Tempering The Bliss

( Dating and HCFG and Kizmeet and POV and Relationships and Romance )

I’m sure it’s been made quite clear by now that HCFG and I are happy together. Ad nauseum at times (sorry about that!) But you can’t write about a good relationship and not talk about the fights as well. And yes, we do fight. Of course we do, everyone does. Any couple that says they [...]

Who Not to Shtup – Part 1

( Dating and Kizmeet and POV and Ugh )

So you’ve joined the online dating world, and you’re starting to set up some intriguing dates. And there are so many guys to choose from! How do you begin to narrow them down? There are such a wide variety of men in the dating pond. Who do you reel in? And, perhaps more importantly, who [...]

Eek – The First Date!

( Dating and Friends and HCFG and Kizmeet and POV and Romance )

Before my first date with Hot Cute Fun Guy I was a nervous wreck. We had exchanged literally hundreds of emails. We had talked on the phone for hours. Everything seemed to be coming together and I was really excited to meet him. However, as a veteran of internet dating, I knew that the [...]

That Dratted Every Day Stuff

( Dating and HCFG and Kizmeet and Relationships and Romance )

Once you’ve been involved with someone for a while, reality kicks in. In the beginning you think everything the other person does is wonderful.
“Aw Sweetie, you made me supper? And you took the subway 4 whole stops to Trader Joe’s to buy my favorite dessert? You are the best girlfriend EVER. You’re my Boo [...]

Conversation with HCFG – The Snark Edition

( Dating and HCFG and Health and Holidays and Relationships )

It’s early in the morning, I am about to get bloodwork done, and I am NOT happy about it.
Lisa: “I don’t want to get my bloodwork done today. It’s the Friday before a holiday, and all the good phlebotomists will be off duty and they will probably have icky doctors with pick axes puncturing my [...]

Qualifiers

( Dating and HCFG and Life and POV and Relationships )

So, I met a guy – HCFG – in online dating land. And he’s wonderful. We’re kinda, sorta, halfway, maybe, (I’m not jinxing this!) happy.
In case you are questioning the qualifiers, I’m not looking to have the universe bitch-slap me for being smug and or complacent. I am counting my blessings here, (and wish [...]

Conversation with HCFG

( Books and Dating and HCFG and Life and POV and Sex )

Lisa: “Have you heard about that couple in Colorado? The ones who
wrote a book about how they decided to spice up their sex life by having sex once a day for 101 days?
What do you think of that?”
Long pause.
Hot Cute Fun Guy: “Amateurs.”

Lisa’s REALLY Bad Dream

( Dating and Dreams and HCFG and POV and Sleep )

Last week I had a hard time sleeping and was walking around in a total fog for days. One night I finally passed out and slept very hard. I woke up about two hours later with my heart racing. I obviously had had a bad dream but couldn’t remember much about it. I got up, [...]

Dating 2008

( Dating and New York and POV )

Internet dating is like this surreal cafeteria with all kinds of exotic choices. Think “Twin Peaks,” or Ringling Brothers on acid. It’s fun but it’s weird. You just never know what you’re going to get, (hat tip to Forest Gump.)
You have this strange sense of power… think about it. You’re “hiding” behind the computer deciding [...]
