Can he commit? Check his cab light.

August 6, 2008

My friend has fallen. Totally and completely. Off the deep end. In love. And the man… he’s falling too. They’re both young. Their lives are together. Everything is ripe for – BIG BREATHLESS PAUSE – marriage. (Yes, I said that scary “M” word) One huge reason for this – both of their cab lights are on. They’ve both finally decided, in their own time, that it’s time to settle down.

What do you think about the Sex and the City cab light theory? Is timing really everything? For my friend it is and I couldn’t be happier for her! They really, truly adore each other and I so want it to work out.

What is a cab light you ask?

A cab light (I’m stealing this from Sex and the City) is when someone, namely a man, is ready to get married. When a man’s cab light is on it means he’s ready for a long-term fare or committed relationship.

Single Mom Reflex #1: Take care of each other

August 2, 2008

In the dating pool, single moms have a lot of reflexes – jerk radar is one of them.

But what happens when a single mom gets fooled? When her jerk radar fails her? It’s happened to all of us – and it’s THE WORST. You feel used, you feel like you wasted your time, you feel completely sick to your stomach and, the worst side effect of all, your kids can usually pick up on the pain.

So there’s another reflex – to take care of each other, to prevent the above from ever happening to another single mom. And when a man dates two single moms at once and then they call each other… it’s not pretty.

Flirty texts… go away.

July 29, 2008

My phone has been on fire for weeks now. The culprits? A number of men, some of whom I really want to hear from and the others… well, I think they definitely have me in one of those “fish nets.” They cast a text out to a several women they’ve gathered numbers for over time [...]

Fall at your own risk.

July 28, 2008

Just a warning to any of my current or potential suitors. I love you all, I do – but I’m not sure if you’ll get me in the end… because I am not sure about what I’m feeling, I can’t be. I have a son. I have to be very, very careful with my heart. [...]

The Rebound Year

July 25, 2008

After I left my ex-husband I wanted a new one. Immediately. I had been craving intimacy with him for two years and I was finally free to find it…with anyone. I was so blinded by my own desperation that I would check every man’s left ring finger… no matter who they were. I just wanted [...]

A letter to my future husband.

July 21, 2008

This could be a letter to no body. To the air. To the moon. To whoever is listening. Because I may never get married again. But I just felt like writing a love letter to somebody … so why not him? He who is a distant figment of my imagination but maybe if I start [...]

Single mom for sale!

June 30, 2008

It’s not easy to meet good men, especially for busy single moms. I barely have time to shower, let alone go man hunting. We can’t go out three nights a week like our childless counter parts and if we do meet a man in the coffee shop, at the park or on a fluke night [...]
