Dating after 40
I’m baaaaaack!
While a month away can seem like a long time, it doesn’t when you’re in it. In fact, time took on a surrealism that I don’t experience when I am in the US. Because everything was so new and different — especially in India — every day seemed full. Cities we’d visited just days ago…
Guest column: His brain, her brain — never the twain shall meet

Singapore tailor yentas
The last time I was in Singapore I had some suits made so I decided to return to the same tailors. Serendipitously, they are in the building next to my hotel! I visited them my first day here and they remembered me and even what I bought. They are a playful group of Indian men…
Praying for a man
In Singapore we found a Hindu temple that we were told was for single women to pray for their man to appear. Since my two travel mates are also single, we thought this was a must do. The temple was encircled with carvings of various gods with interesting characteristics. This handsome god guards the entrance….

The first one is from my friend Rachel Sarah, author of Single Mom Seeking. Her book is full of not only practical tips, but candid reports from the dating front as a single mom….

I want to say they were in a dream, but they were so vivid and clear it was as if they were said by someone standing next to my bed. While I was still…
New approach to dating resolutions
I know it’s clichéd. Talking about New Year’s resolutions on New Year’s Eve. Ho hum. How original — not! But I heard a BBC World Service report that made me think differently about resolutions — especially dating resolutions.

However, when in the bedroom ready to commence, she couldn’t go through with it, claiming that sex together would cheapen their relationship. She exclaims, “I’m not just some girl you met on the Internet.”…
Playgirl glory
It took five months of occasional email exchanges to finally meet. It was worth the wait. Why so long? He had been traveling the world for a non-profit project he founded. He was in the States infrequently during the past year, and even more rarely at his home in my area. As part of getting…
