Can you really fall in love online?

July 26, 2008

Do you think you can fall in love online? I do although it hasn’t happened to me yet. I happen to know at least one person who’s very happily married to a woman he met and fell in love with online. I’ve tried my best to find romance online but with less than stellar results.

I’m not complaining, though. I’ve had a lot of fun and met some fascinating and wonderful men online.

How can I tell if he likes me?

July 19, 2008

The signs indicating whether a guy likes you depend on how old you are. If you’re under 10, he likes you if he pretends he doesn’t. No, wait, that also applies to some egotists of any age. Avoid them.

The bottom line is that usually, unless you’re still in grade school, you can tell whether a guy likes you if you’re honest with yourself. He pays you compliments or keeps calling you or emailing or texting you. In short, he follows up with you. He pursues you. Sometimes he’ll give you a hint by saying something like I really like you.

I Wonder If He Likes Me

At my age, why do I still get terrible bouts of adolescent-like angst regarding the opposite sex? It drives me crazy and blows my whole image as a confident, independent, smart woman. About five weeks ago, I started seeing a very nice man I met at a party. The meeting was prearranged as he is the brother of a friend’s friend. I was eager to meet someone nice who didn’t require a background check. After a few months of fruitless online dating, I expected a known quantity to be a refreshing change of pace.

A Blue Suede Wedding

ElvisWhen someone I haven’t known long finds out I got married by Elvis in Las Vegas, they seem surprised. I’m not sure why. My one and only wedding was a really fun, sentimental event for everyone involved. Oh, my ex-father-in-law probably didn’t appreciate the dancing at the end of the ceremony. And come to think of it, the groom probably didn’t either but what the hell.

When we figured out we wanted to get married, we didn’t discuss where or when right away. When we did, we were surprised to discover we had both been thinking along the same lines: a Vegas wedding performed by Elvis. But he had one other requirement: not only did Elvis have to sing, he also had to perform the ceremony.
