I made my profile, and had my friends take pictures of me.. (and had [...]

He Must Really Love You

Typically I could careless about dating. Don’t get me wrong; I love men. My social life is very active, but I have developed some disdain for the ritual of dating. One Saturday afternoon I got a wild hair and decided to branch out a bit . . . get away from my normal, or somewhat [...]

Love in the Time of John Stossel. He is 38, She is 16

His Story I am 39 now, last year I was 38, unsurprisingly. Back in 2002, I moved to Tucson from New York City with my then girlfriend who was an acceptable age in her early thirties. After we broke up I turned to the Internet to find someone who was better suited for me. I [...]

Offensive

I was sitting at the bar, drinking a dirty martini. Jake showed up at 10 past. “You must be Jake,” I said. “That would be me. Sorry I’m a little late. You’re Alice, I take it?” “I’m Alice.” “Ah, Alice, well, it’s good to meet you.” That’s how it started. After that, things heated up. [...]

Snow Tires

Falling in Love in the Cyber World

I, like thousands of other people, decided to put a personal ad on the Internet. I was not sure what would come of this, but it had to be better than what I was meeting in real life. The first day I posted the ad I had so many messages that it was overwhelming. Being [...]

To the Jack Cave, Baby!

“This is uncharted waters and that’s what I’ve been looking for.

Getting Back on the Horse

I have been online dating since my divorce in 2001. How else does a 40-plus year old woman meet men? Certainly not at work (never a good idea) and all my friends are married or living with someone! I’ve signed up for classes to find them filled with women and men over 70. Most groups [...]
