A few months ago I wrote Yahoo! for Yahoo about a guy I had met in their personals. Since then I haven't written an update, even though the relationship seemed to be going swimmingly. I think my gut was telling me that if it seems too good to be true, hellooo Kay, it probably is.
Well, it's over, and I'm hurting pretty bad. I can tell you this for sure: never break up with a guy and have your elderly dog put to sleep in the same week. Either trauma is hard enough to cope with on its own; the double whammy is devastating.

Are Looks Really What Men Are Looking For?
It’s a scientific fact that men are more visually stimulated than women.
However, is it really the physical characteristics that men find attractive – the size of your nose, the bow of your lips, the color of your hair and eyes? Or is it a more intangible quality that makes people attracted to others.
Let’s face it – we have all been out and seen a couple and thought, in one of our rare catty moments, “How did she/he get him or her? Obviously, there is more than what lies on the surface when it comes to attraction.

Sometimes, my dating life seems more desolate than the Mojave Desert. It can feel like I am the last single person on the planet. What causes these droughts in our dating lives? Is it El Niño? Global Warming? Do I need to be more fuel efficient and green in my social life?
If you are going through a “dating dry spell” have you stopped to consider what kind of signals you are giving out?

Earning Your Trust
Trust is a binding force in relationships. One of the rules of bullshit detection is careful assignment of your trust. This can save you a broken heart and a lot of pain.
NEVER AGREE TO MORE THAN YOUR TRUST ALLOWS!

It’s that four letter word that can change if not the world, the course of your life forever. We fear it, we desire it, we mock it and we talk about it endlessly. Love. The staple of Hollywood, poets, novelist and just about anyone on the planet.
What’s so tricky about it? You would think anyone would want to hear it. However, in a dating relationship, it can add so much pressure. I have no second thoughts about telling a friend that I love them, but bring in a guy I like, and that word would not cross my lips no matter what tortures you subjected me too. Why Mandi, you say, you sound like such a confident woman, how can two consonants and two vowels cause you to run and hide?

Wow - I don't know where to begin, so I suppose I'll just start at the beginning…
A few weeks ago I put my profile on Yahoo! Personals. 3 days later I went back to check it and had 8 emails, really nice ones, too. There was one that really captured my interest - how do you not like it when someone says "I see wonderful possibilities for us."
I wanted to respond to that one in particular, especially since I found him quite attractive too, so I paid my $24.99 and joined for a month. The emails only got better, the phone calls were great, and 3 weeks ago we met for the first time.
