off to your separate family celebrations. At the beginning of relationships we all face the issue of the timeline: How soon is too soon for the inevitable family Shabbat dinner invitation? After you become an official couple does that mean that your significant other is now automatically invited to all family events?

You’re Scentsational!

Mark Miller March 16, 2006

When a guy — let\’s say me, for the sake of argument — is lacking a romantic partner, every bit of attention I get from any woman, even a complete stranger, takes on heightened significance and pleasure. Because I don\’t have a wife, girlfriend or lover, a simple smile from any woman passing me on the street is very likely to be the only, and certainly the most intimate, female contact I can expect all day.

I Want You to Want Me

Amy Klein March 9, 2006

So there he was at my door: I knew he was short because his profile said he was 5-foot-5, and yet I\’d still pictured those emerald eyes and floppy hair on a frame that was more…well, just more. And speaking of hair, his picture hadn\’t included it in the close-up, but I\’d envisioned a shock of thick hair, not a shaved head that may or may not have been camouflaging a receding/nonexistent hairline.

Relationships 101

Mark Miller March 2, 2006

Geography of Romance: A course dealing with the best places to meet your romantic partner. Certain locales lend themselves to greater relationship success — churches and temples, the homes of friends and relatives, bookstores, supermarkets, restaurants, parks and beaches. Other places tend to be riskier — prison, tattoo parlors, methamphetamine labs, mosh pits, wife-swapping parties, Chuck E. Cheese restaurants, gatherings of arms dealers.

The Waiting Game

JoAnneh Nagler February 23, 2006

If dating was a simple game, we\’d all travel effortless paths to love, and we\’d enjoy the dating process so thoroughly as to rush toward it with glee it when it\’s time.

Singles – Notes to Self

Amy Klein February 16, 2006

Note to Self: Do not date a man who says that he can\’t be in a relationship. Do not go out with him after he tells you he wants to go out with you — but only casually.

Valentine’s Day.com

Amy Klein February 9, 2006

\”J-ated,\” as in \”jaded,\” might be the best way to describe the ennui that has set in among many JDaters these days, singles tired of the merry-go-round of endless possibility and disappointment.

In spite of that, or because of it, new dating Web sites seem to pop up every day.

Singles – Imperfect One and Only

Annie Korzen February 9, 2006

I have a friend who answered one of these \”too-good-to-be-true\” ads. They met for brunch and she knew right away it wasn\’t going to work out because he glanced at the menu and then said, \”So, do you want to split an order of toast?\”

Out of the Picture

Dara Lehon February 2, 2006

Summer\’s over, and I just got round 10 of Beth\’s camp pictures. She\’s made new friends, and seems to be learning a ton. She has that youthful exuberance. Adorable, no? Well, sort of.

Kitchen Confidential

Carin Davis January 26, 2006

My guy Scott dined with his friend Kate and her fiance Steve. No biggie. She\’s an old friend, she\’s taken. Nothing to worry about. I\’m not jealous. It\’s cool.
