Dating Someone when the “One that Got Away” Comes Back

Posted by:

Many months ago, I worked with a reader on a struggle he was having with a woman he was talking to. As much as he worked to gain her interest, she never fully returned it. She would go on dates or communicate, then disappear. Or she would seem interested only apparently lose that interest in him a week later. Eventually she stopped responding and while hurt, he did get over her.

I talked about this type of situation in my ...

I also think there was some “hunting for each ...

Should Men Consider Dating Older Women?

Posted by:

I’m really learning to love OKCupid more every day. As I’ve written here in the past, it is my recommended free dating service. Aside from offering a great free dating option, they’re the only service that offers substantial statistics on the dating habits of their members.

In some ways I believe these statistics aren’t going to tell the whole story as I believe the type of clientele will differ from service to service. As an example, this article ...

Finding Good Dating Advice Online

Posted by:

I’m always looking for new, interesting, well-written dating articles to share with my readers. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the internet is full of crap. For every good article I find, there’s a dozen other sites that offer absolutely nothing. Almost all of these sites are intentionally bad in the sense that the goal is not to assist readers in any way. Apparently the authors of much of this drivel are very good at marketing their sites ...

Whenever I did finally meet someone I would almost always find out within the first few minutes of talking that she wasn’t the match I believed her to be. My first dates were stressful, disappointing, few and far-between. In the second phase of my online dating life (the ...
