Tweet It wasn’t so much an accident as it was a gesture. Not a Grand Romantic Gesture. More of a “it seemed like the right thing to do” gesture. Whatever it was, it lead to me being on the dance floor with a beautiful woman in my arms, both of us laughing a bit and… Continue reading Dance Floor Crush (or Maybe They Should Play More Couples Songs at the Goth Club)

Caught Up, Swept Away, Crushed, Whole Again
Tweet At the beginning it’s easy to get caught up. Caught up in the rush of the crush. In the glorious spin of possibilities. In the wild imaginings of what most certainly will be. Our hearts and minds soar, our heads spin, our toes barely touch the ground. Sure there is fear and worry, but… Continue reading Caught Up, Swept Away, Crushed, Whole Again

Our focus on–some may say obsession with–the… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Without ‘I’
Hump Day Crush: Ponderings on Status
Tweet On a semi-regular basis, I toss around the idea of really dating again. After all, it’s been more than a decade now and sometimes I think I should just go for something different just for the heck of it. I know that if I were to suddenly start “playing the field”, most people I… Continue reading Hump Day Crush: Ponderings on Status
