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…


It’s finally time to celebrate the singletons!

If you’re sick of hearing people ask when you’re ready to settle down  (as if you don’t want to DUH you smug married jerks) then hallelujah! – your time has arrived: September 16-22nd is National Singles Week!

The statistics might shock you

What do the terms one pump chump,  minute man,  Jason job and early pearly have in common? Um, I really hope you can figure it out..and if you can’t, well, you probably shouldn’t be having sex. According to a new poll, said terms sum up the biggest problem Americans currently have with their sex lives: loving long time just ain’t happening.

Which is more important?

With tax day come and gone, I can safely breathe again. Another year, another return. Yada yada yada. But after seeing the results of a recent Chemistry.com survey on the importance of love vs. money, I had to do a little thinking about what mattered most to me. My answer, of course, was love. But what do other Americans prefer? Would anyone really cold hard cash over a warm heart? more…

French men tell us what they want — so why can’t their American counterparts do the same?

I have to confess that of all the men I’ve met around the world, Americans annoy me the most. They play games, they don’t know what they want, they attempt to sleep with you and walk away without giving even half a shit. I have spent most of my adult life seeking a Brit, or an Aussie or a Kiwi. I like honesty and straightforwardness and simplicity (though not of the mind, mind). Yes, I’m generalizing, and yes, I have found exceptions, but as a rule, I prefer foreigners. Angry Single Blogger Amanda Chatel, who has been living in Paris, very eloquently sums up the problem with American men — and reveals what they can learn from their French brethren. more…

Frisky lot we are!

When I think of America, I think of the colors red, white and blue. I think of the White House. I think of Thanksgiving turkey smothered in gravy. I think of apple pie. And then I read the results of a sex toy company survey about how we kinky Americans love to have sex in public places, and I thought ‘Ah, yes. When I think of ‘America’ from now, apparently I shall be thinking of the movie American Pie, what Alyson Hannigan did at band camp, and how Jason Biggs defiled one of my favorite desserts.’ more…

Would you sign on the dotted line?

Until now, the only ‘love contract’ I’ve ever heard of is what’s called a ‘marriage license’ in most familiar circles. But because of a rise in workplace sexual harassment, certain employers are having their workers sign documents providing written confirmation that any romantic workplace relationship they engage in is voluntary along with their W-2s. Smart, but it does make love sound like a business transaction. more…

What are you thankful for this year?

Thanksgiving is the one time of year that each and every American can relate to. Regardless of what religion we happen to be, it’s a time of togetherness, of family, of love. Naturally, this day makes me ruminate on how much I have and what I’m grateful for. So here it is, LoveTrekkers. Behold the long and meandering list of things I’m thankful for.

What happens if you find the one but he lives in another country…and visa issues prevent you from being together?

As most of you know, there is rhyme nor reason to who we love. Call it chemistry or call it crazy, but we tend to gravitate inexplicably towards certain people. Although I’m sure my type is a devilish 6’2, green-eyed, brown-haired British surfer, I’ll probably fall in love with a Ukranian guy who’s nearly as short as I am that  has awful teeth and a sweet disposition. You can’t know until it happens — ‘it’ being this whole falling in love business, of course — and it can happen anywhere. Which brings me to the film Like Crazy, which touched a very inappropriate place in my body…my heart. more…

It can happen anywhere, through any means

Still struggling to meet ‘the one’? Don’t dismiss men in other countries…or internet dating. Read American Sarah and British-born Chris’ dual versions of how they met, loved and are now engaged to be married this December. It will give you hope. It did for me, at least…
