Itwas not the first time on a virtual reality (VR) dating app for a girl who goes by the screen name Twitchin and whose name is Naomi in real life (IRL). About five years earlier, she had met and married a Danish man in VR. But because that relationship had a “very, very messy ending,“ t...

I did not want to use my vacation time to recover from surgery, but I also did not want to lose the vacation altogether. One of the worst things about this surgery, is that it will be a month after surgery before I can go in the water again. Since hot tubbing and swimming are two of my most favorite...

We’ll drop more F-bombs in one conversation than most people drop in their entire lives. In Boston, most guys have a unique talent of starting and finishing a sentence with the F word — I know, it’s mind boggling. Not to mention the more we drink, the higher our rate of F-bombs per...

You can get to know a foreign country on so many different levels…the food, local costumes. Getting to know the ordinary local people. Or you know, just mix it all together and date a cute local guy. Well yes, I happened to date Spanish boys. And boy did I learn quite a...

In the city where people love to complain about everything from electric scooters, to Ubers blocking bike lanes, long waits at Blue Bottle, incorrect DoorDash orders, fog, nudists, delayed MUNI lines, price of avocado toast, tech, hiking, steep hills, lack of late night cafe culture, nimby&rsqu...

We start with an ice-breaker exercise where everyone is given a card with a prompt. We are then sent out in the crowd to find 5 people to ask our prompt to and they are supposed to reciprocate by asking us their own prompt.

We have all been there: you swipe right, they swipe right, you match. The conversation starts nicely but soon you run out of captivating things to say. Or, worse, you go down the road of asking the same old, boring questions. And that’s how you kill romance! Without it ever being born… ...

In the thirty-eight years I have walked on this earth, I’ve yet to see a single woman who is happy by social standards. When a woman is independent, self-reliant, confident, and happy, she’s accused of faking happiness because no one is expected to be happy without a partner. I get...

It was just a simple trade at the start — partners in crime: I watch your back, and you watch mine. But it turns out my gradual loss of life is a side effect of being near you, and one you will never slow to notice. You boast of the stability you’ve gained by being with me. You ...

Most stories do not begin in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong narrator. But here I am, an atheist in a Catholic church at some ungodly hour. The hardwood pew jabs at my spine, and the piney aroma of incense sickens me, but I cannot leave. Only the stained-glass Jesus looming above...
