“John,” my husband’s colleague, a 40 year old divorcee with 3 kids, was asking my husband if I had any single girlfriends for him. My husband told him that I had plenty of single girlfriends (true) who would love to go out with him (false). So last time John stopped by our place they approached me for referrals.

A while ago, I wrote the post Just Because You Sleep There, Doesn’t Mean You Live There!
 
Now, an even more important fact:  Just because you sleep there, that doesn’t make you his wife!
 
Women everywhere are in dead-end relationships.  Meaning, they are in relationships that will never lead to the ultimate next step – marriage. 

When I tell you about a first date that one of my girlfriends went on, you’re not going to believe it.

She had met – I’ll call him “The Stand Up Guy” – at a speed dating event, and they made plans to go on a “real” date together.

The plan was to meet in downtown NYC for lunch. As with many first dates, the food was the best part.

One of the best ways to find out what men like and dislike about women is to hear that from men themselves. That’s why I often frequent the site askmen.com. It has a section called “Dating & Sex” that contains articles and advice about dealing with women, for men and by men. And getting the inside scoop on “man-talk” is extremely useful for a girl. I think of this as keeping current on what’s in on Man Street.
