Don’t miss out on love…

Obviously, I’m a big believer that love can happen anywhere, at any time.  That’s why I want you to imagine the following scenario. Pretend for a second that you’re a New Yorker waiting for the 6 train and you happen to lock eyes with a handsome stranger across the crowded platform.  You feel a jolt down to your pinky toe (and maybe elsewhere too). But then the moment passes. He gets on the train and you’re still stuck waiting with a sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering what might have been. more…

 Exercise makes you happy in love as well as life

I love to work out. I know, I know, I’m a freak of nature. The endorphin rush I get from a good run or a marathon session on the Elliptical always leaves me feeling euphoric and is well worth having frizzy hair and a beet red face.

In honor of the 11th season of Idol, here’s the hot list!

I admit it, I’m a huge dork…and I love all these musical competition shows (minus X Factor, that shit is whack). American Idol‘s top 13 of season 11 were chosen last night, and I couldn’t help but notice that Philip Philips — yes, that really is his name — looked particularly dreamy wearing a green shirt that matched his eyes (kind of like a pre-balding Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley – and don’t even pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about!). Hence, the hot list. Rock on! more…

You all know that “looking for love in all the right places” is my slogan. So I’m going to be straight up with you and say that — while you’ll literally find love on this list, I can’t actually vouch for the quality of menfolk you’ll meet in each town. This is my bid to make nice after hating on Valentine’s Day all week by creating a comprehensive guide to the cities named in the honor of lurv and romance. Now all I need is endless amounts of cash and way bigger cahones to spend a week searching for my life partner in Romance, Oklahoma. more…

Where in the world should you go to enjoy love and music?

1967 it ain’t, but 2011 can be your summer of love – especially if you’re an avid festival-goer. What better way to spend a sultry summer night than by geeking out to your favorite band with a beer in hand, pausing to kiss the quasi-hipster next to you underneath the stars? Tres romantique, non? Here’s your guide to who’s playing where and what kind of guys you’ll meet over the next three months. Rock on, ladies. more…

R. Luke Dubois made a series of easy-to-read color-coded maps based on dating profile results. Hope you know your geography!

Better hope you aren’t colorblind, because reading R. Luke Dubois’ candy-colored personality-trait maps will be virtually impossible. The New York-based performer and artist has manufactured 29 maps showing how men and women throughout America describe themselves when it comes to looking for love. His research? Sifting through 19 MILLION dating profiles. Will the results surprise you? They shocked me! more…

Streetspark says yes! Can I get someone to take this for a test-drive?

I received an email from my friend Christina today telling me I HAD to write about this new iPhone dating application called Streetspark. Life lesson #1 here: trust your pals. I’m now officially dying to try this app because — tada! — it claims to make dating in your very own city easy as 1, 2, 3. And as many of you know, it isn’t when we’re on vacation that we have problems meeting our match, it’s right here in our home cities… more…
