            <h2>Advice for Fighting Off the Marital Ho-Hums and Tips for Keeping Mr. Routine & Mrs. Ritual Out of Your Relationship</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080119122653im_/http://askapril.com/images/articles/is_it_over.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>If you love your wife and there is enough good in your life, chances are this applies to you -- you just need to shake things up a little bit  <span style="color: #000000;">and you&apos;ll be just fine. </span></p>
<h3><span class="alister">First Shake Up Starts with Yourself</span></h3>
<p>It’s completely normal to be bored in life and in marriage, but boredom is NOT a grounds for divorce. In fact, there are lots of kinds of boredom, and before you shake it up in your marriage make sure that you’re happy with your own life in the ways that are easy to fix. For example, are you exercising and do you feel fit? If not, you could easily get blue and depressed. Get a physical. Start a workout routine, join a gym, and start taking care of yourself. That is truly the first step to adding spice to your marriage. If you’re down in the dumps you’re not going to make much of a lover.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">After you get your exercise routine going, start eating well. No more lunch from a drive-through. Take care of your body as if you were both the coach and the star athlete in training. Then make sure your hair is great, your nails and skin are great – yes, guys, I’m talking to you – and vamp up your wardrobe. It doesn’t take a million bucks. Just a new pair of shoes, a cashmere sweater, and for goodness sakes, get rid of those ripped boxers!<em> Now,</em> you’re ready to shake it up in your bedroom, and your wife will have taken notice if you’ve done everything I’ve just asked of you.<br /><span class="alister"><br />Shake it Up in the Bedroom:</span><br /><em><br /><strong>1. Examine your taboos</strong>. </em>If there is something you would NEVER do in bed, figure out why you would never do it-- and while you&apos;re figuring it out -- try doing it -- on a smaller scale, if necessary -- to see what kind of thrill you get. Sometimes our fears and anxieties are the key to our pleasure. Recognize that sometimes anxiety is excitement. Try to tell the difference between the two when they&apos;re happening to you. Never do anything that makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, but at the same time, remember -- you&apos;re in a rut, and you want to get out of it. Especially in the bedroom. Start stepping out of the rut by opening your mind just a crack.</p>
<p><strong><em>2. Baby steps.</em></strong> Increments of change are really important in sex – as well as a sense of humor. You&apos;re never going to go from a virgin to a lap dancer in twenty seconds. It may take years and even decades before you feel comfortable doing certain things, sexually -- and sometimes you just don&apos;t get there at all. But goals are only there to guide us. When it comes to sex, the journey is the goal, and the sooner you learn that, the better sex you&apos;re going to have. Getting out of a sexual rut is tougher than it looks -- especially when you leave out some or most of the steps in between A and B. If you want to try something new, and you don&apos;t achieve exactly what you set out to achieve, it’s very easy to quit. You can quickly feel that you’re shot down, or that things didn’t go the way you wanted them to. Don’t get dejected and give up! Just slow down, and adjust your goal to something smaller. Allow yourself to be in the moment and enjoy each tiny step along the way. The payoff if you succeed is huge and exponential. A great sex life is the gift that keeps on giving, so push the envelope by examining the edges of it.<br /><em><br /></em><em><strong>3. Make your sex life X-rated</strong>.</em> Once you’ve figured out what those boundaries are, and where you’d like to go – whether it’s role playing, dressing up, sensual toys, electric toys, a little light bondage – or whatever it is – shake it up by getting out of the house. Hit a sex shop with your partner -- or a best friend -- for ideas and an afternoon of shopping that can lead to an evening of hot sex. Be open-minded. If you need to have lunch with a glass of wine before you take this shopping spree, do it! This can be great fun. Especially if it’s something you’ve never done before and are a little anxious -- or just excited -- about doing.<br /><br /><strong><em>4. Put the lust in wanderlust.</em></strong> Travel like you&apos;ve never traveled before. If you&apos;ve never slept on the ground under a full moon, get a tent and a couple of sleeping bags and plan a down and dirty camping and fishing trip. On the other hand, if you&apos;re always budget minded, splurge on a spa vacation with mud baths, massages, seaweed wraps and every other decadent thing you can think of. Pack a suitcase and book some last minute plane tickets for a weekend of indulgence or pack up the car and take a great road trip. Make sure you stay focused on the goal – intimacy and sex – but shaking up your environment and getting out of your house and your own bedroom can do wonders for your sense of creativity, sexuality and fun. Bring some little shake-it-up toys from your shopping spree in your suitcase!</p>
<p><span class="alister">Expectations Can Be Dampers on Sexuality:</span></p>
<p>How many times in a marriage has one person come to bed ready for sex, and their partner didn&apos;t respond the way they expected, so they just threw in the towel and went to sleep, disappointed? A lot! It&apos;s difficult to shake up your own expectations of what will happen in the bedroom, but being flexible gives your sex life and your marriage more of a chance.</p>
<p>So many of us watch television, read magazines, and glimpse tabloid photos of celebrity or fictional marriages in movies and on shows and we forget that that is not real life. It&apos;s just little glimpses into other people&apos;s lives, most of which we know NOTHING about. And sometimes, it&apos;s not even glimpses into real lives -- it&apos;s glimpses into fictional lives of television characters and movie plots written to grab an audience&apos;s attention and titillate.</p>
<p>When we start comparing ourselves to fiction and celebrity, we lose touch with reality and sometimes throw away a good relationship to chase what isn&apos;t even real! That only leads to eventual disappointment and depression. Stay grounded! Remember what is real, and if you forget, get out of your house and your neighborhood and even your circle of friends and look around at what is real. You&apos;ll see that life can be pretty mundane sometimes and that is normal. Accept it, and your enjoy peaks and valleys that come naturally in your relationship -- and if they aren&apos;t coming quickly enough, like a good martini, shake it up gently, and luxuriate in the enjoyment.</p>        </span>

After 14 months of dating, Sam and I broke up this past weekend after struggling for the past few months.   I don&apos;t have the energy or inclination to go into details, but put simply:  we&apos;re at very different places in our lives.   He&apos;s in the midst of a divorce, with 3 young kids, and knows for sure that he doesn&apos;t want to get married again.    I could go either way as far as marriage, but I DO know that I want to live with someone -- I&apos;d really like someone to come home to.    And he&apos;s not sure when / if he can offer that.

There&apos;s so much more, but I&apos;ll leave it at that.     Terrible roller coaster at the moment:  one minute, I&apos;m feeling relieved not to be feeling the frustration I&apos;ve been carrying the past few months.    The next minute, I&apos;m sobbing in my office with my back to the door, hoping no one comes in.

I feel no desire whatsoever to jump back on the online dating bandwagon just yet.   Need to give time time.

I’m back after a few days out of town, with some updates:

Date #95: the night before I left, I had a one-hour drink with a guy I’ll call Mr. Maybe. I wasn’t overwhelmingly impressed, but he was a nice enough guy. I’d consider a second date, but only if he contacts me next.

Smiles: I left a message on his voicemail just before I went away, no reply. This is quite telling: before my previous trip, he asked me to call him when I got to my destination, so he’d know I got there safely. This time – nothing. Then…

A good friend of mine, also on Match, got an e-mail from Smiles via the Match website – he’s never met her or any of my other friends. She wrote back something along the lines of “thanks for writing – but you should know, you’ve been dating one of my good friends.”

He writes back: “Small world – who’s your friend?” She wrote back “Loverville”. No reply from him.

I think it’s safe to say he’s out of the picture. Not because of this incident (which I actually found quite funny – for such a big city, New York is a tiny place!) – but if it’s not working, it’s just not working. No harm done. It was fun while it lasted.

On the Positive Dating News front: while I was away, I considered writing to UN to plan our next date for this weekend – but I resisted the urge, thanks in part to advice provided by Cute Jewess (thanks, CJ!) to play it cool. I always feel the need to plan ahead, but suppressed that urge this time. After coming home, I found a message from UN, saying that he believed I was coming home that day, and would I like to get together soon? Hopefully I’ll see him this weekend.

Now – re: Smiles. I’m sure he senses as well that this is going nowhere – it’ll be interesting to see what happens from here -- as in, how will this end? Normally, I’d want to close the book by having “the talk” – but since I left the last message and haven’t heard back from him, I’m sure it’s safe to assume that his silence says it all.

But there’s that part of me that wants him to call or e-mail so I can refrain from responding to HIM. Immature? Maybe. But if anyone is going to be pulling the plug around here, I want it to be me!        </span>

This snowy weather is making me tired and lazy, so I&apos;m going to make this short and sweet and get back to some quality TV-watching and Match-surfing!

Date #156: "Dominic"
Dominic was an English guy in my circle of friends in my 20s, and I had a HUGE crush on him for ages. We smooched once or twice, but it never went further than friendship.

This past weekend I had a brunch date with a British guy who now lives here in NY. I&apos;m normally skeptical about a brunch date -- I generally think it&apos;s a good idea to have some darkness and booze to relax a bit around someone new -- but it seemed like it was the only time that worked for both of us. Let&apos;s-call-him-Dominic was smart and perfectly nice and had the kind of charming smile that I like -- but I&apos;m just not sure the zing was there.

If I hear from him, I&apos;d be happy to go out with him again -- if not, no harm done.

*******
Shocker of the week -- I got this email from Mr 2010 (and since I don&apos;t particularly care if he discovers the blog, here it is in its entirety):

Hi, yes, I am safely alive, thanks. I&apos;m really sorry about last Sunday. I don&apos;t have a worthy explanation... I barely got out of bed all day, and then when I saw your text it was already late and I felt like a big jerk. I&apos;ve been trying to figure out how to talk to you about it since then, but not very successfully, obviously.

It&apos;s a longer, bigger story than I can do via email right now, but I&apos;ve been a bit of a mess recently. It&apos;s not something I&apos;d want to inflict on anyone else. I like you, but I have to deal with my crap right now. I hope you understand, and I hope you can forgive me for being such an inconsiderate ass.

I hope you&apos;re well. Thank you for the concern, too.

[Mr 2010]


So -- that&apos;s that. Better late than never, I suppose? Anyway, my main thought was: whew! Dodged THAT bullet.

I haven&apos;t felt a need to write back. Done.        </span>

A few weeks (and a few more dates) in -- still enjoying Martin&apos;s company. It doesn&apos;t seem like the casual fling that I had envisioned -- go figure, I&apos;m starting to like like the guy! And the feeling seems to be mutual. Over a lovely dinner this week, he told me that he was really happy to be at that place at that very moment... with me.

I still have my guard up, but at the moment, I&apos;m just taking this day by day, and enjoying it.

This dilemma always seems to come up in the early days of dating someone: we&apos;re nowhere close to declaring exclusivity with each other, but it just doesn&apos;t feel right to date other guys at this time. This mainly comes from my ridiculous paranoia, imagining the awkwardness of being out with Some New Guy, and running into Martin (after having said goodbye to him maybe ten hours prior, that very morning). I know -- New York is a big city, and it&apos;s unlikely -- but not impossible.

Saying that -- I recently talked to a new J-guy, and while I&apos;m not exactly wowed by him, I&apos;m contemplating a drink with him this week. I&apos;ve been trying to think of places to meet for a drink where I&apos;m unlikely to run into Martin... but I&apos;d rather not shlep up to the Upper East Side unless absolutely necessary.

 “Me: (pointing to 5.5) Hey, are you a hairdresser?”

Good, if you’re not hitting, change tactics until you hit something they emotionally respond to. Interrupt their actual opener response even…like ask them your opener and then as they start to answer just cut them off and say the hairdresser thing, just to see what happens. You’ll find they follow your thread, and then you can go back to the opener later. Mystery talks about doing this a lot, setting up multiple threads that branch out, and then returning to close them up later.

“5.5: (flat) No. None of us are hairdressers.”

Oh shit, you got blown out, you should leave!!!!! Or you should call her a bitch, and show her who’s boss, fuck that bitch, yell at her and tell her she’s too fucking ugly to be a hairdresser anyway!!!

“Me: (grinning huge) You’re a fucking firecracker.”

…oh no wait. You could also do this, which is treat her attitude like she’s your silly 5yo niece pouting and calling you a poopy-head as you chuckle and grin and then completely unexpectedly compliment her.

Whether this set turns around or not, this is 100% the appropriate way to handle this kind of thing. If you watch the last set that Cajun opens on his Keys to the VIP appearance (hit Youtube up), you’ll notice he turns around the bitchiest girl in the set because he says to the friends “I like your friend, you know why? Because she’s the only one who gave me shit.” and basically compliments her on having attitude etc. From there the bitch shield is obliterated and she becomes a sweet purring little kitten.

This is the “Artist” part of Pickup Artist. I had one social circle of normal people I was out with who were mindblown because one minute a chick I was talking to was calling me an asshole and flipping me the middle finger, and the next I’m coming back to the group with her phone number lol

“6: You should go away.”

All good, they’re expecting your frame to be weak so they’re ganging up. The 5.5 is being a douche and is probably the leader of the group normally.

I&apos;d hoped to have a few dates this weekend -- but I guess that&apos;s unrealistic, since I was out of town til late Thursday, and just contacted my potential dates yesterday, Friday.

Foodie Guy: played phone tag yesterday, but he did say he wanted to get together over the weekend. Dude... the weekend is running out. It&apos;s his turn to call, and I&apos;m not exactly keeping my calendar clear.

AdMan: his last few e-mails were quite eager (while I was still away) -- I left him a message yesterday, no word back yet.
UPDATE: he e-mailed, saying he got my message, but is extremely busy with work this weekend, as well as a funeral, but would like to get together during the week. I have a good vibe about him.
MORE UPDATE: I Googled him, and found his Friendster page. His friends wrote some really nice comments about him, saying what a catch he is. Now I&apos;m even more anxious to meet him, but trying to be realistic. As I always say -- you never fricking know. "Good on paper" means squat if there&apos;s no face-to-face vibe.

Three-Letter-Man: *NEW* Funny -- I have a history of dating guys with just three letters in their names, so much so that my friends tease me about it. ("I&apos;d introduce you to Bill, but he has too many letters for you.") A few brief e-mails back and forth, and he just left a message on my phone, will call him back shortly.
UPDATE: we&apos;re meeting for drinks tonight, Sunday. He seemed nice enough on the phone, but I got the impression that he hadn&apos;t actually read my profile, only looked at the pics. For example, he asked if I was a teacher (I&apos;m not) -- while my profession is quite clearly stated on the profile.

Note to guys: brush up on the woman&apos;s profile before making that call! She&apos;ll be much more interested in you if it seems that you&apos;ve taken 30 seconds to learn a bit more about her -- that&apos;s why the info is there.

Adventure Guy: *NEW* Very interesting, mountain-climber type. We&apos;ve had a few e-mails back and forth, but he&apos;s about to go out of town for 2 months.

Neighbor Guy: OUT. We had one date earlier this month... I e&apos;d him yesterday to let him know I&apos;m back in town, any interest in grabbing a drink? He wrote back saying thanks, but he didn&apos;t think we were a match. No problem there -- I much prefer that response to no response at all.

Confession: I have a bit of a weight issue. It&apos;s not huge -- but I&apos;m about 10-15 lbs heavier than I&apos;d like. Ok, what the hell: I&apos;m 5&apos;4", and currently about 140 lbs. Since I&apos;m not *that* overweight, it&apos;s too easy to brush it off at times and convince myself that I look OK. But most of the time I think about how much happier/ sexier /more confident I&apos;d be at about 125 / 130. And I&apos;ve been there... have done Weight Watchers and other programs in the past, but then I&apos;ll get bored with it, and the weight gradually creeps back up.

Had a wake-up call this week while I was away: ran into a guy friend I hadn&apos;t seen in a while. When I hugged him goodbye, I mentioned that he had gotten so thin, and joked, "I wish someone would say that to me."

His response: "Well, you can do something about that." OUCH!

But he was right. So as of yesterday, I&apos;m back on WW, with a short term goal to lose 10 lbs in 10 weeks. I&apos;ll report here regularly -- hopefully, having this info in the public eye (for all of my, um, 3 regular readers!) will be good incentive to keep this going.        </span>

I’m back! Well, kind of. There is still plenty to do and lots of people to see before I can get back to my regularly scheduled blogging but I had to stop by and say hello to everyone. I know that you are all going crazy with anticipation of my amazing family Thanksgiving. You are, aren’t you?

Well, it was GREAT. I got to sleep in until 10am and woke up to snow. I turned on the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade and saw flurries all over, got up and looked out the window and there it was…our first snow. Luckily nothing stuck and traveling was still fine but it was a very nice sight.

At around 3 I went down to my parents house and lent a hand until around 4 when everyone started to show up for dinner. As always, my mother made entirely too much food. Before the official dinner even started there was guacamole, shrimp, spanikopita (Greek phyllo dough filled with spinach and cheese), and bruschetta. In other words...entirely too much food.

It was a smaller Thanksgiving for us, just the 12 of us. It was me, Yiayia, my parents, my sisters, my niece, my sister’s fiancé and daughter, and Matt’s parents. Usually we are at my Aunts house with all the cousins and it’s insane with around 30 people. Since my Dad is still on the mend we decided to have a low key Thanksgiving and enjoy a little engagement party too. It is important to us to spend some quality time with Matt’s parents and get to know his family better. Luckily we didn’t scare them off. J


I think we went through a good 3 bottles of wine before dinner even started. We had a very lovely prayer and then sat down to an amazing dinner. We had the normal turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, spinach casserole, green bean casserole, candied carrots, sweet potato casserole, corn, rolls, sweet potato muffins, olives and pickles, cole slaw, and more wine. Seriously, who needs that much food!?

As if a family dinner isn’t crazy enough, add two cute but crazy 4 year olds and it’s just plain tiring. So, after much dinner was consumed, desert (pumpkin pie, fruit tart, cookies, and a white cloud engagement cake) we cleaned up and the kids went home incredibly cranky. Matt’s parent’s stayed a bit longer and then we had a bit of down time.


Now, I am 30 years old and I have never, not once in my whole life, gone out shopping on Black Friday. Not once. There was a reason for this; I just didn’t know it yet. I agreed to go Black Friday shopping at the Philadelphia Outlets with my youngest sister Gina, who at 20, can do stuff like that! I cannot. Good LORD! So around 9 we decided to nap and get ready for our crazy shopping outing. I managed a name till around 11:20 and then we rallied and left in the cold drizzly weather to make the trip to HELL!

A 30 minute trip took us 2 and half hours. I’m serious! We sat for about 1 ¾ hours in stand still traffic trying to get to the outlets. It dawned on me that ALL these cars were going the same exact place, that parking was going to be a bitch, and that I was flat out crazy. It was nice to spend the quality time with Gina, but dear God I am not a patient person and I hate traffic with a fiery passion.

So we get in there, park, and make our way to the stores. There are lines, around buildings, in the rain, of people waiting to get into Coach, Polo, etc and it’s insanity! Anyway, we get in and out of our stores, which by the way had amazing sales!! Get back out to the parking lot somewhere around 3:45 am and head off to Target. Target was opening at 4 and we only needed a couple things in there while we wasted time to go to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get my father’s hammock.



Apparently Target had a huge sale on flat screen TV’s because every cart had a giant HD 40 inch flat screen in it. We pick up about 5 pairs of boots and shoes, some belts, costume jewelry, and then get into the express checkout line. We are pros! We are in and out of there in no time. We go over to Dick’s and guess what…hammocks are sold online only. Awesome! So we leave to head home and oddly enough I’m not even remotely tired. At around 6 am I drop my sister off at my parent’s house and head home to sleep.

Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep. A solid 5 hours and I’m up again. I am feeling super lazy but managed to order a baby shower gift and the hammock online (free shipping is awesome) and then just veg out.

Tonight is going to be a nice relaxing night with my sisters Alana and Gina over at Alana’s new place. We’re going to have some soup, cozy up on the sofa and watch her newly purchased, Eat, Pray, Love. J I can’t wait to watch the movie because I loved the book SO much. I’ll be sure and let you know how it is.


I&apos;m sleeping at the parent&apos;s house tonight so tomorrow I can go with Gina, at 7am, to Rice’s Flea Market. It’s my first time there but she swears by it. I am excited for some good deals and lots of cool stuff. I’m not sure if I will be shopping for myself or for others but I plan on having fun regardless.

Have a great day/night everyone!        </span>

It’s been a while since I wrote a Tinder Tuesday post, but I’m here with some not-so-breaking news. I FOUND A BOYFRIEND. ON TINDER (about three months ago). Sorry for the dramatic all-caps, but who woulda thunk it? Certainly not me.

When I started using Tinder, I figured I’d make up for all the casual dating I never did in college. You know, check out the prospects in the Washington metropolitan area, have a fun fling or two. I was certainly open to the idea of finding a serious relationship on Tinder, but I just didn’t really expect it to actually happen.

I can hardly believe it myself, but here I am, proof of the great flexibility of the app (which has been making the rounds at the Olympics, btw). Is it a hookup app? Yes. Is it a dating app? Yes. Is it a find-me-a-boyfriend app? Yes. I stand by my statement from a few months ago that Tinder is what you make it.

When I met my boyfriend—we’ll call him John—I knew right away things with him were going to be different (in a very good way), so I decided not to blog about him. Because I knew he was special, and I wanted privacy for the relationship to develop without writing some sort of public diary of the whole thing. And I didn’t want him to one day read this blog and think he was just entertainment for my friends and random strangers on the internet.

I will tell you a little bit about him though. Because I just can’t help myself. John is amazing. Calling your significant other amazing is really cliché and overused and just plain annoying (to me anyway), but the word is quite fitting for John. He is amazing. And thoughtful and sweet and incredibly funny. He did a great job with my first un-single Valentine’s Day: flowers and chocolate sent to my office, some cute little Hello Kitty happies (yes, I’m a fan), and a home-cooked dinner prepared while I lounged on the couch in my PJs with a glass of wine while listening to the Pandora station he created just for me. Well done, John.

So there ya have it. A happy ending. I’d like to take a moment to thank Addie, who encouraged me to use Tinder in the first place, and my roommate, who let me in on her Tindering—officially winning me over to the idea of jumping in on the action myself. If you just spent this past Valentine’s Day single and didn’t particularly like it, I’d like to encourage YOU to get on Tinder. Or Match.com or e-harmony or Christian Mingle or OkCupid or whatever floats your boat! Yes, there are some weirdos and some jerks out there, but I promise you there are some winners out there too!        </span>

Now I won’t say that a married person’s advice is better then a single persons advice because this blog is about dating and the single people are out there right now dealing with the current climate where I can only watch and analyze from the sidelines. But I think relationship experience with another person (not a house, friends, pets, and family) is just a different ball park of coping skills your dealing with.

You’re kind of proving her point. You’ve been married four years, and holding it up as some sign that your relationship is unbreakable because you value commitment. Why you may feel that way in your heart, your relationship hasn’t really stood the test of time. You have a myriad of health issues, your daughter has a myriad of health issues, and your relationship is far from healthy if the parties involved aren’t even healthy. Yet, every time she writes something about how to look for these signs, you hold your relationship up as some kind of accomplishment. You haven’t even hit your 30′s yet, have you? You have many more milestones to go, and I just think it’s a little premature for you to be claiming victory. It just shows how young you are – victory is never achieved in a relationship. It’s just a growth process. I admire your claim that you are committed, but that will only show over the years, maybe after a decade or two, like when you are old and tired and sick. Not now, while you still have youth on your side.

And you agreed with that quote from Melissa.

Question: Why do you not hold yourself to the same standards you expect from men? If I don’t pay for your dinner, I am cheap, but if you don’t pay for my dinner, you are being romanced?

Good luck in the dating world, toots. You continue to set women back. You are a weak, dependent, little girl.

Dude. You just commented 6 times on this post. That is too many. I suggest you check yourself and see why ANY post, written on a hot pink blog, would warrant that much of your time. Also, when trying to win an argument, many people appreciate brevity. You may have had good points, but I’ll never know as I got bored in the middle of comment #2. – Cali

Haha, sweet! I was actually really annoyed with myself about that. I was like, “oh way to be a bad speller, self.” Wonderful to know I am just an uncommon speller :)

Wow, I’m shocked by some of these comments. Cali, you said it so plain and simple: it’s NOT about the money. I guess it’s difficult for some people to see past that. Even if you are a woman who sincerely offers to pay or believes it to be the right thing to do, it doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy the feeling of a guy paying for you because it is a form of being taken care of, and like Lex and Kel pointed out, one of the few that are left in this age of poking and texting.

Cali is simply trying to give insight as to WHY women appreciate and like the gesture despite the seemingly contradictory modern day expectations that are thrown around. It gets confusing and we understand. But this is how we feel; we can’t help it. She’s trying to help you guys out by letting you know.

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely freeloaders out there, which makes both parties want to protect themselves (men from getting taken advantage of, and women from seeming like one of these unappreciative dates). I’m sorry for you guys who have fallen victim to this, but c’mon, we girls have been suckers when it comes to expectations in men too. It’s better to be safe than sorry though; if you genuinely care about the girl, show it. That’s all. Dating is not easy. If it was, this blog wouldn’t have been created and all you angries wouldn’t have put the time and effort into your comments.

Has anything been made worse by it’s glow in the dark nature? This product claims to be for underwater use, but I’m convinced it’s for those who gag. Either way Human Race, we made it here.

Literal songs of the day: Randy Newman and Nina Simone’s versions of, “I Think It’s Going To Rain Today.”

Gratuitous Jack Handey Quote: “If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is ‘God is crying.’ And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is ‘Probably because of something you did.’ ”

Let’s begin with a quote from  Raymond Carver:

“We are, all of us, abominably human. We are broken and we are flawed and even we ourselves barely recognize the degree to which this is true. And Love is this concept that, in its platonic ideal form, makes over other people and conceals those flaws and convinces us for brief moments that, Hey, perhaps this Other is not so flawed, is not broken, is not abominably just-like-me. And then we realize they are; and then they realize we are. But sometimes it’s just nice to be broken and flawed with someone. And it’s nice to have someone to get fucked up on bourbon and fall asleep half-naked on the couch with. And sometimes it’s nice to just pretend we’re not so flawed and broken and abominable. And it’s this concept of Love that is the problem, after all. We are broken and flawed and we created a broken and flawed concept because we have brains able to dream of things beyond ourselves and to imagine the nonexistent. But we have our bourbon and our couches and half of our clothes, so that’s okay. It’s really all okay.”

Now let’s make one thing clear: Love in the Dumps is not a conspiracy publication or love denier. We fully understand it’s essential to the advancement of our species, and, if the poets are right, might even be the meaning of it all.

But things have changed since Lord Byron. For if love was once a garden of lush red roses readily available for picking, it now resembles a grim urban lottery you play while picking up a pack of Pall Malls: for every happy winner there’s an unlucky slew who come up empty handed despite their best efforts. It’s a tight spot, mainly because we are conditioned to see love as a commodity – something you MUST HAVE, and can just get, like a toaster at Wal-Mart.

If social media apps went down, so would cheating. It’s too easy. Gals are becoming online sex workers (KIK me for money, etc.) and creepers are collecting pics by any means (if they can’t get sex, they are stealing photos for 1) personal reasons 2) share/shame/blackmail/sell. They are made for each other. Look at this reddit chat from today:

Guys help (self.kik)
submitted an hour ago by omiited
I’m snaking this girl and she asked for a pic someone send me link to attractive white person teenager also I have to make look real so taken from a cell phone
[–]-omitted- 1 point an hour ago
Send a pic of yourself bro
[–]omitted[S] 1 point an hour ago
Nvm got her nudes without picture doesn’t matter though total butter face
[–]-omitted- 1 point an hour ago
Lol msg me them

I’m kinda glad I’m not married these days because the goal of love has been replaced with the goal of lust. It’s all about self-entitlement, instant gratification and manipulating others in order to have your cake and eat it too.
RE Marriage: You can try to justify illicit affairs until the cows come home, but we all know it’s a personal choice to do it or not.
1) If you want to get married, so be it…but you give up screwing everyone else.
2)If you get married and want to screw other people, get divorced. Meanwhile, stop cockblocking
the rest of us by trying to get into a game where you don’t belong. Newsflash: We.Don’t.Want.You.
3) And stop chasing
folks who want
Either way, own it. And don’t go chasing people who are as low as you

I have never, ever said the word “Bravo” to anyone, but honestly after reading your post, my brain was literally saying BRAVO. (I also never write or respond to other people’s posts, for whatever that’s worth)

I’m really glad people are finding this post as a forum to discuss their feelings on the subject. Thank you for reading and thank you for commenting!

This comment and the first comment by “once married” should be mandatory reading for any man or woman even considering marriage. Even married men gave me false impressions/advice about their own marriages/experiences with being the bread winner for the family until I joined the fold and by then too late… now how to save this article somewhere wifey won’t find it by accident……

Jeff5 years ago
side note, yes married no not cheating nor actively trying but I do find reading this kind of thing interesting, and totally agree that marriage is an antiquated system for society.

Jeff5 years ago
Again, just happy this can be a forum where people are talking about this. Love seeing all the comments and glad you’re not cheating or actively looking right now! Thank you for reading and thanks for your feedback!

What about married men who do tell their wives and their wives are ok with it? My wife and I have an open relationship and we have a set of rules we each abide by. We have a happy sex life together but enjoy experiencing others every now and then. In this case, you have two adults who have agreed to a non-monogamous marriage. It’s not surprising that many women don’t understand this arrangement but it works quite well for us. I’ve attempted to use Tinder but most of the women are looking for a relationship, which isn’t going to happen with me. I do get a kick out of the reactions I get when I tell women about the open marriage.

I get back from London, and I still have weekend left of Spring Break.

So, I ride out somewhere with one of my boys.  I’m down there with Dr. Know It All, Frat Boy and a gang of friends.

And, I’m still on my shit.

Approaching like crazy.   Working on my game.

Thursday and Friday I get a couple of bad chicks facebooks and numbers.

But, Saturday night… I was on fire.

I was basically running the Krauser Day Game model at night…. in the street between the bars… with loads of alcohol and marijuana already flowing through my body.  I probably got about a dozen facebook/number closes in just one night.

All of my boys were impressed with my game.  Not only with the quality, but with my I don’t give a fuck attitude, but also with my openers.

I approach a black chick in the middle of street, who’s wearing a red dress.  At first, I liken her dress to Christmas, then to Valentine’s.  She tries to walk away from me a couple of times, but I stand my ground and motion for her to come back.  And, she keeps coming back.   Just like Moran showed me when he did the same thing to a French girl in the middle of Oxford street.

This black chick is loving my conversation.  She’s 28, I call her old, she pretends to walk off, then comes back…

“Oh my gosh!  You are just too funny, [Willy Wonka!]  I can tell you’re just going to have me laughing all of the time.  I can’t believe you called me old.”

I tell her her dress looks like a “Valentine’s present.”  She says the real “Valentine’s present” is what’s underneath her dress.

I get her Facebook and phone number, but the set went so well, I tell her I’m coming to her house when the clubs close.  She laughs and says, “call me, we’ll link up later.”

When shit closes down, me and boys are in line grabbing pizza and I text her, she texts back and I’m about to try to drop a DHV in when my phone dies.

Fuck.  Back to the car, back to the charger.

I call her.

Me:  What are you up to?
Her:  I’m at home in the bed.  Where are you?

Me:  I’m headed that way.  Text me your address.

Her:  I am in bed, [Willy Wonka]!  What does that mean when somebody is in bed?

Me:  I don’t know what that means, but I’m leaving town tomorrow.   Text me your address and I’ll come over and fuck the shit out of you.  I’m going to make you cum so many times.

Her:  Oh my gosh!  If I text you my address, you better not disappoint me!   What are you working with [Willy Wonka]?     She’s trying to ask me how big my dick is, but I’m in the car with two of my boys, so I’m not about to just be throwing measurements around like that…

Me:  I got you.  Trust me, I got you.

Her:  What are you working with?  Tell me what you’re working with!

Me:  Text me your address and find out.

Her:  You better tell your boys to wait outside for five minutes, because if you’re small, you’re not getting in!  I will laugh you out of my room!

Me:  Hahahaha!  Girl, you’re crazy.  I said I got you.

The shit tests and shit talking doesn’t stop there.  She goes on, asking me shit like what I do, why I like black girls, but I pull the plug and don’t let the shit go on like that… “Stop playing around girl, you know what you want, just text me your address.”

“I know what I want, I just don’t know if I should.  What I need you to do is answer my questions first.”

“Naw, this ain’t an interview, I’m not playing games.  I’m done answering questions.”

“You’re not going to answer my questions?  Goodnight!”   And she hangs up on me….

I just get my boys to drop me off at Dr. Know It All and Frat Boy’s place.   I still want to fuck this girl though, even though she is pissing me off when all the shit talking and questions and shit….

I send her a text:

Girl stop playing and text me that address.. you know what you want… I’m a throw you up against the wall, fuck you all over the room, make you cum so many times you can’t even take it…

She responds:

Lol I like what u sayn but u dont wanna answer my ?’s to make me feel comfortable abt da situation [Willy Wonka]

When she says this I decide to lighten up a bit:

I’m tryna make you comfortable, I just felt like you were playing around… I’m 25 in 3 weeks, from [city], go back tomorrow.  Name [Willy Wonka]… white, cute, funny, smart, and great in the sack… what else you need to know?

Her:

Lol I  just wanna know y u like black women damn [Willy Wonka] itz dat simple

I ask Frat Boy to borrow his car, I also ask him what I should say to that message, he says say something like “they’re smart and beautiful” so I say that… I also add in that they’re great at riding dick…

Then, I just call her… and run some comfort game… we’re talking about her recent trip to Seattle, blah, blah, blah… and then she says… “So, when are you coming over?”

“Are you going to text me the address?”

“I already did, I sent the text while we were talking.”

I look at my phone.  She actually did text me her address.  ”Alright, I’m on my way.”

I drive over there and take her up to her bedroom.  Make out, take her top off…. and shit… I should’ve turned the lights off first.  She’s one of those chicks that drops two points when you get her naked.   She was a 7, she’s reaching 5 territory now that I have her naked.

I turn the lights off now, and make out with her a bit more.  That two point drop really hurt my spirits though, and my erection – no way I’m reaching 100% now.  Not with a condom anyway…

I fuck her for a bit at about 75%, if that.   She’s still talking shit…. “you better keep that pace!”

I grab her hair and pull the fuck out of it to shut her up.   “Oh shit!”  is all she can say.  I just get rough as hell with her.   Then, I cum.

“[Willy Wonka], you’re not supposed to cum before I do!  I’m going to have to kick you out of my room now, I told you what was going to happen!”

She gets up and starts to put her panties back on.  I grab her and toss her ass across the bed, “This shit ain’t over”  I say and finger her for a little bit.  She cums, and then cums again.

Then, she gets up and runs to the bathroom,  ”fuck, you have magic fingers!!!  Shit, I need a towel!!  Oh my fucking god!!”

She comes back to the bed, “Oh, my gosh?  You’re still not hard?  After I came all over the place?   You must have that liquor dick!!”

Probably so.  I’m sure the weed’s not helping either…. neither is the fact that she’s a 2-pt dropper.

“I have a dainty dick,”  I say, “I need wetness to get hard.   Give me some head.”  I grab her hair and pull her head towards my dick.

“No!!”  She says, “I can’t!  I can’t do that!  I can’t give you head!”

“Why the fuck not?  If you want another round, I’ll fuck the shit out of you, but you gotta give me head first!”

“No, I can’t!  I can’t do that to my boyfriend!  I can’t do that to Jeremy!!”

She says she’ll fake it, and licks her hand and rubs my dick like that, and gets mouth kind of close to my dick and flicks her tongue and acts like she’s giving me head.   It’s shit, but it’s enough to get me a little harder.

Not for long though, as soon as I put the condom on, I start to lose it again.   I fuck her for a little while longer, but I just can’t keep it up.  I eventually just call it quits, and we both get dressed.

“It’s probably the liquor dick,”  she says, “I want to fuck you when you’re sober.  I’ll come to [my city] on Friday and fuck you again.”

“Alright.”  I say and head out the door.  She walks me out, then looks at me… “Can you pick me up?”  she says.

I pick her up and finger her for a little bit and puts her arm around my neck and pretends like we’re fucking.  ”Yeah, I can have a lot of fun with you!”  She says, “I need to get rid of this Jeremy situation.”

Ehhh….
