Eligible in Edmonton: Speed Dating
By Miz. J
Being an intelligent, outgoing, fun, and, I’d like to think, funny single woman in Edmonton; it can be difficult to get into the dating scene. I, like many men and women, work in an environment where it’s hard to take the step from interesting conversation or casual hello, to an exchange of phone numbers. So where, and how, do you meet people?
Online? I’m too busy for this back and fourth through email and texting to then find the person is nothing as they had described themselves. So, what now…
When speed dating came up in conversation I pounced on the idea of a night out with friends, a nice glass of wine, a bite to eat and chance to meet a tonne of men. Always up for a good time, we booked our night and this dating adventure began. (more…)
Dealbreakers
Or, How to find someone you don’t want to kill part 2
Dealbreakers. We all have them. Some may label them as standards, but most people use the more casual term of “F**k no, you can’t touch that!”
Most of us don’t want axe murderers, married people or partners that have bizarre habits. But what about the smaller, annoying things? And what exactly is a dealbreaker?
The Urban Dictionary defines dealbreaker as “…’the catch’ that a particular individual cannot overlook and ultimately outweighs any redeeming quality the individual may possess.”
A few weeks back I discussed how you can find your perfect mate, or what you should look for. This week is weeding out the baddies. (more…)
How to find someone you don’t want to kill (part 1)
(Editor’s note: As always, Little Miss Curious is going to sex-up your day. So, careful at work when you’re reading this, because your boss may want you reading only boring stuff. Or not surfing the web at all.)
It’s that time of year again. Summer romances are ending, the air is getting cooler and once again many of us are looking for someone after the last firework has petered out.
This time though, it’s not to get hot and sweaty under the sheets, but rather someone to keep us warm during these long winter nights. Someone to kiss, cuddle and, OK, maybe get a little hot and sweaty when it’s -40. Let’s back it up though.
Once you hit a certain age the dating pool seems to just plummet. I’m in my late 20s and, although there are some single people, the majority are taken. I find the single people are single for a reason. (Next week, dealbreakers!)
So do me a favour. Whether you are in a relationship or single it’s always good to evaluate what you want out of your partner. I know I am currently re-evaluating my standards and what I want.
So before you start looking for that “special someone,” or in my case the flavour of the week (just kidding mom!), pick up a pen and draw three circles all within each other so it looks like nipple, areola, breast. (more…)
