Risk, Love, Rejection & Vampires
I’ve been thinking a lot about risk, love and rejection. After all, there may be a reason that I’m still single: I’m terrified to “put myself out there.” I never really knew what “putting yourself out there” meant, however, recently I’ve decided to define it as: finding someone you like or could like and telling them, or better yet, showing them your true feelings and interest. Simply, I suck at this. Instead, I retreat, appear aloof and pray that he’ll figure it out on his own that I do like them. All this, so I can avoid rejection. With age; however, I realize that the fear of rejection may render you alone with an ageing cat and a TiVo remote. Yes, folks I’m pointing the finger at me....
Read MoreCougar Boyfriends
It was inevitable that the women of the Bridget Jones and Ally McBeal generation would grow into “Cougardom.” As a girl/lady/ woman of a certain age, I am not beyond looking at the benefits of dating younger men. Despite the obvious sexual compatibility of a younger guy and older girl, the younger guys are just more pretty to look at. Just go to your 20 year class reunion and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Of course, I generalize and yes, there may be exceptions, but for cougar women it’s a numbers game and simply, there’s just more attractive, younger guys in the world than men my age or older.

It seems my love life is much like “Godilocks and the Three Little Bears,” but instead of wandering through the forest looking for food, I’m wandering through a jungle of aging men, self-proclaimed bachelors and Peter Pan playboys. After all, Goldilocks had to try Papa Bear’s and Mama Bear’s porridge, chair and bed before she found Baby Bear’s to be “just right.” Does that mean that my previous two loves were preparing me for the “just right” one? Looking back, I’ve only really loved twice. And though I loved them both dearly, neither were “just right.” Let’s break it down: Geoff – Too Big Clancy – Too Small He thinks big and lives large There’s never a dull...
Read MoreDear Ex-Boyfriends: These are for you
Sometimes I get a little nostaligc and think of the boys that got away or let me get away and eventually saved me from bad in-laws, Saturday’s at Home Depot and a shared checking account. So as I rumage through my Ipod, I find a few songs for those boys left behind. In the spirit of Casey Kasem, I count backwards. 10. Better Off Alone- Katherine McPhee: “You help me figure it out, I’m better off alone” 9. Another One Bites the Dust- Queen: “You took me for everything I had, are you happy, are you satisfied.” 8. I’m Movin’ On- Rascal Flats: “I’ve dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons…at once I’m at peace with myself.” 7. Leave the Pieces - The Wreckers: “It’s...
