... without another blog post. No, this is not an April Fool's Day Joke. But damn, April Fool's Day is the perfect day to bring back this blog, no?Yeah, It's been a minute since I wrote here. I moved to the land of No Black Men aka San Francisco (what up with that?) and have since planted a Mad Dater Flag on many countries (I like'em brown,...

When Your Mom Calls You at 4am, It Can Only Mean Trouble

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 07:49:50 PDT

I can't say that I am anything else but angry right now. I woke up at 2:30AM to get some work done. I procrastinated, and just when I decided that it was time to take a nap before working my mother calls at 4AM.I prepared myself to hear that my grandmother had passed away. And then I thought, "What if something happened to my brother?". So I...

Get Up Out of That Fetal Position and Get Thee to a Treadmill ASAP!

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:33:08 PST

Ok, I've stopped crying, I've removed the pizza place from speed dial and I've put down the Ben and Jerry's ice cream - it's time to rebuild. I've put the treadmill that I bought for my birthday into heavy use. And I feel sweaty and good. I'm gonna be better, stronger, faster and most importantly hotter.I remember when I broke up with Vidal...

What, Do You Think Tough Girls Don't Cry Too?

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:11:17 PST

Don't think that behind our tough girl image we aren't still girls. Do you think our hearts don't break also? Do you think we don't need your shoulders to cry on... too? Behind the woman drinking shots with you, behind the woman paying for your lap dance at the strip club, behind the woman talking shit to you while beating your ass at poker is a...

The following is an email sent to Dr. Love Bastard / Dr. Sigmund Bastard about the post: This Is Not The Email You Want To Get The Day After Valentine's. He called me after receiving my response to the email (see the comments from that post) and said, "Well you 'quote un-quote broke up with me' " & "We never had a conversation about it. ...

This Is Not The Email You Want To Get The Day After Valentine's

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 21:08:26 PST

It's days like this that I'm reminded that no matter how tough I try to act. I am still a girl who can get her feelings hurt.I was in love last year. I was in love with Dr. Love Bastard (aka Dr. Sigmund Bastard). I'm currently on a I Don't Love Him Diet since I'm not his The One. And more importantly, I've recently realized that he is not my...

No That's Not Chewbacca... That's An Angry Wife

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 22:21:49 PST

This is Part Two of the blog post: His Old Lady With The Shoe"AaArrRrGgGHhhh, AaArrRrGgGHhhh. AaArrRrGgGHhhh!!!" is a sound that only Chewbacca from Star Wars should make. "AaArrRrGgGHhhh!!!!!" is not the sound that a sane person makes. And "AaArrRrGgGHhhh!!!!!" is not the sound that you want to hear from an angry woman with a shoe in her hand...

His Old Lady With The Shoe

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 22:22:27 PST

Nothing says, "Bitch! That's my husband" better than a being hit with a shoe. Though from experience, I can also tell you that being hit with a shoe can also say: "Shut up, you smart ass kid". Especially if you start a sentence with: "Well if you wanted it done right, you should have done it yourself," and my mom is holding the shoe.Clearly, the...

Our Escape.He had retired last year and this period in his life was supposed to be the reward for all his years of working hard. This was supposed to be the...

This is an archived post. Please read my more recent posts to this dating blogSo let me just lay the facts out for you right up front:My mother left us a few days before my junior year of college was to start.

WTF is Wrong With These Jealous Bitches?!

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 22:24:02 PST

Jealously makes absolutely no sense to me. Like I've said before: Everyone has fans. Deal with it! There'll always be someone who finds The One Your With attractive... especially if you find them attractive. Deal with it! There'll always be people who cheat. Deal with it!And by deal with it, I don't mean checking your man's cell phone, email...

So How Do You Break Up With Someone... The Right Way?

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 16:06:10 PST

The comments on the blog post: relationship expiration dates got me thinking... when you do get to the end of a relationship, how do you end it properly?Each person has their own way of ending things. My mother broke up with my family by showing up less and less. She'd spend more and more time away from the family. First simply phoning in dinner...

And We Said We Wouldn't Be Like Them

noreply@blogger.com (The Mad Dater) — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 16:07:06 PST

My brother and I were really close growing up. So close that people used to think that were boyfriend and girlfriend because we were always together. When we were younger we watched cousin argue with cousin and uncle argue with uncle and promised each other that when we grew up we'd never be like that. We'd never fight. We'd never let the...

You are great and everything, but I am not feeling what I should be feeling."...

Yes, I have often proved the opposite to be true... by messing around with friends such as Dr. Love Bastard and Beverage Boy. But I do believe that men and women can be friends.Case in point: He's Like a Brother To Me - who I've been friends with for 10 years now. He loves me warts, quirks & all, laughs at my idiosyncrasies and never treats...

I'm not meant to have a menage a trois. I'll probably never have a threesome because the reality of "diving for pearls" is not appealing to me. But that's not to say I haven't attempted The Threesome.There was the time when I was hanging out with Lame Excuse Bastard at East Side Lounge and I asked a certain regular, Ms. Shows Her Breasts, if...

It was supposed to be about my last year of dating. I had it all planned in my head Thursday night. And then I woke up Friday morning to the sound of my cell phone ringing (actually it's my dad's cell phone). And God, I couldn't help myself, I hoped it was my Dad calling to wish me Happy Birthday on his cell phone. Which is a feat that could...
