Which indicates we answer the above question with a whispered “Yes” and we try yet again approximately S E V E N times. And seven […]
I want to pitch the “Three Date and drop by for more than a drink rule”, but then I looked at this link and whoa….evidently there are consequences! Who made the rules for dating after divorce anyway? A deviant chemist…one that encourages sex on page one. I’m going to start calling my body a bitch. […]
A young woman, two generations younger and half a world away suggested I write a Q & A Blog for survivors. She’s still picking eggshells and gravel out of her feet after a bad breakup with a narcissist, but she’s out. She’s right, it would be encouraging and informative to hear from other survivors.

Bare-limbed-apple orchards hunkered in for winter, wide vistas, incredible warm apple pie ala mode. He and I visited in the car, didn’t slide on the snow-covered roads coming or going, but just as we were pulling up to my apartment, my iPhone 7 blurts, “Bill Jones”. The ID of an incoming call.
This link is to a great piece about how to initiate an accomplish a first kiss that will melt hearts and set us on fire. It comes with pictures! Pay extra attention to #12. Take this one slow. Tease us a bit. #AlexDelon.com #daretodate
This one made me laugh. Sick, but there you have it.
