Paris is Calling

  Yesterday already seems like a blur.  I woke up early, but fell back asleep until 9:20 a.m.  Normally, anywhere on vacation, I wake up around 7:00 a.m., if not earlier.  Obviously, the bed in this apartment is way too comfortable!

Nothing But Love

I was impatient and very hard on him. They say that things are more concrete when you put … Continue reading »

Date Number Two

I went on my first date with a second guy from the on-line dating website this afternoon.  We met at Harry’s Bar over on Fillmore Street.  He was there exactly on time and sent a message to check on me.  I walked from my apartment, so showed up a few minutes after our meeting time. … Continue reading »

Une Petite Confession

Forgive me if this applies to you, but I’ve always made fun of people who try on-line dating.  Why sit at home on your computer when you could actually go out somewhere and meet people in person?!  Apparently, my laziness has kicked in because…  I confess to having tried an on-line dating website for a … Continue reading »
