the scientist

We exchange a few texts on OkCupid and then he disappears a bit. He comes back a couple of weeks later and we work out a time and day to meet. I am a bit hesitant because he is a few years older than I am but he is cute and we seem to have […]

the runner

What a strange date. We agree to meet at the new bar in my neighborhood. He is coming from the Peninsula and I am lazy in terms of travel.  I get there a few minutes early – of course. An attractive man shows up – he is dressed in a suit jacket and fresh pressed […]

the dancer

We connect on tinder and text back and forth for about a half hour before he finally asks me out. We agree to meet tonight and set a time. I pick my place and we are set. I arrive a bit early – there is a line. It’s gorgeous outside and this place has outdoor […]

the skier

So today I met up with a really nice guy. We met at the column in union square.I got there early – as usual – and watched a bunch of kids having a great time dancing up on the stage area. Like a dance party, they had house music going and were dancing as if […]

The explorer

We had previously met in passing at a work related event but didn’t really talk, just brief introductions and a passing “I follow you on everything”.  I didn’t give him a second thought at the time. Later my friend told me he had been asking about me and was surprised that I was single and […]
