August 6, 2008My 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.
August 2, 2008In 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.
