In this episode, I talk about the asks guys have made upfront or with a heavy dose of hinting. Somehow they think because I’m a full-time writer, I can also copywrite for them, or help with their website text and product description, or help put together courses they want to offer. They offered little in return. This podcast is based upon my memoir Fifty First Dates. It’s available wherever ebooks and paperbacks are sold.

In this episode, I’m back on the humiliation train. I was this many days old when I learned that someone’s active disinterest in you was not a showing of love. I’ve only experienced relationships in two extremes – the love-bombing kind of intensity or active disinterest….

In this episode, I had my first date with a neurodivergent man. In his words, he was on the spectrum with Asperger’s. He was…late, though. By twenty or thirty minutes despite me arranging a date in his part of Los Angeles, nine miles and half hour from mine. The guy I met this summer asked me a question that inspired my latest essay published by The Good Men Project, Hello, Love Publication.

In this episode, I went on a third! date with The Hiker. This was a 'nice girl,' 'people pleasing' mistake. The moment I invited him, I wanted to take it back. Unfortunately, he responded nearly instantaneously. This was one of those guys where you think there's not much wrong, maybe I should give it a chance. But in retrospect, there was a lot wrong...incompatibility. He liked his food bland, his art bland, and his life bland. I live in full volume and color.

In this episode, I went on a second date with The Hiker. The first date with him was uneventful, or rather the night ended with me back in bed with Thunderbolt. I went on the second date with The Hiker because I was in the mindset that love and attraction can grow. What I left out of that equation was that nothing can grow in the infertile soil of incompatibility. This podcast is based upon my memoir Fifty First Dates.

In this episode, I went on a date with a man I wouldn’t trust in any context. He spent the entire THREE hours we were together watching the little girl behind me. She was 5. Also, he didn’t like Mexican women. Talk about two unattractive qualities. Then he negged me. After all that, he wanted a second date. This one proved that a high match percentage on Ok Cupid and a cute face are not two good reasons to go on a date. This podcast is based upon my memoir Fifty First Dates.
