Have you ever dated someone that used texting as their main mode of communication? I once had a three month relationship with a guy’s phone! Can anyone relate to this?!

I can summarize this “texting dating dance” in one word, LAAAZY. Sure texting can be useful and fun but when you are dating someone and getting to know them, texting is not the way to have a full blown conversation. Pick up the phone if you care to get to know someone. Some people say they don’t like to talk on the phone. That’s a cop out.  If a person is interested in you, they will take the time to get to know you via “old school” conversation.

When you are single for a while random people, friends and relatives don’t hesitate to ask you the unanswerable question “Why are you still single?”

Why is it that when you are single for a long time people tend to jump to the conclusion that there is something wrong with you? Why don’t they praise you for waiting for the right person to share your life with?

Singles Cruise Group Dinner

We had nearly 100 single cruisers on our recent Spring Break singles cruise on the Carnival Liberty where we headed for St. Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk. Right from the start I knew this was a group that wanted to have some fun.  Even though it was raining heavily, no one let that dampen their moods.
We enjoyed two sea days with lots of fun activities planned and the weather continued to get a lot better as we sailed toward St. Thomas. 

Who is courting who these days?  Who is supposed to ask who out? Is it brazen for a woman to ask a man out, or is it hot?  Why should a woman wait for a man to make the first move when they are very capable of buying their own drinks and opening their own doors?  In a world where many women actually do wear the pants – is chivalry in 2012 dead?  Some women are offended by gestures of chivalry and some men feel that they shouldn’t have to pay for dinner. That’s absolutely fine, but this is the minority and I’d like to focus on the majority.
