It was a quiet Sunday morning, and I was enjoying a second cup of coffee as I perused online dating profiles.  I almost choked when I noticed many of the gentlemen reaching out referred to me as a “girly girl with a passion for sports.”  Some wrote that though their interest in sports was not…

I noted that Chandler was thirty minutes late to our meeting, as I once again checked the time.  Several unsuccessful attempts had been made to contact him to no avail.  My calls went to voicemail.   I was both annoyed and very concerned.  What if something had happened to him?  As I finally rose to…

I was greeted by a warm baritone as I answered the phone.  It was my first vocal contact with Chandler, and I was pleasantly surprised by such a mellifluous sound.  His voice appeared to match the image of his online profile pictures–powerful and self-confident.   I found our conversation lively and enjoyable.  Among several things…

There was, however, one aspec.t of our time together I found to be irritating as a pesky fly that continues to buzz around, no matter how many times it is swatted away.  A woman who Brandt identified as his sister kept interrupting us with phone calls asking if he were done yet.  Initially, he looked…

As I entered the restaurant, I spied Brandt standing at the end of the bar nursing a drink and looking slightly bored.  He nodded in reply to my greeting.  With his long tresses brushed back from his face and his beard and mustaches, he reminded me of General George Armstrong Custer at the Little Bighorn. …

From his first hello, Sully’s voice was music to my ears.  Our phone conversations were easy and free flowing.  It was as though we had known each other in this life and beyond.  I felt as if he were my familiar.  There were no bawdy sex comments, no stilted conversations where I had to take…

Dawson had been divorced for 9 years and available for 3.  He was a straightforward guy who insisted during our phone conversations that he was not the least bit interested in remarrying.  I have always considered straightforward as an attractive trait because I am not a game player.  It is wearying and a waste of…

Aiden lived in another state, near the border of mine.  He and I split the distance between us, meaning we would each drive two hours to our designated meeting place.  I was somewhat surprised that he had reached out to me with such a distance between us.  However, he was nice looking and I had…

I smiled to myself when I caught sight of Luke waiting for me at one of the outdoor tables of the café where we were to meet.  He was pleasing to the eye and showed himself to be a gentleman when he stood and introduced himself, then pulled out a chair for me.  What a…
