Who has the money to date when we’re in a recession?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 25, 2008 ⋅ 13 comments

I’m not the only one who has noticed prices going up: gas, milk — even postage.
I love eating out — with a glass of wine, too — just as much as you do. But my most memorable dates haven’t been expensive. As you know, I love to hike in the woods, on the trail. Picnics [...]

Help: How do you have a sleepover when your kid is in the other room?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 14, 2008 ⋅ 36 comments

If you think I’m asking you this for selfish reasons — you’re right.
It was so easy when I was the single mom of a wee little one, like Ms. Single Mama or Chrissy at Glamour.
Back in the days, it was so simple. I could invite a man over — and escort him out the door [...]

When’s the last time you were tested for HIV?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 8, 2008 ⋅ 13 comments

If I had it my way, I would have fallen into a loving, committed, long-term relationship a long time ago. I’d still but there now.
But I’m not.
I’ve always been monogamous. When my first boyfriend and I started to sleep together in high school, I insisted that we get tested for HIV. That insistence hasn’t changed. [...]

Squeezing in a date before the birthday gala

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 7, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes!
While my little sister and Mae baked the 8th birthday ice skating cake (above) — which turned into a frosting party that yours truly got to clean up — I went on a date with the Biologist. We went downtown to a little swank bar, where [...]

Come out with me tomorrow night…

Top this: tomorrow night, a group of talented female authors is getting together to chat about writing, men, single motherhood, bad dates, work…and how we they balance it all.
If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, don’t miss this sassy event — Thursday, April 3 — to hear yours truly at the SF Commonwealth Club [...]

I invited the Biologist to our Easter egg hunt

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 23, 2008 ⋅ 9 comments

And then I promptly disinvited him.
But it wasn’t because I didn’t want to see him. (I really wanted to see him!). Moreover, I really wanted my single mom friends to meet him.
It would have been so convenient: three of my closest single mom girlfriends were all at the Egg Hunt. So, I’d invited the Biologist [...]

Running into my lacto fetishist

By singlemomseeking ⋅ March 3, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

I pulled a late night my final day in New York City, which surely exasperated the poison oak. After sipping wine with my superstar LifetimeTV editor at the chichi Bar Centrale, I headed downtown to hear some music.
Mae was with my best friend from Reed College uptown, making cookies, as I caught the subway to [...]

Should I ask my postman out for Valentine’s Day?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ January 30, 2008 ⋅ 14 comments

When I blogged recently about wanting a date for Valentine’ s Day, that sassy Ms Single Mama told me to “get back out there!”
She suggested that I keep my “eye out for single guys at the coffee shop, in the park - wherever.”
Easy enough. But when Ms Single Mama also suggested that I try out [...]

Getting Off?…A Book Give Away Contest!

By singlemomseeking ⋅ January 14, 2008 ⋅ 24 comments

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m holding a few Book Give Aways through February 14th. (Thanks to the rockin’ Andie at Seal Press!)
So, today, the Big Question is: “How do you fall in love again… when you’re a single parent?”
It takes a whole lot of guts to open yourself up to another human being again. [...]

If you want to date again, what’s holding you back?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ January 4, 2008 ⋅ 19 comments

Somewhere buried down deeply in every single mom, there’s a woman.
Yesterday, Dr. Leah — author of the best selling The Complete Single Mother: Reassuring Answers to Your Most Challenging Concerns — and I were talking about how many single moms we know who want to date — but don’t.
We wish we could say that, after [...]
