I find myself in an interesting situation where some close friends are going through a divorce or are considering a divorce.  Since both of these friends are men, it provides a different perspective on my divorce.

Stuck In A Moment

You’ve got to get yourself together. You’ve got stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. Don’t say that later will be better. Now you’re stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. And if the night runs over, and if the day won’t last, and if your way …

Protective and Guarded

I remain confused. I was going to say conflicted, but confused is more appropriate. Maybe overwhelmed. I’ve been dating the same man for almost 6 months now and struggle more and more each day.

Another Date; Was It A Date?

I went out to a social networking event the other weekend. I ended up meeting a few people but spent most of the evening talking with one man. We work for the same company, but in different divisions on different campuses and have a lot in common. He isn’t my typical “physical type,” and I …

Memory Tricks – When Time Passed Makes An Ex More Attractive

I’m not currently dating anyone seriously; I don’t even have casual dates lined up. I’m burnt out from dating; especially on-line dating and misrepresenting profiles. My New Year’s Eve will not be spent with a date and instead with a banquet room full of strangers forcing me to venture out of my comfort zone and …

Learned Craziness – The Foundation for TornadoDating.com

I had an epiphany … It may be obvious to others as I write about it, but it’s taken me quite a while to realize. I grew up with mental illness in my family. My mother is bipolar with a strong mean streak. She has extreme mood swings with her highs and lows cycling quickly …
