Money Matters
Remember this post? Well, it seems the same woman went out with another starving artist type. Only this time he didn’t stick her with the bill. He actually paid for everything, every time. This unemployed man made sure to pick up the check after every date. And guess what? She’s still complaining. Since he was [...]
Eat, Pray, Douche
Here is where I am lost about this…my ex and I ended dec 12th and I just found out he proposed to someone else 3 weeks after we ended. WE were together for FOUR years and he said he thought about it a few times, but never could do it. There are underlying things of [...]
Unmarried With Children – How Do You Get Dates?
Dear Moxie: You are asking for more ideas for your column, so here it goes. I’ve been a regular reader for over a year. While I enjoy your column, that is, geared toward the single woman…I find some of the columns and especially the reader comments insensitive to those of us with kids. I’ve been [...]
Guys Don’t Want to Date “One of The Guys”
Name: Lucy State: New York Age: 42 Comment: Hi there Moxie! I was recently introduced to a man by a mutual friend. We are both triathletes so I was interested in meeting him. The guy and I met up for a bike ride. He did mention he was inviting a couple of his friends along. [...]
Is All Fair In Love & War?
I have a question. I met this guy at the gym, we would talk every time we would see each other. He seemed like a really down to earth guy. He finally flirted w me and I said well “maybe you should give me your number”, he gladly took mine and called me to ensure [...]
The Dealbreakers That Keep You Single
Name: Rebecca State: CT Age: 43 Comment: Hi. I am back in the dating pool for the first time after finding out I have HSV-2. Putting myself out there on dating sites feels like false advertising. I’m going to meet up with a really interesting guy for the first time next week who has no [...]

The Search For Casual Sex
I spent about an hour and a half today reviewing profiles of both men and women on OKCupid. Today’s search was a little different. I did a search strictly for men and women who select “casual sex” as a dating option. I’ve done sessions with people who are getting back in to the dating scene. [...]
No Kids, No Marriage – When Do You Bring It Up?
In my 20s, I was about 70% sure that I didn’t want kids. Of course, being young and without much life experience…I lived with a bit of a conflict about the wisdom of having kids to begin with. The conflict, though, was more from the wisdom of being married….Legitimately, I held off on the subject [...]

The Emperor’s New Clothes aka Why You’re Really Single
While looking over profiles a few weeks ago, I came across one that really stood out. Just not in a good way. The guy’s profile wasn’t just labored. It was awkward. There were stories and references in his ad that just made no sense or seemed out of place. He was trying way too hard [...]

On OK Cupid, Nobody Can Hear You Scream
Name: Lindsey State: WA Age: 27 Comment: I recently moved to a new city and decided to join Match to meet some singles in my area. I’ve been having difficulty meeting guys out, I usually hang out with a bunch of couples and none of them ever want to separate to play wingwoman. Whenever I [...]
Are You Really Prepared for a Relationship?
Last week we were talking about a 36 year old man who had never had a relationship that lasted more than 6 months. A few women said that that was a major red flag. Which is understandable But let’s do a little critical thinking. What if he had had a relationship that lasted 3 years, [...]
