It looks like it's time for another online dating break. I started messaging with Michael the other night. He was friendly and a good conversationalist, but seemed familiar to me. I asked him "Have we messaged before?" He told me he didn't think we'd messaged before but maybe he had a familiar face or something …

Matthew, Full-on-Monet
I was looking forward to a date with Matthew (that's his real damn name and on the dating site, he calls himself "Full-on-Monet"). In our messages, he seemed pretty smart and definitely witty.

A while back I messaged a guy on a dating site. I'll call him David to protect the shamelessly boastful. He …

Danger Noodle
Almost a year ago, I was dumped. If I claimed I bounced right back my computer screen would get a crack from the whack of my growing nose. In general I don't really miss him anymore (and by the way, how unfair is it that I actually feel guilty typing that? Feelings are such bullshit), but …
