Where Most Missed Connections Happen In The USA

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…

The American Dream: To Be In Love Like Barack and Michelle

In honor of his re-election, let’s talk about Obama’s love life

I fell in love with Barack Obama the first moment I shook his hand. Before you all go getting scared thinking this is going to turn into a political piece, you can stop your mini-freakout right now. One, I don’t play that way (I even watched the election with a roomful of Obama haters) and two, HELLO, this is LoveTrekker. The only thing time my personal politics get involved is when a guy acts like a dick, and then I – quite democratically, I think – weigh the pros and cons of dumping him.

Grouper, A New Concept In Dating: Bring Your Friends Along!

Group dating, blind-style

If you’ve ever online dated (I have) you know that safety precautions are a must. You know the drill, tell your friends where you’re going, who you’re with, how you found him and his social security number (if you have it, as I bet some of you tech-savvy super sleuths do). But there’s no need to freak out that you  might be going out with a future serial killer — or even to feel awkward about meeting the potential meet of your dreams blindly anymore thanks to a new online “social” club called Grouper. Intrigued? Read on… more…

Meet The New ‘Bachelorette Boys’

ABC

Who would you date?

I know I tend to write a lot of shizzle about The Bachelor without ever having truly watched it, but that’s because I’m truly fascinated by it. 25 men/women vying for the attention of one ‘Bachelor’ or ‘Bachelorette’, who, by the way, is probably making out with at least half of his or her wannabe loves. In the words of the great Peter Griffin (of Family Guy fame), it really grinds my gears when I see any of these clowns pledge eternal love on a TV show…and give those that have ‘made the cut’ a ROSE of all things to advance to the next round. How trite and corny can you get? These people obviously haven’t heard of Dorothy Parker… more…

The Best CitiesTo Be Single This Valentine’s Day

Where can you avoid feeling sad and alone come February 14?

I’m not one of those people who snarls at loved up couples on Valentine’s Day, nor am I one of those women that needs to go out and get drunk with a gaggle of girlfriends to prove that I’m like, sooooo happy being single. But the way the world makes such a big deal out of this one holiday, I feel like I should be living one particular Bridget Jones’ Diary quote: “I suddenly realized that, unless something changed soon, I was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine and I’d finally diet, fat and alone, and be found three weeks later half-eaten by Alsatians…or I was going to turn into Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.” more…

Traveling For Love? It Might Be Closer Than You Think…

Where to find love — literally — around the world

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…

Love Is In The Air: Man Proposes To His Lady In-Flight To New York

Is proposing on a plane romantic or mortifying?

When I think airplane love, my teenage boy brain immediately goes ‘BOING! Mile-high club!’ But that isn’t the only kind of romance you can find in-flight. One man actually proposed to his girlfriend in the air on Friday. To me, the thought of a public proposal is cheesy, embarrassing and unromantic, but there’s different strokes for different folks, right? more…

Where To Meet Rich & Single Men

Wealthymen.com

This is legit, yo — it’s from CNN

I knew there was a reason I loved living in California so much. OK, I’m kidding — I don’t give a rat’s-you-know-what about men who have money (something Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger would not be happy to hear me say) but for some women, it’s at the top of their deal-breakers list. So if you want to snag a guy who’s affluent with minimal effort (meaning: there are more guys per capita in each of these locations), then you need just look at this list. It’s unfortunate for me that I couldn’t care less about how much he earns, because the numero uno spot is less than ten miles from my casa. Yeah, I know, I know…some girls have all the luck. So why isn’t Taylor Kitsch my next door neighbor again? more…

Rehab pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas
