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…

Where should you go if you’re single and ready to mingle?

I’m not going to sugar-coat this for you, and I’m sure you won’t be surprised, but I absolutely loathe New Year’s Eve. Not to sound sour, but there’s so much anticipation, so much effort, into ringing in the New Year in style that inevitably, the night itself is a bit of a letdown. more…

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…


It’s time for another uplifting little tale of love, my friends! Read the romantic story of a couple who knew their relationship would last forever after a mere nine dates and have some hope this holiday season. Remember, love can happen anywhere, at any time and with anyone…you just have to be open to it!

Touchdown! This research is real, y’all

Most men and yes, some women, have recently compiled their fantasy football draft picks, and a slew of Pennsylvania-based researchers have done the same, albeit in a slightly different way. The Wall Street Journal (see, this shit is legit!) enlisted the help of analysts at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA to study the facial symmetry of guys in the NFL. For each of the 32 teams in the league, the scientists picked five dudes in offense, five in defense, the head coach and team owner, and ran their photos through a computer program. So mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the hottest team of all? more…

Where do you go to get your tequila on come the 5th of May?

Raise your hand if you’re a big fan of Cinco de Mayo but don’t know exactly what it is. I’ll join you. The extent of my de Mayo knowledge is that it’s a really good day to stay off the road because of drunk drivers, a lot of tequila is consumed and very little sense is made. So what are we celebrating, and where should we celebrate? 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…

Ever hear a woman in Manhattan complain that her love life sucks? Well I do..all.the.time…with good reason!

OK, LoveTrekkers — I’ve finally mustered about the strength to address dating in New York City. It’s a tough topic to tackle, so bear with me. As a four-year resident who no longer has an Empire State of Mind, I can tell you exactly why it’s nearly impossible to take a bite out of the Big Apple‘s dating scene — and why, as a result, so many of my friends are struggling singles. 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…
