I got a message from The Canadian congratulating me on my promotion. That's sweet.

And I dedicate this Lady GaGa song to you asshole. This song summarizes our relationship.

A Weekend Away Together

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:44:24 -0800

This weekend He and I are taking our first trip together. We're going to San Fransisco to visit His best friend. He considers His best friend His family; He's not close to His mother or sister. I'm very excited to see the city that He loves. Hopefully I can get over this cold by then.

I was thinking the other day how relieved I am in a way to not have to date anymore. Technically I stopped serial dating two years ago, but I'm so glad to not have to go through all that nonsense. Like this Improv Dating Scene event, or all the Meetup events I signed up for last year. Who needs 'em!?

My advise after all my dating adventures - don't do it.

Forget the sites, speed dating, cruises. It might work for a select few, but the averages don't measure up. Go out and enjoy your single life. Enjoy pure, true freedom with yourself. A relationship, even though it can be wonderfully, wonderful, is also another form of baggage.

Release yourselves!

Sex and the 405

My new favorite, must-read site.

Sex and the 405

http://sexandthe405.com/

I have a penchant for online dating. That's not to say I meet women in real life--I would say half of my dates are from real life, the other half virtual--but there's something fun about the whole online thing. [...]

5 Days of Freedom

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:15:50 -0800

Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.

In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!

Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).

I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.

(Young) Men, Start Your Engines: Cougars Are Coming to Convene! - LAist

(Young) Men, Start Your Engines: Cougars Are Coming to Convene! - LAist

http://laist.com/2009/10/26/younger_m...

Photo by LeatherChrissy via FlickrAttention all young guys who are fond of older ladies: The first-ever California Cougar Convention hits town on November 6th [Press Release]. In addition to the fine assortment of mature women who enjoy the company of younger men, attendees can enjoy dancing, a RapidDating Mixer, a competition for the title of Miss Cougar California, and a keynote address from Lucia "Queen of the Cougar Jungle." For those who are uninitiated in the means and ways of this murky relationship jungle, may we offer these helpful Urban Dictionary entries to serve as tour guides: An older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man. The cougar can be anyone from an overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim, to an absolute sad and bloated old horn-meister, to a real hottie or milf. Cougars are gaining in popularity -- particularly the true hotties -- as young men find not only a sexual high, but many times a chick with her shit together. And: Noun. A 35+ year old female who is on the "hunt" for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in San Francisco (or other cities)waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. "Man is cougar's number one prey" And for all you cost-conscious cubs, may we suggest using Goldstar's ticket service to help you score. Er, score half-off the $30 ticket price, that is. We'll leave the actual scoring up to you.

1-Month Mensiversary!

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:40:00 -0700

MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.

Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.

He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.

He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?

Save the Date

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:40:09 -0700

Last night had a fancy dinner with Him since it's dineLA week. I treated Him which shows that He doesn't need to be the one to "take care" of me all the time. I can finally say, "We're even."

During dinner He asked me to save the date of the 26th open. Sure, but what is that da...ooh.

Our one-month of being...official.

Seeing Kylie Minogue

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:19:16 -0700

The BFF and his BF were here over the weekend to see the fabulous Kylie Minogue in concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It's her first time touring the States. She was spectacular. On par with Madonna. I'd love to see her in a larger venue next time.

The entire weekend I was away from my...boyfriend. It's so weird to say/type that. I haven't had an official real boyfriend for 3 yrs and to suddenly be in a healthy relationship...it's just strange. Life can change so suddenly. It feels really good to be with someone who really wants to be with me and there's no hang ups, issues, or emotional baggage.

Everyday I find it harder and harder to go without seeing Him. I'm trying to keep a balance though. I've had too many friends just lose themselves completely once they got into a relationship. I still want to be myself and have my life. I want to incorporate Him into my life, not let Him become my life.

Facebook Official

nobody@vox.com(Dating LA) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 22:09:29 -0700

He made us official on Facebook. If this isn't a step towards really being official, I don't know what is.

Actually, He did it because this weekend was our first time hanging out with each other in the presence of our mutual friend who introduced us. But it was that awkward moment where He hadn't mentioned to anyone that we were dating, so what do we do? Suddenly embrace and make out and oh, btw, we're dating mutual friend?

No, we decided to play it cool.

But apparently He wasn't subtle enough because the mutual friend asked what was going on between us. Were we gazing into each others' eyes too long? Did she notice how He was touching my leg and trying to hold my hand?

At the end of the night I was teasing Him for not being more upfront with his friend (he's known her longer than I have) in the first place. So, later that evening He asked to go steady...over Facebook.

What a dork.
