		<description><![CDATA[Quirkyalone is a new idea about being single (and indeed, about relationships) that has sparked a worldwide conversation and movement. The concept was originally introduced in an essay that I wrote ten years ago, and in 2004, in my book Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics.

Ten years after the original concept was introduced, I am [...]]]></description>

My friend Jenny just reminded me that I have a New Year�??s problem, which tends to emerge in a particularly virulent way when I travel. The problem is mad indecision. I feel the full force of the road not taken. In San Francisco, I can accept an uneventful New Year�??s Eve with close friends, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This shocking news just in: My love life may be over.
